FRANKFURT. -Re Communi-
cations in Germany are in cha
otto condition but grapevine is
spreading a great many rumors
which military government Off
GERS believe are inspired by NaZis
and Nazi sympathizers.
THE wilder the rumor the fast
err it Spreads" said 1t. Col. R. K.
Phelps of Saginaw, Mich, COM
mander of the Frankfurt military
government detachment.
Here are a few of the rumors
and comment by the military gov
eminent:
Marriage will b e forbidden
among Germans for period OF
five years" No suchvregulation is
being considered.
"Any woman who gives birth to
more than a certain number Of
children, variously three Or four,
must pay a penalty of 1000
Reichsmarks. This is almost too
ridiculous to bother denying and
has no basis in fact, but it seems
the Germans will believe any
thing. .--.-
German universities will not be
permitted to open for many
years" Plans are being consid-
cred to open universities as soon
as. teaching ~staffs test books

Hitler's Whereabouts

Argentina doesn't fancy reports that Hitler
and his lady love are basking under the Pata-

story that they are happily enshrined in the
Antarctic.
Buenos Aires dispatch quotes the news
paper Critica of that city as saying they are IN

to have been built during a German expedi-
ton to that section in 1888 and 1899.

he was a traitor to Germany
The answer to that is the same
as for Goering-wait and see.

Their rations are smaller be-
cause the Germans no longer can
rob other countries of food, trans
portation has broken down, and
there is not enough food on farms
to feed the people as they are
accustomed to being fed. The Ger
mans haven't begun to feel the
hunger they forced on other peo-
pies, but they will unless they pro-
duce more of their own food.

Editorial Comment
THE HIGHEST DECORATION

A visitor at the home of Eugene O'Neill
was told by the playwright: Come with me
for moment. I want to show you some
thing of which I am very proud He led the
guest to the dresser in his bedroom and
started rurnmaging through the drawers.
ONeill pushed aside the Pulitzer Prize medal
he won for Anna Christie; he pushed aside
the second Pulitzer Prize medal he won for
Beyond the Horizon" He tossed aside the
Nobel Prize parchment, found another docu.
ment and held it Up "Here. This is it, said
O'Neill, and displayed his ablebodied seaman

Norwegians Plenty Sore

Some seventy-odd days have passed since
the German surrender and no German troops
have been removed from Norway. Their pres
ence is proving trial for the Norwegian PEG
man occupation and who are still unrelievcd
of many of the burdens they were compelled
to shoulder by their prosecutors. We read in
an Onslo dispatch:
"A sore point is the fact that the over
whelming mass of green-clad Germans are
enjoying themselves lolling in water, basking
in the sun on the beaches, and lovely noun
tain lakes, and strolling aimlessly about the
beautiful countryside while Norway itself is
faced with desperate shortage OF manpoWer
to avert a grave fuel shortage next winter.
Another sore point is the filth left by the
Germans The same dispatch adds:
"This correspondent visited the debris-lit-
tered flth-encrusted Gestapo prison and tor
lure chambers at Victoria Terasse, where, the
Germans had made last minute efforts to de-
stroy much as possible the evidence Of
their crimes
Victoria Terasse proved to be only one
example of the disgracefuI manner in which
the Germans carried on during the last weeks
or months before peace.
THE stately Furulund Villa, near Oslo,
which served as a Gestapo baston and COM
municatious center during the last months of
occupation, was sim unbelievably filthy after
days of Norwegian effort to clean it up.
1T is the same story with schools, hospit-
ais, and other public buildings which the Ger
mans used for military purposes.

were required before the quarters approach.

Germans are concentrated in a rail-junctior

Too Bad

In view Of the extra -curricular activities OF
Elliott Roosevelt while his father was in the
White House which Westbrook Pegler has

during the Harding administration, and was
as ardent a democrat then as he is repuo-

From then on there was new life

On Feb. 2, a delegation of Ohio

He told them he was opposed to
