Plant Errand Boy
Works Full Time
Does Al Kinds of Chores for
1000 Workers.

MILWAUKEE,. - American ef-
ficiency has made Charles Boeshaar
errand boy for 1000 men.
A friend, employed by the Wiscon-
sin Motor corporation, told Bosnian
that all workers had to secure their
birth certificates to continue work
ing in defense plant.
The Milwaukeean realized that
many hours would be lost searching
for birth certificates that might be
spent on tie war effort. He APP
preached company officials and Of
fered to obtain the certificates, point
ing out the time that would be
saved. They lost no time in making
such a job for him.
Boeshaar spent several days on
the task. Soon hard-pressed shop
workers asked that he get their
automobile license plates, pay bills,
do countless odd jobs that would
allow employees more time for war
production.
During the income tax rush he
prepared more than 500 returns. He
made up more than 900 identified
ton buttons and though no check
was kept on the hours he saved for
the workers, one official recently
said: II wish we had more fellows
like you"
Only job Boeshaar could not do
for the men was to get permission
for recapping tires. The men were
entitled to recaps as defense work
ers, but the No. l errand boy was
unable to secure blanks from the
rationing boards
"They won't and can't give me
blanks for the men to fill out" says
Boeshaar. 1.-The men must appear
themselves"
Boeshaar believes that his task is
unique and hopes that other fac
tories will adopt the plan, save time
for employees and help boost ma
terial output.

New Iron Ore Field to
Be Opened in Minnesota

SPRING VALLEY, MINN.-A new
iron ore mine field soon will be
opened in Minnesota, which already
produces 80 per cent of the nations
vital iron ore supply.
Heretofore, Minnesota's iron ore
has come from ranges in the north
ern part of the state, but the new
feld-of low grade ore-is being
opened in Fillmore county, in the
southeast corner of Minnesota.
Mining operations are expected to
begin soon, and officials of the com
pany developing the field predict
that 10000 tons of ore will be re-
moved this summer.
c. S. Whitaker, vice president of
the company, said the ore will be
shipped to Granite City, ILL.,, for
processing.
Iron ore first was discovered in
this area in 1880 when extensive
plans were laid for mining opera
tons. Depression years followed and
the plans were dropped, but the war
need for iron ore led the companies
to start exploratory work last fall
and to obtain permits to work the
ore.
Whitaker said the companies had
the machinery and equipment need
ed to wash the ore for shipment
land mining operations will begin
as soon as it is set up near Etna;

Maize Quits Job;
Buns on Own Now
Famous Bowery Character
Plans to Write Book.

NEW YORK. THE buns of the
BoWery have lost their platinum
blonde shepherdess, Maize Phillips
OF the Venice theater, who used to
demand (and pay for) baths for her
customers before she'd let them in.
Maize is writing a book and she's
Cult her job because, she says, Il
wanna do good"
The evangelical tone of her ciga-
rette-husky voice would break the
heart of any of the down-and-outers
to whom she once barked: 1.-THE
world is all Switched up, but I'm
not goin' to have you buns lousin'
up the theater.. Here's a quarter,
Go take bath and come back"
But she insists that "all the money
| make on the book is goin' on them
poor buns. l amt had chance to
tell them yet"
And her new spirit hasn't carried
her to the point of believing in or
gained charity-yet.
I'm not out to knock missions
or SUCH" she said, in her apartment
under the shadow of the Brooklyn
bridge. But you amt goin' to get
a bum in mission if there's gut
ter to sleep in"
Her book is based on the expert
ence of 80 years of brisk friendship
with drifters, and she intends to
give her observations on dirt, among
other things.
'Dirt's healthy" says Maize.
That's why them old buns live
so long"

and Russian assault ttoops are seen
leapins through window frames to

Yugosldus Charge
Axis Sle1U 10000
Occupying Forces accused
OF Vide atrocities.

