By JAMES THRAsHER NEA stan Correspondent

New York, Dec. 1--Three newly returned war photographers were sitting in the office of NEA Serv- ice and Acme News-pictures in New York, waiting to have their pictures taken. They had brought along their own bgck-drop. huge Nazi battleflag, picked up in the course of assignments that had talk en them from Sicily to Southern France, and from Normandy to Aachen. Naturally, somebody asked how it felt to be back.
 "Well," said Charles Seawood, q had just sat down in a Miami restaurant when heard these three waitresseS taking. I turned to the fellow with me and said, Hey, they speak Englishl' I'd for- gotten l was home"
 When left for overseas a man at the port fenbarkation took my picture, and Red Cross girl gave me a doughnut," Bert Brandt said. When I gor back the same man took my picture, and the same girl gave me another dough- nut. That's how I've found every thing since-just as it always was"
 With me-" said Andrew Lopez, things were different. It was dark when I got home, and as soon as I stepped ous of the taxi a strange woman ran out of the house and threw her arms around me. backed away to take look and dis covered 1t was my wife. Shed been on a diet while was away and had lost 40 pounds"
 GERMANS NOT FANATIC"
 Then the talk turned to Europe, where Lopez, had spent eight months, Brandt, 16, and Seawood, a year and half, on assignment from NEA and Acme. It was talk that made listener realize aagin that much of the time there isn't such big difference between, cov- ering a war with q camera and fighting 1t was a gun.
 Lopez wears the urple Heart. He was wounded in France when a German bazooka shell exploded beside his jeep. A Reuters core spondent sitting beside him was killed. Lopez and the driver hid two days and nights, without food or drink, in a woods surrounded by Germans. Later, in trying to get back to their base, the driver was killed when FIT men and French gendarmes msitook them in the darkness for Germans.
 Brandt got the first D Day pie lures, and was in the thick of things from then on, with both the First and Third Armies. He also survived a jeep accident along with Hugh Baillic, president of

Three NEA-Acme War Photographers Compare Combat Diaries At Reunion

 Brandt said he nao one great disappointmen too. In Cherbourg he accompanied Maj. Gen. Manton Eddy to the apparently abandoned headquarters of the German Gen. von Schlieben. Then he hurried to get some pictures aboard 2 plane. returned to the headquarters to find While he was gone General Eddy that von Schclleben and an admiral had been in the basement all the time.
 So Brandt missed photograph ing this wars only instance of general coming out with his hands up to surrender to another gem eral.
 TALK OF EUROPE
 All three men agreed that the German soldiers gre still goods though there is a little fanatic" about their fighting when amrnr- hilton starts running low. And captured Germans are delighted to be under protection of Amer can MPs, they said, for they are terrified of the FITS vengeance.
 The Fifth Army is still fighting the same Germans who have op- posed them all the way through Italy, Seawood said, and fighting them for one mountain top after another through foul weather and terrain. Seawood said he saw thousands and thousands of American mules in Italy, but hadn't seen a German plane there since Anzio.
 What impressed the interview CT most was the international ac- count that these men, thrown di- rectly from civilian life into bat- tie areas, gave of their exposure to death and danger Tn equanirn- ity and undergtatement they ri- yaled the Brooklyn soldier whom Brandt told about. He was waist gunner on a bomber, and known to Brandt only as the Big Rus sian.
 One day the Big Russian, back from a mission over Germany, told of shooting down Messer- schmitt and watching the pilot bail out. Just as the parachute opened a piece of the plane fell on top of it and collapsed it.
 T looks out" said the Big Rus sian, "and I thinks to myself, Five miles down. That guy must be ample noiyous'."

in on the hill across the road from us. We set up our machine guns to cover the road and the bay ana posed guards in perimeter. There was a full moon and, believe me, l learned my lesson that night. II you stare long enough at trees and bushes, you can see verybody out there, including your Aunt Minnie.
 It's best to rely on hearing and just let the eyes roam. We were trigger happy and blasted away all night at trees that loomed like moving Japs. One lad at mach inc gun swore he saw JapS coming in small boats and blazed away. At one time admit shook like leaf. We laugh at that night now. but it wasn't funny then. It was a hor- rible nightmare.
 The next day the natives started coming back from the hills with tales of how the JapS had treated them. They were so hungry and said the Japs beat and slapped them. Many girls, some only 12 years old are pregnant with Jap babies. The natives knew we were coming and went Jap hunting. They are absolutely fearless and do quite bit of carving with their bolos. One surprised five Japs sleeping in the hills.
 On Sunday (October 22) we went through a good-sized town and were given a rouSing welcome-in fact 1t was like national holiday. For the next several days We were parked in a hot spot. The Jap zeros sought certain military in- stallations and by gosh. we were along the line of the bombing runs. To make their loads lighter so they could escape the Navy He'll cats, they dropped their bombs anywhere and we spent most of our time diving in and out of ditches, from which antics we have bruises and cuts galore.
 Zero Comes Head On
 At one time a Zero headed straight for us, although at high altitude. I saw a bomb come out of the planes bay about half a mile away and after figuring which way 1t was headed, high-tailed 1t in the opposite direction and dove into a ditch headfirst. It landed about 800 yards from the camp site.
 They came over on schedule sev- eral times each day - particularly at dawn and around p. m. We had grandstand seats for the dog fights and saw five Zeros plum netting to earth with smoke bil- lowing from the tails and the fellcats followed them right down with all guns blazing. You have no Idea how much satisfaction we got from that. They don't come over anymore because our land. based planes cover us like Q bian- ket and the P.3es are suicide for the Japs.
 Of much more annoyance to us than the Jap. is fighting nature Itself. Heat and files during tho day and ants and mosqultoeg at night. We aiI could stand about 4e hours Of solid sleep = on q dry bed. We're soaked all the time.
 That's oil for now, dear, As l have to get an airmnil envelope fl that's possible. Don't worry too much about me, dear, as feel quite safe. I'm going te come back 0 my precious iitils family. Ail my lsse.

