Coddling Prisoners
Although many of the stories now
in circulation are false, it seems
to be true thai we are- treating
O captured Germans
with a gentle
consideration lhal is in marked con-
Irasl with the way the Nazis have
treated many of our men.
In a scries of news-column arti-
cles from NEA Service it would
appear that they arc particularly
("ii wcl contented; and the special silu-
' ation thai controls volunteers in
Italian Service Units was explained.
Provost Marshal. Gencr.al Lcrch
offers three arguments in justifi-
calion of Ihc cxccllcnl care we
give lo Ihcse prisoners:
<*i
First, he says that Internationa
" Red Cross agents report that, up to
the time Ihc Reich began falling
apart under General Eisenhower s
blows, the N,azis were living up lo
their Geneva Convention obligations
_ _
toward Americans and Britishers, ing.
-. however cruelly they Ircalcd other
1 -' nationalities.
Second, he says that word of our
kindness toward prisoners, reaching
German troops, caused them to sur-
render more readily and thus s.aved
Allied lives.
And finally;, he, points..:qut that
('"'Ihc Geneva Convenlion is the su-
'
prcmc law of the land, and unlil
il is amended he is duty-bound to
administer it unwaveringly.
There seems to be very strong
evidence thai Ihe Nazis, in many
instances at le.ast, were nol living
up to their Convenlion commit-
' mcnls even before we crossed Ihe
Rhine—lhat, in many cases, our
men were nol gelling cilhcr Ihe
food or Irealmcnl
that Gct^ral
Lcrch was told they were getting.
On the olhcr hand, there is evi-
dence that, up to recently at least,
" we could have been considerably
more slricl wilh oul prisoncrs-of-
war without offending the Geneva
Convenlion and slill have made cap-
tivity more attractive than belli-
gerency lo any German bul a rabid
party-man.
But while American prisoners in
'--•' Germany did nol gel full benefit
of Geneva Convention rights, it
seems that they really were fed
better, trcalcd belter, in general,
than any prisoners except perhaps
Britons. There is evidence thai out
surrender propaganda did nol fal
on more willing cars because we
were, perhaps, over-kind lo pris
oners, and thereby more of oui
sons, husbands, brothers, friends
will come home.

Australians
By RICHARD G. HARRIS
Manila, May 1 — (UP)— An Al-
lied invasion of
Borneo,
Japan's
biggest and richest island conquest
n the Pacific, was announced by
Australian government officials in
Canberra today.
A Canberra dispatch relayed to
the United Press in Manila said
Australian Treasurer J. B. Chifley
announced the invasion of Borneo
to the commonwealth legislature to
day.
Chifley said
Australian troops
participated in the landing, indicat
ing that American invasion forces
also were involved.
There was no immediate confir-
mation at Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur's headquarters, but an earlier
Tokyo broadcast said Allied troops
were pouring ashore on the cast
coast of the immensely-rich oil and
rubber producing island
in the
Dutch East Indies.
The Japanese broadcast said the
troops went ashore last night un
der cover of a naval
bombard-
ment in the Tarakan
area,
175
miles southwest of American bases
at the southern end of the Sulu
'archipelago.
. The Tarakan area is one of the
largest oil centers in the East In-
.dies. Tarakan itself, however, is a
.comparatively small island in the
Celebes sea several miles off the
east coast of Borneo.
Tokyo said the invasion forces
landed late at night and were en-
gaged in "fierce combat" by the
Japanese garrison.
Although the
reported invasion site
was
not
given, it presumably was in the
wide delta area on
the eastern
shore opposite Tarakan.
A previous landing attempt was
made at noon yesterday, the broad-
cast said, but was repulsed.

