AS an American newspaper correspondent In Berlin from l9le Co l9Al, Sigrld SchultR saw at first hand tho events that led from World War | Co World War IT.
 And she saw the behind-the- scenes preparation for che coming "war-ln-peAco" that she warns may culmlnatc In World War m. This Is the story 0f Germany'S plans tO win tho peace, plans that even now arc being put into effect
 VXIIr
 one Of the hardest hlowy struck against the German family was the mobilization of labor, forcing thousands of workers to leave their homes and families and accept jobs on Hitler's highways and later on Notifications which were to become known as the Slegfried Line, oeoa- Sionally the men would 90 home A, w. o, l., The NaEls fixed that difileulty by rounding up the street, walkers from all the German cities and establishing them in the Rhine- land for the entertainment of the Siegfried Line workers.
 With the war, the men joined their military units, The street, walkers were shipped to districts where Czech and Polish workers toiled at forced labor. Two Ger man ofIleials openly talked about the deliberate purpose of this measure It was on the Berlln- Basle train Ns was leaving Ger many, A Luttwaffe colonel and Q NRzi Party ofheial sporting the big gold Naxi button meaning that he ranked very high, shared my compartment, When we reached Mannheim, the ofiieial was moved to remark on the number of Poles and CEeehS brought to that city to replace German workers because of the bomblngS, He laughed. "I'hose men won't bo any good to their fam. ilies # they ever get back" he re. marked.
 "why won't theys" the colonel asked.
 "All the diseased women who worked the Seigfried Line are on their trall," tho official replied, with 6 smlrk,
 The talk apout women reminded me of something said by Q clever little German woman surgeon a few weeks before, She came to me, lock- Ing very prosperous, with e mess sage for some people in Chicago. knew that women get very little chance at surgery in German hos pitals and asked her some questions, T do war work. l am 0 plastic sur. geon," she said, II ought to be pros. porous; I'm working hard enough heautifying hustllnes,"
 What have bustlines got to do with the war9"
 Why when the German men come home from France and the Balkans, they criticize the figures of their wives, All the Naxis have money, you know, so I operate"
 It was Hitler who was reSponsi. ble for the beauty operations. When he made Q eonquerors tour of France, he delighted In the numer. ous castles built in happier days by French nobility. We are now over our era of Iron necessity" he said on this return, We must evolve a new joyous architecture, some- thing like Q German rocoeo. And our women-they must become the most beautiful women in the world, Beauty Is Q political asset And we have use for it,"
 
 So German female beauty Is not regarded as belonging necessarily to the German home. Few plain women can succeed as agents ol spies, And the Nazis have plenty of candidates for such work.

floor. Peering through the tangl- ed brush he advanced again but the object, did not stir. He ap- preached to within 8 feet, then stopped to get better look. This time he could see it was the bear = dead. Burbank's two shots had been effective.
 We skinned the second bear, which was younger than the first, and also cut out the choic- est meat to take back to camp. We took both hides with us, too. This was accomplished by pre- pairing a stretcher from 2 shelter halves and a couple of poles which we cut in a littlA grove of trees The total weight of our stretcher load was somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 and that, with our equipment, rifles and ammunition, made some load to lug through the Kodiak brush.
 We got back to camp just under the wire" before our 3. day pass expired. We were tric of happy but dead tired hunters when we finally reached the road where We were to be picked up. Our driver came along at the appointed time and drove us the rest of the way to Fort Greedy When we got back the first thing we did was take off our hunting clothes, take a shower and hit the bunk.

