Douglas MacArthur made their landing. among UMW membership to de termine whether they want to strike in event a .satisfactory wage settlement is not reached. The UMW demands will not be made public before they are presented to the operators. But they are known to cover wages, working conditions, mine safety, veterans rights and anticipated postwar problems.

The formula prohibits general wage increases of more than 15 per cent above the January 1941 level.

Fowler United Press Correspondent Washington, Ga., Feb. .28 (U.R) Lt. Frank Colley was home today. Behind were two years of filth and hunger in a German prison camp. Before him was a good meal and a long rest. Those, he, said, were the most important things in the world for the present moment. "I'd like to tell everyone who has relatives or friends who are prisoners to send them food, more food and still more food," he said. "Those Americans are hun gry." . Captured In Tunisia Lt. Colley was captured in Tunisia on Feb. 17, 1943, after three days of bitter fighting at raid Pass. Exactly two years later he arrived in Moscow, en route home after the Red army overran the camp in Poland where he was held prisoner. "Almost all the boys get along. They exist. But in two years there was never a day I wasn't hungry. I was always cold. Time was like a huge weight on my shoulders. "They fed us all right. You got ersatz coffee for breakfast, without sugar or milk, boiled cauliflower leaves for lunch and a sort of spaghetti stew for din ner that's all. You had no cooks, and they tossed' the food in so you fixed it any way you could. Americans Ingeniui "You set up a mess. The American is an ingenius guy and out of cans and wire he im provises stoves and cooking fa cilities. The Germans didn't help In our camp and didn't give us anything to work with. "Once a guy is tuned down to the fact that he Is a prisoner, he sobers up and plods along from day to day. 'At first the Germans wouldn't let us have a church. Then we managed to meet to gether and we were our own chaplains. A guy learns to pray in one of those places. Little Things Hardest "The average American can stand the daily routine. He learns to keep himself busy. Hardest of all are the little things. The guards come in any time of day or night and make you stand for a count. Every day, two or three times a day there Is a formation for count ing. They listen all the time, always around. "Being around the Germans for two years even as a pris oner of war gives a guy a pret ty fair idea of what kind of man the nazi is." "They lie. they steal and they treat other, men like does," he said. , Lt. Colley. 29. looks much older. "There Is no such thing as a pleasant prisoner of war camo. There's too much despondency," ne said. ELECTRONIC SCIENCE today is winning, battles . . . tomorrow it will revolutionize the peacetime world.
