War Marriages Too Apt
To End in Failure

braid The glow Of adventure and
the glamour Of passion l firmly
believe they haven't one chance
in q thousand of success.
For lasting marriage is not
founded on emotion. Emotion is
merely the come-on though
mighty effective one, III
admit. But the force that keeps
union going is something else
again. a far from glamorous
something else!
Your parents and mine knew
what II took 10 hold a family
or a nation together.
They knew that marriage
wasn't Just "a happy ending"
but an extremely tough begin
ming on long and arduous trail.
Marriage isn't made in heaven.
It's Just started there-and you
have TO tackle a lot of hells If
you wish TO keep 1t a going
business.
Growing together
Hells of poverty and tragedy
dissolution and discomfort. IT.
ritation and mutual cussedness.
For marriage doesn't mean just
living together--it means grow
ing together with little
tykes. C hances are. being
nodded and menaced by your
brawls and blunders.
Marriage is a conservation
but it's also a dedication TO a
life long headache. And it takes
a mighty lot OF loving to make
any couple bear that strain.
Dismal Failure
All OF which boils down TO this
war time marriages may look
lovely on the society page but
they are apt TO be an Al flop
when the gold braid has been
ordered overseas and the bride
settles down TO live life without
a daily date.
Then they'll both discover. 10
their increasing surprise and
horror, that marriage isn't a
matter of romance or adventure
that IT demands, especially Of
modern youth, a closer and
deeper bond.
That bond came naturally In
our grandfather's time. There
were babies to be born fields
to be Sown Varmints 10 be
killed homek chores TO be
shared, and these things bound
them close through their very
hardship and responsibility.
They were the continuation of
the marriage vow ID. God weld
ing two souls into one.
But war marriage? Nine
times out of 10 it's rose tinged
excitement - whoopy adventure
and a dismal failure. Don't
tackle ii or any other marriage
unless you're ripe and ready 10
take life n the chin-teeether.

u. S. Forces
Advance on
GuuduIcunuI

American forces on Guadal-
canal made further advances
west of the Matanikau River on
November % East longitude
time), the Navy said today, after
night attacks on Jap positions
by American planes.
Japanese troops were active in the
Mambulo and Upper Matanikau
River regions, the communique
added, without giving definite in
formation on the fighting or the ex-
tent of American advances. The
Mambulo holdings are said to be
about miles from the beach on the
southwark side of the island.
In the air attack on enemy posi-
tions no estimate of the damage or
effect Of the attack was given.
Observers saw in the Mambulo
concentration an attempt to attack
American holdings from another di-
rection, while our forces are ham
mering to drive the Japs westward
on the northern edge Of the island.
Naval observers explained informal
ly, however, that the Japanese had
been scattered all through the west
ern, southwestern and northwestern
parts Of the island and would be diff
f1cult to dislodge due to the terrain.

12-Pound Turkey 10 Cost
D. {. Housewife About So

The ceiling price for turkeys in
District stores this Thanksgiving will
range from 40 to 54 cents a pound
for grade A dressed birds, the Office
Of Price Administration estimated
today.
Under the recently established
price ceilings on fowl, the OPA said,
a top-quality bird of around IL
pounds would cost the housewife
approximately $6 this year. Prices
are likely to be more uniform this
year than ever before, it was fore
cast.
The price-ceiling in large volume
stores doing more than $25O,0O0 an
nual business will be 40 cents a
pound here, according to the OPA.
A local check showed that in some
OF the chain stores at least turkeys
would be sold at 2 or 3 cents under
this ceiling price.
In small-volume stores in the Dis
trict the ceiling price will be 81
cents a pound, but the press of
competition may force many Of
these stores to sell below this price,
a survey indicated.
These prices were for top-grade
turkeys only. Turkeys arriving on
the market alive and dressed by the
retail butcher will be slightly high
er. while grade B turkeys will run
about IL cents less than grade A.
Grade c turkeys should figure 4
cents per pound below the grade A
fowl.

Burger Takes Stand
AGAINST leiner in
n. Y. Treason Trial
Suboteur Serving Life
Term Says He Still Is
Member Of Nozi Party
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-With a
smile and an air of defiance, Ernest
Peter Burger, one of eight Nazi
saboteurs sent by submarine to the
United States last June, testified in
Federal Court today that he still is
member of the Nazi party and a
German subject.
Burger, whose sentence of death
after military trial was commuted
to life in prison, was a witness in
the treason trial of Helmut Leiner,
33year-old German gardener.
Leiner is accused of giving aid and
comfort to two others of the sabo-
teurs, Werner Thiel and Edward
John Kerling, who landed in Florida
and were put to death after convic-
ton before the military tribunal.
Kerling's Widow Testifies.
Kerling's widow. Mrs. Maria Ker-
ling, under detention at Ellis Island
as an enemy alien, also testified
today.
Burger said he had been a United
States citizen, but that his citizen
ship lapsed when he returned to
Germany, where he became a men,
Der Of the Nazi party in 1928.
When asked by Defense Counsel
Charles A. Oberwager If the mill
tary court in Washington also had
condemned him to death, Burger
replied in the affirmative.
Then were you pardoned?" Ober-
wager queried.
TT would seem So Burger
answered.
Burger repeated the story he has
told in previous trials-of the train
ing Of the Saboteurs, of their de-
parture in two groups by subma-
rine on their mission, which he said
was to destroy aluminium plants
and railroad lines leading to them
in the United States.
Tells of Meeting Leiner.
Mrs. Kerling, who said her hus-
band returned to Germany from this
country in 1941, testified that she
met Leiner in response to a .tele-
phone call on June 81, 1912, and
that he told her "he had a blind
date for me-"
She refused to consent to it, she
said, and Leiner then whispered:
Eddie is here"
Mrs. Kerling said she and Hedwig
Engemann. friend of Kerling's.
went with Leiner to a midtown res
taurant, where they waited an hour
and half, but that Kerling did not
appear.
Miss Engemann, who told the
court at the opening session of the
trial yesterday that Kerling had
revealed his submarine trip to
Leiner five days after the saboteurs
landed in Florida, has pleaded
guilty to charge of misprision of
treason.

Rivers had based the plea on the
absence of nine witnesses he had
subpcenaed, all of whom he re-
ported are now in the Army or Navy.
He said the witnesses might rot be
needed, however, if the prosecution
attempts to prove expenditures were
illegal about which they are not
concerned.
Judge Moore said that under the
present status of the case, he could
not tell whether the nine witnesses
would be material to Rivers defense
since prosecutors refuse to disclose
the basis of their charge.
He added that if it appears wit
nesses under subpoenae are material
he will entertain a motion for
mistrial if the defendant sees fit to
