Every Move by German Border
Patrol Has Potential Importance
! (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

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.

Fact is, I seldom play favorites

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

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

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.

ogists have claimed the best
years for a woman to have child

born of mothers in that age
group are said to develop into
the healthiest and most intelli

Hungarian Relief
Bottleneck Denied
Camp Kilmer, N.J. 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.
