Original print is of inferior quality. Photograph caption dated September 6, 1950 reads, "Speaker at Van Nuys Rotary noon Meet today - Roy Bennett, at microphone, and Dr. Robert Ellery, chairman." Note: Article of same date partially reads, "Americans now fighting in Korea are determining the final outcome of an American experiment in democracy in the Philippine Islands," Roy C. Bennett told the Van Nuys Rotary Club at a noon meeting today in the American Legion Hall. Bennett, a former Manila newspaper editor and Far East correspondent, was the first political prisoner taken by the Japanese in the Philippines."
