NAZIS QUIT TO AVOID BEING
BLASTED TO HE'LL, ELYITE SAYS

Good thing the Nazis surrendered
or they would have gotten blasted to
hell" is the terse comment of Pvt. Joe
Mosnik, who saw action in the North
African campaigns which were climax
ed by the victory in TuniSia.
"They didn't have a ghost OF a
chance to get away by boat" Private
MoSnik said. Some escaped by plane,
but all of their equipment is lost to
them. A trip to some of these parts
would show you why they couldn't get
out. They didn't even have the privll-
ege OF a Dunkerque.
There is Naz equipment all about.
Speaking of collecting scrap, boy, they
sure have lot OF it to be gathered
up here. There are wrecked Axis ve-
hicleS, tanks, trucks, motorcycles, air
planes and what not all around. They
took a good beating as they retreated
up the peninsula. Guess the air force
hammered them continually. The Axis
won't have much to say here for a
while. The only Germans here are
captives and they are rapidly being
sent out.
mo one bothers to hunt prisoners.
They just walk into camp and sur
render. I've seen lines Of them, hun
dreds and more, guarded by five to
ten soldiers. They can't go anywhere,
so they may as well behave.
sLooks as if the toughest part OF the
war comes next. Am feeling tine and
am burned pretty dark by the sum-"

'"The people went out of their way
to make our stay a happy one," he
said. Auckland seemed more like an
American city than British one, be-
cause all the movies and music are

 $l2O,OOO OFFER
Patrice Munsel Signs Even Before She Makes Her
 Metro Opera Debut

l Announcement that an 18-year- old winner of the 1943 Metropoli- tan Opera Additions of the air had been signed to $120,000 concert contract even before she had made her opera debut has spurred singers all over the country to enter the 1944 additions, according to an an- nouncement by Wilfred Pelletier. maestro of the radio program which features the additions.
 The girl, Patrice Munsel, is a coloratura soprano, from Spokane, Wash, and won one of the $1,000 prizes in the additions sponsored by Sherwin- Williams last year. s. Hurok, noted concert manager, has signed her to a contract guarantee ing her $120,000 for concert ap- pearanceS in the next three years. She has yet to make her debut at the Metropolitan Opera, but since she now has ten major roles in her repertory now, the Metropolitan management is hoping that she will prove one of the surprises of the coming season.
 Her success has caused a record number of hopefuls to write to the Metropolitan Additions Committee, for entry blanks for preliminary additions. This search for singing stars, sponsored this season for the ninth consecutive year by Sherwin- Williams, worlds largest makers of paints and varnishes, guarantees one or more young singers an en- gagement at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
 Due to the constant urging of minimum travel by the Office of De- fense Transportation and the Office of Price Administration, no addi- tional out of town additions will be held this year, following the suc- cessful series of additions in Chi cago just completed, in which more than l00 singers from Illinois, Wis consin. Iowa, South Dakota, h. diana, Michigan and Ohio. were heard. But the weekly Tuesday and Wednesday preliminary additions will continue until February. the additions committee has announced. Singers are chosen at these pre- liminary additions for the broad cast additions which will be heard, beginning Sunday, November 28 at 4:30 D. m,, EWT., over the Blue network.
 The Sherwin- Williams Company announces that the judges who will select the final winners heard on the broadcasts will include Edward Johnson, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera Association. Edward Zeigler and Earle Lewis, as- sistants to the general manager: pr John Erskine. a director of the Met ropolltan Opera and Wilfred Pel- letter, Metropolitan Opera maes- tro and conductor of the radio or chestra which will be heard on the broadcasts with the auditionists,

PORTRAIT OF A MAN WITH {
 HAMMER

The biggest victory In the war so far was achieved by the Mos- COW officials who coined this sen- tence: Those German officers and men and members of the Nazi party who have been responsible for or have taken a consenting part in the above atrocities, massacres and executions will be sent back to the countries in which their aboTninable deeds were done in order that they may be judged and punished ac- cording to the laws of these hber- ated countries and of the free gov ernmentS which will be erected therein" The best word in the ruling is "consenting". That means all the guilt won't be shuffled off onto Hitler and the Nazi suicides, who are a cinch to blow thelr scrambled brains out when Ger many's licking becomes official {. A lot of military murderers are counting on repudiation of the Nazi party to excuse their crimes when peace comes That's why all those stories are trickling out of Der Slaughterland on how the army hates the Fuehrer. The Ger man army hates only a loser.
 But there will have to be more punishment than sending the honicidal maniacs to the gallows and to jail. Somebody's got to pay for their destruction and rebuild the town and cities they have burned and blasted out of existence. They can't restore the lives of their victims, but much of their destruc- ton can be repaired. Because there's an angle to their wrecking methods, as Fletcher Pratt points out. The Nazis are whipped and they know it They figure that the same old softies will be in charge of things as ruled after the last war when they escaped with their worthless hides. The sentiment, they hope, will be: "Oh, well, we've won the war 90 let's bet merciful' The old business -aS-usual drivel.
 Figuring that way, they want to ruin all the competition for Ger man business. They go through the conquered countries, smashing the factories, the railroads, the water works, the schools and colleges '. |. That leaves a lot of work for the citizens, leaving them too busy to revive business. The machinery and materials the Ratzis stole will give them a head start on their victims, they plan So right away, while the people of the invaded lands are still bleeding from their war wounds, Germany figures to fatten its mar kets, feed it's people and pile up some savings to arm themselves the next time the world gets too sleepy to care . It's all part of the Hit Ter plan. He has said that if Ger many goes down to defeat, it'll take the rest of Europe along.
 It doesn't have to be that way if the victors are tough The best way to knock Hitler's scheme in the head would be to copy his tactics. He enslaved labor in the invaded lands. Right now there are
