HOBOKEN, N. j. -PP) - Va
laida Snow is back in America after
suffering many hardships from the
hands and heels of NaZi agents
Miss Snow, former Broadway star
and an ace trumpeter, was the toast
of Europe prior to the war. In 1910
she fled to Holland as the war
clouds began to gather over France.
Later, in Denmark, she led an all
Danish orchestra in one of the
popular cinema houses with a long
term contract-tnen Hitler moved
in! Nazi agents soon imprisoned
Valaida for a year where she was
treated fairly well, until the attack
on Pearl Harbor when the Nazi
reins were frightened on the Ameri-
can actress and she was caught in
mercileSS net.
Thrown into NaZI concentra-
ton camp, her food consisted of
few white potatoes daily She claim
ed that she was horse-whipped each
day. Miss Snow is alleged to have
been struck on the head with a
sword by one of Hitler's brutal
beasts; her head bears scar as
proof. Through the kindness of a
police commissioner of this Danish
city, she was given help. Washing
ton was Immediately notified and
the State Department took charge
Of the case.
Arrangements were made to ex-
change the famed actress for a
German manicuriSt, Anna Hoff-
man. Leaving the filthy dungeon
where she was kept prisoner for
many months, Valaida was led into
the camp office for her release. The
Nazl agents refused to return her
$4,000 in American money, $4,000
worth of jeWelry and her mink
coat vanished.
They gave her old discarded
clothes to wear, her. trumpet. and
little money. From there a Nazi
guard escorted her to an airport.
where she took the plane to Lisbon.
she was put aboard the ship Cribs
NOM With twenty cents in her
pockets. Weighing only seventy-slx
pounds, her body still bruised and
nlimbed as a result of her impris4
onment, the former Broadway
songbird again set foot on Aneri-
can soil, via New Jersey.
