Mystery Solved

/ the house. Homer and | decided we
would not call in any doctors. You
see, We know too much about medi-
cine. Doctors would remove Homer's
optic nerve, and he would be blind
forever, and they would treat his
rheumatism with drugs that would
shorten Homers life.
mo, we decided to do 1t our own
way-by diet and rest"
He said they weren't bothered
by the lack of gas, which was cut
off in 1923, and by the lack of
telephone. He had put together the
parts of an old automobile motor
so it would generate electricity. but
he used kersene for cooking and
lighting 1t was easier.
Vandals have broken the win
dows of the house, and he has
boarded them up But Collyer said
the perpetual gloom wasn't annoy
ing; he rather liked it and his
brother didn't need light,
Lewis asked him whether he
would like to see the Herald Tri-
bune building. Collyer said he would
and spent several hours inside, dis
cussing photography, typesetting
and printing.
Having forgotten about the buns,
Lewis took him home in taxi. Col
YER apologized for not being able
20 invite Lewis in,
Forgive me, but I cant invite
you in," he said. The house is too
upset. All those thousands of news
papers and those pianos.
He said he was saving newspapers
30 his brother could catch up with
the news when he recovered his
sight. AS for the pianos, Il used
to be in the piano business and I
sort of ended up by taking quite
a few into the house.
Collyer said he WIS willing to
make a settlement with the bank,
and the bank said it would gladly
reopen negotiations. Another bank
revealed that Homer Coll"er had
had $500 on deposit there since
1897. and his mother. who died
years ago, had $400 in a savings
account.

Hostesses in Army
Must Meet Rigid
New Requirements

WASHINGTON. Aug. 7-UPo =
You'll have to be good to become
an army hostess or librarian.
Henceforth all women accepted
for such posts must be college grad
yates, have professional experience,
and meet age, moral and health re-
quirements.
Gone are the days, apparently,
when mother, wife or sister of an
cid army man may become a camp
hostess merely because she is famil-
lar with post life The new regu-
lations are strictly essential.
A hostess must be bonded for at
least ST 900 because she is respon-
sible for the money and property
of service clubs. S.ome service clubs
serve as many as 5000 persons daily
AT soda fountains, snack counters
and cafeterias
SHE RENTS ROOMS
HoStesSes also manage so-Called
hostess houses at army posts
where visiting relatives and friends
OF enlisted men may obtain rooms
| for so cents a night
Hostesses direct social and well
fare activities and conduct an in
formation clearing house for SOL
diers on religious, social, education
al and recreational events.
Army librarians supervise camp
libraries and travelling libraries.
Through the book purchasing power
they decide whether Private John
Doe shall read Tolstoy's War and
Peace" or the Gypsy Rose Lee
murder mysteries.
| Age limits set recently by the
army are 1880 for corps area Ii
braraians: 25-40 for camp librar-
ians 3O-45 for senior hostesses; 25-
40 for junior hostesses. and 25-4O
for cafeteria hostesses.

OF the war production board today

no criticism of Nelson personally,
but said the WPB chairman's "in-
Competent associates should be
eliminated in the interests of "in-
tegration of the whole war pro-
gram He mentioned no names.
Truman'S remarks we're made as
the committee began an inquiry into
the steel shortage and the accomp-
anying BLACK market" operations.
Earlier this week the Missouri SEN
ator had levelled charges at the
nayy's bureau of ships, accusing
tnat agency of negligence or wilful
misconduct" in the handling of a
program of building secret inva-
sion equipment.
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox
asked the senate naval affairs COM
mittee to investigate those charges
Trumans remarks about WIPE
were made while the committee
was questioning Reese Taylor. chief
of the WPB iron and steel branch.
Truman repeatedly has charged that
WPB steel policy lis absolutely dom-
mated by big steel companies"

NEW RED ATTACKS
The new Russian attacks against
the Nazis' Rzhev salient about $50
miles west of Moscow and around
Bolkhov, which lies between Lake
linen and Lenmgrad, was acknow-
ledged in German official broad
casts but Russian ccmmuniques thus
far have not mentioned them.
Allied observers in London, how

were striking in force in both north

power, tanks, and planes have been
reduced to a dangerous minimum
so that Adolf Hitler might 90 all

1897. After the Netherlands
surrender, unemployment rose to
100000. Suddenly these jobless
men and women found them
selves confronted, in their
homeland, by German Labor
representatives"
l. There is no need for you to
freeze and starve," said these
Nazi agents in effect. There's
plenty of work to be done. Just
sign on the dotted line" With
no alternative to slow, certain
death, many of these vanquished
unemployed signed - for stated
jobs at stated salaries within
the Reich.
The Netherlands case is typ
ical of other countries.
The Nazi treatment of the new
French voluntary workers" will
probably follow long-establish-
ed pattern. When foreign work.
ers arrive in Germany, they
are quartered in community
barracks. eat at community
tables. When they live out, or
their work requires them to
eat out, they are fed roughly
the equivalent allowed German
workers.
A percentage of their pay
checks is held out for room and
board; from the remainder, the
workers apportion money to be
sent home at regular intervals.
What is left, if any, may be
spent lat will" - if there's any
thing to be bought.
Arrival of these unwilling
strangers never seems to have
any outwardly visible effect ex-
cept to add the color of foreign
faces and languages to the 9TH
erwise undistinguished crowds
in German cities.
Even before Americas entry
into the war, let alone the cur
rent demands on France, French
and Italian workers were the
ones most commonly seen in
Berlin. Now this is undoubtedly
even more true.

These French prisoners Of war,
released by the Germans in ex-
change for three times their
number in skilled labOrers. seem
pleased with their share of the
bargain as they arrive at Macon,
in unoccupied France.
In addition to the war prison
ers, there are probably two mil
lion other workers in the Reich
who volunteered" to leave their
homelands to take jobs there.
How voluntary" is this recruit
ing? An even better example
than the current French one
(where less than 10 per cent of
the number demanded has been
found) may be found in the
Netherlands.

Jean Crafts, Berlin cor
respondent for NEA Service
until the United States de-
clared war on Germany, wrote
the informative article below
from his long. firsthand OBJ
servation of the attitude of the
Nazis toward labor "volun-
teers" from conquered nations.
By JEAN CRAFTS
NEA Service staff Correspondent
The Nazis' current demands
for 10000 French specialists to
volunteer" for work in Ger
many is not only an effort to
solve Germany's casualty-caused
labor shortage, but Is also an at
tempt to take another step to-
wards Hitler's long-proclaimed
goal - feudal system for Eu-
rope in which non-Germans are
slaves of the Nazi masters.
Today probably more than
four million men and women,
the overwhelming majority OF
them from countries conquered
by the Nazis, are in Germany,
forced to work at jobs which boil
ster the Third Reich's war efforts
and therefore lessen their own
countries chances of regaining
freedom.
USE WAR PRISONERS
AS BAIT FOR LABOR
These workers fall into two
nearly equal groups. One half
are prisoners of war, men who
during the last three years
were in the armies opposing
Germany. These prisoners are
especially useful to the Nazis
for bargaining purposes, as wit
ness the current offer to free one
French captive for every three
French workers who volunteer"
to 60 to Germany.
Prisoners of war are useful to
Germany as workers, as well.
They have been put to various
productive jobs, including, es-
pecially in the case Of the Rus
slams, open construction and
road building.
