NEW YORK, June 7-(AP)-During eight months as a Hitler prisoner of war I have seen Germany from inside and outside her prison camps, have traveled through fortified areas and over her rail- ways from Brenner Pass to the Polish Corridor, and am convinced that she still expects to win the war.

Her warlords tell the German people and those of Nazi-satelite countries that: 1. Germany has at least 3,000,000 crack troops in the west, backed by powerful fortifications. 2. She has saved a minimum of 5,000 fighter aircraft alone to meet the invasion, deliberately letting the Alliesbelieve there is a shortage. 3. Her bombed-out war factories are being rebuilt in new locations by captive workers as fast as they are smashed. 4. Communications s y.s-t e m s, great, fast electrified railways, are virtually intact except iri the Ber- lin and northern French districts. 5. The high command claims 800 divisions - roughly about 8,000,000 men-are ready in both east and west; that eastern front losses are small because of ordered, strategic withdrawals. 6. German internal food supply and civilian morale, despite heavy Allied bombings, is surprisingly good. 7. Lastly, but not leastly, Ger- many says the Allies are morally weak. She particularly singles out the American as an "I want to go home" soldier. There was considerable sabotage in Germany in 1941 and 1942. Today, it is virtually non-existent, because of Himmler's Gestapo and the Wehr- macht police. German officers smile at Allied reports of thousands of tons of bombs dropped, and at claims that communications to the Eastern front have been disrupted. They don't deny the bombings, but say the results are something else, A few weeks ago I was transferred from a prison camp near Poznan, in Poland, to Stuttgart. Thenbtaken to Marseilles, liberated and boarded a repatriation ship. In the great railway terminals- Poznan, biggest supply center for the eastern front; Breslau, Gerlitz, Dres- den, Augsburg, Munich, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Regensburg, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, and in France, thousands of German troops were on the move. Passenger trains were jammed. But in hardly any of these had there been any permanent damage to stations or tracks, although bombs had left wide trails of destruction through nearby war plants. In Munich, where damage is widespread, the great east station is virtually intact, although the south station is a shambles. One answer to Germany's main- tenance of transport is that she forces millions of manacled pris- oners to work like brutes repair- ing trackage. Reds Ready To Drive East Nazis Fail in Romania As lasi Battle Ends By The Associated Press LONDON, June 7.-The German drive in Romania north of Iasi ap- peared to have ended today, and the Soviet Army newspaper Red Star in Moscow saidnthathRussia now was ready to launch her own promised offensive against the Germans from the east. 10,000 Nazis Killed The abortive German attacks in the province of Moldavia cost the Nazis more than 10,000 dead and tre- mendous losses in equipment during the savage fighting from May 30 to June 6, Moscow announced tonight. A Berlin foreign broadcast claimed at least ten Soviet rifle divisions had been" wiped out or decisively mauled." The Berlin broadcast said the bat- tle north of Iasi ended yesterday and added that only mopping up opera- tions were in progress. This coincided with tonight's broadcast Russian communique, which said that action today involved only small forces and that all German attacks were re- pulsed. The Russians also announced an- other mass bombing attack had been made last night on Iasi itself, smash- ing military trains and other objec- tives at the rail junction. Two planes were lost. Damages Reported In its recapitulation of the damage inflicted on the Nazis during the week-long battle, Moscow said 315 tanks were knocked out, 451 planes shot down, 62 field guns destroyed and that 29 armored cars and troop carriers, 400 trucks and 240 machine- guns had been demolished. With the German attacks smoth- ered, there was a growing belief that I the Russians' long-awaited plunge westward might begin at any time. Red Star said Russia is prepared to throw its full weight into the growing offensive against Germany.

