LONDON, Nov. 26.-Sir Kenneth
Lee, an ofIicial Of the Ministry Of
Supply. probably has made one Of
the strangest reverse lease lend con-
tributions of the war.
: Shortly after returning from 4
governmental missionato the United
States, Sir Kenneth was struck and
severely injured by an American
Army ambulance.
While hospitalized, he learned an
Army claims officer had called about
speeding up settlement of any dam
ages, so he sent this message to the
claims ONCE
Please treat my injuries as a
reciprocal aid contribution from me
to the United States"

Trial Of Gen. Patton !
-
For Striking Soldier
Demanded by Bailey

"A court-martial Of 1t. Gen.. George
8. Patton, jr., for striking shell
shocked private in . Sicilian hospital
last August has been demanded by
Senator Bailey, Democrat. Of North
Carolina.
Senator said yesterday that Gen.
Patton's conduct was "inexcusable
and unpardonables. The Army
ought to act, he added, despite the
fact that Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover, commander in the Mediter-
ranesn theater, rebuked Gen. Patton
and the latter apologized to troops of
his 7th Army command. ,f'
II never heard Of a general so val
liable he, can get away with, such
conduct" Senator Bailey told re-
.porters.. II think he has lost his

been."

plane rs soon as practical after
these clouds have subsidized. The
cameras are exactly the same. The
pictures are checked against each
other in making any deductions.
The slightest variations have great
significance. It Is possible, for ex-
ample, to tell by photo taken from
20, 900 feet II soldiers have walked
over the same path through q grass
field-a fact which might have con-
siderable significance in determine
ing enemy movements. No actual
path is seen on the picture, but the
bent grass gives . different light
reflection from upright grass.
A minute variation in shade in
dicates whether q concrete road has
been in active use, as for troop
transport. The variation Is due to
oil drippings from trucks and to
the rubber from the tires adhering
to the surface. Camouflage and
photo Interpretation run each other
a close race. For some time it has
been established that no paint can
duplicate exactly the chlorypyll
green Of nature. Though the Diff
ference usually is far too minute
to be detected by the eye, 1t Is re-
vealed instantly by photos. Actual
use of green leaves for camoufiage
may make 1t hard to detect for a
few hours, but the deception is i'm
mediately apparent to the eye of
the camera once the leaves begin
to fade.
In both the Sicilian and African
campaigns bridges have been OF ex-
treme Importance. Sometimes the
destruction Of bridge may hold
up an enemy advance or retreat for
days. The air photos reveal wheth-
er bridge is worth attacking BY
showing whether the stream is shall
low and easy for the engineers to
bypass and whether its material
and construction are such that 1t
can be effectively. knocked out by
direct hits.
From what appear to be the
tinyest dots on a photo taken from
a great height the Interpretation
experts are able, to. determine. not
only the kind Of building which has,
been hit, but what It was used for
for example, whether 1t was cloth
ing factory or furniture factory.
The time has passed when it is
possible for a returning pilot to
claim any bomb hits which have
not actually been made. His
natural inclination is to exaggerate,
hut the photo tells the exact truth.

Five Listed as Dead
lin Schooner SINKING
By Coast Guard
District Skipper, 7o, Who
Survived EurIier Wreck.
Is Among Victims

Five men, including a 79-year-
old Washington ship captain and
his 74-year- old mate, were swept
to death from two lifeboats
following the sinking of an old
coastal schooner off the East
Coast a week ago, it was learned
today.
Two surviving crew members and
the body of Capt. Walter w.
Wrightson of 523 Eleventh street
NV. we're landed at Cape May,
N. j., yesterday by Coast Guards
men. Naval authorities withheld
names of the other victims and
survivors.
The story of how officers and
crew members calmly went below
for last cup Of coffee before aban-
doning their leaking craft to take
to two small lifeboats was told by
Mrs. Laura r. Painter, proprietor
Of the guest house where Capt.
Wrightson and his daughter, Miss
Ruby Wrightson, lived.
Survivors Offer Details.
Mrs. Painter accompanied Miss
Wrightson to Cape May yesterday
and talked with the two survivors,
who told of spending four nights
in a hfeboat on the rough Atlantic
and seeing their mate swept to his
death by q large wave.
Capt. Wrightson took a second
lifeboat with three crew members.
The lfeboat was found overturned
Sunday with the body of the skipper
trapped beneath it: The three men
apparently were swept clear of the
boat and were drowned, according to
Mrs. Painters story.
The schooner, which survivors said
was more than so years old, started
to leak two days out of an East
Coast port with a cargo OF paper.
The crew manned pumps, but by
Wednesday it was obvious they could
not keep ahead Of the leak. Capt.
Wrightson then decided to abandon
ship, but not until ordering coffee
for all hands, Mrs. Painter said sur
vivors told her.
Beats Are Separated.
Lifeboats were launched, pro-
visioned, then lashed together Dur
ing high seas on Friday night the
boats became separated. Some time
between then and Sunday, when the
two boats were located by Coast
Guardsmen the five men perished.
During the day Friday, the sur
vivors reported, plane dipped low
over the boats and dropped food.
Capt. Wrightson, q native OF York.
England. was shipwrecked last No
vember on his schooner in the West
Indies, and after three days in a
lifeboat was rescued, Mrs. Painter
said. The schooner he commanded
last week was owned by q New York
concern, she said.
He became so restless after the
last sinking" Mrs. Painter said,
that he decided to go to sea again."
She said that she and his daughter
tried In vain to keep him ashore

Here's an example. The average
golfer walks to the first tee, on a
440-yard hole, where ne sees par
four inscribed on the card. He knows
he can't get home in two strokes. He
is beaten before he starts. He takes
a six and his whole round is spoiled.
ION that same hole Snead, Mel
son, Hogan and others are home
with a drive and six or seven iron.
On a 5OO-yard hole, hard par five
for many players, they are home
with a drive and an iron.

Of golfers are playing against GER
tain fixed figures set for the few
stars. These figures are far out of
reach, where the 80 per cent are
concerned. Yet they keep on bat
ting against impossible situations.

named by the baseball writer's in
1896.
The following year the ranks were
swellsd by such men as Napoleon
Lajoie, iris Speaker and Cy Young.
Newcomers
In 1898 Grover Cleveland Alexan-
der was given the nod, and In 1883,
the baseball centennial year, the adj
ditions were George S:sler, Eddie
Collins and Wee Willie Keller. Later
on Lou Gehrig was named by a spe-
cial vote after his retirement from
Yankee first baseman In 1889.
Rogers Hornsby. fifth in the bal
loting of l938-39, was elected to the
immortals last year. Hornsby's case
demonstrates the difficulty attendant
to Hall of Fame election. He was
in the big leagues % years and
had a 1853 batting average. 1t
seemed he should have little trouble
in being admitted to even that au-
gust company. But he had to knock
twice before the portals opened.
Technically, the baseball writers
vote only on players who have
played in this century. But in addi-
ton to the modern stars, there is
an older group Of baseball's pio-
neers Of the 10th century enrolled
in the shrine at Cooperstown.
In baseball, as in any other
sport, II is the outstanding player
who deserves the most crest and
glory. Americans always have been
willing to honor their sports heroes
and few heroes stand higher In
INxic admiration than those Of the
baseball diamonds and few heroes
are remembered so long.
In making its selections, the Base
ball Writers association has been
exceedingly slow and careful. The
players have been given the per.
spective Of time.
From that viewpoint, Jimmy Col.
Inns qualities without reservation.
