STENCIL FROM POTATOES

Usually we had two or three
potatoes. They were small ones
that were unfit for ordinary use
because they had been frozen.
When cooked. they were black.
But We were so hungry that we
even ate the Feelings.
In the evening we got another
bowl of the thin soup, and three
pieces Of black bread
II wasn't very nourishing
diet especially since we were
compelled 10 do hard labor. Only
those Of us with rugged consti-
tutonS were able OF stand II very
long.
and yet rs I fell into the
routine of life at Ravcnshruck, I
soon discovered that the food The
cold and the inadequate clothing
were minor hardShlps compared
with some of the others the Nazis
had thought up for Us.

We were housed in wooden
barracks. which were never

days.
For beds we had wooden
hunks, constructed in tiers Of
three. with so little head room
that it was impossible to sit up.
The hunks, theoretically, had
mattresses of straw. Actually
there was so little straw that
it was like sleeping on bare
boards.
For cover We had one thin
blanket each.

pressing weeks since last fall with
go1d mines coming into life and
numerous industrial leaders suf-
1erlag principally from neglect.
The gold department was buoy
ca by publication of postwar in

proposals. Thoughts of possible
important war developments over
the weekend, however, kept
many customers in neutral ground

The market suffered its widest
break Tuesday On better-than-
milllon-share turnover. Customers
scurried to safety as invasion ner-
vousness was accentuated by the
British move in "quarantining"
all neutral diplomats. There. was
further dip Wednesday with &C.
tivity tapering. Investment de-
mand came to the rescue Thurs
day and Friday when modest ad-
vances predominated on a sharp
drop in volume. Timid reinstate-
ment of commitments here and
there was attributed to the belief
selling had been overdone and that
the market may have discounted
any unsettlement which would &C
