~ Kleberg Tells of
Page Kick-Back,
Denies Firing
By BERT WISSMAN
Representative Kleberg (D.), of
Texas, yesterday said that his
office had accepted as a "kick-
back" part of the $129-a-month
salary of a 13-year-old Capitol
page, but denied that he had been
instrumental in discharging the
boy.
The statement was made by the
wealthy Texas ranch owner in
answer to an affidavit by the
youth's. mother, Mrs. Ray Jack-
son, 300 block New Jersey Ave.
SE., in which she charged that
her son, Robert Jackson, had been |.
fired three days after she had pro-
tested to Kleberg over the Keick-
back.
For Impossible Duties
*T. now. find," Kleberg. said
"that deductions were made in)
the salary (of Robert Jackson)
that. went to defray office ex-|
penditures for duties which he
could not perform. This arrange-
ment operated from the time of
his employment on February 4,
1944."
The Texan cin pilaained that he
had not fired the boy, and Said
that his office had "given instruc-
tions to no one to remove him
from the pay roll."
"The boy was placed on the pay
roll under my patronage by my
late secretary, Bill Elliott, who
died of a heart attack some weeks
ago. Elliott," he added, "had my
t implicit faith and confidence and
was in complete charge of the run-
ning of my office.
Didn't Know "Arrangement"
"tT do not know what arrange-
ments, if any, Bill Elliott might
have made with this boy when he
was placed on the pay roll."
He said he had been informed
vesterday by Ralph Roberts,
- House doorkeeper, that the youth
had been fired for failure to re-
port for duty.
However, the statement was in
contrast' to what Roberts later
told newspapermen. 'The youth,
_the doorkeeper said last night,
- 4s still on the pay roll but-is due
"to be discharged for failure to re-
port for work. He said that the
_gackson boy had drawn his full
pay for May on June
sh
As for Kleberg's statement that
salary" deductions were made for
duties the boy could not perform, |
Roberts said. 'A page's only offi-
cial duties' are his duties as a
4 Vi page, but if a Congressman wants
to offer a boy a job with the un-
| derstanding that he also is to
- work in his office, I have noth-
ing to do with it."
'No Severance Asked
He confirmed Kleberg's state-
ment that the Congressman's
office never has requested a sev-
-erance for the youth, who is still
attending the Capitol Pages'
School.
Kleberg kept reporters waiting |
for more than two hours while
he prepared his statement. After
issuing it he refused to make any
further comment. He was visibly
irritated..
Meanwhile a pail of silence set:
tled over the Capitol and attaches
would not. talk for the record,
although some admitted it has
been "'common practice for years"
for some patronage employes to
aid their patrons. Some did ex-
tra office work while others sacri-
ficed part of their salaries, it was
said.
Hotel Operator
Fined $500
George Basiliko, operator of the
Logan Hotel at Logan Circle NW.,
yesterday was fined $500 in Mu-
nicipal Court, after pleading
suilty to charges of operating a
disorderly house.
Basiliko was arrested after a
raid on the hotel by 70 policemen
September 1, 1942. There ensued
a lengthy legal battle, with
Charles E. Ford, Basiliko's -attor-
ney, charging the arrest made
under a faulty warrant.
The case, dismissed by Judge
Nathan D. Margold, was appealed
by the Government, and the Mu-
nicipal Court of Appeals decided |
in January 1944 that the war-
rants were sound.

Johnson, 55, associate professor of
education at Catholic University,
died yesterday of a heart attack,
falling at the feet of Archbishop
Michael J. Curley in the middle of
his commencement address to
graduates of Trinity College.
Before nearly 500 emotion- struck
spectators in Notre Dame Audito-

stricken from the speaker's ros
trum as he spoke symbolic words
which epitomized his labors of 30
years in the church;
Given Final Rites
"We still have much to l�arn
about educating unto Christ in a
world that knows not Christ."
Last rites for the stricken prelate
were delivered by the Rev, Aloysius
Burggraff, C.S.P., Superior of St.
Paul's College, after which absolu-
tion for the dying man was ex-
tended by Archbishop Curley.
As if by order, the entire assem-
blage rose quietly to its feet. and
stood calmly and with reverent
mien until dismissed. Only about
50 persons were present when
Father Burggraff intoned the
prayer for the dying, some 20 min-
utes after the prelate's collapse.
- Dr. Johnson's address to the 61
young women composing the grad-
uating class was an attack on real-
ism. In it he said that the world
advocates realism even to the det-
riment of a Christian peace.
He never reached them, but the
final words of his speech' to gradu-
ates were: "Go forth and die...

Virginia Farm
Crisis Increases
Maryland and Virginia farm-
ers have increased their acreage
314 per cent over 1943, but must |
harvest crops with fewer. hands
than ever before, U. S. Agricul-
ture Extension Service spokes-
men pointed out yesterday
in pleading for additional regis-
tration of volunteer harvesters
from Washington.
"The big job has to be done
by the people of Washington,"
District Supervisor of Emergency
Farm Labor John W. Jofies said.
"The clerks, the typists, the sec-
retaries, the teachers, the busi-
nessmen-all who will 'volunteer
their help for the work that is
to be done on the Maryland and
Virginia farms."
From June through October, he
said, crops 'of pears, peaches,
apples,. tomatoes, corn, hay, meat,
'tobacco and many other products
must be cared for and harvested.
"Thousands are needed-boys
over 14, girls over 15, man and
women-to spend a. few days, a
week, or a month, in this essential
work," Jones. asserted,
Volunteers are urged to apply
at once at the U. S. Employment

tion last night ordered "B" and
"C" motorists who have not
formed car pools to organize a
ride-sharing agreement within 30
days after expiration of their
present rations or face loss of
their gas ration books. An OPA
order revealed that holders of "B"

a one-month period in which to
form a car-riding agreement after
which local boards may move to
take away their extra gasoline
rations.

