BERLIN, July 21.-Break down
the language barrier, get him to
chatting about himself over Gig

soldier is not so far apart from the
American CT.
The Russian is getting tired of
living in the ruins of Berlin and
never seeing anything but crum-

He likes to talk about his garden
back home, which he hasn't seen
in years. He doesn't want any

And he's just as eager as Ameri-

Frances basic difficulty, however,
Is transportation. For example.
there is a vast amount of coal in
the Saar Basin Of Germany which
might solve Frances problem, but
little Of 1t can be moved because
of the lack OF transport.
Some French Lines Restored.
American military engineers have
done much to restore French rail
lines, mainly these which are neces-
sary for military movements. At the
present time. according to ofIlcials
here, about 40 per cent OF French
transport is being used by the
United States Army.
AS a result OF this transport situ-
alton, hundreds Of French factories
which might be making textiles and
other needed products are now idle
for lack Of coal. Also the transport
difficulties are preventing the move
ment of food.
So, in addition to coal, near-tor
priorities on shipping are being
given to steel rails and repair parts
for locomotives and rolling stock.

German Ardennes offensive last

GUAM. July 21.-Grateful natives

Americas armed forces joined to-
day to celebrate the first anniver-

land base from the Japanese.
Informality was the keynote In
a day marked by muisc, dancing

speech by Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz provided the only official
touch.
The town of Inarajen, on the
southeast coast, seemed to symbo-

the natives decorated their houses
with hibiscus and palm fronds.

u. s, Britain viii Rush
Relief Aid 10 Europe
TO Avert Anarchy
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

Spurred by the fear that anarchy
may sweep over Western Europe
with the coming of winter, the
United States and Great Britain
yesterday were planning to rush in
creased supplies to France, Belgium
and Holland during the next three
months.
1t was as part of this larger
effort, officials said, that Harold L.
Ickes, solid fuels administrator, an
nounced plans for tire diversion of
5000 900 tons of American coal to
Europe before the first of the year.
One official who has made a close
study of the ever -worsening politi-
cal situation in Western Europe ex-
planned last night:
There has been much talk about
the spread of Communism In West
ern Europe. But our real fear is
anarchy-the breakdown of all or
ganized government"
Bickering in France.
In France, he pointed out, there
recently has been an increased
amount of pickering among political
parties, making it difficult for Gen.
Charles de Gaulle.s Provisional Gov
ernment to concentrate the national
effort on cleaning up the debris of
war. The possibility of anarchy or
civil war in France is particularly
alarming to the United States, as
1T is being used as a vast staging
area from which thousands of troops
are being deployed to the Far East.
In Belgium, bitter political fight
already is going on between those
who wish King Leopold's return and
those who oppose it, with resulting
instability of government. The po-
litical situation in Holland Is quieter
on the surface, but its problem of de-
vastation. according to officials here
is more acute than that of either
France or Belgium.
In the conviction that political
disorder springs mainly from lack
Of food, fuel, shelter and transport,
authorities here expect a worsening

less prompt aid can be given their
people.
Tests Vital Necessities.
One high Government source
named, in the order of their i'm
portance to Europe: Coal, trans
port and food. Actually, he ex-
planned, they all are interdependent.
Coal is needed not only for heat
ing. but for rail transportation
which, in turn, is essential to the
movement of food from regions
where it is relatively plentiful to
other areas where 1t is scarce
There is serious shortage of

The soldiers lounging about, fas-
cinated at being able to exchange
ideas with an American, all nod.
They know what orders mean.
That is the way the Red Army
trains them: Follow out orders ex-
actly. without change or deviation.
Or else.
Vladimir recounts his part in the
battle of Berlin-How he fought
from house to house, from room to
room, for nine days How he
waded and swan through the Berlin
subway to outmaneuver the Waffen
SIS fanatics, entrenched about the
WilhelmstraSSe How the Reds
moved down the hated SIS by the
hundreds, no, by the thousands,
whenever they refused to surrender
And how they danced and sang for
days after victory and how they ate
such food. good German food, as
they hadn't known in months.
Want to Work in Gardens.
Now, in the jagged shadows of the
wrecked chancellery, near the spot
where Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun
may or may not have died, they want
to forget the long. hard battles that
they have left behind. They want
to go home and see what has hap
pened to their families and work in
their little gardens.
They show their Swiss wrist
watches proudly. Vladimir has two
on his left wrist, one on his right.
He'll keep one and send the others
back home to be traded for cattle.
The Americans collect Na1 medals
and Swastikas; the Russians con-
centrate on cameras and watches.
And so the correspondents chat
about life and war and loneliness.
The language is so strange and the
uniforms are variated, but behind
the barriers the Russians are just
couple of guys who really aren't so
different in many ways-if you can
only get to krJw them.

Army Will Send Back
2,M5 Nazi Prisoners
To Work in Coal Pits

The War Department announced
last night that 1t will send back to
Europe in the next six weeks 2,6o5
German prisoners of war held in
this country to start work in Ger
man coal mines, and thus elevate
the critical shortage of coal in the
devasted countries of Europe"
At the same time, the department
reiterated it's opposition % dis
charging American troops for en-
ployment in coal mines in this coun-
try. Secretary of Interior Ickes had
asked the Army to release 10000
men for this purpose in order to
"avoid disaster In Europe and
further distress at home"
In the Senate a resolution asking
release of the 10000 coal miners
was sent back to the Military At
fairs Committee.
Hearings Open Tuesday.
Senator Kilgore. Democrat, of
West Virginia, the author, agreed
to the Senate action after Acting
Secretary of War Patterson had
written Chairman Thomas, of Utah
protesting that the War Department
had not had opportunity to testify
on the resolution and was opposed
to it.
The committee ordered hearings
on Tuesday.
The German prisoners, who have
had previous mining experience, are
being sent back in response to an
urgent request from the European
Theater of Operations, the Army
announcement said. They will re-
tain their prisoner of war status
while working in the mines, the de-
partment added.
Schedule for their return calls for
departure of 49 officer prisoners,
800 noncommiSsioned officers and
2,166 privates by the end of August
by mining the needed coal in
Europe these men will cut down the
pressure on ship and rail transpor-
.tation that would be involved in
moving an equivalent amount OF
coal from this country. The use of
European coal also will reduce the
burden on mining facilities in the
United States" the department de-
clared.
Army Favors Merit System.
On the question of releasing men
for work in American mines, the
War Department said 1t recognizes
the serious political and social con-
sequences that may result from
lack of fuel in Europe this winter
and is doing everything within its
power to relieve this condition"
However, it has steadily opposed
any policy of releasing miners or
other men from the Army to engage
in production of coal or other essen
tial items because the granting OF
requests for such discharges would
disrupt the merit system of dis
charging men from the Army on the
basis of long and arduous service
and parenthood."
The department added that for
every man who is released for any
other reason, lone fewer man can
leave the Army under the merit sys-
TEN recommended by the soldiers
themselves"
Il In requesting release of troops,
Mr.. Ickes declared he knew of only
one way to avoid disaster in Europe |
and further distress at home in the
coal situation. That is to increase
production, and to increase produc-
tion we must have more coal miners.
There is only one source of addi-
tional miners and that is the Army"