He didn't fall over but just stood there swaying a little and glared at us as if trying to de- eide whether to keep on coming or to head back in the brush. We were ready to throw some more lead at him but the bear must have decided that he was out-numbered because he spun around and fled back into the thicket.
 We didn't want a wounded bear roaming around in the hills so we started after him. That patch of brush was so thick you could hardly see ahead but we went on, with rifles ready. We were expecting to see that ugly brute rear up on his hind legs in front of us any minute.
 Sgt. Burbank was proceeding
 
 cautiously through that tangled brush when he heard a low growing sound from ahead. It was more like a groan than a growl, but it meant the bear was near. Burbank brought his rifle up but there wasn't any more noise and we knew that the bear, wherever he was wasn't moving.
 Burbank advanced a few steps at time with rifle always ready for instant use Then he saw what appeared to be a huge brown boulder few feet ahead of him and atopped. He stood still for a m ment waiting 10 see if it was the bear or just large rock such as dotted the valley

 feet or so. When they stopped rOlIing the bear was as dead as the tree.
 We looked around and the other bears were gone so we vent down the slope to the bear and even lying there on the ground he was big and ugly enough to scare us. We figured the weight to be approximately Il,4OO pounds and he was the biggest bear any of us had ever I,een.
 It was dark so we decided to Have the carcass there until day. light and then come back to llikin it.
 After breakfast the next mor- sing we went back and began s1nning the bear carefully so i've wouldn't damage the hide. A little before noon we were al- Iaost through and started rolling lhe carcass off the hide. We had laid our rifles down some dis lance from the carcass and just we were rolling the big fellow o one si,ie we heard a noise in he underbrush behind us. We bdn't have any weapons within Eeach, other than our knives, so Se stood up to listen. The noise Tasn't very loud and it stopped Is suddenly as 1t had begun. We tgured it was a fox and went back to work. In a minute the lOi3e started again.
 'I'll bet it's one of those ears." Sgt. Burbank suggested, lnd we picked up our rifles pickly and stood facing the Ound We had our trigger fn- gers curled and rifles ready to pen fire.

Eisenhower added. "Appalling

Expenditure of ammunition has

He also urged increased pro-

The supreme commander de-
clared that 5000 rounds of ammu.

and two million rounds of mortar
fire are being hurled at the Ger

AMERICANS SHELL
JAPANESE ON Two

49, R - Dashing within $50
miles Of Tokyo, American war
ships bombarded Two island Nov.
10, causing explosions and large
fires visible IS miles at sea, Ad-
miral Chester W. Nimitz announc-
ed today.
The japanese apparently were
so surprised that they put only
one plane in the air and their
shore batteries replied lightly and
ineffectively.
No American casualties or DAM
age was sustained.
Ninitz also announced the re-
capture of Ngeregong islet in the
Palau group, eight miles north
east of American-held Peleliu,
which about 200 Japanese occu-
pied November 7. Elements of
the 81st Army division re-took the
islet without opposition.
There was no explanation of the
nine-day delay in announcing the
bombardment Of Two, which mas
been shelled before in task force
raids and bombed repeatedly.
Nimitz's communique also did
not confirm recent Tokyo radio
announcement that U. S. SHIPS
had sunk one Japanese gunboat
and another small vessel, appar-
emily in separate engagements, off
the BONN islands.
The bombardment of Two, also
part of the extensive Bonins, pre-
sumab1y was brief, since the COM
munique reported the attack was
made "before dawn
The inference is that probably
only speedy destroyers participant
ed in the raid, dashing in for an
accurate attack in pre-dawn dark
ness, then retiring at high speed
before the startled enemy could
effectively.
The accuracy Of Ships gunfire
was attested by Nimitz' statement
that the first salvos started sew
eral explosions.
The bombardment probably was

