CHARGE FINGERPRINT FEE
State Police Will Charge NOmin-
al Fee for Defense F'ingerprints

Precautions which are being TAX
en- by manufacturing plants and
other businesses to keep their en-
ployment rolls free of undesirables
in the national defense production
program has necessitated new
policy of charging a nominal fee
for fingerprinting by the state po-
lice. The amount of the charge,
Superintendent Norman r. Purnell
said, has not yet been fixed. One
of the outcomes of the policy which
has been approved by the State
Highways Commission, will be en-
ployment of civilian help to aid in
the rush for fingerprinting The re-
quest of one company alone, Super
intendent Purnell cited, would re-
quire from four to six weeks alone
for filing and classifying of the
fngerprints of its employees, num-
boring between 1900 and 1900.
The fingerprinting not only entails
considerable expense but the police
staff is inadequate to handle the
requests for fingerprinting now be-
ing made in wholesale numbers as
plants go forward in the national
defense production program.

Nazis Picked Weak Spot
OF Line Guarding Greece

accounts for the fact that not a
single Greek house was scratched
over the whole 75-mile distance to
Salonika over the Struma River
valley.
This valley greatly resembles
the Imperial Valley Of California.
II is now filled with footlooSe,
hungry Greek soldiers. released by
orders of Chancellor Hitler himself
TO 90 home and tend their fields
and return 10 their jobs.
HEART OF SYSTEM
counted 30 bunkers drilled out
of solid rock on each side OF the
Struma River valley. They were
fully equipped with telephones,
hospitals, living quarters and other
refnements and equaled anything
l have seen on the Maginot Line.
These keypoints in the Metaxas
Line formed the heart OF the
Greek defense system in the east.
One section of the MetaXas Line
I inspected was 80 feet deep. II
was equipped with deep, long tun-
nels at the rear to permit escape.
The road down the Struma
River valley and the river itself
were everywhere barred by waves
of anti-tank barricades and mine
fields.
Following the trail from Berlin
to Mount Olympus. we soon
ached spraying Salonika
through a squalid backyard lined

with rows of novels and shacks.
We found the Aegean city OF
Salonika unhurt. its streets teem-
ing like New York's east side,
with swarthy crowds smelling
strongly of garlic.
The Nazi swastika flew from a
marble-fronted bank building fac
ing the sea. across which we could
clearly see snoW-capped Mount
Olympus.
The British fled from Salonika
April 6.
The Germans arrived on April g.
But il was difficult to get exact
data from the natives of Salonika,
who seemed unconcerned which
flag rules Salonika.
Swarms of shoe shine boys
pounce on any arrival and the
peddlers of Salonika can sell garlic
in any language.

STAKE ALL ON LINE

The Greeks made the French
mistake of stalking all on a single
line although the Metaxas Line
was moi meant so much 10 hold
the Germans as il was 10 hold
back the Yugoslavs, the Bulgari-
ans and the Hungarians.
These three countries must have
long ago felt out the strength OF
the Metaxas Line against them
and it is therefore easy TO figure
out why they never moved against
it. But the Metaxas Line proved
10 be no barrier at all to the tried
NaZi panZer units.
En- route to Athens I took a
good look at the natural. rock
ribbed mountain cliffs and the
gun-studded bunkers of the Me-
taxas Line barring the passage
down the narrow Struma River
valley. A small single-track rail-
way and narrow 12-foot road
wind their way from the Bulgarian
side OF the frontier into Greece.
A small stream, broken barrier
and Bulgarian sentry marked
the frontier.
Beyond a shell-pitted observa-
ton post in a brick shed, rose the
huge mountain humps Of Greece
like skyscraper pyramids, tier
upon tier.
