RECOVERY TRENDS
NOTED IN MARKET
By VICTOR EUBANK
NEW YORK, March 10.—(^*)—
The stock market today finished a
sharply reactionary week with re
covery tendencies appearing in
virtually all-departments.
Stiffening prices ruled at the
opening and, at the best, gains
of fractions to 2 points were wide
spread. Dealings were unimpres
sive and, at the close, top marks
were reduced in a number ol
cases.
Some customers reinstated ac
counts on the belief the recent
slump had resulted in an oversold
situation calling for at least a
technical rebound. Earnings and
dividends were helpful. Reconver
sion apprehension still was stressed
by the good war news and a pos
sible anti-speculation drive b>
Washington remained as a caution
ary factor.
The Associated Press 60-stoch
composite was up .4 of a point at
60.7 but on the week showed a net
drop of 1.3 points. Of 838 issues reg
istering, 516 were up against 322
down or unchanged. Transfers oi
750,000 shares compared with 680,
000 a week ago.
Prominent gainers in the two
hour stretch included International
Telephone, liveliest mover, at a
1944-45 peak; U. S. steel, Bethel
hem, Chrysler, Studebaker, Santa
Fe, Southern Railway, Western Un
ion “A,” U. S. Rubber, Sears Roe
buck, Douglas Aircraft, Westing
house, Union Carbide, U. S. Gyp
sum, General Electric, Allied
Chemical and American Water
Works.
Ahead in the curb were Cities
Service, Electric Bond and Share,
Raytheon and United Light pre
ferred. Turnover here was 190,000
shares versus 250,000 last Saturday."
Bonds improved with stocks. At
Chicago wheat was off 1-8 to 70 1-2
of a cent a bushel. Cotton was un
changed to 20 cents a bale lower.
On the big board shares did wed
Monday and on Tuesday made a
new average high since September
4, 1937 although volume was re
stricted. Low-priced issues retired
to the background in the wake of
new margin regulations affection
these former spriiSers and higher
grade pivotals attracted the princi
pal bidding.

CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO, March 10. — (£>) —
Grain markets started on the off
side today but rallied during the
first half hour and finished steady
to firm. Wheat recovered more
than a penny after the early dip
and rye closed with gains ranging
to three-quarters of a cent.
Reports that more freight cars
for the shipment of grain would
be made available immediately
led to the early sell-off in corn
and the break influenced other
markts. No Improvement in the
transportation tie-up was notice
able, however, and eash prices
remained at ceilings.
Short covered on the early dip
and after the rally the trade grew
dull as operators retired to the
sidelines to await week-end devel
opment in the European war.

MEAT SCARCITY
HITS NEW LOW
CHICAGO, March 10.— (UP) —
Spokesmen for the meat industry :
said today the nation is experienc
ing the worst meat shortage of the
war.
Members of the American meat
institute said Sunday dinner tables
this week-end would hold many
meat substitutes and that the
week’s supplies would be 40 par
cent less than those of 1944.
John J. Tunzer, secretary of the
joint council of retail meat deal
ers, said in Chicago that the ma
jority of the city's 6,500 meat mar
kets had not meat stocks for sale. „
He predicted that many would close
over the week-end and others go on
three or four day schedules this
week. _ ">
Institute spokesmen listed as rea
sons for the shortage:
1. Lowest February storage
stocks in history.
2. A dropoff in production, es
pecially in pork.
3. Increased demands of military
and lend-lease. \
4. Widespread black market Op
erations.
"“'The picture is bad and we don't
expect it to get any better during V
the second quarter—After, May and
June,” they reported. Acute short
ages were expected in areas far
from meat supply shortages, par- „
ticularly in New York City which
depends entirely on interstate or
outstate shipments.
Tunzer described the situation as
the ‘‘worst I have seen in 28 years
of experience,” and predicted no
improvement before next fall.

Marine Tells How Japs
Burned Prisoners Alive
■ • I!.
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 10.—<U.R)—
The wounded American begged the
Japs to shoot him. Instead, they
poured gasoline on his hands and
feet, and lit it .
That was a mere detail. In all,
140 U. S. prisoners of war were
burned alive or shot down trying
to keep from being burned alive.
It happened less than three
months ago, on December 14. The
place, was the Puerto Princesa pris
on camp cn Palawan island.
The Japanese excuse: They
didn’t want the ' Americans to be
liberated by U. S. troops return
ing to the Philippines.
The story was told here by Ma
rine 1st Li. Robert E. Rivenbark
>f Savannah, Ga., who got it from
three survivors, twc Marines and a
sailor. Only’ six other Americans
are believed to have got away from
the camp.
■ The camp commandant had re
ceived a report that an American
invasion convoy was heading for
Palawan. Actually, it was heading
for Mindoro; Palawan was not in
vaded until weeks later. When U.
3. troops captured Puerto Prin
cesa on February 28, they saw the
flame-blackened evidence of what
cad happened.
The men who told their story to
Rivenbark were Marine Sgt. Doug
as W. Bogue, 27, of Omaha, Neb..
;on of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin E. Bogue
cf 526 South Union Avenue Los An
gles; Marine Cpl. Glenn W. Mc
Dole, 24, son of Mrs. Dessa B.
McDole of 1515 11th St., Des Moines
fa., and Navy Chief radioman
Fern J. Barta,’30, brother >f Rich
ard Reid Barta, 312 South Fourty
St., Salt Lake City, and foster ton
of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Shepard ;
of 305 south 39th St., San Diego.
At noon on December 14, Guards
with machine guns stopped t h •
Americans at their work on Jap
air strip and herded them Into .
three 50 - man raid shelters.
Without warning, other Japs be
gan throwing buckets of gasoline
and torches into the shelter*. In
the screaming melee which follow
ed, Bogue, McDole, and Barta got
away.
Bogue saw "several burning
Americans rush the Japs and fight
them hand to hand.” Prisoners who
got to the beach or the brush
were hunted out by Jap patrols
carrying guns, gasoline, and
torches.
One American gave up. This is
OneAmerican gave up. This ia
the way he did it, according to
McDole:
‘‘He raised up and said, ‘AS
right you Jap B-'s Here I am
and don’t miss me.’ ”
The Japs didn’t miss. Afterward,
they burned his body.
The three survivors — now at
home on furlough—got away by
swimming the bay. But while Me
Dole was still holed up in a garage
dump, he saw the Japs catch up
with another American.
“Down the beach,” he said, *‘I ■
saw six Japs jabbing a bleeding,
mud-covered American with their
bayonets.
“Another Jap ran up with a buck
et and a torch. The American
begged to be shot and not burnt.
“They poured gas on his hand*
and feet and lit 1L:
