German Captives
In Indiana Camp
Very Arrogant
By Helen Delicti
(Unitd Proa Staff Correspondent)
Camp Scott, Ind. HPi Some 600
of Hitler's "herrenvolk" rem
nants of Rommel's Afrika Korps
and prisoners taken at St. Lo,
Cassino and Anzio are Imprison
ed here for the duration, but today
neithpr the hopelessness of Hit
ler's cause nor their status seem
ingly has dimmed their arrogance
of their nasslonate worship of der
fuehrer.
it That arrogance is only too plain
in their facial expression and
their bearing, despite most of
them wearing clothes classed "X"
unfit for army use with worn
remnants of the wehrmacht unl
it is evident in the looks of
either contempt or mere tolerance
which they give Americans with
whom they come, in contact. It is
evident from the Inflection of
their voices as they discuss
among themselves the men who

Take Pride In Neatness
Camp officers claim that the
nazis are far more capable, more
conscientious, more thorough
workmen than the Italian prison
ers who formerly were interned
at CampScott. Aside from that, of
ficers say, they show more pride
in themselves and their surround,
ings. Their personal effects and
quarters are kept as clean as pos
sible. They have, at Camp Scott, their
own choral group and a small
band, consisting of a pianist, a
drummer, three violinists, a reed
t player, two trumpeters and a
trombonist. Any selection though,
to ears used to Benny Goodman
recordings, would seem strident,
brassy, corny and too much like
the number played before.
They are allowed only standard
wave length radios in their recre
ation halls, but Jerry is skeptical
about the American newscast: He
figures it's propaganda. Their fa
vorite U. S. newspaper prints the
DNB communique in entirety.
One-third Hitler Pictures
They sleep and keep their pos
sessions in small hutments, in
which six men are accommodated.
The wall decorations are general
ly about one-third Varga girls,
one-third clippings from the so
called "spicy" magazines and one
third clippings or pictures of der
fuehrer, his staff and the late
Rommel, obviously the most high
ly revered general.
It was to one of these hutments

happened to be there at that time,
immediately sprang to attention
when the group plodded into the
room.
None of them and they must
be asked individually beforehand
would allow his picture to be
taken. They answered the inter
preter in clipped statements. They
made it plain that the newsmen
were not particularly welcome in
their home.

One of the three prisoners was
a lad, probably not over 17, slight,
wiry, handsome, but, somehow,
IT'S A PAPER SCRAP, ALL RIGHT
If
fkou ty U. I. e.k.
How many times have
you hunted around for a lit
tle piece of paper because
you wanted to write some
body a note, and there just
wasn't any paper to be
found?
That would be an even more
awkward situation if what you
wanted to write was a message
for reinforcements to get the
hell up to the hot corner where
you were and help hold off that
wave of Nazi SS troopers who
are just across the meadow,
studying you through the sights
of Spandau machine guns.
I suppose millions of mes
sage pads must have been
by ERNIE PYLE
printed by the War Depart
ment, but plenty of times his
toric messages have been writ
ten on the backs of laundry
slips, just the same. Paper and
articles made from it are among
the most expendable kinds of
war equipment now being sup
plied to the troops. Which, I
suppose, Is why waste paper is
today the number one war ma
terial shortage on the home
front.
Until you arrive In an active
zone, you've simply no idea how
many tons of paper are needed
to get to an army all the stuff
it needs . . . and there are about
700,000 things our Army needs
right now, and will keep on
needing till they march into
Berlin and Tokyo. It's not just
the ammunition, it's everything
else a soldier wants at one time
or another, in battle or after.
K and C rations are paper
boxed, so is the new U ration
which first turned up in North
Africa, containing practically
everything you'd find in any
well-provisioned overnight bag.
I remember the camp of a
tank unit just back from weeks
of continuous line plunges at
the front. All around it there
were piles of paper cartons and
wrappings, some almost as high
as your bead.
I recall a hard-won field but
lately taken by some of our
paratroopers not long after D
day. It was spangled with the
varl-colored parachutes which
had been dropped with them,
carrying food, ammunition and
knocked -down machine guns.,
Those supply parachutes were
made of waste paper.
I can see the piles of blood
plasma boxes in the hospital
tents during the Hedgerow War
in Normandy. They saved many
a life, and those boxes were all
made of your waste paper.
Maybe being a writer made
me realize how many words it
takes to fight a war, and I don't
mean just talk. I mean the rec
ords that keep track of men and
equipment. Records are the
only way the big brain of the
Army which is the General
Staff can ever remember where
everything is and where it's go
ing. There's an amazing lot of
paperwork connected'With every
battle, every soldier, every shot
fired.
Even maps consume paper by
the carload. It took 125,000,000
of them just for the invasion.
Maps are often issued to non
coms as well as officers. As an
advance progresses such maps
must be changed frequently.
The picture of this war Is
painted on paper and framed in
paper, and the sooner we get
all we need from the home
front, the quicker they'll be
able to add the last stroke and
come on home. It's not much to
ask, is it?

