He said it was never more than
one third of the way above the

of Miss Satterlee at the portfolio.
FIRST REBUTTAL
The astronomer was the first OF
the rebuttal witnesses called by the
district attorney to attack the story
OF Flynn, who insisted for two days
of rapid-fire testimony that he had
not subjected Miss Satterlee, or his
other accuSer, l7-year-old Betty
Hansen, to statutory rape.
Before the dignified astronomer
went on, Defense Attorney Jerry
GieSler called one witness, Mrs.
Elizabeth Cathcart-Jon of New
York for two questions. She said
she had married owen Cathcart-
Jones in 1886 and still was married
to him.
Cathcart Jones, who had admitted
paying the rent of the apartment
occupied by Miss Satterlee and her
sister, Mickey June, had testified
he was divorced.

traitor Edward r. Stettinius,
jr., told the house foreign
affairs committee today that
the lendlease principle-'thep prin-
ciple OF total cooperation among
nations in the waging of war"-is
the only one on which a war OF
alliance can be waged successfully
The record, in my opinion, dem
onstrates beyond any doubt the
necessity for extending the lend
lease act for an additional year, >,
he told the committee at the open
ing of hearings on extension of the
act.
IF there is any question to be
debated in connection with lend
lease act it is, to my mind, the ques-
ton of why we have not sent more
to cur allies, not whether we should
continue to send supplies to them, .
StettiniuS said.
StettiniuS outlined our aid to
foreign countries as follows:
