Germany, where she was success
Sively a resident Of ive different
prisons. In this book she tells the
story Of her Serbian incarceration
and of the events which led up to
fer arrest. 1t is a horror tale, though
not unadorned.
Beginning with the year 1898,
Miss Mitchell relates how, on a
casual trip through the Balkans,
She acquired a love of the Serbian
people SO strong that she was ready
to spend the rest of her life among
them. She met the old Chetnik
leader, Kosta Pechanats, who, en-
Unused by her attachment to his
land, initiated her into the guer-
rilla organization. The ceremony,
as she describes it, will strike
reader as having somewhat the
quality Of the acceptance of white
notableS into American Indian
tribes, but Miss Mitchell assures us
that 1t was deadly serious. From
that time on, she reiterates. her
life belonged to her no longer, but
w oCi Uld. "Ilcll IIlC wal UIokc
out, she marched in Chetnik
parade, then received orders to join
Mikhailovich. But the Germans
caught her before she could comply
So her service to the Chetniks was
somewhat limited, but her inten-
tions, one realizes, were tremendous.
This personal history part Of the
book is cast in tone of hysteria
and fervor which seems all out OF
proportion to its Importance. When
Miss Mitchell writes of the things
she saw in Serbia under the Ger
mans, however. the account more
than balances the explanatory ma
ture OF her tale of her own adven-
lures.
If one can separate the bombast
from the facts, the book may be
regarded as useful addition to
contemporary works on the Balkan

PHILADELPHIA, March %
If the 80 tallest girls In Phila-
dclphia were p e d side by
side, they'd call a meeting of the
Tower Club.
The lofty ladies - all of them
topping feet without shoes -
have organized to do something
collectively about their trials
and problems. Being tall is an
advantage while watching a pa
rade 60 by, but there are few
other compensation for a Wom-
an. They have difficulty buying
clothes and meeting still taller
men. Also TIE Tower Club mem
bers agree that something has
got to be done about squelch-
ing the cliche-fanciers who are
always inquiring: "How's the
weather up there"
1t all started when Nancy
Dickerson. who looms 6 feet, 3
inches behind a center city ci-
car counter, struck up a lunch
con acquaintance with two 9TH
err girls - Marion Strong, who
also st a n d S 6:3, and Peggy
Blounts, a mere 81 u.
Their common bond was alti-
tude and their troubles were
just as great as their stature.
The city dress shops never came
even close to fitting them. Shoes
and stockings, too, usually had
to be ordered from New York
or somewhere.
Through concerted action, the
80-odd members now have per-
suaded three department stores
to put in stocks of longer sizes.
What this "high society" seeks
next is more room for their
knees in movie houses, more
comfortable beds in hotels, more
height to wall mirrors to elm
mate contortion when applying
makeup, roomier taxicabs, larg-
er telephone booths, end even
bigger bathtubs.
The Tower Club is Still in its
infancy. but all its members are
of what you might call long
standing. There is no deviation
from the rule that a girl must
be at least 6 feet tall In her n.y.
Ions to be eligible. The topper
is Norma Volgaar, a nurse at
jefferson Hospital. who is 6 feet,
5la inches. At the short end Of
the list is 6-foot Helen Thomp-
son, employed by photo stu
do. Practically midget.
Not overlooked by the Tow
er Club is the need of towering
boy-friends. Once month there
is a dance, party or some other
social function so the girls can