Verdict Binds Young Officer
To Bride Who Can't Be Wife
By JAMES DESMOND
NEW YORK, June 5 (N. Y.
News) -'"Sickness and misfor-
tune are common to mankind
and must be borne with courage
and resignation,"-Court of Ap-
peals decision.
That was the only guide Su-
preme Court Justice Bernard L.
Shientag had, His sisi was
to determine:
1, Whether a young naval of-
ficer bound to a cripple by a never-
consummated civil marriage
should be freed to wed another.
2. Or whether the bride won by
her civil vows the right to her hus-
band's undying care-even though
she might never be a wife to him.
Never Consummated
The circumstances were extra-
ordinary. The bridegroom's suit
for annulment set forth that when
the couple went through the civil
ceremony in 1940, neither con-
sidered the vows binding. Both
24, then, they took the civil vows
merely to bind their plighted
troth.
The vows were never consum-
mated. Two months: later the
bride, making arrangements for
a religious ceremony, was crippled
'by a falling chandelier. Since
then she has been in the hospital.
That much the bride admitted.
But, she said, the love her hus-
band showered on her in the three
years after her accident was her
only reason for living-particu-
larly after her parents died.
No Precedent
There was no precedent. Justice
Shientag had to fall back on his
conscience and his experience.
"The wife,' he wrote, "was in
a sad plight. She had no one on
whom to lean for strength and
guidance other than her husband,
to whom in full vigor of young
womanhood she had plighted her
troth."
Nor could he find the husband
at fault. "For several years, he
(the husband) displayed a devo
tion that left nothing to be de-
sired ... His nobler feelings suc-
cumbed to the craving of youth
for the joy of life, for what he be-
lieved to be his right to happiness."
So today the papers in the case
were sealed forever, the names of
the principals erased from the file.
And across the folder, of what
had thus in effect become the case
of "Anonymous vs. Anonymous,"
the clerk scrawled:
"Annulment denied."

Nazis Put Down
Pro-Red Revolt
In Bulgaria
By SAM BREWER
ISTANBUL, Turkey, June 5
(C.T.P.S.).-The Germans have
put down an attempted revolt led
by. certain pro-Russian generals
in Bulgaria and now control Bul-
garia more tightly than ever, but
they know that they are sitting
on & volcano:
Nine' officers, selina two
generals, escaped to join the Rus-
sians,
Marshal Josip (Tito) Broz, and
the rest implicated were arrested,
but it. is evident. that. the Ger:
mans no longer dare trust the
Bulgarian Army. -
Cabinet: More Pro-Nazi
The cabinet, which finally was
announced late Thursday night
in Sofia after 12 days of fumbling,
is much more pro-Nazi than its
predecessor, but it does not repre-
- sent the feeling of the country.
That.is proved by the fact that
the country was virtually without
@ government for 12 days, while
the Germans tried to find men
who. would consent to serve?
The Russians have been press-
{nz the Bulgars, through diplo-
matic and propaganda channels,
to desert the Germans before it is
too late, and obviously, with the
state of public feeling as shown
by the cabinet crisis, if the Rus-
sians progress from diplomatic
pressure to armed attack, they will
find little opposition from the
Bulgarians.
Plot Nipped in the Bud
The Russians have sent the
wives and children of their diplo-
mats in Sofia to Turkey and they
gay that some of the male mem-
bers of the legation staff are fol-
lowing. That is the latest step in
Russian pressure to convince the
Bulgars that they mean business
and will take drastic action un-
less the Bulgarians cease to give
aid to Germany.
What is believed, but cannot be
ehecked, is that all this ferment
came about through an effort on
the part of the Bulgarian army to
stage a coup d'etat and force its
surrender to the Russians, The ef-
fort by the Bulgarian military
junta to s.a.ve. their . coun-
try from being dragged down with
the Nazis was nipped m the aay

and Field Marshal Gen. Erwin

new inspection tours of the Chan-

Agency disclosed today, and new
repressive measures are being im-
posed by the nervous Nazis on in-

The D.N.B. accounts followed
the usual propaganda line that
the commanders found the de-

AMG Faces Test
1 In Ruling Unique
~ City of Rome:
By SEYMOUR KORMAN
WITH THE FIFTH ARMY IN
ROME, Italy, June 5 (C.T.PS.).
The Allied Military Government
(A.M.G.) faced its biggest test as
we took over Rome today. :
-. In addition to preventing the
operation of the black market,
which has been a scandal in
Naples, and in' addition to all the
other details in taking over a city
long held by the enemy, the AMG,
beginning today, must deal with
such things unique' to Rome as
relations with the Vatican, ques-
tions of extraterritoriality and po-
sitions of diplomats accredited to
Italy by countries at war with the
Allies.
Berlin Will Be Easier
Certainly no other European
capital to which AMG ultimately
comes-even Berlin-will there be
so many involvements. Whether
AMG has profited from its mis-
takes of the past remains to be
seen in its workings here.
Now, a few hours after. we
reached the city, a liaison group
from AMG including American
and British chaplains, was as-
signed to confer with Papal au-
thorities and Harold Tittman and
Sir F. D'Arcy G. Osborne, respec-
tively American and British min-
isters resident at the Vatican. The
Vatican is being recognized as a
neutral city and is being protected
as. such and is being afforded
whatever consideration it seeks.
Guards will not be placed there
unless a Papal request is made for
them. 3 ; ee
-Extraterritoriality of Vatican
properties in Rome proper and
of friendly nationals' embassies
also are being observed.
The "mayor" of Rome today 1s
Brig. Gen. Edgar Erskine Hume,
of Frankfort, Ky., who_is head
of AMG in this area. His chief
of staff is Lieut. Col. John D.
Ames, publisher of the Chicago
Journal of Commerce.
- Hume and his staff of officers
and of enlisted men handle the
civil. administration under Maj.
Gen. Harry H. Johnson, of Eagle
Lake, Texas, who is the Rome
area commander and responsible
to Lieut. Gen. Mark W. Clark.
Work of restoring Rome _ to
normalcy -is an AMG _ under-
taking. 3
Food for the People
Quantities of food, mostly flour,
dehydrated soups, sugar, milk, are
being brought in on Army trucks
for distribution. The Germans did
not leave much food. behind.

propaganda admitted today that
the loss of Rome was a serious
blow, but tried to salvage some-
thing from the defeat by claiming
that the city was evacuated to
spare its cultural treasures.
Benito Mussolini, from his ''TItal-
ian Socialist Republic" in north-
ern Italy, said the loss of Rome
was "painful" and that he did not
intend to "belittle the scope of
this event." A German broadcast
said "'a certain loss of prestige is
not denied" and a-Nazi-controlled

