With Jap Casualties

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 22-UG
Joe f.. Brown, the screen and
stage comedian who performed
for American troops UP to and
sometimes in the battle-lines OF
the war, today was revealed to
have marked up two japanese
casualties by understanding with
a carbine.
The story was related after
Brown, making an opening-night
appearance here in the Broadway
stage hit. Harvey" had recog-
nized Maj. Gen. Robert S. Beight-
Ter, commander of Ohio's 37th Di-
vision in the audience, and called
him to the stage.
The Ohio-born comedian praised
the General and his Buckeye di-
vision as having done one of the
best jobs of the war, and General
Beightler told the story Of Brown S
exploit in back-stage conversa-
ton later.

CT IS ARRESTED
ON SPY CHARGE

HAMILTON FIELD, Cal, Dec. u
(U.pl-Staff Sergeant Frank Hirt, ~,
U. S. Air Forces mechanic and for
mer member Of Adolf Hitler $
Storm Troops, has been arrested
At the Fairfield-Suisun Air Base on
a charge Of conspiring to commit
wartime espionage for the Ger
man government, it was an
nounced today. j.,
Investigation Of Hirt's suspected
spy activities became worldwide
in scope at its climax. Hirt was
understood reliably to have con-
fessed that he was a graduate OF
the Nazi espionage school at Ber-
lin, where he said he learned the
myriad tricks Of the spy trade.
The array announced the, arrest
and the United Press learned In
dependently that Hirt, after per
sistently denying Nazi espionage
activities, made partial confess
sion Of guilt as, he prepared to
submit to. lie detector test.
The army specifically charged
Hirt with the. following:
/. Conspiracy with German agents
in Europe and Brazil to obtain and
send to Germany information
about American military planes.
2. That he was recruited, trained
and financed in Germany for an
espionage mission to the United
States by Karl Bauer, notorious
Nazi espionage agent.
8. That after his enlistment IN
the. U. S. army he correspondent
with German agents and continued
as an active member Of the con-
spiracy until his arrest this year.
The army said Hirt admitted that
he belonged to the Nazi party in
Germany and that he was cor
poral in the Reich's Fuehrer's S.
A. It was understood in addition
that Hirt had been a member Of
the Hitler Jugend, or Nazi youth
movement.
Hirt was arrested last March at
Fairfield-Suisun, a transPacific
stating point and terminal for the
army air forces at transports and
combat planes destined for over
seas assignment. Ii is approx
mately 60. miles northeast Of San
Francisco.
Subsequently he was transferred
to Hamilton Field, headquarters OF
the west coast wing of the Pacific
division of the Air Transport COM
mand and held for courts martial
trial, probably within a month.
Hirt, at the time OF his arrest
was attached to the 1504th AAF
Base unit. Before that he served
at Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, Minter
Field, Calf, and Pendleton, Ore,
Air Base; Muroc Army Air Field,
Santa Maria Army Air Base, and
Mather and Hamilton Field, all in
California.
At the time. Of his enlistment IN
the AAF, Hirt gave mis- address as
the home Of his mother In north
Babylon. Long Island, N. Y. Sub.
sequently army records gave the
address of Hirt and his wife. as
Petaluma, Calf. 3.
Hirt is a United States citizen
by birth. He lived with his grand
parents in Germany for. many
years, and returned to the United
States a few weeks before the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
He enlisted soon thereafter in the
army air forces.

PARKWAY MAY Be !.
COMPLETED SOON

RALEIGH, Dec. 22-R)- North
Carolina today looked to early
completion of the Blue Ridge park
way, which wends its scenic way
from Virginia to western Tar
Heelia's Great Smokes.
Contracts for the most difficult
stretches Of the highway between
Asheville and the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park are
scheduled to be let shortly after
Jan. l, the State News bureau
has disclosed here.
Over half of the 500-nile stretch
Of panoramic highway had been
completed or partially completed
prior to the outbreak of war.
Largely completed is the park
way stretch between Asheville and
the Virginia line. From Asheville
to the approaches OF then Great
Smokes, however, much work re-
mains to be done.
Latest reports here, the State
News bureau disclosed, indicate
that the public roads administration
will spend about half Of a $780,
600, 900 parkways fund on the Blue
Ridge parkway.
Plans for expenditure Of $12.-
600, 900 already have been COM
pleted and are now pending con-
gressional appropriation.
The finished route west Of Ashe-
vile will follow a mountain sky
line by Mount Pisgah, wind
through Balsam Gap, and enter
the Smokes near Cherokee.

