At Morgantown, many large shade trees were blown down, others were scarred, utility service was temporarily disrupted and several buildings damaged by a high wind.

Though wind was not so intense at Edinburg, a 45-minute rain estimated to have dumped between two and three inches of precipitation on the town was recorded. Morgantown residents reported the windstorm swept across the south part of town with greater force than other sections. Streets were blocked with fallen trees and large limbs and utility lines were down in a number places because of the wind. Car, Garage Damaged A uoreh on a small bungalow was ofjF.

The debatable theory that it may be possible to bomb Germany, Italy and even Japan out of the war with an absolute minimum of Allied casualties was given unusual encouragement today.

"They are in a position that a lot of our soldiers might be," said Col.

Modisette. "We hope that by adhering to the Geneva rules we can expect in return for our soldiers held prisoner by enemy nations to be treated likewise." Immediately after a prisoner of war arrives in camp he is given a basic course, which for the most part includes courtesies and English. This course includes training in recognizing the National Anthem, "To the Colors," bugle calls, and insignia of rank; understanding and executing commands.

Far away from their native land, till the soil in a Victory Garden held in trust They're Treated Like We Hope Our Boys In Enemy Hands Are Treated This story was written the afternoon of Saturday. June 5. by Boyd Gill of The. Evening Star staff, who was one of seven reporters touring the internment camp that day. The story was cleared, as required, through the War Department of Public Relations in Washington.

It's no secret anymore that tnere is an internment camp for prisoners of war at Camp Atterbury. Italian prisoners of war are interned here. A few hours after the army headquarters in Washington announced that 36,688 enemy prisoners Of war are now being held in this country, newspapermen and photographers were invited to Atterbury for a six-hour tour of the internment camp. Built to accommodate 3,000 war prisoners, the internment camp is situated in the west section of the military reservation, well apart rom the cantonment in which American soldiers live and train. The buildings are similar in construction and design to those our own soldiers have, but are pale green in color in contrast to the white and cream colors of the army buildings.

Col. John L. Gammell, lommander of the internment camp by virtue of his being commanding officer of the 1537th Service Unit which serves as the escort guard for the internment I camp, said there are no commissicn- i ed officers among the prisoners here.

The mer- cury reached 94 decrees at he Franklin weather station to record a temperature four degrees warmer than the previous record for 1943. On Saturday, the previous record was broken when the temperature mounted to 92.

On at least one occasion, PW leaders, observing that many of the prisoners were turning completely around in their seats to watch us, barked commands for the boys to resume eating and pay less attention to what was going on behind them. 53 Details Operating For three hours after lunch, we observed the prisoners at work and at play.

During our visit, many of the prisoners were busy on work details. We were told that 53 work details, were in operation that day on the Post alone. We observed one detail at work eliminating a scrap lumber pile, termed a fire hazard and orderd removed. Photographers in our group took pictures of men working with rakes on a burning dump and others hcisting grubbed stumps on an army truck with an army windlass. Another detail was at work setting out tomato plants in a 50-acre "Victory Garden" which will produce supplementary rations for the prisoners.

The demonstration calls for partici- pants to swim with full equipment under various simulated conditions.

I i Grapefruit's Rind The "human interest" angles of the internment camp for Italian prisoners of war at CampAtterbury are many and varied- The Italian prisoners prefer fruits and flour dishes to meats and vegetables. They leave hardly any garbage. For instance, when eating grapefruit, they eat rind and all.

At a conference between the leaders and the camp commander, the prisoners' only complaint was that the guards should not carry arms, as they were content to stay in cap-tlvity Lawn mowers were a novelty to the prisoners. They actually expressed a personal desire to be employed on lawn mowing work. The prisoners are fond of singing and often sing while marching to and from work. Strange to relate, one of their favorite marching songs is "Beer Barrell Polka," sung in Italian. me prisoners are laieniea in India.

They believed that Indiana as a part of India. Some expressed wonder at how i New York City oould have been 1 rebuilt so quickly. They had been under the impression that New York had been destroyed by bombs. i When asked what they desired to be put in stock in their canteens they were unanimous in requesting suspenders, hair oil, hair tonic, facial creams and hand lotions- The prisoners have one characteristic common to the American soldier. They all expressed a desire to have juke boxes placed in their canteens and radios and victrolas in their clubrooms.

Sicily was the main object of the attack in the Mediterranean and the German Rhineland again felt the heavy weight of Royal Air Force bombings. But Commodore Jones, in his first public statement on the world outlook, went far beyond these immediate objectives to see Germany and Italy blasted into quivering surrender and Japan's sea lines cut from tlie air, starving the home islands and leaving those on the Pacific fringe to rot into submission. The Australian air chief, of course, may have been speaking in the flush of aerial optimism that followed U1 impc-uusa and tiny Linosa between Tunisia jBnd Sicily in the Mediterranean.

The PW companies are made up of the prisoners themselves, The PWs have one regimental leader, three battalion leaders and twelve company leaders. The leaders are the intermediaries between the army and the prisoners. Leaders are apointed by the camp commander according to relative rank. All leaders are non-commissioned officers and are known as sergent mag-giore, sergents, corporale maggiore and corporale. Another Ready To Go In the Atterbury internment camp, two battalions already have been set up and another is ready to go when additional prisoners of war are dispatched here.

On arrival at Camp Atterbury, regardless of time of day or night, all sick and wounded are rushed to the Post Hospital. All the other prisoners of war are marched to the Internment camp where they are searched, examined physically, given a shower bath, fed a good meal and mtn auuwcu iu me next, aay they are processed.

They sing and laugh and talk almost incessantly. We newsmen were allowed access to the camp a few hours after the army announced that prisoners of war were stationed at Atterbury. First, we visited the guest house, which looked just like a dayroom our own soliders use. There were rugs on the floor, red leather furniture, old hickory tables and chairs, floor lamps, stoves, ash trays and a desk for the chaplain. Dinner Was Delicious At 12 o'clock sharp we were escorted to a mess hall where we were served a delicious dinner prepared and served by prisoners of war wearing blue denim with a big "PW" marked on the shirt back.

The meal may or may not have been typically Italian. But part of it was. After pitchers of steaming coffee were passed around, the waiter at our table brought in a couple of large bowls of Italian spaghetti. Later, big platters of stew were put on the table. The stew consisted of roast pork, roast potatoes and a celery salad mixed with mayonnaise.

For dessert, there were canned pears. We ate at one end of the mess hall der. The two newest motions are in civil cases, however. Defendants in the claim case of Gertrude Dorrell vs. the estate of Lucy Surface filed a motion for a second trial.
