FRIDAY, OCT. 6, 1944.THE MEilA WEEKLY HERALDVogue Features MexiaPrisoner of War Camp(Editor’s Note: The followingarticle about the Mexia Prisoner of War Camp was printed in the October 1 Vogue.” It was written by Mary Jean Kempner, Vogue's associate feature editor, of whom the nationally popular fashionmagazine said: ‘'One hard and almost fast rule of the War Department concerning prisoners of warheld in the United States is that■no female press representatives are allowed to visit prisoner-of-war camps. This rule has been broken twice, once for Miss Kempner, whose article in full is herewith re-printed in full because oflocal interest in the camp.).Twenty minutes the jeep escort atafter meetingthe viaduct. 1found myself seated beside the Colonel in the Officers' Mess.

This international contract governs all phases of prisoner-of-war life.Means ter End Camp authorities said, according to a representative of the Protective Power (the Swiss, who periodically visit prisoner-of-war camps here and abroad), that the United States is probably doing “four times as much for the Bcche at the Germans do for U.

JThere is no ‘fraternizing among the three groups. Each compound is divided into companies headed by German company leaders and American company commanders; over them ’is the German compound spokesman, or “fuehrer” and the American compound commander. Ail ordersand negotiations are ’carried out through these men.The U.
