mitted here by a 13-year-old Balti
more county school girl, who
charges DR.. Almen Greenhut, 80,
criminally assaulted her when she
went to him as a patient.
Testifying against the PHYSICIAN,
who faces the death sentence if he
is convicted, the girl said she first
went to DR.. Greenhut's office with
her aunt. After a second call, she
charged the physician sent her
aunt from the office and assaulted
her. She told her aunt at once.
The aunt went to the police. It
was arranged for the girl to re-
turn to DR.. Greenhut's office, teS-
timony disclosed, and if he at
tempted to assault her she was to
scream.
Then came the mixed signals"
On the stand the girl disclosed she
made mistake on when she was to
scream, and that consequently she
did not give the signal until she
had been assaulted again.
DR.. Greenhut, a naturalized ma
tive of Austria, has introduced the
operating table on which the al
legged assaults took place, as a chief
exhibit in his own defense. He
contends it would have been i'm
possible for the girl to have been
attacked on the table.

Shanghai Gasless,

SHANGHAI, Aug. 16 G.N.S).
Shanghai was a gassless city to-

prevent a conflagration if bombs
hit a gas main. AS a result, a
score of foreign and Chinese news
papers face suspension, as gas is
used in some operations.
Food prices have risen 40 per
cent, although there still is an
abundant supply. Gasoline and
ice were other commodities which
could not be procured. Credit,
while not exactly a commodity,
likewise was not obtainable. Those
few stores which remained open
sold for cash only.
