Potatoes Planted Early

Probably due TO the potato
shortage. more people than usual
planted potatoes this year. Now
that their plants have grown well,
they are wondering just when TO

Gun Director
Protected for
Trip TO Front
Delicate Anfi-Aircraft
Device Destined to
Be Tossed Overheard

One OF the most delicate instru-
ments OF this war, the anti-air-
craft director made at the High
land Park plant of the Ford Mo-
tor Co. is destined from its be-
ginning to be tossed overheard"
Since many bases occupied by
American and Allied troops have
no harbors. the director is thrown
into the water--sometimes as far
as a mile out at sea-and left to
wash ashore. This has required
development of a new technique
in packing.
The instrument is made vapor-
proof, waterproof. is protected
against changing temperatures,
rust, corrosion. jolting, dropping
and shock. When our fighting men
receive it, it is ready for action
against the enemy.

BOLTED TO FLOOR

The director is then bolted 10
the crate floor, covered with a
cardboard shroud and padded
with felt TO further protect
against jolts. Then a "vapor bar
rier" is folded to completely en-
case the unit.
Few housewives thought their
common household appliances
would ever aid in winning the
war. but at this point in the pack
ing process a vacuum cleaner and
an iron come into play. The vul-
canizing iron, which looks like the
curling iron, seals the edges of
the vapor barrier. The vacuum
cleaner draws all air out of the
package. and the resulting vac
uum created inside the package
protects the director against
changes in temperature.
The top and sides of the wooden
crate are then attached and the
anti-aircraft gun director is ready
for shipping.

Victory Gardens
Need Good Dose
OF Fertilizer Now

1t Is wise to consider now the
addition of fertilizer along the
rows of your Victory Garden. If
you were in hurry when you
planted seed and set plants and
did not apply fertilizer before do
ing so, an addition now is really
necessary for the wellbeing of
your plants.
If you have a new garden and
the soil 10 begin with had not
much to offer in the way of
organic matter or nutrients for
plants, fertilizer added now may
make all the difference between
the success and failure of the
crop.
On very gravelly or sandy
soils. especially in a season OF
much rain as this has been. the
fertilizer added in early spring
has probably washed away ir
large part by now and shoulc
be replaced.

Maryland Parole Law
Faces Test Of Legality
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 20. - The
Maryland Court of Appeals will be
asked to consider the constitutional
ity of the Maryland law governing
recommitment to prison of parole
violators, Attorney General William
c. Walsh has disclosed.
The law was declared unconstitu-
tional by Chief Judge Ogle Marbury
of the seventh judicial circuit be-
cause it did not provide for a hear
ing by the Parole Board before a
parolee was returned to prison.
Judge Marburys ruling was handed
down as the result of a habeas corpus
proceeding held before him recently
in Prince Georges County Circuit
Court. The petitioner had been
convicted in Baltimore County and
later paroled. He then went to a
Midwestern State where he allegedly
violated his parole and was then re-
committed to prison. Judge Mar
bury held that the man was returned
to prison without hearing by the
Parole Board and that this action
was a violation of the 14th amend
ment to the Constitution.
Mr.. Walsh said yesterday that
Chief Judge D. Lindley Sloan of the
Court of Appeals said the case would
be argued during the October term

Two Women Held on CHARGES
Of Foking Boby's Birth Record
Accused Of Entering
Girl in Hospital as
Wife of Servicemun

