be done very easily once you
learn the secret. And when you

 Court Action Today

Superior Court Judge William H. Comley today approved a motion of the state bank commissioner to compromise a $l7050 mortgage of the Merchants Trust Company on premises at 22l Bank street for $l2,- 900. Attorney Robert Bowling, who represented Walter Perry, suc- cessor receiver of the bank, at the hearing, said the owner, the Colum- bus Building Corporation, is un- able to reflnance the loan and that the bank deems 1t inadvisable to foreclose.
 The court was told the owner of the building, which houses the Stag hotel and three stores, is negotiat- ing to sel lit for $i5,000. Payment of taxes and other debts, however, would reduce the profit, MT. Dowl- ing stated.
 Compromise was requested by hte bank because of the condition Of the premises. Extensive repair work, include plumbing clustering, painting, and brick pointing, Is nee essary, the court was told. The pres ent owner has no other assets frrim which collection would be possible, and the only other recourse would be eventually to foreclos, the official stated.
 The original amount of the debt was $20,000, according to papers filed in the court.

(Contlnued from Page l) cen Soviet boats crammed with troops were sunk in the Kuban river before reaching mid-stream, the broadcast said, and II Soviet ferry boats were destroyed by German bombers in the Sea of Azov.)
 The Soviet midday communique credited Russian artillery with de- stroying two German tanks, silenc- ing 20 artillery batteries and more than 30 machine gun nests and wrecking many earth and timber forts.
 The Germans are suffering heavy losses in manpower both northeast of Novorossisk and along the Kuban river, the communique said. In one town alone, more than $50 enemy dead were counted while in an- other, 200 wounded officers and men were captured.
 Among the neWly-captured hills, front dispatches said, was one dom mating a large inhabited place.
 West of Krymskaya, IT miles northeast of Novorossisk and anoth- CT of the II localities captured in the initial Soviet breakthrough, the Germans were reported falling back toward the Black Sea. They were separated from their compatriots on the left by a large, inundated valley. 1t was said.
 Meanwhile Russian bombers, un- officially estimated to number up- wards of 400, were attacking enemy bases throughout occupied Russia nightly.

 SIX ENEMY TANKS
Continued from Page D

The Germans are holding a de- rense line in St, Cyprien village they have dug some damaged tanks into the ground for use as strong points against our armor.
 It was a wierd, dust-choked bat tle that was fought over the low rolling hills east Of Med jez- El- -Bab Dust churned up by tens of thou sands of wheels and hundreds of heavy tanks slowly mounted over the field. blnding the attackers and defenders alike.
 Through the dust the British armor thrust out in two great rams of steel flanking the Medjez-Tunis road, and by yesterday evening were feeling their way half the distance from Massicault to St, Cyprien,
 A British staff officer said last night that the battle had gone much better than eXpected,' either because the Germans were caught oiT guard by the direction of the main thrust or because they were reaching the end Of their power to withstand the Allied battering ram, or both.
 Though the Germans were In precarious position, they certainly will fight on, It seemed possible they would be forced to draw in their threatened positions above and below the main line of the Brit!gh advance and concentrata on the de- fense of Tunis and line south to Zaghouan and thence to Bou Ficha on the coastal road.

Somewhat different is Shirley Vonklin, who would be a singer. She was accepted for a New York musical at her first addition. ThG show closed in two weeks. After that she got 8 job as usher at the Normandie theater. In month she was assistant manager.
 On date one night she stopped in at Cerutti's, a smart little spot on Madison avenue. Cerutti asked her to sing and, after hearing her do Lover Come Back to Me" and the aplause which followed, offered her job. She took 1t, but she kept her job a assistant manager, too.
 It's strange and prudent form of the technique known as "douby ling" by which stage stars build their incomes into the high brack- cts. Arlene Francis, quiz mistress on the air, doubles as Russian girl sniper in "Doughgirls." Victor Borge, Danish comedian, doubles at the Waldorf -Astoria's Wedg- wood room and such places as the Capitol and Roxy theaters. Chorus girls often work in show like the "ziegfeld Follies" and a night club afterward.
 A MOTHER form of doubling is -A being shown at the Cotillion room by Ruth Hughes Aarons. During part of the show she is in her familiar role as worlds table tennis champion. Then sine takes off the sports garb, puts on an eve ming frock, and sings. She is good either way. Ruth is the daughter of Leila Hughes. glamorous musical comedy queen of pre-war days, and Alfred E.

 Many Axis prisoners were taken Eut no count had yet been made and hopping up operations still W-re i'll progress at many points.
 The Americans striking southeast from Matcur cleared the hills four miles south Of Chouigui despite strong resistance. They pressed on toward Tebourba. Front dispatches said the enemy withdrawal were mostly in the direction Of Tunis, in- dicating the Germans planned to make a "Bataan stand" on Cap Bon Peninsula cast of Tunis.
 For more than 36 hours the Allied double headed offensive had been gaining momentum and the Axis appeared to be too badly beaten to hold much hope Of stopping 1t short of Cau Bon.
 The main attack on Thursday was on q l0-mile front where the Brit iSh First Army broke through the last mountain barriers east Of Medjez-El- Bab and flooded out on the rolling plain, pushing beyond Massicault in a sudden lightning thrust The break through was made possible by an all-out Allied aerial assault that sometimes brought in- fantry leaping out Of foXholes to cheer and shout at the bombers sweeping close together over the enemy positions and unloading mighty cargoes that shook the hills,

 The Jewish Welfare Board re- ceives U. s. o. alotments as an agency of the U. S. o. But it must meet its own budget for the special religious and welfare needs of Jews in uniform and for the maintenance of It's normal peacetime operations, more than ever essential in war time, in communities throughout the United States.
 Al Americans have reason to take pride in the inter-faith non- sectarian service the Jewish Well fare Board is rendering severally and also in it's religious program for those of Jewish faith. The vital need for religious activities to aid high morale of the soldier, sailor and marine has been demonstrated time and again. The Jewish Welfare Boards work in that field repre- sents a significant contribution to their fighting spirit.
