1t. Norman Moran Writes Of Life
TN Paris and In Postwar Berlin

1t. Norman Moran, former re-
porter on the Chronicle Star and
Advertiser, writes Interestingly of
his impressions of both Paris and
Berlin, in a lengthy letter to 1.-THE
gang" back at the office.
OF the former city he says, "Af-
ter seeing Paris, l say that the ar
tistry of the French forms the
nucleus of their living. No city
in the world can surpass or COM
pare with Paris with its innumer-
able monuments, carvings, statu-
airy, paintings and architecture,
which is so richly ornate. Its
parks, boulevards, and the gen.
eral makeup, which is the heart
of the French inhabitants and
their lives, III things of beauty,
restful to the eye and artistically
sentimental.
Perhaps Berlin was similar in
many respects before the var At
least there are indications of such
inclinations and existancies lying
amid, atop and near the endless
piles of dust, squalor, pulverized
masonry and twisted and gro
tesquely distorted girders which
lie in disheveled heaps along
the sides of the street and rep
resent what was once the mighty,
and self-acclaimed, invincible

The people assemble in long

horbitant prices, in the famous

He says that the Russians, who
have just received a full years
pay will buy anything at fabulous
prices. He tells of one peasant
soldier who paid $500 for an
ordinary wrist watch owned by
a G.. /, He also says there is a
story that another Russian paid
81 900 for a Micky Mouse watch.

pity in him is more inclined to

1t. Moran speaks of the women
who are cleaning up the debris.
He says hat only old men are
left; that the younger ones are
prisoners of wal and probably
wont be home until they have
cleaned up the damage that their
hordes did in over-running Bel
GUM, Holland, Norway, France
and other European nations.
There are no smiles on their faces,
he writes, only blank resigned
expressions. Hour after hour
through cold wind and rain,
the sun seldom shines here at this
time of the year, these workers
comb through the rubble, not
infrequently with their bare
hands.
He writes of the black market.

Not Crazy Enough

For four and half years has been anybody's guess whether Rudolf Hess mad. After he flew to England in May of 1941 Hitler said he crazy. It appears that Hitler crazy mad himself at his deputys scheme to bring the King of England to Germany and range peace the west before the Nazs attacked Russia It idea to be almost crazy as Hitlers dream of world conquest But Hers mad activities were much to the fore that tme people almost forgot the Hess after his mission failed and he taken out of circulation
 When Hess next made the front pages Hitler was gone And with botherng to accuse him of insanity Hess put little mad of his in the hope of ing his neck It was a pretty good performance The psychiarsts said his amnesa of the hysterca variety but Hess accomplished phony and they couldn't shake him out of his act When then did he suddenly give the pretense and decide to play straight We should like to venture conjecture though unacquainted with psychatry with Hess.
 Before the Nuremberg trial began, Hess shown newsrees of the days of Naz glory There Hess and there Hitler Goeng Goebbes and the rest and the hyserica heng of thousands of German citizens Hess must have realized that it would be hard job anyone that he mentally unstable than the mad colleagues and the mad throngs that surrounded him In these pictures.
 plans for unprovoked civilian slaughter and mass termination read from the Naz records recalled in the direct evidence of witnesses He had been in on those ans but so had his co-defendants
 Finally Hess brought up to date the activities of the Nazi which he as prisoner in England had missed He newsrees ghasy pictures of torture camps where the plans for extermnaton which he had helped prepare carried He the revotng evidence of deeds which his codeendants had ordered condoned though they may not all have personally wit messed the results.
 The behavior of those co-defendants had been so methodcaly maniacal to make his misdeeds and alterations pale by comparison And the evidence piled up it must have been increasingly hard for Hess to keep the pretense of being the only madman in the lot
 He may have asked himself How can claim to be the court and the watching world consider my for mer colleagues sane? And Hess really is rational there only logical open him. He had to end his shamming the competition of real madness too keen.

Old-Fashioned Winter

One of the odfashioned winters that the older ton likes describe be with this December of 1945 Our Connecticut forebears like to reminsce about feet drifts in December and Chrismases when they snowed-in down the farm.
 Weather seems to go in cycles and for good many have had what termed pen winters until after the first of the year Our big snowstorms have in February, for the most part
 This December however the old-fashioned New Eng land started before the end of November and has been the order of the day since that time the Eastern Seaboard through the New England states and points west.
 Along with the close to weather is common Snow blankets cities and towns roofs have solid covering the over hanging rocks along the Naugatuck Valley are and tcecovered Frame houses with extending have fine trim of icices hanging at various lengths.
 It has been picturesque if hazardous season We have been calling it winter but actually by the calendar winter began today The question iswll it continue to be the traditional od-fashoned when 1946 begins, will then revert to open Winter?
