RECALL OF JURY
 HERE CIRCULATED
Acorn Indicates COnspir- acy Investigation May
 Still Continue

Wide speculation was noted among WaterburianS today regarding the possible recall of the conspiracy trial grand jury for further investi- gation of city affairs. The indica- ton of Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, Sr., in superior court yesterday that the conspiracy investigation may still continue has led local ob- servers to wonder what the next move may be
 Mir Acorn yesterday stated that Enoch Borgnaes, who yesterday re- ceived a sentence of one year in county jail for his part in the con- spiracy, had promised to disclose all information he had regarding the men tried in court "or any others that may be presented It is believed BorgnaeS may have dt- vulged information which will im- plicate other persons not indicted by tte grand jury.
 ThN part that several prominent Waterburians mentioned by MT. Al corn yesterday may play in the in vestigation was a leading topic Of discussion. The special prosecutor in the case spoke of meetings be- twesn Borgnaes, several of the other accused men, and others from Wa termury just before he sailed for Denmark and out of the jurisdiction of the courts here.
 Those mentioned in that connec- lion included Atty. Herman Weis- man and Superintendent of Police William J. Roach. The meetings were said to have taken place while state police were conducting a wide search for the auditor, who was wanted for examination by the grand jury.
 Under the statute of limitations regarding criminal proceedings a person may be tried for a crime within five years after it is com- mitted.
 N the grand jury Investigation should be resumed, however, several places vacated by death would have to be filled legal complications may result regarding a recall, observers feel.

German Armistice
 Commission Surprised
Five of Six Members in Morocco Caught in Bed By
 Suddenness of U. s. Attack

;, French opened fire from shore kat- teries. American destroyers put that light out in two minutes. linen there was hell of a fight The final battery at Fedala was taken by infantry and tanks from one column. The first man in was captain Brown. It was a nice fight.
 "A division moved to occupied points on the days we had planned in Washington. We attacked in the early morning of Nov. II. Then got information that the French north of Fedala had quit, but they had done no such thing at Casablanca. We sent a French ofhcer to Casa blanca to find out whether we were to stop or not to stop. The Lord was on our side because the general wanted to attack, and if the attack had been made earlier it couldn't have been stopped. We had 20 min- utes in which to stop 1t. Finally we got message to cease fire"
 Patton emphasized the work of American stretcher bearers. They did not lie down during the entire two days that the beach at Fedala was under fire.
 Fight at Lyautey. 70 miles north east of Casablanca was very seri- ous," he said. Beach conditions were bad. The landing was delayed and many boats were lost in the high waves.
 During Nov. 8 and g, we fought against superior forces and couldn't t take one fort" he said. Finally we moved in l05 nm. gun within 100 yards and blew holes through which the infantry moved. It was good CO., ordination between infantry and ar tillery."

that reckless play OF political

Editors and censors alike must
be concerned over maintenance OF

tors ought not to let themselves be
led TO suppressing news for the sake
OF protecting military or political
regulations from public blame for
failure.
Must Expect Criticism.
That doesn't mean that news
papers should, or that they will, en-
gage in partisan sniping, even with
congressional elections coming up In
q few months. Many difficult deci-
sions will have to be made between
now and November-andan no matter
how they are made, newspapers can
expect criticism from offended poll
ticisns and offended seements of our

1T is going to require the highest
degree OF editorial integrity and edi-
torial skill TO bring newspapers

without damage. Reckless play OF
