EDITOR'S NOTE: Native of
Palestine, Graduate of Texas
university and West Point,
Taylor Henry returned to Tex-
as this week after Internment
in Germany following the
break between Washington and
the Vichy government which
resulted in American corres-
pondents being sent to Ger-
many under armed guard. Hen-
ry will return to Europe after
his Texas visit
here. Seane of them are gone
for the duration:; others
are gone forever. It is a strange
thing perhaps for someone who
has been imprisoned by the
gestapo for more than a year,
but the knowledge that those
friends are gone has really
brought the meaning of the
war home to me.
It has brought the real facts of
the struggle to me more acutely
than even the facts which I was
able to observe inside Germany,
facts which show that we still have
a long, hard struggle ahead of us

Winters Funeral
For Ex-Resident
WINTERS, May 11—(Spb—G. E.
Nicholson, 55, former resident of
Winters, died at 4:30 a. m. today
at Houston following a heart at-
federal seizure of the Chicago prop-
erties. appeared headed today for
further negotiations before final
settlement. —____-___________1
The long-standing labor dis-
pute. after two weeks of swift
developments in the union's
fight to win an extended con-
tract pending a new agreement,
flared anew yesterday in the
wake of apparent victories for
both sides in certain aspects of
the case.
The huge mail order house, un-
der federal control for 13 days,
again operated under the direction
of Board Chairman Sewell L. Avery,
while the CIO union held a victory
in a collective bargaining election.
But statements by chief spokes-
men for the principals indicated
that the company and union were
not in accord on the main issues in-
volved in the new contract.
Avery, reasserting that the com-
pany would not sign a pact embody-
ing a maintenance of membership
clause “or any form of closed shop."
declared that "the fundamental is-
sues must still be determined in
the courts."
Yesterday, after the government
relinquished control of the plant
Tuesday night. Federal Judge Wil-
liam H Holly refused to rule on the
against Ward's officials and the
legality of President Roosevelt’s
order remained undecided,
se e
tack. *
Mr. Nicholson came to Winters in
1926, serving as manager of the
Higginbotham stores. He was ac-
tive in civic and church life and
was at one time deacon of the First
Baptist church here.
Later he moved to San Angelo
where he was associated with the
Brown & Root Construction Co., for
a number of years. He moved to
Houston two years ago. Mr. Nich-
olson's first wife died seven years
ago, and he was married again
four years ago.
Survivors include -his wife, two
daughters, Mrs. W. G Bedford of
Winters and Mrs. Margaret Fagors
of Houston- one son, Graydon Ni-
cholson of Fort Worth; one brother,
the Rev. J. E Nicholson of Meri-
dian. Tex., several sisters and six
grandchildren.
Funeral will be held at the First
Baptist church at 10 a. m. Satur-
day with the Rev. W. T. Hamor,
pastor, officiating Burial will be
in the local cemetery.
Henry Anderson president of the
local CIO union—the United Mail
Order, Warehouse and Retail Em-
ployes-said that refusal of the
company to include the mainte-
nance of membership clause will
mean "the whole thing will be back
in the War Labor board’s lap." The
union has asked the WLB to extend
and enforce the expired contract
pending signing of a new agree-
ment.----------------
Samuel Wolchok, president of the
parent CIO union, said a request
I had been made to company offi-
cials to discuss grievances and a
contract. But, he added, the con-
ferences can not open until the Na-
tional Labor Relations board issues
a certification of the results of the
collective bargaining ballot He said
he expected an early certification.

other than statements made before

missed with or without prejudice.

because living conditions inside
Germany today are still good. They
are good perhaps even better to-
day than they were in 1939 at the
beginning of the war.
They are good because Ger-
many Is living off the rest of
Europe. It Is an essential point
for us to remember that Ger-
many has conquered and still
holds three-fourths of the Eu-
ropean continent.
It will be a hard task to convince
the German people that they are
beaten, that it is no longer possible
for them to continue the fight, so
long as they continue to dominate
such a large proportion of the con-
tinent.
Equally important from the point
of view of morale is the continu-
ing respect which the mass of the
German people feel for Hitler.
Eleven years of insidious Nazi
propaganda has so impregnated
the younger generations that there
la virtually no one in Germany to-
day younger than 26 or 27 years
who can conceive of any other re-
gime for Germany than Hitlerite
Naziism. ..
Secondly it is explained by the
memory of the older generations of
the lean years of the 1930 s. the
years of unemployment, the years
of starvation. They contrast that
pre-Hitler period with that of to-
day and even after four years of
war they draw a comparison favor-
able to Hitler's Germany.
German morale has not been
broken. Only a miracle will
produce an internal German
collapse. The German army to
still a fighting army. We have
got to get it out of nr heads
that we can win the war
through a German Internal
collapse such as came in 1918.

Seek Foster Homes
For Teenage Girls, .
Children in Abilene
Foster homes are needed urgent- 1
ly by the Abilene child welfare
board for placement of “teenage
girls and younger children. Fran-
ette Brockette, director, said Wed-
nesday.
The board pays the actual ex-
pense of the child in the homes to
which they are taken. Length of,
time the child may spend with the
family varies from weeks to years,
depending on the case, the home
having been selected according to
its value to the child.
"The homes we are seeking are
to be a substitute for one the child
is deprived of,'’ Miss Brockette
said, ••—and should not be offered
by a family for the money paid in
expense of the child- but for con- +
tributing to his growth and happi- |
ness.”
Children to be placed are those
taken away from homes by the
court, children of divorced or de-
ceased parents, and others. Olderl
children may be expected to help |
with housework in exchange for
part of their board.

lems is finding homes for children 1
