AIR FORGE LENDS HAND TO SOVIET TROOPS Army Proves Stepping Stone to Postwar Film Career for Local Youth 1 J. yf x. v. ft ON LUZON U. S.

Fifth air force the camouflaged rail yard at Lucena on Luzon, as air forces aid American infantry drive on Manila. 9 -Wife Quest for "Happy Home" Began in Wisconsin Washington () Maj. Gen. Nathan F. Twining, commander of the 15th air force in Italy, said yesterday his strategic bombers and fighters had given as much support to Russian ground forces on the southeastern front as to Allied troops in Italy.

Beginning last April after the Russians reached Bucharest, he told a news conference, the 15th coordinated its attacks with the Russian drive and made several raids at the specific request of the Soviets. Prior to that, he said, the 15th hit the German targets on its own initiative. "We did the Russians a great service and I'm sure they know it as well as we," he said. Twining, who came to Washington for conferences with air force leaders, said the 15th is not coordinating its attacks with the current Russian offensive in Poland because the bombers would have to operate too close to the Russian lines. "However," he said, "if they request anything we'll go to it." Twining said the strategic bombers also "had done a lot of work" for Marshal Tito, the Yugoslavian guerrilla leader, in smashing rail lines, bridges, and other targets designated by the Yugoslavs.

Twining is a native of Monroe, Wis. His family is now living in Charlotte, N.C.

She was the only one I really loved; we were so happy." Mrs. Brutonia Evelyn Brown Crenshaw Van Wie, a San Francisco divorcee, and Van Wie were married in Reno, last December 12. She is believed to be wife No. 8 or 9. The balding street car man, formerly a lion tamer, said his longest marriage was to Mabel Joyce in 1922, and that it lasted 17 years.

He said that in the last five years he married five times. Van Wie said his Wisconsin mar riage took place at Fort Atkinson. Trouble Begins Trouble started for Van Wie in 1915, he recounted, when wife No. 2, Clara Heise, had him arrested in Chicago for non-support of a son, i rancis. nut she tailed to appear and the complaint was dismissed, he added.

"Then she and my first wife, Eli zabeth Kexel, got together and had me arrested there for bigamy in July, 1915," he continued. "The judge nolle prossed it, and set me free." He then met Mable Joyce, No. 3, in a Milwaukee hospital and left in 1940. "We were married in some little town in northern Wisconsin, I forget the name," Van Wie related. "We traveled all the time.

I never had any home. After 17 years we drifted apart." Employes of Firm To Get Back Wages Chicago (JP) Thirty-nine Wisconsin employes of the United States Tobacco company will receive in back wages, Thomas O'Mal-ley, regional director of the wage and hour public contracts division of the U. S. Department of Labor announced last night. They were classified as promotional salesmen and improperly exempted from overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards act, O'Malley said.

Branch offices affected, number of employes, and sums to be paid in Wisconsin are: Green Bay, 12 and and Milwaukee, 27 and I' YANKS BOMB RAIL CENTER smoke from which covers part Ickes' Tax Figures Don't Seem to Jibe Chicago John S. Clark, Cook county assessor, said today that Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes obtained tax reductions of $8,548 for 1943 and 1944 on a Loop building he owns by filing an affidavit concerning rental yields which Clark called "erroneous." Clark said investigators from his office had determined that annual rental from the five-story store and office building at 231-233 south state street, in the heart of the shopping district, was $61,350, whereas Ickes' affidavit stated it was a three-story building writh an nual rental of $24,000. It was on the basis of the affid avit, Clark said, that the board of tax appeals reduced the assessed valuation of Ickes' building from $527,378 to $417,778, a reduction for tax purposes of $109,600 which meant an annual tax cut of $4,274 for 1943 and 1944. He ordered the higher valuation and tax restored for the 1945 year, but said there would be a public hearing on the subject.

Clark did not disclose the total annual tax involved. He said Ickes' affidavit was sub mitted from Washington, dated June 8, 1944. John Toman, a member of the tax appeals board, said he recalled Ickes was present at a tax hearing last August. Another board member, James J. McDermott, said the board had 65,000 cases before it, did not have the staff to investigate all of them and "we must assume that the complaints are filed in good faith." Brownell Has 4-Point Plan New York (JP) A four-point program for the Republican party has been outlined by National Chair man Herbert Brownell, because, he says, the present administration is so lacking constructive pro grams." Addressing the 33rd anniversary dinner of the New York Young Re publican club, Brownell said the Re' publican party would have to "provide the real political leadership of the country," and proposed a program to include: 1 A complete overhauling of the federal tax system; 2 change of congressional methods and procedures; 3 national legislation to improve the position of the Negro race and constructive proposals dealing with such matters as the poll tax, lynching laws and fair employment practices; 4 constitutional changes, including "abolition or modification of the outworn machinery of the electoral college." Brownell said that to facilitate this program, the party "must draw into its ranks the younger men and women in the country, particularly those with new ideas and those who believe in the principle and not in expediency." of Los Angeles (JP) Francis Van Wie's 40-year search for a happy home has ended, at least temporarily, in a county jail cell here where the portly street car conductor today is awaiting arrival of San Francisco police who want him on three charges of bigamy.

