Four Leaders Chosen
Composed of students in the Law
School, the winners of junior club ar-
guments last year, Leonard Hyman,
Alden Johnson, John Dobson, and
Richard Peters were appointed to
supervise each of the four clubs of
the Case Club.
The clubs operate under the fol-
lowing system: the 141 members of
the organization, divided according
to class among the three freshmen
clubs and one junior club, are paired
arbitrarily by the judges and grouped
in fours to argue cases within their
respective clubs; after all the cases
have been tried, each senior judge
chooses the freshman presenting the
best case in his club to compete in
a final argument with the other three
freshman winners; two senior judges
and one member of the faculty choose
four juniors to compete in a final
junior case. The eight chosen win-
ners are awarded first or second

ated from the University in 1878.

Fipmo Major Stresses Need
For Rehabilitation of Islands

Ey BETTY ANN LARSEN
"We need rehabilitation - finan-
cially, economically and cultural-
ly-," Filipino Major Fred Castro said,
in an interview yesterday.
"You can never realize how sys-
tematically the Japanse devastated
the courtry. They even destroyed
all the libraries so that only a few
books remain."
Major Castro, who with four
other Filipino officers has been
sent to the Judge Advocate Gen-
eral's School by the American gov-
ernment, made an appeal to the
United States for help in that re-
habilitation because "the Philip-
pines are a bit of America in the
Orient."
"We have fought side by side in a
common cause of defeating the en-
emy," he pointed out, "and now we
must join ourf forces again to create
a new Philippines."
"You must not think that we are
ungrateful for what you have done
already, for you can never knew how
much we appreciated your help."
"During our stay in this coun-
try," he said, "one of the things
which has impressed us especially is
the universal courtesy and warm
friendliness we have found every-
where."
"Another thing,which you may
take for granted, is the vastness
and beauty of your land."
In explaining the purpose of the
land warfare course, Major Castro
said that "we are studying this
course in order to participate with
the United States Army in the prose-
cution of Japanese war criminals."
"We are studying with a vengeance,
for there is not on Filipino family
which has not suffered torture, death
or loss of property at the hands of
the enemy."
Major Castro was captured at Ba-

taan and made the infamous Death
March to the O'Donnell prison camp.
When it was discovered that he
knew Japanese, Major Castro was
put to work as an interpretor. Later
he was forced to do many more me-
nial tasks, however, and the climax
came when he was sent to load am-
munition to use against Filipino guer-
illas.
That night he decided to escape.
And he did. It wasn't until he
learned that his family were being
held as hostages that he gave him-
self up. Japanese officers were not
benevolent and Major Castro suf-
fered many kinds of medieval tor-
tures-such as the "water cure"-
at the hands of his captors.
After several months of this
captivity and torture, Major Cas-
tro, who is a lawyer, was "paroled"
to continue his practice.
Law was not his only occupation,
because there was an underground in
the Philippines and Major Castro
was a member of that underground.
When Manila was liberated he was
one of the men who guided American
troops around barricades, boo by
traps, and mines.
He served as a staff officer in
the Military Intelligence service
before the fall of Bataan and is
also Chief of the War Crimes Di-
vision of the Philippine J.A.G.D.
While attending the University of
the Philippines-"where college life
is very similar to life on this cam-
pus"-Major Castro was editor of
the college newspaper.
Major Castro and the four other
officers, who will graduate Nov. 20
with the 25th Officer Class of the
J.A.G. school, have plans to visit New
York City and Washington before
they return to the Philippines in De-
cember.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Nov. 10-
(P-Master Sgt. Frederic Hensel, only
World War II battle casualty who lost
both legs and arms, wasn't just talk-
ing six months ago when he said he'd
"get along all right."
And now he's proving what he
said. Wearing his two new artificial
arms and hooks, the 27-year-old sol-
dier from Corwin, Ky., is happier than
a child at Christmas at being able to
feed himself, write, turn pages, shave
-every day brings something new.
Smiling broadly he drawled, "Why,
I'll be out of this man's army in six
months-I hope."
Both Hensel's legs were blown off

above the knees and his left arm
above the elbow last June when he
stepped on a mine on Okinawa. A
few days later his right hand was am-
putated.
Like all other GI amputees, Hensel
won't be released from the hospital
until he masters walking on the arti-
ficial legs he hopes to have within a
couple of months and can perform
many accomplishments with his
hooks.
He's doing pretty well with the
hooks even though he's had them less
than a month. Naturally independ-
ent, the Kentuckian wants to be as
self sufficient as possible- and that
means a minimum of help from his
pretty wife Jewell and Pfc. Isadore
Halpern, Philadelphia, who have
taken care of him since he arrived
here.
