Slade financial secretary, with

How the church came to have its
funds in a small country bank $50
miles from headquarters is a ques-
ton being asked by many leaders
of that denomination. 1t was ex-
planned that DR.. Slade was a pers-
onal friend of the bank president
and after moving to Charlotte he
continued doing business with the
institution. It is understood tha-
a large portion Of the funds Of the
financial department only were on
deposit and the closing does not
effect the monies controlled BY
other church departments.
Because church ACCOUNTS are IN

between Lloyd Nolan and Taylor.
Taylor suspects Nolan of being a
corporal who committed a murder
back in the States and escaped
from Taylor'S charge. At the very
end, Nolan confesses that he is
THE man. but not until he has
given such a display of heroism
that Taylor forgiveS him.
Although traught with great
suspense throughout, the most eX-
citing sequence is that in which
the camouflaged Japs first attack.
This Is wholesale carnage with
our lost patrol taking a heavy
toll of NipS.
There are also some very human
moments. like that in which Desi
ArnaZ dies and the one in which
the sailor tries TO play taps over
the captains grave.
The individual performances
are excellent with Thomas Mitch
ell, Robert Walker and Lloyd
Nolan turning in the top charac-
terizationS. These portrayals to-
gether with expert direction, ex-
cellent photography and plenty of
action are the chief reasons for
recommending 'Bataan."

Man Rides Mile
Between Cars with
Death at Heels
Worker Who Almost
Missed Train Wishes
He Hadn't Caught On

NEW YORK, Feb. 4. (UP)
Carl Scheide, 80, thought
today that there must be
some safer form of transpor-
tation than an elevated train
for a man to almost miss.
Scheide almost missed the am
train yesterday. Desperately clutch
ing an air brake hose between two
cars, he rode almost a mile before
the train stopped at station.
He swayed dangerously close to
the third rail, from which the train
picked up its power. The third rail
carried a stronger charge than any
electric chair. One brush against
it would have killed him.
His back bumped against the
roadbed and cross ties. His hands
felt as if they were paralyzed, but
if he had let go, the wheels would
have ground him to death.
Schcide and his neighbor, Ru-
dolph Boedefeld, both of whom work
at the Sperry Gyroscope plant, ar
rived at the station together.
Scheide stopped to buy paper, and
rushed to the platform to catch the
train before the doors closed. He
was too late. The doors were closed
and the train was pulling out.
He was going too fast to stop,
and plunged over the platform be-
tween cars and managed to wrap
lis arms and legs about the hose.
Bodefeld, who had waited, shout
ed for someone to pull the emerg-
ency cord A guard pulled him back
and told him to shut up, if Scheide
had missed The hose he was already
dead, and if he had caught the hose
and the train were stopped by the
emergency cord, he would be crush
ed between two suddenly stopping
cars.
Scheide travelled on, high over a
bridge that spanned a creek and
offered another imminent possibili
ty of death.
At the next station, suit torn and
ripped, blackened and dazed, he
pulled himself up, got into a car
and rooe to the trains last stop.
Bcdefeld found him sitting there
on a bench, too scared to talk or
move.

Wage Plans Totter

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.
(UP)-The demand of 450,-

may be a body blow to the admins

President John l.. Lewis of the

stem a steady / ise in the cost of

Most observers here felt that
Lewis action has blown the top
off powder keg."
Some action to preserve wage and
price ceilings almost certainly will
be taken soon. The WLB, beset
with requests on all sides for wage
increases in violation of its Little
Steel formula, has asked economic
Stabilization Director James F..
ByrncS to decide whether it should
be revised upward.
Thus the final decision in the
coal miners case and others may
be made by ByrneS, or even preSi-

Porter said that while the ma
joiity of the nations property own
ers are scrupulously observing the
CPA rent regulations, a compara-
tive few are using the war as an
excuse for outrageous and illegal
rent increases.
This is bad enough when it af-
fectS the civilian population, but
when men who have risked their
lives in foreign seas to defend our
country are subjected to rent goug-
ing, it makes the blood of overy de-
cent American boil
I'VE serve notice on every rent
