Speaker’s Wor[l]d
A Journey to and from the Santo Tomas Internment Camp through Numismatics: A Tragedy in Manila

by Steve Feller,
presented to our February 10, 2021 meeting.

As was the case of enemy civilian internees throughout World War II, places needed to be found that were secure. One such place, out of dozens in the Philippine Islands, was the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. Over four thousand people were interned there, and the majority were Americans. This program will tell stories through surviving camp artifacts and other documents.

On Sunday, April 28, 2013, an Easter Mass that was first sung by Allied detainees in a Japanese internment camp in Manila 70 years earlier was performed in the town of Murwillumbah, far northern NSW, Australia. The choral concert was historic because it was only the second time the mass has been performed. Its original performance began at 10:30am on Easter Sunday, April 25, 1943, in the darkest days of the Pacific war, following the fall of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Manila, and the bombing of Darwin, Australia. The first concert was held in the Fathers’ Garden of the church on the campus of the historic University of Santo Tomas, which the occupying Japanese forces turned into a civilian internment camp.

The musical arrangement was written by Mario Bakerini-Booth, an accomplished trumpet player and band leader. After the camp’s liberation in February 1945 by American infantry, he smuggled the original folio to Sydney where he migrated with his wife, the singer Dorothy “Dolly” Baker. Years ago, Mrs Bakerini-Booth gave Mario’s handwritten score to fellow musician and friend Kel McIntosh, a saxophonist, music teacher, and life member of the Tweed Valley Jazz Club in Sydney.

Egyptian-born but of Italian descent, Bakerini-Booth was an accomplished classical trumpeter who studied music in Florence. He became a bandleader, playing jazz at leading hotels and nightclub venues across Europe in the 1930s. With the outbreak of war in Europe in September 1939, the band travelled to India and then Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) for an engagement at Colombo’s Galle Face Hotel. Pursuing work for the band, Mario and Dolly travelled to Shanghai where they formed an 18-piece orchestra which was booked for a lengthy season at Shanghai’s Cosmo Club on Bubbling Well Road. However, menacing world events intervened and, with the Japanese army poised to invade China’s commercial capital, Mario and Dorothy joined hundreds of expatriate Europeans to flee by sea. They caught the last British ship to leave Shanghai, the 4,000-ton steamer Anhui, and sailed south for Hong Kong, then a British Crown colony. They found Hong Kong’s harbour almost deserted and the wharves empty. With only a few hours’ notice, the 900 passengers were told they were sailing on to Singapore. On the second day of the journey, the captain announced they were heading east to Manila.

The events forcing Dorothy and Mario’s flight to safety were momentous. On December 8, 1941, the Japanese Imperial Army stormed the British and American sectors of Shanghai, known as the International Settlement. In the same 24 hours, the Japanese air force bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (December 7, 1941 on the other side of the international dateline) which brought the United States into the Second World War. When the passengers put ashore in Manila Harbor, they were already aware that Japanese forces had landed in the north of the country on the same day (December 8) and were heading towards the capital. However, they were taken by surprise by the speed of the advance. On January 2, 1942, the city surrendered and Mario and Dorothy were trapped. The foreign European population, mainly American and British businessmen, their wives and families, was rounded up and incarcerated in a civilian detention center at the University of Santo Tomas, a fenced campus of 50 acres. More than 4,000 civilians were herded into the main building, the gymnasium, and the domestic arts building which became their “home” for the next three years. This camp was one out of dozens in the Philippine Islands established for detainees.

Camp records show that there were 390 deaths among internees between January 1942 and March 1945. Official records show that male internees lost an average of 53 pounds during their 37 months of incarceration at Santo Tomas. General MacArthur entered the compound on February 7, 1945. Even the shelling by the retreating Japanese could not dampen the sheer jubilation of the internees. The liberation of the camp was followed by an exodus from Manila by internees anxious to return home. Mario and Dorothy Bakerini-Booth, each weighing about 70 lbs, joined a ship to Australia where they planned to start a new life. The couple made their way to Sydney, found an inner-city boarding house, and began to make some money from their music.

