'BROWNOUT' ORDER
 TO BE ENFORCED
Stores, Theaters Must Dis- continue Lights During
 Coal Emergency

Strict enforcement of the emer- gency 'brownout" effective Feb. 1 and designed to save coal and oil used to generate electricity became the responsibility today of c. A. Newton, War Production Board dis trict manager, upon receipt of in- structions for Walker Mason, re- gional WIPE director.
 The district manager was directed to enforce the WIPE fuel conserva- tion cider which broadly bans illu- imitation of all exterior displays and excepts only those lights nor mally essential to public health and safety. Actually, the "broWnout" will mean darkening store windows billboards, neon signs and theater marquees 24 hours a day.
 Instruction placing the prime re- sponsibility for administering the "broWnout" order with the district manager also outlined the machin- cry to be set up so that the maxi mum savings in coal and scarce fuels can be realized.
 Hardship cases, based on supposi- | ton that the order endangers public health and safety, may apply to the district WIPE office for relief, but according to the regional director determination will be based entirely on that premise.
 The district manager announced that copies of utilities order U-9 are obtainable at the nearest WIPE of- 1 fee.

bothered to define what constitut- ed F'ascism or a Fascist-the very things which were to be elimini- mated.
 Among the Military Government Detachments' equipment today are handbooks totalling thousands of pages setting forth clear, distinct policies. "In the case of high party officials, dismissed from office will not suffice. In the case of holders of less important party or government tai offices mere dismissal will suf- flee"
 Directives as to who shall be arrested are explicit. All Gestapo, all Security Service of the s. S.. police officials in key provincial and national posts, all party ad. ministrative officials down to the Kreis (county) level, all party ad.. ministrative officials down to the Bereichsleiter( about two-thirds up the scale of party leaders, face ar-' rest.

Military Rule Of Border Towns Sets Pattern For Destruction Of Naziism

dorf October 16-two days after spearhead elements of the Ninth Army entered the town. It estab- lished headquarters in bomb shell ters beneath the administration building of the Anna mine, which is the city's chief industry.
 The burgomeister (mayor) was still there. A career civil servant, a mayor for 25 years, he had joined the Nazi party in 1883 to keep hig job. Since he was a notably good administrator and security officers had no objection to him, he was kept in office. The Military Gov- ernment Detachment had no black and white lists of good and bad cit izenS before entering this fairly small town and knew no one t0 take the Mayors place. This will take care of itself in bigger cities, but it is worth noting that Detach- ments have no easy way of finding anti-Nazis to replace office holders in the smaller communities.
 AMG SUPERVISES
 The Military Government of ficer made clear to the mayor that 1t was his job to run the town; that the Military Government was here to supervise, not to ad- minister. Since Nazi labor ogan- ization officials had fled, the Mil. itary Government appointed g. temporary manager of the labor office and ordered the mayor to get all male workers registered. At the same time the manager of the mine was ordered to send letter to all miners ordering them to come back to work.
 Simultaneously, in conjunction with Military Security officers, Alsdorf's Nazi structure was checked. In the flush days of Ma. ziism the city had boasted some 25OO party members grouped in two ortsgrupper third lowest (above the precinct, which is above the block) organization ir party hierarchy, Then in 1942, with many away at war. the two ortsgruppen had amalgamated into one.
 As general policy, the Nazis aren's being arrested below the ortsgruppen levels. Alt ogether only about 40 were arrested and sent to civil internment camps to the rear. There they were checked again some to be released after military operation leaves the area, others to to be held for possible prosecution later.
 To date there have been no over acts of unfriendliness. After all, there has been little chance for any. The problem of Naziism most ly solved itself here. At this stage the Military Government has been put to few tests.

The fuel problem was brought up when the board was presented a list of requests for use of school build ings. Mayor John s. Monagan stated that many of the activities noted in the requests are the ones the petroleum administration had in mind when a recent directive on conservation was sent out. He said mayors were requested to make ef- forts to eliminate use of solid fuel in places of recreation.
 Mayor Monagan commented the board should declare a policy on conservation of fuel at once. adding it would have chance to review the situation in another two weeks. He suggested then that heat should be cut down as soon as schools are closed.
 The board tentatively approved the various requests but made the permission subject to later action by the school activities committee. It was pointed out the board would terminate the outside activities whenever the fuel situation seemed to warrant action.
 pr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- tendent of schools, was authorized to give notice that at the end of the week no games could be played after 5 D. m. It was pointed out many of the school games are scheduled for 4 D. m., and there would be suff1- cient time to complete them by the new deadline. It was indicated the school committee might grant per- mission for an extension in espe- cially meritorious cases.
 Permission for school activities was granted by the board as follows: Waterbury chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, to collect funds in the schools for their annual drive; Board of Edu- cation of the Blind, to conduct a sale for the blind in Crosby and Wilby High schools on Tuesday. Feb: 20. and in Leavenworth High Schoo, on Wednesday, February 21.
 The Waterbury Girls club was permitted use of the community room in Anderson school on Thurs day afternoons for a dancing class.
 Tentative permission for use of school buildings was granted as fol- lows: Avigs basketball team, use of Abbott gym Thursday evenings for basketball practice beginning Feb. l; LeavenWorth high school athletic council. use of Wilby gym, evening of Feb 21 for annual alumni game and dance; Partners basketball team for use of Hopeville gym Mon- day evenings for practice, beginning Feb. 5; Boy Scouts, use of Sprague gym.