A Japanese government spokes:
man, following the Nazi propa-
ganda line, said the German de-
cision to spare Rome met with
the greatest sympathy in Japan
and that. "the decency of the
German attitude is like a fresh
breath in a sticky atmosphere."
The German D.N.B. news agen-
cy said Mussolini issued a procla-
mation to his " brothers in South-
ern Italy," calling upon them to
wage guerrilla warfare against the
Allies and to "make life for the
secure." | . a aie
"The Anglo-American invaders,
to whom the mean betrayal of the
monarchy in Sicily and Salerno
opened the gates of the mother-
land, have entered Rome," Il
Duce's proclamation said.
"Painful" Situation
"This news will cause you the
gravest anxiety, just as it is pain-
ful to everyone of us," he con-
tinued, adding that he did not in-
tend to minimize the significance
of the Allied victory nor to empha-
size the length of the delaying
stand made by the Germans below

Mussolini insisted, however, that
the Germans could have defended
Rome successfully, but refused
to do so out of consideration for
the cultural and religious monu-

The balcony of Palazzo Venezia
from which Benito Mussolini
started the world on the road to

Italian flag fluttered forlornly
above it. .
In the square below, where
Italians once gathered to cheer
"Duce! .Duce!" American trucks
and tanks and foot-soldiers moved
in unending streams.
Two G.I.'s climbed up to the
marble balcony and made a
speech mimicking the jutting chin
of the fallen dictator Benito Mus-
solini. .
Thus was completed a cycle in
history. �

"We will conquer in a new order."
On December 11, 1941, declaring

A cheering crowd of Italian

They didn't understand a word.
But they laughed and cheered and
waved flags.
It was a great joke on Tl Duce.

Text of Roosevelt's Radio
Address on Capture of Rome
'Victory Still Some Distance Ahead,'
President Warns, as He Hails Triumph
The text of President Roosevelt's broadcast to the nation last
night on the occupation of Rome follows:
Yesterday, June fourth, 1944,
Rome fell to American and Al-
lied troops. The first of the
Axis capitals is now in our
hands. One up and two to go!
It is perhaps significant that
the first of these capitals to
fall should have the longest
history of all of them. The
story of Rome goes back to the
time of the foundations of our
civilization. We can still: see
there monuments of the time
when Rome and the Romans:
controlled the whole of the
then known world. That, too,
is significant, for the United
Nations are determined that in
the future no one city and no
one race will be able to control
the whole of the world.
Rome Also Provides
Christian Symbols
In addition to the monuments
of the older times, we also see
in Rome the great symbol of
Christianity, which has reach-
ed into almost every part of the
world. There are other shrines
and other churches in many
places, but the churches and
shrines of Rome are visible
symbols of the faith and de-
termination of the early saints
and martyrs that Christianity
should live and become univer-
sal. And tonight it will be a
source of deep satisfaction that
the freedom of the Pope and of
Vatican City is assured by the
armies of the United Nations.
It is also significant that
Rome has been liberated by the
armed forces of many nations.
The American and _ British
armies-who bore the chief
burdens of battle--found at
their sides our own North
American neighbors, the gal-
-lant Canadians. The fighting
New Zealanders from the. far
South Pacific, the courageous
French Moroccans, the South
Africans, the Poles and the
East Indians-all of them
' fought with' us on the bloody
approaches to the city of Rome.
The Italians, too- forswear-
ing a partnership in the Axis
which they never desired, have
sent their troops to join us in
our battles against the German
trespassers on their soil.
Allied Skill Forced
Germans Into Flight -
The prospect of the libera-
tion of Rome meant enough to
Hitler and his generals to in-
duce them to fight desperately
at great cost of men and mate-
rials and with great sacrifice
to their crumbling eastern line
and to their western front. No
thanks are due to them if
Rome was spared the devasta-
tion which the. Germans
wreaked on Naples and other
Italian cities. The Allied gen-
erals maneuvered so skilfully
that the Nazis could only have
stayed long enough to damage
Rome at the risk of losing their
armies.
But Rome is of course more
than a military objective.
Ever since before the days of
the Caesars, Rome has stood
as a symbol of authority. Rome
was the Republic. ' Rome was
the Empire. Rome was and is,
in a sense, the Catholic Church,
and Rome was the capital of a
united Italy. Unfortunately, a
quarter of a century ago, Rome
became the seat of fascism-
capitals of the Axis.
For a quarter century. the
Italian people were enslaved
and degraded by the rule of
Mussolini from Rome. They
will mark its liberation with
deep emotion. In the north of
Italy, the people are still dom-
inated and threatened by the
- Nazi overlords and their Fascist
puppets. Somehow, in the back
of my head, I still remember a
name-Mussolini. |
Our victory comes at an ex-
cellent time, while our Allied
and still later one of the three
forces are poised for another
strike at Western Europe-and
while armies of other Nazi sol-
diers nervously await our
assault. And our gallant Rus-
sian allies continue to make
their power felt more and more.
Main Objectives
Already Achieved
From a strictly military stand-
point, we had long ago accom-
plished certain of the main ob-
jectives of our Italian campaign
-the control of the major
islands, the control of the sea
lanes of the Mediterranean to
shorten our combat and supply
lines, and the capture of the
airports of Foggia from which
we have struck telling blows on
the-Continent, the whole of the
Continent, all the way to the
Russian front.
It would be unwise to. inflate
in our own minds the military
importance of the capture of
Rome. We shall have to push
through a long period of greater
effort and fiercer fighting be-
fore we get into Germany itself.
The Germans have retreated
thousands of miles, all the way
from the gates of Cairo, through
Libya and Tunisia and Sicily
and southern Italy. They have
suffered heavy losses, but not
great enough yet to cause col-
lapse.
Germany has not yet been
driven to surrender. Germany
has not yet been driven to the
point where she will be unable
to recommence world conquest a
generation hence.
"Therefore, the victory still lies
some distance ahead. That dis-
tance will be covered in due
time--have no fear of that. But
it will be tough and it will be
costly, as I have told you many,
many times,
Italian Economics
Steadily Grow Worse
In Italy the people had lived
so long under the corrupt rule
of Mussolini that, in spite of the
tinsel at the top-you have seen
pictures of them-their eco-
nomic condition had grown
steadily worse. Our troops have
found starvation, malnutrition,
disease, a deteriorating educa-
tion and lowered public health
--all by-products. of the Fascist
misrule.

