District PAW Aide Learns He Bred Dog Hero
Mentioned for DSC After Routing Italian Foe

When The Star published recently.
Staff Correspondent Thomas r.
Henry's story from Sicily describing
how Chips, an Army dog, had been
recommended for the Distinguished
Service Gross for routing, alone, the
crew of an italian pillbox, C. C.
Moore, with the Petroleum Admin
istration for War, wondered whether
it was the same Chips he once
owned
Mr.. Moore appealed to Col New
bold Ely, in command of K-9 at the
War Department, and the personal
history of the Chips that distin-
guished himself in Sicily was looked
up. 1t was the same dog.
Mr.. Moore, dog fancier, bred
Chips from mother, Margot Jute,
which was half collie, half German
police dog, and Husky, a malamute
whose parents went on one of the
Byrd Antarctic expeditions. This
was at Mr.. Moore's home in Pleas
antville, N. Y.
Gave Dog to Child.
Early in Chips puppyhood, Mr..
Moore gave the dog to 9-year-old
Gail Wren, neighbor. The dog
grew so attached to Gail that, like
Mary's rhymed lamb, he followed
her to school every day. He would
settle himself under her desk, and
efforts to dislodge him were not very
successful. Mr.. Moore recalled that
Gail and her family were Chips
particular proteges-nothing must
happen to them-but other chill.
dren were not in the same cate
CORY.
1T became a problem" Mr.. Moore
explained. IF other children would
romp too hard with Gail or her
little sister, Chips would intervene.
He never actually bit anyone, but
he would grab little girls by their
dresses and pull them away, which
scared them plenty. We we're afraid
he might bite some one eventually,
and We wondered what to do"
Gail, Proudest Girl in Town.
Gail would not consider parting
with Chips until Mr.. Moore sug-
gested the Army. That was differ
ent. The little girl consented read
lily. She hung a star in her bed
room window and was quite proud
Of Chips when he went away to
Hicksville, L. /. Later they learned
he had been sent to Front Royal,
Va, for advanced training, and that
was the last they heard until Mr..
Henry's story described the dogs
vigilance and heroism.
"He was always an uncommonly
smart dog" Mr.. Moore said, "and I
knew he'd do well in the Army"
And today Gail Wren, having re-
ceived clipping of the story about
her dog, is the proudest girl in
Pleasantville.

Selection Of Jury
To Try CIatterbuck
Begins in Loudoun
Seven Of First Eight Called
From Madison Venure
Accepted for Service
BY, Staff Correspondent of The Star


LEESBURG, Va, Sept. 14.-Se-
lection of jury from venire of
so Madison County residents for the
trial of Thomas William Clatter-
buck, charged with the Staying of
five persons on the Loudoun County
farm of A. Morris Love June l, pro-
ceeded at rapid pace in Loudoun
County Circuit Court here today.
Clatterbuck Is being tried on a
charge of Staying Walter Russell,
tenant on the Love farm. He also
is charged with the salying Of Mr..
and Mrs Love, their son James and
Mrs. Russell.
In a third attempt in as many
weeks to find an impartial jury,
seven of the first eight men called
were accepted by Judge j. r. Alex-
ander. The defense objected to sew
eralof the men on the grounds that
they had served on juries within the
last IL months, but since they were
from a county other than Loudoun,
the objection was overruled by
Judge Alexander.
Previous attempts to get jury
from Loudoun County and the city
of Winchester failed. 1t is necessary
to get panel of 20, since both the
defense and the prosecution can
strike off four each without cause
The men accepted by Judge Alex
ander within the first hour were
Kermit r. Aylor, Dan r. Aylor, an
uncle of Kermit Aylor; r. L. Broyles,
L. M. Bates, A. Lawton Blanken-
baker, Jesse C. Blankenbaker and
C. A. Chapman. Another man was
dismissed for bad hearing and fixed
opinions.
In contrast with the veniremen
from Winchester. many of the
Madison County men told the court
that they had either read very little
about the Clatterbuck case or that
they had no particular prejudice.
One man, A. Lawton Blankenbaker,
said he had read about the case in a
Washington newspaper When ques-
toned by the defense about the i'm
preston the newspaper articles had
on him, Mr.. Blankenbaker replied
vigorously:
Il don't believe what I read in q
Washington paper anymore than in
any other. But it's the only way
can get news" he added amid
laughter in court.
The courtroom was only partly
filled when the proceedings began
at 10 am.

