More than 15.000 British.

Survivors rescued by American Rangers from the prison camp at Cabanatuan said the death toll represented more than half of 30,000 prisoners working on the line. After the surrender of Singapore, prisoners were kept there gathering corpses and clearing the city of debris left by Japanese bombings. In June, 1942, 20.000 British 5,000 Australians and 5,000 Dutch were ta!;en to Siam and placed on a rail construction job where inhuman treatment and rotting food was their common lot. The prisoners worked only in brief shorts and usually without shoes. Brutal guards, at the slightest excuse, would punch their captives and prod them with bayonets and rifle butts.

Rubber Research Work Wins Thomas High Honor ipilfjiiR 1 iTsurJ 3 .KEEPS SUMMER HFtT OUT NEW YORK. One of the chemi-ca- l world's highest honors, the gold medal of the American Institute of Chemists,- - has been awarded to John W. Thomas of Akron, Ohio. The medal was given in recognition of the leadership of Mr. Thomas in rubber research for four decades, and for achievements under his direction in the development and production of synthetic rubber. Former recipients of the medal include Dr. Willard H. Dow, president of the Dow Chemical company; Andrew W. Mellon, the late secretary of the treasury, and his brother, the late Richard B. Mellon of Pittsburgh; James Bryan; Con-an- t, president of Harvard university; and the late George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak company. Mr. Thomas, the son of a Welsh coal miner, worked his way through college and majored in chemistry. In 1908 he installed the first chemical laboratories at Firestone Tire and Rubber comany, which first developed tires made from synthetic rubber more than a dozen years ago. The American Institute of Chemists is composed of professional men whose achievements in chemistry have been judged outstanding, and embraces all phases of industry. Japs Lack Manners at Marines' Picture Show - IN THE EAST. The marines landed, drove the Japs back, and then hastily erected a movie screen, a crude affair that jutted up in a little clearing surrounded by jungle. At night the show went on, and the fighting men sat around in the sand to look and listen. In the midst of the show shots suddenly rang out in the undergrowth as marine sentries battled Japs. Bullets whined overhead as the audience hit the deck, says Leatherneck. After a brief flurry of shooting the Japs withdrew, and the marines sat up cautiously to watch the rest of the picture. As things returned to normal, an irritated voice growled, "Damn those Japs. If they don't like the show, why can't they leave quietly?" Old Roman Pottery Is Discovered in Britain e A kiln yielding the largest collection of Roman pottery found in Britain in recent generations was discovered recently through a chance remark of a home an archeologlst disguardsman, closed.

You have seen this bird in the movies and heard him several times on Fred Allen's program. His weekly stipend is $500 and although Raffles deducts the expenses of a personal maid, his income tax check will be considerable. You recently saw Lassie, the dag in "Lassie Come Home." And when he comes home, he'll hare to dig up a bone or two and send, them to Washington. You see, Lassie earns 250 iron men weekly, and thereby becomes a canine victim of the "long" blank. Even Pete, the penguin, has to dance to the Morganthau tune. Already Pete has 60,000 fish in a Los Angeles bank. Among other stars that pay animal taxes are Daisy, who cavorta around with Dagwood. Her income Is over $2,000 a month. Then there's Asta, of the "Thin Man" series, and Cheetah, the chimp and friend of Tarzan. These and many other onlmal celebrltlea join In the tax parade. Pleasant weather has returned, after some very cold and disagreeable north winds and snow scurries during a several days period. Victory gardeners will soon be busy on the land. |
