IS Year Prison Sentence

an American military court.
The nom commissioned officers in
the group were given five years each
while one private was sentenced to
a year and the other privateS re-
ceived longer terms, according to
Col William II. Durham, junior
commanding officer of the barrage
balloon training center.
The sentences given the Cd men
81 soldiers came after they had PLAN
ned a Joy ride to Jackson, Tenn.
last Oct. TO- The men never reach
ed their destination however, be-
cause camp Officials discovered their
absence and also learned of the
missing trucks. Authorities from
Camp Tyson found the missing men
in small town called Henry.
The sentencves given the "a men
were termed very harsh as former
punishmentS for misappropiation of
government property are said
to have been much lighter.
The soldiers are slated to serve
their sentences at federal rehabi-
1itation camp, according to court
martial, composed of all whites. A
decision by the judge advocate of
the war department in Washington,
however, may modify the terms.
The findings of the court martial

eminent property without authori-
ty are now in the hands of officials
for final approval.

Case Is Placed
Before Sec y
OF War Sthnson.
One Of White
Boys Is Cut
During Scuffle

WASHINGTON, d. G. - tSNS)
- The case of Pvt. Reeves Bell, who
was beaten by four white men IN
Starksville, Miss, because he Would
not take off his uniform, and VINO
was sentenced to three and one-halI
years in the state penitentiary by a
Mississippi court, has been placed
before Secretary of War Stlnson by
the Washington Bureau of the Ma
ACP.
Pvt. Bell, who was attached to
Quartermaster battalion at Fort
Myles Standish, Massachusetts,, was
on furlough and was visiting ms
parents in Starksville.
TALKING TO GIRLS
The record shows that on his first
evening in town he was standing
on the street corner cahtting with
two colored girls when four white
men passed by. One of them push
ed Pvt. Bell, but Bell said nothing.
A second push was given him and
he was asked, Where did you get
that uniform?"
Bell replied that Uncle Sam had
given him the uniform, Whereupon
he was told, Take off that soldier
suit" Naturally Bell refused and a
scuffle ensued in which one of the
white boys calims to have been cut
by the soldier.
Bell was arrested and jailed. Mill
tary police entered into the case but
did not take Bell into military GUS
tody.
GIBSON CONFUSED
Pvt. Bells commanding officer
was notified of his predicament but
still the military authorities did not
take charge. An examination into
the case was made by Truman K.
Gibson, Civilian Aide to the Secre-
tary of War, who told the NAACP
there was some confusion about the
notification to military authorities
The next news was that of Bells
conviction and sentence to three
and one-half years in prison. The
NAACP letter to Secretary Stimson
states:
I'VE understand that the War De-
partment has already taken the po-
sition that all soldiers are to be
tried by military tribunals, and that
only for very strong reasons will
they be turned over to civilian au-
| thorities. In view Of the fact that
! military policemen were at the
] scene of the arrest, and the COM
manding officer of Fort MyleS STAN
dish had notice of this mans de-
tention, may we inquire why the
military did not take jurisdiction n
| this caSe?"

ALGIERS, Nov. 10--Gen. Charles
de Gaulle was left in virtually un-
disputed control of the French Com
mittee for National Liberation fol-
lowing the resignation of Gen Henri
Honore Giraud as co-president amid
other sweeping changes which drew
Communist censure for hasty action
In the reconstruction of the COM
mittee Giraud's withdrawal which,
however, left him in command of the
French armed forces, was announced
at meeting yesterday along with
the adoption of two DEGREES dropping
five members and adding seven
others and ordaining the separation
of civilian and military powers.
The reshuffle was coincident with
the reOpening of the consultative
assembly and gave the committee
completely deGaullist tinge which
left the Communists unrepresented.
One Communist, Assemblyman
Andre MERCER assailed the deGaul-
lists with too much speed in re-
shaping the committee and criticiz-
ing them for not waiting until the
changes could be discussed Sin broad

STOCKHOLM, Nov. l0.-Reports
from Germany, on the eve OF the
25th anniversary of the World Wan
Armistice, when internal chaos
broke the Kaisers empire, indicate
Himmler's Gestapo still has a firm
grip on the home front.
However, in view of succession
of defeats suffered recently by the
German army, Nazi leaders have
taken a number of precautionary
measures designed to keep affairs
at home under control and avert
the possibility of a collapse due t.
the cracking of morale, according
to advices from inside Germany.
Goebbels and officials of the po-
lice chiefs propaganda leaders held
lengthy conference in Berlin two
weeks ago to study the situation
and decided:
l. German security by the police
should be strengthened and better
armed.
2. Quasi military formations of
the Nazi party must be held in a
state of intensified preparedness.
3. Stricter control must be exer-
cised over all areas in which are
located industrial plants and over
all port areas.

Chatterer, ''just common barn

and touched it. "Pooh!" said he,
'its nothing to be afraid Of" Just
then he touched one. of the little
wires and there was a sudden snap.
It frightened Chatterer SO that he
scurried away. But he couldn't stay
away. That snap was such a funny
thing, and it hadn't done any harm.
You see, he hadn't put his paw in at
one Of the little holes or it might
have done some harm. Pretty soon
he was back again meddling with
those little wires on top. Every once
in a while there would be snap
and he would scamper away. It
was very scary and great fun. By
and by the thing wouldn't snap any
more and then Chatterer grew tired
of his queer plaything and began to
wonder about the other queer thing.
No harm had come from the first
one, SO he was sure no harm could
come from the other.

'Dry Ice Gas Used as
Propulsive Force in Gun

When liquefied, dry ice produces
such a violently expanding gas that
it is now used as a propelling force

A cylinder under the barrel is
filled with crushed ice which soon
melts and gives off gas.

MO MATTER if you move from
hither to yon or change from
a spacious house to single room
there are certain treasures that
will mean home to you. A few
books, a piece of china and some
perfectly useless but cheering bits
of bric-a-brac-by all means take
them with you and make a
dramatic setting for them.
A shadow box cupboard will do
the trick. The one shown here is
light and substantial; will lend
glamour even to dime store odds
and ends, and may be placed on
top of a table, a chest of drawers
or a desk. No special skill and
almost no tools are needed to
make it.
If you do not have a saw to cut
the scalloped frame, mark it on
plywood and take it to the nearest
woodworking shop to have it cut.
You may have the straight boards
cut at the lumber yard where you
buy them. All you will have to
do is screw them together; tack