LONDON.-The Yugoslav govern
ment in exile sent memorandum
to the United States and other AL
lied governments charging that Axis
occupation forces had executed
more than 465, 900 persons in Yugo-
slavia.
The memorandum said Hungari-
an soldiers had executed more than
100000 in northern Yugoslavia alone.
The Germans were said to have
killed more than $4,000 persons in
Serbia proper, while Italian and
German soldiers and native Ustashi
terrorist bands were charged with
Staying 100000 persons throughout
YugoSlavia.
The memorandum, crediting "lnost
reliable eye-WitneSses," dealt pin
cipally with Hungarian atrocities in
the Banat ard Batchka regions,
which were part of Hungary before
the World war. The occupation
forces there killed 5000 Serbs and
set fire to all Serbian homes in
Sombor, the memorandum charged.
More than 500 persons, including a
general, were said to have been
shot outside the town church.
The entire population of Backato-
pola, totaling more than 1000, was
wiped out, with the exception of an
old woman, Mrs. Kratic, who was
quoted in the memorandum as say
ing the Hungarians assaulted women
and young girls before dragging
them to the towns outskirts, where
they were shot. Occupation forces
were accused of killing every Serb
IN the village of Horgos and of
shooting 700 persons and numbering
many others at Navi Sad.
AT Subotica, the memorandum
charged, students and school chill
dren were executed in front of the
grammar school.

Malta Is Most
Bombed Spot
5000 Raids in One Month Is
Record; Story of One
Family.

VALLETTA, MALTA.-Five thou
sand air raids in one month, an
average Of 166 every "a hours, rs
per cent of this city's homes de-
stroyed or damaged-that's the sta
tlstical story of this most bombed
spot on earth. The human story
is
Mrs. Marmena Urpanis gets UP
at a. m. Her husband is a work
ing man. She has six children. All
IS peace and quiet for 20 minutes.
Then the siren sounds.
Say, you," she says casually to
the eldest son. Go up and spot"
The youth climbs to the roof. All
over the neighborhood, family spot
tiers are on the roofs. No use being
disturbed by mere bombs unless
they are close.
Planes Coming Close
Urpanis, having washed his face
and shaved, comes in for breakfast.
The three younger children are still
asleep. Urpanis says he slept well
and Mrs. Urpanis said she had
good night too. She has the coffee
pot poised to pour when a shout
comes from the roof. They're COM
ing close.
Urpanis awakens the children.
Calmly all eight repair to the near
est shelter, an ancient rock-walled
well. Within seconds bombs are
dropping all around. Forty min
utes later the planes have been
driven of and the family returns to
breakfast, Mrs. Urpanis slightly an
noyed because she must warm the
coffee.
Urpanis goes off to work and Mrs.
Urpanis starts scrubbing and dress
ing the three young ones. She is
just about through when, so minutes
after the first raid, another starts.
She and the children go off to the
shelter again.
when that one is over, she goes
shopping. In the midst of it the ST.
rens sound again and she and all per-
sons in the streets 60 casually to
public shelters. That raid didn't
amount to much and there isn't an
other until p. m, which lets the
family lunch in unaccustomed quiet.
The tea-time raids come every
day and 1t would seem a break in
routine If the Axis missed one.
Family Hardly BIinkS.
The next raid was in early eve
ming. One hundred German planes
hit at Valletta again. One big bomb
after another came down within a
radius of 200 yards and close to the
shelter. The younger children were
somewhat disturbed by the noise;
the rest of the family hardly
blinked.
Then one came really close. The
lights went out. Candles revealed
dust and dirt pouring through the
exits to the well. The oldest Ur-
pants girl wetted a handkerchief
and tied it around her mouth. That
makes breathing easier when there's
a lot of dust.
It was all over at 1880 and the
family found their house had been
damaged-again. It was annoying
because it was suppertime and they
were hungry. But Mrs. Urpanis
cleared the debris out of her kitchen
and got the pots on the stove. Ur-
pants meanwhile repaired doors and
windows. He's an expert at that
now.
Supper is hardly over when an
other big feet comes overhead, and
since it is apparent the Axis intends
to keep it up all night, the family
decides to spend the night in the
shelter.
They had II raids in all from the
time they left their beds to the
time they went to bed again.
