Germans Sold Slaves in
Koenigsberg, Reds Charge

LONDON. - The Moscow radio
said that a brisk slave market had
existed in Koenigsberg, capital of
East Prussia. at which adult per-
sons from occupied lands were sold
for about 10 marks (about 81 pre-
war; each. and children for S or
6 marks each.
The broadcast quoted a captured
German. identified as Erich Zwem-
mer, director of the market, as tell.
ing a Russian war correspondent:

areas of the Soviet Union. Poland,
France and Belgium passed through
the camp. I sold no fewer than rs, 00O

Schedules Sept. "a with
Normal School Year for
Ex-Servicemen, Civilians

Ex-Servicemen, Civilians
Butte.-Alfred Saterdal of Shar-
on, Mass, and Jack Warren Nord-
quist of Anaconda are believed 10
be two of the first ex-servicemen
in the United States, and the first
in Montana, to have completed
their formal education under the
G.. /. Bill of Rights. Both of these
young men we're students at Mon
tana School of Mines, left the
school to enter the army, both were
honorably discharged, returned to
the Mines and were graduated in
a formal commencement Tuesday,
June 26.
Both of these young men re-
ceived degrees of bachelor of
science in geological engineering,
at formal exercises held in the Ii
Museum building.
The commencement address was
delivered to the two former SOL
diers by Lieutenant Walter Welt,
commanding officer of the Navy
Viz unit at the Mines. DR.. Fran
els A. Thomson, president, was in
charge of the ceremony and con-
ferred the degrees.
In keeping with a long-estab-
lished policy of the School of
Mines, both of the seniors who arc
leaving school are already placed.
Both Saterdal and Nordquist will
join the United States Geological
Survey.
The commencement is also a
time for recognition of four ap-
prentice seamen who have COM
pleted their Viz work at the Mines
and leave for Midshipmen's school.
These are Arden F. Blair. Richey,
Montana; Harry M. Hunter, Jr.,
Albany, N. Y, son of an Army Of
ficer wounded in Europe; John P.
Leeds of Havre, and Robert J.
Scruton of Butte.
In February one student COM
pleted his studies and was grad
uated, giving the Mines three
graduates this year and the small
est formal commencement in the
schools history, due to the changes
to aid the war effort. Now Mon
tana School of Mines is making
every effort to extend the oppor-
tunities offered under the G. l.
Bill of Rights to many other re-
turning veterans.
The present Viz Navy unit
which has taken practically all of
the School of Mines facilities since
1912 will be closed in November
and a new formal year for return
ing veterans and civilian students
will start on Sept. "a.
Within a few days all of the
sailors now stationed at the Mines
will leave and a new group will
arrive about July /. The new stu.
dents will be here until November
when the Navy Viz unit will be
ended.
To give every possible aid to re-
turning veterans, DR.. Thomson is
considering giving sub-freshman
work to those veterans who have
not completed their high school
work, in order that they may pick
up their education where military
service interrupted it, and, at the
same time give these young men
a college environment.
The regular course Of study will
be resumed on September "a with
civilian and ex-servicemen coming
back to school from all parts Of
the world. Many former students
now in far-flung war zones have
written of their desire to return
and complete their courses and are
being given every possible aid by
Montana's mining institution.

went away to war;" whined
a woman to me in the market
the other day. "You see," she
went on, Larry was making

I looked at this woman in amaze

grieve bitterly if either is taken by
war. And yet she could stand there
and tell me, with a sort Of melan-
choly pride, that the welcome pro-
vided for the boys of the family is
going to be complaints, debts,
anxieties. responsibilities-no heart

solvency and security, no encourag-

just the old tedious complaining
and protesting against the general
injustices of fate.
Another woman wrote to her son
that she and his grandmother, who
have been living together, have had
so serious a disagreement that they
are going to law about it. She asks
him to answer several questions by
return mail: Does he remember his
grandmother saying that his mother
had been mixed up in an unsavory
love affair before her marriage; will
he testify that his grandmother
often called his mother ugly names,
and SO on.
The lonely son. wasting the best
years of his life in the bleak Aleu-

The argument pointing to the re-
suits Of compulsory CONSUMPTION in

according to many sources here, do
not hold water for the reason that
in those countries compulsory con-
scription encompassed military
service and men are subject to call
for military service at any time.