exhortations of the party. They are not, therefore, likely to be great par ty enthusiasts.
 The noteworthy fact is that if many Nazis remained, the Military Government detachment here would be able to cope with them. They carry with them very clear defini- tions of Naziism and of Nazis and have clear and specific directives on what to do with various classes of NaZis.
 Moreover, they have general idea of how the Military Govern ment is going to function after the German surrender. There are go- ing to be three occupational zones -one British, one Russian and one Americna. Berlin itself will be jointly ruled by tripartite commission, while each nation will govern the area its troops oc- cupy, with general guidance from the commission in Berlin.
 CLEAR, DISTINCT POLICIES
 This is a tremendous and vitally important advance over the Sit- uation in Sicily and Italy, where Military Government Detachments were hopelessly handicapped in their fight against Fascism be- cause higher headquarters never

teria, which are missing in Sicily and Italy, the very means where by the Military Government is' being imposed on Germany is auto matically going to help break Nazi- ism. The keynote of Nazis.sm has been highly centralized control from Berlin. The Military Government will of necessity be imposed region ally as the armies move inland This rebirth of regional decentralized government will in itself do much to defeat the whole Nazi trend and spirit of government.
 It is still too early to make any sweeping judgments of the Military Government. In the first place, we have as yet only "a toenail hold" on the Reich. Secondly, thus far it has been easy for the Nazis to get out of town before our armies get in, thus poisoning many of the most complicated problems the Military Government is going to have to fact east of the Rhine.

HUMP HOPPING' VET TO TEACH
 BLIND FLYING
By SARA RASKAS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 St. Louis, Jan. 30 (UP) Blind flying is something the hump route pilots know great deal about It cost them their lives in many cases if they don't.
 First It. Robert w. Metze, 2l- year-old transport pilot and son of MT. and Mrs. R. w. Metze of St. Louis, describes a typical flight over "the hump" in the Himalaya mountains of the China Indian = Burma theater.
 He recenaly returned home after more than a year of hump hop ping" during which time he totaled 194 missions, requiring 667 flying hours.
 Unarmed. except for an army revolver and with crew of only two men, It Metze was one of the unsung heroes of the cargo com- mand who made the raids on Tokyo possible by carrying supplies to the bases of the giant B-29S.
 Monsoon Black-Ou
 It. Metze said, you take off from the base in India with ground fog huddled about your plane and over the field. crouchiug 2 all around you like human forms waiting to blind and smother you If they can.
 Then you're in the air, soaring over the hump in the monsoon downpour with nothing but black iV, nf ond Hoofh waiting below on the jagged noun tain peaks, in the Japanese patrols. And in the camps of the border bandits"
 The pilots average about one out of every four flying hours by in- strument alone, and every once in awhile the Japanese knock off one of the ships.
 The veteran pilot will be sta tioned at Rosecrans Army Air Field at St. Joseph, Mo, where he will instruct blind flying.
 Awarded the DEC.
 For his service, It. Metze was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal, with one oak leaf cluster to each. He also holds the Presidential unit citation.
 The young f1ier wears flight jacket designed especially for the Air Corps men stationed in the China-India-B Burma area. On the back of the jacket is an American flag, on the inside are both Chi nese and Burmese flags with an- nouncements in different Ian- guages, that a large award awaits those who guide a forced-doWn Am erican flyer to the nearest Allied lines.
 The reward offer is necessary to temptAaid of members of the bandit bands near the Burmese and Chin csc borders.
 It. Metze said, they will turn over a downed f1ier to the highest bidder. Sometimes the Japs offer more. Then we never hear from him again"

 Displaying exceptional skill and energy, Chaplain White efficiently administered the varied activities of the Chaplain's Corps and main- tained a high standard of morale and spiritual welfare throughout the fleet. He ably organized chari- table undertakings for the relief of the sick and impoverished ir war-stricken areas which had beer newly liberated from enemy occu- patton.
