the exact wording but Walter says
casually to Greer that they seem to

Assault Trial Of Saunders
MAY Go 10 jury Mondav

The case OF Leonard A. Saunders,
Al, who yesterday in District Court
denied Government charges that he
criminally assaulted a 17-year -old
restaurant waitress on January %,
probably will be placed in the hands
OF a jury of eight women and four
men Monday.
Saunders, former dishwasher at
the Connecticut avenue restaurant
where the girl worked, Is accused of
hiding in the corner of the vestibule
of rooming house in the 1900 block
of Nineteenth street and criminally
assaulting her.
Basing his defense on a frame
work of mistaken identity, Saunders
told the jury yesterday that he did
not lay hands on the girl, that he
never made an assault on her and
that he did not leave the restaurant
on the evening of the alleged as
sault. He charged police investiga-
tors with brutality in the investiga-
ton of his case.
United States Attorney Edward M
Curran entered the case on the
cross examination of the defendant.
1t was in answer to Mr. Curran's S
| questions that Saunders testified
that police hit him.
The Government is asking for the
death penalty for Saunders.

With communications broken down,
the command came to abandon
ship.
THE men moved from the gun
stations to the boats in very orderly
fashion and two boats were lowered
away" related 1t. Butcher, who was
the only colored man aboard the
vessel. Both had got clear of the
ship when suddenly Capt. H. N.
Sorenson, who was in my boat, went
overheard. He had seen a sailor
who was unable to get away from
under the stern of the ship. He
brought him back and we got away
from the ship as fast as we could"
1t. Butcher said the submarine
came to the surface and the Ger
man officers asked the men in the
life boats to identify their captain.
The men told the Germans that the
captain had gone down with the
ship and finally the U-boat left.
"As it left" 1t. Butcher related,
zone thing happened that surprised
us very much-the crew, not the
officers, clasped hands above their
heads in the good old American
good luck sign"
The life boats became separted,
but thanks to Capt. Sorenson's
knowledge of navigation, 1t. Butch
er's boat finally landed on an island
in the Caribbean nine and a half
days later.

Miss Corio, disappointingly to
prospective publishers, took a con-
structive attitude on the whole sub
ject. Instead of a treatise confirm
ing an au-too-general judgment of
males, Miss Corio wrote an analysis.
or Interpretation, Of burlesque. She
wrote to create more favorable
general attitude toward an enter
tainment form which has been sui
lied by crafty entrepreneurs who
thought of it not as art, but as COM
merce.
The result has been a collision of
the same kind in the literary field,
where men, gentlemen and others,
unlike Miss Corio, think of dollars
more than truth and, sometimes,
even beauty.
That is where things stand at the
moment. Instead of pouting in
bitter disillusionment, Miss Corio is
going ahead with a movie career,
which promises her release from
both burlesque and literature.

in writing it. An admirably honest
and practical woman, Miss Corio
was and is, and her book was some
thing to talk about. That is more
than you can say about the books
planned by a great many people.
The title was arreSting. Men,
Gentlemen and Others" Miss Corio
had decided to call it. AS a young
woman who lived considerably less
than sheltered life, great many
were brought within the scope of
q title like that. To meet Miss
Corio,. indeed, was to come within
her literary range and perhaps to
live in state of suppressed excite
ment as to what her eventual esti-
mate of the meeting might be. Was
one a man in her view, a gentle
man, or just an other? Who was
what, taking a strictly impersonal
view of the thing?
From the standpoint of pure criti-
cism, Miss Corio clearly had a book
of more than academic interest deal
Ing with one of the two most i'm
portant sexes.
Under the stress ct circumstances
less happy than when Miss Corio
called regularly in Washington, the
book may have been forgotten by
many here.
It probably should be recorded,
therefore, that it was not forgotten
by Miss Corio. She wrote it, just
as she said she would. 1t is now in
final script form and has even been
around to the publishing houses.
Like many another book, how
ever, it has not been published, and
even Miss Corio, an optimistic per-
son, is dubious that it ever will be.
Publishers seem to have had
different idea about the book from
that of the author. From the title,
where else, they deduced that Miss
Corio was a writer who would turn
out TO be the mistress of the expose,
an actress who would have some
terse things to say Of men, gentle
men and others which the whole

BOMBERS SHORTEN WAR
NeU0da State Journal

More detailed accounts of the Ameri-
can attack upon the Ploesti oil area of
Rumania disclosed that Hitler made a
desperate effort to break up the bomber
formations before they could shatter the
installations and failed. The Liberators
left wreck and ruin behind them.
In his talk to bomber crews before they
left their base in North Africa, Col. John
Kane, the leader, is reported to have
said "It would take an army of the size
and strength of the Eighth Army year
ago to fight its way up to this target
We are going to do it with 1000 men. If
we are 100 per cent successful, the war
in Europe may be over by Christmas.
Certainly no group of warriors ever
had more incentive to carry out mission
than those 1000 American fliers The
destruction of an area vital to Hitler's
continued war making and the promise
of an earlier peace than could otherwise
be hoped for combined to stimulate the
bomber crews to their best efforts in a
round-trip flight of more than 1000
miles.
Colonel Kanes theory of shortening
the war through destruction of vital tar
gets reflects the tip top morale of Amer-
can air forces. They are convinced that
their offensive activities are breaking up
the enemy's resistance and that infantry
forces can make the final drive much
earlier and much more easily than had
been hoped for.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Unless there is some reason why
she has to live in a city, a war wife
with a child or two is much better
off if she picks small town Tor
her duration home.
Friends are easier made in a
small town than in a large city.
The folks who live next door in a
small town are usually neighbors,
in the real sense of the word. And
knowing a good percentage of the
people she sees on the street gives
a woman alone a sense OF really
being a part of her community.
Life isn't nearly SO pleasant for
the woman who has child but no
husband to look after her, if she
lives in a large City-where people
are impersonal, and most of the
people she sees in the course of a
day are strangers.
And the very aloneneSs of war
wife living in a large city can
have tragic results.
In New York the other day the
wife of q soldier living alone with
her four -months-old baby died OF
a heart attack, and by the time
her body was found her baby had
died of starvation
