met q Russian officer and six pri-
Yates whose supply truck had broken
down." Corpl. Slothouber said. THE
officer insisted that we stay with
them, and so we spent two days
eating and drinking vodka. They
poured vodka from flve-gallon cans,
cooked Russian cakes for us and
offered to kill COW or pig, which
ever we wanted, If we would stick
around. We. got along. however,
after two days"
Corpl. Slothouber said that when
he was captured in Normandy three
days after the invasion the Ger
mans put ITS American officers and
men in a barn-like building where
they were kept without food Or
water for five days.
"On the fifth day." he said, "the
Nazis threw in one loaf of bread for
the It's men. Not a person touched
1t. It was just like every man there
acted from q mass mind. We all
told them to go to hell, that they
wouldn't get us to try to divide one
loaf of bread or fight over it
either"
Most Trouble With IS Men.
Corpl. Slothouber said that except
for being starved he was well
treated.
Most of the trouble came from
the SIS guards who were in charge
of prisoners being transferred from
one camp to another" Corpl. Slo-
thouber said. Lots Of them would
try to start an argument just to get
an excuse to beat up an American.
One of the first things Corpl.
Slothouber did when he reached
home was to walk in to the Fairfax
County Red Cross Chapter head
quarters at Falls Church and make
a donation.
II lost so pounds in German
prisons" he said, land would have
been dead now If it hadn't been for
the Red Cross food packages. We
got one every week and they kept
us going.
II couldn't begin to pay back the
Red Cross what really owe, but al
least I can show my appreciation

Maryland Representative
Urges Drive TO Scrap 0PA
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, May 7.-Represen-
tative Roe, Democrat, of Maryland,
proposed in letter to Mayor Theo-
dore McKeldin that a campaign be
launched to scrap the Office of
Price Administration"
Mr.. Roe said: you can't make
regulations, orders and directives
that will apply indefinitely to busi-
ness conditions. They are bound to
be unfair, unjust and work hard
ships that cannot be endured.
II think we should start a cam
paign to scrap the OPA, and the
sooner 1t is strapped the better it
will be for everybody"
Mr.. Roe's letter was in reply to
a letter from Mayor McKeldin,
which quoted Baltimore clothing
manufacturers as saying that their
businesses were threatened with ex-
termination by War Production
Board and OPA regulations.

TWENTY-FIRSTB BOMBER CON-
MAND, GUAM, May 7.-Marianas-
based Super Fortresses already have
destroyed 81 square miles of Japan's
industrial areas and damaged IS Of
its key war plants during the last
five months
The completeness with which the
giant planes are razing enemy pro-
duction, block by block, was dis
closed yesterday in a compilation of
results of ITO combat missions flown
since the beginning of operations
from the Marianas last November.
The thoroughness of the bombings
is demonstrated by Tokyo, where
1921 square miles of it's IS square
miles, industrially important to the
war effort, have been burned out.
Damage Outlined.
The damage to Japan's war facto-
ries including eight aircraft plants,
and to its urban industrial areas, was
accomplished on only Al of the mis-
sions. The remainder were against
airfields and installations in sup
port of Two Jima and Okinawa
landing operations.
(This, an Army summary, does
not reckon damage inflicted by
the Nays carrier-borne planes0
The B-29s loom even more men,
acing to the enemy in the future,
now that low-level visual bombing
has been introduced by the 38-year-
old commanding officer, Maj. Gen.
Curtis E. Lamay, Cleveland, Ohio.
Using these methods for the first
time March 8, after only mediocre
results from 10000 feet, B-29s put
down one of the greatest fire blitz
raids ever flown by burning out IT
square miles of Tokyo.
Is Factories Damaged.
Damage to Is factories on which
results are available shows IS per
cent of roof areas destroyed. The
destruction in plants is probably
even greater, since bombs are timed
to explode after penetrating the
roof.
Most roof damage was done to
the Tachiarai machine works, which

