How to FIotten
A 4-9tor General
BY Henry McLem ore

Every enlisted man has dreamed
thousand times, of holding his
honorable discharge paper in one
hand, and f1attening a four-stai
general with the other.
Every enlisted man has dreamed
too, of concealing the discharge
emblem on his shirt, and then COM
mitting an act which would cause
an MP to get tough with him and
try to run him in.
Every enlisted man also has
dreamed of how, once he was out
of khaki, he would hire hall the
size of Madison Square Garden and
tell the assembled multitude ex-
actly what he thought of the Army
and the sort Of life he lived while
in 1t.

cause I dreamed all Of them, and
the dreaming helped me through
some very tough days; especially

spirit, which you have heard is such
a part of our Army, had gotten up

BERLIN. July 6-lRl-Long-
er working hours, forced labor
and less food than most other
Berliners is the price Nazi party
members pay today for having
actively supported Hitler's ideas
The men and women who
lived lives of luxury and enjoy
ed the best that the Reich had
TO offer since 1888 must get
along now on the same rations
as the lowest of five categories
into which Berlin's citizens are
divided that of persons not
er raged in productive occupa-
ton.
For food purposes Berliners
are classified as follows: First,
workers doing the heaviest la
Dor; second, ordinary laborers;
third, office workers; fourth,
children; fifth, Nazis and per-
sons without occupation.
Those in the fifth class are
entitled to a daily ration of los
ounces of bread, or of meat
0.24 of fats, los of flour, 0.52
of sugar and ID of potatoes, plus
monthly allowance of 0.88
ounces of barley coffee, 3.5 OF
ersatz coffee, or of tea and IA OF
salt.
Compare this with the ordin.
airy laborer's daily. allowance OF
1865 ounces of bread, 2.29 OF
meat, 0.52 Of fats, 2.l1 Of flour
and or of sugar, with 2.ll oun-
ces of barley coffee monthly
Only the potato, coffee ersatz
tea and salt rations are t h e
same for both classes.
Being allowed a ration does
not, however, mean actually OBJ
tanning it. In the Charlotten-
burg area the people had not
seen potatoes in weeks. They
have had fresh vegetables once
since June 20. There has been
no fresh fruit although this is
the fruit season.
Compared with residents OF
American occupied Thuringid.
Berliners look emaclated, wor-
ried and hungry.
Forced labor is organized on
the principal that the MAJ s
must work seven days a week
and others six. The Nazis also
must do extra chores.
Robert F. Schudbach for
many years an assistant editor
in the Associated Press Berlin
bureau and now Obmann Chief
for about 10 houses, explained
the system this way:

work, and after their neighbors
have finished their Jobs the
Nazis must pull the truck or
cart to the dumping point.
"All this labor must be done
without pay. Sometimes, how
ever, the Russians order GER
tain big enterprises to summon
their employees for debris re-
moval. These must then pay their
workers
No matter how much debris
is removed, however, whole
streets still smell evilly from
decaying bodies buried under
the ruins.
One sees many gray-haired
women who evidently have seen
better days climbing around on
ruins TO gather wood for fire
purposes. People also rush out
eagerly for horse manure which
they dry to use as fuel later.
