Front
Hazards Told
to Russians

washington, OCT. 20 ms
Strong diplomatic belief prevailed
in Washington today that the Unit
ed States and Great Britain have
informed Russia it would be pre-
mature and hazardous to the Al
lied cause for the Anglo-American
armies to attempt TO open a major
second front in western Europe
this year.
Secretary OF State Cordell Hull
and British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden are believed to have
expressed this view to Soviet For
eign Commissar Molotov in re-
Spouse to the latter's appeal for
an about Allied effort to defeat
Germany within the next few
months.
On the basis OF the reports which
have been received concerning the
momentous discussions in Moscow.
qualified Washington diplomatic
observers pictured the opening
phase OF the conference as having
developed as follows;
Time Element
Molotov insisted that the first
item TO be discussed on the agen-
da OF the conference should be
the military problem Of shortening
the European conflict. Hull and
Eden are believed to have assent
ed TO this request.
In the opening stage OF the mil
itary discussions, Molotov is
thought to have emphasized that
the main Allied task now should
be to eliminate the time weapon
in the hands of the Nazis by NOV
ing without further delay TO in
flict a decisive defeat.
Molotov is seen as having stress
ed the Soviet view that the mill
tary and political situation in Eu-
rope is extremely favorable TO the
Allies, and that failure to take ad-
vantage OF the favorable oppor.
tunities will mean unnecessary pro-
longing of the war.
In reply. Hull and Eden are be-
lieved to have explained that the
decision reached at the Quebec
conference in August called for the
opening OF the second front at the
earliest possible time that the
United States and Great Britain
could get ready to launch the in
vasion with a reasonable hope Of
success.
Insist on Preparation
The American and British for
eign ministers further are believ-
ed to have called attention to the
difficult task which the Anglo.
American forces had in getting a
foothold at Salerno in the first
week Of the operations there. 1t Is
considered likely Hull and Eden
pointed out a similar invasion in
western Europe on far greater
scale before a complete prepare
ton had been made might end in
disaster. thus robbing the Allies
of a decisive victory and enabling
the Germans to achieve a stale
mate. At this point, the American
and British military advisers are
believed to have explained to the
Russians the difficulties OF amphi-
bious warfare.
1t is thought Molotov countered
with the argument that Germany's
position is weaker than Washing
ton and London realize. He also is
believed to have expressed the view
that the swiftness OF the Soviet
advance should enable the time
table OF the Quebec strategy to
/ be advanced.
Diplomatic Washington thinks
Hull and Eden replied that their
! instructions were TO state the
Quebec decision still stands, but
/ that they would report Molotoy's

Because the prisoners naturally IA
vor the sports of their own coun-
tries, standard army athletic equip
ment kits have not proved generally
satisfactory.
National preferences and tastes
are taken into account in planning
the meals for the prisoners. These
menus, covering meals for month,
are prepared in the Office of the
quartermaster general. Substitu-
tons may be made from list OF
foods indicated as approximately
equivalent in food value to any item
on the specified list. For instance,
the Italians at Camp Atterbury,
Ind, asked for more bread and
spaghetti instead of their meat al
lowance. The camp now gets more
flour and less meat. The menu for
typical day at that camp consists
of spaghetti, pork, potatoes, cole
slaw, canned pears, coffee and thick
crusted Italian bread. It is men
toned that the men leave their
plates clean.
The administration of each prison
camp follows a well-established pat
tern. A typical prison camp, for ex-
ample, housing 5000 prisoners, re-
quires the services of sos officers
and enlisted men of the United
States army. This detachment is
made UP of three military police es-
cort companies, 81 additional Off
GERS, and three attached officers.
These companies usually are rotat-
ed, one being on actual guard, man.
ming towers and gates, while an
other is in alert and another is en-
gagged in tactical and other train
ing exercises or in supervising and
guarding work details.
The prisoners are organized into
companies of $50 men each, with
each company under an officer of
the army of the United States. In
turn, battalions are formed within
the camp, all under the camp COM
mander.
Although the company command
er is assisted in administering his
company by enlisted members of
the army of the United States, in
GLIDING first sergeant, mess and
supply sergeant, clerk, an inter-
prefer and cook, the prisoners them
selves are permitted to organize and
administer their own affairs as
much as possible. From their own
ranks they may choose leaders to
serve as their spokesman in max
ing requests or complaints to the
company or camp commander.
Cooks, BARRIERS, tailors, cobblers and
other essential personnel also are
chosen from among the prisoners.

