White Women
Return to

TULAGI, Solomon Islands,
March % TIP White women
have come back to the Solo,
mons.
This word spread up and down
the jungle islands with the news
that 127 American Navy nurses
had arrived. For some Of the
fighting men here they were
the first white women seen in
IS months or more. Since the
British evacuated theirs in jan
uary, 1912 the only white wom-
en- to visit were three USO en-
tertainers. They stayed q week.
The G.. is courteously took
the arrivals in hand, taking
them for boat and jeep rides to
the islands points of interest.
The nurses weren't long in tidy
ing up five barracks and adding
other feminine touches.
Their II days on the way out
from the States left them with
an immediate Job on arrival:
For two days the nurses wash
ed and hung out their voyage
soiled clothes.

LANSING, March % tP)-
Capt. Donald S. Leonard, state
Civilian Defense director, said
today a majority of community
defense councils were providing
recruits for the Office Of Price
Administrations survey Of price
control measures among merch-
ants, but that he had refused to
allow OCD volunteers 10 be used
as "snoopers."
OCD councils, he said, are
sending volunteers to the OPA
to act as price panel assistants in
conducting store surveys with
the understanding that they will
not be called upon to give testi
mony in court or OPA hearings
against merchants violating
price regulations.

declared, Ito let them be used in
an educational capacity such as
calling merchants attention to
price violations and similar
steps, but do not propose to use
our people as enforcement Off

is a difference between a paid
investigator doing job because
he is paid for it, and a volunteer

BILE
He said each local council was
allowed TO decide for itself
whether it would assist the OPA
and that a majority, especially
in the larger cities, were doing
so. In some communities, he
said, councils refused because
close neighborhood relationships
between OCD volunteers and
merchants would have made the
program ineffective.

The Clinton Huron Parkway
authority's effort TO acquire
more than 1000 parcels of land
on Huron Pointe. for the Ma
comb County end of a postwar
recreation project, will be re-
newed in Circuit Court here In
April.
The original attempt Of the
arkway authority to obtain the
land under a condemnation suit
started last November and COL
lapsed in February when re-
peated illnesses of jurors caused
a mistrial.
Assignment Clerk Elmore Les
ter has tentatively set the Huron
Pointe condemnation matter for
April II, when Judge Fred
George, of Port Huron, will con-
fer with all attorneys involved
regarding new condemnation
1t is possible at that time that
parkway attorneys will reveal
that value on some desired
parcels has been settled in con-
ferences with attorneys for the
property owners.
1t has been indicated that the
parkway authorities have aimed
at 100000 as the approximate
maximum valuation they will
consider paying, whereas prop
erty owners have sought a much
higher figure.
Much of the land Is unim-
proved and swampy, and a jur-
ors inspection Of some parcels
had to be made by boat. After
being filled in, the property
would be designed to offer an
ample beach, bathhouse, golf
course, riding grounds and other
facilities for citizens of the me-
tropolitan district.

in a prison camp in Germany
are willing 10 sing the British
anthem in exchange for tea ano
other tidbits from Red Cross
food packages, you may suspect
that the Nazis are awfully hun
cry for luxury things, or that
their dignity and morale are
pretty far gone.
Actually, both surmises are
true, according TO the account
of four British exchange pris-
oners of war who recently ar
rived in New York after spend
ing three years in a camp IN
Germany. The men were crew
members of different merchant
ships when they were captured
in 1910. and their identities OBJ
yiouslv cannot be revealed.
Guests at local service club,
they stared in establishment at
the array and variety of food
that was offered. One said; You
can't imagine what this means
unless you've seen people starv-
ing. We have scrambled to get
hold of the potato peellngs III
a pig pen. At least, that hap
pened once soon after we were
captured. Things were better
later. when the Red Cross pack
ages began TO arrive"
CONFIDENCE SLUMPED
Asked about German morale,
another of the men recalled that
it was very high in l940.&Ihe
Germans were confident and
proud. We didn't dare even
speak about Hitler for fear OF
getting shot or beaten by some
enthusiastic Nazi. But just before
we were exchanged a couple OF
months ago, it was quite dlf-
ferent story. / guess this is the
best illustration:
THE ordinary guards at the
camp wanted food so badly
especially sweets or something
tasty-that they would beg us
for a few bites from our Red
Cross packages. They liked our
tea 80 we'll that they actually
would stand on a table and sing
God Save the King to get a
little Of il and maybe you
don't think that was music to
our ears"
Having been out Of touch with
the world since 1910, the sea-
men at first did not realize what
the V-for-Victory sign meant,
but as the train of prisoners
travelled through the occupied
countries of France, Belgium.
Spain and finally Portugal, there
was no mistaking It's signifi-

There was the engine driver
who furtively beckoned to them

then hurriedly rubbed it out.
There was the old bent Belgian
who, instead OF joining tn e
crowd in an air raid shelter dur
ing raid in Brussels, stood in
the street, and watched the sky.
Asked by one of the seamen
why he stayed outside, the old
man said: 1.-THE English don't
bomb Belgians they only bomb
factories to beat the Germans"
With that, he lifted his worn
coat, hid his hand, and made
the v sign.

Chairman Herbert Brownell, jr.,
Of the Republican National COM
mittee yesterday refused to answer
directly q question whether Gov.
Thomas z. Dewey would 60 overseas
or to Army camps in this country
during the presidential campaign.
He did say. however, that the
prospective soldier vote had been
taken into consideration by himself
and other Republican leaders In
reaching the conclusion that Coy.
Dewey would win the presidency in
November.
Here to. plan coordination Of the
Republican senatorial and congress
sional campaigns with the partys
national drive, Mr.. Brownell was
asked at news conference:
rs Gov. Dewey going overseas or
to any Army camps In this country
before the election?"
I'VE are not ready to announce
any dates beyond those already
given out" Mr.. Brownell replied,
then added:
Our presentation of the issues
will be made to all qualified voters
+ at the same time"
Says Unity Has Been Achieved.
In predicting d Dewey victory, he
said the Republicans have achieved
/ unity" whereas the Democrats are
split, particularly in Missouri and
other border States" He disagreed
with Democratic forecasts Of a
Roosevelt victory in Missouri and
predicted swing back to the Re-
publican banner Of many Negro
voters.
The Republican platform is far
more satisfactory to the Negroes
than the Democratic, he declared.
adding that the certification in
Georgia by the Democratic secretary
OF State OF lilly white" group of
Republican electors repudiated at
the COP national convention was
"one more indication that the New
Deal party has refused to recog-
nize the claims of NegroeA."

of publicity for the national COM
mittee, succeeding James P. Selv-
age, who resigned at the close of

Mr. Hammond will make his head
quarters in New York and will serve,
Mr.. Brownell said, as a volunteer
for the duration of the campaign. -
He is taking leave from his publish

without pay.
