(U."J Just out of a German concentration camp alter 13 months' imprisonment, I visited here in the south a camp of German prisoners of war, to judge the contrast, and, , readily enough reached the conclusion that trteir lot is far, far better than mine was.

If ever again I am to be taken prisoner and interned in a prison Y camp, I hope I am taken prisoner by the Amertcan army and sent into a camp in this country Camp Croft, at Spartanburg, S.C., for example. Nazis Not Pampered German prisoners in American camps are no pampered pets; they do live, however, in a luxury which very few Germans share to day and their meals are better than anything Hitler, Himmler, Goering or the other nazi leaders can eat in Germany these days. In one meal at Camp Croft the prisoner gets more vitamins and calories than we American pris oners, interned in Baden Baden under the guard of Himmler's ges tapo, got in a week. "We respect the Geneva con vention to the letter, no more, no less," Col. Charles Fox, command er of the stockade at Camp Croft, told me. To a veteran of German prison camps, however, the difference of conditions is tremendous. In Ger many we often went hungry; here every prisoner shares exactly the ration of any American soldier. Ve were given no clothing or chance to buy new things in Ger many when ours wore out; here the German prisoner is refitted from head to foot as often as his things become shabby. We were isolated by the gestapo, forbidden to read American war com muniques or listen to them over the radio; here the camp com- 1' I lelly beans are given their characteristic shape when hot syrup, fed inta powdered cornstarch molds, forms the sweet centers.

Fox con sents so long as the total falls within the cash value of the com plete rations established by the war department. Occasionally, a prisoner tries to run away, but seldom. In the only recent case the German was picked up by the FBI within an hour in Spartanburg. j In Camp Croft there has been i no trouble between the nazi ele- ment and the non-nazis among the prisoners, although army officers Zenith Hearing Aid DR. ELLIOTT Optometrist Eyesight Specialist 87 East Broadway ' Phone 419 told me that in many other camps there has been trouble. In those cases, tiie younger prisoners were inevitably militant nazis and the older prisoners were non-political or openly anti-nazi. Wherever possible, within the stockades, the militant nazis at' tempt to rule over the other Ger mans. Always, however, they re spect American authority. Army officers call them model prisoners but doubt that capture and im prisonment has changed their po litical mentality Believe Cities Bombed I was told that some of the younger, more militant nazis ac tually believe that New York, Washington and other eastern cities have been badly damaged by German bombers. While I was in Germany, until two months ago, I never heard that rumor which ap pears, however, lo have been pre valent among the troops iri the ; Like all fine things, good beer is wortti waiting ''V Jwk Conooiseuw would rather wait a day or two for their favorite.-.

Recently when a special train arrived in a southern camp from Canada, via Buffalo and Cleve land, bringing new prisoners of war, an officer questioned them on their belief. "You have seen much of this country and you have seen no damage, so how can you believe that New York and Washington have been bombed?" the officer asked a German. "I am convinced It is true, ejsc why did you route us a longer way instead of bringing us directly through New York and Washing ton where we might have seen the destruction?" the German replied.