They Still Like Hiflef
' Anger Is Roused to
Boiling Point by llth Hour
Atrocities of the Germons
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
' Associated Press War Analyst
German atrocities — and more
German atrocities!'
'"Every hour adds to the record of
$fazi infamy as that unholy ism
sinks in defeat.'Small wonder then
tllftt much of my reader mail has
to do with Hitlerite savagery, which
has Sent Allied tempers over the
tjbiimg1 point, and 'among the letters
is one from ah editor on a southern
newspaper, who writes:
"Jjuimg my long service I have
never read of anything to compare
with the inhuman things being done
to the poor victims that have fallen
into these bastards' hands. It might
be ap Un-Christian way to look at
h, but I believe one of the
most
just punishments for the
German
race would be to sterilize
every
male and female left so there would
be no more Germans to rise up in
twenty-five or thirty years to start
tuiolher World War."
Another editor proposes that
a
large 'riumber of substantial
citi-
zens of Germany, with their fami-
lies, be Uprooted and be distributed
around the world in countries need-
ing immigrants. He would substi-
tute for them in Germany an equal
number of citizens of other coun-
tries who would be given sufficient
economic assistance to make the
transfer attractive.
This second editor
makes
the
• pcunt that the Germans are danger-
ous when massed because they are
susceptible to regimentation. When
they 'emigrate htey become usful
citizens. He also believes that the
introduction of foreign blood
into
the Reich would have a beneficial
effept on the race.
These drastic suggestions likely
.will evoke sympathetic Xihderstand-
' ing.: in the average mind, for one
hears, widespread expression of the
Wish, that in some way Germany
might be rendered impotent to do
further harm. However, the cqnsen-
sqs of the Allied chiefs seems to be
that the only feasible way to re-
form ,the Beich is by a process of
intensive education.
Of course, such a program pre-
sents mountainous problems, and
another editor —this time from the
Middle West — writes to ask:
"Now assuming that every Ger-
man with enough intelligence
or
courage to oppose Hitler has long
since been liquidated, is st not fail-
to assume that the vast majority
Of Germans left under the fuehrer
are too completely debased to ac-
cept Allied tutelage? Is it ever pos-
sible to educate anyone at the point
of a bayonet?"
Well, . we can say at once that
you can't do a successful job of ref-
pn at the point of a bayonet.
gaiy, too, it 'will require the
est possible skill to make any
educational program succeed, even
if the big stick is kept discreetly
out of sight.
!
However, it strikes me that in
this idea of education lies our only
, hope. I believe we can make
it
work if we go at it the right way.
. As remarked in this column
the
other day. Hitler has taught
the

achieved this in the case of
th,e children and youth by taking
oyer their education altogether. He
largely eliminated

ganism for religion and thus creat-
ed a rnentaljty that accepted the
aggression and atrocities which he
perpetrated.
Destruction
of
re-
ligious beliefs in the young
mind
gave him his greatest strength.

Moscow's first ;\iay Day military
parade of the war broutt again
to the capital the pomp and pan-
oply of the holiday in peace time.
The celebration was tensed to the
verge of exultation by word from
Berlin that the Red Banner flutter-
ed over the Reichstag and final
victory w.as at hand.
Marshal Stalin
reviewed
the
parade. He stood practically mo-
tionless for two hours, his fingers
touching the visor of his cap, as
Red Army men and steel stream-
ed across Red Square and hun-
dreds of planes zoomed overhead
in perfect formation.
Stalin appeared in the square at
9:50.
He ran briskly up the steps
of Lenin's mausoleum,
followed
by ranking government and mili-
tary officials. He wore a marshal's
uniform.
Exactly at 10 o'clock,
General
Aiexei Antonov, army
chief
of
staff, mounted a copper - colored
horse and galloped
across

My
father was counting
on the summer trade to
gel us
out
of the red. He decided lo
specialize in sea food, serving a
re.al Shore Dinner every Sunday.
Lobsters were
abunclanl in our
bay.
Cod sold for three cents a
pound and
haddock four.
You
could buy clams, already shucked,
for
15 cents a quart. It looked
like a good thing.
Late in May he set Boshy to
work building lobslcr traps
and
buoys. He himself wrote out no-
tices and arranged for them to be
posted in all towns within a radius
of 20 miles.

