Air Superiority Is Needed For Victory Returned Newsman Tells Os Conditions Peru. Ind. June 16— fl'Pi illtler can be defeated and France can be invaded, but not until the United Nations have gained definite air superiority. Glen M. Stadler, native Hoosier foreign correspondent and former manager of the United Press staff at Parts, said today in his story of track-stage Europe. Although the German people are becoming war-weary, they will not collapse or revolt wrhile their armies and air force are still winning victories, was Stadlers conviction after spending five months in a German concentration camp. However, he believes, "1110*1 Germans think that defeat wculd not lie too high .1 price for riddiug the country of Hitler and the Nazis." His story of watching France being stolen bodily by the Nazis and of starving on Gestapo rations with IM companions, diplomata and newspapermen, was told on bis visit to his parents.

CHAPTER TWENTY “But you’re not intending to stay here for the whole week end, are youT” queried Rainier. “Oh yea. Uvs taken a room at the Bull. Surprising what a girl can do by herself these days." “But if they find out—at Kirby—" “That I’ve been visiting one uncle Instead of another? Will it matter? And I don’t really eare if they do find out—l’m tired of school anyway. I’d like to go to Newnham." "Anything wrong with Somerville at Oxford?” "Oh, how you’d loathe to have me anywhere around, wouldn't you?” He began to laugh and suggested taking her to lunch. "Can’t I have luneh here—ln the college?’’ asked Kitty. "No." "Well, that’s better than the little German nt our school who pretends to be Franch and gives us art lessons —he gets in an awful temper and then says, ’ln one word 1 viU not have it.’" They lunched at Buol’s, in King’s Parade, and afterwards he said: “Now, yonng lady, having Invited yourself here, you’ll have to taka the consequences. My usual way of spending an afternoon is to punt up the river, and I don’t care bow dull you find it, it’s either that or off you go on your own." “But I don’t mind at all—l can punt awfully well.” "You won't get the chance—/’U do the punting." But she lazed quite happily daring the hour-long journey, chatting all the time about school, life, the family, herself, and himself. "It’s made a great difference, you passing that examination, Uncle Charles. I believe the family had an idea you were a bit queer till yon did that—now they still think you’re queer, but a marvel toe. You've quite pushed Uncle Julian off the shelf as the one In the family with brains." He made no comment; tbe effort of digging the pole in and out of the river bed gave him an easy excuse for silence. He didn't dislike Kitty, indeed there were certain qualities in her—or perhaps there was only one quality—that definitely attracted him. She went on: “Os course the family don’t really roopoct brains—they lust have a scared teeiing that brains might come In handy some day." "What makes you say that?" "Oh, I don't know—just the general atmosphere before Mother went away. She's at Cannes, you know—staying with Uncle Julian.” They had tea at the Orchard and then returned to her hotel for Uniter. “I’m glad you’re showing up with me here," she said, as they entered the lobby, ho in eap and gown as prescribed by University regulations for all undergraduates after dark. "It late them know I’m reipectable even if I om only fifteen. ... By the way, how old are pouf" “Twenty-six." “Do you /eel twenty-six?" “Sometimes I feel ninety-six—so I try not to bother about how I feel." •Are you happy f" “Oh, happy enough " “Can you remember ever being terribly happy?" He pondered. “Once when I waa s mall boy and Sheldon visited us at Brighton for some reason, and As took me for s walk along the Promenade instead of Miss Ponsonby.* Be laughed. “Such a thrill." She laughed also. “And I was happiest once when I’d had a toothache and it began to stop. Before it jhiislted stopping. I really enjoyed the test bit of the pain." "Morbid creature." •But pata b part es leva, tat Hr He was studying the menu. “At the moment I’m rather more eonearned with the question od steak i versus lamb chops ’ “You would say that, but you dost really meaa it.

The 31-year-old Hoosier claimed the greatest joy of the interned nu'U came when they heard and watched RAF jitenew swarm over the former French capital in reprisal raids.

Tbe men were kept in an ice room, huddled about a tiny stove for three days following their arrest After being told they could leave the next morning and ordered to report to the American embassy, the correspondents were taken to concentration camp where, for five months, they continued to Jose weight on blue, tasteless potatoes und the equivalent of four large hamburgers a week.

and say to yourself, the war's over, , the war’s over, it can’t keep on mak- . ing you happy aa it did that first night, can it?" . “I’ve practically decided on steak. > What about you?" “Uncle Charles, are you sorry I • came here to see you?" , "Well, I’m a little puzzled about ; what *0 do with you tomorrow." , “l*d like to do whatever you were . going to do." “That’s well meant, but 1 don’t , think it would work. I intended to read most of the day and go to a con- , cert in the afternoon." “I'd love the concert." I "I don’t expect you would. Beethoven Quartets make no attempt t to be popular." “Neither do you, Uncle Charlee, but I don't mind.” , He smiled, appreciating the re--1 partee whilst resolute to make no 1 concessions throughout the rest of I the evening and the following day; t he would teach her to play truant from school and fasten herself on , him like that. After a long and, he . hoped, exhausting walk on Sunday I morning, he took her to the concert 5 in the afternoon, and in the evening f saw her off on tb«* train with much t relief and a touch of wry amuse- | ment. 1 “Uncle Charles, you’ve been so sweet to me." , "I haven't been aware of it." “Would you really mind if I were , to come to Newnham?” “It isn’t in my power to stop you. . But don’t imagine you'd see much lof me—the Newnham rules wouldn’t . allow it, for one thing." . “Do you think Newnham would t be good for me?” "Another Question te would you 1 be good for Newnham?" “Won’t you be serious a moment? , 1 wish yon'd write te Mother and I tell bar it would be good far me." "Oh, I don't know that I eould do that. It’s for her and you te decide." "She says she doesn’t think she . can afford It these days." “Not eford H? Surely—" But ’ that, after ail, wasn't his business , either. If Jill thought she eould afford expensive erutees and winterings abroad, and yet decided to economize on her daughter's education —well, it still remained outside his province. The gut added, as ths traia eame in: “It’s because trade's not so good, or something. I lilnk that’s really why Unde Chet canceled my party, not because of Aunt Lydia.*’ She ' mimicked Chet as she added: “Time for economies, old chap." 1 “1 don’t think you really know anything about it. After all, a party wouldn’t rote. " ' “I know, but Unde Chet wouldn’t ’ think of that There’s nobody worse than a seared optimist.” She gave him a look, then added: “I suppose you think I heard somebody say that? Well, 1 didn’t—l thought it > out myself. I’m not the fool you think 1 am." “I don’t think you’re a fool at all. But I don’t see how you can > know much about Inane:al matters." “Oh, eanl I? Uncle Chet used to f rave so much about Rainier shares whenever I saw him that I and a ■ lot of other girls at Kirby clubbed t together and bought some. We look j at the price every morning " He said sternly: “I think you’re ’ very foolish. You and your friends should have something better to 1 spend your time on—and perhaps . your money, t 00.... Good-bye." ; The tra‘n waa moving. “GoodI bye, Unde Charles." Returning to St Swithin's In the mellow October twilight he pon- ’ dered on thst phrase “in these i days."
