actually took three trucks to clear
CUT
The regiment had stopped a few
days in its drive through Germany
An old German translator begged
the officers of the 175th to take out
q cache of silver which he feared
would be destroyed.
The silver set had belonged 10
the HOhenZ0llerns. II included
among other things, 324 dinner
plates, with all the goblets, bowls
platters, candle-sticks and such
hat go with such a layout.
Silver an Issue
On an 0. X. from a higher Off
Ger 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 II
is the properly of the U. S. gov
ernment 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 covers all the
war souvenirs now III American
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 govern
ment can do.
But the U. S. has traditionally
been very strict about 1T amt nice
to steal and Never kick a fellow
when he's down.
In World War I top American
officer in Paris received a picture
of German Iron Cross displayed
in a Midwest jewelry store, window
The Army found the man who had
sent 1t home, an ambulance driver
He said a German officer had
sold it to him. The Army didn't be-
lieve the story. The Iron Cross was
shipped back, the German found
and the cross returned.

Russian Viewpoint

The Russians appear 10 look at
the subject differently. Our recent
ambassador to Poland, Arthur
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 ally, not an enemy.
Army officers have to make some
quick, and often humorous, decl-
sion to look the other way.
In the final shove for Berlin in
1945 the men marched east loaded
down with battle gear.
An officer spotted one American
yOungster bent nearly double un-
der his gear. He carried his rifle in
his right hand. From his left dang
led 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.
tOOty VS. trophy
Booty is always public property.
1t becomes the property of the VIC
tor government, but there is a point
at which booty can legally become
the property of individual soldiers.
Then it is called war trophy"
In northern Italy our army found
q huge store of little squirrel coats,
which the Germans wore under
winter battle dress. These were
parcelled out to GIs to keep. They
became trophies.
Also in northern Italy the Amer
lean army found a cache of 100000
liters Ga liter is about quartz of
very good cognac. That was parcel
led out to GIs too, and after they'd
drunk It, it definitely became per
sOnal property"

W Booty
By sIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON ~ The rules on
what a victor nation (like us) can
take from conquered nation Qike
Germany or Hungary are pretty
ioggy. But the things we can take
legally are called booty"
We're talking here about things
that fall to armies as they advance
mot reparations, which are decid-
ed by treaty after the war is over,
The arguments over what is
booty are many and varied.
Just recently a Senate commit
tee decided that we can keep los
Hungarian horses the Army cap
tured in Germany and shipped over
here.
The state department had argued
they should go back to Hungary,
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 use for war.
The Army said they found the
horses in Germany after a battle
Obviously horses can be used IN
war. So the horses appeared to the
Senate committee to be booty un-
der the best laws of war. The State
Departmental first disagreed, 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 silver banquet
service. The 175th regiment (orl-
einally a Maryland national guard
outfit) came upon some silver that

Few Changes To Be
Made In Game Laws

The annual public game hearing
held last week in Columbus gave
individual sportsmen, farmers and
group representative a chance to
voice their opinions to the Conser-
vation and Natural Resources Com
mission about the 1948-49 hunting
and trapping regulations but
recommended changes were few.
The major recommendation con-
cerned the daily hunting hours for
rabbits and pheasants.
Six of the seven conservation
districts, represented by a farmer
and sportsman delegate from
each district, reported that their
districts favored more evening
hunting time as a benefit to the
factory worker. Hunting hours
last year We're 9 a. m. to a p. m.
District /, comprising those
counties in northwestern Ohio,
recommended that the hunting
hours remain the same as last
year. Individual representatives
Of the sportsmen's interests in the
industrial area of Akron told those
attending the hearing that if the
Commission felt that last years
hunting hours would conserve
game then the hours should be the
same as last year, since the Com
missions primary responsibility
to the hunter is to keep the game
brood stock and surplus in proper
balance.
The 8 to hunting hours were
imposed last year particularly to
reduce the kill of pheasants which
are easy prey to the gunner in the
early morning and late evening
hours as the birds move to and
from the feeding areas.
The Commission, following the
hearing, took no official action
on the regulations usually set as
tentative for period of 80 days,
for lack of a quorum. Chairman
Allen Rupp, Cambridge, said that
although there had been a quorum
present setting tentative rules
and regulations regarding hunting
hours would have been deferred
until more information is avail
able about the outcome of the
spring nesting season of both
rabbits and pheasants.
Rupp pointed out that the Com
missions responsibility to the
hunting public is to determine as
accurately as possible the amount
of game in the field and to impose
only such restrictions that will
safeguard the brood stock.
Action of the Commission at
the June meeting will take into
consideration the recommendations
presented at the public hearing but
will also have to be based on game
population information.

LEGION NOTES
BY ARCHIE KING

The weatherman. gave US his
full support this ye,r and no Me
mortal Day services were ham
pered by rain. The services at
Elmore were rather Unusual. A
plaque was dedicated to- the seven
men who lost their lives in World
War / and to the seven who lost
their lives in World War ii . :.
The services at Putin Bay rival
these of Elmore in uhiqueness.
Veterans of the island Legion
post honored three British and
three American fighters who
gave their lives there in the War
of 1872. These veterans are bur-
led in the rotunda at the base of
the Perry monument Many
men who are not veterans lend
valuable assistance in making
Memorial Day a success. Judge
William A. Hunt delivered three
speeches at Memorial services
this weekend. Attorney John
Reinheimer is also always ready
to speak in behalf of the veteran.

Saving Bond Sale
Ends On June 80

United States Savings bonds are
security bonds.
Individuals. provide for their
own individual security when they
invest in United States Savings
bonds, and at the same time they
help to maintain the economic
security of their community.
During World War ii, patriot
ism and provision for future needs
combined to influence the people
of this community to form the
habit of Buying War Bonds"
By VI Day the families in this
community had built a substantial
reserve in United States Savings
Bonds, the safest possible invest
ment, and an investment on which
the annual interest return to this
community is of considerable i'm
portance.
The practice Of creating re-
serves for future needs by regular
purchases of bonds Of our Federal
Government should be a perma-
nent and definite part of the finan-
cial program of every family. A
reserve in United States Savings
Bonds is as much needed by every
family as is land, livestock and
machinery in well-managed farm
business.
The Security Loan Drive, which
ends June 80, is a community ac-
tivity that deserves the support
of every citizen.
