lG-Year-Oid Japanese
Girl Flown Home to Die
TOKYO — Mira Frances
Oensel, 10, returned today to Ja
pan—“the land she loved so
much”—to die.
A big U.S. Air Force jet tank
er, converted into a mercy plane,
flew her across the Pacific to her
grieving father, Frank Oensel, 72,
a businessman and retired U.S.
Army officer.
Mira, once so bright and active,
neither saw nor heard him. She
has been unconscious since a
brain tumor operation in Augusta,
Ga., in September, I960.
Beside her on the long voyage
from Georgia, across Alaska and
the Pacific, was her Japanese
mother, Tfekako.
The Oensels were visiting in
Georgia when the child, who had
shown no previous symptoms of
the disease, fainted. Oensel had
to return to Tokyo to his job as
adviser to the Japan Steel Works
Co. last April.
The Air Force had learned of
Mira’s plight and offered to re
unite the saddened family. The
child, her mother and Dr. Hugh
Sisson of Augusta, Ga., traveled
aboard ' a KC135 plane used by
maintenance technicians on an in
spection tour of Alaskan and Pa
flc bases.
“There is no way to tell how
long she will live,” Oensel said.
“We’ll let her spend her last days
in Japan, the land she loved so
much.”
