COLLEGE STATION.—Lately the
government has rceognized the value
of baking pans, ice picks, flour
sieves, carpet sweepers and other
household items, and civilians soon
should be able to obtain a few of
these tools from their dealers. Pro-
duction of these items, plus jar
wrenches, metal pot scourers, and
workers’ lunch boxes previously had
been stopped.
There are a few other items for
which additional metal is being made
available. These include meat grind-
ers, can openers, and vacuum bot-
tles, says Louise Bryant, specialist in
home management for the A. and M.
College Extension Service. The big-
gest increase will be in war workers’
lunch pails.
Replacement cord sets for electric
irons now are to be produced in
small quantity. The cords will be
only six feet long and they will be
made so they can be taken apart and
repaired easily.
Dairy farmers can expect con-
tinued rationing of milk cans during
1944, Miss Bryant says. State quotas
are to be based upon gross sales in
each state during 1941 and 1942.
A new wrinkle in the manufacture
and sale of kitchen cutlery, scissors
and shears also has been announced.
Miss Bryant says there will be no
more boxed sets. The consumer will
buy only the piece or pieces he real-
ly needs. Only two types of scissors
and shears will be manufactured, but
they will fill a real need, according
to the specialist.
Urging rural homemakers to care
for the household equipment they al-
ready have, Miss Bryant emphasized

of Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Other important crops include dry
edible beans, 52,000 one-hundred-
pound sacks; oats, 15,694 bushels;
and barley, 3,682,000 bushels.
The acreage of soybeans for beans
is placed at 52,000 acres according to
July 1 crop conditions, while the
peanut crop from the same report
approximates 1,114,000 acres.
Aggregate crop production for the
nation will be about six per cent
lower than last year but five per cent
higher than in any previous year.
“Although crop production is down
slightly, animal products will bring
the total food production up above
last year’s all-time record,” Vance
said.

NEW YORK.—German war pris-
oners in United States camps are
reading facts about the Nazi Party,
Hitler, and the democracies for the
first time in a German-language
newspaper, Rudolf Katz, editor
the publication, disclosed today.
The paper, the Neue Volks-Zeitung,
a 60-year-old weekly published in
New York, was approved as prison
camp literature by the War Depart-
ment this month, and over 1,000 is-
sues have been distributed weekly to
about 30 camps, Mr. Katz said. The
newspaper, he added, was not cen-
sored for the prisoners.
Letters received from prisoner-
readers showed, the editor said, that
stories about the U-boat setbacks and
the Italian situation aroused their
keenest interest. The prisoners may
read the paper in their libraries, pur-
chase it at the canteen, or "personally
subscribe.
“This gives Nazi • prisoners their
first opportunity in a decade to read
about democracy and the world sit-
uation unbiased by hatred and prop-
aganda,” said Mr. Katz, a naturalized
American who escaped from the Nazi
Gestapo and Germany in 1933. A
STATE ISLAND, N. Y.—The sol-
dier who comes home from the war
without any wounds to show his
family and the neighbors will have a
harder time adjusting himself to
civilian life than his wounded or
maimed buddy, Dr. W. H. McCul-
lagh, head of the psychiatric depart-
ment of Halloran Hospital, said to-
day.
Halloran, one of the Army’s new-
est and largest general hospitals, re-
ceives more than 68 per cent of its
patients directly from the combat
areas. Between 20 and 30 per cent of
the patients are mentally wounded,
Dr. McCullagh asid.
Same as in 1918
McCullagh, who has been a prac-
ticing psychiatrist for the past 25
years, said he thought the proportion
of mental cases in this war was
about the same as in the first World
War.
' “The returned soldier who
nothing to show for his battles
his shattered nerves when he comes
back to his home town,” Dr. Mc-
Cullagh said, “will need something
stiffer than sympathy to get him
started in a useful civilian life.”
The wounded or maimed soldier,
he pointed out, can enjoy the solici-
tude of family and friends and en-
large endlessly on the exploits which
resulted in his wounds He makes a
comparatively easy adjustment to
civilian life by rolling into it on a
wave of interest and acclaim.
On the other hand, the psychiatric
patient, Dr. McCullagh said, although
he has fought as hard and as valiant-
ly, and has been wounded as severe-
ly as his buddy, can’t brag about his
mental and nervous injuries.
Treatment About Same
Symptoms and treatment of men-
tal casualties in this war are about
the same as they were in World War
I, the doctor said.
“We call it war neurosis now,” he
said, “and we used to call it shell-
shock. We don’t attribute so many of
the symptoms to the physical force
of the shell explosion as we formerly
did. Treatment now is more inten-
sive than it used to be.
“I believe we will find that re-
habilitation will be higher afte/ this
war than after the first world wqr.”
former member of the German
cial Democratic Party, Mr. Katz was
president of the City Council of At-
tonia when he fled his country.
In a special article directed to the
prisoners in the first issue to reach
the camps, the editorail staff ex-
plained the paper was not published
especially for them.
“You will find, on the other hand,
that we are seriously concerned to
give you a straight account of things
that have happened during the past
10 years,” continued the author of
the editorial, Gerhart H. Seger, for-
mer Social Democrat member of the
Reichstag who spent nine monts in a
German concentration camp.
“In our pages you will find not
only articles and news about Ger-
many and Europe but also material
about the U. S.—just as you would
in any other American paper,”
editorial said. “Many of these
tides will astonish you for they will
be critical of our country and of our
Goverpment. But in this you will
find precisely the mark of difference
between a democracy and a dictator-
ship.”
