Washington. D. C. OCCt'PATION OK REICH The war department isn't adver tising the details but it has com pleted plans for the occupation of Germany by American forces.

The war department recognizes it will be n.i easy job to get the army home all i't nee. However, both have emphasized the r.e. d for speed ing discharges . nd. with r.o sub marine warfare to cope with and no necessity for sailing in siow convoys, oNicials are confident that all except the army of occupation in Germany will be back within a few months. Note—Greatest complaint against the army point system is that it makes no allowance for men over 85. who apparently have to sweat it out until the end of the Japanese war. unless the war department makes no* allowances for them. • • • INSIDE GERMANY Allied leaders, after surveying ef fects of intelligence work inside the Reich, are now finally convinced there is no chance of an honest ar.ti- Hitler revolt by the German people. What's more, efforts to spawn a pro-Allied underground in Germany have met with failure. Principal reason is that the Ges tapo controls everything includ ing the army hierarchy. The com munist underground has been com pletely liquidated: also ail remnants of the socialist and social-democrat ic parties. The only real hope Allied military leaders have Is that the 11 million slave laborers brought to Germany by Hitler from Poland, Russia, France, Belgium, Holland and Nor way, will conduct an increasing campaign of sabotage, perhaps giv ing heart tc large groups of Ger mans to join them. A year ago, Hitler and his henchmen kicked these slave laborers around at will, fed theni poorly, worked them brutally under a whip lash. Of late, this pressure has been eased. In some instances, Nazis have re portedly given special treatment to their captives on the chance that they themselves will not be too badly punishod by the Al lies when German falls. It is now even possible for a few of these captives to escape from Germany for a price in foreigß money—as petty Nasi police try to accumulate enough foreign currency to live safely during the Allied occupation. • • • CAPITAL CHAFF fl Whenever Sen. Bennett Clark of Missouri (soon to be an ex) meets Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer, he says: "I should hate you but I can't." ... He refers to the fact that, at the Baltimore Democratic conven tion of 1912, A. Mitchell Palmer received a telegram from Woodrow Wilson, then governor of New Jer- i icy, releasing his delegates to Ben nett's father. Speaker Champ Clark. But Palmer refused to show any one the telegram and, in the end, Wilson, not Clark, was nominated. : MaeArthur Follows New Landings of Troops ' |bl yji • m Hl.

The newspapers fell for it, too, a week earlier when a Canadian Press dispatch said an RCAF batman was named as the one it actually happened to in Nor mandy . . . The report stated that his name was George McMillan of Nova Scotia. The number on the fragment was 2(i750 the number on his identity card . . . The Herald Tribune carried it, too, a week after it published an article (Aug. 13th) in its magazine section titled: "Lucky Shot" by Gen. Patton's wife. She said it happened in the last war! Lou Hollz and some others were reminiscing about Ziegfeld and how the master-showman always "had class" even when he couldn't afford it. There was the time, frixample, when Ziegfeld was in Hollywood aft er squandering another fortune on a failure in New York. He wired his old friend Kd Wynn ... "I know I owe you $65,000," it said, "but I need $7,500 desperately. Will you help me out again?" Wynn instructed his bankers to rush Ziegfeld the $7,500 . . . Zieg feld used it to return to N. Y. in a private Pullman I Max llerzberg, who collected a botikful of anecdotes which he chris tened: "Insults," considers this his favorite. . . . Once Disraeli and Gladstone collided verbally in the House and as Gladstone came out after adjournment he was still shak ing with rage. . . . He glimpsed Disraeli chatting with other mem bers and he shouted: "Sir, you will come to your end either on the gal lows or by some terrible plague!" Disraeli adjusted his monocle and softly intoned: "I should say, Mr. Gladstone, that depends upon wheth er I embrace your principles or your mistress." The G-Men follow through on ev ery tip, of course. . . . You never can toll. . . . Several of them were assigned to a real hot one last week. . . . A woman, reported the inform ant, had many signs in her bathroom reading: "Good morning, Mein Fuehrer." . . . "Heil Hitler!" and "What have you done today to im prove the Master Rate?" . . . FBI agents, disguised as plumbers, in vestigated and confirmed the tip. . . . "You bet I put them up!" she boa9ted. "But I'm not a Nazi!" . It took hours before they broke her down. . . . She was fed up with her husband's dictatorial attitude, and he had stopped speaking to her. . . . She hoped to insult him by com paring him with Hitler! Add capsule criticisms that will live: Don Herold's: "The dogs in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' are poorly sup ported by the cast." . . . Robert Benchley: " 'Perfectly Scandalous' was one of those plays in which all of the actors unfortunately enunci ated very clearly." . . . Anon: "The trouble with Katharine Hep burn in The Lake' is that she didn't throw herself into it enough," Notes of an Innocent Bystander: The Magazines: Newsweek's good word-wedding. Its drama critic, de scribing a singer portraying a ham my actress, wrote: "She plays the role of a Mae Westphalian prima donna." . . . The same mag re minds Russian-baiters that the So viet casualties are almost five times greater than the U. S. and British combined. . . . "Seventeen," a new mag for the junior-miss set, has a refreshing slant. . . Earl Wilson is represented in Everybody's Di gest, a mag with zing. . . . Pic rolls out the silver lining for scientists who insist civilization can attain Utopia. Meanwhile we'll be content with the closest thing to it—Ameri ca. .. . American Mercury's circu lation is climbing steadily and for good reason. It makes sense. . . . John Roy Carlson, the "Under Cov er" author, does another excellent job in The Woman magazin*. ... In a few weeks the same mag offers his "Daughters of Dissension and De feat," which undresses the various phony "Mother Patriotic Clubs." Navy Sec'y Forrestal got a huge howl at the Waldorf dinner in his honor with this: "There are two wars. We are winning the first one and we are going to win the second. But there are too many experts) That reminds me of the expert en gineer who knew what it was all about. You know what an expert is. He's a mechanic away from home!" Capt. J. Farra, 51, has been in tb» Army 35 years. ... He was asked to fill out another questionnaire. The first question was: "Civilian occupa tion?" ... To which Farrar jotted down: "Child!" ... In Indianapolis a man was nabbed climbing over the wall of the Indiana women's prison. The police learned he was the prison engineer and had forgotten his keys. ... A certain prima donna com plained to a newspaper man that she was getting nervous and irritable and just didn't want to see people "Give a concert," he suggested. f/tu/L -j \ MOROLINE .
