N~~@@N~-~N-~~ at the Sioux Falls technical school of the Army Air Forces Training Command when she met her death. The street near whcih she was found was on the direct route to her apartment.
 Brush Not TrampIed
 Although the area between the sidewalk and the spot where the body was found is thick with under brush and trees. the slain girls clothing was not torn and the un- derbrush was not trampled. This irl- dicated that she either walked or was carried to the little clearing where she was killed.
 In the clearing leaves had been kicked and small bushes trampled. indicating she put up a desperate struggle. There were scratches on her right hand and bruise on one leg.
 Authorities said they were without a clue to the identity of the slayer. Although it did not appear the lieu tenant had been criminally assault ed. officials planned to make tests.
 The nearest house is nearly a block away, and residents of the area did not hear screams or other noises.
 Her body was found last night by a l0-year-old girl taking 8 short cut to her home.

 Southworth said that the Coop CTS would fly to Independence after tomorrow's game to attend the funeral. The teams will bc travelling Friday and Saturday, so the Coop CTS will miss no games either at Yankee Stadium or Sportsmans Park St. Louis where as many of the final four games necessary to de- eide the championship will be play ed.
 The death of the elder Cooper was the third time that death had touched a player in the world series and the second time for Cardinal.
 On the eve of the 1926 world series, Rogers Hornsby's mother died but the manager of the Cardinal club player through the entire seven games and led the Cards to the title.
 Tn l940, when Detroit lost the series to Cincinnati, the father of Louis (Bobo) Newsom, Tiger ace pitcher, died the night before he was to pitch the seventh and de- ciding game. Newsom pitched his heart out and nearly won after hav- ing defeated the Reds twice in the series.

 Reports reaching Ankara said that the British seized Stampalia, 26 miles west of Cos, several days ago In surprise landing that outfianked both Crete, 90 miles Co the south- west, and Rhodes, 90 miles to the southeast. Athens is ITO miles north west of stampalia.
 Ankara also heard that Q cruiser and two destroyers, presumably take on over from the Italians in Greek ports, aided the final German one slaught against Cos with occupation being completed yesterday except for Enopplng-up operations.
 British planes occupied Cos two weeks ago and with the cooperation of the Italian garrison iInmeditely began to use the airfields for attacks on the NaM Bastlons cf Crete end Rhodes, possibly to soften them for an Allied thrust through the Aeg- cans into the Balkans.
 Serving notice of their intention to wipe out the wedge in their south- eastern European defenseS, German seq and air-borne troops landed on Cos Sunday and Q Naxl cornmuni- que yesterday claimed that resist ance had been broken with the cap- ture of 600 British and 2,600 ItaliaN troops, along with % guns, a planes and Q ship.
 Ankara dispatches reporting the German occupation of Leros, 26 miles north of Cos and also occupied by the British in the confusion that followed 1taly's surrender to the Al- lies, gave no details. The British garrison was not believed large.
 An exchange telegraph dispatch from Ankara told of the purported Nazi landing on the Greek island of Samos, 60 miles north of Cos and the third of the Aegean Islands seized by the British last month. The Germans were said to have occupied important positions on Samos and engaged British and Italian troops.

NOOuCu1uSQ 1EOm EaRO kl tween Haskell and Hanley will be- come substantially a whooping sum. mons to support-t the President by by the former and to suport-the- Governor by the latter.
 The prestige of either Dewey or MT. Roosevelt might be damaged considerably by an overwhelmingly adverse vote for their respective candidates next month. The third man in the ring is Farley, former chairman of the Democratic Ma tional Committee, who resigned that job rather than manage MT. Roose- velt's third term campaign.
 Farley is giving Haskell all out support and expects to be on friend " and close political terms with him if he wins. But if Haskell loses, Farley will not be hurt much, If any. If Haskell lost by Q biz, fat margin MT. Roosevelt's prestige would suffer and that would not displease Farley who is counted 0 major factor in the Democratic plan to prevent MT. Roosevelt's election to Q fourth term.
 Election of Hanley by c big ma Jority would further boost Dewey's l944 Republican presidential stock since 1t inevitably would be inter- preted in some degree as a reflection of the governors standing with New York voters. If the returns could be construed to mean that Dewey had a good chance to defeat MT. Roosevelt in New York state If both were nominated for president next year, Dewey Republicans would have an impressive argument to present to the Republican national convention.

