Veterans Hear
Program of 'GI'
Bill Discussed
To an attendance that was termed
"disappointing" three American Le-
gion leaders pointed out that most
veteran aid programs aim primarily
at rehabilitation last night at the
Veterans Organization meeting held
in the Rackham Amphitheatre.
Henry Barnes, Carl Johnson and
Walter Kindschy, Ann Arbor men
prominent in both state and national
Legion activities, led the discussion
stating that veteran aid stresses "his
duty to the state and the commun-
ity.,,
Drawing upon veteran experience
arising out of the last war, the
American people have devised a wise
veteran policy, they said, and added
that "its success depends upon the
veteran as well as the community."
Because of the small turnout of
veterans on the campus for the
meeting, Laszlo Hetenyi, president of
the club, indicated that "efforts will
be doubled and redoubled to obtain
the interest of the veteran."

AMSTERDAM ISLE RAVAGED BY JAPS:
Yanks FindPeaceful Village in Ruins

AMSTERDAM ISLAND, DUTCH
NEW GUINEA-QP)-Once Amster-
dam was a peaceful native village
with neatly thatched huts stretching
in respectable rows to either side of
a pretentious Dutch Reform Church.
Then the Japanese came.
The able-bodied men were taken
to Babo to work in labor battalions.
The crippled, the women, the chil-
dren of the village were required to
scratch out a meager existence in the
wild jungles of the Vogelkop Penin-
sula.
No one knew what became of the
Dutch pastor. Presumably he was
a prisoner.
When Gen. Douglas MacArthur's
men took unopposed possession of the
island, they found the village over-
run by insects and land crabs.
Infantrymen, amphibian engineers
and bearded Seabees, exploring the
island, found the shells of hundreds
of unharvested cocoanuts, rotting
where they fell.
In a clearing in the center of the
island, overgrown with rank kunai
grass, stood the church. A white

coral path, fringed by scrubby flow-
ers, led to the mahogany steps. Its
walls were thick. A rare sight in
this land of thatch was the gleam-
ing, white plaster.
Corrugated tin, painted bright red,
roofed the structure. A steeple, whose
lines recalled the belfry of any coun-
try schoolhouse, gave it dignity and
height. An absurd tin rooster serv-
ed as a weather vane.
Inside, great beams of mahogany
overhead paralleled the stiff mahog-
any pews resting on a cement floor.
The pulpit was hewn from a single
log and stained a somber blue.
For 10 years, this white plaster
church had represented civilization,
education and religion in northwest
New Guinea. It had no counterpart
from Sorong to Hollandia. The na-
tives barrowed pride from its pres-
ence, faith from its influence.
But the Japanese came-and the
church died.
The native huts around it were
in disrepair. One hut had been
decorated with American news-

papers from Boston, New York and
Chicago. They covered both sides
of a thatch partition, separating
sleeping quarters from the hearth
and family circle.
An American soldier found a
weathered Sept. 28, 1937 issue of
the Boston Evening Globe.
Black headlines told of an auto-
mobile plunging over the Dover
Street Bridge into the Charles River.
Tucked in columns seven and eight
was an Associated Press story from
Berlin. The headline read:
Aim Is Peace
Say Hitler
And Il Duce
The second bank read:
"Crowd of 600,000 at Berlin Hear
Two Dictators Proclaim Policy."
The blast of that evil oratory had
swept over continents and oceans to
a tropical island on the back side
of the world and emptied its huts
and closed its church and desolated
its people.

WITH THE AEF IN THE MEDI-
TERRANEAN THEATRE, Aug. 13-
(Delayed) - (R) - Fifteen-year-old
"Private" Johnny Fuentes is a fight-
ing little Frenchman. He's settling
the score for his dad and wants to
help liberate his homeland.
He is a tiny, smiling, tough guy
who weighs 97 pounds, speaks six
languages and solemnly says his next
of kin is his first sergeant in the
United States Army.
The Stars and Stripes staff stum-
bled across Johnny, just as he was
coming out of the hospital after his
latest wounds had healed, and this
is the story they told of the youngest
professional soldier in Uncle Sam's
fighting forces:
Father Killed in Tunisia
Johnny is a native of Paris.His
mother died years ago. His father,
a parisian artist, was killed in the
Tunisian campaign fighting with the
Free French forces. Since he joined
the Yanks, Johnny has served in three
Breakfast To Honor
Master's Candidates
A breakfast honoring the candi-
dates for the master's degree will be
held at 9 a.m. tomorrow in the Michi-
gan League ballroom.
Candidates received their tickets
free of charge although extra ones
for friends may be purchased at the
Office of the Summer Session, Rm.
1213 in Angell Hall. Members of the
faculty may also obtain tickets for
the breakfast at the same place.

campaigns. He has earned the pur-
ple heart' with oak leaf clusters, the
goodhconduct medal, the campaign
ribbon with three bronze stars, and
the combat infantryman's star.
His salary comes from his side-
kicks, who pass the hat every payday.
And if Johnny has killed any Ger-
mans that month they pay him a
little more as reward.
Joins Yanks as Mascot
Through the intervention of the
division chaplain, Johnny joined the
Yanks originally as a mascot near
Casablanca in December, 1942.' He
promptly volunteered as an "ammu-
nition lugger for a mortar." Despite
his skinny frame, he "played around"
with a carbine in his spare time.
That playing around netted three
Germans captured near Mateur and
two others killed at Bizerte.
He went to Sicily with another di-
vision, carried ammo and hunted
Germans, but "I guess they must
have heard of me because they kept
out of my way. -
Wounded in Action Twice
He already had his purple heart
when he shipped for Anzio with his
outfit, but up on the beachhead "I
got it again. Some shrapnel hit me
in the leg." They gave him the oak
leaf cluster for that, and "sent me
around to a lot of different hospi-
tals."
"You know I speak six languages-
French, Italian, Spanish, English,
Arabic and Portugese. Everything
will be alright, if my papers only
catch up with me. They have been
following me around from one hospi-

Hit Japanese
North of Guam
PEARL HARBOR, Aug. 18.-(P)--
Pressing the air attrition campaign
against Japanese bases north of
American-held Guam, Tinian and
Saipan in the Marianas, Army Liber-
ators hit Iwo Jima in the Volcano
Islands Wednesday, Adm. Chester W.
Nimitz reported today.
Other planes peppered Nippon po-
sitions in the Marianas and Caroline
Islands groups.
Major targets at Iwo were garrison
buildings, storage dumps and airfield
installations. Several Japanese fight-
er planes were in the air at the time
of the raid but failed to press inter-
ception against Liberator guns.
American fighters strafed and
bombed gun positions and air strips
on Rota and Pagan islands, in the
Marianas.
Army bombers struck Dublon in
Truk Atoll, Caroline Islands, also on
Wednesday, shot down one of six
interceptors and damaged three oth-
ers.
Nauru Island and Mili Atoll in the
Marshalls were hit the same day.
tal to another. I'm worried because
I've heard stories about guys who
didn't get their papers back until
after the war."
Then the truck started up, and
"private" Johnny Fuentes, 97 pounds
of Free Frenchman fighting for
Uncle Sam, headed back to the war.
But there seemed to be something
else that needed to be said. Sud-
denly he thought of it:
"I hope I can get some more Ger-
mans!" he shouted.
