District Marine Runs
Movie in West Indies

Marine Corps Pfc. William E.
Glover, 23O5 First street NE, is ex-
periencing the unique position OF
running the only moving picture
theater on Jamaica, w. I.
The military sponsored theater is
crowded every night by patrons who
sit on wooden benches set in a nat
ural amphitheater. Nightly re-
ceipts, dissatisfied customers and
weekly payrolls do not bother Pvt.
Glover for his shows are free-and
so is the help.
Running a moving picture ca
mera is a new job for Pvt Glover,
who was a grocery store cashier be-
fore joining the Marine Corps at
Cincinnati in February, 1912. He
received his preliminary training at
Paris Island, S. c., and has been on
active duty outside OF the United
States for more than a year.

New Hampshire First.

The first of these primaries is to
be held in New Hampshire March
IA. At the present moment Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire, appears intent on having
either an uninstructed COP State
delegation or a delegation pledged
to himself. Mr.. Willkie has many
friends in New Hampshire, and If
he permitted a slate of delegates
pledged to him to be entered in the
primary, there would be an i'm
mediate test. 1t would be difficult
for any candidate to overcome the
Bridges organization and Mr.. Willkie
may have to take that into con-
sideration when he makes a de-
cision regarding the New Hampshire
primary.
Arkansas has the earliest filing
date for presidential candidates.
The candidates filing for prefernece
must do so six months in advance of
the nominating conventions. AS
these take place usually in June
or July, the candidates who wish to
file in Arkansas must do so prob
ably in January. In Illinois they
must file in February. The primary
takes place April H. Ohio's primary
is May 9, but the delegates must file
and announce their preferences by
March 9.
Much Spade Work.
Obviously, therefore. some indica-
tion of the trends In the presidential
nominations races may appear early
next year. In the meantime,
great deal of spade work is being
done for the candidates. both Re-
publican and Democratic. d.
OF the 18 preference primary
States, II permit the candidates to
place their names on the ballots.
Seven of the States-Alabama,
California, Florida, Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire, New York and
South Dakota-do not permit candi-
dates to have their names on the
ballot. They do permit the dele
gate candidates, however, to place
on the ballot the name of the can
didate he will support for the presi-
Dental nomination at the national
convention.
Several of the States require the
consent OF a presidential candidate
before his name may be used in the
primary elections. In Georgia, the
State Central committee determines
whether presidential primary is
to be held.

Crime Rate Here Now
Below Normal, Guide
Tells D. T.. Critics,

Granville Guide, president of the
Washington Board of Trade, yester-
day answered wartime critics of this
city on broad front and specifically
declared there is no tangible evi-
dence to support recent assertion
by Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes that
there is crime wave sweeping the
Capital as a direct result Of heavy
indulgence in. liquor"
Washington's crime rate is below
normal, Mr.. Guide said after he had
sought the views of Maj. Edward j.
Kelly, superintendent of police.
Statements from the liquor deal
ers themselves verify the fact that
many of their. customers are not
residents of the District, but come
from communities outside the Dis
trict where State-controlled stores
either have rationing system in
effect or higher prices than those
which prevail here" Mr.. GUIDE said.
See Housing Picture Distorted.
Continuing, Mr.. GUIDE said WASH
ington seems to have been the tar
get OF sensational statements during
these war years. Much has been
said about the housing conditions in
Washington, for example. Although
these conditions are not ideal, actual
statistics prove that the picture is
not really as bad as it has been
painted.
Il don't believe that the way to
remedy some of the conditions that
exist is by continually shouting
wolf. Authorities in the District
including congressional leaders, Dis
trict officials and civic and busi-
ness leaders all are striving toward
the same end-that Is, of making
this the focal point Of the Nations
war effort, and, at the same time
answering the needs of large, ex-
panded community"
Criticisms against patriotism OF
District residents also are unbound
ed, Mr.. Guide stated. Washing
tonians, he said, have averaged SIC
month per capita in the purchase
OF Series E Bonds, which gives them
one of the highest per capita rates
In the country.
"For many months we have been
In first or second place in the
amount Of per capita bond invest
ments throughout the continental
United States" he said. I'VE have
been well above our quota since De-
cember /, 1912.
Cites War Fund Response.
"The response of our citizens te
the Community War Fund appeal
Mr.. Guide continued, was eminently
satisfactory. The way in which
Washington went over the top on
the Red Cross War Fund Campaign
was even more amazing.
Il understand that the volunteers
for Red Cross blood donors have
exceeded even the highest expecta-
tlons of the officials in charge
Finally, the manner in which the
citizens have responded to Civilian
Defense work Is not surpassed by
many communities throughout the
country. The enthusiasm which is
being shown for the Forthcoming
third anniversary, Civilian Defense
recruiting campaign, assures the
directors Of Civilian Defense that
the goal Of 10000 additional volun.
teer workers will be reached.
Il believe it is high time that
Washington and the citizens ot
Washington. be given due credit 10,
the total contributions they art
making toward this war effort. J
have always found that boost
gets much better results thar
knocks"

