Medal Of Honor Awarded Hero

A Pennsylvania private who gave

humously awarded the Congressional
Medal Of Honor, the War Depart
mem announced yesterday.
The hero, Pfc. John w. Dutko, %,
of Homer City, Pa. single-handedly
killed IL Germans and then fell dead
himself over the bodies Of the
enemy.
His widow, Mrs. Thel M. Dutko,

medal Saturday at Fort Dupont, Del.

battalion pinned down in a trench
until he went into action.

his Browning automatic rifle, and
jumped out Of the trench in clear
view OF the enemy gunners.
An eyewitness, Pvt. Anatole J.

HE must have known he would be
killed when he left the cover Of the
trench; we knew 1t. But he did 1t
anyway"

They contend 1t would be unfair
to attach general wage recommen-
dalton to specific case involving
one group OF workers. The CLIO is
making its demand behind phalanx
of specific cases involving steel, tex
tiles, glass, General Motors, General
Electric and Westinghouse.
Hearings Took Many Months.
No official source would risk an
estimate of how long the board S
deliberations may run. Public hear
ings occupied many months, con-
Guiding with final oral arguments
before the board last week.
Public members hold the balance
of power but to exercise it they must
find formula acceptable to either
labor or industry or, as on some rare
occasions, enough from each side to
form majority. Putting important
decisions into language acceptable
to majority of the board has often
been long and tedious process.
The WLB can do no more than
recommend, as far as basic wage
policy is concerned, and even rec
concentration might have political
repercussions. A recommendation
also probably would go first to Sta
bilizaticn Director Fred M. Vinson
as do all cases which involve price
ceilings. In the natural course OF
things 1t is believed the case would
not reach President Roosevelt be-
fore the election.

where, In many instances, they are
not eligible to vote unless they take
the precaution to register. Most of
this shifted population is of working,
people-the backbone of Roosevelts
strength. If enthusiasm for their
candidate or the efficiency of the
Political Action Committee should
result In the registration and final
voting Of most of this shifted popu-
lation, the results on November 7
will be quite different than If COM
paratively few of these people reg
lister or vote.
Surveys have shown clearly that
the state Of the progress of the war
will have a very material effect on
the election. A survey done during
the week of August IA showed 54.6
per cent favoring Roosevelt, 400 per
cent favoring Dewey and rs per
cent undecided. Then came the
week of August 81 and with 1t came
spectacular Allied successes on the
continent, eliminating in the lib
Grafton OF Paris. Civilian hopes for
a speedy victory ran highland the
results of the poll taken during that
week showed Roosevelt down shraply
to 49.3 per cent. Dewey up to 44.4
per cent, and the undecided vote also
slightly up to 6.3 per cent.
Significantly enough the results
Of this later survey were within a
fraction of / per cent of the results
obtained in early July to q question
which read: "If the war is over in
Europe, but is still going on in the
Pacific, for whom do you think you
will vote?" The editors of Fortune
remarked, in commenting on the
second of these surveys taken a week
apart: " Perhaps the people mistook
the winning of Paris for the win
ming of the war"
If the war should end after the
last survey is made, there is nothing
the researcher can do now but throw
up his hands and pray for a kind
public Judgment on his efforts. II
the war should end well enough
ahead of election time to permit Of
a survey before we are called upon
to publish our final results, it is still
by no means certain that the same
public mood will prevail on election
day. Unusual reverses or successes
in the Pacific, any indication OF pos
sible dissension among the Allies, or
any unexpected or dramatic change
in the situation on the Continent Of
Europe could result in the switching
of enough votes within "a hours to
alter the results If the last published
results happen to be close.
In normal times political thought
is very stable thing and is not
subject to the wide fluctuations
which the politicians like to mag
Inc. Normally. political sentiment
changes very little from the week
after both nominees are known until
election time. Normally, the, vast
expenditures Of money and the vast
flow of words from the contending
forces might better be saved for al
the influence they have on the
voters. Surveys show conclusively
that events sway far more votes
than do words. This years election
will be held in the midst Of most
dramatic events.

The Southeastern Underwriters

the high tribunal that the decision
last June has brought about a sit

The court decided the question by

High Court 10 Review
0bjecfor S Conviction
In Refusing Army Call

The Supreme Court today agreed
to review the conviction of a con-
scientious objector who refused TO
report for induction, thereby chal-
longing the military membership Of
the Presidential Appeals Board.
which upheld his IA classification.
Willis E. Giese, SO, a former EN-
ploye OF the War Manpower Conn
mission, has commended that the
board which ultimately reviewed his
classification should have been COM
posed Of civilians instead OF military
personnel.
Giese was sentenced In District
Court to serve from three months to
three years in prison and the con-
viction was upheld by the Court Of
Appeals.
The Court of Appeals majority
ruled that the conscientious objec-
tor could not contest the validity Of
his Selective Service classification
in court until he had been indicted.
In dissenting motion, Chief JUS
tice Groner of the Appeals Court
held that the mans classification
should have been passed on by civil
ians. declaring that the classifica-
ton by members of Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey's staff was illegal.
The court also granted a review to
the National Metropolitan Bank,
which is combating an effort by the
Treasury to recover more than S1S,-
900 representing payments on
checks and travel vouchers forged
by a clerk in the Marine Corps pay
masters office here who later COM
mitted suicide.
1t was alleged that the clerk,
James H. Foley, committed the
forgeries between 1886 and 1898 and
cashed or deposited the checks and
travel vouchers in the Anacostia
Bank. This bank submitted checks
to the National Metropolitan Bank
for collection and that institution
presented them to the Treasury for
payment.
The Government did not oppose
the review saying that the issue of
banks liability under such cir
cumstances had been the subject of
conflicting decisions in the lower
courts.
Both the District Court and the
Court of Appeals held the bank
liable.
In another case today, the court
refused to review htigations testing
the right of District Court to order
the division and sale of local real
estate free from the dover interest
OF widow, without her consent.
The refusal left, in effect, a Court
Of Appeals ruling holding such par
titioning valid.
The appeal was made by Mrs.
Mary Sue Magruder, widow of Will
liam M. Magruder, holder of a dover
interest in property in the 1900 block
Of Neal street NE.
She opposed the sale of the prop
erty which was sought by the seven
children of Mr. Magruder.
The court failed to pass on the
appeal of Monroe D. Nicely, colored,
who is sentenced to die January rs
for the murder of Policeman Charles
/ r, Johnston in Nav. 1o43

wounded by the second gun, but
staggered up and went on toward
the cannon. A long burst from his
automatic rife killed all five of its
crew.
Then he turned the rife on the
two Germans firing the machine
gun that had wounded him, and
both fell dead. The third machine
gun remained, and he lurched to-
ward 1t at half run, and again was
hit. probably by sniper. He
stumbled but did not fall, and as the
last burst from his rifle cut down
the last two Germans his momen-
tum carried him into their gun nest
where he fell dead.
