Slain Flyer
 Was Aussie

Canberra, Oct. il - (UP) - The Allied airman whose beheading was disclosed in Q diary found on a dead Japanese in New Guinea was an Australian, Prime Minister John Curtain revealed today. He refused to disclose the flyers name.
 The Flyer was captured in March when his Douglas transport plane crashed in what was then Japanese held Territory around Salamuda.
 The diarist whose notes revealed the slaying said he was beheaded by a Japanese officer and then dis emboweled by a seaman.
 The account of the atrocity issued at Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head quarters did not give the flyers na- tionality.
 The announcement said it was not the policy of the government to release information about atrocities, but in view of the fact that publica- ton of information in this instance was causing anxiety among the rela- tiveS of Australians captured or missing, the government had decided to communicate the identity of the victim to his next of kin.
 'The name will be unpublished by the government" Curtin said, ''as this is a private and intimate mat ter associated with deep grief."

 Escape rial

Mercer. Pa, Oct. 11.-(UP)-Wils liam Morell, 20, dull-witted slayer ot three persons, may succeed in saving his 20-year-old girl friend from standing trial as his accomplice, it was indicated today.
 Police said they believed Morelps story that Janice Graham was bound hand and foot while he strangled Mrs. Everett wilson, wife of his eK1- ployer, and then killed Wilson's mother, Mrs. Katherine wilson, and Robert Mckay, another hired hand on the wilson farm.
 District Attorney Edwin c. Moon said he had not yet decided how to proceed against Miss Graham who fled tho Wilson farm with Morell after the slayings last week and was with him, posing as his wife, when he was arrested in Ohio Friday night. She is held on technical charge of murder.
 Morell repeated his confession to the slayings yesterday while Q court stenograpter took 1t down. He said he bound Miss Graham before he gave way to c honicidal rage and that she still was bound when he put her into the wilson car and fled. She knew nothing of the slayings until they arrived in Cleveland two days later, he said.
 Miss Graham was visited in the jail yesterday by her parents. Her father said: "Janice has been the victim of circumstances. She is c good girl" Her mother said: Janice is extremely nervous. I know that she never would do anything wrong"
 Everett wilson, son and husband of two of the victims, attended their funeral yesterday.
 "I'm not blaming anyone but my. Self," he said. 'These things hap- pen and no one knows why"
 Believing Morell to be "a good boy" he had him paroled from the county jail Q month ago and gave him Q job on his farm Morell was in jail then for forgery.

Peace And Wor' ByHuII

iWn6n1ugoo0, OCEs 4Is ANOEy~- Cordell Hull began his career As secretary of state in 1888 with the fear that Q general war during the next two to 10 years was more prob- able than peace.
 That was revealed this weekend in the release of documents accom- panying the state departments white paper: Peace and War, Q. 8. Foreign Policy, Ie3I-4i."
 On Nov. 3, 1033-lO years ago and only eight months after Hull be- came secretary of state-Hull had an interview with the German am. bassador. Tn . memorandum records ing his conversation, Hull wrote:
 T added I. that my country had exerted itself in every way possible in support of the later (peace) and against the possible recurrence of the former (war), but that frankly felt somewhat discouraged .."
 The ETA documents were pre-. sented by the state department as evidence of its contention that from the Mikden incident in Manchuria In 1881 and Hitlers rise to power, reports from field representatives revealed the possibility of c Jap- ai1ese- German threat to world peace.
 Most of the documents are not new. Many of them have been pub Mshed before and many others are President Roosevelt, Hull and other foreign policy officials.
 There appeared to be two notable omissions.
 No Dodd Dispatches
 The volume contains no dispatches by William E. Dodd, who was Presi- dent Roosevelt's first Ambassador to Berlin. His diary. published after his death, was severely critical of the state department and contained many complaints that the depart ment ignored his warnings about the dangers of Naziskn.
 The only reference to Dodd in the state departments volume is Q memorandum by George s. Messer- smith, then minister to Austria, about e conversation with podd.
 We ... agreed" Messersmith wrote, 'that no faith whatever can be laid in the present (EzitIer's) re- gime and Its promises, and that we are going to suffer unless we recog- nize what they are recally after, and this means unlimited territorial expansion"
 The other event on which little appears in the volume Is the Sparl- ish Civil War. Another is the text of Congressional resolution. The fourth was . telegram to diplomatic and consular officers in Spain point ing out In 1886 that the neutrality law with respect to the embargo of arms had no application ~since that applies only in event of war be- tween or among nations"

