(AP) (Delayed) Behind barbed-wire entanglements at this Marine corps base is the largest concentration of Japanese war prisoners in the world. TO the visitor fortunate enough to gain admittance, this prison camp provides a liberal education in the upsetting of firmly-held beliefs about the inscrutable Nipponese. Jap officers, enlisted men, and laborers captured at Guadalcanal by marines, those I have seen, are anything but resigned and sullen prisoners of war, who brood about the misery of their lot, as they are pictured in many reports I have read.

Once over his astonishment that he is being treated like a human being, and given more food than he has probably had for some time, the Jap undergoes a rapid readjustment. Often he becomes a happy-go-lucky prisoner with a passion for horse-play, cigarettes, v. i vi" I 4f XX ir i i II Wlliii ml A II ANTI FREEZE E. Foxworth Maj.

This started recently when two marines visited the camp to polish up the Japanese they had studied. One leatherneck called the other an Eight-Ball. Nor would Tojo appreciate the sentiments displayed by another prisoner, when someone mentioned Germany in his presence. With thumb and forefinger of his left hand he gripped, hi3 nose firmly, while the right hand shot forward in a Hitlerian salute.

(INS) A special board of Army Air forces officers Friday was investigating the circumstances surrounding the nation's worst airplane accident which took the lives of 35 Americans in Dutch Guiana on Jan. 15. Army officials were at a loss to explain why the huge four-motored army transport plane carrying the 35- persons, many prominent U.

S. officials, crashed into the South American jungles. The fact that there were no 'survivors of the crash made investigation of the cause of the accident 'even more difficult for army officials. Details of the accident were "very meager. The War department did not reveal whether army parties had reached the scene of the wreckage or, if so, in what condition they found the plane.

In addition to Knight, the victims of the crash included two ace Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and two U. S. State department officials.

The New Leader, a radical Socialist paper put out every week in New York City, reports that American merchant seamen are being shanghaied into making the Communist party the beneficiary of their $5,000 war risk insurance policies. According to advices reaching xne JNew ieaaer, merchant sailors without wives or other dependents, are being strongly urged by leaders within the National Maritime union, which decides whether the men will work or not, to designate individual Communists to receive their insurance money in the event of death. Then the Communists are supposed to turn the money, over to the party treasury. Reliable sources report the Communist party, or as it is called along the water front, has piled up a tidy little sum of $30,000 or $40,000 so far through this insurance windfall. Support Communist Una Leaders of the National Maritime union are interested in financing: the CP.

because, ever since the union sprang into being in the violent strikes of 1936 and 1937, the N. M. U. leaders have gone along with, the zigzagging policies of the Communist party line. They were against going into the war before Hitler attacked Russia.

They said it was an "im perialistic" and "capitalistic" war. Now, under the respectable cov er of the Russian war effort, the C. P. is forging ahead within JJie Maritime union and attempting Tx raid the International Longshoremen's association of the American Federation of Labor for the bene fit of the West coast organization headed by Harry Bridges. Bridges is the notorious alien union boss marked for deportation because of his Red connections.

In the ranks of the N. M. U. and among: the leaders of the crews aboard the ships carrying supplies to the American forces and our allies overseas there are many who echo the Communist sentiments of their bosses. Navy Reports Conditions Naval off icers and sailors of the gun crews aboard the cargo vessels have returned from perilous voyages with stories of the sur liness, lack of discipline and sea manship, and laziness of many of the merchant sailors, it is said the only ambition of many of them is to get their hands on the big compensation held out as an in ducement to get crews for the ships entering the war zones.

United States sailors who man the destroyers, cruisers, and other warships which protect the con voys on the open seas, receive pay as low as $50 a month. They are also subject to navy discipline.
