George Vonberg of Charles City. Man given 'heaviest' sentence MARSHALLTOWN (AP) Judge George G. Fagg handed Charles J. Pixler, the Omaha commune leader, a three year prison sentence here Friday, the heaviest sentence allowed under Iowa law. Pixler, upon hearing the sentence, held his head in his hands and sobbed.

The 36-year-old Omaha man had pleaded guilty in district court here to a charge of conspiracy to commit a felony in planning a breakin last fall at the Dwayne VandeStouwe in Fort Dodge. PIXLER'S mother, Mrs. Rosella Pixler of Spencer, wept when the sentence was announced. Pixler, a native of Spencer, had kept an apartment complex in Omaha, where he had housed as many as eight women and seven children. Pixler told Judge Fagg when he pleaded guilty that he had conspired with Michael Smith, 22.

of Sioux City, to go to Fort Dodge and enter the VandeStouwe home in search of information about Collete VandeStouwe, 21. Judge Fagg said evidence showed that when Miss VandeStouwe left Pixler after living with him for five years, Pixler "conceived of a plan of conspiracy for which there is no objertive Bataan- found out that had a New Testament in my pocket and I gave me a fierce he said. He told how the enemy soldiers tied him to a tree by his fingertips and then proceeded to drive bamboo shoots under his fingernails. They gave him a methodical beating, ending it by hitting him in the jaw with a rifle butt. the force of the blow loosening several teeth.

DURING ANOTHER beating, his left arm was struck with such force by a pickaxe handle that it was broken. (Later, the arm had to be rebroken and reset six times by Army doctors before it healed properly.) Frisch said the food or lack of -in the camps was beyond description. "About the only food we got was three teacups of rice each day. Once in a while they would throw in some fish heads or dog bones but usually it was plain rice. Sometimes, if we were lucky, we would catch a snake and add that to our rice rations." he said.

The horror of his prison camp existence lasted until the Japanese surrender on Aug. 14, 1945. "In the movies and old newsreels, you saw pictures of American troops arriving at the prison camps where they were greeted by grateful prisoners. "In our case, we didn't give them time to get to us. "WE HIJACKED A freight train and drove it to Yokahama where we made our contacts with American forces.

The first thing they did was to put us on a hospital ship and take us back to the Philippines where we received medical treatment." Frisch said. Frisch was then put through a series of hospital stays in the United States, including the breakings of his arm, skin-grafting and general rehabilitation treatment. During one four-month period, he underwent surgery every day for plastic surgery and repairs of nerve-endings. It was while he was on leave that he met his wife, the former Melba Wolfgrann, and after his discharge, the couple were married and settled in Sumner. From page 33.

They have one child, a daughter, Tamara Sue. a senior at Sumner School, who will be getting married in June. On Sept. 25, Frisch will be re-living part of his experiences as he will host a POW picnic at the Oelwein armory. The event is the annual al area gathering of the Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor, a group he formerly served as commander.

During the picnic, the former POWs will cook a meal of beans and rice, their prison fare, but will also have an opportunity to abundantly sample morsels from a potluck dinner and hamburgers and hotdogs the men will prepare. FRISCH IS NOT one to glory in past horrors but he has attended in reunion on Corregidor. In 1967, he and a large of other survivors made a visit to the once beleagured island. There, the men reenacted the "Death March," visited their old prison camp sites, and were hosted a at a special banquet by Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos. Each of the men received a plaque from Marcos commemorating the event.

Frisch lives quietly now, working in Oelwein at the Land O' Lakes plant. He is active in veterans affairs and is a past commander of the area Disabled American Veterans post. His wife also served as auxillary president. To many Iowans, April-9 will be just another Saturday, To Harold Frisch. it will be a day to remember.
