London, Oct. 29 (U.PJ Tech. Sgt. Norman Goodwin ot Bradford, Mass., among the American airmen re patriated from Germany this week, said today that he was punished in a German prison hospital for heiling President Roosevelt. ' "I was walking through the ward when a German patient sat up in bed and said, 'Amer ican swine,' " Goodwin said. "I replied, 'that's right. Heil Roosevelt!' " Goodwin said he was repri manded severely and, among other things, deprived of the privilege of taking a bath for several weeks. grits made of barley," Williams said. "We looked forward to cab bage days because anyone can cook cabbage, even German cooks. We usually saved the potatoes for supper tea, as the British called it which we usually had about 5:30." From 1 to p. m. the prison ers had to stay in their bunks, reading or talking in low tones, he said. Sometimes they could sneak to a fellow prisoner's bunk for card or chess game. Late in the day they split up the food sent in by the Red Cross. "If it hadn't been for 'the Red Cross parcels, we would have starved," he said. "We formed what was known as combines of five men to pool the parcels. If a man had a bad stomach the others in the combine would let him have the things which help ed him most. Scant Rations ' "The Germans gave us rations of a small teacup of beet sugar weekly and a fifth of a pound of margarine. I was lucky to be in the best combine in the hospital with New Zealander who made meat rolls with the tinned meat from the parcels and the potatoes. "The Germans kept a elose check of tins of food so that no body could store them up for an escape." Every day, he said, was Just like the day before with the Germans ordering all' lights out promptly at 8:39 p. m. CHILDREN SUFFOCATE Chicago. Oct 29.

United Press Staff Correspondent Somewhere -in England, Oct. 29 (U.R) The day in a German hospital prisons begins with Nazi guards .growling "raus mit you" and ends with prisoners dividing Red Cross parcels to supplement a starvation, diet, Staff Sgt. Milton Williams,' a maimed American veteran from Omaha, Neb., said today. "It's life like that makes you madder than Hell when you hear people back home griping about conditions," Williams said. "Peo ple who gripe should see what it is like in Germany. In prison you really learn respect for human rights. . ' Half of Leg Gone - Williams, who lost half of one leg when he bailed out of a Fly ing Fortress last April 17 dur ing the bombing of Bremen, is a sandy-haired former construc tion engineer. His wife, Velma, is an orchestra leader. Potatoes and one other vege table and black potato bread were about all the prisoners were given by the Germans, Williams said, adding that with out the food parcels sent in by the Red Cross, they would have starved. . The German .orison camo from which Williams had just return ed is the Stalag 9-C near Obser- maasfled. The .hospital was staffed by the British, who were hampered in their work by Ger man shortages of gauze and drugs. Roused at 0 A.M. Williams said the German guards, all ot whom either were old men, or young wounded sol diers, came through the wards at 6 a. m. shouting in high gut tural pidgin English for the prisoners to get up. After awakening, the prison ers followed the British habit of making tea. Those who could walk brought tea to those who couldn't. After tea they washed and shaved. -v The prisoners, he said, were allowed to walk freely around the hospital or go into the e ercise yard below the hospital which is a limestone building formerly used as an agricultural school. 1 The yard, Williams said, was enclosed by a barbed wire bar ricade. Six feet inside was a trip wire with signs warning the prisoners they were liable to he shot if they got nearer the bar ricade. Guards checked the prisoners four times a day and frequently during the night to prevent escape.
