Mr.. Christie first was examined for
burned hairs. O11cers were con-

No burns were found on Mr.
Christie, he said, and De Marigny

willingly removed his shirt.
Il looked first at his left arm, the
fingers, hand and other portions of
the forearm" Capt. Barker related
Il did the same with the right arm
and then with the mustache, beard

At the time De Marigny was

Mr.. Higgs had attacked the evil

said the court had only Capt

that the print came from the surface
OF the bed screen.

Mr.. Higgs took both of them to his
desk and studied them carefully.
Capt. Barker said duplicate neg

by Frank Conway, New York police

the record, Capt. Barker explaining
that both prints were lifted July g.

Mr.. Higgs opened his cross-exami-

the question of the exact spot on the
screen from which the print was
lifted.
The screen was opened to show
one panel where a blue pencilled area
was marked in Magistrates Court to
designate the flngerprint spot.
Il cannot definitely say Capt.
Barker testified, that the right print
came from the part marked on the
panel with the blue pencil.

Don't touch that screen!" shouted
MI. Higgs.
Il won't touch it, I'm as careful as
ANYBODY here"
Don't let him touch it, your

Mr.. Hlggs, Capt. Barker and the
chief justice gathered around The

Su||ivans Lose Hope
As Sailor Tells How
Five Sons Died

WATERLOO, Iowa, Jan. 15-The
last slender thread Of hope that
their five sons, reported missing ir
action by the Navy. might still be
alive snapped yesterday for Mr.. ano
Mrs. Thomas F. Sullivan.
A letter sent from Chicago tolc
how George, 90, eldest of the five
brothers lost in the sinking of the
cruiser Juneau, had died on life
raft and the other four had gone
down with the ship.
The five brothers, George T.
Francis H., 26; Joseph E., %;
Madison A., %. and Albert L., 20
were reported lost in a sea battle
which took place in the Solomon
Islands last November.
Navy officers have called the

said only that he was Nebraska

The letter read in part:
First let me introduce myself I
was a sailor on the Juneau with
your boys. George was a special
friend of mine. l am afraid all hope
is gone for your boys.
George got off ''' but = s. died
on the life raft I was on.
The other boys were below at the
time. They went down with the
ship and did not suffer.
1T was sad and pathetic sight
to see George looking for his broth
ers, but all to no avail.
Talked of Postwar Life.
George and I made several
liberties together and always kidded
about coming home and going back
on the railroad after the war was
over.

OF this sort helps you or hurts. But
it's the truth I saw it.

First Aid GiUen At NelC v Y0rd Hospital

The Victory Yard Hospital opened up in it's temporary quar- eers on July g, 1922, in the ma- chine shop next to the office. Miss Catherine F. Sullivan, R. N., was transferred from the main yard hospital on that date, much to the regret of all main yard employees.
 On Oct. l, 1922, another main yard nurse who was very popular with all second shift employees, Miss Helene Honey" Macdonald, R. N, was transferred to the "V'' yard.
 As the yard progressed, and daily more workmen were either transferred from the main or south yards, or newly hired workmen (and women) appeared, it became . necessary to hire a clerk. So on Dec. ', 1922, Miss Florence Cook, a New London girl, made her ap- pearance
 On the first of March, 1943, Miss Anna Stick, R. N., was hired to as- sist Miss Sullivan on the day shift, and on May 10, Miss Marguerite J. Grippe, R. N., was hired to as- ist Miss Macdonald on the second shift. With the increase in the personnel, both of the hospital and of the yard, it became necessary to move to larger quarters, so on the 18th of October, 1942, the hospital was removed to a separate build ing in a central loctaiOn In the yard, next to the cafeteria.
 The new hospital is very light and airy, with its 18 windows, and it's color scheme of white with brown wainscotting adding to it8 attractiveness. It is equipped with , a large central surgical dressing room, a, doctors office, an emer- gency stretcher room and large waiting room, making it complete ly modernistic in every detail. The ' Hiding itself is of cinder block construction, constructed with very little metal, thus saving the very precious metal for the build ing of snips for a far greater pur- pose.

tive from Dept 3O0 came to me for the answer and to get the answer he and I called upon Mir. John l.. Sullivan, general foreman of the machine shop. Mir. Sullivan stated that if a man, when asked by his fore man to work on Sunday tells him that he does not want to work, he will not suffer in any way, either by discrimination or by having his attendance record marked absent.
 So with this answer in mind let us also keep in mind the fact that unless it was absolute ly necessary the Co. would not ask anyone to work on Sum- day, and also that if you feel the need of this rest no one is going to argue with you about it.

Some weeks ago a vote was conducted in the yard by the Company at the inStigation of the Union. This vote was for the purpose of determining what a new schedule of work ing hours for the Shipyard and Engineering divisions would be.
 I am particularly concerned here with the Machine shop, because a question has arisen which definitely needs to be clarified. In three departments of the machine shop, namely 3O3, BOP, and 307, there is work of an emergency nature which makes 1t necessary to work men on Sundays, which we consider an off Sunday. The question then is, is a man ob- liged to work on this Sunday if he does not want to do so?
