DIAPERS FOR WHITE FLAGS:

Japs Use New Surrender Ideas

YANKS POUR THROUGH BREACH IN COAST DEFENSES-American soldiers, wading ashore from
landing craft, pour through the breach in eight-foot concrete walls Germans had hoped would hamper
invaders in southern France. The wall, made of concrete and steel, was blasted by engineers who landed
first. In the foreground, an officer in the LCI returns the beachhead signals. See page one for the com-
plete story of the inland drive of the Allies along routes to the Rhone valley.

TINIAN, Marianas Islands, (De-
layed)--(YP)-Hunched behind a graya
limestone rock, two Japanese soldiers
watched an American Marine officer
drive his jeep into no-man's land'
park it and nonchalantly climb out
to look around.
The Japanese grinned. This was
their chance.
A minute later they appeared
before the officer, smiled and bowed.
Each soldier was hugging a solemn
little Japanese baby.
The babies they carried with
faked fatherly tenderness were
borrowed from Japanese civilians
hiding nearby. But their surren-
der was genuine. Tinian's defenses
already had crumbled and they
haddecided it was foolish, under
the circumstances, to insist on
dying for the emperor.
By walking out with babies in
their arms, the soldiers made certain
they would establish their peaceable
intentions and run no danger of
being shot as snipers.
The Marine officer was Capt.
Lyford Hutchins, of Boston, Mass.,
who had got so interested in studying
the terrain that he had unwittingly
driven between his lines and enemy
troops:
Before he got away from the spot
fifty genuine Japanese civilians of
all ages had surrendered, coming out
of ground holes and from behind
trees.
More than 4,000 civilians have
been interned on Tinian. On near-
by Saipan, 14,600 Japanese and
Korean civilians and natives are
being cared for. The number on
Guam already has grown into the
thousands.
Greatest problem on each island
has been in getting the civilians to
disregard Japanese military propa-
ganda and come into collection
centers.
"In truth," they were told, "the

Marines are the worst. Each Marine
recruit, before his enlistment is ac-
cepted, must prove he has murdered
either his father or his mother."
An American soldier who speaks
Japanese, Hoichi Kubo, of La-
haina, Maui, talked three Jap-
anese soldiers on Saipan into sur-
render. But to do it, he had to
walk unarmed into their cave. He
ate rice with them, discussed the
progress of the war, and in 30
minutes sold them on the idea of
giving up.
All three were privates, Kubo dis-
covered when he entered the cave.
"I felt a little better when I found
that out," the sergeant said. "At least
I outranked them."

BUY WAR BONDS & STAMPS

The difference in rank made them
more respectful, and the sergeant
was glad because during his visit the
Japanese had two hand grenades
lying handy on the floor beside them.
One Japanese, referring to the
American treatment in the camps in
Saipan, told an Army interpreter:
"It is like finding paradise in hell."

BITS OF G.I. HUMOR:

Yank, BB Shot Victim, Spanks
Signorina in Shooting Gallery

WITH THE AEF IN ITALY, (De-
layed)-(AP)-It was all a mistake.
Besides he was getting gypped, and
what's more, no red-blooded Ameri-
can soldier would take that sort of
treatment from a little slip of a
signorina anyhow.
But Pfc. Arnold "Heavy" Lindholm
still had to tell it to the G.I. judge.
Attracted by Shooting Gallery
Heavy, a 45th Division doughboy
who hails from Fairport Harbor, O.,
was visiting an Italian town when
he saw a shooting gallery operated
by the signorina in question. Giving
the eye to his combat infantryman's
badge the wily girl asked Heavy to
try his luck with the BB gun.
Expert with a carbine, Heavy was
somewhat hurt when he failed to hit
a single moving target with a full
clip of BB shot. He asked for an-
other gun, while watching other
GI's giggle for a grim and glowering
half hour. He squeezed the trigger
methodically without hitting any-
thing at all worth a prize.
Price To Play Classical
Music in Carillon Recital
Selections from the classicals,
played by Prof. Percival Price, will
be heard on the carillon recital at
7 p.m. today.
Vivaldi's "Concerto," ballet music
"Serenade" by Schubert are listed on
the program. "Prelude No. 4, 6 and
7," "Marche Funebre" and "Revo-
lutionary Etude" by Chopin will be
the concluding numbers.

Convinced that the gun and the
jane were crooked, he handed the
girl a two lira note-the equivalent
of two cents. Then he walked away
muttering to himself.
Suddenly his muttering shifted to
howls of pain.
Signorina's Temper Mounts
The little lady's Latin temper had
gone sky high at the very thought
of getting only two lira for all those
BB shot. She had grabbed up a BB
gun, rested it on the counter for
accuracy and let Heavy have it-
right in the seat of the pants.
Exhibiting cool courage in the face
of intense fire, Pfc. Lindholm storm-
ed the shooting gallery, seized the
signorina, turned her across his knee
and started spanking.
Wiles and violence having failed,
the signorina resorted to women's
oldest weapon and began weeping,
and the MP's stopped the spanking
and hauled Heavy off to the clink.
