Trtasury Vtfarimtui BUS LINE SEIZURE TO MOVE SOLDIERS SEEN POSSIBILITY Portland, Ore., Dec. 19 (U.R) Government seizure of the strike-bound Overland Grey hound lines to break a bottle neck for stranded servicemen was a strong possibility today after conversations between army representatives, drivers and employers. A traffic jam which is holding servicemen aboard ships and preventing their return home for Christmas was given as the reason for the predicted govern ment seizure. Harold Oathes, business agent of the Drivers' Union, said he was advised by a spokesman for the transport command, 0th service command, Fort Douglas, Utah, that he had talked to Pres ident R. J. Walsh of the com pany, in an effort to get the buses rolling again, at least for the holidays. . In his talks with Wheeler, the spokesman said the army was also seeking transportation for several thousand prisoners of war it wants to send home soon as possible. Failure of 192 drivers In the division west of Salt Lake City to Portland to report for work during a wage dispute which be gan Oct. 1 prompted tho officer's action, it was said. Naples (U.R) Like New York's Dead-end residents, the "cave dwellers' of this once-beautiful city live in dank squaller a stone's throw from the most elite residential section. Holed up like animals deep In the vermin-infested caves under the beautiful homes of the Vom ero summits, hundreds of home less families constitute Naples' most urgent challenge to j UNRRA authorities, the Knights j of Malta are trying to acquire pre-fnbricated buildings left by : the American and British! ar- ! mies, where they can disinfect, ! treat and house the cave dwel lers. ! Wearing odd scraps of tatter- i ed clothing, sleeping on rags in i cold, dampness and filth, these families average four to six chil dren. In one cave, 41 families are living. One-third of the women are pregnant. Mean-1 while trachoma is attacking the eyes of many children who are ' approaching blindness with lit- tie or no medical attention. j The caves contain no furnl- i ture except crude narrow; benches which ' represent beds. Pools of water stand on the slip- I pery dirt floors. In an attempt ' at self-government, each group ! of cave dwellers has appointed a portiere, who knows names of all occupants and where they i can be found in the dark. I At daybreak the cave dwellers ' rush eagerly into the sun and spend the day begging or collect ing food by any means they j can lind. Despite their squalid living conditions, they have shown re sentment against relief agencies prying into their lives. But UNRRA is determined to end the Neapolitans' era of cave dwclling as rapidly as possible to check the threat of disease.
