Allies Capture Town
As Encirc|ement Of
Faenza Is Pushed
BY the Associated Press.

ROME, Dec. 9.-Eighth Army
troops, rapidly completing the en-
circlement of Faenza, have captured
San Prospero on the west bank OF
the Lamone River a mile and a half
due west of the Bologna -Rimini
highway stronghold.
Capture of San Prospero repre-
sented an advance Of approximately
3 miles from Pideura, around which
Allied headquarters today described
the fighting as particularly bitter .
German troops already had been
reported pulling back west of Fa-
enza toward the next large highway
center OF Imola, 8 miles from Fa-
enza and only 10 from the Pc VAL
ley prize city of Bologna.
Elsewhere on the front activity
yesterday was confined to patrol op-
erations. headquarters said.
The withdrawing Germans were
putting up stiff resistance in an at
tempt to prevent the outfianking
movement on Faenza.
Allied fire was directed across the
Lamone north of the Bologna-Ri-
mini highway, where the Germans
had dug in on the west bank of
the stream.
The bridgehead over the Lamone
below the highway was already 5
miles deep in some places.
In the bloody battling for Pi-
deura, enemy infantry and armor
counterattacked and recaptured the
village yesterday. The Nazis held it
most of the day in vicious house to-
house fighting until Allied tanks
and troops regained control.
The east bank of the Lamone
north of Faenza has been cleared
as far as 3 miles south of Mezzano
and Allied patrols were active all
the way to Faenza itself.
Activity on the 5th Army front
was slowed by the weather. Heavy
rains begged down troops and winds
as strong as so miles an hour pre-
vailed in the mountainous terrain
south of Bologna.

Fancy Names Given
Veterans Neuroses

Inventing fancy" names for vet
Grams psychoneurosis-such as bat
tie fatigue" of devoting
energy to educating the public that
q serviceman with a psychiatric
problem is by no means dangerous,
with criticized at city-wide educa-
tional conference today by DR.. Win
fred Overholser, superintendent of
st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
THE public has a lot of unwar-
ranted prejudice against any man
labeled with psychiatric dag
nosis," DIR. Overholser said. But
the outlook of these men is very
hopeful, often more hopeful than
civilians we have in the hospital"
About 1900 men and women with
service records were admitted to the
hospital last year, DR.. Overholser
said. A large number of these cases
were discharged within three
months because they had specific
ailments as result of their service
experience and were relatively easy
to treat, the doctor added.
The conference at the Interior
Department for teachers from local
schools and colleges is sponsored
by more than a dozen educational
institutions.
DR.. Roy j. Deferrari of Catholic
University, Ralph M. F1ynt and DR..
Harry A. Jaeger of the ONCE of
Education warned the group that
an educational program on veterans
psychological problems would be
needed more on college campuses
than anywhere else. Educators ex-
pect about 10000 service men and
women to avail themselves of edu-
cational privileges under the CT
Bill of Rights within the next seven
or eight years, Mr. Flynt said. Both
the faculty and the other stu
dents will have to exert themselves
TO make the veterans progress as
normal and easy as possible, Mr..
Flynt said.
A spirited debate between a gen.
eral and college professor on how
soon the question of universal mill
tary training should be settled was
the opening topic of the conference
last night. The officer, Maj. Gen.
Walter L. Weible, director of mill
tary training for the Army Service
Forces. urged immediate considera-
tion of the problem. The professor,
Dean Harold Fox of the George
Washington University School of
Education, doubted that the ques-
ton should be settled during the
heat of war.
Universal military training, If
implemented as a national policy
should make no loss of time in
getting under way with the termina-
tion of selective service" Gen.
Weible declared.
On the other hand, many edu-
Gators, Dean Fox declared, can
not help remembering that once be-
fore this Nation entered upon hasty
wartime legislation which later had
to be repealed. Whatever provi-
sions are now made for national
security" he continued, may be

centage dropped until in 1899 1t was

of the 181, ,000, 900 900 produced.
Reviewing list price slashes eff
fected In January and February,
1888, the opinion continued:
THE evidence strongly tends to
show that the cut in list prices was
directed at competition of the 10
cent cigarettes. The subsequent re-
ductions in retail prices resulted in
victory over the 10-cent brands. In
January, 1884, the appellants raised
back the list prices. During the
period OF the last price reduction,
Camels and Lucky Strikes actually
were being sold at loss by Reyn-

forced to curtail all its normal bust

in the early 18th century
and in that long ago before
Columbus they made a grisly
ceremony of mass burial of
the dead, climaxed by the
sacrifice of children by fire.
1t was my privilege to
come upon the ossuary, as
such graves are known, with
its evidence of the pagan
custom in the skulls and
other bones of Is men,
women and children. And I
could not help recalling the
writings of Pere lie Jeune, a
Jesuit priest, who in 1886 wit
messed the Feast of the Dead
among the Huron Indians of
southern Canada, and others
who described similar rites
among the Muskhogeans of
Virginia and the Carolinas.
Virtually all tribes had
weird practices in disposing
of their dead. Some in the
Midwest placed the out
stretched corpses in trees.
Some buried their warriors
on the surface of the earth,
covering them with stones.
In parts of the Ohio and the
Mississippi valleys the chiefs
were Inferred in long tombs
and covered with earthen
mounds. The Menominees Of
Lake Michigan laid away
their dead in houses that re-
sembled diversified kennels.
Most of the eastern AL
gonkins observed the "flexed
burial" that is, entombment
with the knees drawn up to
the abdomen. But from the
discoveries which ] made
with my colleagues, Kenneth
Givan, Donald Dimond and

parent that the Indians of

custom of the HuronS and
the Muskhogeans.

Citizens Win Step
In zoninq Fiqht Here

Azoning fight begun in 1941 over
the proposed erection of an apart
ment building at Sixteenth and
Shepherd streets NV, yesterday
was left open for additional action
through ruling of the United
States Court of Appeals.
AS a result of the appellate courts
ruling, some $50 citizens who were
fighting against the building Of the
proposed apartment building are to
be allowed to intervene in the case
as well as to appeal the case to the
higher court, with complete records.
When the case first came before
the Zoning Commission in 1941 the
commission zoned the area under
classification which would not
have permitted erection of the
apartment building. Harry Poret-
sky, however, took the case to Dis
trict Court and the latter tribunal
enjoined the Commissioners from
enforcing the zoning order and or
dered that the piece of land in ques-
ton be restored to residential Co.
foot "A" Area, which permits the
erection of apartment houses.
The appellate court in granting
the citizens the right to intervene,
reversed and remanded the decision
of District Court. The appellate
court decision was written by JUS
tice Thurman Arnold. Chief Justice
D. Lawrence Groner and Justice
Justin Edgerton heard the case with
him. The $50 citizens are repre-
sented by Attorney H. Winship
