Washington, May 1 iti'i Now
wo have German prisoners of war
anointing themselves with per
fumed skin oils and bringing out
the glisten in their hair with bot
tled shampoos deluxe.
No cracks, customers, please,
until you've read on:
"Sure they get this stuff." said
Brig. Gen. B. M. Bryan, the hard
boiled, bald-as-a-billiardball boss
of the 400,000 prisoners now in
America. ."They get other funny
items, too, like ash trays, and
cigar and clgaret holders.
We sell the German these
things. We're glad to do It. 'He
buys 'em out of his 8u cents a day
earnings. The more money he
spends (for what the general ob
viously considers junk), the less
he takes back later to Germany
and the better we like it."
Gen. Byran was testifying be
fore the house military affairs
committee about our treatment of
war prisoners. The members pelt
ed him with questions about
Easter ham for Germans and beer
and cigarets; nazl salutes and cele
brations of der Adolf s birthday.
I thought I d get that , ham
question," said the general when
Rep. Charles R. Clason of Mass.,
brought It up. "They got one ham.
It was one that had been rejected
by the at-my. It was old and it was
salty. They were lucky to get It."
The general went on to say
that he'd been trying to live up to
the Geneva convention about giv
ing prisoners the same treatment
that American soldiers get. Here
lately, he said, the rules have
been toughened.
A week or so ago cigarets and
cigars were made verboten for
Germans. Gen. Byran said those
pretty clgaret holders wouldn't
do 'em much good, unless they
were experts at rolling their own
(The army still lots 'em buy to-
uacco.)
It used to be that German pris
oners gave the nazl salute when
ever they did any saluting. Rep.
Walter G. Andrews of New York
said he'd spent three or four aft
ernoons In a prison camp, where
ne naci trie nazi salute thrown at
him every couple of steps. He said
ho didn't like it. The general said
he didn't blame the congressman
and that a week ago today the
order went out forcing nazl priso
ners to do their saluting in Amerl
can style. He said they never had
been allowed to celebrate Hit
ler's birthday. Somebody asked
whether the Red Cross ever held
dances for Germans, as reported,
"I should say not," General Bry
an said. "Even if the Red Cross
wanted to do it, I would have for
bidden it."
Another congressman brought
up reports of German prisoners
in a North Carolina camp con
tracting venereal diseases from
female workers in the laundry.
Gen. Byran said he'd investigated
that and had discovered that the
camp had no laundry, no laun
dresses, and no disease.
He made a first class witness.
He indicated that, he gave the
Germans exactly what the rules
said he had to give 'em, and no
more. Any monkey business (he
used that phrase) and they went
on a diet of bread and water. ,.
If they like to spend their mon
ey on sweet-smelling unguents
ana u s nard-earnea they re
suckers and It serves 'em right.
Makes the general chortle.

Ickes May Take
Oyer Coal Mines
Washington, May 1 (111 Secre
tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes
said after a conference with Presi
dent Truman today that he was
prepared to take over strikebound
Pennsylvania hard coal mines.
Ickes conferred with Truman
about 25 minutes. He did not say
when he expected to take over
the mines but indicated he was
ready to move instantly.
The strike resulted from a fail
ure of anthracite operators and
the United Mine workers to agree
on a wage-hour contract to replace
the one which expired last mid
night. Some 72.000 miners adhered
to traditional UMW policy of "no
contract, no work."
Ickes look the hard coal Issue
to the White House as Union
spokesmen in New York said
UMW President John L. Lewis
would not personally attend a
meeting here today to which he
was summoned by the war labor
board. , ;
Is Bad News
Ickes told White House report
ers that Truman characterized his
coal report as the worst news he
had received this morning.
Part of the bad news, as .di
vulged by Ickes, is that the gov
ernment Is having to take over
some bituminous mines which
"are beginning to fall out of pro
duction" because of what the sec
retary called a "quirk" in 'the re
cently-approved soft coal wage
contract.
The government Is expected to
act quickly to seize the anthra
cite mines u iewis reiuses io can

Dr. Paul Needham

the state game commission, has
accepted an invitation to address

ular meeting on May 28. Don

two' hours after a resolution in
viting Dr. Needham had been

pleted.

gist for the California game de
partment, author of scientific
books on fish propagation and

fish In Oregon.
?2 BILL COLLECTION STOLEN
Fort Worth, Tex. OB W. O.
Compton has decided the old su
perstition that $2 bills are un
lucky is correct. His hobby, until
recently, was collecting S2 bills.
He had about a hundred of them
in a strong box in his restaurant.
Burglars who entered through a
hole in the roof, cut for. a ventilat
ing fan, damaged a new and
empty $500 cash register beyond
repair and then took the strong
box containing the S2 bills.

San Francisco, May 1 UPi Sov

to Moscow, It was learned today,
but the decision was attributed
to the imminent end of the Europ
ean war rather than conference
disputes with the American and
British. .
The exact date of Molotov's de
parture is expected to be fixed
within the next 24 hours.
British foreign secretary an
thony Eden, who is under similar
pressure to get back to London,
will stay in San Francisco at least
two weeks more, it was under
stood, and probably through the
duration of the conference.
Stay b Brief
It was learned that Molotov In
dicated when he came to the
United States that his stay must
necessarily be very brief. Some
quarters said he had already
stayed here longer than he origin
ally planned.
The Impending departure of
Molotov cas an air of urgency
over conference deliberations. Al
though delegates have been here
a week, the organization of the
commissions ' and committees
which will do the actual work is
only being accomplished today.
It. was regarded as imperative
that as much work as possible be
accomplished before Molotov

Many other European delegates

It was learned that:
1 The United States will pre

ments to the Dumbarton Oaks
plan for world organization. They
will be made public as soon as
they have been delivered to the
other sponsoring governments.
As an answer to reporters that
Molotov was packing his bags ."in

cision, it was stated authoritative
ly that at a' big four meeting last
night In Stettinius' apartment,
Molotov showed no indication of
