“Monk” Hollowell
Home On Furlough
Edenton Boy Had Har
rowing Experience
In Germany
Pfe. John H. (“Monk”) Hollowell
.arrived late last week to spend a 21-
furlough in Edenton with rela
tives and friends. Young Hollowell
at present is stationed at the United
States Army General Hospital at
Camp Carson, Colorado, where he
was transferred after a harrowing
experience in Germany.
Pfc. Hollowell is a paratrooper and (
had his feet frozen during December j
while trapped in Germany. He was
rescued by General George Patton’s
Third Army men and sent to several j
hospitals before being transferred to
Camp Carson. It was feared at first
that it would be necessary to ampu
tate his feet, but fortunately it was
not done. Young Hollowell limps
somewhat when walking, and while
on furlough is obliged to go to the j
local Naval Air Station daily for
treatment.

Never missed a Saturday at Se

and Bob’s son going off in uni

things like fishing.
But tbe other day Bob got a
letter from tbe Sooth Pacific
. . . kind of a homesick letter:
“I’m thinking of yon, Dad, fish

keeping the beer cool in the

! LOOKING AT WASHINGTON " j
By HUGO S. SIMS, Washington Correspondent
Uninvited Nations Anxious About
. San Francisco Parley
While the forty-six nations are j
working at San Francisco in an es
-1 fort to effect an organization, along
' the lines of the Dumbarton Oaks
agreement, which will tend to guar
antee the future peace of the world,
it is interesting to note the nations
which have not been invited to at
tend.
; The list includes Italy, Argentina,
Spain, Greece, Switzerland, Eire,
1 Denmark and Poland. The latter na-
I tion. through failure to organize the j
I government along the lines of the j
1 Yalta agreement, is not participat- J
' ing. The other nations, for obvious
i reasons, have not been invited.
I While most of the omitted govern
ments have recognized the futility
of a hasty conversion to the Allied
cause, the friends of Italy in this
country have made a well-organized
attempt to secure the reinstatement
of Italy into the family of the I ni- 1
j ted Nations. They conveniently over
look the record of Italy, the eo-foun
! der of the Axis, in Ethiopia, in Spain,
in Russia, in Albania and in the
' fighting across North Africa.
The Spanish Government, which
is thoroughly informed as to the
precarious position Spain will occupy
in international affairs, would like
Ito have an invitation, but General
I Franco knows that none will arrive.
I Nevertheless, the Spanish have bro-
I ken diplomatic relations with Japan
[ upon the theory that the present
j conference is the beginning of many
to be held and that it is still possible
for Spain to get in line for future
representation.
In South America, where the Ar
gentine Government has had what
might be called death-bed repent
ance, the Farel regime would like
an invitation which the British and
Americans might be willing to ex
tend, but Russia is very much alive
to the course pursued by Argentina
in connection with the Axis and ap
parently blocks any consideration of
Argentina. -
While the Poles would have been
I invited, if a reconstructed govern
ment had been installed into office,
there seems to be little prospect of
their participation in the conference.
This is due, according to some re
ports, to reticence on the part of
! Moscow to agree upon the composi
tion of the government, the United
States and Great Britain rejected
the idea that the Lublin Poles should
be invited to represent their coun
try. The English-speaking nations
want the Yalta agreement carried
out in full, with a revised and re
vamped government in Warsaw.
U. S. Prisoners In Germany SufTer
As Nazis Collapse
A joint statement issued by Secre
tary of State Stettinius and Secretary
of War Stimson recently discussed j
' the t reatment of American prisoners
So Bob spent bis next day off
exactly as Dick dreamed of hie
doing—fished Seward’s Creek
again, and cooked tbe trout, and ‘
kept the beer cool in the stream.
And you knew be was doing X
for Dick.

they come home to share them.
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1945.
in Germany, describing it as “de
! plorable.”
| The statement points out that Al
lied offensives overran twenty-seven
of the seventy-eight prisoner-of-war
camps and hospitals. Some 15,000
Americans have been liberated, but
the Germans hastily evacuated ap
proximately 36,000 Americans into
interior of Germany, where 34,000
others are being held.
The condition of these 70,000
Americans, compressed into an ever
narrowing area, represents extreme
[ hardships, with food and sanitary
S provisions that are insufficient, due
Jin part to the disrupted transport fa
cilities of the Reich. Os course, the
j whole situation stems from the fa
natical resistance of the Nazis.
The American officials point out
that large central supply depots of
Red Cross stocks have been establish
ed in areas for delivery to Ameri
cans now held as .war prisoners,
i Moreover, in Sweden and Switzer
land, ample stocks are available to
keep the depots provided and a total
of 163,580 tons of Red Cross sup
plies, including millions of individ
ual food parcels, are awaiting de
livery to the prisoners of war.
The principal problem, report the
officials, is that of transporting the
supplies after they reach Germany.
Truck convoys have been used, op
erated by the Red Cross, with fpel
from Allied governmental and mil
itary sources. Non German sources
have supplied 525 railroad cars to
carry the supplies and Germany, it
is reported, provided forty-four cars j
in the first twelve days of March for I
the shipment of 500 tons of supplies
from Switzerland.
The report is made public in order
that the American people may have
authoritative information about pris
oners of war in Germany. Assurance
is made that efforts will continue to
get supplies to the camps and that
despite chaotic conditions inside Ger
many, there is evidence that some of
the camps are getting shipments.
The two officials recognize that in
addition to the suffering caused by
the chaotic condition in Germany,
there are instances of deliberate
neglect, indifference and cruelty in
the treatment of American prisoners.
These atrocities are being document
ed and the “perpetrators of the hen
ious crimes” against Americans will
be brought to justice, declares the
statement.
Overseas Service
The policy of the War Department
Plan To Send All Soldiers Into
as to sending men overseas to re
place veterans has been plainly staff- ,
ed by Secretary of War Stimson. j
The Secretary of War says that in
February there were approximately I
8,050.000 men in the Army, 5,150.000
of whom were overseas. About half i
I of the 2,900.000 on duty in the Unit- j
ed States have been earmarked for j
. or, - ' ..v duty ■ being trained ;
, : : i oidiagly.

