The men, RecruHs George Jones of Owcnsboro. and Clarence R. Hill of Pampn, were tried by an Army court martial on charg- of absence without leave and breaking surest.

The announcement said the sentences are subject to review. The two men strayed across the border from the American occupation zmie of Gennany into Czechoslovakia six months ago and were picked up by Czech authorities, accused them of spying.

In Germany hive in some ways become the prisoners of the conquered. They are suffering a degree at least, the fate of all occupation powers through fate of jecomlng a captive of the people they captured. But the Americans are being captured on a cultural and household level rather than on a military level, by German music, beer and servants rather than by the theories of itz.

This was the Impression gained by corespondents flown here by American Overseas Airlines on a tour of the war It was con firmed by a number of Americans stationed here for the last three years. The hardening of the politica lines between East and West ha brought a softening of the attltud between the individual American and the individual German. Evei combat men who fought across this land four years ago have dropped the word "Icraut," from their vocabulary. The difference that has taken place on social level can perhaps best shown by two parties I attended here three years apart. At a farewell party in 1946 there were some frauleins present, two Russian officers but no German men.

Some newly arrived American wives gave the frauleins the silent treatment all evening. The German orchestra leader taught the crowd to sing a German song, but mosl of the tunes the band played were American. This week the correspondent group went to another party. The band played only two American tunes The Americans sang and danced to German songs. No Russians attend ed the party there was a frau lein or two there and several Ger man men.

The American wive danced gaily with the German me: the struggle for power that on among German wrvunts in her household. "They'll do anything to each other, no matter how petty or cruel, to get a favored Job," he sufd. "And they haven't In ny way lost their desire to dominate. "They show it in small ways. For example, we just bought a young dog.

and I have been trying to train It. If I either praise It or discipline It. I know fhat as soon AS Lurn my back my cook will go to the icebox and get bone lor the dog. And that's the lesson she wants it to learn. I have lived in Germany before and since the war.

In all that time I have never met a German I lelt like throwing my arms around and saying. 'You sweet old thing, They aren't lovable and they haven't changed. And that gives me a hopeless feeling." It isn't much fun to be a conqueror when the guns cease firing and you become a stranger in Living isn't so lusn for Americans and that doesn't want you.
