The police originally stationed
on the deck of the ship departed
after Prof. Laski obtained from
the refugees their pledge not to
try to escape. Two members of
the British Field Security Service
- one a sergeant and the other
in civilian clothes - -- are spending
most of their time sun-bathing or
in the lobby of La Spezia's only
major hotel, bemoaning the fate
which ordered them here to keep
watch on developments, such as
the arrival and departure of Am-
erican correspondents. The ser-
geant hinted darkly that "meas-
ures might be taken" if the ship
attempted to leave. Told that the
leaders intended to notify the
press and the authorities when
they were ready to sail, he said,
"you mean when they think they
are ready."

David at this infamous spot.
"We waited to die," were the
men's words for life at O'Don-

supplemented by a niggard sub-

long and hard on special details.

Shipped to Cabanatuan, the
sergeants were on the final leg of
their trip to Japan mainland con-
centration. In the early part of
1943, they were sent to Omuta, 89
kilometers from Nagasaki. Twelve
hours of daily work in a coal
mine with rice and thin soup as
compensation was to be their fate
for the next two years and three
months.
One day the men at Omuta
watched a lone American plane
speed to Nagasaki. Unlike most
bombers that usually circle the
target as a cue to oncoming for-
mations, this ship dropped its
missile and headed back at full
speed. Suddenly the earth trem-
bled as if an earthquake had
struck. A huge white cloud climb-
ed high into the air. An atomic
bomb had just been dropped.
On August 15, the men scanned
the skies for sight of the 1,500
plane flights they were accus-
tomed to seeing. None appeared
At 2 p. m. there was a rumor

to be distributed one to every
three men. This, too, was un-
usual as the Japs had previously
pilfered the rations of butter, su-
gar, etc., and handed one out tc
every six men.
On the 18th, the camp com-
mander called a mass assembly.
Placing the guards op one side
and the prisoners on the other,
the officer said, "America is a
great country. Japan has always
tried to help you, but we have
little to offer." He then iannounced
that the war was over.
Ten days later a B-29 flew over
the camp and dropped food,
clothing, and a message of the
surrender. The PW's had already
taken over the camp and evened
the score with many of the Japs
at Omuta.
Wolf got the jump on Sabbota
in the return trip home. He met
a Chicago Daily News corres-
pondent, who told him of a plane
that was taking off for Okinawa.

traveled by aircraft carrier.
Sabbota, normally a 185-pound-
er, tipped the scales at exactly
100 pounds when he reached the
Letterman General Hospital in
San Francisco. Wolf lost 70 of
his 200 pounds while a prisoner.
He recuperated at Madigan Gen-
eral Hospital, Seattle.
Both men are now on 104-daa
furloughs. They expect to be dis-
charged next month. Sabbota In-

When Will I Get

My Refund Check?

"When will I get my refund check?" is a common and
natural question being asked these days by many Detroit
Edison custQmers. Since the first of February, refund
checks have been going out at the rate of 11,000 a day.
However, they are not being mailed according to your
name or street address, but are being sent out according
to our meter reading schedule. Thus it is entirely possible
that some of your friends may already have received their
checks, while others who live on the same street, or have
the same initial, may not have received theirs.

The only thing you have to do to assure receipt of your
refund check is to make sure that the Company has your

forwarding address if you have moved since January 1,
1944, or expect to move before June 20, 19-16. If you
have used service - at two or more locations during the
refund period, these checks will be mailed at different
times. Separate checks are issued for each address. Every
effort is being made to assure the earliest possible delivery
of all the 1,150.000 refund checks. The last group of
checks are scheduled to be mailed June 19 and should be
delivered shortly after June 20.

Cash your refund checks promptly. They become void
60 days after date of issue.
