"The Church without a Name," by Kathy Lewis 1990 & 2004; out of print - Life Magazine cover
[LIFE Magazine 1945, "Santo Tomás Is Delivered" by Carl Mydans, p 25–29] Several Workers were among those who were interned by the Japanese for over 3 years during WWII. They were liberated in March 1945 (Pages 1-5 follow) - Life Mag page 1
[LIFE Magazine 1945, "Santo Tomás Is Delivered" by Carl Mydans, p 25–31] Caption below photo "February was a month of new battles for U.S. forces. The biggest battle was being fought on Ger- many's Western Front, where the Allies began a new winter offensive last week. The sharpest was being 'carried to the Japanese on the tiny island of Iwo, only 675 miles from Tokyo). The war passed great emotional milestones in February too. Manila was taken and its starving U.S. prisoners were rescued. In Manila the emotion ran highest at the place where the greatest number of imprisoned Americans were kept. This was Santo Tomas. When the Americans first reached Santo Tomas on the night of Feb.3, it was quiet and dark in the camp. There were a few scattered shots from the Japanese until tanks broke through the wooden fence. A few minutes later one of the internees appeared and said, "I'll lead you in." Among the first men into the camp was LIFE Photographer Carl Mydans. When Mydans walked into the main building, where he and his wife had spent the beginning of their internment three years ago, he was greeted by a hysterical crowd. The 3,700 Americans who had spent three years in Santo Tomas were finally delivered. The men who liberated Santo Tomas had sighted on their objective from 60 miles away. Six days before the main U.S. forces entered Manila, Brig. General William C. Chase of thee 1st Cavalry Division picked a mechanized squadron of 700 men to crash through the university grounds. Charging down the roads and carabao paths, the squadron brushed through most Japanese positions on the way. When it encountered heavy Japanese fire the men dismounted and worked with tanks to push through. Wherever the column stopped, ecstatic Filipinos came out with flowers and eggs for the soldiers. In the evening of the third day, the Americans broke into Santo Tomas." - Life Magazine page 2
[LIFE Magazine 1945, "Santo Tomás Is Delivered" by Carl Mydans, p 25–29] (Caption below Top Photo) "American hostages line the windows of Santo Tomas Education Building on the morning after U.S. troops entered the university. Hiding behind the window sills on the floor below are Colonel Hayashi's 65 men. Lieut. Colonel Charles E. Brady went into the building to talk with the Japanese. Hayashi fingered his pistols menacingly but agreed to come out with his men." ___________ (Caption in middle of page) "A strange episode of war followed the U.S. entry into Santo Tomas. When the U.S. tanks first burst in, some of the Japanese in the camp were captured. But 65 of them, commanded by a correct little Japanese lieut. colonel named Hayashi, retreated into the university's Education Building, taking 221 internees with them as hostages. When the Americans asked the Japanese to surrender, Colonel Hayashi answered, "It is not compatible with Japanese military doctrine." After a day of negotiating to save the hostages' lives, the Americans agreed to conduct the Japanese out of Santo Tomas to within a few hundred yards of their own lines. At dawn the next day the Americans, holding their rifles ready, formed on both sides of the Education Building door, marched the Japanese out of the university grounds." ________ (Caption above bottom photo) "The Japanese leave the university in the dim light of early morning. At the right, holding his trousers to keep them out of the mud, is Ernest Stanley, a missionary who worked as an interpreter during the talks between Colonel Brady and the Japanese. At the left is Colonel Brady. The Americans marched in two columns, one on each side of the departing Japanese." - Linaman, Dellas
