DIXON With the A. E. F. in Occupied Germany, June 10. OP) The chief jailer of Hamelin town (spelled Hameln in these parts) has his feet comfortably propped upon the desk, while his assistant sits in a nearby chair twirling his billy club.

The chief was saying to his right-hand man: "Boy, if the folks back in Parkers-burg, W. could only see me now!" Then he looked up when this Eighty-fourth division reporter entered and told him he was looking for news. The chief is Sergeant Clarence Hackett and his assistant is Private First Class Albert Gentile, Inwood, Long Island, N. Y. Both having been formerly occupied solely in the somewhat hazardous industry of eliminating my infantrymen, they were obviously pleased at their good fortune in falling into this job.

"The prisoners wash the floors," Hackett explained expansively. "We teach them to do it like we scrubbed the barracks back in the states. If they don't do it right the first time they do it again. The damn floors have been scrubbed three times already today." He jangled two keys on a mammoth ring. "The keys to the city," he said idly, breathing on his fingernails and nonchalantly polishing them on his shirtfront.

Yes, he admitted things are pretty good right now, everything considered. He pointed out that while business was "lousy," that was the way it was supposed to be around properly operated jails. He added that he would sure like to have his friends in West Virginia see him laying down the law around here. He said that a couple of more times, as though trying to convince somebody, and when nobody argued with him he finally admitted he'd rather be back home eating some of his mother's cherry pie. Private Gentile, who up to now had maintained the discreet silence of a diplomatic deputy, admitted his nickname was "Gentle," an unimaginative offshoot of his last name.

The chief interrupted to say Gentile had been anything but gentle behind a carbine in combat. "He makes a good man for the job," he said approvingly. "I kind of like this business I'm Ships ond planes from Okinawa bases rf! could support Allied invasion of China oop or Japan itself. Some of the reasons for Japan's suicidal fight to prevent capture of Okinawa, are illustrated by the map above. From Okinawa bases, United States air forces can largely isolate Japan proper from the Chinese mainland, cutting off large numbers of troops and depriving war industries of raw materials from Asia.

Allied bombers and mine-sowing planes can continually disrupt sea traffic between Asia and Japan water routes that are the enemy's real lifeline to China, to Korea (through which war products from Manchuria pass by rail) and to Manchuria, vitally Important for its resources.

Class A Grid Setup Outlined Great Falls, June 10, MV-Divl slon of nine Montana class A schools into east and west districts to play football on a new five-yenr rotation plan was announced Sun day by Armln Jahr, vice president of the Montana High School as sociation.

The class A setup was devised by Jahr and Professor Walter T. Scott of Butte, director of Montana high school football, after a consulta' tlon with grid conches. Similar in design to the rotation football program adopted for the six cluss A schools, the plan Is effective this fall. The districts were divided as follows: Western district Bozeman, Livingston, Butte Central, Kallspell and Havre. Eastern district Glen-dive, Lewistown, Glasgow and Miles City.

The program requires each class A football team to play four conference games two at home and two away. Each team must make a short and a long trip. Livingston will play teams In both districts as it is considered a "border line" case geographically. If teams from both the eastern and western districts win respective section titles, they will play for the class A title regardless of whether they met during the regular conference season. "This setup appears to be the solution to a tough football situation in the state," Jahr remarked.

"Distance makes scheduling difficult, but tho rotation system will make the schedule for the nine schools uniform and balanced." Class A conference games, he said, must start the last week In Sep tember and all games should be played by the last week in October, The A title is to be decided in the second week of November in a match between district champs. Under the 1046 schedule, the opening games in the fourth week in September are Bozeman at Kali-spell, Havre at Butte Central and Lewistown at Miles City, Hoop, Heads For Preakness Louisville, June 10. P) Hoop, galloping winner of the Battered Brooklyn Fan Has 'Lippy Leo' Arrested New York, June 10. (U.R) Fiery-tempered Leo Durocher, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was arrested Sunday on a charge that he attacked John Christian, a Brooklyn fan who chided him after Saturday night's game with the Philadelphia Phillies for the manner in which he ran the team. Christian, suffering from a possible fracture of the Jaw, a contusion of the eye, and a bruise on the forehead, was taken to Kings (Brooklyn) County hospital for treatment.