from one enclosure to another.
Guards and administrative person
mel are housed outside the stockade
in nearby barracks and offices.
Will Work as Harvest Hands.
The office of the provost marshal
general has found that many of the
prisoners were tradesmen, including
carpenters, stone masons, house
painters, but the use to which their
skills may be put is restricted.
Many others were farmers. Their
use in farming will be confined to
those operations which require a
dozen or more men at one time, such
as cotton picking and harvesting.
Prisoners must be under guard at
all times. Being soldiers, they cam
not be placed in the custody of a
civilian, and it is impracticable to
send a guard out with small groups.
Other occupations which will en-
ploy large numbers of prisoners are
road building, irrigation develop
ments, dam construction and prof.
ects of similar nature.
All of the enlisted prisoners,
whether working or not, receive an
allowance of 10 cents day for the
purchase of toilet goods or other
articles from the stockade canteen.
Their pay when working, 80 cents a
day, is deposited in credit ac-
count. The prisoner may withdraw,
in the form of canteen coupons, one
half of each months credit up to a
maximum of $40 per month.
When working for a state or pri-
vate contractor, the rate of pay is
decided upon in advance between
the employer and the camp COM
mander. The rate, however, may
not be less than that of 80 cents a
day paid when the work is done for
the federal government.
Officer prisoners are not COM
PEELED to work. If they choose to
work, they are paid the same basis
as the enlisted man. Regardless of
whether or not the officers work,
under the Geneva convention they
are. paid in accordance with their
grade and in line with specific ar
rangements between the enemy
powers. This pay for German and
italian officer prisoners is the equiv
alent of $40 per month for warrant
officers and first and second lieu
tenants; $50 for captains, and $40
for those in the grade of major and
above.

Prisoners Of War Are Held In Il States;
Some Work on Farms and Public Projects
Defeated Men Happy
About Hearty Food,
Humane Treatment

Prisoners of war, principally
from North Africa, are being
shipped to the United States and
placed in camps, there to re-
main until peace returns. Some
36,688 men have arrived, of
whom 22,110 are Germans, A.
SIG Italians and 81 Japanese, up
to the first week of June, the war
department announces. They
are confined in 81 camps, locat-
ed in II states.
These former enemy soldiers are
being treated according to the hui
name requirements Of the Geneva
convention, of which both Germany
and Italy are signatories, as is the
United States. Japan has never ac-
cepted this agreement.
These men may be employed,
within rigid provisions, on farms and
public works construction, thereby
possibly relieving the labor short
age in some regions. Another adj
vantage of having these prisoners
here, is that their presence here
keeps their friends and relatives in
the homelands anxious about their
welfare. This anxiety may help to
insure honorable treatment of
American prisoners in Axis camps.
On the other hand, the reports which
prisoners write home about the good
food and decent living and working
conditions here, should have a ia
vorable propaganda value.
Germans are housed in these II
camps. These are: Camp Breckin-
ridge, KY; Camp Chafee, Ark;
Crossville, Tenn; Camp Gruber,
Okla; Hereford, Texas; Huntsville,
Texas; Roswell, N. M; Stringtown,
Okla; Angel Island, Calf; Camp
Blanding, Fla; and Fort Meade,
Md. There are some Italians at
Crossville. Angel Island, Camp
Blanding, and Fort Meade are tenn
porary establishments.
There are 10 camps for Italians.
These are: Camp Atterbury, Ind;
Camp Carson, Colo; Camp Clark,
Mo-; Weingarten, Mo-; Crossville,
Tenn. (separate from Germans);
Florence, Ariz.; Fort Leonard Wood,
Mo-; Ogden, Utah; Camp Phillips,
KAN; and Camp Wheeler, Ga. All
these are permanent. The 81 Japa-
nese are confined at Camp Mccoy,

The present capacity of these
camps is stated as approximately

as needed, the war department
says. Most prison camps are locat-
ed within army camps.
The commanding officer of the

manding officer of the prison estab-
ishment. Where the prison camp is
not within an army installation, the
commanding officer of the prison
camp is designated by the COM
manding general of the service COM.

The standard stockade at each of
the prison camps is an enclosure
within a double barbed wire fence,
with guard towers covering a mar
row alley between fences. This
stockade is divided into three COM
pounds, containing hut shelters, mess
halls, toilet facilities and other in
stallations to provide for 1000 men.
Within their respective compounds,
the prisoners may circulate freely,
but guarded gates restrict passage
