Major Boyle said the most important characteristic of the men was their ability to meet any situation and if necessary to meet it alone.

Of the personnel, 99 percent come from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland with the others from Canada and Australia. "They certainly make the Germans jumpy, he said, "one night a party of Germans were riding their bicycles on their way to take over duty in one of their concrete defense posts. They were laughing and talking as they free-wheeled down a hill with a bend in it. As they rounded that bend, a burst of fire from a Tommy gun greeted them. Not one of them finished his ride.

Police Friday were searching for a burglar who entered the Chamber of Commerce building here sometime early Thursday morning and stole $10 in change and a record player attachment. The loot was taken from the offices of the Lansing Safety council and the Chamber of Commerce main office. Another office on the second floor was ransacked but apparently nothing was stolen. Police were unable to determine how the burglar had entered the building. The officer who told these stories was one of Royce's first victims at Carlstrom field.

The spokesman said the department has no authentic information about men missing in the battle of the Java sea who may be prisoners of war but that "it is not impossible that some navy personnel reported as missing have been picked up by enemy ships." However, the spokesman suggested that relatives and friends deeply concerned over the fate of all the men reported missing should await authentic information which will be made public as soon as available from the prisoner-of-war information bureau in the office of the provost marshal general in the war department. The navy has announced that several American naval vessels have been sunk or have vanished in the vicinity of Java.

The cruiser Houston and the destroyer Pope vanished toward the end of the "Battle of the Java Sea" February 27 and 28. Also in the waters around Java the destroyers Ed-sall and Pillsbury, submarine Perch, aircraft tender Langley, tanker Pecos and gunboat Asheville have been announced lost. The navy spokesman made this comment on Japanese broadcasts: "Tokyo propaganda broadcasts recently had 'described' the 'rescue of some British and American survivors of the battle of the Java The broadcasts have gone on to say further that the 'rescued men expressed gratitude after thus being saved from their watery "Assertedly quoting the remarks of a 'commander of a United States the Japanese broadcaster stat of Michigan into snowstorms to pioneer pursuit lessons in sub-zero Here is the latest example, a para weather.