An article in the Sydney Morning Herald of April 9, 1945 provides a brief story from the camp:

Theatricals interned in the camp put on simple concerts, mostly song and dance, but the Japanese did not grin at the concerts. According to Mario and Dorothy Bakerini-Booth, the Japanese man lacked completely a sense of humor and an understanding of satire. “Perhaps it was just as well,” said Mario, “as in the Jingles we sang there was a jeer and a sneer in every line. We had quite a good time until one day an American-educated Japanese arrived with a new batch of guards. He saw through our satire and concerts were stopped.“

Using a map, some post cards, and items found on eBay, Steve illustrated the above story arc of one couple’s experience. The experiences of a few others were covered in shorter arcs, to fill in details. While no distinct currency is known from Santo Tomas, monthly meal tickets have survived from February, 1942 to January, 1944. Steve showed a December, 1942 meal ticket for Dorothy, good at the Central Kitchen, as well as her health certificate from the Public Health Department of the Shanghai Municipal Council, dated 29 November 1941. Also acquired on eBay was an accumulation of paper items, including named meal tickets and ration cards, kept by Thomas Fenstermacher who was a room monitor in the camp; other items included a filled-in room call-call form for November, an awarded weekly certificate for the cleanest room in the camp, notices to internees, notices to room monitors, and blank forms to be used by room monitors. A careful reading of these last few items yield prices and item availabilities. The online newspaper accumulations are a great source of information – Steve showed a clipping with the part of the tenth and eleventh War Department lists of liberated internees which shows “Fenstermacher, Thomas Harvey, Reading Pa.” and then Steve matched a picture of five emaciated seated internees with its use in The Evening Star of Washington, DC on February 24, 1945.

The money used in the Philippine camps was not specific to a camp – it was the now-common Japanese Invasion Money (JIM), officially known as Southern Development Bank Notes, with all writing in English: THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT and the denomination as Centavos or Pesos. Steve showed pictures of a range of denominations, and then showed images, from soon after liberation, of US personnel with piles and crates of it – in one, a bulldozer is moving stacks of crates prior to their burning. Examples of JIM are readily available on eBay; Santo Tomas meal tickets are offered at high prices, so know what an genuine one looks like; and now and then an estate sale might have an accumulation of items.

Show and Tell

Items shown at our February 10, 2021 meeting,
reported by Melissa Gumm.

1. Complementing the featured speaker’s topic, John Riley showed an example of civilian internee small change used by detainees of Japanese ancestry in the United States during WWII. The green fiber 28mm canteen token was used at a camp administered by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service in Crystal City, Texas; for 25¢. Surviving examples are scarce – it is cataloged in Lance Campbell’s book on prisoner of war money (Campbell-8987) and by Schwan and Boling-1095 in the book World War II Remembered. A fiercely debated wartime security practice, President Reagan much later issued a formal governmental apology to the detainees.
2. Dale Lukanich showed one coin, a gold solidus struck by the Emperor Arcadius. Struck at the Milan mint, the original should weigh about 4.5 grams, while this piece weighs 2.09 grams. This gold coin was cut in half to make change at sometime; when and why remain a mystery. This coin was like a $1000 bill in its day, so when change needed to be made, out came the chisel.
3. Deven Kane showed that things aren’t always what they seem. Deven had a bronze coin, smaller than a quarter, with a ram running left and its head turned right on the obverse, and scales on the reverse – thought to be a coin of Nectanebo II, the last native pharaoh. Ancient Egypt had no coins, so it copied the Athenian owls; the last two native Pharaohs minted gold coins. Over a period of about 15 years the price of this coin type skyrocketed when it was thought to be from the last pharaoh, and then plummeted when doubts arose. It has typology similar to the gold starters found in Syria, not Egypt, and is similar to coins of Antioch with no ethnic identifying marks. Deven is not sure what the coin really is, but with confidence can say what it isn’t a coin of Nectanebo II.
4. Mark Wieclaw showed silver coins.
   1. “Juke box” silver half dollars are coins painted, usually with nail polish, so that owners of establishments with juke boxes, who feed the juke boxes to get the crowd going, would know how much they had put into the juke box themselves.
   2. A series of silver coins featuring the denominations quinarius, denarius, and antoninianus, focusing on the age progression of Roman Emperor Caracalla across the coins. The quinarius was half of a denarius, while an antoninianus was supposed to be a double denarius (but was nowhere near twice the weight).
5. Jeff Amelse showed a range of items.
   1. A rare Comes Bonifatius Africae AE3 out of North Africa (Carthage) during the reign of Theodosus II (422-431). Count Boniface was a Roman general and governor of the Diocese of Africa. In volume 10 of Roman Imperial Coins 3805-3819 are described as ppossible coins of Bonifatius, but now some believe these were struck by Vandals.
   2. Japanese Hansatsu Currency, feudal scrip of the Edo period (1700s) issued for local use. This scrip had a value of silver 1 Monme.
   3. A 19th century 1 Monme note. Jeff found the scrip attractive due to the color, Japanese script, and drawings found on it.
6. Rich Lipman showed paper items.
   1. A $1 Union Military bond from the state of Missouri, issued to the bearer for actual service, to be paid in one year. During the Civil War both the North and South had to figure out how to raise funds for the battle. Confederate bonds are more common and readily available for collecting.
   2. Two admission tickets to the Republican National Convention held June 1916 in Chicago at the Coliseum. Printed by the Western Banknote Company, these were for the fifth and sixth days of the convention.
7. Gerry Anaszewicz showed three related coins from the Ilkhanate (Mongols in Persia), the middle eastern part of the Mongol Empire. These artistically styled coins were struck in gold, silver, and copper; Gerry showed copper coins which intrigued him due to the simple designs on them.
   1. An Anushiravan featuring a rabbit.
   2. An Uljaytu featuring a smiling sunshine.
   3. One with an unusual inscription with no consensus on what the land animal depicted is, but it appears to be a dragon of the fire breathing type. Oddly, the inscription is not readable by readers of Arabic.

