UP
To be Discharged
Already, Manpower Chair-
man Paul V. McNatt testified.
1,600,000 service men have been
seton sed “and, before it is over,
we will have handled more than
15,000,000.”
Hines said “about half” the men
to be discharged after Germany’s.
coUapse will be those with disabil-
Illes. He offered this explanation
when Representative Ludlow (D-
Ind) said "we keep hearing of
sending the soldiers now in Europe
over to the Pacific theater."
The present rate of discharges,
Hines asserted, is running around
90 000 monthly. Approximately 700,-
000 of the 1,600,000 released up to
last November 30, he added, were
discharged under certificates of dis-
ability.
To provide returning veterans
with proper employment serv-
ice. McNutt said, approximate-
ly 600 United States Employ-
ment service full-time and 1.-
450 part-time offices will be
needed. And Hines interjected:
“When demobilization starts,
it will be too late to organise
this service.”
The $2,453,177,125 Deficiency Sup-
ply bill, more than two-thirds of
it for the Navy, was approved today
by the Appropriations committee
In a report transmitting the big
measure to the house floor, the
committee went out of its way to
compliment the .once roundly-criti-
cized Office of Price Administra-
tion for "performing a most diffi-
cult and herculean task in a very
praiseworthy manner.” The com-
mittee offered its comment in ap-
proving an additional 56,235.000 for
the agency, to bring its appropria-
tion for the year to more than
$185,000,000.
Stricken from the bill on the
grounds it had not been re-
quested by the War department
was a $40,000 request for rees-
tablishment of the office of
high commissioner of the Phil-
ippines. The office has been
vacant since shortly after the

1,440,052 Red Cross Members in
Texas Give 10,974,083 Hours
By LOUIS P. LOCHNEB
Former Chief of The Associated
Press Bureau in Berlin
AACHEN—) The loss to Hit-
ler of the Reich’s capital, Berlin,
probably will be as fatal to Ger-
many as the capitulation of Paris
was to France But it is doubtful
whether the collapse of German
arms wUl follow as rapidly as did
that of the French five years ago.
France was a democracy; Nazi
Germany is a dictatorship.
In January, 1933, when Hitler
seized power in the Reich, many
Germans. Including Nazis, thought
this meant an end to Berlin as
the Reich’s capital.
It was known Hitler disliked
Berlin intensely. His mission,
as he conceived it, was to bring
the New Order first to Ger-
many, then to Europe, then to
the world. Naziism believed
strongly in tearing down before
building up. Changing capitals
would be, figuratively speaking,
a case of tearing down Berlin
and building up Munich or
Nuernberg.
It was Hitler’s original plan to
decentralize the government geo-
graphically and politically concen-
trating power in a single tight-
meshed regime.
An attempt of this kind was
made. The Nazis started to
make Gozlar in the Haris
mountains the center of the
Reich’s agricultural effort, Ham-
burg the backbone of maritime _
activity, Nuernberg the city of
party conventions and Dresden
the hub of German art.
Nevertheless, Berlin remained the
capital Nowhere else were tech-
nical arrangements for the govern-
mental machinery comparable Ber-
lin boasted the best telephone ex-

I Street and avenues were widened
Flagpoles and clusters of electric
lights were placed along historic
Unter den Linden The flower beds
on the huge Wilhelm Plats oppo-
site the Chancellory were replaced
by tiles, so that helling crowds
might on occasion demand to see
their Fuehrer
The loss of Berlin therefore must
mean much to the German people,
and even more. In a sense, to the
Nazis, symbolizing the collapse of
their dreams.
Radl. Moscow reports that
the Nasi government has eva-
cuated Berlin and moved 225
change on the continent: a power-
ful radio station, many ideally ap-
pointed government buildings and
space available for more. Moving
would have conjured up an almost
insoluble housing problem.
Berlin was a world tourist cen-
ter and the only German rival to
London, New York, Paris and Chi-
cago It was the mecca of many
thousands of Germans, too; even
for those who resented the Prus-
sian domination of the Reich. Here
they could hear excellent opera,
symphony and choral singing, en-
joy the state theaters and stages
of Max Reinhardt and other Ger-
man historic masters and visit
some of the Reich's finest mu-
seums.
Hitler planned to make Ber-
lin the symbol of Nasi grandeur.
He started with a gaudy new
Reichschancellory, followed
with the gigantic Air Ministry
and began tearing down other
old structures long before he

hours of service through 251 chap-
ters in 1944, Gov. Coke Stevenson

Stevenson, who recently pro-
claimed March as Red Cross War
Fund month, said the "American
National Red Cross has officially
commended the record of the Texas
Red Cross chapters in furthering
their programs of service to the

Among the outstanding a-
chievements of the state's Red
Cross chapters, Stevenson cit-
ed: collection of 223,357 pints of

connected with finding jobs .for
veterans. (Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines,
Veterans administration head, tea-
tilled that Army discharges would

sions to veterans.

forced from their homes to
make room for ministries trans-

an announcement from the Vati-

transferred his residence from the
capital to Eichstaett in Bavaria.

Obersalzberg eventually may

Berchtesgaden has the advan-

Hospital Ship Goes
Aground; All Saved
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27- A*
Ths Army reported today that tha
hospital ship St Mihiel, with 500
patients abroad went aground off
Bermuda in the midst of a lash-
ing storm on January 26 but all
aboard were saved.
The patients were transferred
without injury to small craft and
taken to the Army base hospital
in Bermuda after the ship had
struck a reef off Mount Hill light-
house.
The St Mihield was bound for
Charleston, 8. C., at the time she
went aground. She was heading
for Bermuda after failure of an
evaporator made It apparent that
the vessel would have insufficient
water to last until Charleston was
reached
After the patients were put ashore
at Bermuda, the hospital ship John
J. Meany was diverted from an
outbound trip to pick up the Ber-
muda patients. The Meany put in
at St. George on January 30 and
arrived at Charleston with the pa-
tients on February 1. The War de-
partment said "the patients were
in high spirits and seemed to en-
joy the stopover in Bermuda."

MOSCOW. Feb. 27—(P) - About
1.000 Americans and 3,500 British
empire prisoners of war liberated
from German camps by the Red ar-
my will be sent home shortly from
a repatriation camp set up at
Odessa, Rear Admiral E. R Archer,
chief of the British military mis-
sion to Moscow, announced today.
The first group is expected to ar-
rive at the Black Sea port Wed-
nesday, and names of the liberated
men will be sent to Washington and
London Most of these men now
are en route by train from Potend
and East Prussia
American, British, Canadian,
Australian and New Zeland teams
will look after their nationals. Sev-
eral tons of clothing, medical sup-
plies. chocolate and cigarettes
the Church of the Brethren, Pam-

at 8 o'clock.
He also held services in chapel
mostly from the Red Cross, have
been collected for the freed men
and some of these supplies already
are being sent to the camp.
American and British empire of-
ficers will work with the Russians
in gathering many hundreds of
former prisoners still believed to
be in various parts of Poland and
East Prussia and those others who
might fall into the hands of the
Red army as it moves through Ger-
many.
The liberated prisoners are be-
lieved to include mainly ground
troops, but there are said to be
some fliers, especially among the
British and Canadians
The first group arriving at the
repatriation camp will be sent home
on British ships. At the camp,
teams of experts will undertake to
establish the identity of all pris-
oners It is known that some Ger-
mans already have tried to pass
themselves off to the Russians as
Americans, British or Canadians.

Mennonites and Friends, as well
as service men and women of all
denominations, are invited to at-,
tend the services.