The first car made its appear- j
ance
just
before 1 o'clock — a
red Maxwell runabout with snin-
ng black cushions.
It had two
passengers, Ihe driver and a wom-
an
whose face and head were
swathed in a bright green viel.
(Green was easy on the eyes, so
people said).
Benjamin
helped
Ihe woman out, and Julia led her
at once into the parlor.
The drivcd had no sooner taken
off his goggles and his wind cuffs
than five or six loafers gathered
around.
Another

someone
called out.
•We listened. Sure enough. Soon
II appeared, a black, Iwo-scalcd
Packard
wilh enormous
hcad-
lighls of polished brass.
One of ils passengers rose and
stepped oul on the running board
lo give il balance while il made
Ihc curve. Then it pulled tip be-
hind
Ihc Maxwell. Five men,
wearing dusters, leaped oul in a
light, springy way,
though Ihcy
were
midle-afted
and heavy.
They shook hands with my father
and Ihe driver of Ihe Maxwell.
'Some road."
'Yes, siree."
'How are your brakes doing?"
'Fine. How arc yours?"
'Jim

The speaker
slroked his c.ar affeclionalely.

She w.as going' them. Looking up we saw an au-
to wait on table, and il had gone
to her head completely. "Do this,"

had to help in the kitchen. Mrs.

A tiny line of steam
was
appearing from below ils
body.
"It's a White Steamer," one o!
Ihe rncn called oul. "A limousine.'
Julia poked me. "Look al the
ladies," she hissed.
There were three of them
in
the back seal,
cal slriped silk
wearing idcnli
coals. But lha
wasn'l all.
They wore hoods anc
masks over iheir faces, and Ihe
masks were filled with isinglass.
The White drew up behind the
Packard. It w.as the firsl lime
hree automobiles had even been
incd up
together In our village.
Vc were so impressed that for an
nstant' no one spoke. Then my
'athor said,
"Good day," as be-
!itted the
occasion, and himself
stepped forward to assist the la-
dies.
Julia and I togelher led Ihem
.o the parlor.
We went slowly,
for Ihey slumbled aboul a good
deal on Ihe slairs. nol being able
.0 sec well indoors. Once there,
we hung around waiting
to dis-
cover
what was behind
those
ghoulish masks.
It was quite
surprise
to sec three normal
taccs. The lady who had come
in Ihe Maxwell, was lying down
on Ihe settee,
resling from her
journey.
Driving
was exhilaral-
ing,
bul it was hard on the back,
they all agreed.
When the dinner bell rang, Ihey
hurried downslairs
to join the
men. Then they all crowded into
the dining room.
At 4
Sue <;amc down to the
kitchen to toll us
what was go-
ing on.
One guesl, she said,
was dozing on Ihe sellee in Ihe
parlor. Some of Ihe olhers were
rocking on Ihe piazza, not saying
much.
My falher had laken Ihc
driver of the Packard up t* his
office for treatment.
The riarty
in
Ihc White were jusl about
leaving. They had lakcn

of doughnuls lo eal on Ihe way.
They would come back next Sun-
day, they promised.
When everyone had gone, Julia

Appeal Lost,
Polygamists
Go to Prison
Salt Lake City, April 28 — (IP) —
Donning of prison garb soon is the
jrospccl today for 15 "fundamenla-
ists" admittedly at the "end ''of
he legal roads" in efforts to escape
convictions involving plural mar-
•iage.
"I don't know of any further ac-
ion we can take," said Defense At-
orney Claude T. Barnes.
The 15 Salt Lake City men —fa-
thers of 287 children — were con-
victed of unlawful cohabitation, ac-
cused of living with 55 women not
.heir legal wives.
Sentenced to terms not more than
'ive years, they will be the first to
go to prison among 40
arrested
more than a year ago in a federal-
state investigation of plural mar-
Appeals to higher courts
have
kept others free under bond.
All are members of the "funda-
mentalist" cult which profess be-
lief in plural marriage as a reli-
gious principle. They contend they
arc following early clay doctrine of
the Latter-Day Saints (Mormon)
Church which outlawed polygamy
in 1890 and has aided in the cur-
rent prosecution.
Barnes sought unsuccessfully a
United Stales Supreme Court re-
view of the unlawful cohabitation
conviction. The high court refused
early this month and disclosed yes-
terday it had turned down a peti-
tion for reconsideration.
Court attaches said the men prob-
ably would be imprisoned within a
month.