Minutes of the Chicago Coin Club Board

February 17, 2021

The Chicago Coin Club Board met February 17, 2021 via web hosted video conference. President Lyle Daly called the meeting to order at 6:02 PM with all Board members present except Jeff Rosinia.

Carl Wolf reported on the status of Speaker’s medals for 2020. They are ready to go. The accompanying certificates need signatures, which was recommended to be Lyle Daly as past First VP in charge of 2020 Speakers. The 2020 Cabeen medals are also ready. Board members Mark, Steve, Lyle, and Bill will meet at Chicago Coin Company Thursday February 25, 2021 at 10:00 AM to mail out last year’s awards. Carl also reported that the additional purchase of Speaker medals are in with ribbons attached.

The ANA 2021 convention committee reported the 2021 convention is scheduled for August 10-14, 2021. Harlan J. Berk has agreed to sponsor the Volunteer shirts and offered his office space for committee meetings when in person meetings are deemed safe. The question of ANA convention cancellation is unknown, but experience has shown it usually happens 45 days prior, to coincide with travel cancellations. Mark Wieclaw emailed Sam Gelberd, ANA Numismatic Educator, about speakers and found speaker presentations will take place on Thursday and Friday. Carl Wolf indicated we have 43 blank speaker medals in stock with no name or date, ready to go. The committee should investigate options for a joint banquet again with the New York club.

It was decided that the 2020 November Auction will be combined with the November 2021 Auction.

A discussion about the December CCC banquet indicated that Sharon Blocker usually handled the coordination and Bob Feiler worked with her. We will establish a committee to research and plan a December 2021 CCC Banquet, without making commitments until closer to the date to gauge Pandemic impact. A call for committee volunteers will be made at the March club meeting to begin work in June.

In-person meetings discussion indicated that it is still dependent on the Pandemic, local orders for gatherings, availability of the Chicago Bar Association space, and the comfort of members to attend. All the mentioned factors will be monitored for future decision. Rich Lipman offered to serve as a medical advisor for the appropriateness of return to in-person meetings. The Chicago Bar Association is expected to reopen in une/July – Scott will monitor. Security in the downtown area was also discussed, however no resolution was made. Mark Wieclaw suggested a poll of the membership to determine who and how many members would be comfortable returning to in-person meetings. It was generally decided that this would be appropriate, however we should wait until vaccinations have progressed significantly further.

A discussion of maintaining online meetings as part of future in-person meetings lead to formation of a committee to explore the options. The Board approved a committee of Carl Wolf, Steve Zitowsky, and Deven Kane.

The Chicago Coin Club bank account requires signatures be changed to current officers, namely Elliott Krieter, Lyle Daly, and Scott McGowan. Current treasurer Elliott to research process with Chase Bank.

