Europa an cow unravelling a mystery perhaps i can assist in lifting the veil surrounding world War if British troop ship sinking As reported in the stars and Striper vets Hope to lift veils surrounding world War ii nov. 14. For the army Center for military history to say we Don really have much on it. Sounds mite incredible. But then the entire article i kind of a mishmash. Either Way from the fragments of intelligence offered i find it probable that the British troop ship Rohna and Joh Fievet experienced one of the world s first cruise missile attacks. The Roh Nawas probably struck by a Herschel hs293 radio controlled glider bomb or guided Wing missile. With a Wing Span of 10 feet seven inches and a length of 13 feet four inches these radio controlled bombs with a Range of five Miles saw their initial service against Allied convoys in the Mediterranean in mid-1943.they had a rocket device located under the main body to provide initial acceleration of approximately 300 Miles per hour. They could be carried by the Luftwaffe s dornier 217e5, Heinkel 177 or junkers. 290 they were specially de signed for use against merchant ships Landing crafts and other Nona Mored ves Sels. A French Friend of ours recently recovered one without its wings in Normandy. The coming air museum in Normandy which will include a Section for the United states 9th air Force expressed no interest in this historic find. The Hon Schul hs293 is today a prize displaying the French Musee do it manage in , the Heinkel hel77a Grey which carried the aforementioned radio controlled bomb was intercepted by Raf no. 456 Squadron during the night of june 6/7,1944. To permit evasive action the German aircraft jettisoned it bomb which in turn crashed into the ground near Neuville. The bomb was known to the Luftwaffe As fx1400 Fritz. Ronald . Hirs Darmstadt Germany. Attack Root of crime a multimillion Dollar crime Bill has recently been approved by Congress and is presently sitting on president Clinton desk awaiting his signature. Twenty two billion dollars to put 100,000 new police men and women on the streets and build new state and Federal prisons for what. This program will not bring to an end America s crime problem. Focus should be on How to Stop crime instead of what to do once a crime has been committed. Instead of concentrating on what to do to criminals Why not prevent people from becoming criminals Money aimed a providing better Edu cation Job training and social skills Grams would serve the Long Range goal of crime prevention More so than new police and prisons. In 1925, state Federal prisons held 79 inmates for every 100,000people today that figure has risen to Well Over 300, yet the crime rate continues to increase. How Many prisons and police will be needed in the year 2010 or2050? the Short term fix May be incarceration but the Only Long term solutions to attack the Root causes of crime. The people most affected by crime Are Low income underprivileged minorities with limited if any political clout. Until politicians Are willing to put aside their self serving motives and com Mit to the welfare of the people the have been elected to serve the social and economic conditions which Breed crime will continue to go unattended and Bil Lions of dollars will continue to be wasted.

It just proves to me and other sin my office that there really is no need to buy your publication. You wasted over60 percent of the Page with that non sense while there is so much happening throughout the world that news starved Europe could really cares about a 34-year-old woman who goes out at four in the morn ing to get her mail with a .357 magnum in the car and then refuses to identify herself the military police should have received a medal for restraint and composure under the Adverse circumstances. When you get arrested for driving your own car at night something has seriously gone wrong with Bur society. I would Detour Little no s wife has had problems with the Law before. Stick to real . J. Fields Naples Italy religion not offensive in response to the writer of Church state Don t mix nov. 9who stated he was offended by what the president said about National Bible week and that the president does not have the right to suggest that americans read the Bible. Please Don t be offended. Unless the rules have changed the president of the United states is an american you were Quick to Point out the right to Freedom of religion you failed to mention the right to Freedom of speech which had you remembered would have most Likely preempted your letter in the first for your Point on mixing Church and state i have two comments first whore we to limit anyone s religious convictions regardless of the position the hold second the former soviet Union did not mix Church and state need i say. More on that. Finally you slated the president mus keep his mind on the state and let us keep our minds on How we worship our lord i say let us worship the lord openly and boldly and Pray that the pres ident does the same. Steve Tette London Sivility to see after our children. I canno justify taking our children to a baby Sitter while we go out and enjoy ourselves. Do children not deserve to go anywhere be cause they might spoil someone s quiet afternoon at the Post Exchange Why not try to enjoy a quiet afternoon shop Ping on the Economy we have a 6 and a 7-year-old, and on of us takes them to and from school every Day we take them to the pm the movies and out to eat. Yes we took them to see Jurassic Parkland they really enjoyed it. It was not Small children spoiling the movie by Mak ing noise it was a Bunch of teen agers who were constantly disturbing everyone else. Please do not be so Quick to blame Small children for disturbing your afternoon. I just wish people would realize that god gave these children for parents to raise. Remember anything could happen today and they might not be on this Earth tomorrow for us to enjoy. Janette Haywood Mannheim Germany shooting no Accident How can the shooting of a japanese Exchange student by a Louisiana resident be labelled accidental in the caption in the stars and stripes this was a purposeful racist act because the resident s wife saw a Oriental at her front door As threatening and overreacted.

German responsibility in response to the be our guest article Germany in t the Only land guilty of genocide by Gunter Filippucci nov.14you Don t know How relieved i was to have been informed that Adolf Hitler was not a German but an austrian. Shame on everyone for making the poor germans eternal scapegoats r for the 6 million jews exterminated by nazis but not German nazis during world War ii. I wonder what nationality those other nazis were i guess they must have been hungarians or swedes. But certainly not germans. German responsibility for the Holo Caust is historically accurate and remains morally appropriate. The author s com ments Are so pathetic that one cannot feel anger at such ignorance but Only sadness and pity. Rick Kearney 0 Wiesbaden Germany editor s note j the children along bring in response to parental failure wish the writer would make up her mind. On one line she states that parental responsibility does not seem to be popular anymore then goes on to complain about the parents who take their children to the Post Exchange movies and out treat.
