TO THE EDITOR:

TO THE EDITOR:
I AM writing this letter on be-
half of my son and all
mothers sons in the armed
forces.
I have been a subscriber of
this paper for about 25 years
and often cut out articles of
interest to send TO my son in
France. He is in Patton's
Third Army and every one
knows what those boys are go
ing through, such as living in
muddy foxholes. going for
months at a time with wet,
muddy clothe- and shoes. He
wrote recently that he had slept
in a bed and had his clothes off
for the first time in five months,
and that he had had a shower
and hot meal, the first in a
month.
l would be ashamed to send
him a complete edition of the
paper and have him know how
the folks on the home front
have, and still are. letting them
down. When cutting out arti-
cles to send him / look on the
back TO make sure that there
is nothing about the war work
ers being out on strike.
Just what would happen if
our boys over there should de-
eide TO strike. Suppose they
should just lay down their guns
and crawl in their muddy. cold
foxholes and let us down for a
change. l believe that every
one would suddenly become
aware of the fact that there is
still war on. and it is yet to
be won.

6 Millions Face Food
Crisis in South GERMANY

SOUTHERN GERMANY. - Six
million persons in the southern Ger
many provinces of Bavaria, Wurt-

serious food shortage unless inn
proved transport and imports make
it possible for them to hold out I'M
til the new harvest of grains in two

Difficulty in maintaining the daily
1000 calory food level for displaced
persons or the average 1,150 calory
level for Germans was foreseen in
a survey of current food stocks by
the United States 9Th army group.
Potato rations for the current
year already have been distributed
throughout the three provinces and
the supply is short. Prospects for
all the crops are poor.

Ouer-Age Warships
Prove Their Worth
Helped to Bridge Gap When
Things Looked Black.

LONDON. - Nine Of the so over
age destroyers traded by the United
States to England in 1910 have been
lost in action, but the remaining Al
still are in active service after
establishing themselves as outstand-
ing fighting ships through nearly
five years Of war.
Although already pensioned of
when Germany declared war, the
ships proved their seaworthiness
in battle and helped bridge the
gap when things looked blacklist for
Britain.
They have been In commando
raids, guarded conveys against dive
bombers on the perilous Murmansk
run, escorted troops across the
channel on D-Day and assisted in
the hunting down and the sinking OF
nearly dozen submarines in the
storm-swept North Atlantic.
Nine of them have been loaned
to Russia, seven were last re-
ported in use by the Royal Canadian
navy and the rest are prowling
around somewhere in the Atlantic
or in British home waters or on con-
voy in coastal patrol jobs.
The first of the group to be sunk
was the U. S. S. Welles, renamed
H.M.S. Cameron, which caught a
Nazi torpedo on January l, 1910,
on one of its first missions.
The last victim was the U.S.S.
Swasey, renamed H.M.S. Rocking
ham, which went down in the At
lantic on September q, 1914.
One of the SO, the U.S.S. Bucha-
nan, renamed the H.M.S. Cambel-
ton, was sacrificed deliberately as
block ship in the daring British
commando raid on st. Nazaire in
1912.
With her bow specially stiffened
and filled with five tons of delayed
action high explosive, the Cambel-
ton ploughed her way through the
double torpedo battle protecting the
entrance to the harbor locks and
rammed the center of the main
gates. AS soon as the bows were
firmly wedged in, special troops
landed as arranged and set about
the work of demolition.
A few minutes later the whole de-
stroyer blew up, taking a big part
of the St. Nazaire harbor works with
If.

Yank Finds His Mother
In Town at Czech Line

WITH AMERICAN TROOPS IN
GERMANY. - An American SER
geant's reunion with his mother
brought tears to the eyes of every
body in the little Czech border town
of Barnau.
Mai. Dan Riddle of Marksville,
La, had to go to Barnau with a
captain and his driver. ''May I go
along?" asked Sgt. Harry Alden of
Pelham, N. Y. ''My family used to
have a summer home there" AS
they rode toward Barnau the SER
geant told of his birth in Nuernburg
of German-Jewish parents and how
he came to the United States in
1888, became a citizen, and joined
the army.
'"There it isl There is my house,
the sergeant shouted as they neared
the town. He leaped from the jeer
and pounded on the front door. His
grandmother came to the door. She
told him his mother was in town,
helping the American troops, SO
Alden and his friends drove on.
Major Riddle saw two women
one tall and stately-wallking down
the street, and on impulse he
stopped the jeep.
The tall woman was Harry's
mother and when she saw him she
cried out Hans! My boyl" and
came running with open arms. That
was when the crying started.

