Sirange Story Of Ex-Sergeant
i -
Who Returned To Philippines
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —Brief cable mention
that an American ex-Air Force technical sergeant
had been seriously wounded in Hukbalahap fight
ing in the Philippines has unearthed a strange
story.
It is the tale of aGI with a brilliant war record
who may have turned Conmnie and taken to the
hills with the bandits.
The man is William Joseph Pomeroy, 35-year
old veteran from Waterloo, N. Y. What made him
apparently desert his country and join the Filipino
Communist guerrillas is something of a mystery.
He went back to the Philippines in 1847, a year
after he had been given an honorable discharge at
Camp Dix, N. J. He enrolled in the University of the
Philippines for a four-year course in journalism.
After two years he quit.
In Manila he married a Filipino girl named Celia
Mariano, said to be a native beauty.
Pomeroy issued a statement after that. “When I
came back to the Islands,” he said, “I left my par
ents and my brother in the States. I took a native
wife se I would have no divided interest.”
Together they went into the hills, the Sierra
Madre mountains and the Tanay mountains east of
Manila, which have been Huk strongholds.
Intelligence reports of the Philippine army, chas
ing the Huks, soon placed Pomeroy and his wife as
No. 12 and 13 in the Communist hierarchy.
NO PRICE ON HIS HEAD
The Philippine armry has had offers of $50,000 a
head on the top Huk leaders—Dr. Jose Lava, Luis
Tarue, Guillermo Capadocia—dead or alive.
But they never put a price on the Pomeroys.
They were believed to be active principally as
educational leaders.
They reportedly taught in Stalin university, the
Huk training school.
Captured Huks would give Filipino authorities
word of their doings from time to time. Their names
would appear in communiques of the guerrilla
fighting.
Most recent reports have had Pomeroy as leader
of an armed band.
Then at the end of January came a report that
he was seriously wounded while leading his group
to a Huk conference in central Luzon,
Pomeroy was not expected to live. If he is dead,
his story may be dead with hin. .
U. S. Army records piece out the background of
the story. He was born at Waterloo, N. Y., Novem
ber 25, 1916. He was drafted at Rochester in Octo
ber, 1942, when he was 25 years old.
He was shipped out of California for the Pacific
theater, and debarked first at Brisbane in Decem
ber, 1943. He was assigned to the Fifth Bomber
Group as an aviation and engineering mechanic.
But he had a flair for writing and he was soon
assigned to publie relations and the 10th Historical
unit. He moved up through New Guinea and to the
Philippines.
AN EXCELLENT RECORD
Sergeant Pomeroy’s record shows that he took
part in four campaigns. He won a Good Conduct
medal. In the end he had five other ribbons on his
chest:
Asiatic-Pacific Medal with four bronze stars,
American Theater medal, World War II Victory
medal, Army of Occupation medal for Japan, and
Philippine Liberation medal with two bronze stars.
Finally, he was entitled to wear the Philippine
Presidential unit citation decoration.
Pomeroy was never courtmartialed and he was
never AWOL. When he came back to the United
States in November of 1945, it was to Bolling Field,
first, then to Camp Dix for his discharge on April
11, 1946.
But a year of life as a civilian in the United
States somehow soured him and the far-off Philip
pines lured him back.
No one is more baffled by this story than Ser
geant Pomeroy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William C,
Pomeroy, who now live in Rochester, N .Y.
“It's like there was a big blind around my son,”
Mr. Pomeroy told a reporter of the Rochester
Times-Union.
“He kept things pretty much to himself,” the
father explained. “But every once in a while he'd
tell me that ‘the little people’ never get the breaks.
“He said they weren’t given a chance to be any
thing but poor. I didn’t agree with him.”
One day late in 1947, young Bill Pomeroy told
his family he was going back to the Philippines. He
packed a few things in a bag, put on his hat and
walked out of the house.
“I keep hoping he’s on some crazy adventure,”
says his Dad, “trying to get material for a book.”
I think the prospects for peace are solid in 1952,
~—Winston Churchill.
We have no intention of walking away . . . and
leaving the South Koreans {o your tender mercies.
