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.

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.

6,000 AMERICANS
ON ISLE OF LUZON
Br Frans Welstblatt
United Press War Correspondent
Manila, Feb. 19 (U.RJ Ap
proximately 6,000 American pri
soners of war died in Japanese
hands on Luzon after the fall of
Bataan.
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.
