This was announced by Brig.
Gen. Raymond Olson, acting ad

Benefit Cited
Stressing the importance of
national guard training as a post
war project, Gen. Olson pointed
out that a planned raise in pay
for the organization would bene
fit the community. A huge and
diversified program will make
possible instruction in more
branches of services than pre
vious to the war.
Just what branches will be
represented in Oregon will not
be known until allotments are
released from Washington. Ore

ment will be available for train

Landlady Beats Up
On Bulb Snatcher
Louisville, Ky. (U.R) City
Police Judge John Brachey may
not condone "bulb snatching,"
but neither does he sanction
jaw-pounding and hair-pulling as
a fitting punishment for the
"crime."
Mrs. .Marie Spellman stated In
police court that her landlady,
Mrs. Bertha Edwards, struck her
on the jaw and pulled her hair
after accusing her of removing
a 150-watt electric-light bulb
from the basement of her apart
ment house and burning it in
the kitchen.
The judge fined Mrs. Edwards
$5.

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.
