II. j. Brakeman, prominent
real estate analyst and tax con-
sultant will be the guest speak
er at the Mount Clemens Rotary
Club luncheon M Getting on
Thursday. His subject will be:
Finding Jobs for Sixty Million. I"
Brakeman was sent to England
in 1888 by a Detroit newspaper
for the purpose of studying taxa
ton trends. Since 1888 he has
been guest lecturer at Wharton
School of Finance and Com
merce, at the University of
Pennsylvania.
At last Thursdays meeting, H.
j. Lyons. of the Detroit Board
of Commerce spoke on Pattern
of Prosperity. commentary on
the inter-dependence of city and
farm residents. He stated that
60 per cent of all raw materials
alone are produced by farms and
before the war the average farm
family had an annual income of
S625, or less than 25 cents an
hour wage for the farmer. The
speaker urged closer cooperation
between the businessman and
farmer to reduce costs and in
crease farm incomes.
Guests at the luncheon were

Guided in the set are some of the
best books that were banned by
Hitler. Erich Maria Remarque' S
"All Quiet on the w e I e n
Front" is the first title. Most
Germans who grew up under
Hitler never read it, never even
heard of it. Thomas Mann
Magic Mountain" Heine's po-
etry, Franz Werfels Song of
Bernadette, and other authors
Hitler feared, are included.
Half dozen modern Amer
lean authors are in the next Sc
ries of this special German Ii
brary. Mark Twain's "Huckel-
berry Finn" Wendell Wilkes
"One World" Ernest Heming-
ways For Whom the Bell
Tolls" William Saroyans' Time
of Your Life" are available.
Movies have presented a SIM
liar problem. In Germany, the
Hitlerites deliberately showed
American gangster and high So
ciety scandal films, just to con-
vince the German people what
a decadent lot the Americ is
were. When prison camp the
aters were opened, this same
type of film began to appear.
That's all changed. A new PW
circuit eliminates the fantasy
film, and good hard realism will
make the rounds. ABE Lincoln
of Illinois," Union Pacific"
"Cimarron," and good film
stories of American life like 1T
Happened One Night" are
shown.

Freedom of American Press is Amazing
TO Ndzi POWs Nurfured on Propaganda

WASHINGTON - &c m n
prisoner of war interest in the
last u. S. national elections was
enormous. The PW's were amaz-
ed that the newspapers could
say the things they did about
both Roosevelt and Dewey.
There being no political censor
ship of the u. S. press, some of
the freedom of speech backfired
a little as the ardent Nazis in the
camps seized on criticisms of
Roosevelt for dragging us into
war" and harangued their fell
low prisoners with a similar
Nazi line. But on the whole the
election was a good lesson in
democracy for the German pris-
Oners.
Only about IS per cent of the
prisoners can read English, but
those who could read u. S. news
papers translated and read them
aloud to groups. On the whole
the PW's were suspicious of ra-
do. Knowing only the German
radio, which had done nothing
but propaganda them ever
since 1892, they SHE'D away from
u. S. radio, except for musicals.
Last year a list of $50 u. S.
magazines approved for sub
scriptions was sent to post ex-
changes at the PW camps. In
Guided were the weekly news
reviews, monthlies like National
Geographic, and scientific and
technical publications like the
Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association. One camp alone
sent in $4,000 worth of subscrip-
tons in one month.

Just how successful the edu-
cational programs are with the
prisoners is hard to measure. In
the old German army. non-com-
miSsioned officers were expect
ed to educate themselves and
graduate into the civil service.
There is still something of that
spirit left in the German non
CONS who can't be worked
unless the. ask for it and
many of them seem to want to
take courses. They have a right
to this under the Geneva Con-
vention, and they are encourage
ed to get American education
in three different ways.
First, in sponsorship through
a college in the neighborhood of
a prisoner of war camp. A pris-
oner director of studies meets
with a representative of the in
stitution and the camp command
err, and works out the courses
The instructors are prisoners
The college maps the course or
loans books and laboratory
equipment.
Correspondence courses can
be bought with the prisoners
own funds from the recognized
extension courses offered by rec
ognized universities.
SOME ARE INCORP<GIBLE
Finally, some of the Armed
Forces Institute correspondence
courses conducted by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin for ". S.
troops have been made available
to German prisoners.
From IS to 20 per cent of the
prisoners are considered inror-
rible. They are the Nazi fanatics
and they present special prob
lem in themselves, They will
probably be the last Of the pris-
oners to be repatriated, for TO
dump these incurables into Ger
many would only add TO the dis
order.
An entirely unofficial view on
which there is no Y. S. govern
ment or War Department policy
is that these irreconcilables will
make good material for repara-
tons labor battalions. The mere
possibility Of such develop
ment is said to be having a salu-
tary effect on discipline in the
PW camps today. The idea of
having to go to work TO rebuild
what they have destroyed in
France or Russia they don't like
at all.
How much good all this re-
orientation Of German prisoners
is going to do can't be measured

