WAR PRISONER OF JAPS RETURNS

RUSSIA-Topic of Lecture Jan. 13

I.

l I

LT. ALOYS SUTTMAN AND BROTHER TOM PRICE had many things to talk about when AI visited the university, after being held a prisoner of war of the Japs for 40 months. Brother Tom and AI are first cousins, so there is a real personal interest.

Lt. Aloys Suttman, '41, who was released from a Jap prison camp recently, addressed a meeting of the student body at the university. He related many of his experiences while a prisoner of war. The following excerpts are taken from a letter received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clem J. .Suttman, and is an excellent example of a man's feelings when drawn clo er to God. U.S.S. Tryon In the Pacific Dear Mother and Dad : Throughout the last three years and five months as a prisoner of war, I have had many experiences, som e interesting, thrilling, fascinating, and amusing ; others, horrible, annoying, dangerous, and demoralizing. How I made it through such an ordeal- there are several answer .

First, you and I h ave our H eavenly F ather to thank for having spared this son of yours to see you again. Life is sweet and he saw fit that I retain it.

There is another answer and it pertains to you. This imprisonment was both a physical and mental trial. Tho e boys who lacked certain

prime requiSites in their physical and mental makeup are not here today; and of these there are many.

The fine, h ealthy body which I received from you withstood the test.

Only once did it come near failing, but then my spiritual outlook pulled me through. The fine Christianhome training that you gave me is what influenced my mental outlook.

When times were the blackest, I drew on my spiritual strength and fortitude. There are several times when I was so n ear to despair; then I would recollect my thoughts and say: "Aloys, your mother and dad a re depending upon you to pull through." I would pray a H ail Mary, and the old obstacles of despair would fade away. You can't realize how much that childhood training h elped; always would I fall back on some prime rule you taught me. F aith! That's the answer. Faith in our F a th er tha t H e would not fail me. F aith in my body that it would not fail. Faith in my spiritual outlook that it. would not waver.

Let me assure you that I h ave tried to follow your teachings. While in action I gave my all to do my duty ; I was rewarded with a promotion in rank. During my life in prison I obeyed my superiors, and did my best to help my sick and

The third in the series of the University Lecture will be presented on Sunday, J a nua ry 13, 1946, at 8:15 p.m., in the ballroom of the Biltmore Hotel. William H enry Chamberlin, di stinguished and prominent authority on Ru sia, is one of the best informed travelers and journalists capable of di cussing the topic, " Russia Today and Tomorrow."

Mr. Chamberlin was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1897, and studied at the Penn Charter School and H averford College. Hi journalistic experience has included work on the Publi c Ledger and the Press in Philadelphia. On the New York Tribune under H eywood Broun, Chamberlin's enthusiasm for Communism led him to Russia where he was quickly disillusioned.

During a period of twelve years Mr. Chamberlin h as studied every phase of g-rowth and development of Ru sia. H e h as journeyed from one end of the Soviet Union to the other, explored th e Caucasus, and traveled to Chinese Turkestan for the opening of the Turkestan-Siberian Railway.

He has written extensively on the Communist revolutions and the development of Communism in Russia, and has served as foreign correspondent for everal nationally famous publications. He is the author of "Russia's Iron Age," "Soviet Russia," "Japan Over Asia," and "The Russian Revolution, 1917-1921."

Mr. Chamberlin's capacity for analyzing world conditions and especially the extent of his knowl edge of the Ru ian situation is guarantee of an intere ting and informa tive discus ion from him . dying fellow pri oner . I h ave tried to do nothing that you would be a harned of.

How much I have ch anged I do not know; you will h ave to be the judge. I am sure I have matured in many ways, but I h ave not grown to the stage where I no longer feel like one of your children. I'm still your happy - go - lucky, towheaded boy. M y love for you both has deepened, as one who realized that h e h as th e best mother a nd dad on earth. Words are too few and too incapable of expressing my feeling of gratitude for you.

God's bles ing on you both and all.

Your loving son, Aloys.

A TRIBUTE TO U. D. GOLD STARS Again the college year is on its way And new life surges through these stately h alls And down the time-worn pa ths, just as of old.

These faces, too, a re young, their smile and glance As carefree, debonair, and full of wistfu l dreams Of all the magic years th a t li e ahead As yours were, when you gai ly walked our ways So short a time ago.

But you have toiled down other roads since th enCorregidor, T arawa, and St. Lo, Bataan, Tunisia, Leyte, Gua m, a nd I wo; And somewhere now you re t, life's journey o'er, Below the surging waves of some fa r shore; Cradl ed, it may be, in your native land ; Or 'neath a wh ite cross on some distant tra nd.

Where'er you lie, we shall remember you.

Your young, undying spirit shall live on.

And though unseen, you' ll walk again with u , We'll .meet you in the halls where once you sat; Along the campus walks where yesterday Y ~u whistled, laughed, and sang so Joyously; There in the chapel where you knelt in prayer; Or in the stadium where once you played To cheering throngs with the same grit a nd zest As when you fought and poured out life's red win e At Anzio, Cassino, and Bastogne At Okinawa, ormandy, Cologn~.
