A' q71: A, i\ 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.

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.

Men Who Escaped from Japs Tell MacArthur of Atrocities CERAMICS EXPERT: 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. Russia Loses Ground .

'MARCH OF' DEA T:H Jap"anese -uMutilate feseesie IiS .____ I-_ . __-. _ - __ _ -. .__.. i ,. t r rm ,, By RAYMOND P. CRONIN 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.