—Major General Howard Turner, UN delegate to
truce talks.
Blood Contributions
ood Contrib Of
ROTC Units Inspiring
Congratulations and an expression of great ap
preciation are in order for the students in the Army
and Air Force ROTC Units at the Univeristy for the
remarkable record they made in donating 656 pints |
of their blood to the Red Cross Mobile Blood Bank
on its recent visit here,
During the two-day stay here, the Blood Bank
received 350 pints the first day and 306 on the sec
ond. Almost all of this blood was received from
ROTC students.
Colonel Barrington Flanigen, U. S. Army, retired,
chairman of the Athens Red Cross Chapter, in com=
menting on the contributions, said these quantities
more than double any previous day’s take in Ath
ens and have not been exceeded by much, if at all,
in the entire Atlanta Region. Percentage-wise, the
chairman said, these 656 pints were received from
a total enrollment of about 1,200 men, so that}
roughly 50 percent of those solicited gave blood.‘
That is a renrarkable record.
In addition to wvoicing his appreciation to the
donors, Chairman Flanigen said that the visit was
sponsored by the Military Units through the co
operation of Colonel W. C. Burt, USA, and Colonel
L. G. Duggar, USAF, and said special thanks are '
due Major M. S. Bell, Infantry, USA, who con- |
ceived the idea and enthusiastically went about the |
business of making it a success. He was ably assist
ed by the enlisted men of the Units.
In the past the visits of the Blood Bank here
have not been overly successful, generally speak=-
ing. It is hoped, and believed, that this example by
the young men of the ROTC Units at the Univer
sity will serve as an inspiration to the rest of the
citizens to give support in every possible way to the
men who are fighting our hattles for us. ‘

Bevan Has A Poor Grasp
Of Realities World Must Face
Perhaps in the interim caused by the death of
King George VI Britain’s left-wing Laborites, led
by Aneurin Bevan, will indulge in some sober
thoughts about Anglo-American relations.
Bevan's first thoughts, voiced in the first phase
of the debate in Parliament on Prime Minister
Churchill’s visit to the United States, were strongly
anti-American.
As usual, he talked as if this nation were the one
to be feared and the Russian bear were as meek as a
kitten.
His apparent terror at the possibility Churchill
nright have committed Britain to a stern course of
cooperative action with the U. S. in the Orient in
event the truce talks fail is a demonstration which
reflects either gross ignorance or lack of respon
sibility.
How many times does it have to be said that the
United States is as interested as any nation in a
satisfactory Korean settlement?
After all, which country is it that has suffered
100,000 casualties in Korea? Certainly not Britain,
One might be tempted to suggest that Bevan visit
this side of the Atlantic to learn a few raw facts.
But there’s no proof that would help.
A man with his mind made up does not look for
facts that run counter to his corclusions.,
Clement Attlee, former Labor prime minister,
came over here once to talk things over with Presi
dent Truman.
He had a chance to see and hear Americans, to
discover what they really think.
But today, long months after his return home,
even he believes there is a “war party” in this
country which would like to broaden the conflict in
Asia and “have it out” with the Communists.
Fortunately, Attlee’s moderate spirit still controls
the Labor Party. But Bevan, who appears bent on
elevating fantasy and irrationality into the realm
of science, is getting stronger.
Soon he may be powerful enough to seize the
party’s-reins.
From the standpoint of the solidarity of the free
nations, it would be almost as much a calamity to
have a Bevan-controlled Labor Party conre back to
power in Britain as to have a DeGaulle govern
ment in France.
Neither man seems to have any grasp of world
realities.
Churchill, on the other hand, understands the
value of a strong Anglo-American bonds as a force
for peace and order. His reaffirmation of that link
is, according to the best information, the only real
commitment he made while in Washington.
That he must play this down and instead stress
repeatedly that he made no specific pledges to join
the U, S. in a possibly enlarged Korean war is a
measure of Bevan's low stature as a statesnran.
If you would believe Bevan, a promise to stand
firm with your friends against aggression is virtu
ally a crime against the state.
He seeks to humiliate and convict Churchill for
advocating a policy that is the very cornerstone of
free men's secuirty.
