issued declaration today that "the
unity of our country is being sealed
by the common struggle against the
hated conqueror.'
This was taken in Cairo to mean
that Mlhallovich is willing to sus-

with the Partisans of Josip CTito)
Broz:
The statement, released by the
Yugoslav government here. declared
that Il can assure the entire world
that the Yugoslay army in. our
country will play a distinguished
part in the Balkans. and she will
prove once more her high military
valor in the struggle for the King
liberty and democratic Yugoslavia.
Il deny all unfounded assertions
concerning the Yugoslav army no

All attacks against the honor and
unity of the Yugoslav army are
nothing but foul desire on the part
OF our enemies to prevent the crea-
ton of a truly democratic Yugo-
slavia and harmony between the diff
ferent communities of Yugoslavia.

Here Is Senator Russell's account
of the incident:
The ship on which the Presi-
dents son was serving was attacked
and heavily DANA ged by the enemy.
Her decks were within a foot or so
of being awash. Other craft came
to her assistance and she staggered
into port.
A ship filled with explosives,
berthed nearby, blew up as a result
Of enemy action. Jagged pieces of
metal screamed past the craft bear

cut off the leg of sailor standing
near the Presidents son. Young
Roosevelt helped him below deck.

treatment
The surgeon, after completing his
work on the sailor, noticed that the
young officers hand bore a Jagged
cut near the base of the thumb
He insisted on sewing it up and
told 1t. Roosevelt you can wear the
Purple Heart for this"
Senator Russell said 1t. Roose-
welt scoffed at the observation and
said he'd have to suffer a worse
wound than that to deserve the
medal.

remains to be done, and how best
! to do it.
Job Started in 1870.
Washington has been trying to get
rid of areas of bad housing since
| 1870, Senator Capper said, adding
1t has tried to shame the slum
owners into tearing down the hid
eous shacks which provide their in
come; but that is easier said thar
done. In 1892, when the city first
realized the dangers of having hid
den slum communities on the in
teriors of squares, Congress passed
law forbidding any further con-
struction of houses in alleys. This
stopped the further spread of alley
communities, but it did not remove
a single alley house, and by that
time there were thousands of them
In succeeding years. when public
minded citizens brought their solu-
tions of the housing problem to
Congress, there came other laws
which allowed the District Govern
ment to condemn and demolish un-
safe and insanitary houses, but
after almost 40 years. it is painfully
evident that these regulatory proc
eSSes have fallen far short of their
goal
Another attempt to get rid OF
the alley slums was made in a law
which authorized the Commission
ers to open inhabited alleys into
minor streets. We have seen the
results of this experiment, which
proved to be wholly unsatisfactory
One reason why these various
measures failed was because. al
though they permitted the destruc-
ton of unfit houses under certain
conditions. they did not make any
provision for additional houses: so,
IN times when vacant houses were
scarce, the slum owners would raise
the cry that their poor tenants were
to be made homeless, so most of the
laws remained imperative
At the turn of the century limited
dividend housing companies tackled
the problem. Senator Capper said,
but they did not have the power
OF eminent domain to go into slum
a. cas-.
Creation of the Alley Dwelling
Authority-now the National Cap
ital Housing Authority-in 1884 pro-
vided the first agency which could
buy up dilapidated property in
squares containing alley houses, and
reclaim it. Senator Capper said the
records of the authority show its
program is sound and intensely
practical" With the limited funds
at its disposal, he said, it cleared
out IA alley slums, built new houses
on and around street frontages, and
erected garages and other structures
where houses were not appropriate.

/ RICHMOND, Oct. 20.-Richmond
Army Air Base physicians and DR..
B. H. Bailey, acting coroner for the
Henrico County police, announced
today that they had failed to find
proof-through an autopsy-that
WAC 1t Mildred S. Arlington.
found slain with a butcher knife in
her home Monday, was an expectant
mother.
Wendell P Arlington, husband of
the 23-year-old officer, who is
charged with her murder. had told
police he strangled his wife and
slashed her throat after she told
him she was to have a child by
another man.
! Arlington. under guard at the
Medical College Hospital, was served
with a warrant charging him with
the murder late yesterday. He is
rallying from what officers described
as an attempt to take his own life
by slaShng his own wrists and
throat.
DR.. Bailey said today that an
autopsy had revealed that 1t Ar
rington. who had been estranged
from her 29-year-old husband for
some time, was not an expectant
mother.
1t. Arlington. who had good
record at the Richmond Air Base
to which she was attached. lived at
Sandston. where her body was found
Monday by county police, who took
Arlington in custody. Her body was
sent last night to Coral Gables

and Mrs. w. C. Spain. 1t was ac-

in a theater of opera tions will be
vested in the superior commander
charged with the actual conduct OF
operations in the theater, who will
exercise command of air forces
through the air force commander
and command Of ground forces

mander."
An outstanding example of the
principle Of single command is
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower posi-
ton as supreme commander in the
Mediterranean area through which
he has been able to use land, sea
and air power in combined opera
tlons with tremendous effect.
Discussing the doctrine of en-
ployment of air power, the new regu-
lation says:
The gaining of air superiority is
the first requirement for the success
of any major land operations. Air
forces may be properly and
profltably employed against enemy
sea power, land power and air power
However, land forces operating with
out air superiority must take such
extensive security measures against
hostile air attack that their mobility
End ability to defeat the enemy land
forces are greatly reduced. There
fore. air forces must be employed
primarily against the enemys all
forces until air superiority is OBJ
| tanned. In this way only can de-
structive and demoralizing air at.
tacks against land forces be min
lmized and the inherent mobility
OF modern land and air forces be
exploited to the fullest
Continuing with a discussion OF
command of air power, the regula.
ton states:
In the inherent flexibility of ali
power is its greatest asset. This
hexibility makes it possible to employ
the whole weight of the available
air power against selective areas ir
turn; such concentrated use of the
air striking force is battle winning
factor of the first Importance.
Control of available air power
must be centralized and command
must be exercised through the all
force commander if this inherent
flexibility and ability to deliver the
decisive blow are to be fully ex.
plotted. Therefore, the command
of air and ground forces in a single
theater of operation will be vestec
in the superior commander charged
with the actual conduct of opera
tions in the theater who will exer-
else command of air forces through

Just before closing time on the
afternoon OF March 13, Mr.. Bagley
related afterward, he heard a com
motion out in the lobby.

Indians yelling. AS I looked out,
Dillinger leaned over a counter and
pointed gun at me-" he said.
Mr.. Bagley moved to close the
door which opened into his private

Dillmger fired. A hole appeared in
the door, just below Mr.. Bagley's
arm. and splinters showered his
coat, but the bullet. the last in the
mobster's gun, did no ohter damage
The gang proceeded to raid coun-
tiers and vault of $4,000 and swept
out of town. taking unwilling Gift

killed or captured.
