The Army Knows AM The Answers--Any Questions?

c. I have daughter in the WAC. Gan I receive substantial Allowance from the government and also re- ceive a pension as widow of a veteran of World War l? M. S., New Bedford.
 A. The fact that you receive a government pension would not make you ineligible for Family Al loWance from your daughter. If you are dependent upon her for at least a substantial degree of sup port. and this fact is established by certificate, and your daughter 5 consent obtained, payment would be made to you.
 Q. My son has been wounded and is now in the hospital. He has been there for almost three months. I've been told that at the end of three months, if he is still in the hospital, my Family Allowance will be dis continued until he returns to active duty. Is this SOP. K. R. Medford.
 A. No, it is not so. Your Family Allowance will not be discontinued because of your sons hospitaliza- ton, regardless of the length Of time he remains there.
 Q. My husband is soon to enter the Army. I work and will have to continue to do so. Am I still en- titled to receive the Family Allow ance payable to a soldiers wife? J. M. Newton.
 A. Yes, you are entitled to receive Family Allowance. The wife of a soldier does not have to be depend ent upon him in order to receive payment.

 1 A. Personal belongings of de- ceased servicemen overseas are sent to the Personal Effects Quartermas- ter, Quartermaster Depot, Kansas City, Mo, and from there to the soldiers next of kin. This may take six months or more. If you do not receive them at the end of a six-month period, you may wish to write to that address.
 Q. I receive monthly payment of National Service Life Insurance as my son was killed in action over- seas. At this time my family is in urgent need of an amount of money and there is nowhere we can get It but from the insurance.

BY CURT RIESS NEA Staff Correspondent

Berne, May 3.-FranZ von Pa pen may be a prisoner today, but that does not mean that he was taken prisoner by the Allies a few days ago. The real story, which is contrary to official reports, may be somewhat more involved and per haps somewhat sinister.
 According to my information, von Papen was in one of the Al lied capitals only two weeks ago, If this is so, the implication is that von Papen tried to negotiate peace with the Allies on behalf ot some future German government. In order to save himself, he refused to go back into Germany and the arrest was staged to make oftl- cial a situation which already had existed for some time unofficialIy.
 This correspondent wrote as ear ly as the middle of December that von Papen was in Lisbon trying to negotiate with the Allies, but was given the cold shoulder. This cor respondent also said in the middle of December that the von Rund- stedt offensive had particularly surprised the Allies because von Rundstedt had been the man be- hind von Paper when he sued for an armistice.
 At the time this seemed rather far fetched But only a few days ago the Allies openly admitted that von Rundstedt had sued for an ar mistice and even offered capitula- ton, though at that time von Pa pens name was not mentioned.
 However, there are many indica- tions that von Papen never re- turned to Berlin or Berchtesgaden when his mission failed. Shortly after the von Rundstedt offensive collapsed and the Allies entered the Saar we made Frau von Papen prisoner under circumstances which indicated that this lady de- sired to become our prisoner. Or perhaps she had been in our hands for some time and this was the only way of making the situation official.
 This could easily be understood, because at that time many friends of von Papen and his co-conspirat- ors for making peace were still within reach of the Gestapo.
 "PHONEY?"
 If the finding of Frau von Pa pen was somewhat strange, the dls- covery of her husband seems out right phoney. On the one hand. his son seemed only tCo willing to betray the whereabouts of his fath- CT. while old von Papen seemed surprised and shocked that the Americans arrested him. Needless to say if von Papen had been in- side Germany and had wished to evade Allied arrest he could still be with the other Nazis.
 On the other hand, if he were all the time in Allied hands and the pre-arrangement was to make it public when von Papen's hunt ing lodge was reached, everything falls into place. Somebody cooked up the story of father and son and thus von Papens face was saved.
 Such face-saving may have been the necessary though unhappy duty of those who negotiated with von Papen. However, it will all be dit- ficult to explain to the peoples of Europe, including those Germans who are opposed to Hitler, all Of whom know that von Papen IS guiltier than most Nazis and war criminal, if such a word makes any sense

You bet, it was slippery, sidewalks, streets, last night and this fore neon. Twas a case of now you see it, then you don't. You thought the walk was clear-it was of sand-but there was thin coating of glare ice and you found this out You either fantastically slipped, movie fashion, along, or you went bump
 The snow fall of yesterday melted under the rain, exposing the ice in all it's slipperiness.
 Traffic was also having trouble. Cars could not make the hills, either slid back or criss-crossed the streets and then pull-outs resulted, auto lists being helpful to those in trouble.
 So continue to be careful Nuf said.
