On the heels of news that the

Information yesterday that there
had been a successful test of a six
teen-inCh shell which perforated
fOurteen-inch plate armor at an

The tests were held at Indian
Head about three weeks ago but
the fact was reserved from pubIica-

planned that there has never been
any difficulty in an armor piercing
shell entering the side of a ship
when the line of impact is nearly
perpendicular to the side of the ves-
sell but at even small angles Of in

appeal to the Court of Appeals
The case grew out of the COM
plant of Overy Williams. of 400
w street northwest. a Treasury en-
ploye, who complained that the
woman had failed to return the
family wash although he alleged
she had had it in her possession
since June l.
The woman's explanation was
that her home was undergoing re-
pairs which necessitated cutting off
the water. She did not explain to
the court how she managed to wash
her own clothes. She came into
court in a spotless white dress.
Judge kimball held that the
clothing should have been promptly
returned even though it had not
been washed.

The Court of Appeals will be
asked to decide how long a washer
woman may detain the family wash
before such detention amounts to
n conversion of the clothing to her
own use and thereby constituting
grounds for a charge of larceny
after trust.
Judge Kimball in Police Court de-
cided yesterday that a period of

of reason and tkat any washer
