of women. who Joined the Russian
army and were intensely trained
under fire, were ready 10 enter the
battle Of Sevastopor today.
After II days Of the widest day
and night attacks that the Ger
man 18th Army could deliver, the
Crimean naval base still stood,
and its garrison and civilian popu-
lation were pledged Ito die 10 the
last SOUL rather than let the Ger
mans take il.
The situation was grave, but
far from hopeless.
ATTACK NEAR PEAK
II was believed that the German
attack had reached its peak, and
that the worst was over. although
the Germans still were hurting 10
divisions of infantry. tanks and
airplaneS against SevaStopoTs de-
lenses.
(The German radio said hand

ress two miles from Sevastopol
Harbor. one Of the finest IN the
Black Sea-
AT no point, however, had Rus
sian defenses been broken. The
Russian Black Sea fleet was re-
ported Smelling German positions
and maintaining the flow of sup
plies to Sevastopol Fierce fight
ing was reported at Balaclava, 10
miles southeast of Sevastopol.
Fedor Menshikov, secretary Of
the Crimean Communist Party,
announced that the garrison and
people OF Sevastopol would die TO
the last man before submitting to
the Germans, and that women
would be fighting in its defense
soon.
ALL-OUT DEFENSE
Menshikov sent resolution,
signed by every person in Sevas-
topol. that said:
Hundreds of thousands of
bombs and shells have served
only to inspire the heroic efforts
of soldiers and civilians alike"
Almost every civilian labored
day and night at war work, Men,
shikov said. Offices and hospitals
were operating in caves or in shell
tiers blasted in the rock. Twenty
five stores maintained an efficient
distribution system. Munitions

surfing a steady flow OF shells.
Last niidnight's communique
said all German attacks yesterday
had been repulsed with heavy
losses. Devoting one line 10 the
Kharkov front, $50 miles north
of Sevastopol, II said that 1000
Germans had been killed in four
days on one sector of that front.

POLICEMEN BLAMED

Judge Pugsley referred TO TIT
police defendants as dishonest anC
corrupt public officials who elected
TO feast upon and financially profit
by these enterprises rather than d.
their duty.
For this reason, Judge Pugsle.
in his statement blamed the police
men for the crimes of the frs
group, saying:
"In the light of the facts the
conclusion IL self-evident: that II
would be much better for these
men (the operators) today had
they been taught during the
early days of their illegal opera
don, by means of proper law en-
forcemont with severe enough
Punishment to be impressive,
that crime does not pay In
private interviews many of these
defendants (again meaning the
ope-ators) have told me II this
had been done they would not be
here today"
HONESTY BEST POLICY
'It IL hoped that this prosecu-
ton and those which have pre-
ceded Il VIII be sufficient to
warn all parties concerned that
there In no place on the police
department for officials who are
'on the take be the same for
m u C h or little, and that the
time-honored and old-fashioned
virtue of plain honesty still re-
mains the first requirement for
any public official"

Four handbook operators who

with operating a ring TO protec

more than a year ago by Judge
Homer Ferguson's one-man grand
jury.
Sixty-eight defendants originally
were on trial. TNwenty-six were

New s Use Tax Required By Motorists after June 30 In Order To Buy Gas

TACOMA, Wash. (Special) - Every motorist who plans to drive his car after June 30 faces probable necessity of buying a new $5 Federal automobile use tax stamp by that date or else create his own private gas short age. From information released by Clark Squire, Collector of In- ternal Revenue, it appears that Uncle Sam has found a way to make every car owner, without a single exception, buy 3 stamp.
 Any motorist who doesn't want to purchase a stamp may as well jack up his car for the duration because he ont get any gas. The Office of Price Administration has advised Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue Guy T. Helver- ing that possession of a stamp bill will be necessary to procure gasoline after the proposed ra- tioning has gone into effect
 The new stamp was placed on sale June 10 at all post offices and the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue in the dis trict of Washington and Alaska. It is serially numbered and should be placed on the wind shield of the car alongside the state vehicle inspection sticker. To keep the stamp affixed to the windshield, it is suggested that the vehicle owner dampen the windshield rather than the ad- hesiVe side of the stamp.
 As a precaution against loss or theft, it is suggested the motor iSt make record of the serial number on his stamp in order that there may be some means of identification to enable him to purchase gasoline.
 Only cash will purchase stamps at the post office while Collectors will accept cash, Post Office Money Orders, or certified checks.

