When jake is sober he is an ordinary boy

magnificent. His otherwise dragging magma
ton suddenly sprouts ball bearings which

Irresistible is the word for jake when he is
IN his cups, and who should know better than
this little girl who married Mrs Webbs bad
little boy jake?
Imagine my lack Of surprise, therefore
when recently picked up my newspapers and
learned that Jake the Slipper" had slipped
out Of the Army again.
Here is quick summation Of the facts the
papers kept playing up:
ON January 30, Private Webb boarded
ferryboat on San Francisco Bay with a one
day pass from Fort Mcdowell in his pocket
on January 81, he registered at a fashionable
hotel in Reno as Captain John Webb, u s.

agents and Army MP's days later hap

isterites.
Playboy Jake arrived in Reno in a beauti-
fully tailored officers uniform on his Shout
dcrs he wore a Captains bars. on his chest
were the wings of a Senior Command Pilot
and brilliant display of decoration and cam
paign ribbons
So far, even the ever efficient FBI hasn't
been able to learn where Jake got his sharp
uniform.
He spent most of his time in fashionable
cocktail lounges with members of the divorce
seeking social set.
But he found time to talk 10 nearly every
body i'm Reno with stories of air battles in
China the Solomons, New Guinea, Australia,
Pearl Harbor and a dozen other battle zones.
Like ne said he took the Japs in the air,
jake took Reno. For seven days not one per-
son suspected the playboy-private of being a
phony. Several listeners remarked Jake was
bit loud and pretty much stuck on himself,

tain" He dated Divorces and college girls
and secretaries.
Which makes Reno the same as any other
city, only more so.
He regaled cocktail lounge audiences for
hours with thrilling tales Of combat in the
Pacific.
The stories Jake told as Captain Webb
were always the same.
He was sitting at the bar in the Royal
Hawaiian Hotel the morning Of December eth
back in 1871, when the first Jap bomb
screamed down on Pearl Harbor
Actually on that very day he was in New
ark hiding at some small bar because of bad

Heart" Jake told listeners.
Purple heart? Why. Mr.. Webb, you
left my heart black and blue!
He said he came to Reno to inspect
the new 100000 Reno air base.
Almost every socialite DIVORCE in Reno
either joined Jake's parties or gossiped about
that good looking Captain"
Sure, tall, dark and ham-some
Captain Webb's glory ended abruptly Sat
urday night February 6. The checks he cashed
at his hotel, on the strength of his supposed
Captancy. were found TO be worthless.
His checks came back marked insufficient
rubber"
His father later made them good, but the
investigation started over the checks I'M

Webb, A.W.OL. from Fort Mcdowell.
A.WOL. to the Army maybe, but
A WOLF to me-
News Of his arrest created Juror among
scores of admirers of Captain Webb"
In the air base guardhouse, jake pleaded
amnesia although his memory hadn't been
bit rusty about his battles over the Pacific.
I'd call it 'hamnesia-"
The hotel manager got in touch with
Jalte's mother, visiting in Hollywood, and she
flew TO Reno.
That same night, clad only in Tapping
bright red bathrobe, white pajamas and pair
OF low cut army SHOES, jake jumped out q
window and escaped
For over "a hours jake led the authorities
a merry chase-but he was finally located in
a Reno hotel, still wearing the red bathrobe.
Police later learned that the playboy-pri.
vate had walked the ten miles from the air
base into Reno, then hailed a taxi and ridden
TO the hotel.
The police turned him over to- air base of
ficers and Jake was marched 70 a waiting
car between a six-foot-six guard and a five
foot-two NJ p.
All he'd say was II feel sick"
Asked about Jalde's pretended amnesia,
Mrs. Webb answered.
II can't explain his escape except that
he was just frantic and wanted to see me-
He wondered why 1 had not been TO see
him. He has a penchant for escapades, but
when he does not drink he is normal
as anybody"
Sure, but when Jake doesn't drink, it
amt normal
Jake doesn't have amnesa, at least he's
never suffered from it before. It's just that
when he drinks he begins to tell stories.
The court-martial decided Jake is 10 spend
the next six months in Jail. He is a bad boy
and will be bad boy. Especially with six
months to think up new ideas. But I'll never
forget one thing Jake enlisted two days
after Pearl Harbor.

of the war. He assured the
Italian people that they will be
free to choose the sort of gov
ernment they desire and be re-
stored to the respected family
hood of European nations once
the present regime is thrown
out.
Mr.. Roosevelt's statement was
made at press conference in which
he announced the fall of the island
of Pantelleria to American and
British forces.
1t was interpreted as an indirect
hint to Italy to get out of the war,
because he prefaced it by telling
neWSmen that this seems to be an
opportune time to say word
through the press and over the air
to the Italian people. His views
were akin to those expressed here
