 'One nurse was standing near the door when the bomb went of and was bowled over." she said. She got up and laughed and that's all there was to 1t. Eve,ycne was calm and there was absolutely no hysteria."
 The hospital commander, who saw the flares being carried toward the hospital area by a strong wind and ordered all personnel not on duty into air raid shelters, said "he did not think all this stuff is accidental"
 We were strafed right after we landed" he added, but that was all right bcause we were travelling in regular army trucks"
 Shrapnel
 A large chunk of redhot shrapnel tore through the operating tent but no one was injured. The surgeons kept up their work while the bomb- CTS came over and sent their car- goes screaming down the path of the flare.
 One landed between the nurses and doctors tents. Shrapnel slash- ed through the canvas and the sole nurse in the tent was injured bad- Iy, but the commanding offiter said she happens to DC the fighter type and she's doing very we'll"

A lovely background for the leader of an outfit which claims to represent the highest American principles, isn't 1t? When last heard of, adds Miss Fuller, this Col- lett was up in a tree doing bit of peeping- -tomming into the shower room of @ Cincinnati sorority He prob1y told the gendarmes (who hauled him out of the tree) that he was recruiting members for Peace Now .. With such man as Col- lett for an example-mebee there's an excuse for the Peace Now-Wows claiming that the JapS and Nazis are no worse than the rest of us, afterawy.

 Please mail to Cong. Rankin, House of Rep, Washington, D. O.: Since last April a man with a top hat has been visiting Berlin, Ham burg, Cologne and other German cities ..

He has dipped his undertaker's lid to 18 Nazi and Italian cities on bombing operations since he got the hat. He was born at Belgian Garden, Townsville, Queenland.

BOYS ARE CLEARED

The 20 boys from South Whining

bus and invaded Maffitt Village
last night, with vengeance in their
eyes were found not guilty OF as
sault in Recorders court yester
morning.
Judge H. Winfield Smith found
insufficient evidence to convict the
youths, who were charged with
violating the law by engaging IN
an affray and fighting with their
fists"
None of the Maffitt Village
youths appeared in court. 1t IS
understood that Maffitt Village po-
lice arrested none of the boys who
reside in that locality, it being
apparent that the Wilmington
youths were the aggressors. i"
The wholesale fight was said to
be "a return engagement.
A member of the sheriff's de-
partment, reporting the incident,
said that group Of Maffitt Viii
LACE teen-agers came to Whining
ton Sunday night and beat up
five local boys at Fifth and Castle
street.
Whereupon the local youths
promised "a return engagement
and named the place of meeting
for the affair.
Wednesday, the youths, some OF
whom are members of the High
school ROTC unit, and all of whom
are in school, boarded the bus
bound for their destination. They
alighted in front of the Hewes
building at Maffitt Village, where
their opponents, repeatedly 81
strong, were waiting.
''They proceeded to demonstrate
the manly art of self Defense the
sheriff's office representative de-
clared. Fists were flying and the

What hampered the progress of
the affray was that the Maffitt

Hewes building and could all but

the battle. They soon dispersed
