OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1942 CAPTURED NAZIS ARE IMPRESSED BYU.SJMNES , "Can't Compete Against That," Says One Young German Taken at Slrte. Bf Henry Oorrell '. United Pre" Correspondent. With the Eighth Army In Tripolitanla, Dec. 7 OJ.B D layed) German prisoners cap tured while laylnf mi net on the road iouthwet of Sirte today atared, open mouthed, at Allied tanka, gune, and trucka rolling west. . They wera tired and hungry and .hadn't talked much. Then auddenly, aa 11 speaking to him self, the youngest, blond youth who looked 20, said: "Die mange tut s Amerika." (It's the quantity that counts America.) "We can't compete against that," he added. That thought la likely to be in the minds of thousands of Germans aa they retreat toward Tripoli. ; Mot To Think ! It la not the German soldier's business to talk or even think about such things. The German high command heretofore has done all their thinking for them. They can't tell why, but most of the Oermana captured out her refuse to believe that Mar shal Erwin Rommel or the old Afrlka korpa can be defeated. They have blind faith In their leader's ability to pull some thing out of the bag at the last minute. , It doesn't look much like he can at the moment. There were 10 Axla tanka in Slrte when a famous British cavalry regiment entered It on Christmas day. The tanks retreated without an argu ment. t Considering the blind faith the ordinary Oerman soldier haa In till command, It might be won dered what would happen In the dry river beda somewhere west of Sirte today if Rommel were to admit to his troops that ht lied when he told them last November that Stalingrad had fallen. Every German soldier captured In the desert la con vinced of It Hia officers had told him to. V ' Refuse To Believe The Germans captured while laying mines thought we were lying when we told them Stalin grad waa more than holding and that the Rusaiana had broken through German llnea In the middle Don. It Isn't that Oerman news papers haven't been reaching the Afrlka korpa. I found a November 23 copy of Adolf Hit ler's own newspaper, Voelklach or Beobachter, in an abandoned dugout yesterday, but It referred to the fighting in Russia In the vaguest term. A good many German troops who arrived aa reinforcements to November, and who were In Russia, have the greatest respect for the Red army. "The Russians fight en past the point when German troon would surrender," one such Ger man said. i- A very few German prisoners even admit now that they be lieve Germany will lose the war. In this connection, they read Jly confess that they had not uiougni tne British had so much equipment. Former 'Dust Bowl' : Grows Bumper Cross: 1 Wheal Flourishing Topeka. Kan. U.B Farm ers of western and southwestern Kansas, who refused to leave their land even during the worst daya of the drought when much of the region waa classed aa the "dust bowl," have been com pletely vindicated In their faith, the department of agriculture re ports In releasing statistics which show that that area pro duced a bumper crop of wheat last year. Last year Kansas produced one of Its largest and probably Its most profitable wheat crops In years. And about half of that wheat came from a land former ly classed aa part of the "dust bowl." Millions of shelter belt trees have been clanteH nn tha nlaln. to help prevent a recurrence of the dust storm of 1034 and 1035, but chief factor In returning the dust bowl to fertility was ample rainfall. Now all the scars of the drought years have been erased and land where dust was former ly more than a foot thick 1 green with growing wheat NOT OUILTY PLEA Chinook, Mont., Dec. 20 U.B Leslie Self era, 17-year-old Har lem high school youth, entered a plea of not guilty today to a charge of first degree murder re sulting from the Dec.
