We did a broadcast in Munich, Germany, recently that may bring back the radio crystal sets. We flew in about three o'clock in the afternoon, thinking that our eve ming show was at seven o'clock, and discovered an audience await ing us at the Prinz Regent Opera House. We piled into our car and tried to get some sort of script together on the way, but nothing happened.
 When we reached the opera house, we found the control booth was an old broom closet with the door open. It was filled with cap- tured German equipment and manned by kraut technicians didn't understand any English. When We went on the air. our baggage hadn't arrived, and Ruth Denas was trying to build an ac- cordion out of old match boxes and some facial tissues. On top of that got up and told five jokes, and the microphones went dead. It was the first time was ever criticized by an electrical sys- tenn. However, we staggered through a forty-minute omelet and escaped safely.

Cecil Brown Speaks His Mind In Lecture

Peace" Received Rather CooIy By Packed Audience Com

forces. which leaves us, as both
General Marshall and Admiral King
have pointed out, without sufficient
strength to carry out the commit
ments we have already made, the
danger of our fear-dominated
foreign policies, the sorry results of
putting political and diplomatic mat
tiers in the hands of the military
brass in the occupied countries.
AS an example of the latter, Brown
mentioned the recent General Pat
ton incident in Germany and sug-
gested that "it would be well for
our military in that country to get
down to few hard, cold facts and
stop trying to be bunch of pin-up
boys to the German people"
The cold hard facts in regard to
the Germans, as Brown sees them,
are these: That Germany stands in
dicted in the eyes of the world as
opposed to what the rest of the
world says it wants; that Pan-Ger-
manism is as vicious a doctrine as
Shintoism ever was; that there was
no anti-Nazi underground in Ger
many-not because of the Gestapo,
but because there isn't now and
never were during the war years,
any stable number of Germans in
terested in decency or democracy,
and that what we are pleased to
look upon as the good Germans"
never cut any ice because they were
never able to induce the majority
to show a sense of responsibility
toward the rest of the world.
Browns personal theory about what
to do with the Germans who re-
main is simple: keep them in a
minimum of comfort for the rest of
their lives and do what we can
with the young children"
That war anywhere means war
for us; that the robot and atomic
bomb have destroyed every frontier
in the world; that Japan is not de
feated, but that Macarthur is doing
top-notch job there and will con-
tinue to if the State Department will
lay off such namby-pamby nonsense
as it's statement last week that the
Emperor System is our best
guarantee for promoting democra-
cy;" that the rejection of 100000
of our young men for physical rea-
sons would seem to indicate that
compulsory military training is
needed - though he doesn't think
it will have the slightest effect on
preventing or bringing on another
war - these were other things that
Cecil Brown told his HagerstoWn
audience.

As they say in the show business,
Cecil Brown "laid an egg when he
addressed a packed audience at the
second of the Lyceum meetings,
held in the Hagerstown High School
auditorium on Thursday night, UNI
der the sponsorship of the Wash
ington County Teachers Associa-
ton.
And no one knew it better than
the big, well tailored commentator
whose broadcasts from Rome over
the long road to Singapore, repre-
scented some of the finest reporting
to come out of this, or any other,
war ''They didn't like me, did
they?" queried Brown ruefully to
this reporter at the close of his
lecture. II could feel it by osmose-
or however you do feel those things.
The audience was polite, but that
was all. Why?"
1t was a little hard for me to tell
Mr.. Brown why the audience didn't
like him. II could have been that
they were disappointed because they
expected a resume of the highlights
of his own war experiences-though
his announced topic "The Road to
Peace" would seem to preclude
that. Perhaps they didn't like what
he had to say about the need for a
better understanding of and with
Russia. II may have been his bitter
and fortnight indictment of the
Germans, past, present and future,
that was a little hard to swallow. 1t
may have been his plea for racial
tolerance, or the quick, sincere
tribute he paid the British in the
open forum.
1t might have been all or none
of those things. Anyway he didn't
go over and he was sorry and puz-
zled, as men with a message are
probably going to be for some time
to come.
Paying tribute to the magnificent
performance of the armed forces
and civilians alike during the
shooting war;" Brown voiced his
uncertainty about whether we know
what to do with victory; whether
we are adult enough to make just
and enduring peace; whether we
are capable of appraising our own
efforts with accuracy and objectiv-
ity, and whether the heroism we
have shown in war is of the staying
kind.
1t takes, Brown feels, undreamed
of wisdom to known what to do
with the atomic bomb and how to
cement the peace in the midst of
the extreme tension resulting from
the failure of the conference of for
eign ministers, in London, just as it
takes tremendous degree of moral
and spiritual courage to break with
past prejudices.
Citing Senators Wheeler and East
man as examples, Brown reminded
his audience that "the isolationists
and appeasers are already crawling
out of their holes and that we are
well into another war. But whether
it is war that will result in the
destruction of all mankind, or a wal
to continue peace, no one can, al
this point say"
Referring to recent comments by
the Hearst Patterson Nice ormick
press, which he said had "a notori-
Gus record for misunderstanding
what goes on in the world" Brown
said: ct is incredible that before
our tears are dry there should be
talk of another world war. Have
men died in vain, or have we learn
ed something from the deaths o.
TWENTY MILLION people?"
Brown touched also on such mat
tiers as: The suspicion that we have
brought upon ourselves by the too
rapid rehabilitation of our armed
