him:
II strangled Patricia with my
hands after leading her into the

about ten minutes, then carried
her upstairs to the kitchen be-
lieving that she was dead. Her
hands moved, I strangled her
again for five minutes"

led from the house upon her ar

FURTHER DECISIONS
The advisory war council was
summoned to another meeting
TODAY at which il was expect
ed to make further important
decisions regarding northern
defenses.
Indicating the gravity with
which he viewed the situation,
Prime Minister John Curtin,
who had just returned from
Perth, cancelled planes to go
to Canberra for a session of
state premiers so that the
might attend the advisory coun-
Gil meeting.
Curtin announced that ar
rangements had been made to
step up Australia's warplane
production Immediately. He
said a program had been decid-
ed upon to increase production
of Beaufort bombers and of a
new type of bomber of Austria

The latter, he said, will be
constructed of parts manufac-
tured almost exclusively In
Australia under q plan involv-
ing an initial expenditure of
more than 100000.

Curtin said plans had been
approved for procurement of
other planes, including fighters,
and for expansion of the Aus
tralian air forces repair and
service facilities.
The prime minister declared
that successful prosecution of
the war demanded works, not

The French, weary of the daily

much attention. But those who did
discovered two things:
About 300 tanks bearing the
swastika were actually French; the
soldiers were mere boys proof
