IN NORMANDY (By Wireless) —When the now famous Gen. Carl Wilhelm von Schlieben was captured I happened to be at the 9th division command post to which he was first brought. Maj, Gen. Manton S. Eddy, division commander, . _. _. hada long interview with him in ho BEER his trailer. When he was about "finished and ready to send the ~ eaptured general on to higher headquarters, Gen. Eddy sent word "that the photographers could come and take pigtures. : So they stood in a group in an orchard while the photographers snapped away. Von Schlieben was obviously sourpuss about being "captured, and even more sOUrpuss 3 at having his picture taken. He ais ¥ made no effort to look other than sullenly displeased. Gen. Eday was trying to be decent about it. He * had an interpreter tell the prisoner that this was the price of being a general. Von Schlieben just snorted. And then Gen. Eddy said to the interpreter: . “Tell the general that our country is a democracy and therefore I don't have authority to forbid these photographers to take pictures.” ‘Von Schliében snorted again. And we chuckled behind our beards at one of the slickest examples of working democracy we had ever seen. And Gen. Eddy had the appearance of the traditional cat that swallowed something wonderful,

Normandy Is a Land of Rabbits

NORMANDY IS a land of rabbits. You see them 4n the fields and around the farmyards. Most of them are semi-tame, Apparently the people eat a great deal of rabbit. When we first moved in and began capturing permanent German bivouac areas we found that nearly every little group of German soldiers had its own rabbit warren. They raised them for food. One day my friend Pvt. William Bates Wescott of Culver City, Cal, found a. mother rabbit that had been killed in the shelling, and nearby in a nest under a hedge, he found six baby rabbits, only a few days old. ) . i - Wescott took them to his pup tent, got a ration box to put them in, and spent thé afternoon feeding

He followed Wescott around everywhere, and if the distance got too far he would go hopping back to the pup tent and snuggle up in Westcotts® blankets, He was quite a little rabbit. Everybody was crazy about him. Then after about a week we found him dead out on the grass one morning. Which is a lousy way to end the story, but that's all there was to it.

Montebourg Most Wrecked Town

THE TOWN of Montebourg on the Cherbourg peninsula is one of the worst wrecked of the towns that were fought over and shelled by both sides, We stopped at Montebourg one day after it was all over. On one side of the city square there was a large collection of rusting farm implements—all kinds of plows, planters, mowers and things, On one wrecked mowing machine was the familiar name “McCormick,” and near the machine was stretched out in pathetic deatn a big white rabbit. One night I crawled down into an ack-ack battery command post,-in a dugout. It was about 2 a. m, Only two people were there—a lieutenant, giving orders to the guns by telephone, and a sergeant, getting ready to fix some hot chocolate. He asked if I would have some, and following the old army custom of never refusing anything I said sure. He was Sgt. Leopold Lamparty, the first sergeant of this battery, from Youngstown, O. He used to be a bartender, and already in France he has picked up several little antique whisky glasses of old and beautiful design. But the reason I'm writing about Lamparty is his electric iron. He made the hot chocolate on an electric iron turned upside down. Each ack-ack battery has a portable generator, so Lamparty just plugs in. His sister sent him the iron two years ago when be was in camp near Chicago, and he has carried it ever since, There was a time long ago when he pressed - his pants with it, but a guy with pressed pants over here would probably be shot as a spy, so now Lamparty cooks: with his iron. ; \

Broadcast News

TOLEDO, O., July 21.—Many people listen to the pews of America and’ the world, broadcast by radio for five minutes or 15 minutes, at intervals throughout the day and night. I wonder if many of the listeners

ever stop to consider where this news comes from. = A recent survey in a large city reveals some astonishing results. It indicates that a large percentage of people are of the opinion that radio gets more direct news than newspapers and that radio broadcasters investigate news care=fully. The fact is there are few radio reporters, The broadeast which you hear is merely being read by a man with a good voice from the dispatches taken from one or more of the three large news gathering agencies, the Associated Press, the United Press and the International News Service,

Only Reciting Rewrite

AS L. D, HOTCHKISS of the Los Angeles Times makes sharply clear in a recent issue of the Bulletin of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, press pssociations, “built on revenues subscribed by individual papers, have made available to xadio their complete services with a few strings attached. There has been no effort by the press or radio to acquaint the public with the facts of life as pertaining to the gathering and distribution of news which is poured forth over the ether in ever-increasing volume,

It was the only copy, so Curt got in touch with the postoffice and asked that someone attempt to trace the letter containing the script.

When Charley Sohl, Butler football captain back about 1930, saw a husky native in the Marshall islands wearing a Butler university “B” sweater, his curiosity was aroused.

