' Washington, Dec. 31. U.R) Harold Boeschenstein, chief of the forest products bureau in the. War Production Board, said today that new restrictions on newsprint' use must go into ef fect as scheduled Jan. 1. He said the over-all pulp and paper - situation is "desperate." Military operations require large quantities of paper and this sup ply cannot be furnished by eas ing newsprint restrictions, ne said. "There is no possibility that the graduated scale restrictions on the use of newsprint in the first-quarter, of 1944 can be re laxed or the effective date of the first quarter order postponed," he said. Stale Magazines Not Appropriate For Camp Tables No magazines more than two issues old an wanted for distri bution at Camp White, it was pointed out again today by Red Cross recreation officials. While copies of current magazines are badly needed at the station hos pital, the men are interested only in recent issues, it was em phasized. Workers stated that large numbers of old magazines are being sent to the USO for dis tribution and that these cannot be used. ' Copies of weeklies, such as Life, Time, Colliers, should not be more than two Issues old, and copies of monthlies should not be more than two issues old. The only exception to this are such better type magazines as For tune, Reader's Digest, Esquire and the New Yorker, which Jhe men enjoy, even though they may be a few months old.

Godwin ' (United Press Correspondent) ' Prisoner of War Camp Near Colorado Springs, Colo., (U.R) German prisoners of war at this camp in the lee of big rocky mountain still believe Germany will win, and are impatient of their American captors. ' - The soldier-prisoners reflect their attitude in their camp newspaper, their attitude to ward prison officials and their conversation. This camp, one of the largest in the country, is run on the same pattern r. U.a Italian war prisoner cam; at Scottsbluff, Neb. The camps could be identical except for one factor the inmates. Proud Military Man Two prisoners out of thou sands gave the American saulte as I toured the camp in com pany with several American army officers. All others gave the rigid arm, heel-clicking Nazi salute, or the out-thrown chest battle salute. They were mili tary men and proud of it. They came to formal attention when addressed. . Their country had not lost, and they considered themselves unfortunate only be cause they were prisoners. . The American internment of ficer said more than 20 per cent of his charges were non-com missioned officers.. All the sol- diers were young, sturdy, and well-fed, and appeared to me to be excellent military personnel. Many of them wore individual battle medallions, a sprinkling of ribbons denoting - the iron cross in its various grades, and insignia of particular campaigns. One curly-haired boy,, his face a mass of freckles, had fought in Russia and North Africa, where ne was captured. He shuddered at the mention of Russia: It was too cold there, he said. . . , ' Shun. Bad News The camp mimeograph-newspaper is restricted in circulation to the camp Itself. A German re treat or defeat is never men tioned. One section devoted to excerpts from the American press is headed: "Here's What Other Papers Say." The camp paper insists the American press reports are propaganda to keep up the home front morale. The American officers in charge al low the prisoners to maintain their paper for morale purposes. The prisoners are healthv. Only two were infirmary . pa tients the day I visited the camp. Several dozen prisoners, were piaying soccer and a game called "faust," or "fist" ball. It is much the same as our volley ball same. Five boys awkardly were toss ing a football. - ; The prisoners : represent "a cross-section of their country. There is a school for illiterates, run by German non-c6ms, and a higher school for those who wish to advance their education. A prison library, with' 800 Ger man and 800 English books, pro vided by the International Red Cross and other agencies, is al ways filled. One group was studying for the ministry. Few wanted to learn English. ' .A seven-piece orchestra piano, accordion, two saxo phones, drum, and two violins played familiar German tunes in a canteen compound during my tour. Part of the time a prisoner hanging paper on the canteen wall swished his paste brush in time to the music. The cant en itself was well-stocked and well patronized. BURNS TO DEATH Albany, Ore., Dec. 31.
