George E. Pat-| ton, was the center of many a; controversy before he died. But to- day the War Department is sull, sitting on one of the hottest of | Patton’s hot potatoes—the Gener-| al'c secret diary. | Only a few people in the Warj rtment and the Patton family | Jknew it, but the famous General Xkept,a careful diary all during thei Normandy campaign, jotting down his frank comments about the Al-! Jies and even about his superior officers. Some of the comments just about burned up the page. General Patton especially paid! his compliments to the famous British Field Marshal, Montgomery, whom he criticized with almost the same bluntness as the soldier in the Sicilian hospital whom he slap- ped. "Patton felt that Montgomery was entirely too slow and cautious, and that the war could have been won months earlier if the British had been willing to take the same losses as Americans. Only fcur coples of the diary are in existence and the War Depart- ment to date has frowned upon publication. Should it ever see the light of day, the American public will probably read -some crisp com- ments regarding Patton’s lightning rush across France almost to the ‘porder of Germany and the real reason he had to stop. Official explanation at the time was that he had run out of gaso- line. However, it will be shown that the real reason was General Eisen- hower’s decision to wait for the ‘slower British. Marshal Montgom- ery had not yet decided to move, and it was not considered politic fo leave this famous Field Mar- shal ‘so far behind. 'PATTON FAMILY SAYS NO Qeneral Patton also has some eaustic things to say about General Eisenhower and the whole SHAEF operations. . Another phase of Patton’s his- tory which should make significant reading is the manner in which he crossed the Rhine on March 22, 1945, establishing a bridgehead of d“ht miles in the space of a few short hours. This operation, ac- complished with only one small | record ot | stay there until peace treaties offi- | i | President, reported for that g!oup.g NOIED ExplORER, | .army and few casualties, attracted little attention in the press.

BARTLETI, | NEW YORK, April 29.--Robert {Abram (Captain Bob) Bartlett, 70, |of Admiral Robert E. Peary in his| 11909 discovery of the North Pole | [and who “commuted” to the Arctic i{for 40 years, died here yesterday. { Capt. Bartlett never reached the Pole himself—although he took | | Peary within dog-sled distance of it. | He first achieved fame as skip- | per of the vessel on which Admir- |al Peary sailed for his historic trip | to the Pole. The dash to the Pole {was made with the aid of a series of supporting parties, the last of | which was commanded by Bartlett. In the winter of 1913-14, Bartlett was the central figure in an Arctic disaster which came close to cut- ting short his career when he went with the explorer Vilhjalmur Stef- jansson tnrough the Bering Straits. Bartlett's ship was crushed to piec- | es by ice floes, but he led his paity to safety on an island, and then | made a perilous journey across the |ice and down the Siberian Main-| {land for help—1,000 miles away. KNOWN ON COAST | SEATTLE, April 29—Capt. Ro- bert A. (Bob) Bartlett was well- known among seafarers and fisher- men who have spent much time in! the waters around Alaska. Bartlett visited here twice in the course of his career as an Arctic specialist. He spent several weeks there in 1924 while preparing the famed old Coast Guard Cutter Bear for a trip to the coasts of the i Bering Sea to lay out possible air routes. In April 1928 he went, to Alaska | |and the Siberjan Arctic on a search | for traccs of early man.