Major Test Case

Hank Greenberg will be IS years

out of baseball action four seasons

ice he had known 10 years of big

2.657 Accused
Of War Crimes
United Nations Prepared to
a.. Prosecute and Punish
Guilty to Limit.

LONDON. - Lord Wright told the
United Nations war crimes commits
sion that 1857 individuals had been
charged with war crimes by vari-
GUS Allied nations and the commits
sion itself, as reported by the Asso-
ciated Press.
"The time has now come when
the mere collection of material
must change over into action" said
the Australian chairman of the con-
ference, representing the United
States and Is other nations. action
here means the trial of criminals
and their conviction, sentence and
punishment where appropriate"
Of those charged with war
crimes, 1924 are Germans, ITO ltal-
ians, II Bulgarians, 2 Hungarians,
2 Albanians and Romanians. None
of the names we're given.
Germans in key positions listed
the war crimes commission on
general charge of systematic ter
rerism" total SOL. Lord Wright dis
closed also that the war crimes
commission on its own initiative in
respect of specific crimes" had put
the names of three Germans on
the list.
French Accuse 1,126.
France preferred more charges
than any other nation, accusing
LIS Germans and 10 Italians. Po-
land named 544 Germans and sew
eral groups of an unknown number
of persons. Britain filed charges
against 127 Germans, q Italians
and two Romanians.
A total of 454 additional suspects
and witnesses have also been listed
by the governments of Australia,
Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France,
Norway and Yugoslavia. The Aus
tralians in addition preferred
charges against SO Japanese, among
others.
From the various lists, Lord
Wright said, the investigating COM
mittee has passed approximately
300 names of Germans for publlca-
ton in the next list of war crimi-
nails, along with 1876 more as sus-
poets.
"Justice to be effective must be
expeditions he said. "Any avoid
able delay is certainly mischle-
vous and may be fatal to the at
tainment of the object which is
sought, that is, the punishment OF
the criminals for the double purpose
of retribution to satisfy the peo-
pies demands for justice and
of warning and example to deter
such crimes in the future"
Called General Scheme.
Lord Wright said that one special
feature of Nazi or Fascist crimes
was that they were not merely per-
petrated on an unprecedented scale
over the whole range of military
operations and enemy occupation,
but that ''they exhibit every trace
of a general scheme"
''They all clearly emanate from a
master criminal and his encourage
and are carried out according to
plan by elaborate, organized agen-
cies and instrumentalities," he
said, "that is, by individuals under
common direction and by common
concert"
He said the function Of the COM
mission was to acquire evidence
and to trace crimes from actual per-
petrators to "the central mind or
authority such as Hitler or Goering,
right through the intermediate
agencies and to analyze the
element Of common purpose or
conspiracy."

4 Different Boon,

The new sporting boom, now get
ting under way, is entirely different
from the boom that followed the
First World war. That was the boom
and the era of stars-known as the
Golden Age of sport.
This new boom will be all differ
ent. In the first place, it will have
far more contestants through the
army and navy sporting program.
In the second place, it will all out
class those days in the matter Of
public interest and public attend
ance. For us this has been far
rougher and more devastating war
than the first world upheaval knew.
Then we went to war in April, 1917,
and we were through in November,
1918. That was only sprint by COM
parison. But this war began in
December, 1941, and it is still going
full blast. The casualty list of this
war will triple the casualty list of
the number one affair.
The tremendous sports program
which army and navy are working
on is dead sure to bring in star
crop of baseball players, football
players and boxers from the young
er set.
"These army and navy ball
players will have the advantage Of
good training and fit condition."
Carl Hubbell says. ''That can make
a big difference. Also there ought
to be enough to 60 around so that
all of us can improve"
Dave Ferriss and AL Benton have
proved Hubbell's slant. Coaches
Greasy Neale and Steve Owen feel
the same way about it in regard to
football. So do the college coaches
who expect to get their share Of
these veterans.
Commissioner Chandler has prom
ised to give thousands of extra kids
chance to play baseball who
have been shut out before through
lack of playing space. It has al
ready been proven clearly that this
country needs more players than it
needs extra spectators. This idea
may not strike every promoter as a
happy thought, but it will be that
way in the future.
In the meanwhile the first rush
of the boom is already here. The
ball parks are proving it.
