Magician Fails Again
To Call Darrow's Spirit
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 14.-The spirit
Of Clarence Darrow was called In
Jackson Park yesterday, but 1t did
not come.
In accordance with a pact made
in 1887, Claude Noble, Detroit ma
gician, made his fourth unsuccess-
full attempt to communicate with the
ghost of the departed lawyer.
He bent on one knee, recited
the Lords Prayer, and called out,
Clarence Darrow, am here in
fulfllment Of the pact that we made
with each other. If you can mani
fest yourself to me. do it now"
There was a moment or two Of
silence. Anything stirring?" a re-
ported asked. Mr.. Noble shook his
head. mo. but I'm going to keep
trying as long as I live. I believe
that some day God will unlock
the secret Of the beyond. 1t won't
be in my time, I know, but I'm
going to keep trying"
Darrow was not a believer in
spirituaism, Mr.. Noble said, but he
agreed to try to manifest his spirit
after death If given an opportunity.
Mr.. Noble conducted his first ex-
pertinent in Detroit March 13, 1899,
the first anniversary Of Darrow's
death.

Wide World News

! LONDON, March ID. - If many
w. A. A. F.'s had their way. they'd
enter Immediately into full COM
radely partnership with the R. A. F.
/ These members of the Women's
/ Auxiliary Air Force would like to be
| on some of those potent sweeps as
full-f1edged fighting flyers over en-
emy coasts, without sex distinction
of any kind
But isn't that going bit far?"
asks man willing to acknowledge
all that women have done in war
time, but baking at the mention of
their doing actual combat duty.
How would you like to pick up
communique some morning and
read-'From all these operations
eight blonds returned safely?'"
Women elsewhere have done jobs
just as dangerous the w A. A. F.'s
retort.
Apparently there is little likeli-
/ hood that British women will be
sent into an air fight. Only a few
w. A. A. F.s ever get into the air
at all
Clamor to Do Flying.
AS officers they are permitted to
fly as passengers while on duty, but
they do no plotting themselves.
Woman mechanics overhaul dam
aged planes but are not allowed to
60 up on test flights. Now they're
clamoring to do so.
Their composite demand runs
something like this:
I'VE take a litter of seemingly
unrelated parts strewn about a
hangar and put them all together
in what's practically new plane
assembled by the w. A. A. F.s-
then a man mechanic does the test
flying
Even man has to admit the
plane flies like a dream. We ought
to have a go at it,
Girl mechanics dare not be care
less. Many planes they service are
used by pilots for the last phases
of fighter training. Lives depend
on their skill. Yet uncounted num-
bers of them until recently were
doing houseWork or were employed
in clothing factories and shops.
Although the Air Ministry may
never yield to the girls demands
for representation even in the hard
est and most hazardous assignments,
the whole nation is proud of the
w. A. A. Fs already impressive
record in the days and nights of
blitz-and the difficult days and
nights of oppressive tedium.
Concerned With Combat Duty.
The w. A. A. F. S. of the signals
branches are intimately concerned
with combat duty. They give air
men bearings, and many of them
work in radio location. saving the
strength and fuel of the R. A. F.
by helping detect aircraft beyond
the shores of the British Isles
They contribute toward accurate
bombing by the r. A. F., working as
bomb plotters at air gunnery and
bombing schools, where the R. A. F..
learns bombing mastery.
With geometrical instruments
w. A. A. F. bomb plotter gives a
reading and passes it on to air
crews, telling them the precise
proximity of the bombs to target.
She follows their progress until
they achieve accuracy and are post
ed to stations whence they go forth
to attack.
Women are engaged as meteorolo-
gists at r. A. F. stations, dealing
with a side of performance essen

New Trial Arguments
For Ewing Scheduled
For Next Friday
Counsel Says Boy Friend
Of Complainant Testified
Falsely About School

Arguments for a new trial, on the
ground of newly-discovered evi-
dence, are scheduled for next Friday
before Justice James w. Morris in
District Court in the Gaze of Orman
w. Ewing, former Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Utah,
convicted recently by a jury on
charge of criminally assaulting a
O-year -old Government worker.
Homer L. Mccormick, one Of
Ewing's counsel at the trial, yester-
day officially withdrew from the
case, with the permission of Justice
Morris. Mr.. Mccormick advised the
court he had given thought to the
step and was convinced 1t was best.
Attorney James j. Laughlin, who
was not of counsel at the trial, is
said to have been retained by
Ewing's family following the re-
turning of the guilty verdict. An
other counsel in the case is tenn
porarily in Florida.
The defense yesterday introduced
records of the Board Of Education
designed to show that Robert Payne,
one Of the Governments principal
witnesses and boy friend of the
complainant in the criminal assault
case, had testified falsely. The de.
fense says that Mr.. Payne, an en-
ploye of the Reconstruction Finance
Corp, withdrew from school here
in December, instead of this month,
as he said, and produced records to
prove the point.
The defense. through afhdavits
from two men, claims that Mr..
Payne attempted to interest the
pair in framing" Ewing by getting
the complaining witness in a COM
promising situation with the de-
fendant.