The Wilmington office Of the
Southern Bell Telephone and
Telegraph company has been
included in an expansion pro-
gram to cost between $500, 0OO,-
600 and $500, 000, 900, 1t was an
nounced here yesterday by o.
G. Balm, manager of the Will
mington unit.
Expansion in this area will
include additional cable ia
cilities, the enlargement OF the
central office facilities and
resumption of rural develop
ment, which was suspended
bv the war in 1912.
A survey of Wilm.ngtons
needs is now being made by
engineers of the Southern Bell
company and is expected to be
completed in 60 to 80 days,
Mr.. Balm said. Until this
study is finished ana repoIts
made, it will be impossible to
estimate the amount of money
to be spent in Wilmington and
this section of the state.
Nevertheless, the new work IS
expected to run into thousands
of dollars, Mr.. Balm added.
Wilmington is expected to
be one of the first cities to be
given consideration in the
company's program because
of the crowded conditions here.
Recently Mr.. Balm promised
that telephone service would
be made available to all APP
plicants as soon as possible.
This will require some time,
however, because Of the neces-
sity of manufacturing new
equipment.

and installation program for

of telephone facilities, will be
brought into play in a large meas.
ure to expand service on the
farms Of the South.
lone Of the big factors in future
farm development is high
strength steel wire which enables
US to place poles farther apart
than previously. Use OF electric
power lines to transmit telephone
messages offers another possibili-
ty which can be adapted to rural
telephone development.
Steps are being taken now and
additional measures will be taken
as soon as possible to improve and
extend long distance facilities in
the South. A new cable, called the
Southern Transcontinental, will
pass through Southern Bell terri
tory, connecting such key points
in Dixie as Charlotte, Atlanta, Biz.

Shreveport. The cable terminates

Primary emphasis at first will
be placed on the installation OF
equipment and outside facilities
needed to care for the more than
$40, 900 orders for service now
pending.
THE planning. engineering and
manufacturing phases of provid-
ing the tremendous quantities OF
equipment needed for this purpose
are already well under way" Mr..
Dumas said. Some equipment
has been delivered. and install.
lation work has begun in some
cities where the need is most
acute.
I'VE are beginning to receive
more telephone instruments from
our scpplier now, and the install.

ments only can therefore be
handled more quickly than those

Manufacture Of this intricate
equipment used in switching calls
requires much time. When the war

specialized machinery necessary
for the manufacture of this equip.

away. Its place was taken by
other m C h n ry for making

machines and refrain workmen
before these plants can again

scratched the surface as far as
the total requirements are con-

Southern Bell is keenly inter.

and more rural jewellers THROUGH

For the three years before the
war, we spent more than $3,OOO.-
900 building rural lines and added
nearly $4,000 rural telephones. Ac-
tually, since 1885, Bell-operated
farm telephones in the southeast
have more than quadrupled.

extend, he said, over the next
five or six years.
Some idea of the size Of the
program is given by Mr.. Du-
ms when he points out that 1t
means that I'VE must in this
comparatively short period OF
time spend a sum for expan-
sion about equal to the dollar
investment in the facilities we
now possess"
A large proportion of the
amount to be spent by the tele-
phone company in the near
future will go toward clearing
up pending applications for
service, but beyond that,
Southern Bell anticipates q
period Of substantial economic
development in the south which
will necessi.ate further tele-
phone expsns: on to meet the
growing requirements.
Mr.. Dumas said Southern
Bells postwar plans included
many different projects, some
Of which he outlined as fol-
lows:
Filling as quickly as possible
applications for service being
held because of the lack Of
facilities;
Extending and improving
rural telephone service;
Catching up with plant short
