Here is a ma n whohas only just learned about the death of President Roos e velt and 1endel illkie; a nd of the passing of Hitler and Mussolini from the world scen e . And he's an American newspaperman too. For three and a half years Correspondent William MacDougall of the United Press has been a prisoner of the Japs, at a camp deep in the heart of the island of Sumatra. In Singapore no w , he finds himself in a strange new world, a modern Ri Van Winkle. On March Fifth, Nineteen Forty two, Bill MacDougall telephoned his home in Salt Lake City, from Bandoeng, Java. At the moment he w a s ,1 phoning, Dutch officers were warning t ■ him that the Japs were at the gate, and th at he had better iet out, he'd ~att•• better hurry. But he stayed on the phone just a few moments longer long enough to hear his mother say: "Don't forget son, I love you". He boarded a Dutch ship, March Sixth, Nineteen forty Two. The next day a Jap plane spotted them. Lifebelts were hur r iedly passed out. Then the ~~ - 2 ship's bar as thrown open for everybody to help themselves. acD oug al l loaded up on soda water! About no o n, more Jap p lanes came over. One of them t orped oed the ship. Co respondent UacDougall dived overboard, ex p ecting the other newspaperman. Hancock of the Associ a ted Press, to follow him. But as MacDoug al l came to the surface and turned to look at the boat, he s a Hancock still on deck, braced against the for ard rail. He never saw him again, but he learned afterwards from one of the ship's officers who survived, that the AP man went down with the ship, but came up, and was rescued. The UP reporter swam for the only lifeboat he could see, When he caught up with it, those on board shouted: " e're full, no more room!" YaoDougall pleaded with them. How could he swim to Java, two hundred and fifty miles away? But the men in the lifeboat rowed off and left him there to drown. The reporter says he felt no resentment, because the b oat ·s lo e t c ap a city . 1 , h e There caai x k on sw immin and s im i ng. swell, but his lifebel t kept him afloat. Once or t ice he felt l i e giving up, but his s h V mother' words, gave him heart:- "Don't forget son, I love you". He swam, slowly, conserving his strength. As the hou s passed, he became more confident - sure that some mir ac le would save him. Finally a Jap boat pie ed him up, and now he's safe in Singapore after spending three years and five months in a jungle prison camp in the wilds of Sumatra. One of MacDougall's first questions today was: "Wh o is Yr. Truman and what as he before he became Vice President? When he ••z heard the term "G I Jo " b a sked, " ho's he?" Hot only had he never • • e heard of an atouic bomb or a rocket plane, but heh dn't even he a rd of Veronica ake or Frank inatra. i,IARL HAR~R The Congressional inveetigation into the Pearl Harbor disaster will begin with a junke. The coaaittee announced today that it will fly to B~nolulu to inspect the layout of the harbor, the location of land defenses, and other physical installations. Senator Barkley, Chairman of the committee, says they 1 ay hold public hearings on the spot if there are any witnesses who are to be heard. Lots of excitement in Argentina. The Government in Buenos Aires has arrested two Generals, charging them with trying to incite the Fourth Division of the Argentinian army to revolt. One of these is General Arturo Rawson, the same who headed the military revolution in June, Nineteen Forty-three. The other is a Brigadier General Martin, a former Commander of the Fourth Division. Another indication of how explosive things are in Argentina. \ IR_A!LUN l ~ The secon d or d trad e union conference began at Par is today. Ther e w e re delegates from forty- six nation.