.Army hospitals ami 1.."55,000 in es- j

.1 -s, cimci cried' with overseas supply,.,
plan maintenance, cargo-loading, I
communications or transportation.
Every or.e, “except those, who have I
j already seen overseas service or who.
'are physically disqualified” is “ear- |
j marked for foreign service as soon I
as he can he replaced by an Overseas J
returnee or a limited-service man.”
Merger of Armed Forces Coming
But With Doubts
J The post-war merger of the Army
I and Navy will be facilitated, no
doubt, by the endorsement of the
' proposal by Secretary of War He cry
L. Stiinson.
It should be recalled tl;ai dames
F. livrnes, recently Director of War
Mobilization, urged Congress to con
sider, legislation to merge the Army,
Navy and Air Forces, after the .war,
on. the 1 ground that the pfcseuit divi
sion .of . authority . has caused. waste
ami the duplication evf authority.
These matters are entitled' to seri
ous consideration but. despite .vur j
lack of technical information, we be
lieve that there, is some danger at -1
(ached to any merger <>f the nation’s
defense, forces. Obviously, economies
can be effected through consolida
tion of certain agencies now dupli
cated in both outfits.
At the same time, a single head,J
with complete power over the Army,
the Navy and the Air Force would
tend to create and establish a single
policy in matters pertaining to de
fence. The danger exists that such
control would diminish initiative; and
tend to stereotype defense plans,
which, in some future war, might
prove disastrous.
While economy is to be achieved
whenever possible and conflicting
areas of author!'.;* should be avoided,
neither of these objectives, however
worthy, can justify a scheme of reor
ganization which might cripple the ,
development of the defen e forces of
the nation for maximum efficiency
in their respective fields of operation. (
Truman Outlines Policy: Plans To !
Follow F.D.R.
President Harry S. Tru lan, in
his first address to Congress, made
it clear that in the main he i '.tends •
to follow the policies laid do vn by ,
President Roosevelt. i
Accordingly, he supports the de
mand for unconditional surrender, ;
says that war criminals must be pun

I will continue under the Admirals and

The new President advocates a!
world organization, to prevent future
wars and says that the great nations
must not attempt to establish domin
ation in the new world order. He
asks for the continued cooperation
of the great powers in facing the
responsibilities connected with the
peace.
On the domestic front, the new
President reported that “tremendous
progress has been made toward a
really democratic way of life” and
assured America that there will be
no relaxation in our efforts to im
prove the lot of the common people,”
While the passage was not stres
sed in the news summaries that we
read, attention is directed to the
statement that the United States
“has become one of the most power
ful forces for good on earth” having
learned “to fight with other nations
in common defense of our freedom
and the assertion that “we must now <
I learn to live with other nations fi r j
' our mutual pood.”
j . President Truman seemed t<- !i:. e
■in mind Some development of .initr-
I national commerce' because lie added:
| “We must learn to trade more with
other nations so that there may be— :
| for our mutual advantage— increased j
production, increased employment
i and better standards of liv’iig i
throughout the world.”
Altogether, the first utterance 'of |
i the new Chief Executive is extreme- J
!ly reassuring. Undoubtedly, f it out -
i lines the basic principles upon which
I he will attempt to build a successful I
i administration and to maintain for :
the people of the United States the

| Figrht Against Insects
Is Continuous Process
North Carolina farmers must face
the fact that the fight against in
sects for profitable crop production
is a continuous and never-ending
process, .
This past week reports have come
to State College telling of attacks by
army worms bn the best growth of
small grain in eastern Carolina. J. L
Myron Maxwell, extension entom
ologist, says the reports came from I
Counties as far apart as Camden and
Pamlico and that there must be dam
age to other fields between, these two 1
j counties.
I He has recommended the scatter
ing of poison bran mash in fields
affected by this worm: : Make, up the
mash by using 100 pounds of wheat
bran, five pounds of pans green, in
9 to j() gallons of water and mixed
thoroughly. The mash should be
.scattered- late in the evening.
Added to this new pest of ; small'
grain is the Hessian fly. This in
sect is causing damage all over the
State, particularly where there was
any wheat seeded early last. fall. Not
only has this wheat been infested,
but it has. served as a breeding place
for infesting later seeded wheat.
