J . THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Three Ladies Who Are ‘Standing’ for Congress Washington, D. C. NAZI MASS EXECimONS Underground observers coming out at Germany have reported that the Nazis already have begun the systematic elimination of the vast army of slave labor imported from Russia, France, Czechoslovakia and various occupied countries. Details of the story are so ghastly that they hardly can be believed. Yet the accuracy of the observers has stood up in the past; also the wholesale slaughter methods of the Germans at Lublin Is already a mat ter of official record. It is estimated that the imported slave labor inside Germany totals about 10,000,000. Either because Hitler fears their sabotage and re bellion, or else because they are a drain on Germany’s food resources, machinery has been devised to kill them off. The number killed so far is estimated at around 1,500.000, though this is a very rough esti mate. Absolutely definite, however, is the fact that mass execution de pots, such as that at Lublin, already are set up in various parts of Ger many. These have been witnessed.* Season for the cold-blooded system of mass executions is ex plained as follows by nnder- gronnd observers who have come out of Germany: Original ly, storm troopers were given a list of 15 to 20 persons and told to shoot them with tbelr re volvers in tbe night. Sometimes this included whole families with children. So not even the 8. S. men could take it. They suffered nervous collapses, had to be sent to sanltoriums. As a result, the mass execu tion system was worked out at Lublin, and now at other places. It takes only a few men to handle the lethal chambers, and enough personnel can be found to perform the gruesome work without becoming insane. • * • LOST BATTALIONS Of all soldiers in the U. S. army j the most distressed over the war de I partment's demobilization plan are the men over 35 years of age. They get no extra retirement points be cause of age. In fact, some of them, because of bad health and Inability to get overseas, may be among the last to leave the army following V day. Stranded in camps throughout the U. S. A, they have become the "Army’s Lost Battalions." Many were snapped up by selective serv ice in the early days of the war despite deafness, blindness in one eye and shortage of fingers—all at a time when the army was in a rush to get almost anyone. Now many of these men are doing semi- menial tasks. At Fort Meyer, Va„ one group is daily assigned to grave digging at the National Cemetery. Others count socks and shirts for the quarter master corps, are now becoming psychological problems for the army. Some found that infirmities when they entered have become ag gravated since, but will never be recognized as having received dis abilities in service. The war deparunent points out that "theoretically" men over 38 had an opportunity to leave the army more than a year ago, if they had Job opportunities in war indnstries. But the war de partment also admits that it had to stop somewhere, and that since the WAC recruiting pro gram failed, it Is now neces sary to retain the 35-year-olds to make up for the scarcity of WACs. • • • ARKANSAS FARMER IN LONDON What most impressed alert young Congressman Brooks Hays of Arkansas during his London trip was the farm miracle the British have performed during the war. Hays was Arkansas head of the Farm Security administration before com ing to congress, so traveled widely in rural England, was amazed by the economy of land use. "Here’s an island about one-third as large as the state of Texas," Hays said, "but with 50,000,000 people. And it is growing two-thirds of all its food. "The British won’t keep on grow ing so much food after the war," Hays says, “but what they’re doing with their land right now is miracu lous. And they like it, even though most of them never worked in the fields before. I didn't talk to a single one who wasn’t tickled that we had sent them less food and plenty of fertilizer and farm machinery. They’re really proud of what they were able to do and glad they haven’t had to eat nothing but hand outs from this country." • • • CARTEL MYSTERY STORY Last month, FDR wrote a letter to Secretary of State Hull, told him: "Keep your eyes on this whole sub ject of international cartels. . . .” Now Wendell Berge, assistant at torney general in charge of trust- busting, has written quite a detec tive story of his own. It is a book en titled: "Cartels Challenge to a Free World." If you want to understand some of the major traps into which the coming peace may find itself en snared. it’s worth reading. Glamour is being added to the races for seats in congress by (left) Mrs. Emily Taft Douglas, daughter of Lorado Taft, sculptor, and wife of Marine Maj.

