SteepIechosing Deer Too Fast
For Police in Northeast Area

Police in scout cars With scream
ing sirens went on a deer hunt in
the Northeast section today to the
delight of children freed from
school by the Saturday holiday.
The pack lost its quarry, however,
in the Chillum woods at the District
line between Queens Chapel road
and New Hampshire avenue exten-
sion, and abandoned chase, which
had been directed by radio
The deer, large red buck with
antlers, again and again showed
police its white tail as it went over
hedges and fences 5 feet high It
was evidently the same wild deer
first noticed Thursday browsing in
the Zoo outside the fence confning
the deer herd. 1t has been reported
here and there in the north part Of
the city since.
The chase started this morning
when passersby were startled at see
ing a deer in Langdon Park, small

CHUNGKING, Dec. 2.-Che-
fang, next to the last Japanese
held town on the Burma road in
China, has been captured by
Chinese forces, the Chungking
high command announced today.
American liaison units of the
China Training and Combat Com
mand and American planes of the
l4th Air Force assisted Chinese de-
tachments in the seizure of the
town, which left only about "a miles
of the Burma Road to be taken for
assault on the border city of Want
ing.
Slight Resistance.
Resistance was scant. Most of the
defenders had withdrawn before the
increasing pressure. AS they re-
treated they set fire to nearby vii
lagos and bridges to delay pursuit.
P-40 fighters of the 14th Air Force
gave direct support to the attackers
and both fighters and BPS bombers
raided Wanting, striking japanese
headquarters and storage dumps, a
communique from Maj. Gen. Albert
c. Wedemeyer's headquarters an
nounced.
The occupation of Chefang in the
Yunnan Province offensive came at
the end of 12-day push after the
capture of Mangshih November 10.
Jap Penetration Admitted.
Meanwhile, the Chinese high COM
mand admitted officially that the
japanese had penetrated Kweichow
Province.
The Chinese told of skirmishes in
the Limingkwan Dawn Pass
through which runs the Kwangsi-
Kweichow railroad. The pass be-
gins just inside the Kweichow bord-
er north of Liuchai, on the railroad
ITO miles southeast of the Kweichow

The active pallbearers, who walked
beside the casket when it was
brought in. were the deputy mar

room week after week and saw tc
the comfort and convenience OF
those engaged in the trial.
The honorary escort included all
the justices of the District Court OF

The rector of st. Johns. the Rev

DR.. Magee turned to one passage
from the Epistle of st. Paul to Tim

the passing of Justice Eicher: "I

lice, in the area and sent them after
the deer
At sight of the police the deer
raced through alleys east to Twenty
fourth street Then he doubled back
in Jackson street and next was re-
ported going north through back
yards in Thirteenth street.
Soon there were four scout cars,
a headquarters cruiser and two
traffic cruisers, all with two-way
radios and six motorcycle patrols
with one-way radios in on the chase.
The deer obtained brief sanctuary
in the wooded grounds of the Fran
ciscon Monastery in Hardwood road.
Then he was out again, still headed
north.
The scout cars in pursuit were at
a loss. Again and again, the drivers
sighted the deer but he would be
gone over fences. Police measured
his speed with their speedometers
as better than 80 miles an hour over

Defendants in Sedition Trial
Attend Rites for Judge Eicher

Defendants, attorneys, jurors and
court officers who sat in the sedi-
ton trial for nearly eight months
gathered today in historic st. Johns
Episcopal Church to pay tribute to
the judge, Chief Justice Edward c.
Eicher of District Court, who died
between sessions.
Along with the mourners from the
judiciary, headed by Supreme Court
Justices Rutledge and Douglas, and
the other public officials and the
escort from the Bar Association
came nearly every one connected
with the long trial who remained in
the city.
The jurors sat together on one
side near the front of the crowded
church. The flowers they had sent
mingled with a bank of floral pieces
from organizations which was
spread in front of the altar the
width of the church.
Several defendants were scattered
through the church, some seated be-
side their attorneys, others alone.
Nearly all the lawyers on both sides
were there. There were even recent
witnesses in the celebrated case.

NAL statement:
THE film, which has been de-
scribed by the press of this country
as one of the finest sea pictures
ever made, was actually shot at sea
with merchant navy men playing all

Civilian Production
In All Other Areas
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

In an effort to marshal all pos
slole manpoWer to the production
of weapons urgently needed at
the battle fronts, Government
field officers were under orders
today to ban any new authoriza-
ton of civilian production for 90
days in 112 of the Nations lead
| ing industrial areas.
The order was issued by the War
Production Board, the War and
Navy Departments and the War
Manpower Commission. In addi-
| ton to cutting off the output OF
consumer goods in main manufac-
turing centerS, it imposed a check
rein on production for the home
front in all other areas.
| War agency heads also revived
! the drastic directive issued last sum-
mer by War Mobilization Director
| ByrneS which permits an actual
reduction of employment in So
called less essential industry where
such action is held necessary to
obtain manpower for war plants.
The new order, which sets back
reconVersion plans for months, re-
suited from the recent doubling Of
military requirements for small
arms ammunition, coupled with the
fact that production is tagging in
a half dozen other Categories Of
munitions.

war agencies declared that 1T is

. classified by the War ManpoWer
; Commission as group l manpower
+ shortage areas and "A other cities,
where production either is tagging
or has been stepped up sharply be-
cause of new battle needs.
No exception was allowed in the
order for small manufacturing

month-old spot authorization" plan
under which fieldseff7eers were en-

The spot" plan was conceived by

cut back.
