STRANGE LIFE OF
 TWO BROTHERS

(Continued from Page D rumpled trousers, a seedy jacket, an .old-fashioned celluloid collar and 8 black bow tie. He had a mustache, wore Q boating cap at least thirty years old, and one of his sleeves was pinned with safety pin.
 Perfectly at eace, Collyer chat ted in a low, polite, cultivated voice.
 Walking toward q bakery to buy some buns for his brother he re- vealed that he was interested in medicine, music. machinery, phy- sics and radio. He said his brother was listening to the radio,". an old crystal set. made 1t. Radio in- , terestS me. have also made several sets that wark on storage batter RS."
 His brother appeared to be his chief concern.
 But his health is improving" he said. "You must remember we are the sons of a doctor. We have medical library of 15,000 books in the house. Homer and I decided we would not call in any doctors. You see, we know too much about medicine. Doctors would remove Homer's optic nerve, and he would be blind forever, and the would treat his rheumatism with drugs and that would shorten Homer's life"
 "No, we decided to do it our OVID way-by diet and rest"
 Not Bothered At All
 He said they weren't bothered by the lack of gas, which was cut of in 1888 and by the lack of a tele- phone. He had put together, the parts of an old automobile motor % ft would generate electricity, hut used kerosene for cooking and light- ing. It was easier.
 Vandals have broken the windows of the house, and he has boarded them up. But Collyer said the per- petual gloom wasn't annoying; he rather liked 1t and his brother did mt need light.
 Lewis asked him whether he WOuAO AkC CO SCS IlAC 11cTA4Q 4E1- bune building. Collyer said he would and spent several hours inside, dis cussing photography, typesetting and printing.
 Having forgotten about the buns, Lewis took him home In a taxi. He apologized for not being able to in- vite Lewis in.
 Forgive me, but I can't inyDte you in," he said. "The house is foo upset. All those thousands of news papers and those pianos :.
 He said he was saving newspapers so his brother could catch up with the news when he recovered his sight. As for the pianos, T used to be in the piano business and sort of ended up by taking quite 8 few into the house."
 Collyer said he was willing to make a settlement with the bank, and the bank said it would gladly reopen negotiations. Another bank revealed that Homer Collyer had had $500 on deposit there since 1897, and his mother, who died years ago, had $400 in a savings account. Unless one of the brothers claims the money, 1t will be advertised next month as unclaimed accounts.

N6O1AtkAAAC4 4AOAAk eNt5C ~ Glober said the six Japanese planes attacked from all directions and made passes at the fortress as close as 150 feet, but hit 1t only three times.
 Got First One
 Lieut.. Harry w. Smith, 28, of Bucksport, Me, the navigator, said he believed he got the first enemy plane.
 "A fighter pulled up beneath as Fe cut loose at the plane" he said. q saw the plane burning, then black smoke, and 1t quiverea yic- 1ently and went spinning downward like q leaf"
 z It vas the crew's first time under fire, but they behaved calmly while Japanese anti-aircraft guns fired elaells that exploded 50 feet from their planes tail.
 we were too busy to notice Aluch," Glober said. "Then another plane doing lazy 8's on our tail came too close. We shot him down. ke cart wheeled all the way down.
 A gunner shot down third plane which came so close he didn't need to use his sights. He "shot 1t all to he'll" Glober said. He saw the plane disintergrate. Finally, an- other gunner shot directly into the nose of Zero. It spun toward the ocean, dropping pieces as it fell.
 The fifth enemy fighter disap- peared and the sixth gave up the chase, in heavy weather.
 Not Much on Wake
 GIober said he didn't think the SApanese "had much" on Wake. He saw only two small Sampan-type boats, Q few new buildings near the old Pan-American Air Lines haed- quarters and one four -motored fly 1ngboat sitting on ramp.
 He attributed much of the suc- Aess of the fortress ability to out Aye the combined Japanese planes, and It's maneuverability, which enabled him to swing away from enemy firing and out-run the Jap aiaese when it was necessary.
 The crew jabbered after the fight Nke children in Kindergarten, he Said, but during the fight the only Nosninent Glober heard was from a kinner: we got that one. He |Dn't bother us again"
 Besides Glober and Smith, the kFsw also included Staff Sgt. E. H. ntCm of New Bedford, Mass, Hla1tcgraphsE.

