Army officers have to make
some quick, and often humorous,
decisions to look the other way.
In the final shove for Berlin
in 1945 the men marched east
loaded with battle gear.
An officer spotted one Ameri-
can youngster bent nearly double
under his gear. He carried his
rifle in his right hand. From his
left dangled a fancy bird cage.
1t was not legal booty, but the
officer just grinned. He figured
the youngster would soon learn
that a bird cage is no help IN
battle.
Booty VS.. Trophy
Booty is always public proper
ty. 1t becomes the property OF the
victor government, but there is
a point at which booty can le-
gally become the property OF IN
dividual soldiers. Then it is called
"war trophy.
In northern Italy our army
found a huge store of little SOUR
rel coats which the Germans wore
under winter battle dress. These
were parcelled out to CTS to keep
They became trophies.
Also in northern Italy the Am
erican army found a cache OF
| 800 $1,000 liters Ia liter is about q
quartz of very good cognac. Tha,
was parcelled out to CTS too, and
after they'd drunk it, it definitely
became personal property.

banquet service. The 175th regi-
ment Originally a Maryland ma
tional guard outfit came upon
some silver that actually took
three trucks to clear out.
The regiment had stopped a few
days in its drive through Ger
many. An old German translator
begged the officers of the 175th
to take out a cache of silver which
he feared would be destroyed.
The silver set had belonged to
the Hohenzollerns. 1t included,
among other things, 324 dinner
plates, with all the goblets, bowls,
platters, candle-sticks and such
that go with such a layout.
Silver An Issue
On an OK from a higher of
ficer in the U. S. army, the stuff
was shipped over here. 1t has been
decided that the set is legal booty,
but no one has decided whether
It is the property of the u. S. gov
eminent or of the 175th regiment.
The 175th wants it. 1t would look
right nice at its annual dinners.
The subject of booty fades into
the vagueness which cover all
the war souvenirs now in Ameri-
can homes-guns, cameras or you
name it. Army officers say troops
pick up things, but as long as an
officer doesn't know about it
there is nothing the army or the
government can do.
But the u. S. has additionally
been very strict about "It amt
nice to steal' and "Never kick
a fellow when he's down."
In World War l a top American
officer in Paris received a picture
of a German Iron Cross displayed
in a Midwest jewelry store win
dow. The army found the man
who had sent it home, an am
bulance driver.
He said a German officer had
sold it to him. The army didn't
believe the story. The Iron Cross
was shipped back, the German
found and the cross returned.
Russian Viewpoint
The Russians appear to look at
the subject differently. Our re-
cent ambassador to Poland, Ar
thur Bliss Lane, says he saw long
lines of horse carts leaving Poland
for Russia, loaded with bath tubs,
washing machines, mattresses and
what have you. Much of it, he
says, was taken from Polish
homes. And Poland was an al
ly, not an enemy.

Victor Nations
Con Legally
Take Booty"
By SIGRID ARNE

Washington-The rules on what
a victor nation (like us) can take
from a conquerer nation like Ger
many or Hungary r pretty fog
gy. But the things we can take
legally are called booty.
We're talking here about things
that fall to armies as they advance
NOT r%eparations, which are de
eided by treaty after the war
is over.
The arguments over what is
"booty" are many and varied.
Just recently a Senate com
mittee decided that we can keep
los Hungarian horses the army
captured in Germany and shipped
over here.
The state department had ar
gued they should go back to Hun
gary, but the army wanted to
keep them.
Rules On Usefulness
In international rules of war,
booty is anything taken on the
field of battle that the enemy
could use in War-but that we.
having taken it, can also S for
war.
The army said they found the
horses in Germany after a battle.
Obviously horses Ear be used in
war. So the horses appeared to
the Senate committee to be booty
under the best laws of war. The
State department at first dis
agreed, but now it has revised its
opinion and thinks the army
should keep the horses.
But consider how difficult it is
to decide about booty when it
comes to such things as a silver

NIGHT All of Aunt Haggars
Chillun large and small was talking
about the same thing everywhere
we went. TIL of the good brothers
and sister swas all stirred up over
what they had seen and heard
about drafting everybody before
long, and that maybe we was 60
ing to have another war and things
just didn't look too good nowhere.
Well, one of the brothers that was
gathered with us up in our fav-
orite Avenoo spot spoke right out
and said a whole lot of something
that had everybody thinking for
a long time after he had got thru
talking. This brother said that he
wasn't no diplomat or nothing like
tn t,but he Figured that this shore
was a bad time for anybody in
this country to be talking about
beig superior to others, and still
worse to be talking about folks
in this country ought to be separ-
ated from others. He said that the
way he had it Figured was that if
this country does git into a war
with any of the rest of them
people over there, they wasn't 60
ing to overlook nobady when they
started mailing out them greet
ings, and backing up them ships
to them harbors, loading them
with as many of the good brothers
as they can get on it. Course he
said he wasn't wishing for no war
with nobody, notime for nuthing,
but it shore loked like it might
come whether he wants it or not,
and he Figures that it won't do
no good for nobody in this country
to be fueding and a-fighting. Of
course you knew we was just sit
ting and listening to the good
brothtr, but you know he might
been kinda right. These people
