PROF. BOEHMER IS
 KILLED AT FRONT
Continued from Page D

Shortly before Germany invaded Russia June p, 1941, Boehmer at- tended a reception at the Bulgarian legation in Berlin. A heavy drinker he took one-or more-too many al the reception and boasted to the Bulgarian minister that i've are in- vading Russia a week from now"
 Although the attack had been rumored for days, Nazi officials, in- cluding Boehmer, previously had in- sisted that Russian rela- tons remained satisfactory.
 Boehmer's slip of the tongue caused a sensation. An official oi the foreign office who overheard his remark immediately reported 1t ard Boehmer was arrested and thrown into jail.
 Several months later Boehmel was found guilty by peoples court of treason through negligence" and was sentenced to two years in prison
 Boehmer got of with this con- paratively light sentence because Goebbels personally intervened.
 Goebbels reportedly also made Il possible for Boehmer later to go to the east front reportedly as a pri- vate that he might "clear his name by fighting for the Fatherland. He died a first lieutenant.
 Boehmer, Stocky man with thin- ming blond hair, was noted for his love of women and wine.
 The professor also was fond oi gambling and often rolled dice with foreign correspondents.

.WOMEN'SPAGEIS
 BEING CHANGED
Washington Post Knocked Out Old Ideas With New
 Venture

Washington, Aug. 24-CUP)-Ths Washington Post today reoryanized its women's page and appointed . city editor for women's activities with orders to pick interesting ma terial and "to throw the tripe ir the waste basket"
 In a front page box headlined ''For The Ladies, Bless En-" the Post said: Newspapers are pretty stuffy institutions.
 Most of us are doing the same thing today we did 20 years ago No one knows why, particularly the reader, except that it has always been done that way.
 '"Take the case of the so-called 'Women's Page
 Sometime in the dim past some editor decided to put certain ma terial related to women's interests on a page-beauty, child care, fash- ion, food, health, etc. and the re- suit was supposed to interest wom- en. Other editors followed the idea and the result has been that women have been fed canned tripe for years.
 "The Post, starting today, is try ing to do something about this situation. The Post believes that all woman wants from a newspaper is something interesting, something exciting, something that affects her life today. A city editor for women's activities has been installed and her job is to pick interesting ma terial each day and to throw t1 tripe in the waste basket"

VON CLAMM GETS
 2-YEAR PENALTY
German Born American Citizen Convicted of Dia-
 mOnd Sale Under Nazis

New York, Aug. 2-(UP)-Wer- ner Won Clem. 44-year- old German born American citizen, was sen- tenced today to two years in the federal penitentiary and fined $1O,- 900 for conspiring with the Ger man high command to sell in this country diamonds seized by the NaziS in Belgium and Holland.
 The sentence, pronounced by Fed eral Judge James P. Lemay. was the maximum under the law. Judge Lea my also fined the Pioneer Import Corporation, which Won Clemm headed and which was convicted with him. $10,000.
 Won Clemm, a cousin of the wife of German Foreign Minister Joa- chim Won Ribbentrop and a German artillery officer in the first World War. was convicted Aug.

ALASKA IN GOOD
 SHAPE IS REPORT
Senate Committee That Made Inspection of Base
 Finds Everything Right

Seattle, Wash, August 24-(UP) Senate committee members who inspected Army and Navy bases in Alaska sounded a note of opti- mism today over Americas position in the A,eutian war theater and discounted the threat of a large scale Japanese invasion.
 The committeemen-SenS. Mon c. Wallgren, D., Wash, Harold H. Burton, R., Ohio, and Rufus C.. Holman. R., Ore.-retufned after a 7,O00-mile air tour inspecting de- fense installations. Sen. A. B.. (Happy) Chandler, D., Ky, will re- turn later.
 "The people in the United States have nothing to fear regarding the territory" Wallgren said. "The situation is improving daily and things are being taken care of."
 Wallgren said the committee had visited "every base, from those in Alaska proper to out where the boys are fighting" against Japanese who have occupied two of the Aleutian Islands.
 We found that they have every thing they need and are getting more all the time," he said.
 Burton praised Army and Navy personnel for doing "a swell job"
 "The territory is well established defensively," he said. ''The armed forces are doing job up there, and morale is high"
 Burton said he had learned noth- ing to confirm rumorS that the Japanese had made landings on the Pribiloff and St. Lawrence Islands in the Aleutian chain.
 Wallgren asserted that was "ab- solutely nothing to rumors' that some Alaskan bases had insufficient ammunition and other supplies.
 We really have great story" Wallgren said, "but it will have to be made in a confidential report at Washington, D. C."

