Little Sympathy.
ONLY one reader ever felt sorry
for me, and my lack of being able
to spend holidays as most people do.
The readers name Is Buddy Fogel-
son of Dallas, Tex. Several years
ago 1 passed through Dallas on the
way to the Coast, just four days
before Thanksgiving. For some rea-
son mentioned to Buddy how I
missed not being able to sit down
and eat turkey with all the trim
mings.
without my knowing it Mr.. Fogel-
son went to work to move up
Thanksgiving q couple Of days. He
had the Governor Of Texas issue a
special proclamation for my benefit,
in which he said Thanksgiving
would come on Tuesday that year.
Buddy called a hundred Of his
friends and asked them II they
would like to have Thanksgiving
day on Tuesday at his ranch. Be-
ing Texans, they obliged friend, so
on Tuesday had my Thanksgiving.
Being q man who works things
on a large scale, every one of the
guests had a turkey of his own ex-
cept myself, and had two turkeys.
1t was a feast which, as well as 1
can recall, carried on over Wednes-
day and was going strong when the
real Thanksgiving day arrived.
When I left Dallas I thanked Mr..
Fogelson for his lovely considera-
ton and he said not to mention 1t,
and what day would like to spend
Christmas with him.
II always feel that round the
18th or the 17th is a good day for

tions which Army officers, who had
borne the brunt Of the war and cer:-
tainly had no love for Germans
could no longer stand.
Maj. Gen. Walter M. Robertson
who commanded O division of the Sd
Amy which occupied Bavaria, made
his headquarters at Bayreuth. the
famous Wagnerian music center. He
decided to organize a German or
cbestra for the entertainment Of the
GIs, and within less than a week
his provost marshal gathered some
$50 musicians, who gave two per-
formances a day in the unchanged
concert hall.
These concerts were very popular
with the GIs, but shortly after they
began Gen. Robertson received q
note from the denaziflcation author
tiles, inquiring whether the players
had been screened. When the
answer was negative screening
took place. About 120 Of the mu-
sicians had been on the Nazi state
payroll and consequently were con-
sidered impure" The orchestra
had to be disbanded and other forms
Of entertainment substituted.
Policy Change Is Slow.
The wrecking crews have not been
withdrawn from our zone OF Ger
many, hence the change of policy
ordered by Washington has been
slow in taking effect. Until recently
the widow of Prof. Kurt Huber, who
led the Hitler student rebellion
in 1943 in Munich, was unable to
obtain a Job or other means Of max
ing living, since Prof. Huber, who
was beheaded by order Of Hitler's
court, was inscribed as professor
on the Nazi rostrum OF Munich Uni
versity.
The forthcoming trials of .ofdcials
and professionals in Germany are
anticipated joyfully by the protag-
onists Of communism in Germany.
They hope to discredit the trials as
whole, although, in fact, only a
minority were actual Nazis. Both
former officials and professional men
are essential to the rebuilding and
reorganization Of the western zones
of Germany, since we have not had
a chance to build new generation
Of qualified persons.
The guilty persons in both these
groups could easily be tried by the
German courts, which in the cases
of Franz Won Papen and Hjalmar
Schacht showed themselves more
severe than the Nuremberg courts
when the latter were composed Of
representative Of the four victori-
Gus nations.
But for some reason, which may
be technically correct, but is GER
tainly unwise from the practical
point Of view. the United States
alone continues to carry on the
function Of what is today only NOM
inally an international court.

war atrocities - than with a new
type of defendant.
The new class Of accused persons
Is that Of German industrialists and
former officials who served all the
German governments from the time
of Kaiser Wilhelm until Germany
fell in defeat before the Allies in
World War II. The defendants also
include other persons who can be
described as war criminals only by
stretching the definition of that
term.
Boon to Red Propaganda.
The prosecutions are being con.
Quoted by a former German citizen
and Official in the pre- Hitler Min
istry Of Economics, DR.. Robert
Kempner, who is now an American
citizen. The prosecutions are pro-
ceeding with all the earlier enthus-
iasm and without regard for the
fact that they strengthen Com
munist propaganda in the Amer
ican zone.
When the German industrialists
were indicted the Communist press
developed the theme that "even the
Americans now are compelled to
recognize that the capitalist system
and big business were the main
cause of Nazism and militarism
and that these were the inevitable
consequence of capitalism and So
called free enterprise"
Officially the American policy in
Germany has been changed In
fact, however, this change has been
scarcely perceptihle. The reason is
that in 1945, after the collapse OF
the Reich, the American Govern
ment sent "wrecking crews" into
Germany in accordance with the
Morgenthau Plan. The men who
composed these crews were hand
picked by the authors of the plan
to reduce Germany to a pastoral
state and applied themselves Wig
orously to put the plan into effect

REGARDING ROBINS, CHERRY
PIES AND HEATING STOVES

It has been said, when the first
robins come, it is time to take
down the heater and prepare for
summer. It has also been remar-
ked that it is sometimes safer to
wait until the first fresh cherry pie
has been baked before storing the
parlor heater. Be that as it may,
the robins have returned to Lin
coin county any maybe spring is
not far behind,
Commissioner P. v. Klinke from
Eureka claims the first robins came
to his district for the 1947 season,
ybut Libby folks have also been see
ing the merry harbingers of spring,
which have been around here for
over a week.
Mrs. Henry Nollar began feeding
four robins back in 1945. The 18th
.of February, 1916 the quartet re-
turned to their friends door, ready
for more handouts. The four birds
stayed around all summer enjoying
the favors of their benefactor who
was prepared the 18th of this month
to greet her feathered friends. The
BIRDS did not appear however and
she wondered if they had met with
nishap during the winter months
spent in the South. Crumbs were
nut out and left in waiting, and
much to Mrs. Nollar's pleasure last
Sunday morning the four fat, dig
nified robins were on hand with
big appetites ready for rations.
However in spite of the robins
return to Lincoln county, most of
cur citizens will probably wait for
few more inches of snow to dis
appear from the level before they
shut down the old heating plant!
