TWO YOUNGSTERS
 HELD FOR THEFT
Series of Petty Burglaries Solved With Apprehen-
 sion of Youngsters

An extensive series of minor breaks and .hefts were solved this week with the apprehension of an II and a B year old boy by Detective Sgts. Charles McWeeney and An- thony Mariana. The boys were trned over to juvenile authorities by Chief Detective Inspector Joseph R. Bender.
 The boys admitted that on Jan- uary Il they entered the Federal Baking Company through trap door and took $6. A week later they returned and got $9.
 On February 1 they climbed up a fire escape at the Miller and Peck Store and made off with two March of Dimes collection boxes. Earlier taht evening they broke the transom at the State restaurant. 180 South Main street, but were unable to gain entrance.
 On February 2 they entered the Handy Kitchen for coffee and crul- lers and walked out with the owners wife's pocketbook. and a March of Dimes collection box. They took two Salvation Army collection boxes from Liggets and Riker's res- taurant before their apprehension.

Germans are ready to surrender"
 There are many indications from interviews of prisoners and from reading between the lines in Ger man papers, etc, that Goebbels' machine has succeeded in raising in the Germans the last deter imitation of despair necessary to continue the war. AS an example, I quote letter written only a few weeks ago from a German girl to a Corporal Gunther, evidently her husband-to-be.
 NO ILLUSIONS
 We will begin a new life after the end of this war and victory which is within our grasp at Ger manyS gates. But what kind of life will it be? Certainly not life of happiness and illusions. No, a life of work, sorrow and misery. But we will trust in our Fuehrer and give our fate into his hands. He, the military genius and pro- tector of our time, will show us the right way The opportune mo- ment has not arrived. Only when the hordes come closer and make our homeland like a desert, then with weapons we will fight and chase them back. am convinced that this is the way it will be and that we get closer and closer to victory"
 The German people are thus infected by the philosophy of the twilight of the gods and the end of the history of civilized man. kind, spread by Goebbels. AS long as such letters are possible, there is no reason to doubt that Goeb- bels has succeeded in making the Germans fight to the last. The idea that the Germans fight fol civilization, while 1t seems idiotic to us, seems logical to the Ger mans

The story went on to point out that thhe little girl had succeeded in getting into her home after both CT grandmother and her aunt had been refused permission. The Col onel, himself lonely for his wife and children i'll New York, concluded his tale of the incident my saying: Its going to be hard on us if these Wretched Germans are going to make us fight their kids as well as their soldiers"
 BEWARE!
 This is precisely what they intend and given American and English mentality, they get away with it. From the viewpoint of psychological warfare, this episode must be con- sidered great German victory. No matter what the Colonel thought and no matter that he saw through the ruse, what about the American soldiers taking the child home and their feelings? What about the re- porter who wrote the story and the million Londoners who read 1t?
 Beware! The war is not over yet and the United Nations are still horror stricken about atrocities committed by the Nazis. Yet al- ready propaganda has begun to urge us to have pity on the poor, starving, freezing German children and women, the same women who still are hoping to annihilate us.

as a feeding station so that the food may be easily accessible. All schools, including those in country districts, should make a regular practice of feeding the birds.
 Bread crumbs, table scraps, in- termediate size chicken scratch grain and sun flower seeds are all good foods. A piece of suet hung in nearby tree is always well come.
 Usually overlooked in feeding birds is the fact that no bird can digest It's food without gravel, and when the ground is covered with snow this is impossible to get. Therefore. very fine gravel should be mixed with the food. If this is purchased 1t Is well to buy two sizes, the intermediate and the baby check size.

Goebbels is interested not only in prolonging the fight, but also in building up propaganda for after the war. This propaganda, at least during the first years, must tend to picture Germans to the troops of occupation and people of the world in general as nice and pc aceful" All the elements to cre- ate compassion and sympathy will be used This propaganda is already in full swing and it is alarming to see that Allied papers, without knowing it of course, fall for 1t.
 The London Daily Mail recently ca:1ied a sob story from the Ninth Army front, concerning an American Colonel and 8 seven-year-old Ger man child. The little girl had re- turned to her home in frontier village, contrary to military orders, because she was hungry and wanted to get her apple jam, her shoes and her fathers tobacco.

'1ST-TRIP PILOT
 SAVESB-2SC CREW

 Saipan, Delayed) (UP) - The crew might have been just bit chilly toward their B-29 plane commander. They were veterans of missions over Tokyo and he was in his first trip. And when they were ready for this bombing mis- sion a borrowed" navigator came abroad to sub for the regular navi- gator who had been hospitalized for knee injury.
 Fifteen hours and 36 minutes later the Superfortress, already chalked up on the operations broad as having "ditched," sagged down on the runway and before it could taxi to its hardstand Its three good engines coughed and died from lack of fuel. The fourth engine did not have ap propeller.
 There was a slight pause when the crew clambered out of the giant siuvery plane. Then a voice said: Boy, what a pilot. He's in"
 The pilot was lst It. Robert E. Engle of Price, Utah.
 Engine Goes Out off Japan One minute from the coast of Japan an engine became disabled and the prop was "windmilling." To feather the prop would be the signal for Japanese flgster planes to pick up on the crippled Super fort. To turn back would invite disaster and to continue the target run might be worse. But Engle didn't hesitate. He went on in and the plane dropped its bombs.
 Following his formation on out to sea Engle discovered the prop couldn't be feathered. So he throttled back to an airspeed only a few miles above stalling speed to try to offset the terrific strain on the plane causedby the wild pro- pellor.
 The unit leader, now far ahead of the struggling, crippled plane messaged he was sendinf back a plane to stay with the "crip"
 It. Engle answered: Whats the use of endangering two planes? If we must ditch we can ditch alone"
 For hours Engle and the crew fought to keep the huge superfort struggling along just above stall ing speed. The gas supply became desperately low and Engle notified his base by radio that he was pre- parting to ditch.
 l Propeller Flies Of
 Here bit of luck aided them The windmilling uropeller lost it's battle with heat and friction and flew off its hub into space. Flying on this borrowed" time Engle and Staff Sgt. Dooley Harry Rogers of ! Ireland, Tex, flight engineer, "sweated' the plane back to its base
 When we rolled to the end of the runway the engines were pull ing very little gas and lost of air." quipped Rogers.
