Grim Nazi Plight Unfolded
by Gripsholm Repatriates

NEW YORK, Feb. % - (P)
- Merchant seamen repatriated
on the Swedish liner Gripsholm
brought back to America today
a picture of critical food condi-
tions in their Nazi prison camp
conditions they said were ag-
gravated by Allied bombing of
German transportation facili-
ties.
Transportation in Germany
is shot TO hell" said Capt. Hen
ry Stephenson of New Rochelle,
n. Y. whose ship was torpedo
ed in the Atlantic in 1912 and
who spent more than two years
in a camp Is miles from Brem-
en-.
Capt. Stephenson said there
had been only one issue of Red
Cross food parcels in the camp
when he left last Jan. Is and
because of the disrupted trans
portation there was little chance
of more getting through.
Allied bombings have been so
effective, some seamen said, II

only eight hours.

all captured after their ships
were sunk by the Germans,
were among the first to disem-
bark when the Gripsholm arriv-
ed at Jersey City yesterday
from Marseilles with 1909 pas
scngers.
Also aboard were 463 Ameri-
can soldiers and 70 Canadian
military personnel, all i'll or
wounded. The Americans were
taken to Halloran General Hos
pital, where they were to be in
terviewed today, and the Ca
nadians to Canada. Only a few
of the 548 United States civil
ians and "a Latin-American ma
tons aboard were permitted to
leave the ship last night.
The repatriates found 1t diff
cult to express their joy at be-
ing back on American soil,
which some never expected to
see again.

Nude Woman's Body
Found in Balhiub
Link Cose to Bizarre
killino in Chicooo

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. % -
Pl-- A likeness of handwriting
on hotel registrations has linked
the strange death of nude wom-
an in a bathtub here with an al
most identical case in Chicago,
Detective Chief John J. Grosch
said today.
Grosch said a Chicago hand
writing expert, whom he did not
identify, had found the registra-
ton handwritings in the two
bathtub deaths TO be that of the
same man, although different
names were used in registering.
Miss Laura Fischer. former
New York textile worker, was
found dead in a hotel here last
December, after registering with
a man as Mr.. and Mrs. D. j.
Stafford of Chicago. The man
left before the woman's body
was found, after asking that
the room not be disturbed.
This week Mrs. Blanche Zim-
norman. 38, was found dead in
the bathtub of Chicago hotel
room. A man registered for the
room and. before checking out,
he left DO Not Disturb" sign
on the door.
The bodies Of both women
were found in about six inches
Of water. No marks of violence
were evident An autopsy on
Miss Fischer failed to show the
presence Of poison or water in
the lungs. Likewise, no water
was found in the lungs of the
Chicago woman.

A Tribute To Mothers
"Honor thy father and thy mother that
thy days may be long in the land which
the Lord, thy God, giveth thee"

Think you because that beautiful matronly brow
is silvered with the dews of Time, that the heart is
also grown old? Nay apathy can never lessen
mothers love! Though her gray hairs fall over
brow all wrinked, and cheek all furrowed, there
is heart still beating with pure and holy affec-
ton; mothers love Who can sound its unfath-
enable depth? Time has failed to do so, and eter-
nifty will bear witness to its sanctity.
Young man-love your aged mother Her face
is careworn, but her heart is ever warm Years of
trials and of Sickness perhaps have stolen the fresh
of her life, but like the matured rose the per-
fume of her love is richer than when in its first
bloom. Washington loved his mother
Young woman-love the tree of your existence
Sweetness is yours-avish it upon the aged form of
your devoted mother. Affection is lasting debt
that be overpaid. Pour nectar into
the fainting heart strew her path with your most
grateful smiles; and smooth the downy pillow upon
which rests her palsed frame. Her dying lips will
breathe prayer for your happiness the world will
admire and cherish your devotedness; and Heaven
will bless you Flowers of joy will blossom in your
path; friendship will ripen your harvest; and love
will crown your existence!
I'm whose principles" said the dying daughter
of Ethan Allen to her skeptica father-"in whose
principles shall die-yours, or those of my Chris
tan mother?" The stern old hero of Ticonderoga
brushed tear from his eyes he turned away,
and with the same rough voice which summoned the
British to surrender, now tremulous with deep
ton, said: I'm your mothers, child = in your
mothers!"
Love your mother! Yes; and the very ashes of
the sainted dead will pray for your welfare moth
er's love-a mothers wealth of love - is great
that the power of death and the victorious grave
cannot extinguish its quenchless flame!

Mr.. George Wood, eulogist for
the Owls, in an impressive adj

In ways of sympathy; no soul

But may awaken strong and glor-
