WITH AMERICAN FORCES AT
BALLEROY, France. July 3.-One
OF the strangest battlefield scenes
in the invasion Of France occurred
yesterday in No-Mans Land near
here when eight German nurses
captured in Cherbourg were re-
turned to the enemy lines.
For 30 minutes the guns stopped
roaring, snipers held their fire and
the mortars were silent while two
ambulances and a jeep rolled down
the lonely road between the lines.
A few hundred yards beyond Cau-
mont the procession stopped and
Capt. Quentin Roosevelt, son of
Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt, and
Capt. Fred Ghercke stepped out.
They were met by two German
oficers who had party Of enlisted
men we'll to their rear. The enemy
officers saluted stiffiy.
One said in English, Its a very
hot day, isn't it?"
Yes, it is." Capt. Roosevelt an
swered.
And then the German nurses
climbed from the ambulance and
walked down the road to the Ger
man lines. The German officers
saluted formally, wheeled and
walked away.
A few minutes later the guns be-
gan booming again.
Army Glad to Return Nurses.
So far as is known here, this is
the first time in the war that Ger
man women have been returned to
the enemy. There was no effort at an
exchange because the Germans
never have captured any American
nurses.
This was not an act of chivalry
on the part of the Americans. AS a
matter of fact, the Army was glad
to be rid of the eight women, who
would be only a minor nuisance if
held and no one saw any reason
why they should be detained since
they were noncombatants.
They were captured in an enemy
hospital at Cherbourg, but as soon
as the Americans were able to
handle the enemy wounded they
were brought to rear area and
were started to get
them back to their own people.
They ranged in age from 80 to So.
The eldest nurse was a veteran of
the World War when she served in

Prominent Persons
Among Victims Of
Nazi Flying Bombs
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July Styling bombs
have killed Maj. Gen. Sir Arthur
Scott, retired; his wife, Aimee Byng
novelist, and Sir Percy Alden, for
years prominent in the campaign
against slums, it was disclosed to-
day as the Germans resumed rocket
bomb attacks on Southern England
after brief post-midnight lull.
Gen. Scott. 81, began his army
career in 1881 and retired in 1920
He became major general in the
World War, commanding the royal
artillery of the Sd Army and later
serving as general officer command
ing the 18th EASTERN Division. He
had served in South Africa and
commanded the Lucknow Division
in India from 1918-1920.
Sir Percy. 70. was secretary and
treasurer of the Sulgrave Manor
board and had lectured in the
United States on labor and social
problems He was the author of
publications dealing with the un-
employed, the unemployable, hous-
ing and other social problems.
One flying bomb hit house, kill
ing a mother and five Of her nine
children.
Regular Planes Also Attack.
Besides the new hail of rocket
bombs the Germans also made scat
tered raids by regular aircraft.
The controlled Paris
radio identified Plymouth and Ports
mouth as the principal targets of
the robot blitz, and said both cities
had suffered heavy damage.
First English reports said a large
general store had been hit in one
area and several adjoining buildings
had been wrecked A number of
casualties was recorded in that area.
Shortly after daylight one flying
bomb blasted a row of stores and
dwellings in another area, also caus-
ing numerous casualties.
There was considerable speculation
On what Prime Minister Churchill
might say in the House of Commons
tomorrow. 1t is generally expected
he will give frank report on the
flying bombs, coupled with a pointed
reminder that the Germans will be
duly brought to account for these
lndiscriminate attacks.
Nazi Offer Spurned.
The British press expressed the
belief the assaults served only to
Stiffen British resolution and-as the
London Daily Mail put ito hard
en- hearts always disposed to be soft
toward beaten enemy"
A German radio offer to end the
robot attacks if the Allies stop bomb
ing Germany met only defiance here.
The London Daily Sketch COM
mented:
Such insolence calls for a reply.
We have been patient, but the time
has now come when the German
nation should be made to realize
that we have the power to retaliate
An ever-growing power"
: One German radio commentator
declared the flying bombs were
being turned out without pause by
German factories, and said the Nazis
have "a tremendous number of these
dynamite meteors"
There is no known method for
defense against them" he boasted.

French Jam 1heater
In War Benefit After
Nazi Films
~ HAL BOYLE,

Associated Press war Correspondent.
BALLEROY, France, July IA
month ago only German Army
movies were shown In the little
theatsr adjoining the Balleroy town
hall-and no Frenchman worthy Of
the name would be seen there.
But yesterday . strange assem-
blage Of khaki-clad soldiers and VII
layers dressed in their Sabbath best
crowded into the tiny room to At
tend . benefit concert for war VIC
Tins.
Cannonading only . few miles
away shook the old gray stone build
ing, but no lines Of fear showed in
the faces Of dignifled grandmothers
in black or little girls in filmy pink
who competed for the honor OF sit
ting In laps Of the gum and candy
wealthy American soldiers.
Even though We are still in reach
OF enemy artillery We are glad to
show our appreciation for your com
ing by this concert" said Mayor
Pierre Gauthier, a, who served as q
noncom at the start of the World
War and was . prisoner for four
years after his capture by the Ger
mans in 1914.
Eighty Cents for Tickets.
I'VE have waited four years for
you to arrive and We are very happy
to have you here" he said.
Front-row honor seats were re-
served for the Marquis de Balleroy
and his daughter, whose chateau
overlooking the town was reouisi-
TONED by the Germans As a milf
tary hospital.
AS French workmen and their
wives. wearing their threadbare best.
passed the ticket office and paid 20
FRANCISCO cents-for benefit tickets
and that's stable chunk Of their
lncome-the village doctor, Pierre
Couedic, said the town had escaped
being caught in the battle such as
has almost leveled some Normandy
towns In recent weeks.
Two bombs which shook the
Germans out Of their headquarters
on the outskirts of town cost five
civilian lives" he said. "and that
was all our casualties except for one
wounded by a shell which struck in
town. 1t was miracle we were
spared"
Shooing small children about like
chickens was the venerable village
priest. Father Caillobotte, a leader
IN organizing the concert. He
brought his Sunday school class
along to sing
U. S. Soldiers Enthusiastic.
When the concert began. $50 per-
sons-more than a fourth of the
towns population were crowded
into the room
And there on tiny stage, flanked
by the Union Jack and the American
nag. amid a hush broken only by
the rumble Of guns and the crack of
shellbursts, the girls and children of
Balleroy sang in honor of their
friends and Allies-soldiers of Brit
ain and America. They sang light
songs of France, concert numbers
and religious lyrics and no group of
entertainers ever had a more en-
thusiastic audience than the Ameri-
can troops in the front rows.
This is a return concert for the
recital Sergt. Leslie Bartal, former
piano instructor at Names. Music
t6chooa IN New York City. gave fol
the townfolk last week." said Capt
Ralph w. Bell, Bedford, Ohio
former Cleveland attorney. They
NQnted to show their appreciation
and they really made a thing of it
Last month the Germans couldn't I
get Frenchmen In here with q free
show, and look at this turnout"

