He studied drawing under the Dicksie's and in numerous art schools. He worked as an assistant to Paul M. Mont ford, English sculptor. He then broadened his interests by acting, appearing in such notable companies as that of Ellen Terry and Sir John Harvey. In addition, he produced numerous plays and designed stage scenery. MT.

Among the best known are: "The Gloucester Fish erman" = World War Memorial at Amesbury, Mass, The Delong Me morial in New York City and The Joy of Life at Peterboro, N. H.
 MT. Craske was one of the first to experiment in natural color photog- raphy. Some of the results of his research were turned over to and accepted by the Eastman Company. His lecture Sunday evening, we Go to Egypt" is one of his film masterpieces.

 SUPERIOR COURT
Youth Allegedly Involved in Reported Break at
 Gasoline Station

Charges of breaking and entry against John Grove, IT, 24 1-2 Williams street, were continued to Oct. after he was arraigned before Judge Charles R. Summa in city court yesterday.
 Grove and a 15-year-old boy ad- mitted to Detective Sergt. Joseph Reilly and Detective Raymond Grady that they had entered the Shell gasoline station at 666 East Main street on the evening of Jan. 20, but said they had taken nothing. They claimed they used to hang around the station doing odd jobs for the proprietor, James Constan- tino, and that they had entered the station intending to call him when they found it open.
 Constantine, however. said $12 and 600 gasoline ration coupons had been taken from the establish ment.
 Attorney for the defense, State Senator John F. Tobin subjected Constantine to a verbal barrage. accusing him of "Seizing upon the opportunity to declare a theft of ration coupons and straighten his accounts for the OPA."
 Constantine admitted being 140 coupons of center in his accounts, but denied Senator Tobin's charges.

On section of the battlefield Is as smooth as 8 football field, only 50 times as large. Strewn over the length of the grass-tufted field are seven tanks, lying like prone foot ball players who missed tackles when an opposing player ran for a touchdown.
 And on the sideline, milling about like excited spectators, are herds of camels and cattle. They are shepherded by Arabs, whose hooded robes make them look like substitute football players wearing parkas at late November game.
 Surrounding the super-sized Yale Bowl are dark blue mountains that have watched the Romans and the Arabs and the French and the Germans and finally the Americans win this territory.
 A glaringly white gravel road rurnS smack down the middle Of the plain that is known as Faid Pass. Only an occasional military truck and numerous caravans of camels and burros move down the road nowadays. But last February, the tanks of the 21st German Pan- ger division of the Afrika Korps smashed back at the Americans that eventually were to help squeeze the Axis right out of Tunisia.
 It was on February IA that the German armor suddenly thrust westward, and, outnumbering the American armor two to one, crashed forward.
 American tank achievements counterattacked the following day, but suffered heavily - bringing American tank losses to 100 in two days. The Germans had stopped the Americans cold through the Adroit use of 88-mm. guns, as well Rs Mark VI tanks which were in action in Tuniisa for the first time.
 The Americans eventually pushed back the Germans, rescuing most of the American infantrymen who bad been trapped on Djebel Les

 Although the Germans also suf- fered tank losses in the Faid Pass, almost all the burned-out wrecks that still litter the battlefield are American.
 The welded turrets of Americas $ crack General Sherman tanks can be identified easily, although the machines are so badly wrecked they look like toys that have been split lengthwise by 8 hatchet. Tank treads are entwined about the wreckage like giant serpents.

Roosevelt Confers
With Governors Of
Texas and Louisiana

Governors Of two Southern States
where intraparty rows have split the
Democrats saw President Roosevelt
yesterday, but, according to their re-
ports, peacetime conversion of war
time industries in their States was
the major topic of conversation.
Gov. Coke Stevenson of Texas,
where bolt OF Democratic electors
is threatened, would not even admit
that politics was discussed at his
hour-long meeting with the Presi-
dent. He later saw Robert E. Han
negan, Democratic national chair
man.
Gov. James H. Davis of Louisiana
said he and Mr.. Roosevelt talked
very little politics" but that he had
told the President of the situation
In his State: He predicted Mr..
Roosevelt would carry Louisiana.
Secretary of Commerce Jones, who
went to the White House with Gov.
Stevenson, said later he supposed
the Governor and the President
naturally talked" about the Texas
political situation.
Himself a Texan, Mr.. Jones said
he was sure nobody short of God
is going to straighten them out" in
Texas, but described as a good sug-
Fgestion Gov. Stevenson's proposal
that Texas have two states of Demo-
cratic electors in the November
election.
Senator Harry s. Truman, Demo-
cratic vice presidential nominee,
who also went with Gov. Stevenson
tto- the White House, declared, how
ever, that sfne Governor would
"strafghted them out"
The party split developed last
May when a pro Roosevelt faction
walked out of the Texas Democratic
convention after anti-Roosevelt
delegates won test votes. The latter
have about Is members on the slate
