•American Ambulance
Ptfvers in Germany
** Entire Crew of Volunteers
Detained Because One Is
Without Passage Home
By the Aseocltted Press.
BERLIN, July 22.—Failure of one
American ambulance driver to ob
tain funds for his passage home is
resulting in detention of the entire
crew of Yankee volunteers captured
by Germans.
The fundless driver is Marcus
Joseph Clark. He was reported
missing for several weeks, but Nazi
ofBcials found him in a prison camp
afKl brought him to another camp
near Dresden, where all but one of
the drivers have been assembled.
(New York records of the vol
unteer drivers list Clark’s first
name as "Marquis,” give no de
tails as to his home town.)
The Embassy is cabling the State
Department in an attempt to get
funds for his release from the
Polish-American Ambulance Corps.
If successful, the entire group—in
cluding George F. J. King of Provi
dence. R. I.; Donald Q. Coster,
Montreal and New York; Murray
Shipley, Cincinnati; Lt. Louis
Wehrle, Berne, Ind.; Albert Ray
mond, Chicago, and Lawrence Jump,
a native of Oakland. Calif.—will be
released on condition they be sent
to the United States immediately.
Transportation and other expenses ]
Would amount to about $500 per:
man.
John Clement, Wayland, Mass., [
and Gregory H. Wait, Shelburne. I
Vt., also have been found. But they j
presumably are somewhere in;
France, bound for Lisbon, after j
their release by German author!- ;
ties at Brussels. They have their j
American passports.
German authorities also have re- '
ported Ambulance Driver Herbert j
Debelle in their custody, but so far
have been unable to locate him.
(New York records show no de
tails concerning Debelle.)
Several, including Shipley, want
to go to France, as they lived there
for many years. Shipley's fiance is
there, the embassy advised. Ger
many, however, is insisting they be
sent to the United States.
Gerald Bradford still is missing, i
with an unverified report he has
been killed. (New York records
have no details on Bradford.)
Former Empress Zita

By the Associated Press.
ROYALSTON. Mass., July 22.—
Former Empress Zita of Ausria, a
refugee from Europe's strife, ob- j

Archduke Felix, and her daughter,
Archduchess Elizabeth, she attended
services at the Church of Our Lady
Immaculate in nearby Athol and

lage after Zita and her daughter |
disembarked from a Clipper plane
in New York Saturday.
They are occupying the two-story
Colonial home of Hugh Bullock,
opposite the estate of his father,