Lt. McDougald
Describes
Okinawa
Lt. Bill McDougald, recently gi-
ven a battlefield commission in
the Philippines, took part in lnc
initial assault on Okinawa, going
in with General
Bradley's' am-
phibious 96th Division, according
to a letter to the family. Lt. Me*
Dougald, son of Mr. and Mrs.
W.
L. McDougald, formerly of
Blevins but now of Prescott, was
reared in Ihe Blevins cofnmuhity.
He married the former Emm.a
Gene Barnes, and they have a
small son, living at Prescott with
his mother and her familyi •'
Lt. McDouglad gave this'descrip-
tion of Okinawa in a letter to his
sisters, Mrs.
Walter
NaDe,au of
Prescotl and Mrs. Joe Loveless of
Arlington, Va.:
"The
Island is simply; grand.
The climate is cool and dry so far.
In fact, it's a little too cool at
night; but I love it compared with
Leyle. It reminds me more of .Cal-
ifornia than any place I've been.
It has beautiful rolling hills that
are lined with small' .stone and
choice-wood huts. The hog pens are
made of stone with nice hogs of
our type.
,
"The chickens, cows, horses, arid
all the animals are very similar
to our live stock. The gardens are
filled with all kinds of vegetables,
onions, potatoes
(sweet) carrots,
radishes, etc. I'm really cleaning
up on them, too. Ha.
"The field crops consist of sugar
cane, wheat, oats, beans and many
other crops well known to us. It's
the most
interesting
Island I've
run across. The people seem to be
fairly prosperous and educated in
their way of living. In one- home
there was a nice, big picture of
George
.Washington
and one of
Christ. The same home was more
American like than any of them—-
even American beer.
"Well, girls my time is limited
so will have to run along for now.
I'll keep you posted on the place
as much as possible. I think .I'll
like it fine. Ha. Anyway, it's an
improvement over the P.I. Maybe
Tokyo will be an improvement over
this place. Ha. Well, so long 'till
next time."
"My dear." said a nice old lady
to her granddaughter, "I wish you
would so something for me. I wish
you would promise me never to
use two words. One is swell and
the other is lousy. Would you pro-
mise me that?"
"Why sure, Granny," said the
girl. "What are the words. •
. . with an easy conscience!

Aboard a Coast-Manned Assault
Transport, Okinawa (Special) —
"When the Jap planes started the
big show this afternoon
we all
felt like we were the hub of a
fiery
Pinwheel,
said
Coast
Guardsman Marion Ray Turner,
MMlc, of 719 West Division St.
as he recalled some of the anx-
ious hours he has spent off the
beaches at Okinawa.
Turner, and his crewmates have
been
in action against the
Jap
defenders of Okinawa ever since
the
first assault waves
went
ashore.
Targets for hit and run Japa-
nese
bombing and strafing at-
tacks, the Coast Guardsmen have ,
stopped their duties of getting sup- j
plies ashore only long enough to
fight off the fanatical enemy al
tacks. Sleep has been oul of the
question.
The most determined Japanese
attack took place this afternoon
when low flying aircraft tried to
sneak through
the
anti-aircraft
screen of the mighty invasion for-
ce. This transport became the cen-
ter of fire. American tracer and
Jap machine gun bullels filled the
air.
Tracer fire smashed into an
ammunition dump inland and caus-
ed an is'.und shaking explosion.
Meanwhile
the
gun crew stood
ready
waiting
tensely for the
planes lo come within their range.
Fire from the other ships in Ihe
armada downed Ihe enemy before
our gunners could open up. By
nightfall, the attack had been beat-
en off. Eight planes had been shot
down within sight of Ihis ship.
The crew went back to its job
of unloading and waiting for the
next attack.
Most of the members
of the
crew are veterans of the invas-
ion of Southern France and eight
months of European duty.