Conversion Of Heating Plants Is Progressing
Industrial Plants Change From Oil to Coal in 5O96
 Proportion! Saving of Many Barrels Is Predicted

burners now in use in the Atlantic Coast states were previously con- verted from coil to oil. Crates and shaker bars are still on hand in more than 18% of these homes. This is the sector among East Coast home owners to whom the appeal is now being made to change over from oil to coal, and thus insure warm homes this winter.
 MT. Brown treasured the Petrol cum Coordinator that the petroleum industry is doing everything within its power to back up the govern ment's program for the conversion of home heating units from oil to coal, wherever possible, and to take all necessary steps for the conser- vation of oil in homes still requiring it. The success of this program is looked upon as the only means of keeping the fuel oil shortage from seriously impairing the health and efficiency of the war effort along the Atlantic Coast.
 MT. Brown indicated that 1t might be necessary for the government to require those who can convert to coal or receive no fuel oil this win ter,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-24

John A. Brown, chairman of the General District Committee No. l today reported to Petroleum Coordi- nator Ickes that the program for converting Atlantic Seaboard indus trial plants from fuel oil to coal consumption is making progress, but neither the industrial nor the con- sumer phase of this conversion pro- gram is going as well as 1t should.
 MT. Brown told MT. Ickes that East Coast industrial plants already had converted from fuel oil to coal in more than 509o of the cases where conversion is possible. The conversion program in industrial plants already has resulted in a saving of 22000,00O barrels of fuel oil out of a potential conversion saving of 42,000,00O barrels.
 MT. Brown reported that the con- version program in industrial plants should bring about a saving of 42,- 100000 barrels. This represents about 35% of the total industrial fuel oil consumption on the East Coast.
 As entrusted with the progress being made in industrial plants, MT. Brown said that not more than 1% of the potential number of fuel oil homes have been converted. He said that home owners so far had failed to heed the government warn- ing that East Coast homes would be cold this winter unless all home owners who are capable of convert ing their oil burners to coal con- sumption make the change-over i'm mediately.
 Surveys have shown that more than 50% of the 1,423,000 home oil

way in municipal court today Judge Conway imposed the line on the resistance charge and suspended sentence on the other two counts.
 Williamson was caught with three other men in Q raid by Meuts. Pakul and Patrick Moylan and Pa trolman James Wagner and Edward Sullivan on 8 crap game in the rear of 79 North Elm street at noon yesterday. The officers said about 25 or 30 men were taking part in the game which is a weekly occurrence. Lieut.. Moylan said one of the players had pulled a gun during an argument over a play last week.
 The three other men managed to get away when the four officers concentrated on the arrest of the pugnacious and elusive Williamson. Lieut.. Pakul said he caught Will liamson at the scene of the game and placed him under arrest. But Williamson broke loose when the officer bent down to pick up $2.05 which had been left on the ground by the fleeing players.
 Lieut.. PaKu1 said he chased Will liamson into the pool room and found him with a cue stick in his hands, putting on an act that he was engaged in game of billiards.
 Taking the man into custody again he marched him to the wait~ ing patrol car. But when they placed him into the car he broke loose again and raced up North Elm street. A sprinter of no mean ability himself, Lieut.. Pakul gave chase and caught up with William son at Kingsbury street.
 The lieutenant said that ct this point Williamson grabbed him by the neck and ripped his shirt. In defending himself he. said he punched Williamson in the eye. The eye was black today.
 The officers said that Williamson was abusive all the way to the sta- ton and commenced to kick and fight again when they arrived.
 Judge Conway, in imposing sen- tence said that an example should be made of the case for the protec- ton of policemen who are required to make such arrests in the conduct of their duties.
 He remitted $10 of the $50 1ne with the understanding that Will Hanson buy Lieut.. Pakul & new tie and shirt to replace those ripped in the fight.
