Have Heavier Task.
Eve have q much heavier task in

Resolutions Committee did not seem
to realize the devotion of the people
Of the District to good government

The District has produced as
large percentage Of war sacrifices
as any community represented by
votes in Congress. The District has
produced outstanding war heroes
We had hoped to encourage these
boys by giving them larger share
in the Government for which they
bled, and in some cases. died. We
failed to get national support, but
we will carry on as good soldiers on
the home front. However, we will

Ward S Files Suit Here
To Block WLB Order

Montgomery Ward & Co. filed
suit in District Court yesterday
against the War Labor Board to
enjoin it from enforcing an order
of June 6 requiring maintenance of
union. checkoff and observance of
certain seniority regulations In its
Chicago's plant and stores.
The WLB order calls for a con-
tinuance of the firms union con-
tract, which expired December 8,
l943, pending negotiations with the
union. In the event an agreement
is not reached between the COM
pany and the union, the continu-
ance Of the contract is to continue
until a further WLB order. The
order is similar to an earlier one,
which resulted in the Government
taking over in the firms Chicago
plant.
Yesterdays suit charges the board
acted arbitrarily without giving
Wards hearing as required by
the War Labor Disputes Act.
Wards also contended that the
boards order is illegal and that
maintenance of membership and
checkoff of union dues are pro-
hibited by the National LABOR Re-
lations Act.
tThe WLB order would require
Wards to discharge all en-
ployes who have resigned from
the union since December 8, l943,
according to Wards officials.)
Yesterdays suit is similar to
previous ones the company has filed
against the board. On March IA,
1914, and on June Is the boards
motions to dismiss suits filed by
Wards were overruled by Judge
T. Alan Goldsborough of District
Court.

Deaihbed Cries Give
Clue 10 Poison Deaths
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 27.-Anguished
deathbed pleas OF don't touch my
feet" uttered % months apart by
a mother and daughter, were the
tenuous clues which led the Brook
lyn district attorneys ONCE to an
nounce today that a double Staying
had been committed by strychnine
poisoning. ..-r...
Mrs. Gussie Berkowitz, 48, died on
August Is, 194l, of what was de-
scribed at the time as a coronary
occlusion, or blood clot. Her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Harriet B. Feldman, 20,
died on December 9, 1943, of an
illness diagnosed as "tetany super
induced by pregnancy" Another
daughter present when both women
succumbed, remembered and re-
peated their similar cries.
The two bodies were exhumed.
The report of DR.. Alexander O.
Gettler, city toxicologist, announced: ::
Enough strychnine to poison six
persons"
Members OF the family have been
questioned and released. Assistant
District Attorney E. A. Heffernan
said the investigation had reached
dead end, but that murder had
been committed is certain"
A third Berkowitz daughter, Mrs.
Beatrice Hofberg. a registered
pharmacist, was given credit by Mr..
Heffernan for starting the investi-
CATION.
Mr.. Heffernan said Mrs. Berko-
witz left an estate of $4,000, with
the largest share going to Mrs.
Feldman. Mrs. Feldman, he said
also left an insurance policy of
$4,000, of which her husband, Ben
Jamin, was the beneficiary.

Counteraccusaiion
Held No Divorce Bar

Two Court of Appeals decisions
were handed down yesterday which
may have an important bearing on
future divorce suits here.
In one case, "recrimination"
counteraccusation-was ruled not
an absolute bar to divorce" In a
decision affirming a District Court
divorce granted last year to Mrs.
Elizabeth Vanderhuff from her hus-
band, Charles r. Vanderhuff, on
grounds he had been convicted Of
a felony
The lower court, it was pointed
out in the opinion written by JUS
tice Thurman Arnold, refused to
make finding whether Mrs. Van
derhuf1 had committed adultery,
which she denied. The husband,
who was defendant in the lower
court, contended through his attor-
ney that the failure of the lower
court to make such finding con-
stituted error.
The appellate tribunal expressed
the belief that the Districts present
statute has changed the policy
which made recrimination an abso-
late bar to divorce" The opinion
pointed out that the old District
statute made adultery the only
grounds for divorce and enumerated
the several grounds under the new
statute. Mrs. Vanderhuffs address
was listed in the 200 block OF Third
street NV.
Court of Appeals ruling in an
other divorce case held that the
burden of proof lies with zone who
contends that a voluntary separa-
ton ceased to be voluntary"
This ruling affirmed a District
Court divorce obtained by Luther
C. Bowers, whose address was listed
as the HOO block of Eleventh street
NV. The opinion was written by
Justice Henry w. Edgerton. Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner and
Justice Thurman Arnold heard the
case with him. 42a sqerf

