Blond Englishwoman, Naga
Queen, Helped Fight Japs
BY PRESTON GROVER
NEW DELHI, India, Dec. 7—(JP>
—Censorshop was lifted today on
the singular story of “The Queen
of the Nagas,” a blond English
woman who scouted the Japanese
while sharing the rough lift of a
tribe of aborigines who once cul
tivated a hobby of headhunting.
She is Ursula V. Graham Bower,
30. daughter of J. G. Bower, a sub
marine officer and one of Britian’s
pioneer airmen.
About six years ago she went
into the hills with the intention of
writing a book about the Nagas
tribesmen of the India-Burma
frontier.
When war came she went scout
ing the Japanese in addition to her
literary chores.
The Nagas were helpful, partly
because they were well treated by
the British and Americans, but
mainly because they hate the Bur
ma population of the rich Irro
waddy valley, some of them pro
Japanese.
The story is that when the Japa
nese approach to within 25 miles
of the hilltop where Miss Bower
lived, she was urged to flee, but
she asked the British for rifles to
arm her Naga friends and announc
ed she was going into the bush to
find out what was happening.
She often turned up with vital
information about the location of
the enemy. She helped to organize
a screen of observation posts and
trained the Nagas to signal with
their bambo drums and send run
ners with information to Brtiish
outposts.
The peak of her service came
last spring when she helped to
scout advance movements of the
Japanese pressing through the Na
ga hills toward a railroad which
was taking American supplies to
Gen Joseph W. Stilwell and the
Chinese.
Reporters have known of her
activities for months but. none was
permitted to write about her while
she was active as a scout.
While no explan a ion was given
Vr t*'^ f"'nnosit.ion
is that the fighting has been car
i.ed ueyond toe i\aga hills deeper
into Burma. Presumably, she is
back writing her book.
