Two Men Held in Sale
Of Stolen Bed Linen

Two men whom the FBI said were
trying to sell stolen sheets and pillow
cases to Georgetown merchants on
Tuesday were given a preliminary
hearing yesterday before United
States Commissioner Needham C.
Turnage on a charge of conspiring
to steal goods from an interstate
shipment.
The two men, James Motley, Is,
of Lands, N. c., and James Fesper-
man, %, of the 2400 block of Penn
sylvania avenue NV, pleaded not
guilty and were held in $1,000 bond
each.
Motley, truck driver for North
Carolina concern, who was on his
way to Philadelphia with a truck
load of goods, stopped in Washing
ton to look up Fesperman, whom he
had known in North Carolina, &C
cording to the FBI. After having
few drinks, the FBI said, the two
men went to Georgetown and at

pillow cases in the truck Motley
was driving. The two men were
caught by police after a merchant
became curious about the goods
and asked the police to investigate.

to hear the news. He disappeared
into the building. A few minutes
later he came out, and started to

Sees Raft with Flyers.
Capt. Berkow said that the time
waiting for news from his wife,
the former Lilly Miller of 2036 Park
place NV, was the most trying
experience he had ever had. The
most gratifying was on a routine
flight when he spied rubber raft
with three flyers on it.

green of the vast ocean and swooped
down. They were apparently flyers
who had had to bail out from their
plane. learned later they had been

The 25-year- captain said the
Army and Navy will go to any
length and to all kinds of trouble to
rescue their pilots and that is one
reason why the morale of the men
is so high. The pilots also receive
everything they could reasonably
expect in combat zone. That, plus
American ingenuity, makes even
bad places livable. One example of
Yankee fexibility was displayed by
a chef who devised AZ ways of max
ing canned pressed ham, Even
if he invents 10 more ways to make
it, there isn't a soldier out there
who will ever eat it once he gets
back to the United States" the local
pilot declared.
Entered Business.
Capt. Berkow was determined to
enter the air forces even before
he graduated from Central High
School in 1885. However, he entered
his fathers tailoring business first,
managing the branch store at Til
King street, Alexandria. Va. He
then became. with his father,
Maurice, and younger brother,
Sergt. Bernard Berkow, a member
of the Old Dominion Boat Club in
Alexandria, Va, winning the club
bowling championship in 1899.
During the same year, Capt. Ber-

kow tried to get into the air forces
but failed the eye test because of
eagerness and nervousness. A year
later, in October, he passed the phys
ical. Since he wasn't a college man
he had to pass a mental test. For
two months he attended day and
night sessions Of Emerson Institute
here, finally passing the test in
November. After training as cadet
flyer at Lakeland, Fla, he took basic
training at Gunter Field, Ala, and
then earned his wings as a second
lieutenant at Craig Field Ala.
