rode down to the beach.
I saw about 150 German pris
oners, a lot of them looking , like
kids, even as young, as 13 or 14
years old.; Others were about 43.
Finally I got out to an LST
(landing ship, tanks).
Another; ' fellow who came in
with us was a Capt. Adams, who
landed with the airbornes as a
sort of glider expert to see what
could be ; done about salvaging
them.'
He told me he was captured
about 30 minutes after his glider
landed Tuesday night A direct hit
from a German aviation gun on
the glider! killed his major and
all the rest except three, who were
taken prisoner.
The Germans moved them to
one prison camp and then to an
other. They were not taking care
of the American wounded at all.
He said "they left a glider pilot
with his leg blown off bleeding
to death," he told me. "They threw
away their rifles and took ours.'
He said he struck up a conver
sation with a German officer aft'
er giving him some of his rations.
Adams told him the Germans
ought to surrender and that they
were surrounded on three sides.
The German said they , wouldn't
do it because they had been told
the Americans would cut their
throats. He kept on talking to this
fellow and finally to another Ger
man officer and 157 of them sur
rendered. They were turned over
to military! police.
I didn't see any booby traps or
hear of any; our fellows have been
pretty cautious about them.
I never saw so much stuff be
ing landed everything you could
imagine, big bulldozers moving in
to build landing strips, all kinds
of tanks, vehicles and supplies.

Budget Not
Much Larger
Albany Non-Hit
District, Out of. Debt,
Finds Cut in Interest
ALBANY Because the Linn
county non-high school .district Is
out of debt, the budget committee
at its meeting Monday j brought
forth a budget calling for only
17510. more than that compiled
last year, although it had previ
ously allowed an increase of $8000
for tuition payments.
The new budget calls for expen
ditures of $68,200 for the 1844-45
year. Offsetting the rise caused
by increased tuition expectations
is the elimination of a $500 item
last year for payment! of interest
on indebtedness, which has now
been paid. Only other
increase in
the budget is in the
amount of
$10 for clerical hire
and legal
services, raising this
item from
$15 as itemized in last
year's bud-
get to $25 for the present year.

pose of selecting a representative
