ANN HARDING TAKING REST
 FROM MOVIES
Has Given Up Rdn1hing for Durati0n-Moves 10
 Beverly Hills
By ROBBIN CooNs

HOLLYWOOD--Miss Ann Hard ing. who to these eyes is the truly beautiful woman of the movies, is enjoying a well-earned rest from the slings and arrows of outrageous and pitiless scenario-writers.
 Miss Harding is not suffering nobly bearing her woes in silence, nor giving her all with her chin held high. She is not protecting the weak, taking the rap for another's sin, nor paying the piper proudly for her own.
 She is merely being her natural, gracious self, with no burden on her frail, feminine shoulders other than the smart suits, gowns and furs which would have been worn by the wife of the former U. s. am- bassador to Russia-Mrs Joseph E. Davies.
 This stroke of fortune is due, of course, to the fact that for the first time Miss Harding is playing real-life, living character, one who is frequent visitor on the set where her husbands book, Mis- sion to Moscow" is being filmed. Scenarists who tested the depths of the Harding capacity for nobil- ity and suffering in her earlier films like "Eoliday," Devotion, , and East Lynne must hew to the line in dealing with realities.
 And so Miss Ann Harding gets her holiday from woe
 Miss Harding with her classic pro- file and ash-blonde hair, is mak- ing no more attempt to look like Mrs. Davies, who is beautiful also, than Walter Huston is making to look like the former ambassador
 T think there's been a mistake in casting" she says. T think MT. and Mrs. Davies should be playing themselves-they're both charming But I'm playing the role as Mrs. Davies described it: an ambassador wife is a background figure. She is pleasant and agreeable, a good hostess and a pleasant guest. I say How do you do?' a great many times-I'm trying to use different infections on it." She laughs; I'm afraid it's bit part, really. MT. Huston and I go through the story observing lot of fine acting by other peope, but we ourselves don't have much to do"
 Miss Harding. in gay good spirits, is living close to Hollywood again. For the duration, at least, she has given m the idvllic ranchinp life

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 a month,
are prepared in the office of the
quartermaSter general. Substitu-
tons may be made from a 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. 1t is men,
toned that the men leave their
plates clean.
The administration of each prison
camp follows well-established pat
tern. A typical prison camp, for ex-
ample, housing 5000 prisoners, re-
quires the services of SOC 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
err is assisted in administering his
company by enlisted members of
the army of the United States, in
Guiding a first sergeant, a 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
49,
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 can
not be placed in the custody of a
civilian, and it is impracticable to
send 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 a 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 a 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 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
engagements 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.
Sports and Reading Rooms.
Facilities for recreation are pro-
vided at all of the camps. Equip
ment supplied by the war depart
ment is supplemented in many cases
by gifts from private organizations.

Numerous wholesome odors that

or permeate the air of large areas
are produced by the present or

perfumes and the favors of fine
tobacco, butter and cheeses; also
the smells of the sea beach, a
wood in winter, a newly titled field
and the earth after a rain.

Prisoners of War Are Held in II 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 &C.
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 ad-
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 e. Japa-
nese are confined at Camp Mccoy,
Wis. (See map.)
Room for Sc. 900 in CamnS
The present capacity of these
camps is stated as approximately
5000. Present camps will be ex-
banded, and new ones established
as needed, the war department
says. Most prison camps are locat-
ed within army camps.
The commanding officer of the
army installation is also the COM
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
handing general of the service COM
mand area.
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