Seven other localities were cap
tured On a front extending from
the approaches to Miskolc, IS miles
northeast of Budapest, down to
the area Of Hatvan, key rail juno
ton 26 miles from the capital,
the bulletin said.
Berlin said the battle east of
Budapest had entered a new as
sault phase with the Russians now
massing IS infantry divisions and
seven motorized corps, possibly
400, 900 men, around the Hungarian
capital.
The Germans admitted heavy
fighting just north of Gyomro, 10
miles east-southeast of Budapest,
and also acknowledged a Russian
entry into Gyongyos, a seven-way
road hub in the foothills of the
Matra mountains 40 miles north
east of Budapest. Violent street
fighting is going on in Gyongyos,
the enemy broadcast added.
In. the Baltic, off the west 'Es-
tonian coast, the Russians were re-
ported by Berlin to have thrown
three divisions Of 10000 men and
strong tank forces against narrow
Sworbe peninsula, the southWes-
tern tip of Saare island dominating
the entrance to the gulf of Riga.
The guns Of Russian warships
shelled German lines in support of
the land strike which preached
German defenses to an undisclosed
depth, Berlin disclosed. An at
tempted Soviet landing from the
sea behind the German lines fail
ed, the enemy said.
Saare, a 1,010-square-mile island
was invaded late in September
by Marshal Leonid A. Govorov's
Leningrad army forces who also
overran the neighboring islands of
Vormsi, Ristna and Muhu. All of
Saare except the Sworbe PENN
sula has been conquered. The spit
of land is only 16 miles across
the Riga gulf mouth from Latvia
and 80 miles northwest Of fallen

The Russians need to wrest
Sworbe from the enemy to free
completely the Gulf of Riga for

SUPREME ALLIED H E A D .
QUARTERS, Paris, Nov. 19.-RN
The reduction of the German
fortress city of Aachen was de-
1ayed by a shortage of ammunl-
ton, General Dwight D. Eisen-
hover said today.
The Allied supreme commander
made the disclosure in an appeal
to munitions workers in America
to turn out ammunition, especially
artillery shells, at top speed. In
an address on the Army Hour
program, broadcast in the United
States over NBC, Eisenhower en-
phasized the enormous drain on
ammunition resulting from the
stepped-up tempo of the war.
''Today we are firing ammuni-
ton that we would not have used
until next February or March
if we had been content with slow
er advance, with less crushing
victories, or if we had been ready
to sacrifice soldiers to save ma
terials,' he said.

the Fair Employment Practices
Committee is starting along a
rocky road strewn with wreckage
of anti-lynching and poll tax meas
ures.
Bills to ban poll taxes and COM
bat lynching always have encoun-
tered fights and filibusters in Con-
gress. And, despite Republican
and Democratic campaign indorse-
ments, a lasting FEPC apparently
is also in for some rough going.
A measure to set up a per
manent agency charged with try
ing to minimize racial and religious

emerged from a Senate or House
committee But Southerners are
against it. And the spearhead OF
the opposition may be Senator
Russell (D-Ga)
''It will only be passed." he as
serted today, "after the most ter
rifle fight waged in Congress in a
long, long time. In fact, I don't
think it can be passed.
s"There is a lot of strong oppo-
sition, and I don't think after the
issue is understood the opposition
will by any means be confined to
the South"
Russell bucked vigorously when
Congress was asked few months
ago to provide funds for the tenn
porary FEPC existing under a
presidential executive order. And
he let it be known that he would
combat creation of a permanent
agency even more strenuously.

CHINESE ADMIT
NEW JAP GAINS

CHUNGKING, Nov. 49, Up -
The Japanese drive toward Kwei-
chow province is continuing, the
Chinese high command acknoWl-
elged tonight, with the invaders
approaching Hwaiyunchen, so miles
west of fallen Liuchow and less
than 40 miles from the Kwangsi-
Kweichow border.
The high command also announc-
ed the fall November II of Hsin-
cheng, 40 miles west southwest of
Liuchow on the left flank Of the
advancing Japanese forces.
A potentially fresh threat to
Kweichow has developed with fur
Their Japanese advances west of
Paoching, 60 miles west of Heng-
yang. The communique said Japa-
nese troops hammering westward
had reached a point 10 miles west
of Paoching two days ago and
were engaged by Chinese troops.
Competent sources in Chung
king estima that Gen. Shunroku
Hata has thrown some 100000 vet
eran troops into his south China
campaign which is believed de-
signed to cut the Burma road at
Kweiyang, capital of Kweichow
province, and thus nullify the Al
lied Burma drive to clean out a
land supply route from India to
China.
It also poses a threat to U. S.
Superfortress bases in West China.
