ADRIAN DAILY TELEGRAM, ADRIAN, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1942 SEVEN Japanese Atrocity Story About Morenci Marine Branded Untrue Actual photographs and eye witness accounts many of the atrocity stories concerning Japan's Invasion of China but the one about Jack Bishop of Morenci, captured with the U. S. Marines near the Korean peninsula at the opening of hostilities December 7, isn't true. A rumor concerning Bishop, a Platoon Sergeant with the U. S.

Marines, that has gained, wide circulation in the county is substantially as follows: He was capture? by the Japan- Chest Colds VVAPOfiUB To Relieve Misery Rub on Tested But its getting near to spring and -we'd like to point out that your clothes will need to be cleaned and pressed.

Millard Bourns of Dover township who has been spending the whiter with her husband at Percy, Arkansas, received a letter from her son. (Mrs. Bourns hasn't heard from her son directly, since he was captured.) In the letter. Bishop is supposed to have emphasized the value of the stamp. After thinking it over, Mrs.

Bourns is supposed to have steamed the stamp off the envelop. On the back of the stamp was supposed to have been written "Those Japs have cut out my tongue." "The rumor is entirely without foundation," Bourns wrote this week. "The last direct word from Jack was a letter written in July." Early this month, Mrs. Bourns received a letter from Marine headquarters in Washington. In the letter she was informed that the State Department and the American Red Cross were making arrangements with the Japanese government for the delivery of mail and packages.

Through the Swiss Consul General at Shanghai, the letter from Marine headquarters said, word has been received that Marines captured in China are being held prisoners of war at a camp near Shanghai and that they are being well treated. The rumor concerning the note on the back of the stamp has been circulated about various other Lenawee county men in the armed forces. In Bishop's case, his mother says, it is definitely untrue. The story of Japanese atrocities at Nanking, however, and more recently of the wanton murder and rape of women at Hong- kong have been confirmed by those who escaped.

PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS Patriotic Note Introduced in 1942 Edition Along with nearly everything else in these times, the Sickle, Adrian senior high school year book, is going patriotic this year. A preview of the annual which goes to press this week indicates that" it will be one of the most attractive and readable editions in Sickle history. Informal photographs of school activities and plenty of them along with a clever method of developing the patriotic theme on every page should make the book most readable for students as well as for alumni and friends of the school. For example, a double, page aerial view of the junior and senior high school buildings is one new highlight of the book.

The sales campaign was started this week among students and also outside the school. Despite the rise in publication costs, the price of ths book will be $1.50, the usual price. Gloria Kishpaugh is the editor In chief of the 1942 Sickle and Miss Helen McComb is the faculty adviser. Other key members of the staff are Harvey Kapnick, associate editor; Bob Gregeroff, business manager; Dee Dibble, sales manager, and Patsy Stark, advertising manager. It is expected that the Sickle will be ready for delivery the last week in May.

Du Pont Official Is Speaker at Kiwanis Meeting Farm products will be more closely linked to industrial production than ever before as research laboratories meet the demand of the war program, according to L. F. Livingston, manager of the DuPont Agricultural Extension Division, who spoke at the meeting of the Adrian Kiwanis Club at the Hotel Lenaweo yesterday noon. Mr.

Livingston was introduced by O. B. Price of Chicago, who is the agriculture and livestock agent for the New York Central railroad system. Fifteen guests of the club were present "There is no limit to the factory appetite to be fed by the farm," Mr. Livingston said, "The partnership between the farmer and the manufacturer is a close one, much closer now than most of us realize.

And as we fill the arsenals in the struggle to hold our freedom, the farmer can see perhaps, a quarter of a 'century's normal advance toward a new and more prosperous era telescoped into a Eew years," he said. The United States is now self- sufficient in such vital raw mater- als as nitrates, dyes and camphor, PRECINCT TEN Mason McElroy, Warden 1109 Frank Street Phone 1H2J POST A.

Says-War Calls for Ships and Planes Specifically NEW YORK, March 17 miral Thmoas Hart, although admitting the Japanese could greatly Increase their military power by gaining time and ex- captured territory, said ast night that "at least we shall win" the last campaign. Terming this an amphibious war, Ihe commander of the U.

S. Asiatic fleet said in a broadcast over CBS that "that is the most difficult kind of war, requiring all the arms. Most specifically does it call for ships and planes." "Parenthetically," he said, "I must point out that any ship-versus-plane controversy is just plain silly. Amphibious warfare is primarily a matter of ships and due to "the vigorous prosecution of scientific research" during the first World War," he said. In like manner the "present emergency is speeding up the trend toward greater utilization of agricultural raw materials in industry." The substitutes in many cases are superior to the original product, he stated.

Mr. Livingston cited the automobile as the prime example of improvement due to industrial-agricultural research, "and exhibited several chemical products of recent origin. Flame proof textile fabrics, plastic rods that conduct light around corners, and a new cream which forms an invisible glove over the hands for protection against paint, grease and stains were demonstrated. At the business meeting a' total of $45 in defense stamps were sold. R.

A check for that amount was deposited yesterday to pay the City of New York for Pier 88, alongside which the giant toppled February 9 while being converted as the naval auxiliary, Lafayette. The pier is needed, the government said, for the "maintenance, repair, renewal and alteration" ol the fallen ship, although no assurance has been given that the Normandie can be raised. WAR ACTIVITY INCREASES CAIRO, March 17 Gen. Erwin Rommel's North Africa corps has increased its activity in the Libyan Desert, a British commun- ique said today in disclosing that a "strong enemy column including tanks" moved forward in the Cherima area but withdrew in the face of British mobile forces.

planes, The ships and planes must be handled and fought together and that can be successfully done only If all the personnel, continuously trained together, understands each other's problems, and speaks each other's' language. My inference Is obvious." The former commander of the combined naval forces of the United Nations in 'the southwest Pacific said Japanese successes "have not been without cost to far from it, though just what their losses are cannot be now known." But he said there Is "a very considerable list In the category of ships certainly destroyed and there is also another list of enemy ships which "will be licking their wounds in port for a long Indeed they ever reach their ports." American submarines have been operating in front and in the rear of the Japanese, he said, adding "the submarines' total bag of enemy ships is nearly all of them remain as an experienced force of great "power for carrying on the war." He said "the remaining elements of the Asiatic fleet also have operated throughout according to Admiral Hart called for discipline at home as well along the firing line "if we are to win against enemy nations whose peoples are disciplined all the way through." "It is not pleasant," he said "for any of us to have to do otherwise than as we severeally wish to do, but there is no other road to the unity of effort and to the equality of individual sacrifice which Is required to meet the emergency in which we find ourselves."