Discussion of the Annual Audit of the Chicago Coin Club as per the by-laws established a committee of Mark Wieclaw, Bill Burd, and Steve Zitowsky with assistance from Elliott Krieter. The committee will meet at the Chicago Coin Company offices to complete audit before the March Club meeting deadline.

A proposal to publish the monthly Treasurer’s report in the Chatter. This is not required of 501 C(7) fraternal organizations. It was decided that rather than publish in the Chatter, the Treasurer’s report would be sent with the Club’s online meeting invite each month. The discussion to publish the year-end financial report in the Chatter indicated the publication of all annual Income and Expenses and account balances.

Discussion of a centralized membership list, to which authorized Board members have access, would benefit the Treasurer, Secretary, and Chatter Publisher with the most up-to-date member list for emails and mailings. The board decided this would be established by the Treasurer and held on the Treasurer’s shareable GOOGLE Drive.

Discussion whether Club should purchase additional stock of the Medal of Merit (M.o.M.). Carl indicated they are readily available at multiple mints, so there is no risk of availability. Carl to call for quotes and cost savings on 5-6 unengraved M.o.M. for stock. Mark Wieclaw mentioned he was working on ideas for a 1300th club meeting despite it being 6+ years away.

A proposal was made to set up a GOOGLE VOICE phone number for the club, to be used for publication listings. This number could then stay consistent as Board officers change. The number would forward and text to the Club Secretary to handle or bring to the Board, based on the nature of the call.

Discussion of the Chicago Coin Club History interviews of past members and if/how to publish. Discussion on whether to edit and place on website or CDs. Where do we see these winding up, and who is our audience? Publishing to the NNP would give a broader audience. Lyle Daly to contact David Lisot as a possible source for a quote on editing the histories. Further discussion on moving forward with new histories indicated we should. Carl indicated that, when he started, he started with a common list of questions for all interviews. We should establish a History committee to formulate who to interview and create the question list. Lyle Daly indicated this should start with the Hall of Fame Committee taking on the continuation of interviews.

A proposal was made to create an online chat forum for Chicago Coin Club members to continue engaging on all topics Numismatic using a service like Discord or Slack. The board approved moving forward with research, with attention to security, cost, and rules of engagement. The Forum would be called Chicago Coin Club Chat.

Discussion of the Order of Business in by-laws should be reorganized. Lyle Daly to redraft the Order of Business review at the March Club meeting, publish in the April Chatter, and hold the Club vote at the April meeting.

The request for Chicago Coin Club nomination of member Joseph Boling for ANA Vice President was made and approved.

Discussion about publication of the Club by-laws on the Club website resulted in the decision not to publish, but to make the document available by email, upon written request to the Club Secretary. This discussion also noted that the last by-laws update, prior to the recent change to the Life membership, was in 2012.

The Board discussed publication of the Cabeen Award points policy on the website. It was decided that both the points policy and award history should be published on the website, and more communication about the award was needed to all club members. John Riley to review points policy for publication, and Carl Wolf will provide Cabeen history for publication. Board also decided we should display the Cabeen medal image and rules on the screen at online meetings before monthly presentations.

A summary of the Chatter publication numbers was presented: 54% are mailed and 46% are sent by email link. Each emailed link saves the Club $0.55 - $0.75 mailing cost plus the $0.50 - $0.70 print cost. We mail five complementary copies (Elgin CC, Coin World, ANA, ANS, and Active Interest Media [Previously Krause]). An email link is also sent to ILNA. CSNS was sent in the past but emails were returned; we will change the CSNS email to CSNS editor. Currently, we do not mail Chatter to the Newman Numismatic Portal – past Chatter issues are supplied to the NNP for scanning by the Club archivist.

Discussion on annual advertising contracts for the Chatter. We have 4 full page ads that are the same in each issue except for CSNS which has convention related dates. Annual contracts run from the June issue to the following May issue. Members receiving an emailed link to the online Chatter see the advertisers’ names as links to the business sites. Carl to follow up on recent contracts before passing to new Secretary.

Mark Wieclaw shared the actual Medal of Merit on the screen, to lots of oohs and aahs.

The motion to Adjourn was made by Carl Wolf, and Lyle Daly adjourned the meeting at 8:31PM.

Respectfully Submitted,
Scott A. McGowan