The great wonder is that fools like Bevan last so
long and command as much attention on the politi
cal scene, Possibly they would not if the confusion
and chaos abroad in the world did not create fears
for them to play on.
All we can do is hope that men of this kind do
not prevail in the seats of power.
I haven’t changed my mind basically abowt my
philosophy, but I don’t have the sense of simplicity
that I used to have.—Philusopher George Santanya

LANDMARK DOOMED-—New York's historic Hotel Brevoort on
lower Fifth Avenue, which will soon be torn down. The small
building at the left, once the home of Mark Twain, will also be
razed to clear the b lock for apartments.
Greenwich Village Will Lose
lts Historic Hotel Brevoort
By DAVID G. BAREUTHER
AP Real Estate Editor
NEW YORK — Many famous
ghosts are about to be evicted in
New York’s old Greenwich Village.
The historic Hotel Brevoort, for
more than a century gathering
place of international celebrities,
will soon be torn down. Along
with it will go Mark Twain’s for
mer home and several adjoining
old houses to, make way for a lage
luxury-type apartment building in
lower Fifth Avenue near the
Washington Arch.
The Brevoort’s picturesque side
walk case has been a familiar land
mark to tourists who for years role
the upper decks of Fifth Avenue’s
buses and lately have been riding
under the glass tops of rubber
neck buses.
Although the building has been
closed as a hotel since 1948, be
cause 'of the fire laws, its ball
room, restaurant and sidewalk
case have remained in operation.
The upper stories have been re
served for ghosts—of which the
Brevoort seems to have had a
social lion’s share.
Presidents Registered There
For generations this hotel en
joyed the reputation of being one
place in New York where a Broad
way -producer could recurit a com=
plete cast for a play-where a pub
lisher could enlist a staff for a
newspaper or magazine at almost
| any time.
} Opened in 1845 as one of the
finest hostelries in old New York,
the Brevoort kept a register that
reads like a “Who'’s Who” of the
warld.
Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and
Arthur signed in as guests. Emma,
the dowager queen of the Sand
wich Islands — now known as
Hawaii — inscribed her name in
that fabulous book. Jerome Bona
parte, the Marquess of Queens
bury, the Duke of Marlborough,
the Earl of Lonsdale, Prince Geor
ge of Greece were among others
who left their autographs.
The Brevoort was always noted
for its cuisine. Early im the 20th
Century, Raymond Orteig, popular
host and wit, took over the pro
prietorship an introduced authen
tic French cooking with imported
chefs.
Orteig was the man who in 1919
set up a $25,000 prize for the first
’non-stop flight from New York to
‘his beloved Paris. That was the
prize collected just 25 years ago
by Charles A. Lindbergh.
He Attracted the Famous
Orteig popularized the Brevoort
as a meeting place for artists, act
ors, writers and thinkers of the
new 20th Century. His basement
dining room attracted Eugene O’-
Neill in his fledgling days, Isadroa
‘Duncan, Theodore Dreiser, Lin
coln Steffens, Edna St. Vincent
Millay, Jo Davidson, John Sloan,
Mabel Dodge, John Reed, Sinclair
Lewis and many others who left
their mark on the era.
One of the biggest social affairs
remembered was a dinner party
given by Annie Oakley, the crack
shot circus performer, whose name
is prepetuated in all free tickets
marked by their three bullet holes.
Just north of the Brevoort, the
old Mark Twain home is one of 10
smaller buildings which will be
razed for the new project. This
was where Samuel Clemens lived
from 1904 to 1908 and where he
completed his book “Adam’s
Diary.” The house had been built
about 110 years ago by James Ren
wick, whose friend Washington
Irving often visited there. |
Although this house was con- |
verted into apartments in 1925, a
bronze tablet, unvelied sby the
Greenwick Village Historical Soci
ety, commemorates its tenancy by
Irving and Twain.
An Unusual Realty Deal
The structure to take the place
of the Brevoort and Mark Twain
house will be erected by Sam Min
skoff & Sons, Inc., one of the larg
est apartment building organiza
tions in New York. The firm has
built more than $l5O million worth [
of luxury apartments and hotels in .