A few years ago Miss Davis
filled
Ihc
part in "The Litlle
Foxes" which had won Tallulah
Bankhead great acclaim. Now she
atlcmpls a role which was a high
mark in the great career of Ethel
Barrymore.
There is not much sense in com-
paring the two performances. Both
arc very highly stylized interpreta-
tions. Both actresses used the tech-
niques which have placed them a
the top.
Miss Barrymore gave the
role
Ihe
bcnefil
of her
magnificent
voice, her offhand manner of de-
livering lines. Miss Davis uses her
clipped intonation, her method of
wheeling around to make
a
re-
mark. Miss Barrymorc's perform-
ance may have been a shade more
convincing because she was closer
to the age of the character, Miss
Moffat.

A gri/xly bear rarely attacks a

The bridegroom looked
like
a
caricature of a Japanese
officer.
Short and stocky with a great horn-
rimmed spectacles and
a smile
which showed gold teelh, he was
Irimly pressed in a freshly pressed
Japanese officers'
uniform,
his
bandy legs encased in a pair of GI
field bools.
The bride joined the Japanese as
an army nurse after Yank soldiers
and Marines invaded the island.
The outdoor ceremony was per-
formed under a Shinto shrine by
Lt. Col. Reuben E. Curtis, of Salt
Lake City, assistant corps chap-
lain. The best man was a Honolulu
Japanese who also acled as inter-
preter. The bride was atlended
by Doris Ishikara, a Japanese and
Loyal American of Maui, Hawaii,
wlio was visiling her sick sisler
here when caugnl by war.
The vows were parlly civil, parl-
ly Christian, although both parties
are Budhists, Curtis said.
After being pronounced man and
wife the couple bowed deeply from
the waist. They then were escort-
ed back to the tent where
they
had been living since their cap-
ture. The honeymoon will be sup-
ervised by MP's.
Dual wedding certificates in Jap
anese and English were present'
ed to the couple. Someone had dug
up a wedding ring but the best
man mislaid it, even as sometimes
happens in America.

The bridegroom looked
like
a
caricature of a Japanese
officer.
Short and stocky with a great horn-
rimmed spectacles and
a smile
which showed gold teelh, he was
Irimly pressed in a freshly pressed
Japanese officers'
uniform,
his
bandy legs encased in a pair of GI
field bools.
The bride joined the Japanese as
an army nurse after Yank soldiers
and Marines invaded the island.
The outdoor ceremony was per-
formed under a Shinto shrine by
Lt. Col. Reuben E. Curtis, of Salt
Lake City, assistant corps chap-
lain. The best man was a Honolulu
Japanese who also acled as inter-
preter. The bride was atlended
by Doris Ishikara, a Japanese and
Loyal American of Maui, Hawaii,
wlio was visiling her sick sisler
here when caugnl by war.
The vows were parlly civil, parl-
ly Christian, although both parties
are Budhists, Curtis said.
After being pronounced man and
wife the couple bowed deeply from
the waist. They then were escort-
ed back to the tent where
they
had been living since their cap-
ture. The honeymoon will be sup-
ervised by MP's.
Dual wedding certificates in Jap
anese and English were present'
ed to the couple. Someone had dug
up a wedding ring but the best
man mislaid it, even as sometimes
happens in America.

yesterday
nnd by launching a new offensive
northward from this summer capi-
tal.
Contrary to Tokyo broadcasts, no
J a p a n e s e
counterattack w a s
launched and the flags went up in
an unmolested ceremony
Meanwhile, the 120lh' Regiment
and the 148th — both of Maj. Gen.

Division — reached the outskirts ot
Irinidad. six
mountainous
miles
northward. Tho 130th Regiment --
part of Mai. Gen. Percy W. Clark-
son s 33rd Division — captured clc-
valrons which
provided
artillery
cover.
The doughboys scaled peaks as
high as 5,500 feet during this
ac-
tion and fought a succession
of
sharp engagements with Japanese
rear guards trying lo protect this
withdrawal route to the
Cagayan
valley.
Other
elements
of
the
130th
swinging southward along the Kcn-
noii road, engaged Japanese three
miles south of Baguio.
Gunfire echoes rolled through Ihe
mountain plateau as Maj. Gen. In-
nis P. Swift, commander
of
the
First Corps,
Bcightlcr,

commanders
hoisted the colors over the

was
hoisted aloft.
The Philippine flag followed and
then bolh were lowered to half staff
