T. Mckee, wealthy shipping and
airltnes executive, is accused by his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Otis G.. West "a.

bedroom at Washington, D. c..

job and registered her as his daugh-
ter.
He grabbed hold Of me-" she
testified at the divorce hearing of
her sister, Mrs Evelyn Mckee, and
said: You're my slave. You're so
much like your sister that I want
YOU"
She said she screamed and he
went back to his room. apologizing
the next morning that it was some
kind of a disease with him. He hired
her as his secretary at $3.50 a month,
she added.
Mrs. West, who lives in New Or
leans, testified Mckee made a sec
ond unsuccessful attempt to attack
her when she was visiting later at
the McKees home in Azusa, Calf.
Mckee, contesting the divorce
suit, testified that after he and Mrs.
Mckee had separated in 1941, they
met Max de la Fuente, former Pc
ruvian consul here, in a Pasadena
hotel cocktail room and she insisted
on remaining with the young diplo-
mat.
Mrs. Mckee didn't come home

United States naval forces which
smashed the Japanese fleet in the
Solomons were led by one OF the
toughest men we have af1oat.
Vice Admiral William Frederick
Halsey, jr., commander of United
States naval forces in the Southern
Pacific, symbolizes Americas answer
to the boast of Admiral Isoroku
Yamamoto that he would dictate
peace in the White House.
Admiral Yamamoto now has other
things than peace to think about.
One of them is how to stop Fudge"
Halsey.
The naval record shows that Ad-
miral Halsey had Tokio's number
even before the war began. On
November %. 10 days before Pearl
Harbor, a carrier task force set out
for Wake Island to deliver planes
under absolute war conditions Toxic
was making fancy passes at Thai
land.
Admiral Halsey wasn't fooled. His
orders to the carrier force were to
blow any Jap ship out of the water
and shoot any planes out Of the
sky.
Learned to Fly at 81.
Admiral Halsey is. among other
things. one of our most air-minded
admirals. He learned to fly at 81.
He knows he still can learn and
that the more you learn the better
you fight. vs.
He is furthermore our most ex-
perienced carrier task-f force COM
mander and, to Tokio's misfortune,
most of this experience has been
in the Pacific: in the raids in the
Marshall and Gilbert Islands, in the
vengeance blow at Wake and Mar
Gus Island.
Admiral Halsey took over in the
Solomons area on October II, just
when it looked as though huge
Japanese fleet might cut off our
marines there. Purge" Halsey went
in smuggling with a carrier task
force and in the battle of October
Is made the Nipponese armada turn
tail for cover a thousand miles to
the north.
Two Japanese carriers, a battle
ship and five cruisers were seri-
ously damaged, perhaps sunk. and
100 planes downed with another SO
probably destroyed. ..,
This was just prelude to the
smashing victory the United States
forces under Admiral Halsey scored
over vast japanese armada in the
Solomons battle just ended in which
the Japs lost % ships including one
battleship and five cruisers. In ad-
dition five destroyers and eight
transports were sunk, and four other
transports destroyed after being
beached.
Unorthodox Fighter.
Admiral HalSey Is an unorthodox
fighter and makes his rules as he
goes along Naval Academy class
mates say he always did his own
thinking on strategy and followed
the course that was most logical
under the circumstances. rules or no
rules.

Back Home, Unaware
OF Fuss She Caused
Reveals She Registered

BEVERLY HILLS. Calf. Nov.
17.-Barbara Bennett, whose desire
for a little rest caused Southern
California police officers to lose a
lot of it, Is safe at home and says
she can't understand what all the

While the widespread search for
her was on, Miss Bennett said she
was in seclusion in a rest home and
knew nothing Of the alarm her alb

missing Saturday morning by her
husband, Addison Randall, screen
cowboy. .
Miss BENEFIT, former wife of singer
Morton Downey, left her apartment
Friday evening, presumably to keep
a dinner engagement at the home
Of James Doane, actors agent, and
Mrs. Doane
But I changed my mind" Miss
Bennett explained, and didn't 60
there. Instead, I went to another
friends home and telephoned the
Doanes that I wouldn't be at the
dinner. -&

went to rest home where I reg

The first T knew of the excite
ment was Monday morning. she
continued. when I bought a news
paper and read that 1 had been re-
ported missing. I telephoned Mr..
Randall at once that I was safe.

When Mr.. Randall filed his missing
persons report at police headquarters
Saturday, he said she was some

their apartment Friday night.

is going to San Francisco to take a
theater engagement.
Miss Bennett is staying here"
Mr.. Randall said. There is no
formal separation, although it
might come to that"

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 17.-William
Witherow, president of the National

last night that new order" move

battle with our carriers.
Most important: Whatever We
do. we do fast"
Admiral Halsey's tactic of putting
his carriers well ahead in the battle
gives his task forces terrific strik-
ing power.
In the raid on the Marshal and
Gilbert Islands this brilliant and
audacious attack" hit the jackpot
for Is enemy ships and Admiral
Halsey lost only two planes.

Fudge Halsey has been fighting
it out.
When a boy in Elizabeth, N. j.,
where he was born. laid his scalp
open with a baseball bat, Fudge"

Never mind he said, I'll take
care of that guy myself"
'Pudge" entered Annapolis at Is
and had graduated by 1904. He
commanded destroyers from 1911
through the World War, got the
Navy Cross for distinguished service
on convoy duty and then went to
Berlin, Copenhagen and Stockholm
as naval attache.
Became Vice Admiral in June.
There followed years of routine
service with battleships, DESTROYER
squadrons and at Annapolis. He
picked up new courses at the Navy
War College-and at the Army War
College.
But by 1884 he saw war in the air
coming and went to Pensacola to
learn to f1y-at 50 years of age. In
1885 he commanded the carrier
Saratoga and in June, 1898, after a
year as commandant of the Pensa-
cola Naval Air Station, became COM
mander Of an aircraft carrier divi-
sion.
He was made vice admiral last
June.
Admiral Halsey likes a party
ashore and has serse of humor.
That tough old billygoat," as
former subordinate calls him, doesn't
mind admitting he's afraid, either,
A recent Pacific engagement, he
said, scared 20 pounds off him.
He says frankly "the hardest fight
Is ahead. Daily shifts at home from
optimism to pessimism dc not reflect
the true course of the war. We who
are doing the fighting appreciate
that the complexion of this vast
Pacific war cannot change over
night"
That's Vice Admiral Halsey-
tough, realistic, daring. And, &C.
cording to his contemporaries, Just
little more so than most.
His 83-year-old mother says he
gets very angry that the Navy won't
let him take the risk Of flying now.

Our Main Job Is to Win
Military Campaign,
Secretary Points Out

Secretary Of State Hull empha-
sized today that military concerns
are dominant in North Africa for
the time being. He turned aside
questions about political complex
ties developing there.
In the background Of the Secre-
tary's press conference discussion
was dissatisfaction expressed by
Gen. Charles de Gaulle's Fighting
French headquarters about Ameri-
can dealings with Admiral Jean
Darlan in North Africa.
Mr.. Hull said so far as he was adj
vised the current situation in North
Africa is nothing but military, with
Army authorities in complete con-
troll.
He pointed out that the military
campaign still is under way and in
dicated that settlement of political
problems must await its conclusion.
Mr.. Hull described the American
defeat of japanese feet in the Sol
ONION Islands area as a magnificent
success, rejecting great credit on
the American forces participating.
He said the fight they waged was
not surprising but naturally was
most gratifying to this country as
well as to all the United Nations.