 dealers association will institute ac- tion contesting the constitutionality of the law. He stated the act im- posed so much book work on deal- CTS that they have been unable to understand or keep up with the reg ulations. "T.he dealers know how to feed the COWS but they can't keep up the books" the lawyer stated, referring to the vast amount of pa- per work required by the milk laws.
 MT. Tosun was said to have paid seven and a half cents per quart of milk whereas eight and a half cents was the legal price ana that which he registered in Hartford. His counsel pointed out the dealer was allowed to make certain deductions by law and that the price he paid was actu- ally a better price than generally prevails here.
 MT. Tosun has an excellent repu- tation in the community and is a leader of the Mohammedan religion, his lawyer told the court, referring to the unfairness of bringing him to court on the charges.
 Already filed in the court is @ de- murrer by the dealer who claims the milk laws are illegal because they are @ restraint to the right to contract and Impose an unjust burden or the producer by requiring him tc keep detailed records. MT. Lawlor al. SO has filed plea in bar" and ( motion to strike out the allegations in the complaint because theJ charge the dealer with violating al order of the milk administrator rather than a law.
 MT. Lawlor pointed out that the milk administration fixes not only prices of milk but also fixes charges or carryng the product to town and deductions for wear and tear oi cans and bottles. The thorough con- trol was described as illegal inter. ference with individual freedom oi action.
 Attention was called to the two per cent tax required Elthly by the state and the two cent deduc- per 100 pounds of milk ordered from the legal price.
 Today's imposition of the mini. mum sentence possible under the charge Is expected to be used as c weapon by the dealers in their fight gaainst the continuation of the pre-. sent milk laws. MT. Lawlor stated the problem will be brought before the attorney general of the state of Connecticut and court interpreta- tion on the laws may be sought.

along the Biferno river, which springs from the foothills of the nearby mountains. The fact that the communicate referred to fierce fighting meant that Montgonery's army had gone into full scale action having ct last encountered the main strength of the enemy along the east coast.
 The retreatlng Germans were talk. ing with them everything on wheels bicycles, and even perambulators ito carry their loot and supplies.
 The landing Ternloli now is re- vealed to have taken the Germans by surprise so completely that a Major Rau, commander of @ battle group along the Adriatic, was cap- tured in his bed. The men of the Eighth also found documents in- structing the Germans to carry out @ complete scorched earth policy.
 The stubbornest opposition was reported near Termoli on the east coast, where a conmunique said the British Eighth Army was locked in ''heavy fighting" with the Germans for the first time since they in vaded the Calabrian Peninsula 800 miles to the south nearly month ago.
 The communique reported that the Fifth Army had run into in. creased demolitions, craters and mines above Naples, though 1t con- tinued to make progress.
 "The bringing forward of reserves and the repair of bridges IS pro- ceeding rapidly" the communique said.
 Heavy bombers from the north. west African air forces carried the offensive to the big industrial city of Bologna in North-C Central Italy, blasting railway tracks and an oil depot and touching of large eX- plosions in the face of strong op" position.
 Medium bombers attacked high. ways and bridges at Formia, 1sernia and Mignano behind the front in an attempt to break up enemy troop concentrations and sever sup- ply lines, while fighters and fighter bombers hit motor transport and trains in the battle area.
 Fifteen German planes were shot down and six Allied aircraft were lost in daylight operations. Night bombers attacked the German air field at Grosseto, 90 miles northwest of Rome.
 The Eighth Army was engaging the Germans west of Termili and along the general line of the Biferno rilver, which empties into the Adri- atic just south of TermoN.
 Front dispatches said the Ger. mans in this area apparently had halted their retreat and were fight ing along practically the whole length of the Eighth Army line, which runs southwest of Termoh into the interior.
 Though there has tbeen no major battle, dispatches said there was plenty of evidence that the Ger mans were concerned over the prog ress of the Eighth Army, which has reached @ point about 130 miles east and slightly north of Rome.

 another, battle, "The fight to re- adjust our lives after the war is Won."
 Comparing the experience of the trade union movement during World War I and World War II, he noted that the letdown in industrial op. portunity and national morale which followed the last war was Q dark page in our history.
 T must recall with sadness" he said, "the industrial disputes of 1919 in which negro soldiers and their families suffered at the hands ot their former brothers in arms"
 Rev. Haas expressed hope that Americans have learned from "this sad experience" and would prevent recurrence.
 Presidential Daniel J. Tobin of the International Brotherhood of Teansters, Chauffeur, Helpers & Warehousemen, in response to a question said he was opposed to the New York milk strike.
 "It is illegal and we have not endorsed it," he said.
 A.major issue facing he conven- ton was e proposal for abolition or at least modification of the lit- tie steel formula.
 A resolution, encompassing the proposal, was submitted to the fed- eration's resolutions committee. It contended that unless the price line is held, the formula must be scrap- ped. The little steel formula re- stricted wage increases to IS per cent of the January, 194l, level.
 The ao.ion came after President Roosevelt sent message to the con- vention in which he anticipated a good deal of success in the rollback of prices. AFL President William Green said that he and ilis members would stand with the President in the fight.