SIR BERNARD L. MONT- GOMERY -- commands British ground forces. * * * B rtis A A ra 'll . . :11 SUPREME HEADQUARTERS, AL- LIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE, June 8, Thursday-(/P)--For four and one-half hours yesterday Gen. Eisen- hower and Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, commander of Allied naval forces, cruised off the invasion beach- es of northern France and held con- ferences with operational command- ers, it was announced today. Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, commander of the invasion ground forces, and Rear Admiral Alan Good- rich Kirk, commander of the U.S. naval task force in the operations, were among the high officers who attended the sensational conclave in the midst of an armada of thousands of ships as the supreme commander obtained an up-to-the-minute pic- ture of the progress of the invasion. A meeting was held within five miles of the enemy at one point becauzse Eisenlhower felt that he could thereby get better communications. Upon his return the general showed satisfaction at the results of the conferences. As Montgomery, in corduroy trous- ers and fleece-lined jacket,iclam- bered down from the warship into his launch at the end of the session Eisenhower grinned, stuck up his thumb and called: "Good luck to you." Response to Fifth War Loan Drive Is Good Invasion Is Boosting Sales in Ann Arbor The people of Ann Arbor are re- sponding very well to the Fifth War Loan Drive, which opened yesterday, because of the invasion, Warren F. Cook, Washtenaw County war finance committee chairman, stated yesterday. "More bonds are being sold than was anticipated," Mr. Cook said. "We hope that everyone will buy bonds voluntarily as soon as possi- ble." "Our job now is to back the boys on the front, who are fighting and dying to preserve our way of life. The least we can do to fight on the home front is to buy bonds," he said. Reports on the sales of bonds for the week will be made on Monday. Thereafter the returns will be an- nounced daily, he stated. Ann Arbor's quota is $6,000,000, of which $4,700,000 is expected to be filled by the sale of non E bonds, of which savings banks and corpora- tions are expected to purchase a total of $3,227,750 worth of bonds, while $1,472,250 must be purchased by individuals. Washtenaw County's goal for the drive has been set at $9,105,000. Ann Arbor is again being asked to bear the burden of the county's quota, ac- cording to Mr. Cook. Norton Brotherton, chairman of the Ann Arbor payroll deduction pur- chase campaign, stated that each payroll plan participant is expected to purchase $100 worth of bonds during the drive.

MORI eL 31i4 South State St, --- U - 'First Glider' City Goes Wild GRFENVILLE, Mich., June 7.- (A')-This city literally went wild to- day with the news that its own glider' "The Fighting Falcon" led the Allied airborne invasion into France on D- Day. Greenville lays claim to the Falcon because school children paid for the glider with a war bond campaign a little over a year ago and because it was produced at the Gibson Refriger- ator Co. here. As the news began to seep through the town, general excitement pre- vailed. Telephone calls jammed the local switchboard and workers at the Gibson firm, where most of the 1,300 townspeople work, yelled like wild men and then quickly returned to their job of making more gliders. ROME, June 7.-(AP)-A thousand. wounded Geriman soldiers have been found in the hospitals of Rome, Allied military government officials said today. More than 25,000 casualties were being treated here just before Allied prof. Swinton. Interned in Ja Prisoii Ca ni 'U' Man, Daughter Are Held at Santo Tolnas Included in the group of Americans interned at the Jap camp of Santo Tomas in Manila, is Prof. Roy S. Swinton, of the University engineer- ing mechanics department. Prof. Swinton was on leave from the University visiting the University of Manila when the war br'oke out. For three months during the summer of 1942 no word was received from him. In September of that year the International Red Cross informed the family in this country that Prof. Swinton, his wife and daughter were interned in Manila. Prof. Swinton, whose son Pvt. Stan Swinton was formerly City Editor of The Michigan Daily and is currently with the Army newspaper, Stars and Stripes, is reported in good health and spirits. Carl Mydans, Life' photographer who has just returned from Manila on an exchange ship, met Prof. Swin- ton at Santo Tomas and reports that he is extremely popular with the other prisoners in the camp and has pitched into camp housekeeping du- ties with an enthusiasm unmatched by many of the younger men. Mydans says that people either sulk and feel sorry for themselves because they are in camp, or else they take it in their stride. Prof. Swinton was of the latter group, says Mydans. In a letter to his grandmother, Pvt. Swinton reports that his father has continued making use of his tech- nical knowledge. "He has used his old Argo milling experience and engi- neering knowledge to build what My- dans called a 'Rube Goldberg' con- traption, which proved very effective in taking bugs out of the rice and wheat they had. occupation but the Germans succeed- ed in evacuating most of them, it was ascertained. The transition of Rome from a combat city to near normalcy began within a few hours after occupation, and within 48 hours soup kitchens capable of feeding 400,000 persons were opened. AMG health officials said there was not a single case of malaria in the city, 16,000 hospital beds were available, large quantities of coal were obtained for power and some parts of the city had electricity with- in a few hours. It was announced that two well- known Fascist newspapers, Popolo di Roma and Giornale D'Italia had been suppressed. Others continued publication but under new editorial staffs. Arrangements have been made for the Japanese ambassador to the Vat- ican, whose legal residence is outside Vatican City, to visit the Vatican whenever he chooses but his liberty is restricted to a direct route from his residence. AMG also announced the Germans had liberated all convicts in the city's penitentiaries and .jails but that at least a third of them had been rounded up. Speaker Indicts Stress Oin Ecoin ic Aspects Speaking on "Cultural Patterns in Peru," Dr. Manuel Garcia-Calderon said in a lecture yesterday that one of the mistakes in inter-American relations is the placing of too much emphasis on the economic side. "We have faith," he said, "in cul- tural understanding rather than mere commercial relations." In support of this he cited agree- ments for exchange arrangements of students and official publications between the United States and Peru and said he believed the governments are helping more and more to ad- vance cultural understanding be- tween the United States and Latin American countries.