Story.
For years Detroit's municipality owned and
operated university has followed this plan. Last
year. Is per cent. $500 full time students were
taking part in II.
WORK AT JOBS
Under the supervision of professionals, they
work at dozens of Jobs. Home economics stu
dents are learning dietetics in hotels and cafe
terias. Prospective teachers are looking after
children in nursery schools and teaching them IN
the city schools.
Counselors and vocational teachers are
working in factories TO gain experience which will
enable them to advise their pupils intellgently.
Nurses and medical techncians of tomorrow are
learning their art in the city's best hospitals
Future social service workers are employed
in the offices of the Council of Social Agencies
and similar civic organizations.
Engineers both male and female, are getting
diversified training in the Dodge-Chrysler plants.
AIM OF TRAINING
'It's the schools aim TO utilize all the edu-
catonal facilities that the city Affords" explained
Warren E. Bow, superintendent of Detroit schools
and president OF Wayne.
This does not mean merely the academic
facities-it means the civic and social agencies,
the factories, stores hotels. restaurants and hos
pitfalls. In fact, all the institutions where students
can he trained by working at some phase OF the
job which they intend to perform after they
graduate from college"
JOB SET UPS
In practice there is great variety in the
administration of the 10 cooperative set ups now
operating. Some students get paid for their
work Others get nothing but experience and
the knowledge that they making contribu-
ton to the community.
Some work short hours Others work regu-
lar shifts in war plants. Some perform simple
tasks Others do work of full professional caliber.
"Our main task at Wayne In promoting work
study Is to increase the amount of supervision
and correlation SO that educational benefits of
work are planned and positive and not indirect
and casual" explains DR.. David D. Henry, execu-
tive vice president of the university.

FUTURE FARMING

Farm officials tell us that the
American farmer will have a mar
ket far greater than their ability
to supply it, for at least five years
after the war. So this could
answer the question raised among
some Kennewick farmers as to the
need Of reduction of crops. There
are those around us who will
recall the conditions after World
War ! when for years the farmer
took it on the chin, as they were
then producing a record level fol
crops up to that time. And we
well know of our new records fol
crops for this war and we are
supposed to do even better fol
1914. There are some leaders who
ask if it wouldn't be wiser tc
plan for the reduction before an.
other collapse and again have an
agricultural depression. The argu-
ment against retrenching is that
if we can believe the present
hopes for the future world al
peace, that in order to keep q
world free from want, American
farmers will continue to carry on
a>large scale harvesting. Also il
it be true the conditions will be
so that more people having higher
wages will be wanting more food,
nations who have never had suf-
ficient food will be provided. Of
ficials predict that thousands of
new farms will take care of the
demand. And it all provides us in
Kennewick with food for further
thought.

EATING FEATHERS

liza 44N1 xI<1A 4AA1ASsS 49,.
Milkweed has produced fiber
that has brought about the manu-
facture of articles that could not
have been possible otherwise, since
the pod yields kapok-ike fuzz.
Numerous discoveries that neces-
sity invents, and facts concern
ing some of them, are not only
interesting but astounding. Take
feathers for instance. Feathers
are found to make splendid ma
terial for plastics, bomber noses,
fiber board insulation, sound
proofing, lining for aviation jack
cts, sleeping bags and pillows. In
research they have found also
that a pound of feathers contains
as much protein as five pounds OF
round steak! Now, if some wise
acre could come along and find
way to m axe feathers digesti-
ible-look at the meat solution.
Didn't a Kennewick man remark
that they used everything about
the pig but the squeal? Now all
of the chicken but the cluck.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-01-20

AS we view the strike situation
in this country we do not believe
that workers in any group should
take advantage of the critical stu
alton that faces the country to
force concessions to their demands.
Wages in some instances may not
be as high as they are in other
groups, but we doubt if there is
any instance> in which they are
low enough to cause hardships and
sacrifice. We believe the attitude
Of the present administration to-
ward labor is such that it would
not hesitate over increasing wages
if increases were necessary and
justified. It doesn't seem to us
to measure up in the matter of
sacrifice or patriotism to the sac
rifices being made by our men on
the firing line. This is no time
for selfishness at home. Rather
should we be vieing with each
other in the effort to be as good
patriots as are our soldiers fighting
thousands Of miles from home and
friends in jungles and deserts and
swamps. We are all in this to-
gether and should be willing to
sacrifice together.
