 Nearby Communities

Recognizing the machine as one reported stolen earlier in the eve ming, they sprinted after 1t and halt ed it in the midst of the theatre traffic.
 The occupants, Francis Richard son, 25, 142 Union street, Arthur Moody, 9, 189 Orange street, and a 15-year-old boy, attempted to flee. but they were quickly collared by the two officers.
 At police headquarters, Richard son admitted to Chief Inspector Jospeh R. Bendler that he stole the car, which was owned by An- thony Fibre, 35 Penrose street, from Jacks parking lot on East Main street about o'clock that evening.
 Further questioning by Inspector Bendler elicited the whereabouts of a 1886 Oldsmobile owned by Morris Halbesten, 136 Columbia Boulevard, reported stolen from the East Main street parking lot last Friday. Rich ardson told the inspector that he had stolen the car and later lost the keys to it so that it was now stranded in theA. & P. parking lot on Cole street.
 Arraigned before Judge T. E. Con- way in City Court this morning, Richardson pleaded guilty to charges of automobile theft and driving while his license was under sus- pension, and was bound over to Superior Court under $2,000 bond.
 Moody pleaded not guilty and was granted a one day continuance to obtain counsel. The 15-year-old boy was turned over to juvenile author Hies.

 Pickering
 The trial has been marked throughout by pickering and what Richer described as time-wastlng motions by defense attorneys. It started with days of "sideshow" pro- ceedings when Edward James Smythe, one of the defendants, fail- ed to appear at the start of the trial and was apprehended two days later by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents at Ausable Chasm, N. r., where he said he was going on fishing trip.
 The indictment charged that the defendants engaged in conspiracy to undermine the morale of the arm ed forces and to set up Nazi form of government in this country. Adolf Hitler was listed as a co-con- spirator, although not specifically named as defendant.
 In general, the defendants were accused of having furthered this conspiracy through publication of pamphlets and booklets and through various other utterances. Testimony thus far has tended to show that various of the defendants had deal- ings mostly through letters, with Nazi officials before the war.

He started to describe the other

lowed to stay in them long enough
really to look around.

wrote that she guessed he'd be home
this Christmas.
For long time he sat there cross

artillery thunder through the sound
Of heavy rain. The candle burned
low, but he couldn't think what else
to say.

WITH THE AEF IN FRANCE,
Sept. 30 Delayed your letters
say SO little any more" wrote a SOL
dier's sweetheart. Il wish you would
tell me more so p would feel as
though I were living at least little
part Of 1t with you. You used to
write so much"
So the soldier sat down to write
by the light of one sputtering candle.
"The landing wasn't so bad this
time" he wrote. 1T was nothing
like Salerno. You know how"
No, she didn't know. She wasn't
at Salerno and we hadn't been able
to describe 1t to her until so long
afterward that 1t didn't matter. He
took a fresh piece of paper and
started again.
France is beautiful" he wrote.
The main thing is that it's clean.
After Africa, Sicily and Italy. you
can imagine how nice it is To-"
She Wasn't There.
How can she imagine, he thought.
She wasn't there.
Il guess you have seen in the pa
pers that we have been moving pretty
FAST" he started again. "In a way,
it's been harder on us, what with
moving in the rain every day, eating
K-rations and C-rations all the
time"
He scratched that out because she
believed that since the Army ratious
kwere nutritious they couldn't be SO
bad. Besides, 1t probably would
seem small thing to grippe about
when talking in terms OF victcri-
Gus campaign.
1--WE still are losing men every
time we catch up with the Ger
mans" he wrote. He started to tell
about Bill getting it the other day
but he remembered that he'd never
mentioned Bill and it would take
too much space now to tell who he
was. Besides, it probably would just
worry her If she knew one Of his
pals was killed.
Anzio Recalled.
"But at least it's better to lose
them when we seem to be making
good progress than losing them the
way we did at Anzio, just sitting
there and taking It," He wondered
If she ever would be able to under
stand how 1t felt at Anzio. Probably
not. Besides, he hadn't been able
even to tell her he was there until
after his outfit broke out OF the
beachhead.
"You would like Lyon" he started
to write and then stopped, realizing
that he was about to tell her she
would like Lyon because it had
streetcars, department stores, fac
tories and big railroad station.
She would think he was going nuts.
He tried again.
"You would like Lyon because it
has little sidewalk cafes"
He let that stand, although he
suddenly remembered he had writ
ten her the same thing about Algiers,
about Rome. about san Maxine and

StragglerS, ana In the lace OF heaVy
enemy small arms and mortar fire,
demonstrated courage and leader
ship in proceeding through heavy
jungle terrain to a position within
20 yards of the enemy line"
What 1t doesn't say is that time
after time under furious fire from
snipers men next to Gen. will
loughby were shot down. The
enemy had spotted him as some
thing out of the ordinary dam
gerous thing in jungle fighting.
Gen. Willoughby wore bleached
khaki uniform in sharp contrast to
the fatigue blues of the Filipinos.
He obviously was an officer Of rank.
Willoughby's Last Fight.
To Gen. Willoughby it was my
last fight and it was with an all
Filipino outfit" 1t undoubtedly will
be his last fight of that type. The
Japanese would give a good deal to
capture man who knows as much
about Gen. MacArthur's plans and
secrets as Gen. Willoughby.
Though he has no further pros
'pect of fighting such as that on
Bataan he learned much about the
Japanese. How does he size them
up?
I'VE recognize that the Jap is a
flrst-class infantryman, but he is
primarily an infantryman. He does
what you expect the infantry to do.
But we were shocked to find
that in spite of his strict disciplinary
training he was such a barbarian
unnecessarily barbarous. He would
just as soon burn village as to
pass it by. shall always remember
the long, vertical columns of smoke
spiraling in the spring air from
burning villages which could have
been spared"
Buna Experience Recalled.
Gen. Willoughby's most memor-
able experience was at Buna, in
November and December of 1912.
Il think the seizure of Buna
government station, the first Ameri-
can effort by green troops in the
Southwest Pacific, was most i'm
portant for psychological reasons.
The fact we had got to the
north coast of New Guinea abreast
of the jungle-wise (Australian) 7th
Division was thrill. I knew that
that was the first rung of the lad
der on the way up the north coast
of New Guinea"
1t also was the first step on the
way back. Aside from his own per-
sonal desires, Gen. Willoughby has
another reason for wanting to re-
turn to the Philippines.
"It is tremendously important that
we go back" he said. "Of all the
Oriental areas under semi Colonial
status the Philippines was the only
one which pitched in and fought
with their erstwhile Colonial gov
ernors. And ever since they have
clung steadfastly to this American
fraternity in spite of all the Quis-
ling puppet governors the Japs have
tried to set up.
I'VE must go back because be-
lieve the honor and prestige OF the
United States is at stake in the
liberation of country which could
have submitted as the others did"