Fairfax Porotrooper, Liberated,
Finds Reich Land Of Plenty

The story of surging, laughing
Muscovite horde that poured its
vodka from five-gallon tins, Of
women tank commanders and of
German homes crammed with food
was told the other day by Fairfax
County paratrooper recently re-
leased by the Russian Army from
German prison camp at Kuestrin.
At his farm home near Vienna,
Corpl. Derk Slothouber, "a, told of
his release by the Russians. of his
two-week trek through part of Ger
many to a rail junction in Poland,
and of his ride in boxcars across Po-
land and the Ukraine to Odessa,
where he boarded a boat for Italy
and the United States.
His story was not new to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. J. Slothouber,
who at frequent intervals would in
terrupt to remind him of some in
cident he had overlooked. Corpl.
Slothouber is native of Holland
and his parents still speak with the
soft accent of the Netherlands.
Plenty Of Food in Reich.
When the Russians storm d
through the prison camp January 81,
Corpl. Slothouber said 2,400 Amer
lean soldiers were left on their own.
1.-THE Russians couldn't stop. They
were after the Germans, and the
Americans banded together in small
groups for their trip across Poland
and the Ukraine" he said.
While we were still in Germany"
Corpl. Slothouber said, I'VE lived like
kings. The civilian population had
fed before the advancing Russians
and had left their homes piled high
with food. We found bins of pota-
toes, shelves of canned goods and
meat hanging from the rafters in
nearly every German home we en-
tered. Don't let anybody kid you
that the German civilians are going
hungry.
Ride B0xcars to Odessa.
"For two weeks we tramped
through Germany to rail junction
near the Polish-German border
where we were allowed to ride empty
boxcars to Odessa. In Poland food
was scarce, but the Polish people
gave us all they could. 1t took us
10 days on the train from LODI to
Odessa"
The Russians have great capacity
for good fellowship, vodka and kill
ing Germans, Corpl Slothouber said.
He said there were a few Russian
prisoners in the camp, and when
they were liberated they grabbed up
guns to go after the retreating Nazis.
You would think they would want
to go home, but not those boys.
They had been stirred up and the
only thing they could think of was
to get at the Germans"
Corpl. Slothouber said one of the
first Russians he saw was a good
looking woman tank commander.
He said the front was full of Rus
sian women soldiers and that the
Russians explained their presence
by saying they couldn't force women
to work in factories so they sent
them to the front. THAT was a
little joke on their part" he said.

Big Postwar Demand
For Home Appliances
Indicated in Survey

An unprecedented demand for
appliances here after the
war Is indicated in the survey under
taken for the Washington Board of
Trade by Opinion Research Corpora
ton.
The figures indicate that a boom
in this phase of business will reach
tremendous proportions.
At least 1900 refrigerators will
be sought, an increase Of $50 per
cent over the prewar average and
$4,000 persons will seek vacuum
cleaners, an increase of 375 per cent.
11,000 Want Ranges.
It was also found that about 1000
consumers viii purchase ranges,
which is q 800 per cent increase
over the annual average from 1889
to 194l. In compiling these figures
no consideration was given to those
who plan new homes but have given
no thought to the stove to be placed
in the kitchen. Also no allowance
was made for returning servicemen
who will set up homes of their own.
But 1t is in the washing machine
market that the greatest activity
will be found. Whether rejecting
the shortage of domestic help or the
natural wear and tear which have
worn many existing machines down
to a low point of efficiency, the pre-
diction is that SO 1000 persons will try
to purchase this type of equipment.
This demand will be an increase of
500 per cent over the prewar period.
A great demand for other forms Of
equipment and furniture also is
indicated. 1t is expected that Sc 900
radio or radio-phonograph instru-
ments will be sought. The survey
also showed that rugs and carpets
will attract $4,000 purchases and
1880 postwar residents will be in
the market for sewing machines.
Furniture Market.
In the furniture market, $4,000
will purchase living room furniture,
the figures show. A total of 10000
persons will buy bedroom furniture
and $1,000 plan to get dining room
furniture and $4,000 are interested
in acquiring miscellaneous types.
Automatic dishwashers will be In
lowest demand, only 1000 persons
indicating an intention to buy this
form of equipment. Only 5000
anticipate installing new water
heaters.
All these figures were obtained
from persons expecting to make the
purchases during the first postwar
year. Return of installment buy
ing might influence the totals even
higher, according to the survey
summary.
The report was the seventh in q
series prepared for the Washing
ton Board of Trades Postwar Plan
ming Committee.