pation has. been stupendous. We
have had to start at the very
bottom, assisting local govern-
ments to reform on democratic
lines. We have had to give them
bread to replace that which
was stolen out of their mouths
by the Germans. We have had
to make it possible for the Ital-
ians to raise and use their own
local crops. We have to help
them cleanse their schools of
Fascist trappings.
I think the American people
'as a whole approve the salvage
of these human beings, who are
only now learning to walk in
a new atmosphere of freedom.
Some of us may let our
'thoughts run to the financial
cost of it. Essentially it is
what we can call a form of re-
lief. At the same time we hope
that this relief will be an in-
vestment for the future-an
investment that will pay divi-
dends by eliminating fascism
and ending any Italian desires
to start another war of aggres-
sion in the future, and that
means they are additional sup-
ports for world peace.
Italians Are Capable
Of Self-Government
The Italian people are capa-
ble of self-government. We do
not lose sight of their virtues as.
a peace-loving nation.
We remember the many cen-
turies in which the Italians
were leaders in the arts and Sci-
ences, enriching the lives of all
mankind,
We remember the great sons
of the Italian people-Galileo
and Marconi, Michelangelo and
Dante-and, incidentally, that
fearless discoverer who typifies
the courage of Italy-Christo-
pher Columbus.
Italy cannot grow in stature
by seeking to build up a great
militaristic empire. Italians
have been overcrowded within
their own territories, but they
do not need to try to conquer
the.lands of other peoples in
order to find the breath of life.
Other peoples may not want to
be conquered. ,
In: the past, Italians have
come by the millions to the
United States. They have been
welcomed, they have prospered,
they have become good citizens,
community and governmental -
leaders. They are not Italian-
Americans. They are Americans
-Americans of Italian descent.
Italians Have Helped
Make Other Worlds
Italians have gone in great
numbers to the other Americas
--Brazil and the Argentine, for
example-hundreds and hun-
dreds of thousands of them-
and to many other nations in
every continent of the world,
giving of their industry and
their talents, and achieving suc-
cess and the comfort of good
living and good citizenship.
Italy should go on as a great
mother nation, contributing to
the culture and progress and
good will of all mankind-and
developing her special talents
in the arts, crafts, and sciences,
and preserving her historic and
cultural heritage for the benefit
of all peoples.
We want and expect the help
of the future Italy toward last-
ing peace. All the other nations
opposed to fascism and naziism
ought to help to give Italy a
chance.
The Germans, after years of
domination in Rome, left the
people in the Eternal City on
the verge of starvation. We
and the British will do, and
are doing, everything we can
to bring them relief. Anticipat-
ing the fall of Rome, we made
preparations to ship food sup-
plies to the city, but, of course,
it should be borne in mind
that the needs are so great
and the transportation require-
ments of our armies so heavy
that improvement must be
gradual. We have already bee
gun to save the lives of the
men, women and children of
Rome. !
This, I think, is an example
of the efficiency of your ma-
chinery of war. The magnificent
ability and energy of the Amer-
ican people in growing the
crops, building the merchant
ships, making and. collecting
the cargoes, getting the sup-
plies over thousands of miles
of water and thinking ahead: to
meet emergencies - all. this
spells, I think, an amazing
efficiency on the part of our
armed forces, all the various
agencies working with them,
and American industry and la-
bor as a whole.
Batting. Average
Is Very High
No great effort like this can
be a hundred per cent perfect,
but the batting average is very,
very high.
And so, I extend the con-
gratulations and thanks to-
night of the American people
to General Alexander, who has
been in command of the whole
Italian operation; to General
Clark and General Leese of
the Fifth and the Eighth
armies; to General Wilson,
the Supreme Allied Commander
of the Mediterranean theater,
and General Devers, his Amer-
ican deputy; to Lieutenant Gen-
eral Eaker, to Admirals Cun-
ningham and Hewitt, and to
all their brave officers and men.
May God bless them and
watch over them and over all
of our gallant fighting men.

Girl Indicted
~ In Slaying of
~ Maryland Youth
A love slaying and the purchase
of a stolen set of teeth 'were
charged in 39 indictments re-
turned by a District Grand Jury
today. -
~The Grand Jury ignored 10
other indictments which were
sought.
Named in a second-degree mur-|
der indictment was 18-year-old
Phyllis Marie Junghans, who shot
and killed Lewis R. Hindle, 21, of
T .B., Md., in her apartment in the
1600 block K St. NE.
The girl,
from: a sailor she married when
she was 16, had been going with
Hindle four months when she shot
him, police said. The girl is rep-
resented by Charles E. Ford.
Purchase of the illegally ob-
tained lower plate was charged to
Joseph F. Briggs, Negro, 20, of
Aberdeen, N. C. The teeth were
stolen by a juvenile from Ida N.
Washington, 1000 block P St.
NW.., police asserted.
Sidney and Samuel Kalker, op-
erators of Witt and Co., Inc.,
were charged with violating the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act by offering; on December 17,
1943, for interstate transportation
29,004 pounds of 'filthy, putrid
and decomposed beef."
The meat was accepted by the
Schultz Refrigerated Service, Inc.,
of Philadelphia, for shipment to
'Sol Greisler and Sons there, the
indictment stated. The Schultz
firm was indicted for violating
the pure food laws on two counts
and its operators face a maximum
penalty of three years' imprison-
ment and $11,000 in fines.
Robert Waverly Hicks, 39, for-
mer District employe and self-
styled ''criminologist'" who aided
in investigations of the murder of.
Corinna Loring in 1935 and the
Lindbergh kidnaping, was _in-
dicted on a charge of stealing
Federal records from Civil Service
Commission files,
Hicks was arrested by the Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation on
the strength of a report by a
District policeman, who said he
found the amateur detective
emerging from a house in the
1500 block Vermont Ave. NW.
with the missing records.

