An Al lied mercy crew which landed at Keijo, Korea, in the midst of 50,000 Japanese soldiers was alternately cursed, threatened, wined and en tertained before it took off again with 500 gallons of Japanese gaso line, a member of the party said recently.

Lieberman, who accompanied the team, related the story. The team was led by Lt. Col. Willis H. Bird of Landsdowne, Pa. As the transport settled down on the Japanese air strip, high ranking Japanese officers, including one identified as Lt. Gen. Yoshio Kot suki, commander of the enemy forces in Korea, approached. He re fused the request of the Americans to see Allied prisoners and also re fused to give the names and nation alities of the prisoners. Drinks, Songs?and Cons. The mercy team and the crew of the plane put up for the night be cause the Japanese commandant was unable to get enough gasoline for the C-47 to leave immediately. The Japanese meantime -brought tip two tanks and set up trench mqg tars around the plane. A 37 milli meter cannon covered the party. During the night the Japanese en tertained the Americans with beer, sake and Japanese songs. Flight Officer Edward McGee of Durant, Okla., commenting on the scene said: "If someone had told me two weeks ago I'd be in a setup like this I would have turned him over to the loco ward." Although the members of the team were armed with revolvers, tommy-guns and hand grenades just in case of trouble, Capt. Patrick Teel of New York City, who was with the first Ranger battalion at Anzio, said: "It'll take just five minutes to make us all dead ducks." The flight to Korea from Sian en tailed a journey of almost 1,000 miles over Japanese occupied terri tory. As the plane got within 500 miles of Keijo the radio operator, Lt. Meredith L. Price of Charleston, W. Va., attempted to establish contact with the Japanese. "We are expecting you and we guarantee you safe conduct," the Japanese said. When the plane landed, Maj. Gen. Junjiro Ihara, chief of staff for the Japanese forces in Korea, asked Col. Bird his mission. Jnst Looking Around. The American officer replied that he was in Korea "as the initial pre Allied occupation representative to bring whatever help is needed by | Allied prisoners of war and to make ' preliminary arrangements for fu ture evacuation in accordance with the terms of the peace negoti ations." "Then you're not here to negotiate a surrender?" Ihara asked. "No, our mission is purely i humanitarian," Bird replied. i Ihara said that the prisoners were well and were being cared for, but that the party could not see them. I During supper that night the Jap- i anese were quite convivial. After i singing Japanese songs, one asked, "What is the American air force song?" 1 Led by Capt. John Wagoner of the I air transport command, from Grand Island, Neb., the Americans 1 let loose with the chorus of "OS we go into the wild blue yonder." The Japanese beamed and beat time on the table with their fingers. 1 After the Americans finished, the Japanese sang their air force song, "The Fighting Wing." The next day the atmosphere be came tense again. When Bird asked a Japanese oSlcer to sign a note saying the mission had arrived but was refused permission to act, the major swore and made stinging ref erences to "inferior persons." Shortly afterward the guard around the plane was increased. The gasoline finally was poured into tba big ship and the Americans ?nH Knrpnni took off on *K? raturn Bight.

LOS ANGELES. - An outraged 17 year-old husband told police he shot and killed Harold Timothy Young, 30-year-old father of three children who wooed and won his wife away from him "under my very nose." Leon Benon, 17, a warehouseman. was held on suspicion of murder. Deputy sheriff said he freely ad mitted shooting Young when he "found him making love to my wife." Benon and his pretty 16-year-old wife, Lois Jean, celebrated their first wedding anniversary three days ago. Both are from Alpine, Texas, as is Young. Officers summoned to the Benon home by Francis Elgin Smith, 33 > ear-old baker, found Young's body on the living room floor, his head and body riddled with rifle slugs. Benon and his wife were arrested at the home of his mother-in-law. "This fellow has been playing around with my' wife' for a couple of Btcntha," Deputy Gordon Bow ers quoted Benon as saying. "I fi nally said, 'To hell with it' and went for my gun." The gun was found dismantled and tucked into a bedroom drawer at the Benon home, Bdwers said. Smith told the most complete story of the tragic affair. He said he and Young and the Benons had re turned from a ride in Los Angeles and started talking in the living room. "Young said suddenly, 'I'm in love with Lois. I want her to go to Texas with me,' " Smith related, according to police. "Lois said she'd like to. Benon turned to her and said, 'Do you love him?' She said, 'I think I do, I don't know.' " "That got Benon. He jumped up, grabbed his gun and blazed away." Science Sweetens Future Sponges in Your Candy WASHINGTON. - Mc>be your postwar candy bar will sound dif ferent. It may contain "starch sponges"?which are very crispy and crtmchy. Don't worry though?a Starch sponge isn't any relation to the porous swab you use to wash your car. It's something stewed up in a test tube at the department of agricul ture's northern regional research laboratory at Peoria, 111., by a lady scientist named Majel M. McMas ters. It's made of corn and depart ment officials are pretty enthusias tic about its possibility as a food project. T. Swann Harding, editor of the department's house organ, "Usda," gave the world its first notice that science is beating fleld com into candy bars (or the snack trade. "In its dry state," he "ported, "the ground or shredded sponge, because of its crispiness, imparts crunchiness to confections or crackle-like wafers. "Shredded dry sponge also has properties similar to shredded coco nut or chopped nut meats. When finely ground, the material shows promise as a stabilizer in chocolat*. coatings and icings." Making It involves a lot of proc esses. The result is an extremely porous material with "very high cal orific value," Harding says, and you know?crunchy. Commercial candymakers are def initely interested. Massachusetts Town Remembers First Banana WELLFLEET, MASS.-This Cape Cod village is celebrating this year the 75th birthday of the banana.

Allen of West Monroe, Louisi ana, has an interesting story to tell about how she discovered Fault less Starch. Here is what she wrote: "Last week , my husband brought home a box of Fault less Starch. 1 decided to use it, thinking that all starches were about the same. You can imagine my surprise when I began ironing. My iron fairly flew and I was finished in no time. My clothes were so bright, with no rough starch blotches to mar their sleek ness. I felt I just had to tell you how wonderful your starch is. My husband was just as nvniirl as 1 whpti ho g?w his shirts. I wish all women could Just try your product." i Now there is a thoughtful hus band. That box/ of Faultless Starch really meant more to Mrs. Allen than a box of candy?and here is why: SAVE 468 MINUTES A TEAR Let's say it takes ten minutes to make-hot starch, when you have to cook it and stir it over a hot stave. But you can make hot Eaultless Starch in a minute. That means you save nine minutes each time y?u make it. If you wash only once a week, in one year you would save 468 minutes, or seven hours and forty minutes. Would you rather have a box of candy or a box of starch that saved you bet ter than seven hours a year? SAVE 26 HOURS A YEAR And that isn't all! Many people tell us that Faultless Starch makes it possible to save half their iron ing time. Let's be conservative and say that Faultless Starch might save you half an hour each ironing day. In a year you would save twenty-six' hours of hard iroit ing time! Which is best?a box of candy or a box of Faultless Starch? Why go on starching and ironing the hard way when you can do it the easy way with Faultless Starch. Or, better still, ask your grocer for a box today. You deserve Faultless Starch, too.?Adv.
