|Capfives in First War
Reported Still Held
I'm Red Arctic Camp

NEW YORK. July is tN.ANAo-
The Russians still are holding war
prisoners from World War /, also
political prisoners (including some
Americans) from the sos, in a desc
late camp on the remote Arctic
archipelago known as Franz Josef
Land. This amazing report is at
tributed to the Swedish Red Cross
by the Hamburg newspaper Die
Welt. The paper. oficial organ Of
the British Military Government in
Germany, generally is regarded as
very well informed and reliable.
Of6cials Of the Swedish Red Cross
surveying conditions in Soviet war
prisoner camps learned of the pris-
oner-of-war camp in the Arctic and
sent a mission to check up, Die Welt
says. The Swedes found among the
prisoners on the bleak group of
islands a number of Germans who
had been captured by the Russians
In World War 80 years ago!
Among other inmates of the
camp, according to the German
newspaper, we're found number
of foreign specialists, including
some unidentified Americans, who

Americans Giving Aid Model Plane Building Promotes
TO Kin in IaIy Called H. S. Security, VFW Chief Says
Best u. ). SaIesmen

BENEvENTo. Italy, July 1s
(cDN.-Americans sending letters
and packages to kinfolk over here
are the United States best statesmen
abroad.
According to q survey 10 of every
20 persons who have relatives In
America are pro-United States, tend
to oppose Communism and have
faith that the recovery program will
help revive Europe economically.
The percentage drops OF among
thces without relatives in America
They know less about the United
States and run about $3.50 In ideo-
logical convictions.
In this village, near Naples, which
was included In the survey, reac-
tions are fairly typical.
DR.. Angelo Cavalluzzo, who him
self has cousins and uncles in
America, claims that his contact
with scores Of people daily give him
and insight into their preiudices
and beliefs.
Majority Oppose Reds.
"Ihe majority Of the Italian peo-
ple," says the surgeon. ARE opposed
to Communism, as shown by the
April 1s election. Many who voted
the Christian-Democrat Party into
power remain unconvinced that it
is the best thing in the world for
Italy.
But they are certain it is better
than Communism. We believe the
Marshall Plan will be highly i'm
portant to the country if it is prop
erly administered. But most Of us
want to see how the government
goes about 1t before we decide"
Luigi Romano, without relatives
in America, says that he and most
Of his large number Of relatives
here believe that neither the United
States nor the Soviet Union is 100
per cent justified in the present
cold war" He believes both sides
might give in to some extent to pre-
vent another war.
Relatives Sell America.
In Messina not far way, Maria
Raw Pinto, with relatives in Amer
ica, has received enthusiastic let
ters through the years about life
abroad. They have sold her on
America.
I'VE are Christians in Italy" she
says. "Our thinking is different
from that of the slav countries.
That will prevent us from accept
ing Communism nothing else does" !"
AS in most places today, the clash
between the East and West is ar
gued in villages and cities Of Italy
among all classes of people. Moth
ing, except personal we'll being,
seems more important to the i'm
mediate future.

Laundry Begins
Operations Monday

Are you unable to do your wash
ing yet meticulous about the way
it is done? The Zimmerman's Mar
ion and Walter have pleasing
solution ready-just drop in and
see their new plant True it is
small-they do not claim otherwise
but they feel sure they are pre-
pared to take care of all laundry
that comes to them. They specialize
on speed and judging from their
desire to have satisfied customers
it is evident that the work will be
we'll done. For many years the
custom of Troy maintained a laun-
dry and dry cleaning plant in the
town. This burned down at the
beginning of the war and the town
has sent its soiled lines to other
towns. In some cases this has been
satisfactory whereas in other cases
the long wait till the laundry came
back made it necessary for hotels
etc. to have a extra large amount
of linen to carry them over. Some
were forced to hire help to do the
laundry on the premises. Now the
Zimmermans pick up and delivery
service will get the washing there
quickly.
A word about these men who are
embarking on the new enterprise.
They have been residents of Troy
for eleven years & property owners
here for more than half of that
time. They were formerly employed
by the j. Neils Lumber Company
for 20 years.
Zimmerman's Laundry is located
on Kalispen Avenue, adjacent to
their home on Second and Kalis-
pell, on the old road to the Ranger /
Station.