Bratcher's New
Attorney
May Question Court Power
'Leslie C. Garnett, former U. S.J
Attorney for the District, was add-
ed to counsel defending Orchestra
Leader Everett "Washie" Bratcher
on charges of draft evasion in
Alexandria yesterday and prompt-
ly announced he might question
the jurisdiction of the Federal
Court. sitting in Virginia.
Garnett's attachment to Brat-
cher's defense was disclosed as the
grand jury returned inidctments
before Federal District Court for
Eastern Virginia against the musi-
cian and 17 others for alleged vio-
lation of the Selective Service
Act. rn
After receiving the indictments,
Judge Robert N. Pollard gave at-
torneys for both sides in the
Bratcher case until June 19 to file
motions.
Garnett, who will assist Attor-
ney T. Edward O'Connell in de-
fending Bratcher, indicated the
challenge of the court's territori-

the fact that Fort Myer's southern

It was at this post of the mili-

examined for military service sev-

and subsequently accused of tak-

evade induction.
His attorneys at the time vigor-
ously but unsuccessfully fought
removal of the case from Wash-
ington to Alexandria, contending
that the entire case against the
swing-band leader was based on
'hearsay evidence."
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough,
of District Court here, however,

ing to Washington from all thea-
ters all the time without interfer-
ing with the war," Clark said, cit-
;|ing the recent visit of Gen. Mark
Clark from Italy.
Senator Taft questioned the ad-
visability of Congress passing any
measure pertaining to investiga-
tions of extensions of the statute
of limitations in connection with
the Pearl Harbor catastrophe,
"T see no reason to pass any-
thing at all or assuming the re-
sponsibility of relieving the execu-
tive branch. of the Government of
its responsibility which it has so
signally failed to meet in the mat-
ter of Pearl Harbor," Taft said.
Senator Ferguson (R.), of Mich-
igan, author of the resolution,
urged its passage.
"Tf Congress takes no action at
all it is almost a certainty that
no action will be taken else-
where," Ferguson declared.
Calls for Immediate Probe
The resolution instructs the
Secretaries of War and Navy to
institute 'forthwith' investiga-
tions into factors contributing to
the Pearl Harbor tragedy and to
bring charges and proceed with
action against such persons as
the evidence justifies at their dis-
cretion.
"Until the day before the reso-
lution was considered by the Sen-
ate Judiciary subcommittee," Fer-
guson said, "the War Department
had taken no steps to compile
evidence although two and a half
years had passed since the catas-
trophe."
Senator Hatch said that the
Army, Navy and Attorney General
had held that congressional ac-
tion to extend the statute of limi-
immunity.. Be
tions or delay the trials," Hatch
said. "We have gone into the
matter thoroughly in committee
have a public hearing at this
time." Jae 3
Senator Clark asked Hatch if
he thought the Japanese did not
already know all there was to
know about the atack on Pearl
Harbor. "The only people in the
dark on that are the American
people,'' Clark said.
Too Late, Says Chandler = �
Senator Chandler (D.), of Ken-
tucky, entered the debate with
were not. sufficient to
Congress to do anything."
He explained the statute of
limitations ran for two years after
extend it on December 7, 1943, the
President had not signed the
measure until December 20.
*The President appointed a
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court Owen J. Roberts) to inves-
tigate and it may be the Army
and Navy construed this action
as taking the matter out of their
hands. AT
"We were not ready at Pearl
Harbor. I'd hate to see the Amer-
ican people find two scapegoats
to take the blame. I do not be-
lieve Admiral Kimmel has done
anything wrong," said the Ken-
tuckian. "He has been in the
Navy for 40 years and has risen
to the highest rank. He must
up."
Sees Army-Navy Battle
"So far there are no charges
made against Admiral Kimmel or
General Short. It may be that the
Army's investigation will show the
Navy to blame and the Navy in-
vestigation show the Army to
blame. We would then have the
Army and Navy fighting each
other instead of fighting to win
the war,' Chandler added.
Senator Ferguson said that no
persons other than Kimmel and
Short had been required to sign
waivers of immunity under the
statute of limitations. }
"This is not an ordinary situa-
tion," he reminded. "These two
officers have their lips sealed by
Army and Navy regulations, and
are not able to disclose the truth.
"When the Roberts Commission
made its investigation and report-
ed on Pearl Harbor ... it did not
have the facts disclosed by the
publication of the State Depart-
ment's white paper (concerning
U. S.Japanese diplomatic rela-
tions up to December 7, 1941)."
"Whether higher-ups were re-
sponsible should be determined,"
Ferguson said. "We should deter-
mine who is guilty, if anyone."
j Ferguson suggested that the
bor affair will be cold by the time |
tations was unnecessary as both | gaps
Kimmel and Short had waived | @T
"There has been no attempt by
anyone to hush up the investiga- |\@
and it was generally agreed that �
it would be a grave mistake to |
the assertion that if the waivers |}
signed by Kimmel and Short|

future trials, "it is too late for |
the Pearl Harbor attack and al- |ess
though Congress had voted to ae

picion until this matter is cleared ||
Senate could review the evidence
uncovered by the Army and Navy
investigations ''at executive ses-
sion, if necessary. We could see
that all departments of Govern-
ment give their full co-operation
in getting all of the evidence: The
evidence should be perpetuated."
Senator Johnson (D.), of Colo-
rado, reminded the Senate it had
the power to conduct its own in-
vestigation. Senator Walsh (D.),
of Massachusetts, chairman of
the Naval Affairs Committee,
questioned the soundness of ask-
ing the Secretaries of War and
Navy to "investigate themselves."
Representative Maas (R.), of
Minnesota, a member of the
Naval Affairs Committee, told the
House the committee had been
denied the original testimony be-
fore the Roberts Commission in-
vestigating the disaster.
Representative Celler (D.), of
New York, said the record of Pearl
Harbor was contained in the
Roberts report but he was re-
"minded by Short that "there are
two Roberts reports: One for pub-
lic consumption, and another for
the archives which you and I
have never seen."
Representative Knutson (R.),
of Minnesota, advocated a speedy }
and public trial for 'I think this
should be brought into the open
to determine whether he (Presi-
dent Roosevelt as commander in
chief) has the capacity to carry
this war on as 'it should be."