Vlir,oInt's Plane Out Fighting

4UA1uOA1, QCt, A. QNsEW '. ANe. Flying Fortress which Lieutenant John c. Wina1t, Jrs piloted over Germany yesterday on his 18th combat mission went down fighting three German planes. And the NaM pilots tried to machine gun three crewmen who parachuted from the crippled ship.
 The account of the mission from which the U. S. ambassador to Bri- tain's 2l-year-old son failed to re- turn was related today by crew members of anothe- bomber who witnessed the battle.
 Sergeant Fred P. Livingston, sayre, Okla, said Winant's plane, the Tech Suppiy'' was hit re- peatedly by enemy fire and went out fighting"
 "The Tech supply's bomb bay doors were still open, though we were some distance from the tar- get" he said. "One of its tail gun- nerg was blazing away with red tracers at three Me-1O0s as the Tech Supply kept falling back.
 Later, I saw the Tech Supply making full circles about 800 yards back of the Rose Marie (Livingston's plane.) I saw three 'chutes and one free fall.' The ship was under at tack by three fighters. Each made q pass at each of the parachutes and then resumed the attack on the fort. The fort kept falling back"
 Sergeant John W. Graves, Melissa, Tex, top tlirret gunner in the Rose Marie, said Winant's plane was shot down IS minutes after they had passed the target and were heading homeward.
 ''Winant's Fort crossed in front of and above the Rose Marie. It looked like the front window of his cockpit and half the upper tlirret were shot away. The next time looked. Win ants plane just wasn't there"
 Rocket Shell
 Reports from other witnesses sug- gested his bomber had been hit by . rocket shell fired from one of the German fighters.
 Lieutenant Stephen Nehe8 Mc- Keesport, Pa, assistant engineering ofncer of Winant's squadron, recall cd that the young pilot told him be- fore he took of: Don't call this mission number 13-call it 12.B."
 q told him I was going to church that day. and he said say Q prayer for me- but he didn't Ap. pear nervous" NeheE said.
 Winant was known among his fell low bomber flyers as "A Good Joe" " and ''aS cool as they come"
 He participated in the first Amer ican England Africa shuttle raid last August when the Flying Fort resseS bombed Regensburg, in southern Germany, and new on to bases in North Afric; returning some time later to bomb targets in France on the way home.
 Winant started on the homeward leg of that mission with his forma. ton but was forced to turn back and made the trip to England sev. eral days later.
 His fortress was the only one that successfully followed its group leader all the way to North Africa, and on his return he was com mended by his superior officers.
 Winant's home was in Concord, N. H.. and he studied at St: Paul's in Concord, and in Switzerland from 1938 to 1899. He was freshman at Princeton in 1042 until he left to join the Army Air Force.
 He took his primary training ct Goodfellow Field, San Angelo, Tex, ard was commissioned on Dec. IS, 1922, at Geiger Field, Wash.
 Ambassador Winan. had no con- nlert pending receipt of further de- tails from the Eighth Air Force.

800 NEW VOTERS
 QUALIFY TO DATE

A total of almost 800 new voters have been made since the session started last week in the aldermanic chambers, when 1t was announced that i75 additional electors went on record during the session held last Saturday.
 Of this latter group about 36 signed the Democratic primary list and about 16 went on the Republ- can list.
