Sgt. Dick Frauhiger At Italian Depot Huge Dry Cleaning Depot Established Peninsular Base Headquarters. Italy. April 18. S/Sgt. Richard D Frauhiger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Frauhiger of 618 North Second street, Decatur, Ind.,- is serving witli the 5L64 quartermaster er laundry and dry cleaning depot, the largest dry cleaning installation ever shipped to this theater of operations. The depot is composed of 230 members of the 631st quartermaster laundry company, 230 member of the 7173 Italian laundry company and 200 Italian workers, under the command of First Lt. Paul M. Cohen, of Yonkers, N. Y. The 5L64 depot is one of the many units of the peninsular base section, the important service and supply organization for the Fifth Army and for the ground forces and installations of the U. S. air corps and the navy in the Mediterranean theater of operations. The base is commanded by Brigadier General Francis H. Oxx, of Newport, R. I. ' The depot is largely responsible for upholding the "best dressed” tradition of the American soldier in this theater. Between 4,500 and 5,000 pieces a day are received for dry cleaning and three days later they are waiting on the racks, cleaned and pressed to perfection, ready to be picked up by their organizations. The story of the 51/4 depot is a tribute to the skill and ingenuity of the entire personnel, plus the right man for the right job. Many of its members have had experience in Army and civilian dry cleaning and laundry operation. After the plant was first requisitioned it took over a week to remove the mud from the building, caused by the over-flowing of the Arno river. Many innovations were put into effect; an old raid shelter was converted into a 60,000 gallon water tank; boilers were salvaged from war torn plants in the area and improvised equipment was made to serve in the place of machinery that had not arrived. “Round the clock" work by PBS engineers and quartermaster troops completed the installation in six weeks and the depot was ready to go. In January, the first month of operation, over 60,000 pieces were processed; in one week of Febru-

ary over 25,000 pieces were processed and the total production tor the month is expected to hit well over 1000,000. At army prices, about one fourth of current civilian prices, lite plant is doing a business of over one thousand dollars a day. Equipment valued in excess of a quarter of a millioji dollars enables the depot to turn out work that would salisfy the most exacting clientele. S/Sgt. Fiauhlgei graduated from Decatur high school in 1941, and prior to entering the military service was employed by the General Electric company. Inducted in February, 1943, and overseas since August. 1943, he is entitled to wear the Mediterranean theater ribbon and the good conduct medal. At present S/Sgt. Frauhiger is launchy foreman with his quartermaster company in Italy. 0 W. E. McMichaels of Hartford City attended to business here Tuesday afternoon.