Axis Blares
Forth New
Tokyo Accord
BY The Associated Press

The Berlin and Tokyo radios
announced with enthusiasm last
night completion of conferences
in Tokyo by representatives Of
Germany, Japan and Italy at
which, il was said, complete
agreement had been reached on
creation of a new world order
based on justice and guarantee
ing eternal world peace"
The broadcasts were recorded
by the Associated Press.
While Premier Hideki TOTO
was reported to have participat-
ed in the talks, the absence OF
any special ENJOYS from the
European Axis powers made 1t
appear that little more than rou-
tine diplomatic exchange actual
ly had taken place.
DIPLOMACY BOILS
At the same time Axis and
neutral sources indicated the
diplomatic pot was boiling in
Europe, where German and Ital-
ian committees were working
out details of a German draft on
ItalyS manpoWer and Premier
Mussolini was reported to have
summoned Vichy chief-of-gov-
eminent Pierre Laval to con-
ference on strained relations
between their two countries.
At the Tokyo conference, Said
the Berlin radio, quoting "a
Tokyo communique, were Japa-
nese Foreign Minister Masayuki
1ani, Navy Minister Shigetaro
Shimada, German Ambassador
Heinrich Georg Stammer and
Italian Ambassador Mario In
deli.
A Domei report of the meet
ing said:
"Ob serve rs contrasted the
close harmony of the Axis aims
for creation of a new world or
der and humiliation of their
mutual foes, the United States
and Great Britain, with the
vagueness of the war aims and
constant clashing of interest be-
tween the United States and
Britain"
PROMISE ITALIAN KEEP
The Berlin radio reported Ger
man and Italian committees had
agreed Italy will send to the
Reich a big contingent of skilled
workers for particularly impor-
tant' German war factories, and
declared "a large number" of
Italian farm laborerS would be
sent to the Reich this summer.
In return, the broadcast said,
Germany has sent considerable
quantities of agricultural prod
ucts, particularly potatoes" to
Italy this winter, and has agreed
to the return to Italy of workers
in secondary plants shut down
by Germany's new total mobili-
cation plan.
Reports to neutral Bern, not
confirmed elsewhere, declared
Mussolini hao. sought his meet
ing with Laval in anticipation
that the substitution of large
numbers Of Italian troops for
Germans in France, as the latter
were drawn off into the Russian
uggle, might precipitate
trouble between the two coun-
tries.
Hitler was reported to have
demanded the use of % Italian
divisions in France and the Bal
kanS.
Meantime dispatches to Swiss
papers continued to indicate
seething unrest and open revolt
in France as Hitler's govern
ment attempted to enforce its
draft of French labor.

COAST CUARDSMEN# HELP TAKE CANAL
One Member UndergOes ll2 Bombings Before Be.
 ing Stricken With Fever

Boston, Jan. 26.-(UP)-Coast guardsmen, whose prosaic peacetirne duties consist chiefly of rescuing amateur mariners and watching for icebergs, pitched in with the U. s. marines to help take Guadalcanal.
 That's the story told today by Warrant Officer James D. Fox, a 29-year old Uniontow1l, Penn, resi- dent, who underwent 112 bolnbings, 30 shellings and countless stafings at the hands of the Japat1ese while helping land defenders on the southern Pacific hotSpot.
 Fox said coast guardsmen manned heavy land ~artilelry and plugged gaps in the infantry lines during one stage of the campaign.
 T saw hundreds of Jap planes brought down." he said, "but I never saw one brought down in one piece they all exploded in mid air"
 Although he lost 38 pounds and was hospitalized three weeks after being stricken with malaria during his 9O-day stay on the island, Fox said, "I'nn ready to go back-if and when they need me-"

SCOVILL COMPANY PLANS OUTLINED
New Building to House Personnel, Employment

The employment office, personnel department and other related de- partments of the Scovill Manufac- turing Company will be housed un- der a single roof in building run ming diagonally between East Main and Mill streets, the company has announced. The announcement confirms an article in Saturdays Democrat, which also disclosed that Scovill's is working on plans for a huge new casting shop at Hamil- ton avenue and Silver street.
 Announcement of the new preson- mel building was made Sunday night over Station VERY by Alan Cur tiss, director of employe relations for the company. He said that the War Production Board had given the company permission to proceed with building operations.
 Under the plans, the hospital will be remodelled and enlarged, and all employment and personnel d. visions will be centralized to a far greater degree than they are at present.
 Moving of the employment office from its present location in a frame building on Union street will leave that area available for other com pany purposes. It is believed that the old building will be torn down, and that either small new build ing be erected there or the site used for the purpose of enlarging a parking lot which now adjoins the structure.

Once you get the hang of it it's not hard to tell the difference be- tween ratioped and vrirationed stoves.
 The State OPA claims many po- tential buyers still seem to be in the dark about the fact that stoves now being rationed, are those that burn oil and coal. Y
 Stoves purchaseable without 8 ra- tioning certificate from a local OPA board are those that burn wood.
 To obtain certificate to buy either rationed variety all that is required of you E your name, ad-' dress, and reasonable proof that you actually need a share of the avail able supply of stoves now on sale in Connecticut, the OPA indicates.
 A desire to substitute a coal stove for an oil stove, g need of a heating stove to, heat essential living or working space at present devoid of heating equipment, or the fact that your current apparatus is on its last legs are sufHcient to establish eligibility for 8 purchase certificate for coal stove, the OPA says.
 But if you want an uil-burner-- and who does?-you first must prove the stove is needed to replace ir- reparably damaged equipment for heating essential living or working space and then, squeeze your case into one of the following classes:
 1. The space to be heated is Q trailer. UtG
 ?. There is no coal or coal-bItrn- ing equipment available.
 3. No member, of the household is physically able to operate a. coal stove.
 {. There is no fiue, chimney or other provision for venting a coal burner. .M
 As for unrationed ,stoves--the small sheet-metal woodburners-the OPA says there are thousands of
