8 4ewspaperman, and always a packer of wrong horses, including the latep rime minister and appeas- CT, Neville Chamberlain.
 Since that time a sizeable part of the House of Commons has been bombed out of existence by the baron's countrymen, and Herr Baron has been busy in Portugal. His business is Hitler'S business - dirty business. There was the case of an American army officer at- tached to the American embassy in London and on his way nome to report to his superiorS in Washing ton.
 He arrived at the Palace Hotel in Estoril one evening in the spring of the year before Hitler declared war against the United States. He was in normal good health that evening. The next evening he was dead.
 The cause of death was glven e cerebral hemmorhage. It may have been 90. But you hear in Estoril that the American on1cer ate something which disagreed with him.
 DID THE BARON ...2
 It Is cruel to suggest that the baron had hand in such an affair, but how about the eight tough guys and the blonde fraulein? Perhaps nobody ever told them that 1t is impolite to knock oK c citizen in Q dark street or slip him 6 poisoned fish at lunch, The baron would be appalled, at the suggestion that he might take part in such activities. Of course he might have made a suggestion. Until lately, a mere word from the baron has been po- tent in Portugal - potent and lethal.
 The baron, at 60 or more, plays a sound game of golf and surprising game of tennis, in, addition to his other games. There is the one with the So-called International Police, a self-contained Portuguese police force which controls the movements of all foreigners, concerns itself with counter-revolutionary activi- l bACop hAA0 cAhOus0 UC b1AC btIOkiBSoL buttress of its native land. Many of its officers were trained in Gestapo schools in Germany. Its tenden- cies are in the direction of the to- talitarian state. Won Rheinbaben has not encountered too many ob- stacles.
 Whether the baron's retirement to the hills was the result of his own sound political instinct, or whether 1t resulted from the gen. eral order concerning the activities of Germans in Portugal is not im- portant. The fact remains that where he was the principal German showpiece he now works under cov- CT. Anybody who wants to see him must go to the villa up and away beyond the casino and the luxury hotels. Tn common with others of his kind in this country, the bounce, the arrogance and the certainty of victory seem to have gone out of him.

ii ARMY MEN
 FIGHT MALARIA
 GERM IN JUNGLE

Somewhere in New Guinea, March 3l-(UP)-Three officers and eight enlisted men of the U. S. Army are fighting millions of the enemy in 8 corrugated iron shack deep in the jungle.
 The enemy, in this case, is the malaria germ that causes SO many casualties among soldiers fighting in the southwest Pacific area. The headquarters is an improvised lab- oratory where are kept countless malaria-carrying anopheles mos quitoes and dysentery-bearing flies for research purposes.
 The men supervising the fight over this jungle enemy are It. Col. Francis E. Council of Windom, Tex. {; Capt. c. A. Armbrust of San An- tonic, Tex, and First It. Austin J. Corbett of New York City.
 Like a Blast Furnace
 Working in the shack is like hug ging 8 blast furnace. It is heated by the tropic sun, kerosene heaters and steaming caldrons of water. The workers prepare special media in which various germs will thrive.
 Germs are incubated in jars like hothouse flowers until they are ready for conservation in sterile phials. In less than six months this research staff has examined, identified and cultivated million germs associated with malaria and dysentery.
 They have modern scientific equipment for their work but lack animals for experimentation. Each member of the group Specializes in his own field.
 Each One a Specialist
 Armbrust supervises bacteriology, chemistry and parasitology. Corbett has charge of henratology, serologY and bacteriology.

 London, March 31-(UP)-Finland is on a starvation diet that may force her out of the war soon.
 Her state is no better than that of some of the occupied countries in Europe. Germany has failed to deliver promised food and war-born problems are expressing the Finnish people.
 Personal observation and inter- views with Finnish officials convince this correspondent that if this sort of thing goes on in Finland much longer, the nations ability to re- sist will be undermined and Ger many will lose valuable, if small, ally.
 The Finnish meat ration is down to 10 cents worth a month. That's about four sausages-wken they're obtainable. There's enough milk for babies under year old and enough fish for everyone at times. But those times are the only bright spots in the blackest kind of picture.

 There is black market but only the very rich can patronize it. Taxes are five times the pre-war level and even if a restaurant is able to put fair meal on the table. the average Finn couldn't pay for it.
 Americans probably waste more under their present rations than the