It was his sweater, and he had traded it to the native.

A Woman's Purse

MARIE NIEBRUGGE, 3615 Graceland, arrived in town after midnight last Friday from a vacation in Colorado and took a taxi home. After getting in the house, she discovered she had left her purse in the cab. She hastily phoned the cab company which checked the driver, who said he had not seen the purse. Besides more than $170 in cash, the purse contained many other items of value to Miss Niebrugge, and she hopes whoever has it will mail it back to her. Among its contents she lists: “One jarge compact, one $32.50 camera, one friendship bracelet, one fountain pen, two pencils, one ration book, two souvenirs from Denver, one picture (valuable to me), sorority mem-

“Consequently, how can we expect the average p

radio listener to know that the golden-voiced celebrity, giving it “straight from his vast sources of private information” is only reciting a rewrite of a news account written by a lowly reporter who has gone out and grubbed the information the hard way.”

Mere Handful of Reporters

RADIO HAS a mere handful of reporters of its own, none of whom could possibly: cover more than a very small news sector. And what few exclusive reporters radio has depend upon the same sources with which thousands of the most competent reporters and correspondents in the world are constantly in touch. So what you hear in the way of news over the radio, with very smal] exception, is taken from the hard-earned reports of newspaper reporters and official combat correspondents. who are usually reporters enlisted in the arfned forces. Broadcasters are merely readers, giving you the news from teletypes in their offices. Some read fit over the air exactly as written; some revamp it. The revamping consists of changing the wording in some places or interpolating some comment of their own, still based on newspaper information. The radio has a proper and a firm place in the home. It furnishes excellent entertainment and many informative programs. It will increase and not decrease in acceptance and use as the years go by. Its newscasts give a service that people enjoy. But let's be clear about the facts. Its news service is a skeletonized report, based upon the three great news-gathering agencies and upon the ceaseless work of a trained army of newspaper reporters.

first thing after the war is over, As I look at the American scene, I think it would be to further new housing. Naturally, houses near the railroad yards and railroad tracks are poor houses, but even as you look down the streets you feel that there are many houses in which people live that you would like to see replaced by better ones. Out of these poor homes, of course, have gone many men who are distinguishing themselves on the fields of battle all over the world. From one to four stars often hang in the windows. These men deserve to come back to better homes. Taken by and large, this: countryside one goes

SECOND SECTION

TEXAS REVOLT HOLDS THREAT 70 ROOSEVELT

Delegates Bolt Convention; Protest Rally Slated for All South.

By MARSHALL McNEIL Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

CHICAGO, July 21, = This one< man Democratic national convention has given enthusiastic new life to the southern revolt, which now can conceivably result in defeat of President Roosevelt in November. It has refused the demands, of Texas’ regular Democrats. As a result the Democratic presidential electors of Texas are instructed to vote against the President in the electoral college. If the election is close enough, Texas’ 23 electoral votes — to say nothing of the possibility of nearly as many more from other southern states — may hold the balance of ‘power and throw the election into the house .of representatives.

Begin Drafting Plans

Looking toward that end, southern Democrats who detest the fourth term were to begin laying their plans here today. Their nucleus is the Texas group which was so incensed at the convention's decision to seat their proRoosevelt opponents that they walked out of the stadium in disgust. Around this group, now prepared to go home and fight throughout the state against the re-election of the New Deal, an all-southern convention will be called within a few weeks, perhaps at Shreveport, La. That convention will nominate its own presidential ticket, headed perhaps by Senator Harry Byrd. of Virginia. The large majority of the Texas “free” electors, if elected in November, will cast their votes for the Byrd ticket.

Revolt Strengthened

This, at least, is the plan which anti-fourth-term Democrats-—< among them E. B. Germany of Dallas and former Governor Mike Conner of Mississippi—were scheduled to discuss today. These anti-Roosevelt Democrats of Texas and the south are determined people. In the face of the convention's action they have dispelled the feeling, current before this meeting began, that the southern revolt might peter out. One reason it didn't was the inept handling of the convention's 'credentials committee by Senator Abe Murdock of Utah. It was his job to lead his colleagues toward a decision on whether to seat the Texas regulars or the Texas rump delegates. Obviously, national party leaders here wanted the regulars seated, for they know the danger of adding to the discontent in Texas.

