Sy TOM WOLF NEA Staff Writer PARIS, Dec. 14—~When the generals are expecting a V.I.P. (very important person) to drop in for a meal in Paris, the generals call for a sergeant, They call for “John, of SHAEF"— whose name has the same relationship to food as has that of Oscar of the Waldorf. John's full army name is Sgt. John Schwarz. But the dozens of VIPs who have been served by him —and they include every one from Gen. Marshall and Adm. King right on down through a few brigadier generals—simply know him as “John of SHAEF.” . John was: born in, of all places, Aachen, Germany, in 1909. He left (Germany in 1931 and worked in the catering departments of leading hotels in Paris and Brussels before coming to the states in 1938. In

Bat gL 9%,

New York he worked as a waiter or

on room service in the Astor, St. Moritz and the Waldorf-Actoria. . Uncle Sam's “Greetings” caught up with him in February, 1943. Within three months he was overseas in th mess section of the headquarters command of the European theater of operations, U.S. army. He’s been making arrangements for the meals of big shots ever since— today as the enlisted service-boss of all SHAEF messes in the Paris area. a “In adition to regular messes in Paris, there's one secret mess,” John says. “Seems-like every time some visiting - big shot .comes to Paris they ring me up and ask to have a meal at this secret mess. It doesn't matter,’ because I'm always ready for them at any Hour of the day or night: “Of coure, we do the best we can, but these VIPs don't want to eat elaborate food. They just eat ordinary chow. Gen. Eisenhower's

favorite dish seems to ‘be baked

beans and hominy. I remember once just befgre D-day, I flew some hominy to the general’ secret headquarters on the southern coast of England.” John has served—he supgrvises the service, rather than serving things himself—almost every allied big shot in land, sea or air forces— to say nothing of such civilian brass hats as Prime Minister Churchill, Jimmy Byrnes and others. Some of these .meals have been served in mess kits. Others in elaborate style.

Fortunately none of John’s wait ers has ever become so over-awed at the sight of brass that they've spilled soup in Gen. Eisenhower's lap or made some equal blunder. The only mishap to date was that John himself got a little mixed up

jon the braid one day and had a

British rear admiral served before a British full admiral. He heard about that later. “The VIPs don't get anything the G. L's don't,” John says. “In all

SHAEF messes in Paris everyone gets G. I. food. It's all sent over from the states. We don’t buy any~ thing locally because the French haven't got enough food themselves, “We have all-French: persénnel working in the kitchens and the GIs ‘are eating today as well as civilians ever ate in prewar Paris. It's ‘wonderful what the French can do with G. I. ingredients. For instance, the eclairs and pastry they make of powdered eggs and powdered milk are nothing short of amazing. As a matter of fact, there isn’t a dish in the world these cooks can't make out of our G. I ingredients.”