NO DECISION ON
 SABOTEURS YET
Continued from Page D

MT. Roosevelt late Monday re- ceived the verdict and sentences recommended by the military com- mission which heard the evidence. He has spent much of his time since studying the recommendations and reviewing the record of the 18-day trial.
 The eight Nazis, in groups of four each, landed on the Long Island and Florida coasts in mid-June after crossing the Atlantic in German submarines. They brought with them explosives, incendiary ma terials and money-$176,000 was found buried in the sands-with which to carry out their mission of destruction.
 The saboteurs' capture was an- nounced June 27 and their trial be- fore commission of seven gen. erals appointed by the president got under way July 8. President Roose- welt denied them access to civil courts and the supreme court last week upheld his power to do so.
 The president said at his Tues day press conference that he ex- pectet. to complete his review with lc "two or three days" He also said he would announce the verdict and sentences himself or make them public through White House Secre- tary Stephen T. Early.
 This is the third day since the president made his statement, ano his regular Friday press conference would be convenient occasion for his to announce the results of his review.
 No Information Leak
 Thus far there appeared to have been no leak of information as tt precisely what recommendations tht military commission made. It wa! generally believed, however, tha probably one, or more, of the Nazii would escape death.
 If all were convicted as charged of espionage, sabotage and con. spirac.,, the death penalty would bt mandatory under the articles of wa, unless the president chose to com mute their sentences.
 George John Dasch, 39, leader ot the four landed on Long Island, wa! believed to be the hkeliest candi. date for clemency, inasmuch as he aided the prosecution before an< during the trial.
 In any event, Justice Department observers believed, the names oi those saboteurs who may be sem teLce6 to death-by hanging or be. fore 8 firing squad-will not be an nounced. Speculation was that tho presidents announcement would merely specify the number.
 Nor is 1t likely, 1t was believed that the president will announce the date or place of executions ol divulge the name of any of the accused who may escape the death penalty.

 The fighters then made a second dive on the harbor and raked the deck of a converted yacht which they thought might be floating command post. They saw a num- Der of seamen fall under their con- centrated machinegun fire.
 As the planes swept over for their third dive, most of the enemy manpower seemed to be under cov- CT, so the fighters concentrated their fire on the largest warehouse in sight and then headed home ward.
 Gen. Butler recommended both pilots for decorations, but their names are not available. Gen Bus- Ter, who has been in charge of the Alaskan Air Force all through the summer of attacking Kiska under unfavWable weather conditions, is 46 years old, resident of Marshall, Virginia.

ed need for cartridge-gnaWlng.
 Incidentally, the Army has found tNat a rookie needn't be Adonls to make a fine soldier In the past they've insisted on near per- lection in wind and limb, and there was huffing and puffing among the old richards when the physical rules were relaxed for experimental training of under par rockies.
 The experiment succeeded. They found that one-eyed men, men with fingers missing and other minor defects made cracking good sol diers. Oddly, it was found the physically handicapped had higher intelligence ratings than their physically sound buddies.
 So. this presages wholesale ac- ceptances of men who would have been thought physically unequal to military service two years ago. When they get around to drafting married men and men with chil- dren, it's probable that the slight ly spawned middle-aged crooks will go right in the ranks.
 Here's a partial list of defects that won't keep you out of Army uniform any more: one blind eye, if the other can be corrected to 20-40 vision with glasses; deafness in one ear, if the others hearing is 10-20; no teeth, if no disease of jaw present and dentures per- init food mastication; less than three inches spinal curvature; miss ing great toe, hammer toes or webbed toes; moderate deformities of the upper eXtremities, lower ex- tremities, clavicle, ribs or scapula provided the individual followed a useful vocation in civil life; goiter, hernia, nutritional defects or any other condition repairable by sim pie surgery or treatment.
 Just a reasonably complete as- sortment of arms and legs in fair working order is all the Army asks now. They'll find a use for you.
