B, the Associated Press.

6e Inc Associated Press.
MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 26.-
The belief that Capt. David D. Carr
T-year-old tank officer slain al
Douglass, Ariz., allegedly by his wife
an Army colonel's daughter, had an
other wife in New Hampshire was
expressed today after an examina-
ton of the dead officers picture.
Mrs. Florence Bellerose Carr
now employed as a shoe worker, said
when shown the captains picture
that she was sure he was the man
she married in Lowell, Mass, in
1885. Mrs. Carr said she had not
heard from her husband since he
left Manchester several years ago
A third woman, who also said she
was Capt. Carrs wife, claimed his
bondy.
Records show a David D. Carr
was once private in the lid Field
Artillery, former New Hampshire
National Guard unit, and was en-
ployed at one time as WPA worker
in New Hampshire. They show
further that Carr was transferred
to the inactive list of the New
Hampshire National Guard in 1885
by removal from the State.

it necessary to take title by con-
demnation proceedings to our entire

as hospital. The fact that the
campus and buildings are near Wal
ter Reed Hospital, Army medical
center, makes them desirable and
necessary for the use of the Govern
ment in the war emergency"
The college had had a full enroll
ment for the coming year. including
number of students who trans
ferred from Arlington Hall (Va)
Junior College several months ago
when the Government took over that

announced today.
An estimated $4,000 workers will

$4,000 employees, Mr.. Walling said
He added that the move would not
cause any substantial increase ir

cents since July Is. 1910. The new
order applies to both glove anc
mitten workers.

Steel Plate Output
Doubled in Less Than
Year, WPB Man Says
Subcommittee Questions
Him on Cancellation
Of Higgins Contract
By the Associated Press.

SS tLt ASSOSiAbeu fTeSS.
M. w. Cole, head OF the Plate and
sShape Unit of the Iron and Steel
Branch of the War Production
Board, told House Merchant Ma
rine Subcommittee today produc-
tion OF steel plate had more than
doubled in less than a year.
Plate production has been on a
steadily ascending scale since last
March, he said, but he added little
additional increase was in prospect
before early next year, when new
furnaces and rolling mills come into
production.
The subcommittee, investigating
the circumstances surrounding can
collation. of the Maritime CommiS-
sion contract with the Higgins Ship
building Corp. of New Orleans for
construction of 200 Liberty cargo
ships and facilities, questioned MI
Cole On the steel shortage given
by the commission as the cause OF
the cancellation.
Justification Asked For.
Committee members asked Mr,
Cole how the cancellation could be
justified in the light of the steady
increase in steel plate output since
March, when the contract was let,
through July, when 1t was cancelled.
Although asserting that he knew
of nothing that occurred in the steel
industry to influence the decision,
Mr.. Cole said he would not attempt
to Justify the action without look
ing at the overall picture, including
increased demands from other agen-
cies."
Earlier, in an analysis of steel
plate allocations, Reese Taylor, head
of the iron and steel branch, told
the committee in response to ques-
tions that it definitely had not been
the case" that the Navy got all the
steel it wanted, the Army got most
Of what it wanted, and the Maritime
Commission was delegated to an in
ferior position"
On the contrary he cited monthly
delivery figures since April showing
that the Maritime Commission each
month got practically all of its needs
as established by the requirements
committee, and in some months ex-
ceeded them.
BLACK Market" Data Sought.
Chairman Peterson. Democrat, of
Florida announced that represent
atives of the compliance section of
the WPB would be summoned to
testify on the problem of black
market" operations by steel ware
houses, which he charged were
evading the steel allocations system
and price regulations by selling steel
In any quantities in less than car
load orders.
Witnesses before the committee
denied any first-hand knowledge of
any such operations, although Rep
resentative Peterson and other
members said that the practice
was widespread and accused the
WPB of "whitewashing itself" in its
own investigation.
Mr.. Taylor said his agency had
found a FEW instances of warehouses
receiving more than their quota of
steel, but that did not necessarily
mean an attempt to violate regula-
tions.
only if 1t continues do We con-
clude that it is something more
tina ma mistake" he said.

Suddenly the Chinese gatekeeper
walked in. He said Japanese soldiers
had surrounded the compound and
were coming to get Miss Ward and

The gatekeeper added, she said,
that the Japanese "had very bad

In China 81 Years.
Mrs. Sallee, who had been in mis-
sion work in China for 81 years. said
in that time there had been many
alarms, many emergencies.
II trusted in the Lord, always, and
now I need him more than ever"
she said.
Actually, we were never harmed.
but know that we were saved from
torture through the power of prayer,
alone. You could feel the Chinese
praying for us. It was strong in the
air. We never worried. We knew
we would be protected"
Mrs. Sallee and Miss Ward were
given only a few minutes to pack
some clothing, then were taken into
the city.
In Kaifeng, they were placed in a
small house. There they found 4
Catholic priests, Is American Cath
olic priests. 18 American Catholics,
. Methodist women missionaries.
Mrs. Sallee and Miss Ward were
lodged in tiny rooH~ with the
other two women.
The Japanese came at night and
in the early morning, always at un-
expected times, to take roll call The
internees were called into the gar
den, shivering, often In scanty night
clothing, for inspection. Japanese
soldiers, armed with flashlights
peered into the faces of each one.

From time to time, we heard that
other mission workers in China were
being tortured We never knew
Still. it was impossible to be afraid
Mrs. Sallee said.
Christmas Day came They gave
each other calendars for presents.
That night, they sang Christmas
carols.
The next day, they were all re-
leased, and sent back to their homes.
Until late June, when the interna-
tional exchange began, they stayed
there, prevented from working, but
without interference, otherwise.
Wendell j. Furnas, 27-year -old
writer for the China Weekly Review
at Shanghai whose home is at
Glendale, Calf, said he escaped
from Shanghai prison and hid in
the basement of the home of Chin
ese friends so miles away, but gave
himself up later to save his protec-
tors when the Japanese began a
search for him.
Mr.. Furnas said he was slapped,
bound and gagged and his cheeks
were burned with cigarettes.

Persecution Of Jews

Geneva (JPS)-The people Of

to many measures to indicate
their hostility to Lavals persecu-
ton of the Jews and are resisting.
within the means at their dis
posal, the deportations and ar
rests of both citizen and alien
Jews.
Chambers of commerce, medi-
cal and legal associations and mu-
inequalities are forwarding to
Vichy expressions of protest a.
gainst the brutal violation of the
freedoms with which Frances
name is historically associated.
In Marseilles, Toulose and other
towns, Christians are collecting
underwear, other clothing and
food for Jews, whose access to
them is being swiftly restricted.
1t is known that many French
men are hiding Jewish children to
avert their deportation.
1t was also reported here that
the Bishop of Paris has donned
the yellow Star of David as his
protest against the oppression of
the Jews in France.
Stricter instructions have been
issued to the regular police and
to the special police to prevent
the crossing of the border to
Switzerland.
