Tommy Hembree Is
.KenneWick'S First
War Casualty
Mother receives word
that navy considers
him lost in action

Thomas Hembree. apprentice sea
man, is Kennewick'S first casualty
in the Jap war. Word was received
yesterday by his mother, Mrs. Eliza
beth Hembree, from the navy de-
partment.
Tommy" was killed, apparently,
in the raid on December z at Pearl
Harbor. While the information is
not definite, a paragraph in the let
ter from the department states:
There have been several conflicting
reports concerning your son, and
after a complete investigation Of the
known dead, wounded and missing,
your son could not be located. Ow-
ing to the time which has now
elapsed without your son having
been reported aboard any other YES
sci or activity, the Department is
now reluctantly forced to the con-
clusion that he was lost in the dis
aSter on December T."
Tommy was serving aboard the u.
S. S. Curtiss at the time Of the
Japanese air raid on Pearl Harbor.
He enlisted in August and had writ
ten his mother about enjoying his
experiences, but craving for action.
She received the letter several weeks
after the attack and had presumed
that he had escaped.
Tommy was born in Kennewick
and spent his entire life here and
attending the local schools. He was
well known and well liked and his
name will long be remembered as
Kennewick's first sacrifice in the
terrible conflict.

DETROIT, May 2-tF-Johm
S. Bugas, agent in charge of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation

ed States at Detroit, was captur-

Tex.
Krug. the FBI agent said, re-
gistered at a small San Antonio
Hotel whose owner became sus-
picious and called police. The
fugitive Nazi made no attempt
to resist, Bugas said, when two
FBI men and two San Antonio
detectives burst into his room.
Krug escaped from a prison
camp at Bowmanville, Ont, on
April Is with Erich Bohle, an
other German flier. Bohle was
recaptured at Niagara Falls, N.
Y, but Krug made his way to
Windsor, Ont, where he stole q
small boat and rowed across tho
Detroit river.
FBI agents said the flier went
to the home of Mrs. Marguerite
Bertelmann, who communicated
with Max Stephan, operator Of Z
restaurant on Detroit's east side>
Stephan, German native who .
a natura.ized American citf1sn,
was quoted b. FIJI agents ~
saying he fed Krug, gave him
money, took him on a round OF
beer gardens and finally, on
Sunday, April 10, put him on =
bus for Chicago. Stephan is held
under $4,000 bond on charges
of harboring an enemy alien.
Bugas said that from papers
found in Krug's possession at
San Antonio, agents learned
that he had gone to Chicago and
from there to the East Coast, be-