Volunteers Are Needed
For Red Cross Work

Volunteers are urgently needed by
the District chapter of the Red
Cross to help fill quotas of 2,75O
convalescent kits, $4,000 items to be
sewn and knitted for the war re-
lief and $1,000 items for the armed
forces and military hospitals, it was
announced last night by Otto S.
Lund, chapter manager.
The convalescent kits, the max
ing Of which was recently assigned
to the Red Cross Production Unit,
and are given to wounded men re-
turning from foreign duty. Con-
tents include a razor, package of
razor blades, tube of shaving cream,
toothbrush, tube of toothpaste, soap,
comb. face cloth, one pair of socks,
two packages of cigarettes, one pen
Gil, writing paper, envelopes, a book,
one package of playing cards, a
package of paper handkerchiefs, a
pair of bedroom slippers and a

THE FWA hospital program to
provide more than 1000 additional
hospital beds for the District and
vicinity" Mr.. Sullivan said, par
TALLY surmounted the vicissitudes of
wartime priorities so that $50 addi-
tional beds are assured. Among the
projects here was the venereal dis
ease center at Gallinger Hospital,
where one building with a capacity
of so beds was made available last
week, through renovation of an old
structure. Another SO beds will be
housed in a new building adjacent
to the hospital, to be completed by
October.

Under construction also are war
time hospitals in Prince Georges
County, Bethesda, Md, and Alex

To provide suitable recreation for
Washingtons wartime population,
new Fairgrounds are being con-
constructed. largely in the North
east, Southeast and Southwest Sec
tions of the city. Fourteen separate
sites are being developed. These are
to compensate the District for sites
taken over for temporary war build
ings or for military use.
Besides the war public works
projects, the FWA also has pro-
vided for operation of number of
war nursery schools and child care
centers to care for the children of
mothers engaged in essential war
work within the city and metro
politan area. Recreation centers
also have been provided for service

Maryland Gunner
To Return Here With
Grew Of Marauder
By a Staff CORRESPONDENT of The Star

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, North Africa, July
18.-Sergt. X. Moberly, 11S East
Patrick street, Frederick, Md, is on
his way back to the United States
as crew member of a B-26 Martin
Marauder, made in Baltimore, with
the perfectly horrendous name of
Lady Halitosis, II, which is return
ing to be exhibited by it's flyers,
veterans of so sorties. He hopes to
be able to go to flying school back
home.
Sergt. Moberly himself ended his
18th mission over enemy territory
the other day. He is the turret
gunner Of the craft, but he has had
only two clear shots at the enemy,
due, he says, to the excellence of
the fighter escorts.
Coming back from Pantelleria
the day before that Italian Medi-
terranean stronghold fell, Lady
Holitosis was attacked by two Mes
serschmitt fighters.
Wants Flying Training.
Il had a shot at one but I didn't
lead him enough" Sergt. Moberly
said. Anyway the tail gunner got
him. The other shot I had was at
a rather unaggressive enemy over a
Western Sicily airfeld but he
wouldn't come in range.
I hope they let me go to flying
school back in the States. When
l tried before I f1unked the physi-
cal. But since I've qualified as a
gunner, might make it this time -
Lady Halitosis was in service six
months. She has three flax holes
through the right engine cowling.
Nearly all her glass is broken. The
bombadier's plate glass was smashed
twice by enemy fire. The right
engine was shot out. On one rough
weather trip, loaded with 3OO-pound
bombs, she made a brakeless land
ing. She accounted for five enemy
aircraft. She dropped 35 tons Of
bombs and was in the air 434 hours.

Life Saved Twice.
Members of this same B-26
squadron tell the remarkable story
Of an unnamed gunner whose life
was saved twice in the air by the
same comrade. Tail Gunner Francis
s. Meeker of Ferry, Idaho.
In recent hop to Sicily their
plane was attacked by two Messer-
schmitts. A 20-millimeter cannon
ball caromed through the ending in
the bomb bay. Fragments of the
ships metal skin were driven into
the gunner's neck just under his
ear. Gunner Meeker continued fir
ing his own gun until the Messer-
schmitts were driven off by the ar
rival of escorting fighters. He then
got to his comrade and stopped the
flow of blood, saving his life.
Before on mission over FLAX AL
ley between Tunis and Bizerte the
same waist gunner was wounded
when a shell exploded against the
armor plate on which he was kneel-

The promised extension of the

selectees to three weeks will become

ters announced last night.
Both the Navy and the Coast

ply only to selectees inducted on or

not be given extra time.

