WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-(P-Senator

W. Gdunewald's "highly confiden
tial Job with the office of alien
property custodian during World
War II.
Grunewald, a Washington man
of mystery known as The Dutch
man," is a key Witness in a house
committee's investigation of tax
scandals. He refused to testify be

Grunewald was a special investi
gator for the alien property custo
dian from Jan. 12, 1942, through
Feb. 22, 1943.
The senator said Grunewald had
"tremendous power" in that spot,
that the records showed he had
authority to represent and speak
for the custodian at directors' and
stockholders' meetings of alien
owned corporations sei ed by the
government during the war.
Citing complaints that the alien
property office has been "a super
gravy train" for some people,
Wiley is pressing for a congres
sional probe of its activities.
Grunewald' connection with the
office, which handled more than
300 million dollars worth of ene
my assets, was turned up by Wiley
during his preliminary investigation.
REPAIR SHOP ON WHEELS
CHICAGO - G"P-It seems to be
a comparatively easy matter to
make automobiles and electronics
work together. A local company
has put complete repair facilities
in each of three panel trucks,
turning them into what amounts
to rolling laboratories for house-to-house
servicing of television
receivers.
Isolated Town
Gets Television
The Hard Way
HAZARD, Ky.-i-In spite of
the surrounding Kentucky hills
which hinder reception, local in
genuity has brought television to
this community of 10,000 popula
tion. Located in a natural bowl, the
Hazard residents nonetheless lick
ed their problem by building a
large tower atop a 1,000-ft. hill
and stringing house-to-house co
axial lead-ins. They carved a road
to within 200 feet of the peak.
Materials were toted the rest of
the way by hand.
The TV cables were run down
the hillside from the tower, strung
along poles of the local utilitv
company and fed into the homes of
set owners. This gives Hazard re
ception from two TV stations in
Cincinnati and one in Huntington,
W.Va., the nearest of which is 90
airline miles away.

A logjam of thousands of
stranded -service men- manv from
Korea was broken yesterday,
and most, of them made it-home
for Christmas. -
The military assigned some spe
cial planes to get the anxious
fmsn .home. Bad weather lifted
also to permit a steadier flow of
commercial airliners.
; There were still long, heart
breaking delays. But reports front
coast to coast indicated that most
If not all of the men finally got
home.
The air force flew stranded sol
diers out of San Francisco and
Burbank, Calif., and Oklahoma
City. Six New York airlines added
22 extra sections to break a pas
senger jam that included many
servicemen.
Fog, flight mixups and the an
Aual Christmas travel rush were
blamed for the weekend tieup.
Free of Fog
More than 4,000 veterans from
Korea finally were shaken free
of fog- in a 60-plane air force
ferry out of San Francisco.
The pilot not Identified by
name reportedly told the GI's
this is the end of -the line. Then
he put them off and left them
waiting for another transport that
never arrived.
The Red Cross put 32 of the
travelers on buses. But the other
17 held out for plane trios.
Tinker air force base in Okla
homa City got busy and arranged
for transportation. All the men
got away today.
Said Traffic Manager C. A.
Troxel of Trans-Continental in
Los Angeles:
"It's just one of those things."
He said the men would get a
refund.
Hopes Dashed
Home - by - Christmas hones of
some 1,500 veterans of the Korean
fighting were dashed at San
Francisco yesterday.
But commercial, chartered and
military planes rushed scores of
others to their families.
The 1,521 army, navy and air
force men who reached San Fran
cisco before dawn aboard the
transport Gen. Edwin D. Patrick
learned it will be Christmas night
There was more hope for overseas-
veterans already processed.
