 They are allowed to buy their own movie projectors and show U, s. films rented with their own money. They can buy books and magazines, but they are the regu. lar American news stand offerings. Radio is free, but the programs are exclusively in English fro mt 8. stations. Libraries are free and there the prisoner has access to books that he may never have seen or heard of before. He can't be forced to read them-which iS the t!r-off that Ideas can't be forced into anyone's brain if he doesn't want to take them, and hte answer to those who would try forced prop agandizing. If book which Nazis consider dangerous reading should be destroyed by some fanatical prls- oner, he pays for another copy to replace 1t on the library shelves. And so 1t goes.
 DEATH IS PENALTY
 It is 0 queer and little known segment of American life today. ThsFe have been murders-nasty ones-and suicides. The Army was worried recently by what 1t thought was e wave fpriSoner suicides. But insurance actuaries proved the rate was lower than in Q normal city of comparable popu- lation.
 Over 600 have tried to escape, but no more than 30 have ever been at large ct one time, and they al get captured eventually. Every prisoner is told plainly that If he tries to es. cape he may be shot and some have been shot. The Army then gives the dead military funeral, with Q volley fired over the grave, and Q German chaplains church service in German, with all the other prisoners drawn Up to see.

isn't the same line which pr. 0oeb- bels hands out.
 Experience has shown that the best line of education is just to let the German prisoners absorb what they can see with their own eyes as they work in American commun- tiles, and as they soak 1t up in U. s. newspapers, books, magazines, movies and radio,
 The number of irreconeilable, Nazis, arrogant Hitler fanatics who won't believe anything, at first high, has been dropping. One of the greatest shocks to batch of all-out Nazl veterans of the Afrika Korps is to throw new dee tall of prisoners from Normandy in with them. When they get from their own kind the news that the German army is reeling back across France, they are not so inclined to believe that all the news in Ameri- can papers, all the broadcasts on American radio programs, are Hes all les.
 The tough customers, the non. cooperative prisoners, are placed in camps where discipline Is stiff. CT and control tighter,

 NO BAN EXERCISED
 There has been some criticism of the Army lately, for not '-prop- agandi2ing" these German prison- CTS, trying to make good liberal democrats out of Nazl-indoctri- mated fanatics. In this criticism, there seems to have been 0 good bit of transformation and eXag- eretion.

Open Door" Press Policy Aids French

Paris. Sept. 2i - (U.P.) - The "open door" press policy of the French government is intended to put newspapers and press aSsocia- tions in this country on the same basis as those in the United States insofar as relationship with the government is concerned, Pierre Henri Teitgen, minister of inform. ation, told Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, today.
 Teitgen emphasized that the number of individual French news papers is not limited by government tai restrictions or by newsprint lirn- itations, and said that France now has about three weeks newsprint for present publications. He said that financial assistance to Agence Francaise De Presse will be discons tinued as soon as the newspapers are able to pay adequate rates.
 Teitgen envisaged Agence Fran caise operating entirely without government financing or control as soon as the situation becomes nor- nal, with freedom to obtain news from any source and to make it's own news available anywhere it's management desires, under no gov- eYnment compulsion to make exclu- sive arrangements with any other news agency or agencies but pro- ceeding independently.
 French Welcome
 He assured Baillie that France welcomes other independent news agencies which may be organized in- side the country, as well as news agencies of the United States, Bri- tain and other United Nations which may desire to distribute news to the French press and gather news within France on an equal basis with Agence Francaise.
 The government exercises no cen- sorship over French newspapers, the minister said. CThere are now 13 morning and three evening papers in Paris.) However, no newspapers which published under German domination are now operating. All those in existence at present were either printed clandestinely during the occupation or were suspended when the Germans arrived or short- ly thereafter and were revived after their departure. As an illustration of the governments non-interfer- ence with freedom of the press, Teitgen pointed out that among those now publishing are the right vxyil1O Ri0arO kha Cantar Aa1ha and the Communist Humanite.
