Squires clung to a rope thrown to the life boat in which he, the ship a master and nine other crewmen floated on rough seat until the other ten were safe on a British rescue craft after the torpedoing. Then he lapsed into unconsciousness and was swept away. Investment in Vic tory Bonds to support living heroes is a testimonial, too, to such men. • “■ '' V. S. T*****ry Dtpartmtni ■.I .

I am sending you a few things, we were told, a'nct then the facts on them. You may publish if you desire to do so. We were told: 1. There will be no empty berths returning to the U. S. (War Department). 2. We need only 200,000 men for occupation. (MacArthur). 3. No men will be held after they become eligible. (W. D.) 4.

Ships leave Manila partly empty. (D. P.) 3. ‘1 didn’t know men overseas had stopped accumulating points.” (Secretary of War). 4. Secretary of War Patterson on Guam said he didn't know two-year men were to become eligible in March, 1946. 5. Discharges cut in half: A man may be kept in the Pacific three months after he becomes eligible. (Lt. General Collins). This is, the story: The army is up to its old tricks; believing public opinion sufficiently pla- j cated by discharges to date. The! army hopes it can fall back on I such double talk as “But men are not yet eligible.” The army has' intentionally slowed down dis-!
