financed.
Heading the list Of National War
Fund agencies is the U. S. o., with
out question one of the most popular
organizations with Service men and
women, not only in our own coun-
try, but in the occupied countries in
which members of our Armed Forces
are still stationed. And here again,
Washington County can be counted
upon to see that the USO and the
many other agencies that are doing
such fine jobs in the war-torn
countries ofethe world, are assured
of adequate funds to carry on their
great and human work.

Goering's Big Car
Here On Wednesday
VIII Be On Display From 10
A. M. To 1 80 P. M. In Interest
OF 9TH Victory Loan Drive.

Former Reichsmarshal Hermann
Goering's huge black Mercedes Benz
convertible sedan, liberated" by a
young American sergeant, will be on
display in the public square in Ha-
gerstown, as a feature of the 7th
Victory Loan Drive, between 10 a.
m. and 1870 p. M, Wednesday, Nov.
81, according to John Hollyday,
chairman of the War Finance Com
mittee
The sleek, speedy car, once the
delight of the fat be-medalled mar
shall, was spotted wired on flat
car, by Sgt. Joe Azaza, a Cleveland,
Ohio boy, of the goth Armored
Ordnance detachment, who thought
it looked like a nice souvenir. Ger
man snipers shared this opinion,
Azaza found. AS he started toward
his prize, snipers bullets began Whiz-
zing in his direction. His carbine re-
piled and at length, when what
Army demurely refers to as ''quiet
condition" had been established, the
sergeant and his buddies recovered
the car and drove it to headquarters.
1t later developed that the car,
which was taken at Laufen, near
Berchtesgaden, had been ready for
chipY11ent IN Munich
The 5000 pound car, slightly
heavier than its corpulent former
owner, is bullet-proofed with heavy
armor plate and manufacturing glass.
It is 10 feet 4 inches long, feet
wide and 6 feet high. Powered by
an 8-cylinder, twin-ignition, 100
horsepower motor, it is capable of a
speed of 1875 miles per hour. not
quite fast enough to get Herr Goer-
ing out of Germany.
The original motor was removed
after a connecting rod was broken
and the present motor is one taken
out of one of Hitler's cars in the
garage at Berchtesgaden = over the
protests of the men of the 101 Air
borne Division who were, at that
time, making themselves very much
at home in the Fuehrer's strong
hold.
The Goering car will be towed by
an Army vehicle on its Maryland
tour and accompanied by a staff
sedan and total of nine Army com
bat personnel, including Sgt. Azaza
the lieutenant who headed the Ord.
nance group to which the sergeant
belonged, the corporal who worked
on the car, and the sergeant who
drove it for Gen. Cornelius M. DAILY
commanding officer of Combat Co. A
of the goth Armored. It is being ex
hibited by the Army Ground Forces
in cooperation with the Treasury De
partment-Victory Loan Campaign.

DU RELY
/ Official
By BALLOT BOX

Before the recent one-day special
session of the State Legislature, the
Boards of County Commissioners
of certain counties, including Wash
ington County, arranged to have
bill introduced at the special session,
exempting these certain counties
from the provisions of the Auto
License Bill, passed at the last regu-
lar session, under which the office
of the Commissioner of Motor We
hicles was empowered to collect
county taxes along with the auto
license fee, instead of the former
procedure, whereby the county tax
collectors had to perforate the auto
license blanks, showing the taxes
paid, before the office of the Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles could
issue license plates.
The bill, duly prepared, was one
of the few that the Administrations
special Rules Committee permitted
to be introduced at the special ses-
sion, and it was presented for con-
sideration on the floor of the Senate.
So what happens?
Well, here's the answer.
Although representatives of the
tax collectors offices and of the Com
missioners offices, of the counties
concerned, were in Annapolis (At-
torney Bushong and Welles Little
officially represented Washington
County, and although the State
Senators from the counties concern
ed Gncluding Senator Allen Myers
from Washington County, were in
their accustomed place in the Senate
chamber when the bill was introduce
ed, not single voice was raised in
support of this bill that would have
exempted these certain counties Gin
Guiding Washington County, from
the provisions of the original bill.
Under those strange circum-
stances, is it any wonder that the
bill died then and there?
While the Washington County Re-
publicans are keeping mum regard
ing candidates for next years cleo
tons, the Democrats are getting
busy. The latest Democrat to an
nounce his intention is Dr. w. J.
Sullivan, of Funkstown, well known
Veterinarian and farmer, who has
announced his intention of entering
the Democratic Primary as a candi-
date for State Senator.
AS I've told you in this column
before, everything is not exactly
milk and honey within the Demo-
cratic Party in the State, and right
now there is real fight going on
within the Party to get Governor
e O'Conor to drop out of the Guber-
material race and run for Senator
Radcliffe's seat in the u S. Senate
But the funny part of the whole
thing is, that although those behind
the move are unanimous in their
endeavor to get the Governor out
of the Gubernatorial race, they are
very far from getting together on
the choice for his successor.
The details are too long to crowd
into my column this week, so Pm
holding them over till next week
and, unless l miss my guess, these
same details will surprise you.

MARSHAL ZHUK0V BELIEVES HITLER
 IS STILL ALIVE

LONDON Marshal Zhukoy, an NEG broadcast from Moscow said this week, believes that Adolf Hit ler is hiding in Europe, possibly in Spain, and it is up to American and British troops to find him.
 The Russian war leader also said that Hitler married Eva Braun two days before Berlin fell.
 Correspondent Robert Magidoff quoted ZhukoY as telling correspon- dents in Berlin.
 Marshal Zhukov said that his troops found a number of corpses which might have been Hitler's but he doubts it. Hitler probably waited until the last moment and then took off in plane that was held in constant readiness.
 And I think" said the Marshal, that Hitler is hiding somewhere lin Europe, possibly with General Franco. Now it's up to you British and Americans to find him.
