PAPER!!!
' 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.

PRISONED NAZIS
OF AXISVICTORY
Men in Camp Near Colorado
Springs Keep Bad News
Out of Their Newspaper.
By Gaylord P. 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.

WE'VE all got to give this
young champion '44 all the
backing we can . . . help him
win this fight SOOi! Sure, we've
all got the "will to win," but it
takes a lot more than just that. It
takes tanks, planes, guns, bombs.
And it takes the loan of our money ,
to buy 'em. 'Our brothers', sons,
and husbands' lives may depend on
that equipment. It's up to US to
get it to them as much as they
need as quickly as possible so
that Victory will be soon achieved!
To all of our friends throughout
the Rogue River Valley we say:
"Happy and Victorious New
, Year!" and urge you to BUY
BONDS to hasten the peace and
'speed the return of the true Ameri
can Way of Life!