training. induction into the army or
navy for this purpose for one year.
After completion of the year, he is
demo5ilized and enrolled as a re-
servist for a period of six years, but
he cannot be subject to compulsory
military service during that period
or afterwards. except upon declara-
ton of a national emergency by the
congress.
1t seems to your Hometown
Reporter that the very name of
the committee conducting these
hearings is an answer to the
question at least for the imme-
date future-the House Com
mittee on Postwar Military Poll
cy. What is our postwar mill
tary policy? How would com
pulsory military training fit
into that policy?
II would seem that we must
first know just what that policy
is. what it contemplates, before
determining that every young
man must have this military
training. Do we contem-
plate maintaining a huge stand
ing army to man military bases
throughout the world? Will our
armies of occupation be of suf-
ficient size to constitute compul-
sorry CONSUMPTION as a neces-
SHY?
There is little doubt but that
our peacetime standing army must
be larger than heretofore. and that
we must maintain a large two-ocean
navy for security purposes. But will
not volunteer enlistments do the
job? What about ROTC units in the
colleges. universities and high
schools and the Citizen Military
Training camps? Could these enter.
prises be enlarged and expanded.
1t may be that the W to all
these questions will be obtained by
the house committee in the hearings
on the CONSUMPTION bills, but if not.
then they are getting the cart be-
fore the horse. At any rate, since
any policy adopted by the congress
is determined by the individual
thinking Of the people Of the ma.
ton. it is time everyone gave this
question serious thought.
The war and navy departments
contend that it is necessary to pass
this measure now because past ex.
perience has shown that after wal

Compulsory Military Training

WNU Washington Bureau
S2l Union Trust Building.
DROBABLY no other subject Is clos
l er to the American people at the
moment than the question of peace
time compulsory military training.
What we do in this respect will at
feet almost every home in the
hometowns and rural communities
Of the nation.
Since June 4 when hearings
started, the House Committee on
Postwar Military Policy has listened
to ream upon ream Of testimony
for and against this question, and,
OF course. there are arguments.
good ones. on both sides of the mat
ter.
On the one side. for compulsory
military training, we find our mill
tary leaders. Generals Eisenhower,
Macarthur, Marshall, Patton and
many others, Admirals King, MINI
itz and others. The departments Of
state. war and navy, President Tru-
man and the late President Roose-
welt. the American Legion and Vet
Grams Of Foreign Wars. plus the ma
tional polls which indicate from go
to more than 70 per cent of the peo-
pie are in favor Of this compulsory
training.
On the other side OF the fence, we
find arrayed labor organizations.
farm organizations. educational and
church organizations, various peace
groups and many other pressure
groups, plus many outstanding indi-
viduals, such as former Secretary
Of the Navy Josephus Daniels -
all opposed to the idea.
Some Of these organizations are
prompted by selfish motives. others
from a sincere and honest standpoint,
point to compulsory CONSUMPTION
in other nations as leading to i'm
p~erialism and war. such as in
France and Germany. Educators.
for instance, fear that If there is a
hiatus Of nj year when a boy
reaches 10 and graduates from high
school. it may interfere with his en-
tering college. Farm leaders fear
loss of 1~8-year-olds from the farms
during planting and harvest ca
sons will hurt agricultural produc-
ton. Labor leaders fear military
training may breed antagonism and
distrust of labor unions. Others de-
clare that blind obedience such as
is required in military discipline is
un-American and contrary to the
American spirit of independence.

In them will be rather stodgy, where
as rooms that have only modern
things in them will probably be Gym
ical and cold. But fine traditional
room with comments that are mod

scintillating and provocative. And q

But to be specific-if You have
modern furniture that seems harsh

pretty enough, consider putting it
against simple medallioned wall
paper. Or think over the idea of q
splashy flowered chintz for slip cow
ers and draperies to be assembled;
with your modern pieces. Or maybe;
some old prints, or a set of old
china on the wall will give your,
modern room warmth and ease.
On the other hand maybe you
are challenged by some Victorian
chairs that you like, but not In con-
text SO to speak. Well, use sleek
modern-looking material for their
upholstery, arrange them In q
smooth uncluttered modern setting
and see If you don't Immediately

A group Of lads ask: what kind
Of boys do girls like?" Well, girls
aren't SO chooSy nowadays when
boys are scarce and getting scarcer
and any kind Of date is date.
Apparently they realize this is no
time to look a gift-wolf in the
mouth and anything in pants, from
the kindergarten up, is welcome.
Still and all, the bobby -sockers
have their standards by which they
rate a boy, and while they may not
turn down one who fails to come up
to the mark, they don't swoon over
him. And no lad likes that. He
wants to be the answer to maiden's
prayer, not Just a makeshift.
Naturally not all girls fall for the
same line of masculine charms
Their tastes differ In boys as they
do In hats or chewing gum, but there
are certain basic qualities that are
a surefire hit with the entire cutie
brigade, and a prudent youth does
well to equip himself with them
before he ventures out among the
lovelies.
The most important of these Is
poise. The boy who has that has q

around in the world and she likes a
boy who does; who knows what to

Of head walters, and gets what he
wants from theater ushers and taxi
drivers without getting into a row
with them.
Girls like boys who have good
manners. The vital necessity with
