GI Brings A Son To Wife

Philadelphia, Nov. 30 = (UPO- Private First Class Arthur E. Whitehouse, 30, was home today with the laughing baby NeWtound- land nurse bore him, but 1t was not certain that his wife, childless in their nine years of marriage, would accept the child and its father.
 The baby's mother didn't want her, Whitehouse explained, so he obtained a furlough to bring her home to his mother, and his Wife II she would take her.
 Ten-month-old Geraldine Mary played with her toes at the home of Mrs. Anna Whitehouse, who Sa!o she was happy to have a grand daughter.
 T didn't expect this kind of a Christmas present" the grand mother said as she bounced the wide-eyed child on her knee ana worried about how to lay in a supply of clothing with the present short age of infants wear.
 The soldier wife, Mrs. Rose White house, was not talking about the mater. She had known about the child before it appeared in the city of blue stockings and brotherly love.
 Whitehouse told her about the child in a letter, and asked permls- sion to bring the baby home. His wife, he said, did not answer his letter.
 Mrs. Whitehouse's family said she had not made up her mind about the matter. Her brother assumed the role as spokesman for the family
 T don't want to speak out ot turn" he said, but I'll admit that my sister is upset about this. If l had done thing like thta, l would n't expect my wife to take me back. But it is a matter for Whitehouse to talk over with my sister" he said.
 The paernal grandmother said It didn't matter because she intended to quit her job in war plant to take care of the child.
 Whitehouse, husky and rather handsome, who proposed to his wife while she was a salesgirl, was sent to Newfoundland in 1922. He said his attachment for the nurse was no. thing, "only an affair" growing out of the monotony of inactivity, until he learned that she was to have a baby. Then he wanted to do the right thing, he said,
 She didn't want the baby, and sch didn't want me-" Whitehouse said. So he obtained the permission of a Newfoundland court to bring the baby home, and 32-day fur lough for the mission.

 Miss Churchill, who celebrated her first night in Hollywood last Aug. 5 as one of the battling guests in the bloody free-for- r-all in DorSey'S swank apartment, admitted it was her purse that precipitated the bat tie.
 "When we went back t oget it Jon patted Miss Dane and apologi- zeG for bothering le-," she told a grand jury. Miss Dans hit him in the nose with the purse, Tommy poked Hall, and then everything was all confused"
 Miss Churchill sail. she lost three handfuls of permanently waved curls in her tussle with Mrs. Dorsey and she exhibited the bald spots the size of a 50-cent piece to prove it.
 Miss Churchill wanted to tell her story and get it over with. She was pee?ad because the trial was hold irg Up her marriage All that pre- vented the state from presenting its star witness was the selection of a few alternate jurors in case one of the II feminine and one male reg ulars becomes incapacitated.

 Participating in the bloody fight" ing on Normandy, the crew of the Be Back routed some Germans ir field only to trun into a Mark " Panther tank. They knocked out the Nazi tank in hard slugging match but again ran into Mark VI Tiger tank. Leaving this tank blazing, the Be Back" unluckily ran into land mine and blew track.
 The Germans then captured the valorous American tank, repaired it, painaed out the Allied insignia, sub stituted 8 cross and swastika and sent it into action against our tropS.
 For two weeks it eluded all att tempts at recapture and the Amer ican battle cry was ''getback 'BC Back" Finally CT Joe spotted the captured tank in hedgerow, hurled a projectile and ended its career in the service of the enemy. Soldier mechanics of the Ordnance Department rehauled it, painted or brand new American star, and to. day Be Back" is back in battlI against the Germans.
