ALL YANKs COOPERATE

There's scarcely an American
soldiers mess in the theater that
hasn't arranged some sort of a
party for local kids and poorer
grownups at some time during
the four-day break, complete with
a Santa Claus, toys, goodies and
plenty of eats.
At most USAAF bomber sta
tons, for example, Santa Claus
will arrive" aboard a bomber,
complete with bags Of toys, candy
and other things for the kids, who
will be brought from miles around
TO be shown a good time.
AT ground force barracks
throughout the country, sometime
during Sunday or Monday, CTS
will throw similar parties for kids
and groWnupS invited from the
poorer sections of the towns and
villages near by.
FEW GET TO LONDON
Few of the soldiers and filters
will get 10 London, since no extra
trains are being put on for the
Christmas rush" and special leave
is not being granted. But back al
their bomber stations and in their
barracks everything will be done
to make it a special occasion for
the boys who are over here"
Turkey with trimmings will be
served Christmas. Oranges and
candy have arrived, while the
army postal section has made
extra efforts to deliver all mail
from home into the soldiers hands
by Christmas Day
For most Britons il will be a
quiet Christmas. celebrated in
doors with as much joility as a
severely rationed country can pro-
vide. Prices are high, luXuries are
scarcer than ever, and gifts have
been reduced TO an a11-time low
Some alienation of rationing
will permit a little more sugar
+ slightly more meat, and a larger
quantity of fats. but by and large
Christmas dinner for most folk
will be much like any other meat
day here.
Restriction of train travel and
lack of gasoline will prevent any
large scale travelling over the holt
day. Those who plan to get into
the country will go by bicycle
For many families il will be the
first Christmas they have cele-
brated with husbands or sons for
three or four years. Special
leave facilities granted to troops
with long service abroad have
brought several thousand British
soldiers home for the holiday.
The royal family will spend the
occasion lin the country as will
Premier Churchill and his family
Members of the cabinet will not
move far from London, while the
king and prime minister will be
in constant touch with the capital

At War Rules
Think rs Smart

BY ALFRED TYRNAUER
International New. Service stan Writer

NEW YORK. Dec. 23-The dis
closure that German shock
troops" disguised in American
uniforms and driving captured
American army vehicles, am
pushed U. 6. units and massacred
their prisoners, seems 70 indicate
that Hitler or Himmler is in
charge Of the current German
offensive.
Unbelievable as il may appear
that all rules Of warfare should be
so cruelty ignored. to this corre-
spondent these outrages recall
similar ones he has seen.
The earliest and one of the best
known Nazi coups, in which Hit
ler's elite troops" donncd foreign
uniforms. was the Vienna putsch
which eliminated in the assassina-
ton of the Austrian chancellor,
DR.. Dollfuss, --

SAME IN BALKANS

In a similar way, thousands Of
German troops were sent into the
Balkan countries as innocent-look-
ing tourists and statesmen. and
France, too, had been infiltrated
by Nazis in civilian disguise pre-
vious to the outbreak Of war.
Numbering prisoners, who might
be uncomfortable witnesses 10
their atrocities, or of captives who
became burden simply because
they had TO be fed and housed, is
nothing new 10 the Nazis.
Yet. despite well-documented
descriptions of horrors in Nazi
prison camps. many people still
refused TO believe that the Ger
mans would massacre war prison
ers.

EYEWITNESS STORY

I was an eyewitness OF the
abortive Vienna putsch as well as
o. the subsequent trial Of the dis
guised "elite" troopers.
In my capacity as ms CORE
spondent / gained access 10 docu-
ments which for political reasons
could not be published by the
Austrian government.
They proved conclusively that
the disguise of the Nazi troops as
we'll as the raid and the murder
were undertaken upon direct in
structions from Hitler and Hmm
Ter. ------------------
They were proud Of their Nor
die trick" and have repeated it in
various forms ever since.
The invasion of Norway was
partly carried through by Nazi
troops In vessels sailing up the
Norwegian coast disguised as Nor
wegian or neutral merchantmen.
The first German parachute
troops dropped onto Belgian and
Dutch soil wore Dutch and Bel
gian uniforms, and were assisted
by Nazis who had previously en-
tered the countries as civilian
travellers.

An underground division of Hit
iers elite troops" had raided a
Vienna army depot with the help
OF some traitors.
Disguised as an Austrian mill
tary guard in stolen army trucks,
they drove up 10 the chancellery,
occupied il, and captured num-
Der of government members, in
Guiding the chancellor.
Then they shot DR.. Dollfuss 10
death and made the rest of their
prisoners their hostages.

Readin' and 'ritin' and relaxin' to the strains of the worlds best music is something you can do only in the privacy of your own home or in the pleasant surroundings of an Army Library. That's what makes the Tuesday evening con- certs of recorded music at the Bradley Field Base Library so popular. If you haven't discovered this "home away from home" stop in next Tuesday around 1945-the programs are "all request" If your favorite is not included it's up to you to request 1t.
 The program for September nineteenth includes compositions by Berlioz and Schubert and an al- bum of modern piano music play ed by Oscar Levant.
 Berlioz, whose Symphonic Fan tastique opens the program, has been described by critics as a hy- peremotional dreamer and comba- tive originator. In 1927, at the age of twenty-four, he fell madly in love with an Irish actress, Harriet Smithson, who gave English per- formances of Shakespeare in Par is. Not with ordinary wooing did he win her, but with his Fantastic Symphony which reflected with dramatic vividness the emotions, real and imagined, that his love for Harriet had awakened. This sym- phony in which the obsessing idea of the beloved took musical shape in an equally obsessing theme, is the first true specimen of the "Leitmotiv."
 Second on the program is the supreme masterpiece which Schu- bert gave the world during his last year of life, the c major String Quintet for two violins, viola and two cellos. From start to finish it is one glorious chain of richly colored melody, refiecting the whole gamut of human emotion

 Now that the Club has reached such large membership you are cautioned against the practise of inviting guests on nights other than those set aside for them. Sun day and Wednesday nights are of ficial guest nights and at no other time will non-members be permit ted to enter the hallowed portals. A word to the wise is sufficient.
 The sturdy clubhouse was cer- tainly haven of refuge for men1- bers during the evening of the "big wet blow" It was jammed to the gunwales (and l use the word ad- visedly) with members who had previously attended the theater. Incidentally, a week or so ago we saw the flicker Atlantic City" and wonder now whether or not the place looks the same as it was shown then.
 Some of the more hardy non- coms ventured out into the storm to join in the coviviality which al- ways prevails there and We un- derstand that the fishing was ex- cellent during the evening. Your reporter is definitely NOT of the ventursome type.
 Why did WSM and FJS scare their buddies that night by disap- bearing into the murk, and while a search was ping instigated, turn up at the Club to enjoy themsel- yes?
 Rita Lawson claims that she is becoming more and more port ly. To this writer it appears to be more becoming to her.
 No matter how much change you have coming to you at the bar Mac always sees to it that you receive at least half of it in nickles. We've often wondered what his "cut" IS on the one-armed bandits.
