Telephone 'Fiend'
Arrested in Reich

DUSSELDORF, Dec. IA (NANA)
"A telephone "fiend" who con-
trived to put through high
priority calls to Gen. Lucius D.
Clay, then American military
governor of Germany, for the sole
purpose of calling him names, has
been arrested by Dusseldorf police
after a two-year chase.
The man, 26-year-old German
called Gunther Quentin, has con-
fessed to having phoned at least
200 prominent American, British
and German personalities to abuse
them in the most obscene manner.
AS he used to put through his

calls from public telephone booths.
police found 1t very difficult to
get on his track.
Detectives In charge Of the in
vestigation are still wondering
how Quentin was able to obtain
the private and secret telephone
numbers of top military govern
ment officials, both American and
British. They are even more
puzzled by the fact that he was
able to reach Gen. Clay, per-
sonally, on a high-priority call.
Quentin's defense is that he is
suffering of incurable "tele-
phonitis. He says, whenever
I see q telephone directory, I've
got to call up somebody, or I feel
sick" But he doesn't explain
why he feels compelled to heap
abuse and obscenity on the vic
TINS of his strange illness"

u. S. Promotes Coaster Derbies
Abroad to Spread Americanisn

The Soap Box Derby is doing q
lot to spread the spirit of Amerj-
canism throughout the world.
A coaster car race already has
been held in Vienna, Austria, and
information on the All-Americall
Derby. held yearly at Akron, Ohio
is being distributed throughout
the world by the international
Press Section of the State De-
partment.
In addition, representatives of

tend the Washington Soap Box
Derby July 9 to gather ION the
scene" material.
1t. William T. Cound. a former
Washington resident, wrote The

sponsored by his battalion in
Vienna was a most worthwhile
event in a country that is sore in
need of occasions to aid its chill
dren and to build craftsmanship
pride in craft and competitive
spirit in its future citizens
New Contest This Year.
1t. Cound, who is attached to
the 1st Battalion, 350th Infantry
said the coaster car race, held
last year. was the most successful
of all the programs sponsored by
the unit to encourage the children
of Austria.
He said an Austrian National
Elimination is planned this year
as a result of the enthusiasm
shown by Austrian youth in the
inaugural event. A crowd of
10000 attended the race, he said
despite a hard rainstorm.
The occupation troops who
staged the race were guided only
by enthusiasm, a single copy OF
the 1946 year book and vague
memories of American derbies 1t
Cound said.
The State Department prepared
a story on the All-American Soar
Box Derby as another illustration
of life in the United States.
An article on the race Is being