Home Guard termed by Sgt.
Brown as a band of elderly peo-

LEG TREATED
He was treated in a conven.

and was not subjected to any
harsh treatment. Due to his in
jured leg he was Immediately
given treatment by captured
American medical officers with
the aid of the Red Cross. He
added that the Germans sup
piled the medicine. To make
things more difficult for him he
was stricken with diphtheria
while at German prison camp
in East Prussia.
LACK OF FOOD
Although conditions in the
prison camp were not a bed Of
roses, Sgt. Brown said that the
treatment afforded prisoners
was not bad. The only bad
thing was the food situation and
that was really tough" the be-
medalled airman said. He was
later moved TO camp in East
Pomerania but as the Russians
smashed eastward the Nazis fin
ally put him in a camp at Barth
on the North Sea from where h,
was liberated by the Soviet
Army.
The Russians were described
as fearless men by the sergeant
and he added that the Germans.
particularly the civilians, had
hysterical fear for the Rel
soldiers. And rightfully so,
Sgt. Brown said. The Russian
soldier had a bitter hatred fof
the Nazis and their forces were
so great that it seemed that they
were endless in number"
FLOWN TO COAST
Immediately after his liberia
ton he was turned over to the
American officers who were
with, the Russians and was
flown by plane to lie Havre,
where he was to be evacuated
to this country.
Sgt. Brown stated that from
here on in he experienced the
most painful part of his whole

week for transportation to the

hop to England and try to get
back to this country from there
He "hitched" a ride with plane
and went back to his old Eighth
Air Force station in England.
One week went by, then an
other until July 2 when he was
so thoroughly discouraged that
he decided to grab anything that
would float. He was given a
chance to return on an LIST and
he took it. The trip to Norfolk
Va. was not termed luxury

complaints and arrived at Nor

WAR WORKER KILLED
The whole case stems from
fatal injuries received by Jo-
seph Baldwin, war worker and
father of six children, who was
run down as he attempted to
cross Van Dyke avenue at Or
chard street on the evening of
Oct. ID, 1913.

rants have been issued against
MACPHERSON, all charging that
he fled the scene Of the fatal
accident. The first warrant. is

Circuit Judge Alton H. Noe, af-

never been fully explained.
Held professed complete ignor-

questioned two weeks ago con-
corning it. Van Fleteren, how
ever. stated that he had dis
cussed the matter with Held and
said that mir. Held took the
matter out of my hands from

witness said that Macpherson
was one of two men who stepped
from the machine. Other wit

that MACPHERSON had been seen
in at least two bars on the
afternoon of the day on which
Baldwin was killed. They said
that the oil man had been drink

Rural Slums, Too

To Florence M. Karch Of Oak
ark. Ill, the country is not
necessarily an idyllic pastoral
paradise. She says:
Rural slums can be as detri-
mental an environment as city
tenements. The children of
poorer farmers are as likely to
suffer from malnutritiOn as
those OF the unslxilled labOrers
of the big cities.
Assuming healthful living
conditions, wholesome food and
equal educational opportunities
i'm both city and country, i am
inclined to believe the child
from the urban community has
an advantage because of the
greater concentration of oppOr-
tunities In his immediate en-
vfrOnment. Whatever his spe-
ciaI talents may be, he can find
ways OF developing them in the
larger community. He may
even learn to be a farmer If he
wishes"
