REPORT FROM GERMANY 411 (Continued from page 2) that were built. About 2,500 peo- ple could live comfortably in that underground series of tunnels. There are individual rooms, there is water, light and heat. There is a restaurant and even small shops. It is something like the underground tunnel that runs be- tween 6th and 7th avenues in New York City, between the I.R.T. and the Jersey trains. There are hundreds of tunnels running in every direction and it is sim- 'ply something that has to be seen to be appreciated. When a Ger- . man does something, he does it thoroughly, no half measures. From this underground city we went to the "Transient Officers Mess" and were given our last meal in American Occupied Ter- ritory. We had steak and it really was good. Perhaps the fact that it was our last in our own zone made it taste better. It was growing dark by then and it is dangerous to travel these roads by night, so we decided to stay over. The room assigned to Fred Baer and myself was warm and the bed was comfortable. In the morning we set out again and were on our way to Bad Oeynhausen, the headquar- ters of the British Army on the Rhine, and Field Marshal Mont- gomery's headquarters. We again 'got to an Autobahn and from there on the traveling was fast and smooth. We arrived in Bad Oeynhausen about one o'clock on January 4. Summer Resort Bad Oeynhausen, like Wiesbad- ent, is a summer resort. It has ,not been touched by the war. The Kur-haus, the baths, the small hotels, the large private Mansions are all untouched. The town is very similar to many re- sort towns back hoMe. The Brit- ish selected an area of the town, put up a barbed wire fence and told all the Germans within the enclosure to get out. The only 'German civilians allowed m town, that is, the enclosure, are the ones who work as cooks, maids or handy men. The War Crimes Liaison De- tachment in Bad Oeynhausen has a large, 10-room house for its own use. There are four officers b and three enlisted men stationed here. They are the only Americans in this town. They have their own mess, their own transporta- tion and their own office. Lt. Col. Haley Is the commanding officer, Capt. Ivy, the executive officer, Lt. 11%chmann, the intelligence officer, Lt. Geralds, the graves registration officer, and then there is a GI interpreter and two GI clerk typists. There is a German civilian cook, a major domo who prepares the names and super- vises the house, there, are four maids and a handy man, all as- signed to take care of the Ameri- cans and their needs. The house is warm and very modern. We had our first meal in the British Occupied Zone and it was simply delicious. The cooking was real German and the food Amer- ican issue (we get out food from Bremen which is in the American Enclave). We were assigned to rooms and all slept very soundly because the trip had been tiring. Stays in Bad Oeynhausen ( In the morning I was told that I would stay in Bad Oeynhausen with the Liaison Detachment, and the rest of the team would go on to Lubeck. It seems the GI re- porter assigned to the Detach- ment had gone home. The rest of the team left Bad Oeynhausen on January 5 and I remained behind. The upstairs rooms were all oc- cupied so I was assigned to a room in the center of town where some British Colonels and Majors were living. The room is large, comfortable and warns. I have a "batman" to take care of my needs. A "batman" is a British soldier assigned to a British of- ficer to act as his orderly. Every British officer has one. He makes your beds, presses your clothes, shines your shoes and does all the tasks that a British officer is not supposed to do himself. I feel like a millionaire with my own butler. I can't even light my own cigarette. GOOD MUSIC For Any Occasion Floor Shows • Name Bands JULES KLEIN 753 Book Bldg. Friday, February 15, 1'..16 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle Page Sixteen CA. 4710 I spent the next day getting unpacked and settled and did nothing much more than look around, go back to the mess for some delicious food and to get ac- quainted with the rest of the Americans, who would be my fel- low workers for the next few weeks. They are a grand bunch of fellows, real Americans, and I'm sure that my stay here is going to interesting And pleas- ant. It is going to be interesting meeting ime of our British cous- ins, getting used to their way of doing things, learninf to drink tea and training my ear to the various dialects that sound so strange to my ears now. Amusing Incident A very amusing incident hap- pened to us on our way into Bad Oeynhausen on the road from Kassel. We stopped a a British N.A.A.F.I., which is the British equivalent of the Red Cross, for a cup of warm tea -'- that is, so we thought. We unscrambled our- selves from our blankets and walked in. We went over to a counter with a very pretty girl standing behind it in a British uniform. We asked if we could have sonic tea and were asked in a very broad cockney accent, Pave yu goot yer moog?" We looked ,A each other and then at the girl. She came back again with '"ave yu goot yer moogs wid ye?" Finally it dawned on me that moog must mean cup and I told her that we didn't. Well, we didn't get any tea — no moog, no tea. The British don't have any extra cups around. Every Tommy carries his own. So back to the car we went without our tea and thinking blankety blank thoughts, to ourselves, of course. Our first taste of British hospi- tality was not of the best.

Glowing Warmth for Chilly Corners You can banish chilly air these winter mornings with the glowing warmth of an electric heater. These appliances are portable and easy to operate. Heat is always instantly available from your nearest outlet with this modern device. An electric heater is ideal for warming baby's bath area or as a supplement to your central heat- ing system on extremely cold days. There is no cleaner, more convenient type of heat. Detroit Edison's new low rates make electrical heating even more economical. But Not For The Whole Room The capacity of all electric heaters is plainly marked on each unit. The Detroit Edison Company advises all purchasers of heating appliances to notice carefully how much electricity is required to operate the model under consideration. Be cautious of extravagant claims which imply that an electric heater may be operated indefinitely at low cost and yet have sufficient output to warm large areas. When an electric heater is used indiscriminately, abnormally high electric bills can result. Here is a simple rule'to follow in determining the amount of electricity a heater will use. Take the number of-watts shown on the name plate divided by 1000 times 2 cents which will give you the minimum cost of o,peration per hour. For example, the minimum cost of using a thousand-watt heater is equivalent to burning ten 100-watt bulbs or seventeen 60-watt bulbs. A 1000-watt heater costs 14c a week if used one hour daily for seven days. The same unit if used eight hours daily costs $1.12 per week and $4.80 per month. Buy you heater from a reliable dealer who can tell you the cost of operating a unit designed to suit your particular needs. THE DETROIT EDISON CO. Serving Mere Than Half The People of Michigan
