WITH THE AMERICAN 5th
ARMY, SOUTH OF BOLOGNA,
April l9.-The few German pris-
oners taken so far in this bloody
Italian offensive wore an almost
uniform expression of bewilderment
and surprise during the first hours
after they we're taken When you
look at them you jump to the
conclusion that they have been
shocked by the fury of battle or
| by the fact that they have been
captured.
You are wrong. The thing which
is bothering them-which they can
not understand at all-is that they
have not been shot by bloodthirsty
Americans.
This afternoon I visited a typical
group of prisoners. captured today
on this sector of the front. The
expression that came over their
faces as they realized they were
being treated like human beings
was interesting to see.
Some Terrified.
Before this realization came some
were resigned, some bitter and some
downright terrified They knew they
were safe until questioned, but they
were convinced that once their turn
came they were finished. Their
officers had made it quite clear to
them what happened to Germans
who were taken prisoner by the
Americans. So clear, in fact, that
one of these men had attempted
suicide by slashing his wrists few
minutes after he was captured.
Some prisoners, once they realized
they we're safe. were pretty bitter
about the manner in which they had
been deceived. 1t is hard for lay
man to tell when prisoner is really
mad at his former masters and
when he is giving song and dance
for the benefit of his captors. One
prisoner, who impressed the experts
with his sincerity, hauled out a
pocket map of Germany on which
the American soldier who took him
prisoner had marked the approx
mate line of the western front as of
today.
They had been telling us lies"
said the German, a meek-looking
man about 40 years old According
to the last news they told us two
days ago, the front was 100 miles
back from this line
An American officer laughed and
told him he had been dealt with
fairly honestly. because two days
ago the front really was about 100
miles back
Don't tell me" said the German
1T was all pack of lies"
Believe War Lost.
Thirty eight of the 40 prisoners I
questioned at this cage since the Of
fensive started said they believed
that the war had been irretrievably
lost in Germany. Two diehards,
who stuck to their belief that Ger
many would still win, one of
whom was a company commander,
shrugged their shoulders when asked
how they thought German victory
could be accomplished
When asked why they thought the
Germans we're fighting so hard in
Italy while their homeland was be-
ing taken behind them, most of them
said they felt it was simply ques-
ton of their not being able to get
out of Italy.

President Truman today told fou,

Trade Agreement Act, extension OF

al-full American cooperation in
q program for international peace
Details Not Discussed.
Details of legislation we're not dis
cussed, but one of the conferees said
he concluded that Mr.. Truman
hoped for extension of the draft law
without amendment. The Senate
takes up that bill today, and there
is powerful bipartisan effort under
way to modify it by barring use of
1S-year- -olds in combat duty unless
they have had at least six months
military training.
The President also conferred with
Chairman Taft of the Senate Re-
publican Steering Committee for the
second time in two days.
Il had an idea or two l wanted to
place before the President concern
ing overall legislative matters, y
Senator Taft told reporters.
There was nothing discussed con-
eerning any current matter but just
some ideas I had I wanted him to
consider against some future deci-
sions."
Offered President Support.
Senator Taft headed a Republican
senatorial delegation to the White
House yesterday to offer the Presi-
dent their support in ironing out
any differences with the administra-
ton over legislation.
Immediately after their talk with
Mr.. Truman the Democratic Sena-
tors hurried back to the Capitol for
a general party conference sum-
moned by Senator Barkley.
The conference is expected to
pledge full legislative cooperation
with President Truman and an era
of good feeling between Capitol Hill
and the executive office.
The conference call underscored
Senator Barkley's new responsibility
as majority leader in fact as we'll as
name.
Ten years service in the Senate
taught the new President the neces-
sity Of frank, full discussions be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches if the administrations
program is to be carried out with
dispatch and a minimum of ruffled
feelings.

Higher Meat
Price Likely

Washington, Apr. l7-AP- In.
creasing sentiment developed
among Senate food investigators
Monday for higher consumer prices
as a means OF getting more meat
and combating black markets.
As the committee resumed hear
ings, with state agriculture com.
missioners as witnesses, several
members talked OF a boost In OPA
retail ceilings as possibly desirable.
Senator Wheeler (D-MontD, who
termed some revision of the price
structure necessary "all down the
line" said Il assume some increase
in retail prices would be necessary"
He expressed belief to re-
porter that slight increase in
OPA retail prices could be made
with the total bill to consumers
actually decreasing. This could
result, he said, because much of
the available meat now is being
sold at inflated prices through the
black market.
Similarly. Senator Bushfield (R-
SD said he thought the black
market comes down pretty much
TO a question OF prices"

wide and innocent. Too innocent.
"You," he answered, rising from
the ottoman.
She didn't deny it.
The next day, it began to rain at
nine o'clock and it rained hard.
There were occasional diminutions
of the gray pail, but not for long
enough periods to cause people to
go outdoors voluntarily. Aggie
stayed in. He unpacked his clothes
and the contents of the rest of his
peculiar luggage. He read books.
He refused to go to the club for
lunch or for dinner. He volun-
teered to play cribbage with his
aunt, but she was so piqued by his
lack of cooperation that she re-
fused any such solace. DR.. Davis
came, and she sent for her nephew,
but he was reported by old john to
be immersed in a bath. She tried
to persuade Aggie after dinner that
people would want to see him; he
told her that anybody who wanted
to see him knew where he could be
found. He went back to his treatises
at ten o'clock and made no further
sound.
Sarah, waking in the thin, black
hours of morning, saw by the re-
Election on the trees that her nephew
still had a light on. Still readiug.
Or-more pr6bably-holding up a
book, and thinking. She grunted
with the discomfort of her ailment
and the discomfort Of her mind and
went back to sleep.
The day that came after that
night was sunny and hot. Old John
woke Aggie-on Sarah's orders
with the news that he was to be
present at a coroner's inquest at
ten. John would have let him sleep
through anything of so trifling a
nature. And so would Sarah, if
she'd had mind TO do it. Aggie
ate his breakfast in a cross and ST.
lent manner. He shot the station
wagon through the stone gates
noisily, and was gone for three
hours. When he returned, he was
still taciturn.
Sarah had a cold luncheon served
to him in her room. Death by ac-
cident," he said. Warrant out for
whoever built that deadfall." He
forked up a mouthful Of salad and
she warned him it would drop on
his beard. He seowled at ber-and
the salad dropped. "Most perfume
