BOARD TO OPEN
BIDS THURSDAY
Aldermen in Special Ses-
sion on Proposed $685.
600 Bond Issue

The Board Of Aldermen will hold
special meeting Thursday night at
which time bids will be opened for
the proposed $185, 900 issue of water
bonds. AUTHORIZATION for the sale
Of bonds, proceeds from which will
be used to complete the city's adj
ditional water supply projects at
Morris, was given by the Boards
of Finance and Aldermen several
weeks ago.
Originally the Board of Finance
asked the Aldermen to authorize
sale of 1925, 900 in water bonds, but
change in policy with regard to
the federal grant Of 100000 made to
the city caused the board to rescind
this vote and cut the original
amount by $4,000.
The city has already sold ST.
100000 OF water bonds In the 1941
series. The Legislature Of that
year gave the city permission to sell
$2,000000 worth, but city officials
are agreed that 1t will not be neces-
sary to sell the full amount In view
OF an anticipated $500, 900 from the
federal government; 100000 of
this amount has already been given
TO the city.

For Allied Attack
Time and Method of Offensive Has Germans Guessing;

and Bald Hill, which were taken by
the U. S. End Corps in its success
full drive on Mateur junction. Pre-
viously, the Germans had held the
two hills against many furious at
tacks by both the British and the
Americans.
The time and method OF Allied
attack has the Germans guessing
but they know it cannot be long de-
layed. The enemy usually tries to
beat us to tie punch If he can and
on this occasion Allied officers are
alert for a desperate Nazi counter
attack somewhere along the front.
If such an effort Is made-as the
Germans struck Medjez-E1-Ba on
April 21-the Allied forces intend to
levy the highest possible cost on the
enemy. The NaZis lost "a tanks and
hundreds of men on April 81 but
the will lose still more If they
counter punch now.
The American capture Of Mateur
and their drive on toward Bizerte
drew warm praise from British Of
ficers, especially since the victory
resulted from solution of a difficult
transport problem over mountain
tracks where only mules can oper-
ate.

as are the French" one British Of
ficer said. Their progress Is one OF
the most encouraging factors in this
entire operation"
There was only periodic fighting
and artillery exchanges on the Brit
ish front today (Monday) but there
was increasing evidence that the
showdown was near. The Germans,
for instance, had refused to use
italian soldiers in their main noun
tain defenses recently at any point
except above Enfidavillc, on the
coast, but now they are forced to
use them in the north.
One French column took more
than 450 prisoners from q single
italian battalion. Out Of 5000 pri-
soners taken recently, about 1000
we're Germans, however.

Many thousands Of women now
leaving their homes for business
and industry will cotinue TO work
outside the home when the war
Is over, predicts Lawrence Gould,
eminent psychologist, in his ar
ticles, "Will Women Go Back to
the Kitchen" In the Summer issue
Of the new magazine, Predictions
of Things To Come"
Something Is happening In this
war that is pregnant with the pos
sibillty of q great social change
declares Mr.. Gould. We're allow
ing-and may ultimately compel
several million women to walk
out of their homes md find n new
freedom and financial independ-
ence in gainiul employment, II
the war lasts long enough, we may
even approach the situation IN
Great Britain, where almost half
OF all able-bodied women between
IA and IS have some sort of full
time war job. And Our women
will not be mere stop-gaps
According to Manpower Dircc-
tor Paul V. McNutt, 80 per cent
of them do their work as well rs
men could, and quite a few do 1t
better
Basic Differences
Mr.. Gould believes that working
in warplant will not make wo-
men basically different than they
are now. The woman whose heart
was always In her kitchen will 90
back to 1t with Joy and relief
when the war Is over But the
one whose secret feeling always
has been that nearly anything
was better than houSework'
won't 90 back II she can help II,
now that she has found a way out.
"And I think there are more such
women than the average COM
placent male imagines," Mr. Gould
declares.
For q good many years II has
been part OF my business TO list
en- to womens grievances and
hcartaches, and / know that the
helpless female of tradition has
no fundamental basis in feminine
nature. She's an artificial pro-
duct like the oldtlme Chinese Girl
with bound feet. "I'he woinanly
girl OF romance and tradition

Mr.. Could. She's merely childish.

The nations coal miners streamed
back into the pits today, assured
of substantially higher wages by an
order OF solid fuels administrator
Harold L. Ickes placing all the gov

mediately on a six-day work week.
Virtually full production Of the
coal vitality needed in war produce
ton was assured as the diggers went
back to work in the soft and hard
coal fields under a 15-day truce in
the United Mine Workers dispute

In government seizure Of the mines.
Ascribing his order to the neces-
sity for assuring adequate supplies
Of coal, Ickes, in his directive,
pointed out that maximum coal
prices recently were increased by
the OPA to cover costs of the six
day week, in which the miners re-
ceive time and half for the sixth

Reports indicated that practically
all the miners in the soft coal fields
Of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, IL

diana and in the anthracite region
Of Pennsylvania were back on the
Job, although the Western Pennsyl-
vania Coal Operators association
said absenteeism in some mines was
a "bit high" but not enough to
materially affect operations.

ported virtually full STATS at work In

SHOTGUN EXPERT
CALLED TOSTAND
Ballistician Claims Murder
Gun Could Not Have Gone
Off Accidentally

Northampton, Mass. May 4--tUP)
The shotgun with which Rudolph
Bowler, 80, was killed as he lay in
bed was "held at n very steep angie"
and fired while pressed against his
head, ballistic's expert testified to-
day at the murder trial OF the VIC
TINS wife, Beatrice, 20.
State Police Ballistician Charles
J. Van Amburgh offered this testi-
mony as the prosecution strove 10
convince the jury that the gun could
not have gone off accidentally in
Mrs. Bouviers hands while she stood
several feet from her sleeping hus-
band at 2:3O a. m. last Dec. 8.
The Ware widow sat with head
bowed while Capt. Van Amburgh
used the death weapon to demon
strate how he believed the gun was
fired. The witness held the shot
gun almost perpendicular, with the
muzzle pressed against the seat OF
a chair.
Although double-O buckShot has
n spread OF one inch per yard rs
1t leaves the muzzle, Van Amburgh
testified, there was no pattern
around Bouviers fatal wound to
show any spread whatever.
Van Amburgh said that his
opinion that the wound resulted
from q contact shot was based Oh
the size of the wound, the lack OF
color residue around 1t, and the
general destruction Of tissue within
the head.
Asserting that the gun had 81 five
pound trigger pull, he testified that
In experiments he had struck the
butt Of the weapon on the floor and
had hit the gun with a one-pound
hammer, but that the only way he
could discharge 1t was BY pulling
the trigger.
