fort to aid the Sister Kenny

sis will take place Saturday,
with a Tag Day sponsored by
the Blue Star Mothers of Mich
igan, whose state president, Mrs.
Esther M. Whetzel, has been des-
ignated chairman of mothers
groups in the Kenny drive in
Michigan.
The Tag Day Is to provide
funds for treatment of infantile
paralysis victims through the
Kenny technique, and for train
ing of experts in this new as
suit on the beaded crippling dis
ease. Clinics will also be estab-
lished ard a national mobile unit
founded.
One half of the funds collect
ed in Michigan remain here, and
the other half goes to the ma
tional work.
Bing Crosby has been desig-
mated national chairman of the
appeal and recently stressed its
merits in his national broadcasts.
It has been pointed out that
the Sister Kenny foundation
does not receive any other ma

pendent on public aid in its fl
nancial drives.
Mrs. Whetzel has called for
volunteer Kenny Kommandos"
to aid in tomorrow's Tag Day.
They are asked to meet at the
Masonic clubrooms at 8 a. m.,
or report at any time of the day
for as many hours duty as they
can afford. Mount Clemens wo-
mems organizations are support
ing the project.

Blame Inmates
for Conditions
in Allied Camps
LANDSBERG, Germany, Dec.

LANDSBERG, Germany, Dec.
= -(R)- Blame for insanitary
conditions found at the displac-
ed persons camp here has been
laid almost equally to the in
mates themselves and UNRRA
authorities by IN inspection
group of four high American
officials.
The group. headed by 1t. Gen.
Walter Bedell Smith, U. s. Army
Chief of Staff in the European
Theater. found $500 homeless
Jews living in quarters designed
for 1900, with sanitary condi-
tions so bad that Smith told A.
A. Glassgold, the UNRRA camp
director, (of % West 23rd St.,
New York; II would be asham-
ed."
Smith had just inspected bar
racks where. human excrement
Uttered some Of the rooms. The
general later told a committee
of the camps inmates that "You
folks are not doing your part to
keep the place sanitary"
The investigation grew out of
charges by Lee Srole, the camps
welfare officer, that the inmates
were underfed, ill-clothed, over
crowded in unfit quarters and
menaced by the threat Of q "dis-
astrous epidemic" Srole, who
announced his resignation when
making the charges, said last
night he had reconsidered and
would stay on the job.
Accompanying Smith on a
special train from Frankfurt for
the investigation were 1t. Gen.
Lucian X. Truscott, commander
of the U. S. Third Army; Maj.
Gen. Albert w. Kenner, Surgeon
General for the European The
ater; Simon H. Rifkind, U. S.
Army advisor on Jewish affairs,
and a score of correspondents.
DR.. Kenner told Smith that.
with reasonable precautions,
there was no danger Of an cpl
demic. Kenner said there was
no evidence of malnutrition at
the camp, and that the food was
adequate, although short of un-
dergarments, and added the
quarters were sufficiently heat
ed by stoves.
Gen. Smith blamed much of
the overcrowding on Jews who
are slipping into the American
zone from the Russian and Brit
ish sectors at the rate Of nearly
5000 weekly. He estimated that
80 per cent of the repatriated
Jews are coming back, many OF
them with their families.
Smith told the inmates that
the Army would seek addition
al housing to ease the over
croWding.

Admiral Raeder, who main

his capture that he had no hand

merely a bluff old sea dog doing
his duty to his country, was dis
closed by his own records to
have sold Hitler on the idea of
invading Norway in October,
1939-five months before the in
vasion. He also arranged meet
ing between Hitler and Quisling
in December to polish up the
Fifth Column plot that aided the
invaders.
Quisling was executed as a
war criminal last October after
a trial in Oslo.
Rosenberg. head of the Nazi
Party's foreign section, was dis

Quisling agents were sent to
Germany for training and then
returned to Norway to open the

One of the highlights of Santa
Claus program last Christmas
was the fun he had when he Wis
tied the Mount Clemens Nursery
School over at Grace Parisi,
House. where Mrs. Vail Ellis
keeps little hands and minds So
busy with thrilling things to do,
Another invitation to visit
the Nursery School arrived IN
Santa's mail today. and he S
overjoyed to accept it. In the
letter of invitation, Marylin Far
her assures Santa that they have
all been good boys and girls, ana
that, presumably, includes Mary
lin. Santa hopes.
Suzon Braun is hoping that
they will soon pluck their
Christmas geese in Heaven so
that the fluffy feathers will de-
scend to blanket the earth -
which is the storybook way OF
hoping for snow. The nursery
kiddies want to build a fine
snowman to greet Santa at the
entrance to the school.
Besides planning to tell Santa
all their dreams of gifts for
Christmas, the children plan 10
practise their Christmas carols
and sing some jolly ones for him.
AS soon as the snow flies, the
Nursery School children had
better start watching for Santa
Claus.
Harvey, George and Mary
Ann Krantz, who live at l36
Court street, send in their gift
list to Santa, but add this note
in their childish handwriting:
"And please Santa, don't
forget the little boys and girls
in the countries that were
bombed. II you don't have
enough toys for them you
don't have to bring US as much
as we ask for, and share 1t
with them :"
Mary Ann is seven; Har-
vey is five, and George is SIX
years old. Their list of gifts is
typically boyish and girlish.
The boys want tractors, jeeps,
farm sets, walkie-talkies and
trains. Mary Ann wants a kew
pie doll. a buggy and wooden
beads.
Nedra Sue Widmer, is six
years old, and lives at 4O3 Sun
nybrook, Route 6. Nedra Sue
wants a blackboard. a sled with
metal runners; some doll clothes

TOKYO, Dec. 7 (P) -
Prison-bound Marquis Koichi
KIDD. Emperor Hirohito's closest
wartime advisor, labeled form
er Premier Hideki TOTO an elm
disputable war criminal in an
interview today.
He termed Prince Fumimaro
Konoye "borderline case" and
spoke out strongly against any
Allied move to place Hirohito
himself on trial.
KIDD emphatically denied re-
ports that the Emperor would
abdicate. He said that Hirohito

KIDD had been named in a new
list of nine war crimes suspects

"The black-robed KIDD show

peror as he pleaded that Hiro-
hito was not responsible for the

er wanted to conclude at several
stages Of the hostilities.

KIDD said it was not easy to hold
TOTO down because the driving

COME days ago Marshal Mont
~ gomery spoke to assembled
war correspondents.
His remarks were not only
highly important, but they
briefly revealed the situation in
which general finds himself
facing an enemy who has
achieved what is called "a tao
teal surprise"
This chatty informal and
very picturesque talk -is-a
classic.
Every word OF it Is precious
and should be preserved for the
study and reflection, not merely
of those who want to be good
soldiers, but of the informed
civilians. whose duty is to I'M
derstand the problems that face
soldiers, and what are the quail
ifcations of a good one.
The setting of Montgomerys
talk was as informal as Is the
man.
He assembled Allied corre-
spondents in a bare, unheated
church. mounted the rostrum,
and, wearing his beret, with his
hands in the pockets OF a para
chute soldiers uniform. which
had been his camouhage pro-
lection on numerous visits TO
troops in the front line, deliv-