But it happened in America, 1844. . . . Nonsensorship acts as if it were a candidate for the booby hatch. Frixample: NBCensors nixed a March of Time dramatization of M. Halsey’s tome, “Some of My Best Friends Are Sol diers." The book’s theme blasts in tolerance. . . . The censor claimed the dramatization violated censor ship policies (his own?), especially on the controversial subject angle, and was quoted: “You can say noth ing about intolerance!” . . . That remark must make the Constitution shiver. The Bill of Rights has been stabbed with censorial scissors. . . . You can’t say anything about in tolerance in Germany. Opposing in tolerance would only lead to a con troversy with Hitler and his swasti- skunks here. Does the censor fear offending them? . . . Our soldiers are shedding their blood while fight ing intolerance—but an American can’t oppose it with words. ... It seems a censor in America desires to erect a concentration camp with a foundation of blue-pencils. Could anything be more arrogant and dan gerous? Wendell Winkle wrote these words a few years ago. They should be memorised by every American: “My creed, if I were asked to define it, would run something like this: 1 believe in America because In It we are free—free to choose our govern ment, to speak our minds, to ob serve our different religions. . . . Because we are generous with oar freedom — we share our rights with those who disagree with us. . . . Because we bate no people and covet no man’s land. . . Because we are blessed with a natural and va ried abundance. . . . Because we set no limit to a man’s achieve ment; in mine, factory, field, or service in business or the arts, an able man, regardless of class or creed, can realise his ambi tion. . . . Because we have great dreams—and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.’’ In Fewer Words: It was easy for Willkie's enemies to hurt his heart— it was such a big target. . . . When we heard that Willkie passed away in his sleep it recalled the tribute that was once paid to another famed American: “Death had to take him in his sleep—it didn’t have the cour age to approach hm while he was looking.” Bravely little Peter Grotake faces the camera holding his pride, a sleek sailing boat which he races on Central Park’s boat pond. New York city. Peter hopes to be a real sailor whep he grows up. A short time ago this reporter made public evidence revealing the coddling of Axis war prisoners here. Our exposes were confirmed by many newspapers and magazines. . . . Now the House Military Af fairs Committee announces that Axis war prisoners have not been cod dled. . . . Eeeeekkkk! A Federal Grand Jury’s report on Pbilly’s recent hate strike reveals that 1776 bigots refused to work with eight Negro workers. ... In short: The 1776 Americans—didn’t have its spirit. Lovely Paulette Goddard told an Interviewer: "You can always make money, and if you can’t, it doesn’t make any difference." . . . Paulette means it doesn’t make any differ ence if you're rich. Faces About Town: Donald Nel son, whose latest and best offer to return to private industry is $200,000. . . . Henry Kaiser building postwar world on a tablecloth at Henri's. . . . Myrna Loy stealing the show at the Stork. . . . Mrs. Roosevelt entering the enemy’s battlelines (the News Bldg), where her syndicate is. Manhattan Mural: He is a well- known star from Hollywood, recently here on an alcoholiday. . . . After a long day and night of making the joynts some pals defied the 4 a. m. curfew and took him to a speakeasy which never closes. . . . The pals introduced the star as "a police offl- ciaL” ... On the way out the pro prietor vigorously shook hands with the very drunk actor—and slipped $20 into his paw! Sounds in the Night: At the Zanzi bar: "He’s the fair-haired boy of the foul-ball set.” ... At Versailles: "Her definition of a bachelor is a selfish, undeserving guy who has cheated some woman out of a di vorce.” ... At the Onyx: “Hmf. They argue about what kind of a peace to give Germany, which has given the world no peace!" Midtown Vignette: He had just been hired as new headwaiter at Reuben’s. To show Arnold, the boss, that he was on the hustle, he sug gested: "You should get different waiters. These men haven't much energy.” . . . Reuben gave him the fishy eye and then said: "These men have been with me for 20 years. They know they can stay here as long as they live." . . . "Okay," said the newcomer, "that’s your re sponsibility. But don't forget I tried to help.” . . . Three weeks later he died from a stroke.
