(Editor's Note: This ii the second 1 of two dispatches by a woman mag i zine writer visttmj Germany, de- scribing a night patrol along West I German's borders with East Germany and Czechoslovakia. By JESSYCA RUSSELL GAVER Written for United Press With American Forces. Ger many UP, To the untrained. there is too much tedious detail i .u - itc a unit making a night patrol along West Germany's borders with East Germany and Czechoslo vakia, but it doesn't take long to realize that every little move can have potential importance. At numerous points we stop ped to inspect barriers, places where border refugees might be hiding or to talk to various West German police or civilians who were friendly to U.S. Army people. Once we were stopped on the road by a male civilian. He said nothing, only stared a moment at Lieutenant Odell's insignia. Then he handed over a folded piece of paper and asked in ac cented English that it be sent out. I learned later that the man had passed over some informa tion that first was sent back to headquarters of the Third Arm ored Cavalry Regiment to be transmitted to the necessary channels. It was explained that this is known as "Handicap Black," an early warning system for mes sages of information or to in form of possible border viola tions. An Eerie Feeling Coming to one barrier, we found that someone had pulled down our half; the East German part was intact. One border point gave me a momentary inspiration that was quickly doused for two reasons. This was a place where the East German strip was narrow and, by circling through a woods, one could come out again on a and very delicious way with tan gerines. For each six servings, chill four tangerines, peel, re move white membrane and pull sections apart. Cut off center sec tion membrane with scissors. Cut sections in half and pile on two cups shredded cabbage. Com bine two teaspoons sugar, one half cup mayonnaise and one ta blespoon vinegar and spoon over. When read- to serve, toss lightly. Ham Sauce. For serving with fresh-from-the-oven ham or cold sliced ham, this sauce is excel lent. Blend one-third cup orange marmalade and three tablespoons mustard with horseradish. Just before serving fold in one-half cup heavy cream, whipned. Poultry Reminder. We can't say it too often. Poultry is a per ishable food and should be kept refrigerated both before and aft er cooking. Before-cooking stor ing should be done by wrapping loosely and keeping in coldest part of refrigerator. Cooked poultry should be refrigerated immediately after the meal with stuffing, if any, removed. Re frigerated cooked poultry should be used within three days. For freezing make meal unit pack ages of sliced meat, big chunks andor minced turkey. West German road. I thought it would be quite an adventure to try it, but then I remembered that I had given a signed prom- ise not to do anything to violate border limits. Besides, I was afraid of what just might pos - sibly be lurking in those woods. There was a constant feeling of eeriness. It was cold, the sky ! "as overcast, there was no sound I except the wind whistling through the leafless trees. Yet you knew the unseen eyes were peering at you from only a few varrlc aura' tlias o voc of riPrWIlS iust as anxious to remain un- . Observed as you were. The Czechs were much bolder than the East Germans. They were not averse to showing that they were there with their bunk ers. Flares I went down into one of our bunkers and saw through bin oculars an opposing one about 200 feet away. I felt what it was like to sight along a machine gun nesting there beneath the ground. A red flare shot up and members of our squad went to investigate it. We went on to another border point and looked across a bar rier to a house from which a small clinking noise was heard. It was a shutter being lifted so the occupants could peer out at us from a darkened room. Then more flares, white this time. Lieutenant Odell auto matically reached to pull me down, as we all fell flat to our stomachs, according to previous instructions "in case." Flanking us, the squad men who had been in the background of some trees stepped forward and readied their rifles. No more flares. We got up and actually ran back to the waiting jeeps. Protection Appreciated At a West German restaurant in the middle of our tour, a friendly German policeman join ed us, and I jokingly suggested that perhaps in a few months our troops would be out of there. Paling noticeably, he said: "Your Eisenhower, he would not do that to us, would he? He must protect us, not just from the Communists but from all Russians. We must not be left alone ..." The GI's I talked with in a warm-up shack of an observation post were using the tradition old tin coffee pot on a pot bellied stove and were resigned to feeling that theirs was a war job, not merely practice. They had been part of too many in cidents to think they were play ing games. Later I talked with civilians and found that in this Bavarian area they felt the same as the policeman. Anyone living in Munich or other near-border areas where there are no U.S. troops patrolling admits he lives in fear of being unprotected, that all West Germans wish they had the Army in such areas. Only in cities well beyond the border do you find our military is resented, and usually only TRAFFIC SOLUTION . Chicago U.R) The Chicago Motor club has come up with a solution to the nation's tragic highway fatality problem. The club's recommendation: Don't drivel I by the younger fellows, who j want to be the strong ones in their territories. These have not j known or do not remember j the nearness of fear, its taste and sound and smell, 1 I learned it in one night and I was glad I was in a position to leave it all behind.