Emily BOurdon Drowns Despite Rescue Efforts

Despite all efforts to save the life of Emily Bour don last evening she did not revive after drowning.
 The young 13-year-old girl, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred Bourbon of Nome, was walking on the oil dock when a board went out from under her and she fell through to the water. Her cries for help were heard by Milton O'Farrell and Robert Scott who went to her aid. Though the former young man dived into the water and managed to get hold of her, the waves pounded to- ward the shore with such force and the undertoW was so great that his grasp was broken. Two by-stand CTS were able however, to wade out into the surf and get her ashore.
 While word was sent to the Fire Dept. to bring the H & H Inhalator, artific- ial respiration was applied. The pulmotor arrived in good time and every effort was made to revive the girl who was later remov- ed to the hospital where further attempts were. made but to no avail.

Bayonet Master Teaches Marines
the Modern Methods of Warfare

Fencing and bayonet fighting
are kindred arts, according to Col
Anthony J. d. Biddle, who has
introduced some tricks of swords
manship into the modern system
of bayonet instruction he is Civ
ing the u. S. Marines.
An expert in the art of jiu-jitsu
as we'll as swOrdsmanship and
boxing, Colonel Biddle has devot-
ed a large part of his life TO the
achievement of perfection as a
bayonet fighter Marines have re-
ceived the benefits of his instruc-
ton from time to time since the
first World War.
Abandoning the so-called ortho-
dox method of bayOnet fighting,
the colonel teaches his Marine pu-
pills certain jiu-jitsu tricks which
are valuable in disarming or gain
ing the mastery over an opponent

tary manual Of the advanced sci
ence of individual combat.
Colonel Biddle is a member of
the renowned Philadelphia family
which has rendered distinguished
service to the nation for more than
two centuries.
AS a youngster going to school
in Spain, the senior Biddle learned
a number of knife tricks. Later he
learned fencing in the Madeira
Islands, and afterwards took up
boxing and jiu-jitsu He was once
a famous amateur boxer and spar
red with such fighters as Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien, the great Bob
FitZSimmOns and others.
Coordinates Methods
Realizing that there was a def
mite similarity between all methods
of hand-to-hand combat, whether
il was a mere boxing bout or a
life and death struggle between
two individuals on the battlefield,
he began to coordinate methods of
attack and defense
He proved his theories in the

served overseas.
His group Of Marine bayonet
fighters was one OF the attractions
Of the SesQui-Centennial Exposi-
ton at Philadelphia in 1926. At
other times he has taught individ-
ual combat methods to young Ma
zine Corps officers or to men pre-
pairing for service with the F.BI.
Advocates War Training

"This combat demonstration

Today the colonel is in his late

BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The stock
market had little stamina or purpose
today and prices as rule slipped
shade lower.
Uninspiring action of motors,
steels and other leaders of the Tues
day upturn supplied the cue for the
balance of the list although here
and there the heaviness was relieved
by bright individual performances.
Fractional declines were widely dis
tributed at the close.
Dealings continued small, totaling
around 350,000 shares.
Some of the war reports seemed
a bit more encouraging, but poten-
tial buyers still were concerned over
Burma and Java, additional tanker
attacks in the Atlantic and expected
hiking of corporation levies in the
new tax bill. Excitement in the Los
Angeles area over the appearance
of what some believed to be an
enemy aircraft also had a chilling
effect on speculative sentiment.
Douglas Aircraft was one-stock
show, pushing up 81 points or so
in response to the company's report
for the fiscal year ended November
80, which showed profit equal to
S302 a share, against S1805 a share
in the previous year.
Commodities gave ground on SELL
ing, attributed to President Roose-
velt's pronouncement against the
farm bloc's move to prevent sales
of Government-held staples at less
than parity prices.
Bond List Declines.
Resistance to higher prices de-
veloped in today's bond market and
the main list fell back into a narrow
and irregularly low position. A few
scattered rails exhibited independ-
ent strength.
Heavy demand developed for sew
eral Seaboard Air Line loans which
brought fractional gains. Others
holding slightly above water at one
time or another included Third
Avenue adjustment 5s, International
Hydro Electric IS and Portland Cen
eral Electric 41as
Inclined to lag behind most OF