Getting value out of the food you eat
is your No. 1 health problem whether
you eat 500 or 2,000 pounds yearly.
To do this, scientists say, you must
have an adequate supply of natural
stomach digestive juices and rich, red-
blood must be present.
Improper diet, overwork, undue wor-
ries, colds, the flu or other illness often
impairs the stomach's digestive func-
tions and reduces the red-blood strength.
A person who is operating on only a
10 to 75% healthy blood volume or a
stomach digestive capacity of only 50
to 60% normal is severely handicapped.
Undigested food sours, causes gas...
bloating ... fails to supply the neces-
RICH, RED BLOOD!
sary body energy ... tissue repair...
often resulting in nervousness and loss
of energy.
So with ample stomach digestive juices
PLUS RICH, RED-BLOOD you should
enjoy that sense of well-being which de-
notes physical fitness ... mental alert-
ness!
If you are subject to poor digestion
or susp�ct deficient red-blood as the
cause of your trouble, yet have no or-
ganic complication or focal infection,
SSS Tonic may be just what you need
as it is especially designed (1) to pro-
mote the flow of VITAL DIGESTIVE
JUICES in the stomach and (2) to build-
up BLOOD STRENGTH when deficient,
These two important results enable
you to enjoy the food you do eat...
to make use of it as Nature intended.
Thus you may get new vitality ... pep
.-.become animated...more attractivel)
Build Sturdy Health
and Help America Win
Thousands and thousands of users have
testified to the benefits SSS Tonic has
brought to them and scientific research
shows that it gets results-that's why so
many say "SSS Tonic builds sturdy health

years ago, June 5, 1943.

Strong in adversity. ready to do,
Gentle, unselfish, a friend ever true,
Our proudest possession, dear Mother, was
you.

With a wingspread of 200 feet, the Martin Mars would
span two-thirds the length of a football field. The flying
boat's hull, 117 feet from bow to stern, includes two
full-length flight decks, with space for cargo, a crew of
| 15, and more than a score of passengers,
die: casually and without fanfare, begins another great story
in the history of aviation. For the Martin Mars is the larg-
est air cargo transport in the world, and her recent maiden flight
from'San Francisco to Hawaii matks one mote step toward the
coming age of supet-transports.
Harnessed to giant 3-blade Curtiss Electric propellers pow-
eted by four 2,200 horsepower Wright Cyclone engines, the
Mars has already established many new records of performance.
On a test run from Maryland to Brazil, for instance, this mam-
moth flying liner took off at a gross weight of 148,560 pounds
-nearly 75 tons-and flew 4,375 miles non-stop to Natal. On
The-Marts has the bulk of a 15-room house, yet flies and even
climbs with two of her 1614-foot Curtiss Electric propellers
at a standstill. Also, the Curtiss Automatic Propeller Speed
Synchronizer enables the pilot by a single control to hold all
the propellers and power plants in perfect step.

one leg of the return journey, 35,000 pounds of cargo were
cattied-the largest payload ever transported by air.
Opetating today in the South Pacific as a member of the
Naval Air Transport Service, performance such as this is an
everyday occurrence for the Mars-a triumph of years that have
been packed with the most closely coordinated research in air-
frame, propeller and engine design.
Today, the men and women who build the propellers for
this great plane share with the builders of the Mars their pride
in her performance. As part of the best trained team of workers
in the world-the 5,000,000 who fly; service and build America's
On water surfaces the maneuverability of the giant Mars is greatly
simplified by the operation of reverse thrust. This -means that by
reversing the angle of the propeller blades, the braking action
obtained can be utilized to turn the huge-cargo liner literally "in her
tracks," as illustrated in the diagram above, ee
ait power, they share, too, the hope which that power holds.
_ For an enlightened public sponsoring sound policies can
make of aviation's skills the most important legacy of this war
.., can make of our airpower a force for good, for lasting peace
and a closer understanding between the nations of the world.
Look to the Sky, America!

Petrillo Speech |
To Musicians
Blasts AFL Head
CHICAGO, June 5 (C.T.PS.).
James C. Petrillo, president of
the American Federation of Mu-
sicians (AFL) opened that union's
forty-eighth convention .
with an attack upon William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor. Among
other charges, Petrillo said that
Green has done nothing to clean
out "racketeers and. crooks"
from labor leadership. |
Petrillo accused Green. of. fail-
se Sas ' Jing to repudiate the spread of|
| hee 'strikes in war industries, of lack-
snk 'tional rows and of being largely

'to see that the employers are also
addressed through the medium of
the official record of the conven-
tion. Petrillo did not specify
whom he referred to when he
talked about employers not being
officials who betray their mem-
berships.
Radio Called Valueless
Recent strikes by musicians in
radio stations in Chicago and St.
Paul led to Petrillo's grievance
against Green. The stations re-
jected Petrillo's demand that
union members replace the em-
ployes who change records on:
"canned music" programs. Green,
notified of the situation by the.
stations, repudiated the strikes as.
violations of labor's no-strike
pledge. Petrillo called the sta-
tions insignificant and said
neither was of any value to the.
war effort.
"Did Bill Green repudiate any.
strike of machinists on the West.
Coast when they tied up muni-�
tions and supplies necessary for
our soldiers?" Petrillo asked. "Did
he. repudiate any of. the AFL
strikes which are 'spreading.
throughout the country?" 7
"Now we have a labor leader

Rome Falls--and Stands
"Capture of Rome by the 'Allien. after a nine-month
campaign is a step on the road to Allied victory, and
something to cheer about.
A thing to cheer just as loudly ahnut is that Rome,
though it fell to the Allies, remained 95
per cent intact as the great modern city
'and repository of religious and historical
monuments that it is. If it had been
laid in ruins, the tragedy would have been irreparable,
Rome being unique as the fountainhead of our Western
civilization and culture.
Rome has been conquered before, cf course, and many
times, and the damage on some of. these occasions. has
been considerable. The sack of Rome by Alaric's Visi-
goths in 410 was a bad one; that of Charles V's Germans
in 1527 was another. 'The Romans themselves in the
Middle Ages did a slow but effective job of sacking one
of their own chief buildings, the great Colosseum, begun
by the Emperor Vespasian in A.D. The medieval
Romans quarried building stones from the Colosseum,
making away altogether with an estimated two-thirds of
the structure's original stone fabric. = anelth
But these episodes would have been minor as com-
pared with the destruction which could have been dealt
Rome by the blockbusters which are among the orna-
ments of our present-day high civilization. The city
would have been reduced to rubble if the Allies and the
Germans had proved unable to agree to treat it as an
open city. | |
This feat was accomplished, however; and we can
breathe easier and feel somewhat better about the war
as a result.

