Ex-Nazi Youth Happy
Now As U.S. Airman
NEWARK, N. .1. tP) A
youth who soldiered for Hitler in
World War II has realized his "two
wildest hopes" to be an Amer
ican citizen and to serve Uncle
Sam's air force.
Karlhcnz Waidman, 23, was
rushed from a German officer can
didate school to the front lines on
the Rhine when he was just 18
years old. But during seven
weeks as a prisoner of war in the
United Slates he became im
pressed with the American way of
life.
Back in Germany, he wrote to
an uncle, Joseph Mohler of Belle
ville, N. J , and asked to live with
him.
His final citizenship papers were
granted July 7. And Wednesday he
was sworn into the air force "with
the opportunity to become a pilot
my boyhood dream."

To Make Report
P. W. Williams of the Williams
Construction Co. of Tigard was
fined $100 and given a sentence
of 90 days in jail, when found
guilty of failure to make the quar
terly report on employment and
pay rolls to the State Unemploy
ment Compensation commission.
The jail term was suspended con
tingent upon his making future
reports when due.
Justice of Peace E. .1. Finley
of Tigard handed down the ruling
afier a hearing on a complaint
filed by C. Russell Morgan of
Hillsboro, district attorney of
Washington county. The charge
was brought only after Williams
failed to respond to three sub
poenas and after several calls by
the commission's auditors.
Similar charges are being held
in abeyance against several otner
employers over the state from
whom the commission's represen
tatives have had difficulty in se
1 curing reports, it was said at the
hearing. Under the unemployment
law as enacted in 1935, reports

Bomb Dispersal Plan
! Launched By President
WASHINGTON UP) Key
agencies are to be scattered well
outside Washington so a single
atomic bomb won't kayo the na
tion's government.
President Truman started a dis
persal plan going yesterday in ask
ing Congress for $139,800,000 to
build four office centers "within
commuting distance of Washing
ton," probably about 35 miles
away. I
Most important government de- j
clustered in an area of two square
miles along the Potomac river's
banks.
This is only th first portion of
what Mr. Truman called a "long
range plan to insure the continuity
of essential functions of govern
ment in event of emergency."
Eventually it is planned to have
perhaps a dozen or more such fed
eral agency centers ringing the
capital from a safe distance.
