They believe even the most vio-
lent falsehoods because they had
read them in Das Reich" he said
They would exclaim, There, you
see, Goebbels himself says So
Unable to Think.
MY Wehrmacht comrades talked
almost like young Waffen SIS SOL
diers. They accepted everything the
Nazis told them. They had become
absolutely unable to think for them
selves.
Remember, for II years they have
been confined, as if in prison. They
have nothing with which to compare
Nazi propaganda. They have heard
only Nazi propaganda.
1T is the younger ones who swal-
low 1t without reservation. Those in
their late 30s and older are often
skeptical, but even many of them
take political problems in a naive
and childish way.
Among the Wehrmacht generally
there are few 100 per cent Nazis, as
such. But all are infected with
anti-Semitism. 1t will be impossible
for Jew to return to Germany
after the war.
In that respect the Nazis have
won a big victory-inside Germany.

World Diamond Cartel
.Retards War Output,
Government Suit Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The Gov
ernment filed a civil injunction suit
In Federal Court today against what
it termed a world cartel in gem
and industrial diamonds, which al
legedly slowed up American wal
production.
Nine foreign corporations ano
seven individuals in the United
States were named defendants.
The Government also clamped q
freeze" order against accounts esti-
mated at millions of dollars" in 2e
Manhattan banks.
Assistant Attorney General Wen
dell Berge said the defendants i'm
ported annually into the United
States approximately LOCO, 900 GEM
carats of diamonds, valued at about
$100, ,000, 900, and between 1000, ,0O(
and 100000, carats of industria
diamonds. He would not estimate
the value of the industrial diamonds
because of military restrictions.
Mr.. Berge. who filed the com
plant. said the effect of the alleged
conspiracy was to limit and restrain
the production of diamonds for sale
in the United States; to maintain
monopolistic and exhorbitant prices
on all diamonds sold to the United
States market; to compel American
dealers and consumers to purchase
diamonds from the cartels selling
agency, under terms and conditions
of sale fixed by the defendants, and
to prevent agencies of the United
States Government from obtaining
industrial diamonds to establish a
stockpile for military purposes.

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 29-The man
I know as Karl is deserter from
the German Wehrmacht, a refugee
now happily in neutral Sweden after
long and bitter fighting on the east
ern front against the Red Army.
In the words of Karl the German
soldiers want to get through with
the whole business as soon as posi-
BILE. Their fatigue after the long
retreats through Russia is being
minimized by the spectacle Of what
they think will happen if the Red
Army overruns Germany.
They have an exceedingly bad
conscience, all Of them. for they
know what the Wehrmacht soldiers
have done inside Russia and they
are absolutely convinced that the
Russians will take revenge in the
same way.
Afraid of Russians.
They are afraid that the Russians
will burn and murder as the Ger
mans did during the battles to and
from Stalingrad And after what
have seen my German comrades
do in Russia I would not blame the
Red Army for anything they do in
Germany"
Why have the Wehrmacht soldiers
kept on fighting so long in the face
of constant retreats and enervating
fatigue?
The deserter's answer should be
studied carefully by those who fail
to realize exactly how much bitter
fighting lies ahead of all the Allied
peoples-at the fronts and on the
home production line. His reply
should quiet those short sighted
optimists who think We can defeat
Germany without long, heartbreak-
ing struggles every single inch OF
the way into Berlin.
Karl said Every private Is NOR

perior, the corporal. and every cor

cipline, knowing how quickly they

Now they are fighting for their
own homes and they will fight until

icism. I have lived and fought with
it.
Kept on Fighting.
They kept on fighting long be-
fore they reached East Prussia be-
cause they saw nothing else to do
They said they might as we'll con-
tinue fighting because if they didn't,
the only thing left was to shoot
themselves-or be shot by their own

Bill by Chavez Asks
That D. {. Residents
Be Given Local Jobs

Carrying out a promise he made
late in the old Congress, during the
Senate-f1oor fight over confirmation
of Marshall L. Shepard to be Dis
trict recorder of deeds, Senator
Chavez. Democrat, of New Mexico
today introduced a bill to require a
f1ve-year bona fide District resi-
dence for appointments to many
posts in the municipal government.
Under his bill, the five-year resi-
dence prerequisite would apply to
all city positions where appoint
ments are made by the President, to
the offices of United States attorney
or United States marshal, or to all
of the District courts.
In the case of the court appoint
ments, the Chavez bill would require
not only f1ve-year residence in the
District, but also would require that
Tor an equal period the candidate
must have served as Judge of such
courts or for five years to have prac-
ticed law before the District Court
or to have had a combination of
service here as judge or practicing
attorney.
An announcement that he would
sponsor such legislation was made
late last year by Senator Chavez
when he engaged in the battle over
confirmation of the PHILADELPHIA
colored minister to be District re-
corder. Senator Chavez made clear
that he was not opposing Mr.. Shep-
ard as an individual, but he rebelled
against making policial plum of
District job.
In this position he had the sup
port of Senator McCarran, Demo-
crat of Nevada, chairman of the
Senate Judiciary Committee and
former chairman of the. Senate Dis
trict Committee, as well as a num-
Der on the Republican side. The
court positions to which the Chavez
bill refers are the United States
Court of Appeals, the District
Court, the Municipal Court of Ap-
peals, the Municipal Court and the
Juvenile Court.
