Takes Stand
Will Tell of
Porty on Yacht

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 25-(P)
"A seaman aboard screen actor
Enrol Flynn's yacht was among
witnesses summond to testify
today as the actor launched his
defense against three counts of
statutory rape.
Jerry Giesler, Flynn's attor-
ney, declared the actor himself
will take the stand to offer ca
tegerieal denial of charges made
by two 'teen-age girls, but said
Flynn's testimony probably will
not be taken until Tuesday or
Wednesday. The trial has been
in recess since the prosecution
completed its case Friday after
noon.
Herbert Oliver, now a corporal
in the Army, was the seaman
scheduled to appear as the first
defense witness. 1t was aboard
the yacht Sirocco that Peggy
LaRue Satterlee, night club en-
tertainer who says she is only
16, charges that she was twice
raped by Flynn in August. l941.
Among others Giesler said he
expected to call as witnesses is
Frederick McEvoy, former Bri-
fish bobsled racer, at whose Bel
Air home 17-year-old Betty
Hansen charges she was raped
by Flynn last September.
Giesler said 1--WE will deny the
charges right down the line,
and Flynn, who declared he
wanted to tell his story before
the grand jury when investiga-
ton of the case was begun but
was advised not to, has announc-
ed he intends to be frank and
personal" on the witness stand.

White Bread
Is Abundant
No Restrictions
on Output Likely
BY WILLIAM FERRIS

CHICAGO, Jan. Is (P) -
One of the startling changes in
food in this war as compared
with that of 1918, grain and
flour sources asserted today, is
the abundance of white bread. 1t
was not that way back in the
days of the first World War.
Wheat was scarce 25 years ago
and "ersatz" bread (they called
it "war bread or victory
bread") was a well-known, if
not popular, food. Millers said
many people got out of the habit
of eating bread during that pc
riod and, even when white
bread returned, there was a
gradual falling off in consump-
ton for a number of years.
Bread eating was tied down in
regulations, although there was
official rationing at the consum-
er level. Millers were prohibit
ed from shipping into any ter
ritory more than 20 per cent of
the amount of wheat flour they
shipped into the same territory
during the corresponding period
Of the preceding year. Meat
packers of today will recognize
that one).
Another restriction provided
that wholesalers and retailers
could not sell wheat flour except
when it was accompanied by a
certain percentage of substitutes
to the same customer.
These substitutes n c ! u d d
corn meal, corn flour, edible
corn starch, hominy, corn grits,
barley flour, potato flour, oat-
meal. soybean flour, rice flour.
buckwheat flour, sweet potato
flour and rolled oats. These
went into the making of "vic-
tory bread"
Z n u m ers encountered
"wheatless days" each Monday
and Wednesday, when no white
bread containing 20 per cent of
wheat could be eaten. Each con-
sumner was also asked to observe
one meal each day as an abso-
lutely wheatless meal, excluding
all bread Except corn bread) !.
cakes, pasty, pies. macaroni,
spaghetti, wheat cereals and
similar products.
Today, grain men said, the
country is surfeited with wheat
and there is no possibility of
such restrictions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-(P
There are more "powarps
than armchair strategists around
Washington these days.
"Powarps" is newly coined
word applying to postwar plan,
ners. They are both in and out
of the government and their
problem Is:
How to make better America
fit into a better world after the
war.
A survey disclosed today that
more than 100 specialists are
engaged in such studies in q
score Of government agencies.
Their researches into how to
cushion the after-effects of the
war and to make future wars
less likely are proceeding stimuli
taneously with plans on how to
end the current conflict.
NO WAITING
No waiting this time. Ameri-
ca Is preparing for the peace
perhaps as thoroughly or more
so than she did for the war.
When this mess Is over the pres
ident and congress are going to
have before them more blue
prints and formulas for charting
the future than could be read by
one person in six months.
While numerous headaches
are in store Immediately the war
IL over, many government Off
Gals agree with private experts
that a postwar depression can
be avoided.
III appropriate action is taken
there Is no necessity for a post
war collapse" says the national
resources planning board in one
Of its voluminous reports. The
board not only makes independ-
ent studies of domestic postwar
questions but also correlates
those Of other federal agencies.
NOT PESSIMISTIC
Secretary Wickard says the
agriculture department does not
share the pessimism that a Sc
we're economic situation is inevi-
table after the war.
1--WE believe" he says, "the
country need never 60 through
a major economic depression
again. We visualize a postwar
world in which we will make
full use Of our manpower and
our resources for the benefit of
the American people"
A similarly optimistic view
was expressed by Vice President
Wallace yesterday in an inter-
view in which he envisioned
postwar America as one "where
all can become members of the
middle class-where all can
share in the benefits which that
class has enjoyed in the past"
HORATIO NOT DEAD
Asserting that "Horatio Al
ger is not dead in America and
never will be-" Wallace said:
1--WE can have full employ
ment in this country without
destroying private initiative, pri-
vate capital, or private enter
prise"

proposes that the 40 hour week

ministrators in the war depart

The same attitude, he said,

that arrangements refusal to
bargain honestly with labor
since labor gave up the right to
strike" was the chief cause of
wildcat strikes.
On Saturday Murray and R. j.
Thomas, president of the Clio
United Auto Workers, criticized
as "regrettable' and misinform-
ed comments made by Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker here Friday
night on labor's role in war pro-
duction.
DIFFERS WITH RICK
Rickenbacker said that "if you
could understand what our boys
are doing in the hell holes
throughout the world that our
way of life may be preserved,
you would not worry about eight
hours a day, overtime or double
time" and proposed congression-
al action to provide returning
service men after the war with
employment without having to
join any organized labor uni
ons."
Murray commented that it
was "regrettable' that Ricken-
hacker should permit himself to
become involved in discussions
about matters with which he is
either misinformed or does not
understand"
Thomas expressed belief that
Rickenbacker received "misin-
formation" from manufacturing
groups, and differed with the
captain on the causes of work
ers' absenteeism.
