    Nazi Leaders Preach Haired
For American Way of Life
By LAHRY. ALLEN
(Jurt repatriated from a German prison camp)
NEW YORK, June 8-P-Intcnae; all-consuming, "day and night
, hatred of the American people is the order of the day in nazi
Germany. " 1 j
. Her press and radio pound it into the war-tired brains of the
German people constantly. j
Leading the campaign is Robert Ley, chief spokesman for Hitler,
Ley's job as chief of the labor front is to keep every able hand
working for the war machine. But
he travels over all Germany with
his cry of hate and blazons it
daily in the Berlin newspaper,
"Der Angrif f."
This is typical.
rHate! Hate! Hate! Every Ger
man must hate the gangsters, the
murderers, the assassins who come
from the center of world Jewry
and capitalism the United States
of America.
, !Its. luftgangsters murder your
women and children, they destroy
your homes. .
v fin this war, there can be no
compromise with these half-breed
Americans who come across the
sea to slay in a war that does - not
concern, them." ..
" Runner-up is Eeichminister Al
fred Rosenberg, who travels from
the Balti ccountries to Romania.
" Recently, before a capacity audi
ence in Prague, he said:
fThere is more culture in the
poorest home of a German peasant
than in all of the United States.
- "Americans . are the bloodiest
sneer on culture and freedom the
. world has ever known.
fThey erect skyscrapers of steel
and concrete; they , live on sex,
and propagate a cross-section of
' the world's worst examples of
humanity." . ,
j , - The average German thinks the
Americans are "soft" because they
" feed ice cream i cones, and good
food to Nazi prisoners of war.
German prisoners released from
the United States frequently told
me that Americans regard Ger
mans as "supermen" and treat
them as guests, i
!"You," a German prison camp
official told me, "Are a prisoner
of war. You are subject. to the
most rigid German military con-
. trol. This isn't Hollywood you eat
.what we give you or go without
.anything. Germany - produces sol
diers. Here everyone works. In
. America, everyone plays and hopes
. the war will go on for a long time
so everyone will; make more mon
ey. To us, this war is life or death.
"To you Americans, it is just
another episode In a Hollywood
film.. And, of course, as long as
"your prison camp officers treat
Germans like guests, they accept
- it, but secretly they think you
'Americans are "soft". and foolish."
' In Innsbruck a German captain
dragged me out of a cattle car in
which I had ridden for 48-hours
with only a slice of . black bread
and a ring of German wurstmet
to eat.
' "Why did you come over here
to fight?", he stormed. "Why don't
you . Americans : live up to your
Monroe doctrine of America for
Americans and stay out of Europe?
You Americans want all the oil
and gold in the world!"
"You forget," "! answered, "that
you first declared war on America
The United States doesn't want
anything in Europe. We fight only
to preserve the right to live our
lives the way we want to live it"
"Schweinhund! American dog!
he screamed, "you will someday
live under the Deutsches Reich.
We will win this war, because all
you Americans think of is money.
getting back home to your women,
whiskey and leg-shows. '
I shrugged and " climbed - back
upon my pallet of straw.

Union Hints
New Strike
At Ward Plant
WASHINGTON, June 8-()-A
union official accused the gov
ernment today of a "do noth
ing" attitude in the Montgomery
Ward labor dispute, and declared
that the threat of a' new strike is
in the air as a result.
Samuel Wolchok, president of
the International Retail and
Wholesale Workers (CIO), testi
fied at hearings of the house
committee investigating the gov
ernment's seizure last April of
Wards' Chicago plant.
'When the government seized
the plant, it did nothing to en
force the war labor board direct
ive for restoration of the pro
visions of the contract," he said.
"On top of that, it did nothing
to Btopi the company from con
tinuing unfair labor practices un
der the j very nose of the govern
ment's occupancy. The company
intensified its reign of terror dur
ing the period the government
was nominally in control. Twen
ty-two ! workers lost their jobs
while an American flag was fly
ing over Montgomery Wards." ' '
Wolchok noted that the WLB
again has ordered Wards to con
tinue provisions of an expired
union contract, pending negotia
tion of a new one, but asserted
there was no assurance it would
be done.
Questioned by Representative
Elston (R-Ohio), Wolchok said
the company had shifted a con
siderable portion of its business
from Chicago to other establish
ments after the seizure and com
mented: "Do you think we'r'e going to
stand for that? We are going to
have another strike."
Explaining this further, Wol
chok said that the shift of busi
ness meant a reduction in em
ployment in the Chicago' branch.
The I government seized the
Chicago plant after the company
refused to comply with an earlier
WLB order. . The. management
contended then that there was no
assurance the union represented
a majority of employes. When a
collective bargaining election was
held, the government returned
the plant to management control.
The union won the election.
Cavern Group
Names Heads
Members of the Willamette uni
versity Bearcat Cavern policy
committee named Ruth Farmer
and Elsie Kook as co-managers of
the student project for the sum
mer semester. The new managers
will open the Cavern July 10, al
lowing; a week's closing period
for making repairs. Together with
the present co-managers, Thelma
Lathrop and Miriam Day, the
women will list recommended re
pairs and improvements to be ap
proved by the board.
Contrary to former managers,
Miss Kook plans to work full time
in the Cavern. It is expected that
the student union will not be so
greatly affected - by the labor
shortage expected this summer
under the new system. Miss Far
mer will work half time -at the
Cavem.
The Cavern will be open during
final examination week of the
present semester if enough help
is available, it was announced this
week.
