Has New Tricks
Sgt. Eads came home with a
few new tricks. These aren't
"learned" by watching and
practicing, according to the
6ergejnt, but have to be "ac
quired" from other magicians in
other fashions He hopes to try
them out on valley audiences
before long.
Sgt. Eads was in Manila when
the r.ews came that the war had
ende. "About 8000 of us were
watching a movie," he said.
"When they stopped the picture
and told us the war was over,
there wasn't a sound for several
seconds and ftnally the an
nouncer had to repeat the
news." The sergeant added
that he battle-weary men took
the news calmly and that
neither civilians or servicemen
in Manila ataged any celebra
tion, as was the case In other
rvnrt of the world.
For the time being. Eads is
just going "to do nothing' but
enjoy being at home and forget
obout the war." He Is a son of
Mrs. Susan Eads, 29 Kenwood
avenue.

EISENHOWER SAYS
NEAR STANDSTILL
Sunday. Sept. 30, 1945 MEDFOHD MAIL-TRIBUNE SEVEN
Washington, Sept. 29 (UK
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has
notified the War department
that 150,000 Nazis were arrested
or removed from office before
Aug. 20 in the American occu
pation zone of Germany, it was
disclosed tonight.
His first report on military
government operations in the
American zone revealed that less
than 10 per cent of the industrial
plants were operating then and
that the German economy had
been brought "almost to a stand
still." j
He said, without elaborating,
that "military control and zonal ;
divisions are obstacles to recov- (
cry of Industry, transportation
and business." !
The report, dated Aug. 20, !
was sent to the War department
before Eisenhower called Gtn.
George S. Patton on the carpet
yesterday for an accounting of
his stewardship in Bavaria. Pat
ton had admitted retaining some
secondary Nazis in office for the
sake of efficiency.
"The Nazi party, its organha.
tlons and agencies have been
abolished," Elsenhower's report :
said. "Discriminatory Nazi liws !
have been abrogated and Nazi
propaganda eliminated." i
He said that about 80.000
Nazis in the "mandatory arrest" i
category had been taken Into
custody and that 35,000 others
in the same classification were
expected to be taken from
among prisoners of war.