 Lisbon, March 3i-The baron is gone from tho lobby of the Palace Hotel. Estoril. He no longer plays host in a white dinner jacket in the blue and gold dining room of the portuguese Monte Carlo. You do not see him in the casino placing Q stock of i0-escudo chips on number einht at the roulette table. His beau- tifully tailored (English tweeds from saville Row) figure has disappeared from this pleasant landscape.
 They miss the baron at the Palace Hotel. He gave such beautiful parties and you should have seen him kiss a lady's handl Likewise absent are the eight tough guys and the blonde fraulein with the ice cold eyes and bitter mouth. They are in eclipse. LIKE vON PAPEN
 The baron is Baron von Rhein- baben, a second edition of Franz von Papen. Hitler's trouble shooter in Turkey, the man who paved the way for Naz power in the Reich. Tine baron is not unlike von Papen in appearance-the same soldierly figure, same grey mustache, same handsome grey hair, same Prussian blue eyes.
 Until American and British forces invaded North Africa, Baron von Rhelnbaben was somebody in Por- tugal; there were some who thought he was almost everybody. He held the skeins Of the tenuous Naz spiderweb in his two capable hands. So long as the war went in the di- rection Hitler proposed, the Herr Baron was 6 skillful, tricky manipu- lator. His sense of timing was acc Clirate. He knew when to invite cer- tain laides and gentlemen of the Portuguese commercial aristocracy Co dine and when to send one of the eight tough guys out with a loaded stick.
 The baron has not gone from Portugal, he is merely out of sight. He lives these days with two ser- wants in Q smal stucco villa on the heights overlooking Estoril and the blue water of the sea. Somewhere at hand is the blonde fraulein-com- panion, secretary and probable Ges. tapo agent. The eight tough guys are nowhere to be seen.
 Somebody who writes spy thrillers could use the baron. He Is something ready-made out of that type of flc- ton. A bunker of the old East Prussian school, llnguist, career diplomat, ruthless or yielding as the occasion requires.

War-Born Problems
 Headache For Films
Germany Fails to Deliver Promised Food; Meat Ration
 Reduced to 20 Gents Worth Month

Films get. Bread, for instance, is limited to eight ounces per day per adult but only one ounce of that can be wheat bread and stores 20 for days without having any at all to sell.
 Other basic products aren't on the shelves for long periods.
 The coffee ration TInland's ''co6ee" contains about IS per cent of the real thing) is eight ounces per month but sometimes the monthly ration period is extended to several months. This happens for other foodstuffs.
 The monthly tobacco ration is eight weak cigarets a month. For smokers, Finland allows 24 ounces of sugar or syrup Q month; non- smokers get two pounds, three ounces. The Films are giving up smoking.
 The ration of dried fruit is eight ounces per period. The period usual ly lasts four months or so. Egg, pork, nuts, macaroni, rice, preserv- ed meat, cocoa, fried peas and beans beans can't be bought in the cities. There is a severe shortage of medi- cineS.
 Babies under year get about Q liter, a little less than 8 quart, of milk per day and adults Q fifth as much. There is no milk problem in the country but city deliveries are inadequate. Butter and cheese are rationed jointly at IS ounces a month. The cheese contains only 30 per cent of its normal fats per centage.
 And as Finland's appetite for food grows, its war appetite wanes.

our men preparing for inspection.
Yes, Col. Bush and Col Lyons
made an inspection of the units
here at Huachuca which are as
signed to the Third Army. 1t was a
very successful inspection and the
officers were pleased with the ap-
pearance of our area. Keep up the
good work!
Last week the 373rd gave evidence
that truck drivers make as good a
shot as any other soldier. We spent

Letters to the Editor
A Soldier Writes:

Editors Note): The follow
ing letter was received from a
soldier who evidently has been
doing some serious thinking in
regard to his attitudes toward
1 the Army and toward life in
general. Because such contribu-
tions may be of help to other
soldiers in formulating war
time philosophy we pass it on
to our readers.
Dear Editor:
The Army presents a test to many
men One can test himself with men
from such places as farms, indus
trial plants, politics. professional
fields, and practically every field OF
life. Inasmuch as we have no choice
about being in the Army, while in it
we should use the opportunity thus
presented for broadening our knowl-
edge through our fellow man, men
whom we contact every day.
In addition to contacts with other
men of varied backgrounds, the
Army offers many phases of training
that will be of great significance to
many after the war is over. Engi-
neering, electrical work, radio, tele-
graph and administration, as we'll as
work in the medical units, offer
great opportunities. 1t is of impor-
tance that one take seriously the
chance to advance in one or more
of these fields. AS opportunities for
such advancement have been linn
tied in the past, it is to the advan-
tage of every soldier to grasp the
opportunities which are at present
open to him.
The Army will teach most men
discipline. Discipline not only makes
one subordinate himself to the well
fare of his company and country,
but also impels self discipline, the
control of ones desires and emo
tions. 1t is not only indispensable
to troops and teams, but is an asset
to anyone who wants to make real
progress.
Thoughts can sometimes get the
best of men. Men with positive
thoughts will be able to say: 81 am
a soldier and a man. In the tesv
that lie ahead I shall not be found
WdI1OA1l6 III NOQ1 dSC VI oEAAA' OOAASA
men with negative thoughts will
say: "I have nothing to offer the
I Army and the Army has nothing
to offer me-" Which type of man
do you think will make worthwhile
contributions toward his country's
victory or toward his own progress?
AS for myself, feel that am in
a world of many opportunities. I live
to learn. and with the will to do, I
have faith and confidence that will
pull through. I am constantly pray
ing and hoping that the prayers of
our many friends will help to end
the conflict in this world of ours
and that after this is all over it will
be better place in which to live. In
this dark period am looking for
ward to brighter times. Those times
will come if it is Gods will.