CAMPAIGN
more reminiscent of a brother, a
high-school basketball player or
the kid next door than an enemy
who, not long ago, was killing
Americans.
On a hanger on the wall was his
packet with a few medals, an iron
cross, and a service ribbon. A
newsman stepped up to examine
it. The boy stood impassive. As
the newsman turned, however, to
leave, a contemptuous leer smear
ed the features of the boy, who
suddenly no longer seemed like a
high-school kid.
Goebbels had done a thorough
job!
Polio Campaign
To Start Jan. 15
With a goal of $4,000 to be
raised in Deschutes county, the
eighth annual National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis fund
raising campaign will be launched
here next Monday, it was an
nounced today by Mrs. J. E.
Arnold, county chairman. Half of
the funds to be raised In this
community will be retained for
the relief of local sufferers from
the disease, Mrs. Arnold ex
plained. Highlighting the campaign will
be the annual President's ball, to
be held on the night of Jan. 27.
Because of the spread of the
malady over different sections of
the United States in recent
months, and the fact that Cen
tral Oregon is not held to be im
mune, polio fund campaigners
said they did not anticipate any
fiesitancy on the part of persons
to contribute to the fund.
The drive in Bend will be spon
sored by the Women's Junior
league, it was announced. Mrs.
Norman E. Gilbert, president, to
day laid plans for the erection
of booths in the business district,
where contributions may be
made. Others who wish to donate
by mail may send their money
to Mrs. Arnold, 126 Minnesota
avenue, she said. Names of those
who donate will be published as
the drive progresses, Mrs. Arnold
said.
Funds Supervised
Mrs. Arnold, who has been Des
chutes county polio chairman
since the foundation was begun,
today revealed the manner in
which the funds are administered.
She said that a patient is first

that he encountered real pioneer
ing. Unable to reach the dining
car because of the travel conges
tion, the young sailor, aviation
machinist's mate 2c, went with
out a full meal for two days.
Even pioneers crossing early-day
America In ox-drawn wagons
were able to get at least one full
meal daily, Paul points out.
Briefly, his advice to people who
do not have to travel is to stay
home.
Paul made much better time
and fared better on his trip from
Brazil lo Florida, he has indicated.
That trip was made by plane. He
slept and ate high in western!
hemisphere skies. He was far
less than two days In making the
trip from Brazil to Florida, but
was five days and five nights In
getting home from Florida. Paul
was in Brazil for a year and a
half, and the only Bend boy he
met in all that time was Howard
Brown, ATM 3c. Thev trained
together at Farragut, Memphis
and Pensacola. Before going to
Brazil, Paul was stationed at
Trinidad.
A Bend high school track letter
man, Paul found some time below
the equator to engage In athletics
and was a member of the U. S.
navy track team in Brazil, and In
his own outfit was 150 pound
boxing champion of his section.
The Bend sailor has been land
based, but has flown several
thousand miles. From Bend, he
expects to go to a Liberator bomb
er school, to acquaint himself
with the engine of that big raider.

and telling of Moore's acceptance
of the post, Judge Allen, chair
i man of the defense council, said:
! "It is often difficult to induce
j another person to take over the
i duties of a payless, thankless job
! following an outstanding admin
istrator. Such was the courage
; and patriotism, however, of Jack
! son Moore. Although he had less
time than needed for his own
business, he sacrificed time that
: should have been devoted to the
i conduct of his own business, and
I all of any time that he might
have had for recreation or pleas
' ure, to serve the people of Des
chutes county and the welfare of
the nation. Praise for the sacri
: fice of time and the able adminls
: tration of the office of chairman
of the war price and ration hoard
is justly due Mr. Moore.
"We are not unmindful of the
host of loyal and faithful fellow
workers on the board, and we
: have the highest regard and the
: deepest appreciation for the serv
ices they are ail so generously
i giving. I know that the public, no
less than we, feel the same.
; "I know that the new chair
man, whoever he may be, may
depend upon the help of his pred
ecessors and all the board mem
. bers and employes, for the con
; tinued conduct of this vital func
' tion.
"Without the necessity of fill.
Ing any positions on the Red
mond board, the civilian defense
council at this time would like to
present 'a boquet' to Chairman
Borden reck and all his fellow
members and helpers on the Red
