Lochner associated Prest writer the United nations lace a whale of a Job to put German Economy Hack on a somewhat workable looting. The German people themselves will probably be appalled when they learn the full facts of nazi economic m Effina Naff ent Adolf Hitler set aside All approved economic principles by decreeing that the German reichsmark was backed solely by the labor of Goman hands a reality t was hacked by loot and robbery first of the jews then successively of the churches the accumulated wealth of countries which came under German a Protection and Linay the possessions both private and Public of occupied and conquered countries. Food and supplies to put German Economy Back on a sound basis will be one of the first tasks of the United nations. Consumer a goods will be a crying need in Defeated Germany. 1 doubt whether any other country of the world that prided itself on the processing of materials from the raw to the finished state has Ever so completely depleted its warehouses its shop windows its store shelves As has Hitler s Germany. Unscrambled Economy another terrific economic task awaiting the United nation is that of unscrambling the Omelette which the Natis have prepared by their ousting of rightful owners both at Home and abroad of businesses manufacturing plants and institutions. Just How to Trace the real owners where to find their heirs if they have meanwhile been shot or have died How to separate into their component parts undertakings welded into a seemingly indissoluble whole by the nazis from a number of diversified plants All this will prove a herculean task. German bureaucracy was much like Quot that of All other countries it obeys and carries out orders. By this i mean the lower brackets of the huge bureaucratic army that every state possesses. Given determined democratic leadership these run of the mine German civil servants will do their assigned tasks faithfully mrs. Churchill asks closer soviet ties Moscow May 14�?mrs.

Roland Demunbrun by Earl Mazo Star and stripes staff writer Copenhagen May 15 delayed a Allied forces getting their first look at this danish capital since the nazi occupation in 1940, today found out the answers to questions that had been puzzlers for years. They discovered danish partisans sabotaged a lot of German property sometimes through the most painstaking plans. They saw for themselves looking at Copenhagen a demolished Shell building that Raf mosquitoes achieved one of the wars Best pinpoint bombings the night they flattened danish Gestapo Headquarters. They Learned that despite the occupation Copenhagen food is still something folks dream about. And. Almost More surprising than anything Quot else they found Chic Youngs Blondie cartoon strip was printed All through the occupation. Man Call two soldiers express views ribbing or my Point system dear editor Many have expressed the belief that the Point system for demobilization is fair. Fairness Means that consideration is shown to those who deserve it. When some characters were drafted into the army it took a draft Board three or four occasions to decide whether the individual was alive enough to be classified As a Soldier. For example in my Case i was turned Down three times for having very poor eyesight. The fourth time they hooked me. Quot a a they exclaimed a a you must have worn corrective glasses. A you see i need some More Points. I also need a pair of eyes. I need a few years subtracted from my age to make myself a productive civilian again.1 done to believe that the experts who worked out the Point system Ever figured on the men overseas who need seeing Eye dogs. I done to think they Ever thought of men Over 35 who found it hard to gather Points. A somewhat 4-f and nearsighted As hell a awarding so Many Points for this and so Many Points for that makes a Guy feel that he sat an auction where the discharge goes to the highest bidder. Pvt. R. N. Home Ron t i inducements dear editor a recent letter in mail Call expressed fear that now the War is Over Over Here the Home front might reconvert too quickly to peacetime production and thereby prolong the War against Japan. Such a fear is Well founded. I suggest that while the Home front is throwing off Many of the restrictions of War such As Midnight curfew horse racing ban etc., that it also create a few privileges for War workers. Permit Only those who work in War plants to have several units of the British Fleet eased into Copenhagen Harbor today. Hundreds of germans who had been lolling around their ships since last Friday locked on Stone faced and said nothing. German guns that an hour before had been pointed Harbor wards immediately were turned inward. Soon afterwards British sailors went ashore to have a look at the freed capital. They found Dones swarming Over their waterfront boulevards and lanes. It was the first time they had been allowed on their own waterfront since the occupation. An old Dane who looked like a Fisherman hobbled up to several americans pointed to the German ships and said a a when will you British Chase this trash from our Harbor a Bob Neely a Long Beach calif., lieutenant told him a we re not British. You la have to ask Montgomery a the Danes did a Good Job of sabotage. Partisans working in one arms Plant brought int into the building in cigarette packages for three months. When enough int had been collected inside they blew up the Plant. Probably no City in America serves such Rich creamy ice Cream and milk As is served at almost every hotel meal in Copenhagen. There is also plenty of bread and when Danes invite friends in for a a a bread and butter snacks it Means a meal that will put any american smorgasbord to shame. Among danish delicacies is smoked eel.  Fay n. Steele who figured eels were eels whether they were from Denmark or from his Home at Tiptonville term like other americans he passed up the delicacy. / Chow Chow Chow Chow i smell it burning now.