GRAND CANYON, Ariz.. June ~.
"A second rescue party prepared to
descend by muleback today into the
depths OF Grand Canyon hoping to
save by means of a harpoon gun
and a sectional wooden boat three
Army airmen who bailed out of q
heavy bomber and landed on isolat-
ed Tonto Plateau, 500 feet above the
Colorado River.
Four seasoned park rangers and
IL mules already had left the can
Iyon rim and moved down a pre-
cipitous trail toward the river bank.
The first party. due to reach the
gorge floor today, was laden with
equipment to establish an opera
tional base at the streams edge op-
posite the plateau. Rescue may be
effected Friday, Army authorities
said.
-Four hundred feet across the tor
rental waters the three marooned
men awaited instructions from low
flying planes directing their passage
from the top of the tableland to the
rivers edge. Planes yesterday
dropped supplies, food and noun
taineering equipment
The airmen-identified as Second

Flight Officer Maurice j., Cruick-
shank, jr., Lawrence, Mass, and
Corpl. Roy w. Embanks, Kalispell,
Mont.-parachuted from the bomber
at 2 am. last Wednesday after it
developed temporary motor trouble.
A searching plane spotted one of
the parachutes and later the strand
ed men fired green flares skyward
to indicate all were safe.
The rescuens hope to discharge a
cable across the river and rig up guy
wires to aid the boat pilot in riding
the rapids. The craft was built in
sections to facilitate transportation.
The harpoon gun came to the
canyons rim by special plane from
the naval air. station at San Diego.

laps Shift Air Power
Closer Home; Allies
Form Far East Force
~ the Associated Press.

ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD
QUARTERS, New Guinea. June q.
Formation of an Allied Far East
ern Air Force, coupled with indica-
tions the main japanese aerial
strength has been withdrawn from
the New Guinea-Solomons theater,
today high lighted the northwest
ward surge of the sky war.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur an
nounced the new air organization
will be headed by 1t. Gen. George C.
Kenney, commander of Allied Air
Forces in this area since 1912. The
Far Eastern force combines the 5th
Army Air Force, which has operated
in Australia and New Guinea, and
the 18th Army Air Force, main strik-
ing power in the Solomons, Rabaul
and Kavieng campaigns.
(This is the first Allied organi-
zation to bear the title Far East
ern" since surrender of the
Philippines. Defenders of that
archipelago, under Gen. Mac
Arthur, were called United
States Forces in the Far East.')
Aerial Opposition Lacking.
A spokesman for Gen. Macarthur
said indications are strong that the
japanese are pulling their air force
in this theater back to safer areas
probably the Netherlands Indies
and the Philippines.
Lack OF enemy aerial opposition
to current raids in this region has
been noticeable. The spokesman
said recently there has been vir-
tually no air opposition in the en-
tire New Guinea area. This con-
trasts sharply with the previous
japanese practice of reinforcing
airflelds after American strikes.
The title of the new air arm in
dicated it would be used for sus-
tanned attacks against new targets
in the Indies and the Philippines.
Recently-captured airfields are sew
eral hundred miles westward of the
airstrips employed by the 5th and
18th Air Forces in their early raids
against japanese strongpoints. Four
of them on the American-invaded
Schouten Islands, off Northern
Dutch New Guinea, are within
bomber distance of the Southern
Philippines.
Capital Man Heads 18th.
Under the new set-up, Maj. Gen.
Ennis c. Whitehead of Kansas City
will command the 5th Air Force.
He has been in charge of the 5th
Bomber Command since 1912. Mai.
Gen. st. Clair Street of Washing
ton will head the 18th.
Gen. Street, so, native of
Washington. has his home at Ill
Battery lane in Bethesda. He
was awarded the Legion of Merit
here last month for recognition
OF superior abilities as COM
mander Of the I'd and Sd Air
Forces between December, 1912,
and last January. He enlisted
IN the Army in 1850
Widespread bomber strikes con-
tinued Sunday, headquarters an
nounced. Eighty tons of explosives
hit airdromes on Noemfoor, 80 miles
west of American invaded Biak
Island. Truk and Palau in the
Carolines also were attacked.
In recent ground fighting in the
Maffin Bay area of Dutch New
Guinea, ATS japanese dead have
been counted. The total enemy
dead in the Sarmi-Maffin Bay area
is 1885. This area contains one of
the japanese resistance pockets by
passed in the Allied leapfrog jump
from Hollandia to Biak Island.