The Russians seem to be pleased about the whole.

There is much jubilation in Washington and London,
and the German propaganda is trying to play down

~ Moscow v ys. "Chungking
The Moscow magazine called War and the Working
Class in its current issue prints an article on China's
Chungking government (Chiang Kai-shek) Weck has
some interesting implications.
Chungking, says War and the Working Class, is fight-
ing Japan only halfheartedly, offers flabby alibis
whenever its armies take a defeat, is getting all possible
help from the United States and Great Britain, and
wastes a lot of energy containing the
Russian Aid big Chinese Communist armies of
Gen. Hu Tsu-nan im Northwest China.
To the Japs. "These Chinese Communist soldiers,
says the Moscow magazine, are really nice fellows. and
good fighters, and would be a great help to Chiang if
he would only play ball with them.
- The incident looks like another ectlontion that Russia
intends to engorge all or part of China after this war,
and make these territories part of a Russian Communist
empire.
The logical complaint from the Western: Allies would
be that Russia could do a lot better "by the common
cause if it would let us have some air bases in Siberia,
from which to bomb Japan, instead of im effect helping
Japan by letting the Chinese Communists remain as a

either Washington or London registering 'such a com-
plaint, though. 3
All of which is another aspect of the bizarre, com-
plex, macabre war in which we are engaged. It is
probably not the last of these MAP ORES that we shall

HAVE YOU SAVED A LIFE
WITH A BLOOD DONATION?
In the event of serious hemor-
rhage with substantial loss of
blood, there is no remedy quite
so efficient as a transfusion.
We assume,
of course,
that oozing
has" been
stopped so
that the new-
ly injected
fluid cannot
escape from
the. vessels.
Under com-
bat condi-
tions partic-
. ularly, speed
and the necessity for immedi-
ate aid is so great that rein-
forcements will need to be em-
ployed at once. There just isn't
enough time to set up the trans-
fusion procedure. Blood plasma,
then, becomes our most valu-
able aid.
Although there is very little
difference between the net ef-
fect of plasma and serum, we
know that the former can be
kept in a liquid state for ap-
proximately two years without
serious alteration of the mate-
rial. But the product should
not. be exposed to heat. Any
level above 100 degrees F. will
bring deterioration. The same
is true if the thermometer drops
too low. At any rate, the sub-
stance is always filtered before
it actually enters a vein.
Dried plasma offers many
advantages. Typing is unneces-
sary and there are no storage
or time limitations. The emer-
gency package is composed of
the proper quantity of sterile
water, to which a bit of citric
acid has been added. Although
it is easy of solution, one pre-
caution should be observed-
namely, that the _ solvent
[water] should not be warm.
In fact, if the temperature is
100 or above, precipitation is �
likely to occur within a very
few minutes.
As a rule, the remedy can be
made ready for injection
quickly. It thus becomes. an
ideal antidote in shock due to
burns or in the early treat-
ment of lacerations. How much
should be used? Enough to
fill the vessels. In other words,
circulation may be restored to
normal. We should recall that
plasma contains everything in.
the vital liquid except the cor-
puscles.
Another important derivative .
is serum albumin. Although
there are special cases in which
this preparation is extremely
beneficial, certain dangers at-
tend its employment. If admin-
istered in concentrated form, it
may increase hemorrhage or
withdraw. fluid from the cells..
Neither serum albumin nor
plasma can replace whole blood,
other than in burns. Even in
the latter, more corpuscles will
be demanded eventually. For-
tunately, thanks to the gener-
ous donations to the Red Cross
on the part of many of our citi-
zens, we have a continuing sup-
ply of plasma, which can be
shipped anywhere and every:
where, When we see pictures of
our wounded servicemen, it is
thrilling to realize that a: small
amount of our own blood may
have been the means of saving
lives.
In World War II our Army
and Navy physicians have been
highly successful in neutraliz-
ing the evil effects of wounds
and accidents of various types.
These helpful procedures. in-
clude not only transfusions, the
sulfa drugs, penicillin, etc., but

CAPITOL STUFF
By John O'Donnell �
EHIND the closed doors of the House prone.
B tions Committee (executive session and reporters
barred) the worthy Office of War Information,
in the process of asking for more public dough, has
extolled the efforts of the Writers' War Board.
This is a peculiar literary growth which has managed to suck
some cash out of the Treasury in the way of office rent, trans-
portation, etc. And at the same time beat its breast. in public,
how! its personal patriotism to the heavens and from the safety
of Manhattan, Long Island, or Connecticut bravely shout for
the extirpation of the Teutonic race.
Dr. Elmer Davis, chief of OWL, and some of his sae lekaatte eX:
plained to the gentlemen of the House who control the public
purse why the Writers' War Board was really wei tate to win the war.
T SEEMS that the board, headed up by detective story writer
Rex Stout, backed up by such well-known names as columnists
Franklin P. Adams, Samuel Grafton, Clifton Fadiman, William
Shirer, Paul Gallico, etc., keep in touch with "nearly 5,000 writers."
The OWI keeps an office in New York to tip off the War
Board writers, said Dr. Davis, on smart ideas for stories, poems,
slants, twists-'"what might be pressing war needs"'-and they
in turn pass it on to the different writers, "who include people
who might write for newspapers, who write books, who write for
magazines, and in a number of other fields."
Said the worthy Dr, Davis, by way. of explaining the efforts of
OWI to encourage wartime belles lettres via tax-supported liaison
with the panting heroes of the Writer's Board:
"They. (the writers) get information as to the needs of depart-
ments of the Government ., . Occasionally they get paid by
magazines for the contributions they produce... we pay oe the
clerical help in our liaison office."
ATER came the testimony that OWI paid for office space out
of its appropriation and later submitted a statement which
indicated that $17,100 had been dished out for 'personal services,"
$3,000 for communications, $3,926 for rents and utilities, $4,000
for "'special services," etc., etc., etc.
With this set-up of 5,000 "writers," recognized and backed up
_by OWI through the tax-supported "'liaison'" bureau of OWT, it is
of more than passing interest to note what advice the zealous
practitioners of literature are getting from the appointees of the
Roosevelt Administration.
We have been reading the latest copy of the "Writers' War
Board report," which contains a lot of helpful hints of how to
slant your short stories, poems, skits, scenarios, detective yarns,
news stories, Sunday features, radio scripts, etc., along the
mental channels of the Broadway bund of belles lettres,
E QUOTE-This is from. the June 1 report:
"GERMAN IMPORT-From first to last, race hatred has
been a standard weapon, an export item of Germany.
Germans, and their. native American Fascist admirers, are
stirring up any and every kind of race hatred in the United
States, for the deliberate purpose of fostering a political and
intellectual climate in which a confused and disgusted American
people might countenance a soft peace for Germany.
"But this is the point ... We cannot, as writers, limit the
blame for race hatred to enemy influences. It is not so simple.
Race hatred is rooted in the native soil and the cheap labor
racket of America. It is commonly excused, and even people
with active consciences are drugged into insensitivity by the
perpetuation of the myth that this is a white, Anglo-Saxon,
Protestant country and that Negroes, Mexicans, Jews, Catholics
ad es are, and of a Taht should be, cansinered inferior,
66 RITERS play a considerable part in furthering the "old
stock" swindle in picking out only Anglo-Saxon names for
their attractive characters and marrying them in Protestant
churches and giving them only inferiority- emphasizing 'relation-
ships to menial Negroes, ignorant working class Catholics,
shyster or comic Jews, slovenly if picturesque Mexicans, and So on..
"In short, the time seems to have arrived for writers to stop
shaking their heads about other people's race bigotry and ex-
amine their own very considerable contribution to it through the
constant influence of magazine, book, screen, and radio plus the |
snobbish inferences of Paver ety copy. "

