Battle Torn u. S. Flag Exhibited

War Department Shows CoIors Which
Flew TriumphontIy at CosobIonco

A battle-torn American flag car
ried by the first contingent of our
troops landing in Morocco during
the initial invasion of North Africa
on November 7 was being exhibited
today at the War Department.
1t was forwarded to Washington
for preservation as war momento
by Maj. Gen. George S. Patton, jr,
and is stained and torn from it's

attack on Casablanca
The color, which is of regimental
size, is now being displayed in
case at the Pentagon Building.
Later it will be sent to the United
States Military Academy, where it
will be preserved among the battle
flags of other wars
This same color, Gen. Patton in
formed the War Department.. also
was borne by Col (now Brig. GEM
William Hale Wilbur, on his daring
16-mile ride from Fedala to Casa
blanca to deliver letters to French
high commanders in the hope that
hostilities might be averted. For
this feat Col. Wilbur was promoted
and awarded the Congressional
Medal Of Honor.
The color went ashore flying. Gen.
Patton reported. with the first wave
of troops to enter Fadala Bay. Dur
ing the early morning movement to
shore, the landing boat on which
the color was carried was spotted bv
French corvette and Illuminated
by its searchlight. Immediately the
boat was raked with machine gun
fire from the mouth of the harbor.
1t was the first fire of the action
at Fedala.

color ashore, they lashed it to

|German Squadron
AT 1rondheim May
60 on Raiding Foray
British Ships Keeping
Close Watch Trying
To Anticipate Moves
By VICTOR GORDON LENNON

Fo1eign Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News
LONDON, March 4.-For MANY
weeks Britain has been watching
the disposition of the German fleets
units with a view to anticipating
Its next moves. Recent indications
suggest that a substantial German
squadron, which has been concen-
tratlng at Trondheim. Norway, may
now be preparing to put to sea for
surface ralding.
These squadrons are believed to
include: One pocket battleship, the
apprenticeship Tirpitz, probably
the 26,O00-ton battleship Scharn-
horst, two powerful Hipper class
cruisers, possibly the new aircraft
carrier Graf Zeppelin and a GER
tain number of escorting destroyers.
The last time ships from this
squadron put to sea was on Decem-
her 81 when they encountered and
attacked a Russian bound convoy
escorted by British deStroyerS. The
enemy then sent out one pocket
battleShlp. one heavy cruiser and
a number of deStroYerS. Vastly out
matched, the British destroyer force
closed for action and routed the
enemy. sinking one destroyer and
damaging a cruiser. But the enemy
broke off action as heavier British
forces, hastily summoned, arrived
on the scene. Just month later.
Hitler dismissed his supreme naval
commander. Admiral Erich Raeder.
and appointed instead the subma-
rlne specialist. Admiral Karl Doe
metz.
1t was considered here that Hitler
was furious because the surface navy
seemed inspired with greater de-
sire to preserve the ships intact
than to risk losses by aggressive
actions. Certainly British sailors
have been surprised by the lack of
initiative shown by the German
Navy. considering that if the Royal
Navy was similarly situated, Russia
bound conveys sailing by the Arctic
route would not ever reach their
ports.
Technical students considered the
German concentration on U-bOat
construction had led to neglect of
destroyer building: hence. the naval
command found its heavy surface
ships immobilized by lack of light
escorterS.
Whatever Hitler's reasoning, It
seemed certain that Admira.
Doenetz was installed because he is
2 ruthless killer. not counting losses
if he can destroy the enemy's sea-
borne transport.
Recognizing the gravest anti-Ger-
man menace from Russia, and CAL
culating that the Anglo American
ability to maintain the existing
second front in North Africa Or to
open up third front in Western
Europe is governed by the avail
ability Of shipping, Hitler is. GER
talnly banking most heavily on his
sea marauders. Anyway, the pres
ence of the Trondheim squadron
has immobilized important ele-
ments of the British War Fleet,
which must be kept in northern
waters ready to join battle if
Ooenetz tries to slip out surface
squadron under cover of spring
mists.

Behind movie headlines:
After years of grumbling over the
ridiculous manner in which law
yers have been portrayed in the
movies, bar associations throughout
the country are preparing a series
OF protests to be directed to the
Hays office.
They will insist that Hollywood
stop picturing the lawyer as cheat
and conniver They also want the
conduct of ceiloloid judges lifted to
a more dignif1ed plane.
The Michigan Bar Association,
with a membership of 5000 prac-
ticing attorneys, took the lead in
the antiridicule campaign this week
by forwarding to Joseph I. Breen,
custodian of scripts and morals for
the Hays office, a complaint in
which specific abuses were cited.
I'VE feel that too often the film
industry has subjected the legal
profession to ridicule or contempt
merely for the sake of gag or sit
uation," the lawyers wrote. I'VE
realize that often it is the gag or
situation in a movie which helps
make it popular, but we feel that
to feed the public collection of
gags and situations which make
picture popular at the expense of
that great majority of the legal pro-
feSSion who are decent. honest and
respectable is distinctly unfair"
The complaint cited The Meanest
Man in the World" recent Jack
Benny comedy: "Roxie Hart" star
ring Ginger Rogers, and The Devil
and Miss Jones'" starring Jean Ar
thur, as outstanding offenders in
portraying lawyers as "pettifogging
buffoons.'