Priest Says laps Will Seize
VIddivostok, Kamchatka
By the associated Press.

By the associated Press.
OMAHA. March 14-The Rev.
Bernard j. Hubbard, the Glacier
Priest, predicted last night Vlad-
lvostok and Kamchatka would be in
japanese hands within a month.
The japanese must take them "in
order not to leave their northern
flank exposed" Father Hubbard said
in an interview, but added that he
had no fear they would take Alaska.
Il said before Pearl Harbor that
Alaska could not be successfully in
vaded, and still say it in spite of
native Alaskans' disagreement with
me. They believe Alaska Is just like
Norway. This analogy is like calling
mouse and an elephant alike be-
cause each has four legs"
He predicted good news from the
Pacific by the end of May" when, he
said, United Nations forces could
attack japanese lifelines.
Father Hubbard, on lecture tour,
left Omaha last night for Chicago.

Second Largest Day
In Sa|vaged Paper
Brings 37,473 Lbs.
Grand TotuI for Schools
In Campaign Climbs
Above SIG Tons

Continuing the series of record
breaking collections. children in
the schools visited yesterday in
The Evening Star-P.-T. A. Salvage
for Victory program turned in 81
473 pounds of paper, cardboard and
magazines for the second largest
single days total This brings the
grand total to date to 1,152,372
pounds.
Yesterdays collection was 1871
pounds more than for the same day
of February, or truck load more,
which explains in part the difficult
ties Of visiting all schools during
actual school hours.
The first four days of this week
have yielded 139,1o7 pounds, a fig
ure which was not reached until
all December collections and the
first IL of January had been re-
corded. 1t required collections from
NSSIilOOl ulIG1I 20 W az
cumulate as much paper as has
been received so far in March,
total of 294,363 pounds.
II the present pace is maintained
and there is great probability that
it will be increased, the aggregate
by the end of this month should be
close to 1.750.000 pounds.
Pacing yesterday was the first COL
lection at Frances Junior High
School which until this week had
not been in the program. Frances
turned in 6,044 pounds which augurs
we'll for great totals from that
school.
Montgomery, which has been av-
eraging around 600 or 700 pounds a
week, turned in surprising total of
5,212 pounds.
Phillips -Wormley made a new
high for that school with 1886.
Tomorrow there will be a new
listing OF schedules and all schools
should examine the lists to note
whether the collection day remains
the same or is changed in the new
groupings intended to speed up
collections and eliminate the week
end congestions that have ham
pered the work in the past.

British Woman Flyers Seeking
To Become Combat Pilots
Point Out They Repair Planes and Do
Many Other Duties of Men in Service

tial to successful r. A. F. operations
Training of flight mechanics is q
comparatively new venture. The
course is long and arduous. 1t Is
part of the policy of trying out
women in highly skilled trades. So
far it has worked.
Girl flight mechanics are not YET
working at operational fields, but
authorities say they might do sc
later.
Have No Easy Tine.
Tfey have no easy time Of it on
their present jobs Much of the
servicing of aircraft at airdromes
must be done in the raw, wintry
open or in hangers almost equally
as cold. Frequently one finds a
site entirely manned" by women.
Another department of w. A. A
F. activities where the members
prove their extraordinary worth is
that of balloon operation. Though
the job demands excellent bodily fit
ness. the greatest strain is on the
nerves and mind.
The girls live in huts or other
billets day in and day out, starkly
up against the blight of boredom.
To ease the situation families in
the neighborhood have adopted
some balloon sites and help the
girls by providing diversions.
Commenting especially on the
work Of balloon crews, w. A. A. F.
Squadron Officer Felicity Hanbury
said:
1T is much easier to be brave
than to be bored.
Here are women on balloon sites
with no real action to challenge
them, mostly forced back upon their
own resourcefulness. Their work is
important and responsible, but
boredom is there just the same.
No Complaints Received.
"Yet we've never heard one COM
plaint-in the branch where we'd
be most likely to hear complaints.
We've learned that women have
a greater gift than men for occu-
pying their time, for competing with
boredom.
They take full advantage Of edu-
cational and cultural facilities
They preserve their femininity and
good spirits in countless interesting
and subtle ways.
Maybe it's an especial coy touch
to quarters or the cultivation of a
little garden in the summer"
1t once was popularly thought
that tasks on balloon sites were SO
strenuous that only Amazonian types
could be employed. But the fall
lacy was exploded.
1t is not permitted to disclose
numbers, but Officer Hanbury says
that from August, 1941. to the first OF
this year the w. A. A. Fs doubled
their numerical strength, which is
many thousands.
The scope of the w. A. A. F.s'
work reads in termination like a
catalogue of what men hitherto
considered prerogatives in mechani-
cal trades.
The girls test spark plugs and
install, inspect and maintain arma-
ment and gunnery equipment. They
are responsible for much Of the
R. A. F's electrical equipment. They
are instrument mechanics and pho
tographers. They repair pack para
chutes and do all sorts OF handy
jobs around the workshops.
Morale Excellent.
Morale is excellent. Officer Han
bury says:
"The girls have readily given up
normal, protected home lives to
