Armchair travelling will be pop
ular this summer. 1t seems to be
the only comfortable mode Of travel,
so select any of the following books
from the shelves of your Washing
ton County Library, and see the
world through the eyes of others.
New England is a good place to
begin and Eleanor Earley's New
England Sampler is filled with odd
bits of information, excellent ma
terial and handled in an amusing
style. 1t is an account of social life
in the New England states from
Anne Hutchinsons day to now and
will provide the right flavor to start
a trip.
If you haven't read Mrs. Reyes
Also the Hills, with New Hampshire
as the setting, that should be
tucked away in your mental travel
kit. You will see many Daniel and
Serena Farmans-typical family of
the soil and the human quality of
the family will keep you sympathet-
ically engrossed to the end.
For those who want the beach,
the waters of New England, Winter
Harbor, by Bernice Richmond, will
be a Joy. The author and her hus-
band bought an island off the Maine
coast and have occupied it every
summer since 1899. The book is
the story of their lighthouse, exper-
fences and their neighbors.
. Stop over in Williamsburg, Vir-
ginia, and through Stevens Old
Williamsburg, recapture the spirit
of old Southland. Full of pictures,
legends and true adventures, the
charm of the new-old town will en-
chant you so that when we really
travel you'll remember to stop
there.
While going South, Mrs Miriam
Sims has book, Beyond Surrender,
that will put you back in the days

GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

lett, her hero, Denis Warden, is well
worth knowing.
And-don't forget those Federal
Writer'S Project Books. Their guide
books on the states are interesting,
with all kinds of information, local
history, legends, picturesr highways
and scenes. There is one on Mary
land that is very good.
From the Deep South to the
Southwest, Texas, World In Itself,
by George Sessions Perry, is very
convincing piece of writing Fla
vored with everything from coyotes,
rattlesnakes to "Jim Ferguson and
the Alamo" it gives a Characters
tic picture of this immense state.
Turning Northward. Father Mis-
sissippi, by Lyle Saxon, will carry
one on even keel, and through flood
tide, up to the North-central States,
where one may pick up Wake OF the
Prairie Schooner, true tale by
Irene d. Poder. With that one may
go through to the Pacific coast, as
they did in 1912, or stop over and
see the Three Wonderlands of
American West Yellowstone, YOse-
mite, and the Grand Canyon, by
Thomas d. Murray. Here are sto-
ries of, and the pictures of, these
famous spots. Then if you like the
desert, Stanley Gardeners Case of
the DrOwsy Mosquito is set in the
Mohave, while Mabel Seeley's Elev-
en- Came Back is thriller with its
base in Wyoming. You'll capture
the feeling of those Wyoming nights
even though it will be throbbing
with mystery.
Stop for awhile on the Pacific
coast. Vivian Bretherton's Rock
and the Wind gives a fine bit of Or
egon and its development. Written
about the period of the 1868, the
story moves repidly, with dashes of
history, a pinch of fighting and a
sprinkling of recklessness.

Judge Advocate Frees Another Prisoner--ReStS
TRIAL OFFICIALS
BEST in ARMY

The Army has put together a
first-string team for its largest
court-martial OF the war, now in
progress at Fort Lawton. where
AZ defendants are on trial for
participation in the August IA
riot at the fort.
Outstanding among the hand
picked officials of the court-mar-
tial in addition to the courts
president, Col. Wilmar ". De
Witt, are Lieut.. Col. Gerald w.
O'Connor, law member; Lieut..
Col Leon Jaworski, trial Judge
advocate; Maj. Samuel A. Mac
Lehman, member of the court,
and Maj. William T. Beeks, de-
tense counsel.
Col. O'Connor Veteran Soldier
Colonel O'Connor, who was
borrowed" from the Air Force
for this trial. accompanied the
first B-29's to go overseas, serv-
ing with the Twentieth Air Force
in India and China. A reserve
officer, Colonel O'Connor enlist
ed during the First World War,
went to France as a buck private,
and received commissions as sec
and later first lieutenant there.
Colonel Jaworski has been as
signed to several of the Armys'
most important court-martials
previously in this war, a number
Of which, for security reasons,
were secret. When such secret
trials involve a soldier OF an
enemy nation, record of the
trial is submitted to a neutral
nation, such as Switzerland, and
transmitted by il not to the prop
aganada branch of the enemy ma
ton, but to its military author
tiles who preserve the secrecy.
In McKesson-Robbins Case
Major MacLennan. before en-
tering the service, was a postal
inspector. In that capacity he
presented the principal body of
evidence for the government in
the sensational McKesson Rob-
bins case several years ago.
Major Beeks, a trial lawyer of
note, who has been identified
chiefly with admiralty cases in
the East, was assigned especially
to the Fort Lawton case, and
brought here from an overseas
post to act as defense counsel.
Exchanges between Colonel ia
workski and Major Beeks have
been one of the high lights of
the trial. Colonel Jaworski Is
suave and hard-hitting, while Ma
jor Beeks is chunky bulldog of
a man who never let's go of a
witness until he has shaken out
all the evidence the witness has
in him.
