Russia, Ally Of Allies, Conveyed Nazi , Cruiser Through Arctic Ice Pack
 To War On Shipping In Pacific

Nonetheless, Admiral Eyssen's report reveals neutral" Russian ice pilots guided the Komet through the ice from Matochkin Strait northeast of Murmansk to the Kara Sea; that the Stalin and the Lenln then escorted her to a point 4000 miles northwest of the Boring Straits Here the Kagano- Vich picked up the Komet and took her to within 400 miles of open water, The cruiser stuck fast in the ice several times and was freed by the icebreaker Kagano- vich," the admiral reported.
 Four hundred miles from his goal, Admiral Eyssen said Moscow ordered him, through the skipper of the KaganOvich, to turn back be- cause. American ships were in the Bering Sea "and must not learn that a German ship had passed through the Siberian Arctic route with the aid of Russia"
 'I received this communication calmly, without revealing any ex- citement or disappointment" he boasted in an article published by a German military journal in April, l943. But within me it had the effect of a bomb.

 for a long time that the SOviets had promised their support only because they hoped to dupe Ger many through their generosity .. but that they had never seri- ously thought a German ship couId use this generosity and actu- ally conquer the Siberian pass age"
 Two years later, with Russia in war, Admiral Eyssen was able to conclude that the SoViets took his ship into the Pacific to sink Brit ish shipping to conceal the prep arations for war which they had for a long time been forming in cooperation with the British"
 Preparations for the Komet'S trip through the ice began on July , 3, 1940.
 The Russians notified Admiral | Eyssen to be at a point off the large island of Novaya Zemlya in the Barents Sea on July Is, l940.
 He recorded weeks of time-kill- ing delays.
 Finally, the Russians radioed that the Komet should proceed at once to Matachkin Strait, where the Lenin was waiting with new instructions. But there was no Lenin in sight off Matichkin Strait Admiral Eyssen sent Russian in terpreter ashore to a small settle ment. The boat returned with two Russian ice-pilots who complained they had been waiting a week for the Komet and had just received instructions to return
 Admiral Eyssen told Hitler he "did not let them bluff" him. He proceeded in haste" with his ice pilots aboard until he ran into a thick barrier of pack ice and was unable to move.
 He radioed to the Lenin and the Stalin for help. But he got only evasive raio messages from the Russian icebreakers.
 Sailors Luck Aids
 German Admiral
 The German proceeded on his own. The Lenin radioed that "she could be called on for assistance pass through the difficult Vilkit- sky Strait. When (we) had sailed into the Laptev Sea, the icebreak- CTS Lenin and Stalin finally hove into sight.
 The Komet stuck fast in the ice several times and had to be freed : by the icebreaker Kaganovich.
 When the Kaganovich turned back n Sept. l, l940, Admiral Eys- sen proceeded on his own, and reached the Boring Sea, where he said, "the Komet (previously dis guised as the Steamship DonaW was changed into an auxiliary cruiser and commenced her op- erations."
 "At the end of 1941, the world heard that a German auxiliary cruiser had successfully shelled oil and phosphate storage depots on the island of Nauru Gin the Southwest Pacific), and that fur thermore this warship had sunk many enemy vessels in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, South Atlantic, off the Panama Canal and the coast of Africa. Everyone racked their brains to figure out by what route this German cruiser could have

A line or two, l write to you

line or two, l write to you
To bid you fond farewell
To let you know before go
How I've enjoyed this Hell"
Now I'll admit I've had bit
OF clean and wholesome fun
Some days of ease meath mesquite trees
And basking in the sun.
The friends I've made wouldn't trade
For barrels full of gold;
The things I've learned cannot be earned
Or stolen, bought or sold
To reverie III sometimes see
The sv'ry desert moon;
The stars up nigh in a velvet sky,
The hush on Sleepy Lagoon.
Sometimes I'll long for the crcket's song,
For the sad coyotes cry,
For the rustling breeze thru willow trees
Where the river Wanders by.
I'll tell you this, l know I'll miss
Those meals at the Cooking School,
The shows outdoors, the c. F. stores,
The gang at the swimming pool
I'll oft recall my old mess hall,
My place in the mems latrine
The barren gloom of my barrack room
In Block 22-14
I'll remember names like Norris James,
Townsend, Chandler, and Dies
Dewitt and Best and all the rest
OF those double-dealing guys.
And you can bet I'll ne'er forget
The dust, the blistring heat
My hands all wet with Shiny sweat,
p. o. and athletes feet.
And rattlesnakes and belly-aches
Bad bos and heat-rash, too
Potatoes hashed and noodles mashed
Boiled beans and meatless stew
AS years go by, I'll heave sigh
For squids, neck-bones and kraut;
That special treat, coyote meat
I'll miss without doubt.
l think, perchance I'll miss the ants
The bugs and pesky gnats,
Mosquitoes bites on sultry nights,
And flies that drove me bats.
How dear to me the memory
Of Poston e'er will be;
The times I've had both good and bad
I'll cherish tenderly.
So, goodbye pals, you guys and gals
In Poston Unit l.
I've said enough; excuse this stuff;
My farewell song is done.
