Local Drafting
Will Undergo
Major Changes
Registrants Must Pass
Physical 21 Days
Before Id.ucion
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-()-Lo-
cal draft boards grappled today with
the doubly-difficult task of overhaul-
ing their Selective Service machinery
~without slowing the flow of about
600,000 men into the armed services
in January and February.
Major changes effective Tuesday
provide that:
1. No registrant shall be inducted
until he has passed a thorough phys-
ical examination by Army- Navy
doctors at least 21 days previously.
Under the old system the examina-
tion was given at induction .Pre-in-
duction physicals were ordered by
Congress.
2. Registrants 18 through 21 years
old no longer will be granted occupa-
tional deferments unless engaged in
farming, or unless a state Selective
Service Director certifies that a man
is necessary in industry.
Deferments in effect before Tues-
day will run their course but will not
be renewed. College students will
find deferment more difficult under
the new regulations.
Biggest headache for draft boards
is the vast ,change-over to pre-
induction physical examinations.
Throughout January the boards had
to furnish about 300,000 men under
the old system and at the same time
order some men to report for pre-
induction physcials in preparation
for the Feb. 1 deadline.
Latins To Talk
To Alumni Club
Two Latin American students will
speak tomorrow at the University of
Michigan Club 'Of Coldwater to fur-
ther Pan-American relations.
Salvador Itriago of Venezuela, who
is here in a special program of re-
search in Inter-American Law, and
Oscar Paloma of Guatemala, study-
ing electrical engineering, will give
short descriptions of their home
countries.
The University of Michigan Alum-
ni Clubs have been sponsoring such
talks in accordance to their policy of
arousing interest and hence under-
standing of the Latin Americas.
Towe To Conduct
Broadcast Today
Larry Towe, director of the Uni-
versity News Service, will again con-
duct the 10 minute broadcast, "Cam-
pus Chatter," at 2:45 p.m.tomorrow
over Station WKAR, Est Lansing.

row's program are Roger A. Shepard,

Chaikin, '46; and Hank Dillof, Navy.

lit. Guthe Leaves To Take
00s
Dr. Carl E. Guthe, Director of theI
University Museums and the Museums
of Anthropology, will leave the Uni-
versity tomorrow to take up his new
duties as Director of the New York
State Museum at Albany, beginning
nMarch 1.
He graduated from the Literaryj
College of the University in 1914, and
then received his doctorate in an-
thropology at Harvard.
He was associated with Phillips
Academy and the Carnegie Institu-
tion of Washington before returning
to the campus in 1942 to become As-j
sociate Director of Anthropology in
the University Museums.
excavated Ruins
"While with the Carnegie Institute
I worked at Peten, Guatemala, ex-j
cavating in the ruins of the ancient1
city of Tayasal, visited by Cortes in
the 16th century," he said.
"Under University auspices," hes
continued, "I went on a three yearI
archeological expedition to the Phil-
lipines where I made a study of the
distribution of burial places, visiting
21 of the southern provinces. While
there I gathered one of the largest
collections of Chinese ceramics ever
to be brought back from the islands."
Since the establishment of the Mu-
seum of Anthropology as a separate
unit in 1929, Dr. Guthe has been its
director. In the same year he organ-
ized the department of Anthropology
in the Literary College.
cil since 1927, Chairman of the Divi-
sion of Anthropology and Psychology
from 1938-41 and is now a member
of iits Executive Board.
He has just resigned his presidency
of the Midwest Museum Conference,
and was one of the founders of the
Society for American Archeology. He
also belongs to Sigm Xi and Phi
fKappa Phi.
"My new position as Dirc or of
the New Yrk State Mtiseum at Al-
bany offers an opportunity- to inte-
grate the Museum more closely with
the educational system of New York
and also to expand and strengthen
l its research activities. These oppor-
tunities, of course, will be influenced
by changing conditions developing
during the post-war period," he said.
It is anticipated that a new building
will be erected for the Museum in the
near future.
"Although I do not wish to leave
this campus where I have spent so
smany years, I feel that the opportun-
ity in New York is too great to ig-
nore," he said.

Edifor's note: Raymond P. Cronin,
chief of the Associated Press tlureau in
Manila, was interned at Santo Tomas
Camp for civilians in Manila from Jan-
nary, 1942, until his repatriation last
September. He served on the camp's
self-government committee and thus
was able to maintain contact with what
went on outside the tamp.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29.-(P)-The
complete story of atrocities visited up-
on disarmed and defenseless Amer-
ican and Filipino soldiers after they
surrendered to overwhelming Japan-
ese forces on bloody Bataan Penin-
sula in the Philippines may never be
assembled.
The Army - Navy announcement
quoting escaped American officers
who survived the living death tells
only part of the bitter tale.
It is impossible for me, for obvious
reasons, to state the source of my
information on the "march of death"
from Bataan after that fateful day
of surrender in April, 1942. I have
implicit faith in the trustworthiness
of my informants and can say that
some of them watched this march.
My sources estimated, that at
least 4,000 soldiers died on Bataan
tas victims of Jap brutalities--m"en
who could have been saved if given
a little help and a bit of human
consideration.
Hundreds of others died on the
grueling march under a searching
tropical sun as they were clubbed
on their way to San Fernando and
then to Camp O'Donnell.
Scores of our soldiers, having wit-
nessed Jap savagery at the Mariveles
airfield where many were beheaded,j
decided to brave shark-iinfested liMan-
ila Bay rather than give themselves
into the hands of the enemy.
They plunged into the water in a
desperate attempt to reach Correg-
idor some two miles out in the bay.
Many gained safety, only to fall
into the hands of the Japs when
the ]hock surrendered dturing May.
Others lost out to the sharks.
One band of American-Filipino
troops killed several Jap guards and
escaped to the Mangrove swamps
where they formed a guerrilla band.
Just what happened to tiem later;
we never knew, but it is a good guess
that they are not alive today.
Many of us who were held by the
Japanese in the Manila Santo Tomas
camp for civilians knew what wasC
going on out Bataan way.
The Japs inflicted unspeakableI
atrocities on the wounded and the
sick who were in field hospitals along
the peninsula.
Disregarding the condition of sol-
diers who had been disabled by
wounds or tropical diseases, such
as malaria and dysentery, the Jacsf
herded them from hospitals like
so many cattle and drove them re-
lentlessly through the moatntainous
terrain until they dropped.

rived in Ann Arbor last
week. It was the first time
he had been home since
Christmas 1942. The fur-

he, "I plan to rest and
spend this time with the

I-atnon, said, "It's great
to see Torn again; we cer-
tainly have missed him."
SHis mother said it is good
to see him again, "though
he does have so many en-
gagements." . . . Upon ar-
riving, Harmon told the
story of how he was shot
down by a Jap Zero and
was later rescued by Chi-
nese guerillas. But before
his plane was hit, he shot
down two Zeros. In his
words, "I turned into the
six Zeros behind me and
