Army Charge

Washington, Jan. 18-(UP)-The
hearing before an Army reclassifica-
ton board of charges against WAC
1t. Virginia Wight of Philadelphia
recessed until p. IN. today after
a one-hour meeting.
The board had denied the request
Of James J. Laughlin, attorney for
the pretty, 24-year-old, red-haired
WAC officer, for a postponement
while he concluded some business
In local civil court. But after the
meeting for an hour the board re-
cessed.
The meeting was closed and the
corridors around the hearing room
in the Pentagon building were
guarded by military police to keep
reporters and others away.
The Army never has announced
the charges against 1t. Wight, but
they have been reported to include
fraternizing with WAC enlisted per-
sonnet, giving incorrect information
to superior officers. refusing 10 obey
orders, and wearing civilian clothes.
But Lieutenant Wight has made 1t
known through her attorney that
she was fighting the charges.

Jueo Marshal
Hurt umor

London, Jan. l8.-(UP)-The
Cairo radio reported today that
Marshal Josip CTito) Brozovitch had
bene wounded and his Jugoslav
partisan headquarters announced
that German forces striking at the
Lifeline islands" along the Dalma-
tian coast had landed on Brac be-
low the key port OF Split.
The Cairo broadcast, not con-
firmed Immediately in any other
quarters said Brozovich was wound
ed in military operations in Monte
negro. By coincidence or other
wise, the report came from the
seat Of the J;gos!ev government in
exile. which is at odds with the
paitisans.
The Germans threw formidable
strength against the Adriatic Islands
sending strong marine units ashore
on Brac. Reports from zagreb
said the island OF Sulet, east Of
Brac. was occupied by the Ger
mans, who wiped out the partisan
garrison.
Brac and Sulet cover the port Of
Split to the south, and their loss
would represent a serious blow to
the partisans. Brac Is one Of the
island outposts to which Allied
gun runners carried supplies across
the Adriatic to the partisans.
German offensives In Bosnia and
Croatia also appeare dto fibe gain
ing momentum. Partisan units
armed with anti-tank guns were
fighting desperately to prevent a
break through by strong German
motorized forces in the West Bos-
MAN hills.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

London, January Is. =
(UP) Prime Minister
Churchill, bronzed from the
African sun and completely
recovered from his attack of
pneumonia, returned to Lon
don today and went directly
to Commons to resume full
leadership of Britain in the
midst of Allied preparations
for the opening of a western
front.
He told a wildly-cheering
house that he hoped to make
a statement in the near
future On the progress of the
war, including the campaign
in Italy, but asked to be given
"some latitude" regarding
the date.
The prime minister, who was
stricken with pneumonia in North

lord: Marshal Sir Charles F. A..
Portal, chief OF the air staff, and
Gen. Sir Alan Brooke, chief Of the
imperial general staff-the heads OF
Britain's three fighting services.
Only an hour after he left his
train, Churchill sprang dramatic
surprise on commons by emerging
from the shadows behind the speak
er's chair as though nothing unusual
had happened and walking briskly to
his seat on the front bench. He
carried a large bundle Of typewrit-
ten papers.
His appearance touched of cres-
cendoing roar Of cheers that reached
its climax as he rose to answer a
series Of routine questions, none OF
which pertained to pressing military
or political matters.
