Hitler's legions wiped out and
scattered untold thousands of fam
lilies as they crushed through Po-
land, but to the OStrower brothers
they caused the end of a 29-year
separation.
In fearful but happy reunion on
the Union Station platform this
morning. DR.. Meyer Ostrower,
Washington optometrist, and his
wife and daughter met his brother,
Alexander Ostrower, who, with his
wife and daughter, fled his Warsaw
law Office just ahead of the Nazi
invaders.
The train from Chicago which
was bearing the three on the last
lap of their long journey was late
and DR.. Ostrower, his wife Jean
and 18-year-old daughter Henrietta
waited for more than an hour.
When the train did pull in DR..
Ostrower's face did not light up
until the last three persons came
down the platform. One was a man,
stocky, well dressed, the other a
woman, slso smartly dressed, and
the third little girl-each carrying
a suitcase, each looking around with
wide-eyed expectation.
Recognition Is Mutual.
The brothers recognized each
other at once. They did not say
anything, but walked quietly, up to
each other, shook hands and kissed
on the cheeks. In sii~ace the wives
embraced, and then the spell was
broken as DR.. Ostrower's daughter
Henrietta picked up 7-year- old
Irene, her new" cousin, kissed her
and burst into flood of tears.
I'm so glad you're here" she
sobbed. That was too much for the
others. All cried.
Evening star., 1940-11-22

Then, with the aid of his brother,
Alexander Ostrower told quietly and
in spotty English Of his life since
the fall of Poland.
They remained in Warsaw almost
up to the beginning of the siege,
then fed to Lublin, to which the
army headquarters had been moved,
and Mr. Ostrower, lieutenant in
the army, sought to be mobilized.
So rapidly had the Nazis come,
however, and so rapidly did they
sweep across the country which
they were devastating that the war
was over before Mr.. Ostrower could
get into uniform.
Moves On to Lwow.
Then, always just little ahead
of the Germans" the Warsaw law
yer continued, he moved with his
wife and little Irene to Lwow, as
the Soviets we're rolling in to oc-
cupy that city. He remained there
several months.
However, he had lost taste for
the old country and the United
States was looming before his eyes
as the one remaining land Of hope
The details he could not, or would
not repeat, but there were long
months of travel across land and
sea for thousands Of miles after the
family left Lwow-through Lithu-
ania and Asia, finally ending in
Japan.
From Japan they sailed for Seattle,
where they arrived. five days ago,
and from Seattle by train to Chica-
60, and then-Washington.
They are here with all their
material possessions in four not
very large suitcases, hoping to begin
life anew and some day to becones
American citizens.

Police Sure
Jailed Suspect
Is D. t.. Sniper
May Drag Potomac
For Gun Used in
Four Sayings

Police, convinced they have in GUS
ody the man responsible for the
Districts four "sAiper murders" to-
lay continued their search for more
Evidence and considered the possi-
Pility of dragging a section Of the
Potomac River for the death gun.
They also scheduled interviews with
number of acquaintances who may
have knowledge of the suspects
habit of pistol practice.
The investigators shrouded their
moves in secrecy. The identity of
he prisoner was closely guarded.
The facts which have been made
Erown can be summed up as fol-
ows:
Last Saturday, acting on infor-
nation furnished by citizen who
apparently was tempted by the re-
yard offered for the sniper killer,
police set up a watch outside a res
aurant in the 1700 block of Penn
ylvania avenue.
Works in Plane Plant.
After a wait, they spotted their
nan and arrested him. A revolver
vas found in his possession, but tests
howed it was not the gun used in
he four killings. Police questioning
brought out the fact that he was an
(mploye of an airplane factory in
baltimore, that he had attended COL
ege in Washington and that he
Fisited this city often.
He had served a prison term in
Indiana and had built up a hatred
or cdored people because, he said,
hey mistreated him. All the sniper's
ictims were colored.
A bank book found in his possess
ion indicated that he had $4,000
b one account. Police said they
have no idea where he got the
money.
Under A-Hour Guard.
Fearing that the man might make
ONE desperate attempt to escape or
kill himself, the police set "a
hour guard over him.
A visit to the mans rooms in
Baltimore disclosed a complete set
Il newspaper clippings on the snip
r's assaults. But no gun was found.
Police received information from
jhe tipster that the suspect had en-
kaged in pistol target practice on
|ome wooded islands in the Potomac
River near Key Bridge. They To-
kated witnesses who saw the suspect
bring the gun.
Searching these islands, they
ound trees into which bullets had
been fired. The bullets were ex-
'racted and tests made by 1t. John
Fowler, firearms expert. The bull
Its were fired from the same gun
sed by the sniper, 1t. Fowler said.
The investigators believe he may
lave thrown the pistol in the river
hear one of the islands.
Police said they had planted
lictaphone in the mans cell and
had recorded conversations between
he suspect and visitor. They de-
lied they had gotten any informa-
hon of value, however.
There are no charges against the
nan, but the detectives in charge OF
he case, although they would not

For some foolish reason, too many
of us associate beauty and romance
with youth. II is true, Of course,
that the girl In her teens and early
twenties has the advantage of a
fresh complexion, lissom figure and
unendlng vitality but there Is no
reason why the woman of thirty,
forty or even fifty should sit back
and let the younger girl take all
the laurels. The older oma has
the advantage of experience and, IL
she is willing to devote a little time
and trouble to her appearance, she
can out-dlstance her younger, less
sophisticated competitors. She has
polse that will make the younger
girl seem awkward by comparison
and an ability to meet and deal with
people which gives her q running
start from the first "how-do-you-do."
So even though you are not as
young as you'd like to be, there's
no reason to feel that you are out
of the race. Here are a few hints
which will make you look younger,
feel gayer and probably carry off
the prize the younger girls covet.
Keep Supple
First of all, you must give added
care to your figure. After thirty
a woman's figure has a tendency to
thicken, especially around the waist.
But n series of settlng-up exercises,
rigldiy adhered to, should take care
of that problem in short order. Re-
member that your posture, too, Is
important In giving you a youthful
appearance. Hold your shoulders
buck and your head up IL you would
avoid the dowager hump. And pull
In your tummy-don't rely entirely
ON your glrdle to do this chore for
you. And try to take at least a
%half-h0ur's walk In the fresh air
every day to tone up your muscles

your diet. too. Concentrate on sim

Charlie Warmers position in this matter has remained un.

The present questionable tactics of playing hide and seek
with the old age assistance vote would hardly be EMPLOYED as an
expedient at this time if the sage advice of veteran legislators like
Charles J. Warner had been followed.