The 59-year-old Van Wie, known to fellow street car- men in San Francisco as the "Ding Dong Daddy of the Car Line," told newsmen that he can remember marrying eight times. He said his present plight was caused by his "long search for a happy home." San Francisco police computed the number of Van Wie's wives as nine. Police Inspector Jerry Desmond said the number of legal separations was uncertain. Van Wie, who left San Francisco last Saturday and was arrested here yesterday, said in an interview that his long quest for martial contentment began in 1904 or 1905 in Wis- Ripon College Man Cited Ideal Citizen Chicago (IP) Anthony Cascino, youngest son of an immigrant couple which in 1941 was cited for rearing an outstanding American family, yesterday was commended as an "ideal citizen." Cascino, on leave from Ripon col lege at Ripon, and now an OPA staff economist in Washington, received his "ideal citizen" citation from the union league foundation for boys' clubs. He was one of two men selected on a basis of character and achievement from among 35,000 persons who have been members of the league's clubs in the last 25 years.

In 1941 his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Cascino of Chicago received the union league clubs' "family life award." HEAVY PENALTIES Detroit (JP) Sentences totaling 113 months in jail and $15,000 in fines were imposed by Federal Judge Frank A. Picard yesterday on 32 persons accused of dealing in counterfeit gasoline coupons or of selling legitimate coupons. An average pair of men's contain about 100 pieces of including eyelets, nails and lace tips.

shoes steel, shoe- The United States army has prov-td to be a stepping stone from driving a milk truck to the ro'a of a movie actor for a Central Wisconsin youth who won't be 19 years old Until February 11. The youth, Pvt. Charles Rozell, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Rozell, reside it 640 Twentieth street north, was assured of a postwar future as a movie actor earlier thi3 week when he was signed to a long: term contract in Hollywood to take effect after the war.

Rozell, a member of an infantry detachment from Camp Cooke, provided by the army for battle scenes in Ernie Pyle's "Story of GI Joe," was singled out for a feature role in the film, which led to his being signed last Tuesday to a contract. Never Acted Before When told of the news concerning their son, Mr. and Mrs. Rozell said that Charles had never planned on an acting career. The youth graduated from Plainfield High Bchool in 1943 but never did any acting or took any roles in any plays while in high school.

He was inducted into the army the Waushara county group June 21, 1944, and was first in the field artillery before being transferred into the infantry. After finishing his basic training, he expected a furlough last fall but gave his parents a great thrill in a telegram to them last October 21 which said, "I won't see you for two months as I am going to play in a movie based on the invasion of North Africa." Drove Milk Truck Just three weeks ago, he sent his folks a picture of himself on a set and also a series of films taken from a scene in the movie. Before entering the army, Rozell drove a milk truck for the Plainfield Draft Figures Of American BY JAMES MARLOW Washington (IP) Students of 1 American life will have a field day tunneling through figures just gathered by selective service. It's a survey of the physical causes for men being rejected by their draft boards or army doctors. SS doesn't try to analyze the reasons behind the causes.

Here's one to argue about: Why do Vermont, Washington, D. and New Hampshire lead the nation in the rate of rejections for mental diseases? "Vermont and New Hampshire are farming country. Their per capita income i'a well above many other states and only slightly lower than Wyoming had the lowest mental disease rejection rate. Humorists Can Have Fun The humorists who like to dig at the caliber of capital brain work will be able to cut didoes explaining why this city of Washington is next to top of the list. All that has been said so far and all to follow until stated otherwise involves only the rejection of white men.

The SS report deals with the results of the physical examinations of over 9 million men examined between April 1942 and Dec. 1943. The study is based on a sample consisting of approximately 20 per cent of those examined. Here's another one you can argue with your neighbor about: Nevada, New Mexico, Florida and Arizona in that order led the. nation in the rejection rate for syphilis.

North Dakota was lowest. Educational Deficiency Southern states led all others in the rejection rate for educational deficiency, in this order: Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Virginia, Ala- bama. Oregon was the lowest. The southern states are the lowest in the ration in per capita income so it could be expected that their school systems reflect this. The SS survey shows that syphilis and a need for schooling are major problems among Negroes.

Eye defects were the most common defects found among whites. Bad teeth were second. There is a lot of material in the SS survey. It probably will be examined and re-examined for along time. Star's Mother Dies After Week's Illness Santa Monica, Calif.

E. J.

Waterman, vocational school circuit instructor in hotel and res taurant food services, gave a brief summary of each of the four future meetings, pointing out to the group that this type of institute was not begun first in Wisconsin and thus is not in an early or experimental stage.
