Axis Sally, Once Mental Glamour
Girl, Just Another Illusion
By DON WHITEHEAD
WA3HINGTON CP) All during the wr yean, allied soldiers
thought they were listening to young, beautiful woman when they
tuned in on "Axis Sally" broadcasting from Berlin.
Axis Sally had that kind of voice the kind that weaves an illu
sion for tired and lonely men who have been months and years away
from home.
I remember the first time I
heard Axis Sally. Montgomery's
bignin Army was cnaslng Rom
mel's Afrlka Korps across the
western desert toward Bengasi
and defeat In Tunisia. There
wasn't much time to rest, but
occasionally the traffic Jam on
the desert road forced halts
along the way.
One night at Halfaya 'Hell
Fire) pass, tired British soldiers
gathered around a radio after
upper. A signalman tuned In a
BBC program. It was a bore
some discourse by a Mr. Heath-
stone Witherlngton, or some
body with a like name, on Dahlia
culture In Kensington. The BBC
seemed to specialize In programs
nonoav waniea to near.
Hell, Jock" a Highlander
growled. "Let's hear Axis Sally."
jock spun me aiais ana in a
few momenta the soft, pulsim
strains of an American melody
uoatea across tne desert.
Vale of ths Slrsn
When the music ended, a
throaty woman's voice whispered
words Intended to stir longing
and desire and homesickness in
the hearts of those who listened.
The voice talked of home and
wives and sweethearts and how
foolish It was to tight the Ger
mans. It told the men to give up
the fight and go back home to
their loved ones. It was a voice
that tried to seduce and break
the hard spirit of the desert rats
so far from home.
Oh, they liked Axis Sally
those tough men of the desert.
They liked her American brand
of music and her warm voice that
made them forget for a moment
the cold winds of the desert
night Just because It was femi
nine. But they laughed at Sally's
commercials the sloppy mer
chandise she tried to soil them.
And now they tell us Axis Sal
ly is no glamor-gal at all.
The government says she Is
I American-born Mildred Elizabeth
ICillars a tired-looking, graying
! woman of ordinary figure and
features who is nearing the half-
century mark In age.
She Is accsued of "unlawfully,
willfully and treasonably" aid
ing Germany during the war by
trying to break the morale of
Allied troops with her music and
seductive voice. She was brought
here from Frankfurt, Germany,
and Is awaiting trial.
If Mildred Elizabeth Glllars
Is Axis Sally then a lot of
men around the world are going

Klamath, Deschutes and Lincoln

since 1940, little mora than held
their own. In all seven counties,

gin for leadership among upstate

roil, an increase of 27.6 per cent

er wages, 5.4 per cent higher

ties reported more payrolls in the
first quarter of 1948 than the
entire year of 1940. One county
Douglas actually doubled that
year's figures, and Linn and
Josephine came close to it.