TVi uin" " '' hours iinstr, ! n drram deeper, one nipht stronger, j t&Ti7WJ:M'- Owen Meredith What is currently your fa - vorite dance band? My choice is the group of melody makers headed by Lawrence Welk. What a sense of rhythm that group has! Makes every man dancing to it feel like another Fred Astire. The Pacific coast has always been a great place for unusual dance bands. Most unusual of these was Art Hickman's band, or iginally from San Francisco. Also don't forget that Paul Whiteman's band first hit the spotlight at the hotel Alexandria in Los Angeles. Then there was Gus Arnheim. I believe Gus was originally from Chicago but he never attracted much attention until his band was featured in the Cocoanut Grove at the hotel Ambassador in Los Angeles. It was when singing with Arn heim's band that Bing Crosby popularized such great hits as "I Surrender Dear" and "Just One More Chance." Asking Queries from clients. Q. have your world famous horses and women experts ever decided whether women dress to please themselves, or to make other women envious or to attract men? A. The research of our horses and women experts in dicate that women dress to at tract men. If they succeed in so doing to a great extent that makes other women envious. If they attract men and make other women envious they naturally please themselves. I hope I make myself clear. Q. Where is the thoroughfare named "The Street Called Straight"? A. In Damas cus, Syria. Sidelights Women in the Netherlands do not become of age until they are 30. Until the Dutch girls are that age they cannot marry without the consent of their parents. . . The war between Russia and Japan in 1905 was the first war between the white race and any other race that the white race lost. Horses and Women The measurements of the aver age British woman are: Height, j 5 feet 3: weight, 130 bust 36V2; waist, 27; hips, 38'2. So recent statistics reveal. Very interest ing. If the average British female clipped a half an inch off her j bust measurement, there inches off her waist and three and a half from her hips she would j have a nice figure if she was three inches taller and weighed eight pounds less. Favorites What I would like to know 112 South Riverside Friday, December 21, 1J56 WANTS COP SIGN London U.R Detective Al lan Hillis has about decided to wear a sign proclaiming him a cop.

I play the solid horse. Fact is, I seldom play favorites at all. "Edgar, My Lad," said my uncle Al to me one dav at Jamai- ! ca, "Keep in mind that a favor- 1 ite, especially in a claiming race, i is a horse that is probably taper- ing off from." Asides If a woman has large eyes she loves luxury and is not happy without it. If she has small eyes she is inclined to be morose and selfish. Or, so claim the charact er analysis . . . Here is an easy question many people have to hesitate quite a period before answering. See how quickly you can answer it. What two con secutive months each have 31 days? Diet The reason many men are overweight is because their wives have no knowledge of diet. That is also why many married men suffer unnessarily from minor ills. A woman who really loves her husband, will make a study of what is good for him to eat and then see that he eats it. Best "."ears How old was your mother when you were born? Gynecol ogists have claimed the best years for a woman to have child ren is when she is between 18 and 23 years of age. Children born of mothers in that age group are said to develop into the healthiest and most intelli gent adults. That lets me out. my mother was 31 when I was born.

OR) Vice President Richard M. Nixon denied reports Thursday that there is a "bottleneck" in the government's relief program for Hungarian refugees. Nixon, who returned Sunday from a first-hand look at the refugee problem in Austria, in spected the refugee relocation center here and said procedures for handling the influx of Hun garians are "improving every day." The vice pesident expressed confidence the stepped-up pro gram here will soon be able to resettle 500 refugees a day. The fact that "less than two per cent" of refugees arriving in Camp Kilmer remain more than two weeks proves the falsity of reports a "bottleneck" exists, he said. .
