Man Held For Theft Of
Mail Truck In Raleigh

surprised today when someone stole
a mail truck from behind the post

as inaccessible as another planet.

The words came slowly out as if he were

went on giving facts which would particu-
larly concern wife, The low price of food,

Suddenly young Mrs. Bishop sat up with

Oddly enough, her relationship to David
Bishop was of use to her now, if only because
it evoked some curiosity and little pity.
At last she reached the right man. He lis
tened to her with great politeness. When she
had finished he said, It's rather tall story,

RoRD HAw-HAw of Zeesen was off the air.
All over England the new voice was no
- ticed: there had been people always who
had believed that Lord Haw- -Haw was Ger
man. for nobody they thought, could actually
possess voice that seemed to be closely mod
elled on the style of one OF Mr.. Wodehouse's
heroes. The Germans take literature seriously,
and it seemed quite probable that there had
been courses in Wodehouse at some of the
smaller Gerria;, universities But about this
new voice there was no shadow of doubt;
precise and rather lifeless, it was the voice of
typical English don. In his first broadcast
from Zeesen he referred to himself as man
young enough to sympathize with what he
called the resurgence of youth all over the
new Germany" and that was the reason -
combined with the pedantic tone - that he
was at once nicknamed Or Funkhole."
OLD Mrs. Bishop was knitting by the fire at
her house in Crowborough when young Mrs.
Bishop tuned in to Zeesen. The sock she was
knitting was khaki; it was as if she had picked
up at the point where she had dropped
stitch in 1918. The grim, comfortable house
stood in one of those long avenues. all spruce
and laurel and coating of snow, which are
used to nothing but the footsteps of old re-
tired people. Young Mrs. Bishop never forgot
that moment - the wind beating up across
Ashdown Forest against the blacked-out
window and her mother-in-la happily knit
ting and the sense of everything old and cold,
waiting for this moment.
The radio knob was turned, and the voice
came into the room from Zeesen in the middle

He said that there wouldn't be war"
Give me the telephone" The hard parent
was at last enabled to tame. =.
But you see what it means" young Mrs.
Bishop said He may be tried for treason if
we win"
"When we win," old Mrs Bishop said.
HE nickname was not altered, even after
the interviews with the two Mrs. Bishops,
even after the sub-acid derogatory little ar
ticle about David Bishops previous career.
1t was suggested now that he had known all
along that war was coming, that he had gone
to Germany to evade military service. leaving
his wife and mother to be bombed. Young
Mrs. Bishop fought almost in vain with the
reporters for some recognition that he might
have been forced by threats or even physical
violence. The most one paper would admit
was that if threats had been used David
Bishop had taken very unheroic way out.
We praise heroes as though they were rare,
and yet we are always ready to blame an
other man for lack of heroism. The name
''Dr. Funkhole" stuck.
But the worst of it to young Mrs. Bishop
was old Mrs. Bishops attitude She turned a
knife in the wound every evening at 9:l5. The
radio set must be tuned in to Zeesen, and
there she sat listening to her sons voice and
knitting socks for some unknown soldier on
the Maginot Line. To young Mrs. Bishop
none of it made sense - least of all that fiat
pedantic voice with its smooth, wel-thought
out, elaborate lies She was afraid to 60 out
now into Crowborough - the whispers in the
post Office, the old faces watching her covertly
in the library; she had her own concentration
camp at the end of the dark avenue, with her
female warder. Sometimes she thought almost
with hatred, why has David done this to me?
Why?
Then suddenly she got her answer.
The voice for once broke new ground. 1t
said, Somewhere back in England my wife
may be listening to me- am a stranger to the
rest of you, but she knows that am not in
the habit of lying"
A personal appeal was too much. Young
Mrs. Bishop had faced her mother in-law and
the reporters - she couldn't face her hus-
band. She began to cry, sitting close beside
the radio set like child beside it's doll house
when something has been broken in it which
nobody can repair. She heard the voice of her

of a sentence, and old Mrs Bishop said firmly,
That's David"
Young Mrs. Bishop made a hopeless pro-
test - 1T can't be-" But she knew it was.
Il know my son if you don't know your
husband"
1t seemed incredible that the man speaking
couldn't hear them, that he should just 60 on,
reiterating for the hundredth time the old lie
about the sinking of warship, as if there
were nobody anywhere in the world who knew
him - such as wife or a mother.
Old Mrs. Bishop had stopped knitting.
She said rs that the man they've been writ
ing about - Doctor Funkhole'?"
1T must be-
Its David"
The voice was extraordinarily convincing;
he was going into exact engineering details s.
David Bishop had been mathematics don at
Oxford Mary Bishop twisted the wireless off
and sat down beside her mother-in-law.
They'll want to know who it is" Mrs.
Bishop said.
I'VE mustn tell them. Mary admonished:
The old fingers had begun again on the
khaki sock. She said, Its our duty" Duty,
it seemed to Mary Bishop, was disease you
caught with age. You ceased to feel the tug,
tug of personal ties; you gave yourself up to
the great tide of patriotism and hate. She
said, They must have made him do it. We
don't know what threats ="
That neither here nor there"
Mary gave weakly in to hopeless wishes:
IF only he'd got away in time. never wanted
him to give that lecture course"
He always was stubborn" old Mrs.
Bishop said malevolently.

There is complete cooperation be-

Ste tes in the defense of the Ameri-
cas-, he said. obviously referring
to CocoS. Then turning to the Gala
pagoS, Mr.. Roosevelt said with equal
emphasis that there is no question
but that Ecuador is working with
the United Staes on defense mat
ters.
Sources close to Mr.. Roosevelt said
that his surveys of CocoS Island
established definitely that it is poor
ly adapted to establishment of a
base.
The president personally inspect
ed the island on visits to the Pana-
ma Canal area, 1t possesses no har-
bors and its size virtually precludes
location of a flying field. The island
is only five miles long and about
two across. It's rugged surface makes
airport construction impossible. The
island is surrounded by very deep
water and the heavy Pacific ground
swell would make it difficult for
seaplanes to operate in it's surf.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that dispatches
from San Francisco quoting Secre-
tary of Navy Frank Knox as saying
that negotiations were in progress
for acquisition of bases on Cocos
and Galapagos presented a regret
table inaccuracy. He said it depends
on what press association report
you read, and added that in this
case the reports were carried by
the United Press. Even press asso-
citation will make a mistake once
in while, Mr.. Roosevelt said.
Mr.. Roosevelt said it was obvious
that the navy would like defenses
IN the Pacific to strengthen the
more distant straegic approaches
to the Panama Canal, but repeated
that no negotiations are in progress
for acquisition of such bases.
Mr.. Roosevelt hit back at some
critics who had contended that he
had not been strictly accurate in
his first press conference revelation
OF naval base negotiations with
Great Britain, when he insisted at
that time trade of so destroyers
was not involved in the deal for
bases.
Some of his old friends, Mr..
Roosevelt said, asserted that he had
not told the truth.
But he said he believes that when
all the papers in the case are dis
closed, it will be established bevond
question that as of the day when
he made the statement at his press
conference, the statement was lit
orally true and the destroyers were
not involved.
