Three American officers who escaped from the Japanese and whose sworn statements were the basis of the Army-Navy report on Japanese atrocities against prisoners in the Philippines are seen here with Gen. Douglas MacArthur at his headquarters in Australia, August 4, 1943, after their escape. Left to right, Lieut. Col. William E. Dyess; Comdr. Melvyn H. McCoy; Gen. MacArthur; and Lieut. Col. S. M. Mellnik. Dyess was killed in a plane crash recently. McCoy and Mellnik are on duty. This picture was just released by the War Depariment. A STATEMENT The following statement by Commander Melvyn H. McCoy, U. S. N., one of the survivors of Japanese terrorism now in this country, speaks for itself. Commander McCoy, who escaped from a Japanese prison camp, speaking on behalf of the men still in Japanese hands, has requested that this message be transmitted to the American people: "Jap brutality is beyond description. I would not wish any more of our boys to have the same experience. Iam sure that if those prisoners still in Jap hands could send a message to the United States they would ask that the home front back them up by buying as many War Bonds as they can during the Fourth War Loan Drive. "And I am sure if we can get a message back to them that Americans are supporting the fighting front, that their spirits would be given a needed lift, despite the brutal ireatment. “T urge all of you - those with brothers, sons, and fathers who are seeing action in the Pacific theatre - fo back them up by buying bonds so that they would have the necessary supplies to avenge our men who have suffered at the hands of the Japs.” There is no way that we who stay at home can avenge this revolting cruelty. What we can do is pathetically little. If all of us put every cent we own info War Bonds, it would still be only the humblest gesture to the boys who are doing the fighting, the suffering, the dying.
