Draft 0bstructors
Will Pay Penalty,
Government Warns

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. CUP)-
Persons who interfere with opera
ton of the conscription law on
registration day. Oct 16, or at any
other time, will be dealt with "ef-
fectively" by the government, selec-
tive service officials said today.
Draft officials have received re-
ports that some persons and groups
opposed to the law are planning
demonstrations to induce conscien-
tious objectors to refuse to register,
There also were reports that some
organizations planned to picket reg
istration headquarters.
The conscription law provides for
non military service for persons who
are conscientiously opposed to war
"by reason of religious training and
belief" But it does not excuse them
from registering.

Witness CIings to
Belief Attorney,
Bartender Alike

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. 3. (UP)
Sam S. Allie knows today that a
courtroom isn't the place for wise
cracks" but he's still convinced that
some attorneys look like bartend~
erS.
Allie was a witness for the state
at the robbery trial of Pete Kobe
and Kobe's attorney, Richard AIR
ems, was questioning him. He had
testified that he was sitting in a
tavern when Kobe robbed the bar
tender of 5000.
What did the bartender look
like?" AhrenS asked
He looked like you" said Allie
You mean I look like a bartend-
err the attorney asked.
Well this bartender looked like
YOU" Allie said.
Ahrens. in final argument, sought
to discredit Allies statements.
You heard him say that l looked
like bartender, he told the jury.
You do" said Allie from the back
of the courtroom.
Judge Brown Harris sent a bailiff
to bring Allie before the bar and as
the officer neared him Allie re-
marked, I've been thrown out of
better courtroomS than this
Judge Harris fined Allie S25 fo2
contempt but set the fine aside
when Allie apologized
But judge" said Allie. L still
say that bartender and that lawyer
look alike"

U.S.. Trains Chute
Troops Along Line
OF German Units

WASHINGTON. Oct. CUP =
Secretary of War Henry l.. StimSon
announced today that an initial
battalion of 500 parachute troops,
patterned along the lines of Ger
manys sky soldiers. is being form
ed at Fort Benning, Ga.
The new unit will be commanded
by Maj. NJ. Miley and will be known
as the 50lSt parachute battalion.
The As enlisted men ard two Off
GERS who recently underwent eX-
perimental training at Highstown,
". j., will form the nucleus of the
battalion.
Stimson said that the initial bat
talon, when trained, will provide
the basis for the subsequent org
anization of additional parachute
units. Besides the trained nucleus,
the first battalion will be made
up of selected volunteers from the
various regular army infantry regi-
ments within the continental
United States.
The consensus of evidence is
that Germany used these units very
effectively for certain specific pur-
poses" Stimson said. They were
useful in disorganizing the head
quarters of opposing lines. Para
chute troops were sent over cer-
tain areas after the opposing forces
had been located through an eS-
pionage system.
Stimson said these parachutists
would land in the neighborhood of
enemy headquarters, ,iisrupting
headquarters and morale.

Mystery Garden Will
Be Opened to Public
On Saturday, May 4

Among the old and new gardens
open to the public during the
Georgetown garden pilgrimage on
Saturday afternoon. May 4, none
holds greater interest for the anti
quarisn and the garden lover than
the one which stretches down the
hill behind the home of Col. and
Mrs. Arthur Woods at 30l4 N street.
Open for the first time to the
public for the benefit of Children S
House, this garden is expected to
be center of interest for the
crowds who each year take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to see
Georgetown's finest gardens. Here
is a garden which was scene of
gay parties when John Laird and
his family lived there, almost $50
years ago, which stayed in the
Laird-Dunlop family for 100 years.
and where Robert Todd Lincoln
walked the brick paths during his
last years. Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
lived in seclusion after their pur-
chase of the place, and the garden
behind its high stone walls became
the mystery garden" of George
town.
A long, box-bordered brick walk
leads from the house to the old
walnut tree at the far end of the
garden. On the east side of this
walk are series of formal box
gardens divided by low brick walls
and clumps of evergreens and plant
ed in roses. tulips and early spring
flowers. On the west side a sweep
OF lawn leads to pool on the lower
level, shaded by Towering ounce
and cherry trees. Close to the
house are box and a Towering tulip
tree. The original old smokehouse
is covered with wistaria: jasmine
Chambers over the wall; lilac bursts
into bloom just as the fruit trees
are shedding their blossoms.
Another nearby garden over a
century old is that of Col. and Mrs.
Henry Leonard, at 3038 N street
NV. where wide tagged terrace
overlooks series of gardens on
three descending levels, with white
garden urns marking the steps and
a charming pool set below the stone
wall so frequently seen in George
town gardens.
The extensive gardens of Ever
may, built in 1892 and now the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. Lamont
Belin, contain some of the most
magnificent box and yew trees in
this region. Winding paths lead
through series of formal and in
formal gardens planted with flow-
ering bulbs and roses, down the
hill to the new south garden, which
Is shown for the first time this year.
The newest garden on the list is
that of Mrs. w. w. Tomlinson, at
1927 Dent place NV, so new, in
fact, that 1t is still under conStruc-
ton. A bare mud bank at the back
contrasts with already completed
borders and green grass. And visi-
tors interested in construction will
find much to enjoy.