Charged with conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States by entering
an unwed mother as service wife
on hospital records, two young wom-
en- were held in bail today by United
States Commissioner Needham C.
Turnage.
Mrs. Joseph Mcclure, 80, of the
200 block of Tenth street Sc, wife
of warrant officer in the Navy, also
was charged with conspiring to kid
nap the child, now two weeks old,
whom she named 10 Ann Marie Nc
Guire and now In the care of her
ter-in-law, also resident of the
Southeast. Mrs. MCGUIRE was held
in $1,000 bail.
The other young woman was
Catherine Samarzo, %, mother of
the child, a drugstore counter girl.
She came here a year ago from a
West Virginia coal mining commu-
nifty and lived for time with Mrs.
MCGUIRE. She was held in $500 bail.
Baby's Mother Tells Story.
Undeterred by the warnings of the
commissioner that she was a de-
fendant and that anything she said
could be used against her, the
Samarzo girl took the witness chair
and told her story.
-Four months ago she was wonder
ing what to do about her coming
baby, she said, when she met girl
who roomed with Mrs Mcclure.
She went to see Mrs. Mcclure at the
girls suggestion and Mrs. Mcclure
told her, she said, that she would
be able to arrange for her to have
her baby at Government expense.
The witness said she consented to
give her the baby under the ar
rangement.
Mrs. Mcclure took her to the
clinic Of the naval dispensary, where
she was given a prenatal examina-
ton. The two young women ex-
changed names for the purpose, she
said. She registered as Mrs. Nc
Guire, she said and Mrs. Mcguire,
who did the talking, represented
herself as friend.
Denies Signing Papers.
Mrs. MCGUIRE S lawyer, Albert Ly-
man, produced copy of an agree
ment to give the child to Mrs. Nc
Guire for adoption and asked the
Samarzo girl If she had not signed
it. She denied 1t, saying that her
signature on the original had been
placed on blank sheet Of paper at
Mrs. McGuire's suggestion so the
latter could obtain a sugar ration
book.
The baby was born at the Navy's
expense in Providence Hospital
September l3. The witness said she
changed her mind about giving her
child away after the birth. On her
return to the Mcclure household,
she said, she had fist fight with a
girl who called her child "a name"
and dispute with Mrs. Mcclure
about being seen with sailor, q
service mate of her brother. Mrs.
Mcclure, she said, gave her IS to
get herself a room.

Greeks Face Starvation

ISTANBUL, Sept. 29.--Unless the
Allies invade Greece before winter
sets in and bring large scale relief,
the country's population. especially
the middle classes, will be threatened
with extinction from malnutrition
and starvation, a former official of
the Athens government said yes

This report was made by Kon-
stantin Sbarounas, until recently
general secretary of the Ministry of
Finance in the Athens government,
to the United States Greek relief
representative in Turkey.
Sbarounas, now in Cairo, reported
that the Nazi armies of occupation
had burned 200 Greek villages in an
attempt to crush the Andarts. Greek

created new refugee problem.

they swished by.
They must have made two more
passes at us diving at our tail be-
cause I could hear the turret gun
ner opening up on them twice. But
they failed to get us. We evidently
had gone too far beyond our fighter
protection in chasing after the de-
stroyer in Vitiaz Strait.
We came back over the battle area
at 1000 feet and I could see hum
dreds OF Japs in the water clinging
to RATS and lumber. The truth Is
l was keeping watch for the Zeros
when we passed the debris. I didn't
have much of a chance to look at
the Japs in the water.
We were unable to get back across
the mountains and landed at Dob
udura that night, our new strip
near Buna. Fortunately, 1t rained,
so the Nips were unable to catch us
on the ground. We heard a Jap
recon plane overhead, but he couldn't
get in.
Some of the boys had to sleep
without mosquito netting that night
and I think that accounted for a
few of the cases of malaria that
struck, our men about a week later.
We did get back all right the next
morning.

After having listened to the radio
chatter and to the pilots returning
from the morning mission we were
all hot to see what was left out there
at thesscene of the battle.
In about Is minutes I could see
great oil slicks on the water from
my 8,000-foot elevation. Haze on
the horizon soon turned out to be
smoke from three smoldering cargo
ships, lying stricken and listing. far
apart in the water.
Above me the Flying Fortresses
split into four flights of three, each
picking targets. To the right of the
cargo vessels, as I came in was

Just as we came opposite the de-

4 From the chatter on the radio we
feared that there would be nothing
left for the afternoon mission, which
! was to lead.
We heard one Flying Fortress pilot

And another pilot reply:

forgotten to get his laundry bag

d piece Of shrapnel had smashed
into the laundry bag, giving the
navigator nothing worse than a kick
IN the pants but messing up the
laundry considerably. Shearer never
did get over kicking about his
laundry.
The weather was terrible in the
afternoon. We had an awful time
getting over the mountains. We
finally crossed at 10000 feet. We
were an hour late In getting to the
rendezvous at Cape Ward Hunt, a
big knob Of land up the coast where
our patrols on the ground and the
3Nips patrols were still mixing things
up. No pilot could miss 1t.
To our surprise the Fortresses
we're still there. circling about up
stairs with swarm OF P-38s about
them like gnats. Every one had