FEDERAL HOUSING
 PLAN UNDECIDED
City Officials Reported Re- luctant to Assume Juris-
 dictiOnaI Responsibility

Only rneager possibilities of city authorities assuming jurisdictional administration of local federal hous- ing projects seem likely at this time, it was reported today to The Dem ocrat.
 Sources declared that members of the city Housing Authority and city officials generally favored continu- ed administration by federal au- thorities.
 The latter have sought to urge local officials to take title" to all federal housing projects. here = Hamilton Heights, Warner Gardens and the Porter tract-by means of plan whereby all such projects would be governed and supervised by local authority.
 The city is being paid the sum of $18,000 annually by the government in lieu of taxes.
 Under the federal proposal the city would collect rents, assume all responsibilities and pay the gov- ernment 8 certain share of the rents. Initial overtures made by federal authorities were viewed con- templatively here with negotiations at that time proceeding to point of agreement whereby the city would give full consideration to assump- ton of the projects once federal groups had made all necessary re- pairs and alterations to the satis- faction of subcommittee of the local Authority commission. Although this specification was met and compiled with, members of the committee and city officials now hold the view that it would be '1m- practical" to undertake local ad- ministration.
 Members of the commission have stated that assumption of such re- responsibilities not being mandatory, should not be saddled upon local officials so that the fullest freedom may be guaranteed for future needs of slum clearance, new local hous- ing, etc.
 Substantiation for opposition to assuming authority over these projects is to further be found in the fact that a sharp decline in tenancies. of some of the local prof. ects has been revealed.
 At the new Porter tract 126 units may never be occupied. Forty-four units there have been completed. There are 94 vacancies in the new 264-unit added to the Warner Gar dens project.
 SynonomouS with this is the Chamber of Commerce records re- vealing a sharp decline her in em- ployment figures.

they saw a photographer was pres ent they insisted on assuming inl- pressive statuesque poses for his benefit.
 What impressed them most? For Brandt it was the contrasts of war, and the mysteries of cigarettes and gasoline. In Belgium 40-minute ride from almost any point on the front would bring you to a town where night clubs were operating.
 As for cigarettes, the GIs didn't have them and diorl't like it. Yet you could buy popular brands in any Paris night club for 30 francs ($1.6O a package, while the sol- diers had to be content with cap tured Greman cigarettes and ci- gars, both of whcih are vile.

U. s. LAUNDR|ES PROMISE MOON-
 AFTER VICTORY
By JEANETTE OAKES United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press Stan CorrespOndentD
 Chicago, Dec. 1. CUP)-The na- tion's laundry industry, looking forward to postwar business that amounts to $500, 100000 annually, plans to make "the cleanest people in the world' even cleaner.
 George H. Johnson, manager, American Institute of Laundering, Joliet, Ill, said that the 4,000 home laundries, badly crippled by labor and equipment shortages, will face VIE Day, with complete pasteuri- zation of the entire family wash" from leather pillows to feminine fripperies.
 'Pasteurization, impossible at home, is a matter of normal routine,'' Johnson said. So com pletely scientific is the process that the final rinse water can be drunk" he added.
 Wait Cut in Half
 New war-developed equipment will speed up service, cutting the time between bundles almost in half, Johnson said. Advancement in mechanical equipment has re- duced manual operations almost 50 per cent, meaning that the housewife won't have to wait so long between deliveries, he said.
 A new flame-proofing service, developed after the fatal circus fire at Hartford, Conn, now used only for laundry from airlines, hospitals, hotels and government institutions, will be extended to the home bundle with its children's clothes, overalls, fireplace rugs and drapes, as soon as war restrictions are removed. The application of the flame-proof compound does not change the appearance, feel, or color, he said.
 Johnson told of "crime detec- ton" laboratory geared to handle the most stubborn stains and fab- ric hazards. The textile laboratory scientifically solves hundreds o1 baffling cases a year, ranging from tracing case of termiteS to i'm proving methods for handling deli cate synthetics.
 Typical of the cases sent tc Joliet was the naval officers uni form with 8 hole the size of g. half. a-dollar burned through the pocket Pests revealed that the burn wasn't caused by the laundry but by the corrosive action of potas' sium permanganate, purlish crys. tals carried to treat foot infec' tion.
 Special Services Again
 "The laundry, the who-done-it victim, was cleared,' Johnson said.
 Eighty-f1ve per cent of the na. tions laundries belong to the In stitute and Johnson suggested that the housewife, when faced with difficult stain in her best table cloth, or new materials seemingly allergic to soap and water, bundle up her problem and get professional advice.
 As soon as conditions permit the family laundry again will give special attention to sweater block. ing on scorchproof tables, blanket washing in special frictionless wash. CTS, and ruffle fluting, Johnson said
 But until the war is won, lineni for the armed forces and man power for combat take precedence Our boys write back, however, tha in their travels all over the globe they have decided America is thu cleaneSt nation on earth"