Lawyers Committee
Appointed 10 Protest
Montgomery Ruling
Welch to Head Group
At PorIey Concerning
Practice Restrictions

A f1ve-man committee has been
named to seek relaxation of court
ruling restricting practice before the
Montgomery County Circuit Court,
j. Harry WEIGH, chairman, an
nounced today.
The committee was authorized at
a protest meeting of approximately
40 Montgomery and Prince Georges
County lawyers Wednesday night.
Members of the committee who
will serve with Mr.. Welch are:
Roger j. Whiteford, H. Winship
Wheatley, E. Barrett Prettyman and
Arthur j. Hilland.
Mr.. Welch said he is writing today
to the two Montgomery Circuit
Court judges asking for an appoint
ment to discuss the matter.
Ruling Effective October 1.
The ruling, effective October /
was issued last month by Chief
Judge Edward S. Delaplane and As
sociate Judges Charles w. Wood
ward, Stedman Prescott and Patrick
M. Schnauffer of the sixth Mary
land judicial circuit, which COM
prises Montgomery and Frederick
Counties. Judges Woodward and
Prescott are the Montgomery Coun-
ty members of the Circuit Court.
The ruling provides that all ac-
tions carried on in the court, ex-
cept those brought by the plaintiffs
themselves, shall be conducted by
enrolled members of the bar of the
Circuit Court.
Under the ruling, members in good
standing of the Maryland Court of
Appeals. who regularly maintain
bona flde Offices in Montgomery
County who spend a reasonable
amount of time" in such Offices, shall
be eligible to become members of the
Circuit Court bar on making appli-
cation in writing on forms provided
by the Circuit Court clerk.
Validity Questioned.
Any nonmember may practice be-
fore the court provided he is asso-
ciated with an enrolled member in
the institution and trial of any
action or proceeding.
Those attending last weeks pro-
test meeting charged that the ruling,
which was authorized by an act
passed at the last session of the
State Legislature, would result in the
virtual disbarment of lawyers living
In Montgomery County, but who
maintain Offices in the District.
Several of the attorneys also con-
tended that the validity of the ruling
is doubtful in that it conflicts with
the general law authorizing Mary
land attorneys to practice anywhere
in the State.

Gen. Eisenhower and Gen. Patton
Rear Admiral now Vice AdmiraD
H. K. Hewitt, who commanded the
expedition until its Decentralization
In Africa, assembled the force at sea

blanca. This task force was to eff
feet junction with the force under
Maj. Gen. now 1t. Gem LLOYD
Fredendall, which was to land in
the vicinity of Oran.
Gen. Fredendalrs Group.
Gen. Fredendall's troops consisted
OF the 1st Infantry Division and one
half OF the 1st Armored Division,
reinforced by corps troops. In addi-
ton to seizing Oran and the ada
cent airflelds and making contact
with Gen. Patton's force in the
vicinity of Fez, this expedition was
also charged with the mission of
ef1ectlng juncture with the eastern
task force, which had the mission
OF capturing Algiers. The latter
force, under 1t. Gen. K. A. N. Ander-
son OF the British Army, consisted
OF British commando and infantry
units together with two United
States regimental combat teams, one
from the 9th and one from the 34th
Infantry divisions, and Ranger
battalion. The first landing was to
be effected under the direction of
Maj. Gen. Charles w. Ryder of the
American Army. Gen. Anderson
took over command after the Amer
ican troops had been established
ashore.
The two task forces sailed from
the British Isles on October Is under
British naval escort. All three task
forces were provided the protection
of three naval covering forces, one
American.
To facilitate the capture of the
airflelds near Oran a 1,500-mile

parachute troops.
Gen. Eisenhower at Gibraltar.
November was designated as
D-day on which the three task
forces were to strike simultaneously.
Three days previously Gen. Eisen-
hover opened his command post at
Gibraltar, and apropos of Allied
unity of purpose in this war it is
interesting to report that for the
time being he commanded the Fort
ress of Gibraltar. Just prior to his
departure from London, Gen. EiSen-
hover radioed me the following
message:
Il cannot leave the United
Kingdom without expressing to
you once more, and to all of your
assistants in the War Depart
ment, my lasting appreciation for
the perfect assistance and sup
port you have provided us. If
you deem it appropriate, and
convenient occasion will occur,
I should like you to pay my re-
spects to the President and the
Secretary of War and to say to
them that all of lis are deter
mined to make this operation a
real success.

evening skirt was made from a
dressing gown. After the remodel
ing filigree buttons were added,
and the old-timer reappeared as a
glamour jacket that is perfect for
dates and evening wear.
The basic black dress usually
looks good even after a solid sea-
son of wear, but to build up your
own morale the addition of a "
necked collar with crocheted me-
dalton trim will make 1t look and
feel like something new. The collar
takes just few odd bits of ma
terial and some crochet cotton, so
it's easy to make the netamor-
phosis.
If you are going in for Victory
gardening, then it's cinch you'll
want something cool and washable
TO work in. The attractive pinafore
was made from an old house dress.
The sleeves and underarm sections
were cut out and the midriff taken
in and fitted. With it is worn q
washable cotton shirt.