Durocher and Special Policeman Joseph Moore, who also was said to have Joined the fray, were released on $1,000 bail shortly before 6:30 p. m. by County Judge Samuel S. Liebowitz. Owner Branch Rickey of the Dodgers, frequently critical of Du rocher's temperamental outbursts which have caused him to be the most-frequently-fined manager in the major leagues, would not comment on the incident.

on Nelson Captures Meet Ste. Dorothee, Quebec, June 10. (U.R) Byron Nelson of Toledo, Ohio, won first money Sunday in the $10,000 Canadian open golf meet, finishing 10 strokes ahead of Harold (Jug) McSpaden with' a 72-hole total of 268, 20 under par for the distance. Nelson won $2,000 first money and McSpaden received $1,400 as his share. McSpaden's 278 was five better than the score of Joe Zar-hardt, Norristown, pro, whose 283 total gave him third money of $1,000.

The sentimental favorite of the tournament, Ed Furgol, a Detroit mailman who plays with prewar cut-rate drug store balls, carded a 284 to lead the amateurs and finish fourth in the open competition. Jimmy Hines of Great Neck, N. recovered after a pair of bad rounds and finished with 287 to take fifth place and fourth money of $800, Joe Kirkwood, trick shot artist from Chicago, and Stan Home, home pro at the Islemere layout, tied for the next spot with 290s, winning $700 apiece. Jules Huot, little pro from Montreal's Laval-Sur-Le-Lac club, won $600 with a final total of 202, while another Canadian, Bill Kerr, pro from Toronto's Cedarbrae club, picked up $500 for his 205. Nelson, who opened the tournament by setting a course record of 63, nine strokes under par, never was threatened in the four days of competition.

He had a 68 Sunday, a 69 Saturday and a 68 on Friday. McSpaden picketl up one stroke on him Sunday by carding a flve-under-par 67, his best round. His irons were working flawlessly and his putting was considerably improved. Off-field Reflections By THOR SEVERSON There are two things, at least, in which Montana and Colorado are similar their weather and their baseball. The weather is the same in both states wet.

In baseball programs there is a similarity between Denver and Billings. There are only slight differences, chief among them is that Denver's program, naturally, is much larger, but then, Denver is by far a larger town. The idea seems to be the same to get boys out on sandlots and ball parks, to give them something constructive for vacation time.

Congress Irked By Absenteeism Washington, June 10. gressional "absenteeism" is becoming a major headache of the Democratic leadership in the house of representatives. And, unless something is done about it, many members believed the time soon will arrive when business sessions of the house will have to be limited to three days a week Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Supposed to be enjoying their largest working majority in years.

Democrats find themselves with a majority of votes but a minority of voters when the need for them arises The seriousness of the absentee problem was emphasized last week when the Democratic leadership unsuccssfully tried to halt a Republican drive to chop the funds of the office of war information. The Republicans chalked ud a victory largely because almost 100 absentees were Democrats The OWI case was typical of oth ers in recent months. Because there seldom are any defections from their ranks, Republicans are not bothered seriously by an absentee problem. With the Democratic membership of 242 it's another story. Invariably a score or more Democrats "bolt," increasing the opposition strength.

What to do about it is a problem that has Democratic leaders wor-j ried. I Okinawa Priest Aids Americans Chinen Peninsula, Okinawa, June 10. (U.R) An Okinawa priest, who talked hundreds of Chinen civilians into surrendering to American forces before he was shot and wounded by two Japanese soldiers, Sunday won the thanks of several high-ranking American officers. Convincing the civilians on this mountainous arm of land south of Yonabaru to surrender is a tough problem for the Americans. But more and more are surrendering.

The priest, carrying a Japanese Bible, brought hundreds of civilians out of hiding before being shot three times in the shoulder by Japanese soldiers. "You must be a traitor trying to maice us surrender," they screeched at the priest. However, the priest now is recuperating and has received the personal thanks of the American leaders. The peninsula definitely was a civilian stronghold. Only a few troops were found most of them scattered in only partially completed deiense positions.

Lieutenant Emmett L. Tiner's Seventh reconnaissance troops, who spent the last week in mopping up the peninsula, reported that only a few army stragglers were found in scanty and hastily made positions. Tiner said that his outfit due civilians out from many pitifully small caves. Twenty were found in one cave 20x10 feet and only four feet high. The process of convincing civilians they will not be killed if they leave the caves is a slow job.

One officer said it was a real ceremony. First you find an old man who speaks Japanese as well as Okinawan and who will volunteer to help bring out the others. Then the ceremonv reallv beeins. The old man sits in a circle with several others, whom he coaxes from caves and they all talk it over as! tney had all the time in the world which they have. Finally the women and children begin filing out into the daylight-one by one and most of them with babies strapped to their backs and many balancing bundles or baskets on their heads.