Compromise Offered

Senator Murdock chose to comromise by voting to seat both delegations, dividing Texas’ 48 votes between them. The regulars came here backed by their convention's pledge that if any rump delegates were seated, their (the regulars) presidential electors would not support the nominee of this convention. The rump spokesman,’ lean and serious Herman Jones of Austin, new to big-time politics, played on this. It was a pistol pointed at the assembled delegates, to bend them to the will of the regulars. He said

nored. - Senator Murdock and his group ignored it in part, only. Their compromise fed the regulars the raw meat they had hoped for. At convention hall the Texas regulars, learning of the decision, were tempted to march out of the hall at once, But at the insistence of George Butler of Houston, state chairman, they decided to act in an orderly way. The convention changed its order of business so the Texans could caucus. ‘Suggestion Offends

How the national party leaders felt about the situation was shown when Chairman Bob Hannegan sent word through Ed Pauley of California that “he hoped no matter how your deliberations end, that your conduet on the floor will be orderly.” ’ “Insult!” several Texans cried. Mr. Pauley said he meant no insult. ° Finally, the decision was reached: If the convention upheld the Murdock credentials committee report, each regular Texan could decide individually whether to stay in the convention-—or leave. The issue was taken to the platform. Hart Willis of Dallas aeppealed to the convention to seat the regulars from their own legal convention in Texas. He told what seating of the rump delegates would mean din freeing ‘Texas electors from voting for F. D. R. There were boos and applause.

Samuel D. Jackson went into the

troversial Democratic national convention with a confident grip on the gavel. For all factions - here were agreed on at least one thing—Jackson is presiding as permanent chair ’ man with the expertness of a vet eran and is playing the game absolutely fair. ' His greatest triumph yesterday was not his address in taking over the gavel from Keynoter Governor Kerr of Oklahoma, but the fact that he held down the delegates to dig-

trol as though they were Republicans. More to Fight About

Democrats in convention assembled sometimes carry on quite a dogfight. This time they have more to fight about than any time since F. D. R. became their permanent presidential candidate.

On the press handouts of the Jackson speech appeared this bit of political advertising: “Member of the United States senate and Democratic riominee for governor of the state of Indiana.” After Keynoter Kerr had aroused the convention to fever pitch the] night before, Senator Jackson had a difficult time drawing much applause with his speech.

Many Seats Vacant

It came on a little after 12 noon and deleates and alternates had hardly arrived and whole tiers of] seats were vacant in the vast stadium. “gitting in the senate chamber, I sometimes realize I can look down | upon the very spot where our then best chance to help this globe to escape war, was killed,” the senator said. “It was a sacrifice to the gods of partisan greed.” . That was a point for applause. But at that point the most dramatic thing going on in the sparsely filled hall was not on the rostrum but down below. Jim Farley and Paul McNutt were having their picture taken. “Reactionary Republican leaders were not above striking down peace hopes for their partisan gain,” Sen

Barkley swabbed his face, stepped back and th&n stepped again to the fore to pose for the photographers standing on the press benches and clamoring, “Senator, this way, Senator. Just one more, Senator.”

Barkley was good at this. He would throw out his right hand in an oratorical sweep and part his rugged features in a reasonably convincing grin. Now to the left of the bridge, for the photographers over there. Now back to the right, with a different placard in his left hand. “Hold it higher, Senator, it hides your face.

Linked to ‘Browder

Earl Browder was Hillman's asso= ciate then and Earl Browder is closely related to Mr. Hillman's work today. So was Paul Robeson, then a Communist speaker between performances at Moscow's Metropole theater and now a leader in Hilinan’s committee and chairman of the Communis t-surrounded African Affairs council in the Institute of International democracy at 23 W. 26th st., New York. That was a return trip to Russia for Hillman. He was born in 1887 at Zagare, Lithuania, then part of Russia. He first came to the United States in 1907, at the age of 20. After organizing immigrants and refugee garment workers from middle Europe into the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, which now has 325,000 members, the man who is saying “yes” and “no” to the convention here really got rolling in American politics when President Roosevelt appointed him to work closely with-Mrs. Anna Rosenberg in a series of New Deal executive posts. Mrs. Rosenberg and Hillman quarreled, she reportedly feeling that Hillman double-crossed her and ousted her from the White House inner circle, But Hillman

Founds the P. A. C. A year ago he founded the Political Action Committee at the C. I. O.s Philadelphia convention. The fruit of that work gave him the Democratic party leadership he is exercising here today. In Philadelphia he outlined his plan to raise $5,000,000 to defeat certain members of congress. Hillman had his own clothing workers pledge $102,000 the first day. Before the convention adjourned he had $2,000,000 in hand, collected by union officials, and he has made no statement of how much money he has collected since. On June 14, appearing before the

mittee, Hillman conceded the illegality of union contributions to the election or defeat of federal officers, Out went the words C. I. O. Hillman changed his committee into the National Citizens’ Political Ac-
