POLICE RECOVER
 AUTO INQUARREL
Were Seeking Evidence in Staying of Boston WOnl.
 am Near Quincy

Quincy, Mass, May 2. = (UP) - Pumping water from Carson's Quarry in quest of further evidence in the skipping of Boston woman, police today uncovered an automo- bile which may have figured in the case.
 The automibile was revealed after nearly 35 feet of water had been drained from the quarry hole in and effort to recover the missing clothing of Mrs. Helen D. Cullen, 45, estranged wife of an insurance broker. Her nude and battered body was found on ledge of the quarry April IA by John J. Grasselli. 2l-year-old Quincy shipyard worker, who later was seized on a murder charge.
 What puzzled police was that Gaselli does not onw an automobile. They believed that if he and Mrs. Cullen had ridden to the quarry in somebody else'S car, and the car was dumped into the quarry hole, it would have been reported miss ing.
 Believed to be less than five years old, the automobile lay on its left side, its Still-bright nickel hub caps indicating, police said, that it had not been in the water many weeks.
 Police continued pumping water from the quarry to bring to light the registration plates.

volunteers helping USO give service to the nations fighting men all over the country.
 This job of sewing on buttons and those treasured new chevrons, darn ing socks and mending uniforms torn in the job of learning to be 8 soldier is only one of the endless variety of special services offered service men at USO clubhouses, ac- cording to Mrs. Maurice T. Moore, vice chairman of the 1942 USO War Fund campaign to be held May H. July 4.
 Clubs POlIed for Needs
 Mrs. Moore, also chairman of USO's National Women,s Commit tee, has just received reports made on @ tour of many of the USQ oper- ations, which now number 671 club houses and smaller units in A states and in hemisphere bases, and has learned that there is practically no limit to the soldiers needs.
 A soldier at Mitchell Field, L. l., was going to be married. His bride to-be was arriving alone from Chi- cago. She didn't know anybody in the region and naturally the soldier wasn't able to spend much time with her. The local USO took her under its wing, arranging for a wedding reception and a wedding supper. USO even formed a, motor cade to take the party to church and back.
 Housing for Visitors
 When the Fort Dix reservation was enlarged, the housing situation became acute for guests visiting men in camp. The local community of Wrightstown, N. J., has a per- manent population of less than 200 while the reservation contains thousands of men. Under USO aus pices a housing survey of the whole county was made. The USO club at Wrightstown now has an index carefully kept up to date, of all quarters in the county available to white and colorad visitors.
 The six agencies combining in USO to provide for the fighting mans leisure time are the Young Mems Christian Associations, the National Catholic Community Serv- ice, the Salvation Army, the Young Women's Christian Associations, the Jewish Welfare Board and the Ma tional Travellers Aid association.