Church Thief
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14—(AP).
“Thou shalt not steal,” says the
eighth commandment, and the
Rev. Edward F. Rice was only try
ing to enforce it when he hauled
out his 12-gauge shotgun.
Rice, pastor of the Ascension
Lutheran Church, grabbed the
gun when he heard a noise in the
church early Wednesday. He told
*his wife to call police and went
outside to wait. ¢
When a man came out Rice kept
him covered until officers arrived.
Later they booked Charles H.
Rolf on suspicion of burglary.
Wasn’t Rice taking a chance on
breaking the ¥ xth commandment,
“thou shalt not kill?”
No, sir! the gun wasn’t loaded.
VETERANS RETURNED
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15 —
(AP) — The Naval transport Gen.
M. C. Meigs arrived Thursday with
4,472 Army Veterans from Korea.
Also due was the troopship G.
M. Randall with an undisclosed
number of seabees.
REDS TRY YAK MEAT
HONG KONG — (AP) — The
Chinese Communists are trying
out yak meat on the Shanghai
market.
The Shanghai News, a Commu
nist newspaper said the flesh of
the long-haired wild ox was
“more palatable than beef.” The
paper also said that use of yak
meat as a substitute for beef
would help to conserve the use of
water buffalo and oxen for farm
work,
25 years.
An odd feature about the deal
is that the property has not been
sold, but leased for 105 years. This
is because if froms part of the
old farm of Robert Richard Ran
dall, a retired sea captain, who
stipulated in his will in 1801 that
the land would never be sold.
~ Randall left his farm, which ori
ginally had been the Henry Brevo
ort farm, for the establishment of
‘Saliors’ Sung Harbor. He wanted
‘a home for “aged, decrepit and
worn-out sailors” to be erected
‘“upon some eligible part” of his
farm.
But soon after Randall died, the
trustees of his estate became con
vinced that the town of New York
would grow northward on Manhat
tan Island and would require
streets to be cut through the farm.
They obtained permission from the
state legislature to locate the sail
ors’ home on Staten Island over
looking New York Bay, and to
use the income from Randall’s
farm to support the institution. ‘
Sailors’ Snug Harbor still owns
and administers 15 acres of valua
ble property in the heart of New
York bordering Washington Squ
are. Some has been leased to New
York University and other pracels
for new apartment projects.
A driver violation of traffic law
is an important factor in morel
than 759% of the accidents taking
place in Georgia each year.
Doesn’t that make it seem logical
that if drivers obeyed traffic laws,
we would have fewer accidents?
Think it over. Next time you get
behind the wheel, drive accordingl
to the highway rules.

ATLANTA, Feb. 15 — (A®)
Georgia’s Republican Ceniral
iCommittee will meet here Saty
day to schedule county and district
coventions.
The meeting may show whether
the State’s Republicans will split
into factions that will bring an
other contest at the National con
:ention over the seating of delega
€es.
There are 90 members on the
Central Committee.
State Chairman Roscoe Tucket
of Dawsonville, has said there
would be no intra-party war and
no clash eof rival Georgia deleg
ations at the GOP covention this
year.
Roy Foster of Wadley, head of a
faction that opposed the Tucker
forces in 1944, is a member of the
Central Committee. He has indi
cated he wants to compromise old
differences and avoid a convention
contest.
However, Roscoe Pickett, ir,
- Atlanta attorney and vice-chair
’ man of a group that claims Foster
is the State Party Chairman, indi
cated a contest would develop if
his group is not recognized as the
Georgia organization.
| He said he had been advised
in Washington GOP organization
and the state’s convention dele
gates was ‘“unresolved.”
' W. Branaby Hill, state party
‘secretary, made public a telegram
from Albert B. Hermann, directo
of the Republican National Com
‘mittee, which he said discrediis
Pickett’s claim.
The Telegram said GOP party
chairman Guy Gabrielson had
made no statement to Pickett or
anyone else about Georgia dele
gates and that Gabrielson had
never met Pickett. -
Hermann said the party’s official
call for delegates was sent to Har
ry Sommers, Atlanta, GOP Nation

both support Tucker and refuse 10
