...officials, came pots of trouble. His ears had scarcely finished burning from attacks on the expense and political tone of Victory, the de luxe glamor magazine designed to sell the U.S. to the world as a kind of Hollywood 3,000 miles square, when his sprawling OWI issued a cartoon booklet on the life of President Roosevelt, also designed for distribution abroad. A U.S. soldier sent a copy to New York's Republican Congressman John Taber. Mr. Taber, who has a low irritation point, was moved to cry: "Purely political propaganda, designed entirely to promote a fourth term...
Cross word puzzles, short wave radio programs, games, notes entitled Strictly G.I., a cartoon strip "Sad Sack," and a column of letters (only opening for officer contributions) are by now popular features.

Education for Death is Walt Disney's distillation of Ziemer's survey to a nine-minute cartoon-a sort of Pinocchio in reverse. Little Hans is educated into a heiling, marching puppet, at last becomes a wooden cross marker in a vast military cemetery. Funniest bit: a Nazified fairy tale, in which the handsome, armored Prince (Hitler) wakes the rotund, snoozing Princess (Germany) with a kiss, lugs her away on a white horse to a boozy version of Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries. Most pointed bit: little Hans is punished for sympathizing with a fabled rabbit...