DEAR WASHINGTON
By Helen Essary
Ts last time I saw Rome the moon was fat and
yellow over the Colosseum.
The moon was also
disinterested, and cast a pale glance at our little'
trio of tourists.
Poor old dear, she had seen;so much
from her pagan B. C. days on in that Colosseum. Caesars
and yelling multitudes, |
thumbs turned down, and
lions and Christian mar-
tyrs, triumphant heroes,
cringing slaves, marble
grandeur.
And now what did this par--
ticular part of her orbit reflect?
Some ruined arches, toppling
columns, overgrown bushes and
weeds high as b hes,
three chilly Bs
American
tourists in
tan - steamer
coats, and.a
'} tribe of cats,
wild and
wailing and
half starved,
with never a
Christian to
gnaw on.
It occurred
to me that,
the cats
might take to
ghawing on
tourists. Es-
pecially American tourists. It
was the custom of the country
(Italy) and all other countries
to gnaw on American tourists
then. It still is the custom of
all countries to gnaw on Ameri-
can tourists. Only now we call
the habit '"lend-lease."
Anyhow, my tourist friends of
Helen Essary
10 years ago and I were afraid
of the thought they might be
the ghosts of the poor creatures
slaughtered to make those old-
time Roman holidays.
hurried back to the brighter
city, got us a cab aS soon aS we
could hail one, and. trotted
home to the Hotel De Russie,
where we were staying.
That business of getting a ,
cab in Rome-or anywhere else
in Italy always wrung my
heart and tied my nerves into
Girl Scout knots. I could
never decide which kind of a
cab I should hail-one drawn
by a thin, disillusioned, knock-
kneed old horse. Or one drawn |
by a plump, hopeful,
horse.
young
HIS was the complication.
Obviously the thin horse
needed food. But how could I
know that its driver, when I
gave him a fare and triple tip
would not spend the lush Amer-
ican money on red wine, a loaf
of bread and another "thou"
beside him under the olive
trees?
Yet a fat horse-drawn cab
didn't seem to need fare so
desperately. What choice
could a purse loose American
tourist make?
HE Colosseum was mournful
that night. It was the past.
But the Hotel de Russie which
was the present and had nice
- hopes of a future was not
mournful. We had supper out
in the garden. There may have
been rats underfoot as is the
custom after dark even in bleak
civilized Washington gardens.
But we tried not to mind
So we
haa. scurryings under. the
trees,
We ate big dark cherries
served on pomegranate leaves
from pale green glass plates and
a delicious casserole of some:
thing that may have been a
Colosseum cat done with claret
sauce. The light from our Flor-
entine candles flickered on the
marble statues of Venus and
Mars silhouetted against Cy:
presses, .
There was the music of gui-
tars and the gay little sound of
water trickling in a Cupid foun-
tain,
HERE was always music in
Rome. Wherever you were.
In the mornings the delivery
boys would whistle arias from
the operas. At night home-going
youths would sing in the solemn
streets-maybe '"The Toreador"
-in hopes of conquering some
"Carmen" of the moment.
Of course we went to the
opera. Our hotel got us a
box. They said nothing but a
box was left for this gala eve-
ning for the Great Mussolini

Was it not the name day of
Tl Duce? Ah yes, it was in-
deed so. The American ladies
were most fortunate to be able
to be there for such a celebra-
tion. This was why it would be
necessary to charge so high a
tariff-more than had at first
been estimated. Ah, grazie ma-
donna.
HE opera was "Faust." But
naturally the hero of the
splendid occasion was Il Duce.
He was magnificent in glory.
Theatrical in manner. He
smelled a red rose during nine
scenes and four intermissions.
Somewhat in the manner of
Ferdinand, the genteel bull who
also loved to sniff flowers-now
that I look back. The two
other American ladies and I
introduced ourselves to the
Great Man during an intermis-
sion.
Such behavior was brash,
of course. But I noticed that
when we acted and talked
"American," the Senor smiled
in his pre-Hitler way.
Naturally we did the art gal-
leries-the last time I saw Rome.
We saw and heard so much
about Michelangelo-about the
paintings, the statuary, cathe-
drals, fountains and such done
by this architect, painter-genius
that I began to think the old
fellow had been a factory in-
stead of a man.
Rubens had been prolific,too.
he painted in such opulent
curves.
HELPFUL American cardi-
nal had gotten us an invi-
tation to meet His Holiness,
the Pope.
We were thrilled over this
honor and carefully followed
the Vatican audience rules for
women-covered arms and
neck, longish skirts and head-.
