Soldiers Using School Grounds
As Lovers Lune,' Citizens Told

The grounds Of Jefferson Junior
High School have become something
akin to a lovers lane, members of
the Southwest Citizens Association
were told at their meeting last
night.
But more than that, homeward
bound soldiers and their girls are
leaving cigarette butts, pop bottles
and other debris behind them, Hugh
Smith, principal of the school, said
when he told of the incidents.
Moreover, soldiers and their girls
aren't the only offenders. During
the summer months families in the
neighborhood have found it conven-
lent to have picnics and watermelon
feasts on the grounds, usually leav-
ing the watermelon rinds there.
To put an end to these conditions
the association passed a resolution
asking for fence or hedge around
the grounds and for some shrubbery
to be planted And they also asked
that sidewalk be built in front of
the school.
Other resolutions asked that
class A liquor license be denied a
store at Seventh and G streets
SW., and that Anthony Bower play

until dusk.

Accommodation of war prisoners

ers in this country by Dec. 81, 1943,
anG possibly $4,000 by June 30.
To meet this anticipated burden,
the army asked an appropriation
of S27l 100000 for pay, clothing,
subsistence, and recreation for war
prisoners, and S83,0O0,O00 additional
for housing.
The Unexpectedly early collapse
of italian resistance was believed
to be the chief reason why the
number Of prisoners is lower than
the total for which plans were
made.
In the PAST three months, fewer
than 10000 prisoners have arrived
from across the Atlantic. Relatively
few prisoners. it was understood,
have been taken since the fall of
Sicily About $4,000 Germans have
been captured in Italy, and it was
believed most of them have been

Mr.. Roosevelt said on the very

it was fitting to proclaim again
our determination that none who

villains shall go unpunished.
That warning applies not only
to the leaders, but also to their
functionaries and subordinates in
Germany and in the satellite coun-
tries" Mr. Roosevelt said.
"All who knowingly take part in
the deportation of Jews to their
death in Poland or Norwegians and
French to their death in Germany
are equally guilty with the execu-
toner. All who share the guilt
shall share the punishment"
Mr.. Roosevelt called on every
German and every man everywhere

the world by his action that in his
heart he does not share these in.

we have got to hazard all and give
our lives that others may enjoy

the world has ever seen.'
How long will the pull last?"