Until last fall the Army granted
two-week inactive duty periods. At
that time the period was reduced to
one week. On May "a of this year.
however, the Army extended its fur
Tough period again to two weeks,
with the announcement that before
September the furlough would be
extended to three weeks.
To keep the flow to reception CEN
tiers equaliZed, various induction
stations have extended the furlough
period at different times on orders
from the Army. The three-week
furlough will affect all District men
inducted at the Fort Myer (Va.) in
duction station.
Army officials said the furlough
was being extended to give men
more time to wind up their affairs.
1t was thought that men now going
into the Army and expected to enter
the service for the rest of this year
have more family responsibilities
than the selectees who preceded
them and therefore would need more
time to make family adjustments.

111C CuCl al
ing ahead rapidly in construction of
about $16OO0,OOO worth of commu-
nifty projects in Washington and
nearby counties to serve the ex-
panded wartime population.
This was disclosed last night by
a progress report" made to Mai.
Gen. Philip B. Fleming, Federal
Works Administrator, by Henry J.
Sullivan in charge of sub-region
No. 2 Of FWA. This region en-
braces the District, Alexandria, Arl-
1ngton County and parts of Fairfax,
Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties.
War brought to Washington and
its Metropolitan Area" said the re-
port, "a tremendous increase in
population, and with it the urgent
need for more water, more hospital
beds, more schools and other public
works and as corollary the neces-
slty for provision of public services
including war nurseries, and child
care centers. recreation for thou
sands of servicemen, and other
recreation and service facilities.
Many Projects Completed.
1T soon became evident that the
District and nearby Maryland and
Virginia county budgets could not
meet the sudden demands without
the assistance of the Federal Gov
ernment."
Despite rigid restrictions on the
use Of critical materials" Mr.. Sulli-
van reported, many of these emer-
gency requirements" have been met
Out of the scores of projects some
have been built or are near COM
pletion and others will be underway
within short time
OF particular Importance this
weekend because of the break YES
terday in the water supply here is
the project for guaranteed and
adequate water supply" for the Cap
ltal and its suburbs. Under con-
struction now are a 30-inch supply
line to serve Boiling Field, and the
Naval Air Station and 24-inch line
which will supply the war workers
in the Southeast area across the
Anacostia River.
Pump Station Built.
Another project in the FWA water
program was rehabilitation and erec-
ton of a 10000, ,0O0- gallon pump at
the Dalecarlia pumping station.
Other important District water
projects, it was said, have been
deferred pending further negotia-
tions between FWA and the War
Production Board"
To insure an adequate supply of
filtered water to Arlington County,
FWA has built a 100000 gallon
reservoir on Minor Hill at Powhatan
and North Rockingham streets. The
reservoir is fed from lines running
to the Districts Dalecarlia plant
From the new reservoir, Federal
Works Agency has constructed eight
miles Of cast iron pipe line follow
ing the southwesterly boundary of
the county to connect with the
county system to serve homes in
that section of Arlington, including
darlington homes. FWA also made
allotments to reinforce the mains
serving the Government at Suit
land, Md, and in parts Of Mont
gomery County.
The progress report by Mr.. Sulli-
van went into great detail listing
all projects in this area which have
been constructed, those under way
and those which will begin soon.
New Schools Built.

Primaries in 1S States
May Show Political
Trend Early in 1914
Bv GOULD LINCOLN.


Presidential preferential primaries
in 18 States early next year, includ-
ing half a dozen of the most popu-
lous States, clearly indicate the
probable presidential nominees of
both major parties before the nomi-
mating conventions are held. Ger
tainly this is likely to be true of
the Democratic nominee If Presi-
dent Roosevelt runs again.
While the Republican picture is
very different, any candidate who
showed himself able to win the
preference vote in such States as
New York, New Jersey, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, California,
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin, or in
a majority Of them, would be a
long way on the road to the nomina-
ton. What is likely to happen in
the COP preferential primaries,
however, is the election of many
delegations committed to different,
or "favorite son" candidates, or the
election of considerable number
OF unpledged delegates.
Willkie May Enter Name.
Wendell Willkie has said he may
enter many of these primary cleo
tions. 1t has been regarded as
essential for him to show strength
with the voters if he is to have a
real chance for the nomination. If
he does, he may have to challenge
