Othâ€" ers fought valiantly against overâ€" whelming odds. y Soap seems to be an important item. ‘The average soldier of Japan appears to use more soap than the American soldier, Wheeler reports. Good and Bad Fighters s Describing the Jap soldier, Wheeler said the Tokyo toughies are smaller than the Americans, just as brave, without as much initiative, and using weapons as good if not better than the American soldiers. He‘s a superstitious person, this Jap soldier. .He carriecs small flags and good luck charms with him at all ‘times. _ Small, silk, perfumed dolls were found on dead Japs. And in their kits, lipsticks, powders, and perfumes are carried. Wheeler said the Japs knew they were whipped at Attu before the fighting began. A letter, written by a Jap major to his wife and taken from him after he had been killed, began like this: "‘This is the last letter I shall ever write you. Thé Americans have landed." Good Weapons f But there is a difference, the corâ€" respondent pointed out. And that difference is important in understandâ€" ing the Jap soldier. According to newsman Wheeler, the Jap will fight hard, be whipped, walk among his dead, laugh, be capâ€" tured, and plan on having a position in San Francisco after the war! Like the American soldier, the Jap hates war, misses his kinfolk, writes lots of letters. The other ‘day this soldier heard an interesting talk and thought you Highland Parkers would like to hear about it. And he told us that the average Jap soldier is peculiarly like the average American soldier in his wishes, desires, feelingy and emoâ€" tions. Work in San Francisco # Smli;l-to The H. P. Press.

A Jap civilian, stripped of his pants, was marched to American headquarters, losing face all the way. When questioned by Army intelliâ€" gence officers, he rationalized and said it was all right to be taken captive because after the war. he could return and tell his people how brave their fighters had been. A young, frightened Jap soldier one day came out of a fox hole holdâ€" ing a white handkerchief. _ After giving himself up he began to laugh. Four hundred of his fellow soldiers were lying dead all around him. He laughed, he said, because he was "theoretically dead! A Pantâ€"less Jap ~ A Jap cook was taken prisoner. Asked why he was captured, he reâ€" plied: "I remembered I left my kitchen dirty, and I went back to clean it up." The commanding officer of the Jap Attu forces issued an order of the day which stated that woundeg solâ€" diers would take weapons and fight. And if badly wounded and unable to fight, soldiers would either kill themâ€" selves or have the doctors kill them. Merciless fighters, some of these Japs. They thought nothing of bayâ€" oneting Yanks in sleeping bags, or attacking the medics, killing doctors, patients, and chaplains. _ Although they were not ordered to kill themâ€" selves, many did. The suicidal process was gruesome, Wheeler reports. â€"Japs, knowing they would be captured, would take hand grenades, pull the firing pin, hit them against their helmets, hug them to their beart, and wait until the grenade exploded. ‘Three weeks of constant fighting in rainy, foggy weather knocked out just about all the Japs on Attu. Those wha.were not killed were taken captive. In general, those taken were happy, haughty, extremely conâ€" fident, believing their race would win the war. Pvt.
