4 STALIN CHANGES TREAT GERMANS Washington, Feb. 19 U.R The Crimea conference report (hows that Marshal Josef V. Stalin has changed his mind considerably about post-war treatment of Germany. This about-f tee and its causes have raised a dust of dispute among some of President Roose velt's left wing supporters. On Nov. 6, 1942 in an order of the day, Stalin said this: "It is not our aim to destroy all military force In Germany, for every literate person will understand that this fs not only Impossible in regard to Ger many, but it Is also inadvisable from the point of view of the future." Hard Peace Plan " Last week In the Crimea con ference report, Stalin joined with Mr. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill to say this: "We are determined to dis arm and disband all German armed forces: Break up for all time the German general staff; remove and destroy all German military equipment." During the interval between the 1942 order of the day and the 1945 conference report, two Moscow developments caused some uneasiness here. One was the creation in July, 1943, of a national committee of free Ger many. The other was the affilia tion of the Russian-sponsored union of German officers with that committee. Manifesto Issued The free Germany committee Issued a manifesto. It was ad dressed to peasants, craftsmen and workers and "to those forces in the army that are loyal to the country." Industrialists, junk ers? landowners, financiers, col- The Shew DOES go on! N you're going to bit the ball, you've got to relax. Otherwise the old efficiency goes 4-F. The muscles and the mental muscles lose that all-important bounce. So is it, too, with a country. 4 V For that super-vitamin and pepper-upper called relaxation, Americans instinctively turn to the theater. More Americans re lax at the theater than anywhere else. That was true before the war. Now it's more than ever die case. In the theater, relaxation depends on illusion. Illusion re quires perfection. Everything must go smoothly or the whole thing is a bust The show must go on. But the audience must not see, behind the make-believe, the machinery which makes it tick. From the first attempt to find the right actors to getting reservations for the final sleeper-jump, the problems of the legitimate theater are fantastic The movie theaters have big league troubles, too. Yet ail must remain unseen, unheard, unnoticed. Theaters must be kept clean. They must be kept comfortable. Complicated film and sound equipment must be kept ship shape. All this calls for skills and things long hard to find. Yet you can lean back and shuffle off your cares, confident there'll be no flash: "One Moment While the Operator Fixes the Whiffcnpoopus." When Tracy or Colbert or any of the rest put on a great performance "out front," it al ways means another great per formance off stage strictly behind the scenes. That's why millions can relax and do a better war-job. We think it calls for applause. Let's give those theater folks a hand. laborationlsts were excluded from the manifesto Invitation to overthrow Hitler and obtain easier terms from Russia. Meantime, the union of Ger man officers composed of war prisoners and headed by Field Marshal Friederlch von Paulus was broadcasting appeals to the German army to give up. They were based largely upon Stalin's 1942 assurance that Russia did not Intend to destroy all military force In Germany. ,82 TAKEN BY DEATH Henry Brown, a resident of Medford for the past two years, and of the Griffin Creek dis trict for 10 years previously, passed away Sunday at the fam ily home, 821V4 West 10th street.

That estimate is based on care ful records which I kept during the more than three years I spent as a prisoner of war my self in Bilibid prison. The total does not include deaths which may have occurred among the more than 16,000 American prisoners who were taken from the Philippines to Formosa or Japan. Approximately 16,000 were transported from the Philippines but I was unable to obtain any knowledge of them and I do not believe any agency has any de tailed information on them. My records were kept almost from the beginning of my Impri sonment after I was wounded and captured Jan. 7, 1942. I kept them up-to-date as best I could from information ob tained from hundreds of prison ers who passed through Bilibid. At intervals I talked with men from every prison camp in the Philippines. 1 I concealed my records, which contain thousands of names, in a niche in my cell wall and man aged to keep them from being discovered by guards. Obviously I am not permitted now to reveal the names of those who died or who still are prisoners but my information is being turned over to army authorities for whatever use they can make of it.
