BRITISH SECRET
AGENT HELD DEAD

CHUNGKING, March 14.-R-
Unconfirmed reports received here
from Hongkong say that Maj.
Charles Boxer, chief of British Ar
my Intelligence at Hongkong at
the time of its capture by the Jap
anese, recently was executed by
the japanese, who charged him
with operating a secret radio sta
ton in a prisoner Of war camp.
In a current book, China To
Me-" the author, Emily Hahn, iden-
tified' Major Boxer as the father
of her daughter, Garcia, 3.
Miss Hahn, who has been living
in New York since she was re-
partriated a year ago from the
Orient on the exchange ship Grips
holm, said, unless there is more
evidence, I do not intend to believe
the rumor.''
She explained that she had heard
such a report through the British
War Office several months ago but
thought it might have arisen
through the reported Imprisonment
of Hongkong civilians for operating
a secret radio and the simultane-
GUS imprisonment of a civilian
named Boxer.
She said such a report reached
Chungking last June. Chungking,
she said, was full of rumors.
Miss Hahn, d freqent contribu-
tor to the New Yorker magazine
and other periodicals, was a free
lance writer in China. In her book
she told of meeting Major Boxer
after his wife had instituted di-
vorce proceedings. She said she
would return to China after the
war to marry him.
In London, the War Office with
held comment, pending completion
of a check of the Chungking re-
ports.

Scores Of these men, many OF

Miss Mason declared, will be re-

WASHINGTON CALLING
by
MARQUIS CH1LDS

ROME-This war is like huge
tapestry, with so much going on
in the foreground and all of it so
highly colored and exciting, that
extraordinary happenings in the
background are overlooked. Dur
ing my brief stay in Belgrade, l
heard the story of one such back
ground adventure from one of the
participants.
Sergeant Carl w. Mitchell, now
attached to the American military
mission in Yugoslavia, was one of
about 300 American enlisted men
and officers who, in January,
1914, along with British comnan-
dos, joined band of Tito's par
tisans on the island Of Wis off the
Dalmatian coast. Mitchell and the
other Americans had been chosen
from every branch of the armed
services because they spoke one
or another of the Slavic tongues.
Thanks to his mother and grand
parents, Mitchell speaks both
Croatian and Serbian.
When the group landed on Wis,
it was the only lifeline between
that part of Italy held by the Al
lies and enemy-held Dalrnatia.
The assignment of the mixed force
was to harass enemy communi-
cations and create the utmost des-
truction and confusion by repeat
ed commando raids on the coast.
The first night, the whole camp
was at movie when the Germans,
who had been tipped off by an a.
gent on the island, staged an air
raid. Fortunately, there were al
most no casualties. From that
moment on, there was never dull
moment.
The group made a landing on
the Dalmatian coast, using COM
mando infiltration tactics, and
stayed for three days near the
town of Split. Immediately after
ward, Mitchell, an American Off
Ger and a group of partisans hid
for six days in a cave on an island
and a patrol would have taken
them if it had not been for a warn
ing given by a local boy.
It was like that time after time,
with the peasants never failing in
courage and friendship. When Ser
geant Mitchell speaks about them,
there's a warm light in his eyes.
"Oh, they know how to live,
those people do" he says. "You
know, they sing and they dance and
they drink and they like to be free.
And they couldn't have been better
to us. 1 mean that. They couldn't
have been better"
OF all the acts of sudden courage
and heroism that became common
place, during the operations, Nit
chell reserves his greatest admir-
alton for that of Corporal George
Kalitsis of New York, a Greek
American who was born in Athens.
Kalitsis, who wanted to 60 and
fight for the liberation of Greece,
never got a chance.
HE talked about it lot" Nit
chell says. HE really felt it, too.
But on our very first mission, we
ran into a German ambush. They
had us bad, and then Kalitsis
stepped up to see a German NOR
tar position. Well, he saw it, all
right. They got him right in the
head. But what it did was to give
the Germans away and, if that
hadn't happened, we would all
have been killed, and that's true"
They took the body of Corporal

day. But the situation admittedly
was growing more serious.
In newspaper advertisements to-
day, major film producers declar-
ed that when the National Labor
Relations Board, to whom they
have appealed for a decision in
the jurisdictional issue, decides the
case, they will abide by the ruling
and bargain with the unit deslg'
nated'' by the board.

old strike, insofar as determining
ability of the studios to keep go

on Yugoslav soil. Sergeant Nit

around the campfire. And Their

them. Without any help, they hao

spent months learning those two

They're wonderful fighters

for one American life.'
