PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10
Joseph Berman was bright
enough to place among the first
100 of the 1000 men who took
civil service examinations for
the Philadelphia police force.
But he never stopped to rea-
son that his fingerprints sub
mitted to the board would be
passed along to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
A card labeled Berman dis
closed that the owner of the
fingerprints had been indicted
by a Federal grand jury in
New York on liquor conspiracy
charges and was listed as a
fugitive.
Joseph Berman is in a cell
at Moyamensing Prison await
ing hearing before United
States Commissioner James

Casualties Mount
In War Game
On West Coast
'CoIifornio's Defenders
Awuit Attack From
Invader at Sea
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 49,
Theoretical destruction and casual
ties mounted today in q make-be-
lieve war to drive an invader from
California's shores.
Somewhere off the Monterey
Coast, an invading force of go YES
sels and several thousand men
awaited the zero hour to attempt
. landing.
Drawn up in battle array behind
camouf1aged positions, thousands
more defenders waited through q
wintry dawn to give battle with
imaginary shot and shell.
The maneuvers are the largest
war games ever staged jointly by
the United States Army and Navy,
and this year are designed to test
ability Of a highly mobile but out
numbered defense force to ward of
IN invasion from the sea.
Four Days of Warfare.
Four days of mock warfare al
ready had left imaginary desola-
ton which included:
Two early bombing raids over San
Francisco and bay area airports by
aircraft from the invading BLACK"
force. (The raids were realistic in
that hundreds of bay area residents
were aroused from dawn slumber by
the roar of the attacking planes and
those which scared aloft to fight
them.)
Bombardment of Monterey and
Santa Cruz docks by defending ar
tillery to destroy transport landing
facilities. (The enemy theoretically
holds Monterrey
Enemy bombing forays over Be-
necia, Napa, San Leandro, Hay
ward, Santa Clara, Fort Scott and
Sacramento.
.Skirmishing between defense
forces and at an advance unit Of
the invaders who fought their way
ashore on Monterey Bay Tuesday.
1900 on Transports.
Approximately 1900 soldiers are
aboard transports in the main unit
of the BLACK" attackers. They are
supplemented by a strong naval
force and aircraft based on car
riers offshore.
The main landing attempt has
been anticipated by defense officers
since Tuesday, but at 4 pm. yester-
day the invaders we're sighted less
than 100 miles off Monterey, leading
to the belief the attack would be
launched today, possibly before
dawn.
After the battle is over, official
umpires Of both offense and de-
fense will determine who won.

On tour of the Nazi west wall. "
we saw German soldiers walking
about casually In front of their
first line defenses without draw
ing fire from the French guns 200
yards away. We stood with Ger
man troops on the bank of the
Rhine watching French soldiers
walk unconcernedly along a rail-
road track within easy rifle range.
We heard a dozen tales from Ger
man defenders OF the Siegfried line
of clandestine meetings between
the lines with French soldiers at
night for a cigaret and whls-
pered chat.
The reasons for these amazing
contradictions in the Rhine front
TO the desperateness OF the war in
which Germany and the allies are
locked are three:
MANY OF the Frenchmen sta
toned along the Rhine are
German-speaking Alsatians living
In the neighborhood which they
are defending and who have rela-
tiyes and friends across the river
on the German side.
1.-The Rhine, with its unbridged
4 expanse Of 200 yards separat-
Ing the heavily fortified lines dis
courages the thought of invasion
anywhere across a front 100 miles
long.
3-There is tacit realization that
IL one side shells the enemy
shore, the enemy will retaliate.
That would mean the destruction
of villages along the German bank
of the Rhine which, with one ex-
ception, have not been evacuated.
The exception is Kehl, which lies
across the river from Strassbourg.
German officers who accompa-
MED US said that artillery fire had
been exchanged only once on the
upper Rhine sector since the be-
ginning Of the war. German sol
diers manning the defenses along
the river bank said that only &C
casionally did rifle or machine gun
fire break the silence.
II was plain, even 90 n civil
