Italian, Maxi Prisoners
OfWarAre Good Workers

Thousands of Italian and German
prisoners of war employed on farms
and in lumber camps, fertilizer
plants and laundries in this coun-
try have proved to be satisfactory
workers, a survey revealed today.
Many of them-40 per cent of the
Italians in one big camp-want to
make the United States their per-
manent home. But no matter how
they feel about it, they won't be
permitted to stay. international
law requires that they be returned
to their homeland after the war.
After the war they could, of course,
seek readmission to this country as
regular quota immigrants.
A United Press survey of prison
camps showed that prisoners, espe-
cially Italians, were important fac
tors in relieving manpower short
ages in some states during the har-
vest this fall. Several hundred
prisoners are being trained in north
ern states for work this winter in
lumber camps which also have acute
labor shortages.
Most prison camp commandments
reported that no accurate check
has been made of prisoners desires
for the future, but at Pine Camp,
N. Y, 1t was estimated that 40
per cent of the Italians wished they
could stay in the United States
after the war.

Sia's decision to send military
mission to Jugoslavia and its crit
icism of General Draja Mikhailo-
vitch's Chetniks were regarded to-
day as another blow to King Peters

The Soviet action may 1ore-
shadow an early showdown in the
struggle for Allied recognition be-

Mikhailovitch is War Minister, and
that set up by the Partisan leader,
General Josip (Tito) Brozovich.
Peters government at Cairo has
been recognized by the United

representatives of the Jugoslav
people since the fall of that
country, but the "big three" of the
Allies in recent months have been
watching Brozovich's military cam

Britain already has a military
mission with Brozovich's forces, as
well as with Mikhailovitch's men,

Kills II People

Bath, N. Y, Dec. i4-(UP)-
Eleven war workers were killed and
several others injured today when a
bus carrying approximately 20 to

Post, N. Y, collided with truck
trailer, trapping the victims in the

ly. Coroner James j. Sanford OF
Bath attempted to establish identity
of the dead passengers, six OF whom
he said, were buried to death, and
the other five thrown out of the bus
and killed.
Driver of the truck, which was
owned by the Keeshin Motor Elk
press Co., Of Chicago, was Daniel
Maroney, 81, of Binghamton, N. Y,
who was taken to the Bath Memo
rial hospital. His condition was not
serious.
Maroney told Sheriff Benjamin H.
Balloon that the bus had been on
the wrong side of the road and that
he had tried to avoid hitting it by
driving up an embankment but had
been forced down to the road again.
Authorities were searching for
tracks on the embankment.
After the collision, the bus was
said to have teetered down the road,
overturned and skidded about 200

In a report on the nations coal

Front, Italy, Dec. 10 - (U.Po -
The Germans promptly executed
captured Italian officers who fought
for the Allies the first time last
Wednesday, the italian general In
command told me today.
'The damned Boche tried to
claim we were traitors" he said.
AS soon as the Nazis caught an
officer, he was taken before a fir
ing squad on the battlefield and
shot. Several officers with whom I
talked Just after the attack said
they had seen at least one man ex-
ecuted.
The action took place on the
Mignano sector and the italian
colonel who led the attack said his
forces ran smack into the German
winter line
"They counter attacked with
everything they had, including 400
machine guns" he said. I'VE feel
that although we suffered consider
able losses that our task was worth
while as mark of Italian deter
mination to drive the Boches from
