WITH THE AMERICAN Isl
ARMY EAST OF THE RHINE
Mar. 16 Delayed The colonel told
his story reluctantly. He kept in.
terrupting himself with "Oh, this Il
too long-you're not interested in
all this"
But it was the first graphic over
all picture of the Remagen epic
had heard. Now, nine days after II
had occurred, the colonel fitted the
piecemeal fragments together and
the victory won there seemed all the
more remarkable because of the
circumstances, some of which he
disclosed for the first time.
1t. Col. Leonard Engeman, Red
wood Falls, Mimi, was the leader
Of the task force assigned to cap
ture Remagen and Kripp on the
Rhine. This force included a COM
pany Of engineers, the 14th Tank
Battalion, the 80th Cavalry recon-
naissance squadron, a company of
tank destroyers and the 18th Field
Artillery.
Grueling Week.
Since the 9th Armored Division
crossed the Roer River on February
% Col. Engeman's tanks had led
a swift sprint to the east, which six
days later found them at Stadt-
Meckenheim, about nine miles from
Remagen and the Rhine. 1t had
been grueling week. The men
were weary from loss of sleep. The
show had been on a catch-as-catch
can basis.
About or o'clock Gen. Hoge

uty commander of the 9th Armored
Division) called all of his unit COM

said. He had wanted to push on to
the Rhine that night but We were
just exhausted.
I'VE decided to jump off at 7
o'clock in the morning. Our OBJ
jective was to take Remagen and
Kripp. The other wing was to
swing south of us and get to Boden-
dorf, Sinzig and the Abr River. We
had some 10-in-one rations and
went to bed In this old, bombed-out
house about 10 o'clock. The place
was full of plaster and Junk but
we found the cellar.

Shots Fired At IndOnesia Premier

BATAVIA, Dec. 26-(P)-Shots were fired at Premier Sjahrir, of the unrecognized Indonesian Re- public, and he was clubbed with a pistol butt in what Aneta, Dutch news agency, said was apparently an attempt of several Netherlands Indies soldiers to steal his car. "I don't think they knew who I was," Sjahrir was quoted by a cores pendent of Aneta.
 Four men in Dutch uniforms in another car pulled alongside the Premier's auto and fired three shots against the hood, forcing him to halt, Sjahrir reported. He said he had gotten out of his car when one soldier struck him with a pistol. He said a group of about fifteen men in all, approached the car, but fled upon the appearance of a British patrol.
 British military police arrested six soldiers, who said they were Eurasians and Surinamese.

CHUCKLES
DIS-ASSEMBLY LINE

The skipper of the new tanker Fort Moultrie, reporting to his employers, Deconhill Shipping Company of San Francisco:
 "This vessel has recently expe- rienced a great amount of trouble with the smaller pumps failing to function properly. The pumps were found to be in perfect condi- tion and no reason could be found for their failure until a pair of ladies' panties were taken from the suction pipe.
 "These were undoubtedly dis carded during the construction of the vessel in a moment of thought lessness and left lying in the tank, later finding their way into the pipeline. Other tankers built at the Swan Island shipyards have experienced similar difficulties.
 "In order that all may cooper ate 100 percent in the war effort and the total destruction of the Axis Powers, it is respectfully re- quested that the lady workers keep their pants on during work ing hours for the duration.

 Master, SS Fort Moultrie.' .'

 That is true" exclaimed Ack- erman.

The British Reaction

THE British reaction to the terms
Of the proposed American loan
is bitter mixture of anger and
Illustration, as reflected by the debate
in the House Of Commons which pre-
ceded acceptance of the terms.
The British are angry because
they think the terms are harsh.
They are frustrated because they
did not want loan" of money from
the United States at all, but an out
right GIFT of money.
In short instead Of being grateful
to the United States as so many naive
Americans had expected, the British
actually have very bad opinion
Of us.
Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin
summed up the British reaction when
he confessed TO the House of Com.
mons that he had the uncomfortable
feeling of coming away from a
money lenders office" at the con
clusion of the loan negotiations in the
United States.
GO NOW Uncle Sam is money

The last time he was "Shylock.
When are we going to learn that
Benjamin Franklin was very wise
man when he said that to loan money
to friend was to lose both money
and friend?
The British are curious people
They borrowed a great amount O.
money from us during and after the
first world war, and never paid it
back-and then got very mad at us
because we mentioned the matter a
few times, although we did so most
casually and finally dismissed the
matter altogether.
1t so happened that we got into
that war ourselves eventually, and
spent vast amount of money on our
own accountant finally wound up
paying both our own and Britain's
war costs.
Nevertheless, the British were
always of the opinion that they had
been very badly treated.
So when the next war came along,
the sensitive American government
being mindful of it's unhappy past
experience - conceived an entirely

different system of supplying Brit
aims war needs.
Instead of angering Britain again
and incidentally fooling ourselves
again-by pretending to "loan" the
great amount of money needed, we
simply ladled it out in a so-called
'lend-lease" program, the ultimate
total Of which to Britain's account
was some twenty five billion dollars.
SINCE we are not requiring or even
- suggesting repayment of this
total and vast amount Of money, we
had supposed there would be no oc-
'casion' for the British to be mad al
us again
OF course we had also gotten into
this second war ourselves, as we did
the first time, and had vast war ex-
penditures of our own - and once
more wound up paying our own bills
and Britain's too.
But this seems to have become
the thing expected Of us, and what
ever outcry the American people
have made against it has made no
impression on the American govern
ment.
However, when the postwar needs
of Britain became acute and required
additional American assistance, even
our government thought that any
further money provided in these cir
cumstances should ultimately be paid
back-with nominal rate of inter
est specified, although provision was
made for Britain to forego the pay
ment of interest,

60 THE British are mad all over
- again, likening us to the money
lenders and usurers of bad biblical
reputation.
1t obviously makes no difference
to the British how hard we come by
the money, which is only obtainable
by severe and confscatory taxation
against the wages of the American
people.
But it makes very real differ
ence to the American people.
Perhaps we should learn TO be
less sensitive of British feelings and
more considerate of vital American
interests.
