boy or the ofncer who has put in i any time at all in this country and he will tell you that his first and almost his only desire Is to go home. Not that he dislikes the Icelanders. He is crazy about them-what little of them he has been permitted to see.
 There have been something less than 100 marriages between Ice landic girls and American soldiers. Some of the brides have gone to the States to be with their new relatives-in-law. Most of the others will follow their husbands home when the war is over. It is doubt full if any Americans will decide to settle down here, much as they love the country and its people.
 What happens to the facilities installed by the two occupying countries Is subject to settlement. The thousands of Nissen hutS and temporary shelters, gun emplace- mentS and similar defense works scattered all over the island can be removed or abandoned. More permanent works of possible peace time use, such as the airportS and landing fields, pose another ques- ton.
 DECLARED INDEPENDENCE That question was brought into new prominence during the visit to Iceland of party of American newspapermen brought here as guests of the Army Air Transport Command, to see at first hand what air operations in this theater have been. All these activities have been highly restricted up to this time, as have the operations of the Ice land Base Command of ground forces under Maj. Gen. William s. Key.
 While the American correspond- ents were in the Icelandic capital, first public announcement was made of the torpedoing of neutral Ice landic merchant vessel few days before. The ship sank in four min- uteS and 24 lives were lost, there being only 19 survivors. Indignation ran high in the country as details of the sinking were made known, and 1t emphasized Iceland's pre- carious position all over again.
 The little country Is now a stra- tegic cross roads for commerce by air and sea. Last summer it de- clared its independence from Den mark, which was powerless to offer it protection. But Iceland itself cannot resist occupation by any major power that wants to move in on it as an aggressor nation.
 In this situation Iceland and all
 small nations similarly situated look for any promise of postwar security on which they may lean They are studying carefully the proposals for an United Nations or i ganization, drafted at ,Dumbarton Oaks. Receiving the American press representatives, Prime Minister Olafur. Thors expressed the belief that it offers the smaller nations hope for the protection that they need.

Reyjkavik, Iceland, Dec. 1.-- Every once in a while some Amer ican Statesman" gets up on his hind legs and makes speech to the effect that the great United States government ought to take over all these Atlantic-or Pacif1c-bases and keep them flor good"
 Whenever that happens, the peo- pie of the little countries like Ice land have 10 kinds of duck fits.
 Consider the position of the Ice flanders on this proposition. All they wanted was to stay neutral and have the quarrelsome Europeans let them alone. Yet with population of less than 140,000-not more than in any one of 100 or more good-sized Amer ican cities-the Icelanders are in no position to raise an army to defend themselves and don't want to be bothered having to do it.
 So in May 194O when the British occupied the island just one jump ahead of the Germans, there was reluctant acceptance of a bad sit- uation but no cheering. And when the British found the going in Europe tough in the summer of 194l the Icelanders, fearing the worst. invited the United States to came in as protectors. AS the United States moved in, the British moved out.
 There are still British forces, particularly air forces, operating from the island, but they are in

 Temperatures of IA degrees were recorded at Kansas iCty, Chicago, Detroit and other midwestern cities, during the night while sub-freezina temperatures were forecast for to- day throughout the east.
 The warmest temperature in the nation was registered in Arizona where the thermometer hovered in the seventies. Sixty degree tempera- lures were recorded along the gulf and in southern Florida.
 In Chicago, the temperature was expected to fall to IS degrees to- day.

Dutch Baby Polls Gestopo
By EDWARD V. ROBERTS

By EDWAHD ". kOBEKTS United Press War Correspondent
 With Ninth Army in Holland, Nov. 30 = (UPO = Underground work CTS disclosed today how chubby checked, two-year-old Dutch boy used the first two words his father taught him to foil Gestapo agents.
 The father was a famed under ground leader with a price on his head. During the occupation he kept eecstantly on the move and could visit his wife and baby only by stealth.
 During these visits he taught the baby the first two words he ever spoke = Daddy dead"
 A week before the nberators came, 35 GeStapo agents made a last ef- fort to trap the leader. They Sur- rounded the house and seized the wife and little boy.
 For more than an hour the agents, each notorious for acts of cruelty. gathered around the child. They gave him candy, bounced him on their knees and attempted to enter tain him with stories.
 Then one agent put e soft-voiced question:
 DO you love your daddyp".
 The little boys face was as wood- en as the tiny shoes on his feet as he replied:
 Daddy dead"
 There. was more entertaining and then second agent tried 6 different tack.
 "when did you last see your dad- dy?" he asked.
 He got the same answer.
 The Gestapo tried again and again, phrasing questions in every conceivable way in m effort to trap their tiny victim. They coaxed, ca- joled and threatened and their kind whispers changed to angy shouts.
 But always the answer was dad dy dead"
 Finally the Nasls gave up and marched out, leaving their baby nemesis seated on the floor. solemn iy sucking Q piece of German candy.

While the first German plane to be shot down by American forces was in aerial combat over Iceland, this area is considered part of the Eastern Defense Command and it takes its orders from Cover nor's Island, not Eisenhower's Su- preme Headquarters in Europe.
