(UP) — Gen. George S. Patton, even though dead, was right back today where he always liked to be—in the middle of a hot argument. Col. Brenton G. Wallace, a staff officer under "Blood and Guts," has written a book called "Patton and the Third Army", which is sure to burn the army's brass. Wallace claims that Patton was chiefly responsible both for the planning and execution of the famous St. Lo breakthrough, which swept on past Avranches and eventually hurdled all the German armies out of France. Battle plan credit, up until now, has gone uncontested to shrewd Gen-Omar N. Bradley, who later commanded the 12th Army Group, and many experts have laid the brilliant execution of the plan at the door of Lt. Gen. Joseph L. (Lightning Joe) Collins, a corps commander in the First army. But Wallace, who served as assistant chief of staff in G-3 (liaison) for the Third army writes: - * * "The First Army was given credit, whereas General Patton planned it and executed it and used not only First Army troops but also a number of his own Third Army units." Wallace, however, gives Bradley credit for his foresight in placing Patton "in charge of the breakthrough itself." With his Third Army dander really up, the Colonel also charges that the rolling Thirders — presumably after they captured Argentan — were ordered to stop in their tracks and not allowed to close the bloody Falaise gap, which would have trapped the entire German Seventh Army and might have ended the war then and there. "A restraining line was placed along the north of our present positions behind which we were not to move," alliance said. "History may one dayplain this matter more fully."

Allies To Blame For Rise of Nazism Funk Tells Court Robert V.

The rebuilding of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake was so successful, London officials applied to San Francisco officials for guidance in the postwar reconstruction of London. Nuerberg. (UP)—Walther Funk, former Nazi economics minister, told the war crimes court today that the Allied reparations policy after the last war caused Germany's economic collapse, widespread unemployment, and mass dissatisfaction. Funk, testifying in his own defense, sought to put the blame for the rise of Nazism on the Allies. "It was absolute nonsense that Germany should pay tribute on the one hand while on the other the creditor nations should refuse to have the debt paid in the only possible way—by goods and services," Funk said. He blamed the international race to build tariff walls, "especially in America," for the 1929 depression. Funk admitted that he thought Germany's problems "could not have been solved through economic measures alone." He therefore supported the fuhrer principle, he said, because "the democratic parliamentary system was unsuccessful in Germany with no tradition in it." Funk pictured himself as a holder of titles without responsibility in both the economic and propaganda fields. He attributed most of the responsibility to Hitler, but reserved a measure of economic determination for Hermann Goering. The witness admitted that he supported Nazi laws excluding German Jews from cultural life, since he regarded them as a "pernicious influence—non-German and not artistic, especially in the fields of painting and music."
