MacArthur __ at (Continued from Page One) ^ Manchuria, after his release from a long, sclent internment, was par t.cularly anxious to face again the Japanese commanders who accept ed with pompous arrogance the capitulation of Wainwright’s he roic band on Corregidor. Particularly he hoped to see at Japan’s capitulation the arrogant one-time commander-in-chief of Japanese forces in the Philippines, Gen. Masaharu Homma. “Gen. Wainwright told me he hoped that Gen. Homma, to whom he surrendered at Correg dor, is present when the Japanese sign the surrender,” said Col. James H. S. Rasmussen, of Phoebus, Va., pilot of the plane which brought Wain wright from Mukden. Much-needed rest was the tiling that Wainwright was finding hard est to sandwich into a busy round of activities since his arrival here. In an impressive ceremony, he was decorated today with the Dis tinguished Service Cross for ex traordinary heroism in Northern Luzon in the Philippines. More than 50 American officers watched as Lt. Gen. , Albert C. Wedemeyer, commander of U. S: forces in China, pinned the decoration on Wainwrglit. It gives me a great deal ol pleasure and I am proud to pre sent this medal which unquestion ably . has been deserved a long time,” Wedemeyer said. Wainwright, then a Major-Gen eraJ, was cited as commander of Northern Luzon forces for “repeat edly visiting points of the most severe conflict throughout his com mand, displaying outstanding cour age and indifference to danger.” “By his presence and soldierly bearing during severe enemy bombardment and strafing attacks by infantry and tanks he stimu lated and inspired the troops of his command,” the citation said. The award covered the period from Dec. 21, 1941 to Jan. 5, 1942. The heavy lines on Wainwright’s face wrinkled into a half-smile when Gen. Wedemeyer pinned the medal next to two rows of other decorations on the General’s uni form. The men shook hands, Wain wright snapped his thinned should ers to attention and resumed the poker-faced expression he main tained during most of the cere mony. „ Wedemeyer also presented the Distinguished Service Cross to Maj. Gen. Albert M. Jones, of San Francisco and Major General George F. Moore of Texas, who were in the group of officers and enlisted men who were rescued with Wainwright. T—Sgt. Hubert Carroll (of Paris, Texas,) another of the group, was awarded the Silver Star. Chiang Kai-shek entertained Wainwright in his presidential vil la on Chungking's outskirts. In a speech the Chinese leader said Wainwright's name would shine on the pages of Chinese as well as American history. Ullicr gUCMb 1UUUUCU liberated with Wainwright, high of ficers of the Generalissimo’s staff and a contingent from headquar ters of th.: United States Forces ,n China, including Wedemeyer and Lt. Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, U. S. Air Forces commander. Chiang said that Gen. Wain wright's “defense of Bataan will be remembered as one of the bravest military exploits of all time.” He paid high tribute to the spirit which Wainwright and his men showed “during those dark and seemingly hopeless days when Japanese forces were sweeping for ward everywhere.” An American officer now in Chungking told how Wainwright, who assumed command in the Philippines when MacArthur was ordered to leave to become Su preme Commander in .the South west Pacific, reacted to the sec ond Japanese order to surrender Bataan. The officer who asked that his name not be used, quoted Wain wright as having said. “I’ve been to general staff school and the War College, but they never taught me what to do if I was called upon to surrender. I guess we shall have to continue fighting.” Everywhere that Wainwright went in Chungking there were of ficers and men who wanted to shake his hand and congratulate him on his brilliant stand at Ba taan and Corregidor, which won sorely-needed American time. He greeted all who approached him, and the strain, of this was almost imperceptible because of the great uplift he obviously received from being among friends again.

All reports indicated this drama tic, unique occupation, for which there was no precedent in history, was proceeding with almost mira culous smoothness. But the American forces took no chances. Men of the Giant Third Fleet, sprawled over Sagami Bay South of the occupation zone and in Tokyo Bay, were at battle stations. Hundreds of Navy planes zoom ed over troops, Marines and sailors like hawks turned policemen in stead of marauders. The invasion forces were in full combat equipment. Within a few minutes of the land ings here, Swing established his headquarters beside thq air strip, and his men were putting guards around the areq,. At Yokosuka, the Marines and bluejackets with weapons at the ready moved in from the docks to take over the sprawling Navy yard.

He also lauded the U. S. Navy Reserve officers and enlisted men.

It also jointed to the need for improved jatent protection and for a tax pro gram which would remove “pres snt uncertainties” about deductabi ity of research expenditures. It added that these were important factors.in the growth of industrial research. "Thousands of familiar prewar achievements will be obsolete,” Nam said, in pointing out that ndw developments will contribute to post-war prosperity. It predicted that thousands of new jobs in existing industries will be provid ed because customers will want new improved automobiles, radios and similar products, even though they have former models which are stull useful. Nam said developments, which are expected to produce new goods and jobs include: aviation type gasoline for automobiles; facotry made hoses; moth resistant an-J non-shrinkable wool fabrics,; tran sparent window screens which wii roll up like a shade; w-indows nf polarized glass through which the flow of light can be regulated by turning a button, and new drugs A such as penicillin.
