BALTIMORE, July 10.-"If you
build a better mouse trap" the
adage goes-and a Baltimore hotel
believes 1t has.
The trap is in the form Of q
wooden box, 8 feet long, 18 inches
high and wide, complete with auto
matte lights, doors for entrance and
exit, and ramp over which the
animal tries to escape-only to be
electrocuted.
But first, the management ad-
mitted, you have to get the rat-or
mouse-into the box.

 Cordell Hull, then Secretary of State, and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson had confer ence on this subject and out of it grew an Interdepartmental Board on Prisoners of War, made up of representatives from State, War, Navy and Justice Depart ments.
 The job of re-orienting the Ger man prisoners was handed to Lieut.. Col. Edward Davison-the same lieutenant colonel whose interview with General Won Ar him was reported at the begin ming of this article. Davison was made head of a Prisoner of War Special Projects Division" in the

work out of them, and to work them 10 hours a day whenever and where ever it could.
 On the side, the policy has been to feed them litle healthy theology to stimulate an attitude of respect for the United States and it's institutions. To begin with, nobody had any ideas that the Nazis could be Americanized or democratized, but if unexpect- ed dividends of that kind are earned, the coupons will be cashed in.
 DANGER OF RETALIATION
 Two years ago when this pro- gram first began, the the problem was a little different. At that time the United States held only a few thousand German prison CTS and the Nazis held several times as many Americans. The danger of NaI retaliation on U. s. captives was then real, but there was another danger that was even greater.
 This was that the German prls-

Washington, June 19-A lieuten- ant colonel of military police who had been given the job of inspecting camps for German prisoners of war in the United States was question ing a famous German general at camp for top rank officer prison CTS in Georgia The general was the once proud and tough Fritz Von Arnim, commander of the Afrika Korps. He was a different general now-beaten, broken, older and lot wiser
 At the end of the interview he had a request to make.
 Do give us," he said, "all the material you can on America. May be if we had known more about the United States We"
 Then he caught himself and, re- membering what he had been, would not go on.
 How he would have finished that sentence has always puzzled the MP lieutenant colonel Won Arnhim might have said, wee would have planned differently" or he might have said, we wouldn't have started this war at all"
 Whatever he had intended to say, this incident is important be- cause 1t reveals better than any survey could possibly do that the smart German prisoners of war held in this country have figured out for themselves a healthy re- spect for the United tSates and have learned some lessons they aren't going to forget.
 Without knowing it, the German PW's have been encouraged to suck this wisdom out of their thumbs Won Arnim, for instance, along with his fellow general-prisoners, got in- formation about the United States information of the type that would do the most good.
 COULDN'T TALK
 Up until now, says Maj. Gen. Archer L. Le rch, the Provost Mar shal General, the Army has been unable to talk about reedducating German priosner in this country. Army has been damned all over the lot for not doing anything about this while actually it has been doing lot. But it couldn't talk for two reasons. First and foremost, it didn't want the German prisoners t know that they were being re- oriented on some of their Nazi ideas. Now that Germany is defeated, that doesn't make any difference.
 Second, it was feared a few loud-mouthed elements in the United States would misunder- stand what was being done and, just to stir up little excitement, would start yelliny that the Nazi prisoners were being mollycoddled.

German Prisoners Of War De-Nazified
 By Army's Unique Re-orientation Plan

Ofice of the Provost Marshal General. The name sounds in- nocent enough, but hidden be- hind that name plate is faSci- mating story of intelligence work which has until now never been told.
 Dawson was professor of English at the University of Colorado, a writer, poet and lec- turer who got his knowledge of Germany through Guggenheim fellowship. He was in the last war, and was in the Morale Services division under General Osborn when he was tapped on the shoulder and given the as- signment of seeing what could be done about strengthening out some of the twisted thinking of Nazi PW's.
 To re-orient Nad thinking of German prisoners of war brought to the United States, books, news papers, magazines, camp papers, schools, lecture courses, corre- spondence courses, pamphlets, guide books, radio, photograph records and movies are employed.
 GERMANS LEARN
 As each of the German prison- CTS lands in this country, he is given a little pocket U. s. guide printed in German. Germans haven't any idea how big the United States is. Some of the pris- oners sent to Texas got the idea the train was being run around in circles just to confuse them and make them think they were long way from everywhere, and con- pletely lost.
 A little history of the U. s. will follow the guide book. ,I It is only 12 chapters long, leaving out all the stuff that drives even Ameri- can kids crazy. Howard Mum ford Jones of Harvard wrote it sticking to the broad outlines.
 A book on the U. s. educationa system will follow, telling how free it is. German prisoners don seem to understand that, because there isn't any national bureau o. education at the top, stufinG American full of doctored ideas. book on American industry has alsc been scheduled.
 Before Davison began to buile up his organization about a yea1 and half ago, he made tour o. PW bases and camps to see wha he had to deal with. Before any. thing positive could be done to- wards re-orienting the German prisoners. the Army had to stor a lot of things that were being done wrong.

Also, we wanted no retaliation.

Also, we wanted no retaliation.
 Major General Lerch, head of the Military Police, and his deputy, Brig. Gen. B. M. Bryan, in charge of the 150 prisoner of war base camps and $50 branch camps in this country, are no softies. They are tough cops, and have to be. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you give the order to shoot German pri- soners of war? Make it even simpler than that. Would you yourself be willing to go out and shoot those prisoners, ruthlessly, as the Germans shot down 150 U. s. prisoners dur ing the aBttle of the Bulge last winter.
 One other punishment that might have been meted out to the German PW's in retaliation would have been to order them put on bread and water. How much work could have been gotten out of the prisoners on that diet? The Army policy has consistently fol- lowed the line of giving them enough calories to get a good days
