Because she was afraid she would be forced to return to her home in the Japanese-occupied area of South China, Mrs, Uy Te, a Chinese refugee here, attempted to commit suicide today by jumping from a second floor window, 18 feet from the ground. She suffered severe injuries.
Mr. Chuo Kiens, the woman's husband, informed the police that his wife had left China last year as a refugee. She did not have a landing permit, but the immigration officials permitted her to land in Manila under bond, he said.
Mrs. Uy Te was afraid that her stay would be cancelled and she would have to return to her home village, which the Japanese have occupied, her husband said.—United Press.
