NAZIS GIVEN
CUTITORDER
^Bluntly Told They Are to
Be Treated as Defeat
ed Army
LONDON, May 15—A dispatch
from Bolzano, Italy, said that the
Nazis there, after swaggering
around for 10 days doing about as
they pleased, had been bluntly in
v formed that from now on they
would be treated as a defeated
army.
For 10 days after the German
> surrender in Italy on May 12, the
Nazis in Bolzano fraternized with
civilians, dined in restaurants ca
tering almost exclusively to Ger
man soldiers and drove powerful
cars through the streets. Groups of
local youths even goose-stepped
through the streets for three nights
‘•singing Nazi songs.
The situation ended yesterday.
There has been no official explana
tion as to why the Germans were
1 granted so much liberty during the
10-day period.
The United Nations War Crimes
Commission announced that Reichs
Marshal Hermann Goering’s name
was placed on the first list of
war criminals in November, 1944.
Goering recently surrendered to
* !'u. S. Seventh Army troops in
Austria.

ALASKA SOURDOUGH
SEATTLE, May 15.—First Lt. Da

him in a gunny sack on an Alaskan

I brought him 'outside' so he could
go to school," she recalled to inter
viewers.
Lieutenant Bub, an instructor in
cvernead fire at the Arkansas Camp,
was born in Seattle between his
mother’s prospecting expeditions.
“When he was six weeks old.” his
mother said, "I put David, here, in
a gunnysack and away I went <to
her holdings on Dollar Creek, Cook
Inlet). I traveled 35 miles with my
baby and my dog team to get to my
property, and I toted him all over
the country up there. He was known
as The Gunnk Sack Kid,’ and that
was about right."
They were passengers on the
steamship Mariposa when it hit a
reef and sank, 28 years ago. “David
wasn’t three then, but I got off all
right with him and a trunk, and
went right back to the mine."
“The Gunny Sack Kid” jqined the
Army three years ago.
good. She was accompanied on the
piano by Miss Doranne Barnes, who
also played many numbers and all
were enjoyed.
A novelty for the evening's enter
tainment was the sketching of twta

a work of art, and as one serviceman
put It, “I'm taking this home to
show what the Alaskan Girl can
do.”
Roast turkey, baked ham, cakes
and coffee finished off an enjoyable
evening. Many servicemen from
out-of-town attended the party.
