Until now the hands of the tough,
well-disciplined Milorg have been
tied, but they are beginning to as
sert more authority, such as the
right to halt German trucks on the
road and seize all if they find the
contents are wrongly stated. There
was an example of this last Satur-
day when load of hay was stopped
and found to contain several thou
sand bottles of cognac.
The Germans at Stengler's head
quarters apparently were beginning
before Berlin's capitulation, to dig
IN for a fight, as they had blasted
two enormous tunnels out of solid
rock in q mountainside arising
above Lake Joesa.
A large picture of Hitler, in coll
ors, was found on the walls of every
room, but since the Fuehrer's death
the soldiers no longer give the Nazi
salute. They now salute with q ges-
ture similar to that employed by
American and British troops.
British troops were greatly assist

Milorg soldiers, especially the son OF
the hotels owner, who knew the To-

Kills 80 Japs in Wild
Battle in Shuri Line

OKINAWA, June IL Delayed -
Pfc. Clarence B. Craft, Santa Ana.
Calf, in one-man battle, killed
80 japanese and drove wedge that.
his regimental commander said,
helped snap the Japanese Shuri de-
tense line.
Fellow Doughboys, who had
ringside seat to "a fighting per-.
formance we hardly could believe"
told today how Craft almost single
handed wiped out a strong Japanese
pocket in 10 to Is minutes.
Craft, married and the father of
4-year-old son, made his one-man
assault on a 450-foot hill May 81
when elements of the 96th Infantry
Division were pinned down by in
tense machine-gun fire.
For 10 days, japanese from this
hill had held up two battalions.
Tossed Grenades Into Trenches.
On May 81 a company and two
platoons assaulted the hill again.
Then Craft went into action.
When he reached the hilltop, he
began tossing grenades into trenches
and foxholes as men from his
platoon passed them up to him. He
straddled trench, pouring fire from
his Garand down into it. Then he
Jumped in, moving down Japanese
as they got to him. He knocked out
a heavy machine gun and its crew
as he strode through the trench. He
drove the Japanese he didn't kill
into hillside cave, then sealed it
with a demolition charge.
Fifty-eight Japanese bodies, three
knee" mortars, three machine guns,
about 30 rifles and ammunition lit,
tered the hill when the fight was
over. Craft himself fired five clips
OF rifle ammunition and threw 48
grenades. He estimated he killed Is
japanese with rife fire, the remain
der with grenades.
Lucky to Come Out Unscratched.
Grenades thrown by his buddies,
two OF whom were wounded, ac-
counted for the other japanese. At
one time. Japanese and Americans
were dueiling with grenades which
sailed over Crafts head.
Craft freely credited covering FIRE
from his buddies with making his
| fight possible. He said he was lucky
to come out unScratched.
"A lot OF them didn't come back =
he added.
1t. Roy L. Barnes, Winchester,
Ind, executive officer of G Com
pany of the 382d Regiment, said
that while he saw the whole action
he could think only: That damn
fool is determined to get out of the
Army, either via Medal of Honor
Or dead"
Craft. former truck driver and
replacement, joined the Goth Di-
vision here late in April. He had
not killed Japanese until the hill
action.

KISS their Norwegian sweethearts
goodbye. The chief wanted to know
whether he was within his legal
rights in denying this permission
since the request shocked him as
a patriotic Norwegian.
The suicide rate in German CAMPS
is increasing since the German sur
render, and there is difficulty in
bringing the bodies to the army
cemetery at Oslo from all parts of
the country. But the Morse don't
want their own cemeteries cluttered
With the bodies of "krauts" who
refuse to cremate bodies due to
religious objections.
Free Vacation for Nazis.
But the Morse are uncertain as to
their legal right to deny burial
space. The issue has been settled
SO far as his own diocese is con-
cerned, by the venerable Bishop of
Hamar, who has decreed that space
be set aside in each cemetery for
Germans, which will be well sepa-
rated from that in which Norwe-
gians are buried.

flowed to go mile in any direction
from their camps, and since they
have 80 establishments in Hamar, it
is practically impossible to keep
them away from public gatherings.
But Milorg has placed guards with
rifles in front of German
buildings.
Going north from Oslo, this re-
porter was somewhat shocked at
the welfare of the Germans COM
pared with their condition anywhere
else in Europe. The scenes reminded
one Of the almost unbelievable
stories of the coddling of German
prisoners in America. 1t seems to-
day that any one seeking a free

and fishing, need only disguise him.

The Germans seem to be having
a perpetual picnic. At one camp
there is a big outdoor theater with
nightly performances. Near the
camp, the Germans were busy build
ing big swimming float for antici-
pated summer sport. Milorg men
say that rations for the Germans
are two or three times normal, as
their mess officers have lifted all
restrictions.

that Allied officers and enlisted men
are required to return the salutes
of Germans who visit them on Of

Lillehammer was the center of
