Service Free of Charge

A new consultation clinic for
Children suffering from cerebral
palsy will be opened Thursday by
the District Society for Crippled
Children in its headquarters at 1920
New Hampshire avenue NV.
The clinic, to be held one day a
month from 10 am. to pm, will
be headed by DR.. Winthrop Morgan
Phelps. medical director of the
Childrens Rehabilitation Institute
in Baltimore and counselor on
cerebral palsy for the National
Society for Crippled Children.
A survey made last fall by the
District society indicated there are
approximately 200 cases of cerebral
palsy in Washington.
Although statistics are lacking to
show the extent of cerebral palsy in
the country as whole, DR.. Phelps
has calculated that it is not far
behind infantile paralysis as a
major cause of disability among
children.
The clinic here will have facili-
ties for about Is consultations at
each monthly session. The service
will be offered free of charge, with
funds to finance the work pro-
vided by the society's annual Easter
seal sale.
Although there will be no cere-
monies in connection with the OPEN
ing of the clinic, number of
physicians and others will attend as
observers.
Situated on the second floor of
the New Hampshire avenue house
to which the society moved last
September, the clinic will be con-
Quoted in an informal atmosphere.
DR.. Phelps has requested that as
much as possible of the starched,
formal environment which tends to
frighten the children be eliminated.
Accommodations include a waiting
room, dressing room and bathroom,
as we'll as the clinic itself.
Most of the equipment, which is
simple, has been donated. An ex-
amining table was given by the
Abbot Vocational School, gowns
were provided by the parents of
cerebral palsy victim, and bed was
contributed by Miss Belle Meyers.
Members of the Gray Ladies will
assist with the patients.
Gases will be referred to the clinic
through the crippled children's
units at Children's and Gallinger
Hospitals, and from the Kiwanis
Crippled Children's Clinic.

Of the Medical Society of the Dis

tails Of the sinking Of an American
transport by an Axis submarine in
the North Atlantic with heavy loss
of life early in 1913 were revealed
for the first time today.
The vessel, the liner Henry r.
Mallory, which in peace time few
the Clyde-Mallory flag in the New
York-Galveston run, was in con-
voy carrying Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps personnel to ! a n d
when attacked during a snow storm

Nearly 300 service men were
missing when survivors were res
cued by the Coast Guard cutters
George M. Bibb and Ingram. Thir-
ty-eight members of the ships
crew of II, including the master,
also were lost.
Many service men were killed
below decks by the explosion Of
the torpedo. The heavy weather
made launching Of lifeboats n d

MARKET SCORES
MINOR ADVANCES
BY VICTOR EUBANK

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 The
stock market today finished a gem

From Monday on the principal
discussion in boardrooms was tho

GENTLY diversified to keep trends
pretty well baanced. AS the week
concluded there was little m r
wishful political thinking apparent
in the financial sector and some
timid purchasing was attributed to
this influence.

no 5-hour volume ever got within

Except for minor stumbles on
Monday and Friday, advancing
tendencies were the rule. The list
had its best day Thursday both in
activity and gains with rails, mo-
tors and blue chip industrials well
in front. Carriers were propped by
expectations of year-end disburse-
ments from several roads. Chicago
and North Western common was
the weeks liveliest mover on the
upside in the wake of an initial
S. payment and an equal amount
of the preferred which also pushed
ahead briskly.
Stocks of companies with recon-
version problems stiffened Tuesday
when Prime Minister Churchill
predicted a possibly much longer
war than had been looked f r.
Some skepticism over international
affairs, however, was an invest.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. a. R Profit
taking developed near the close Of
today's trade in grain futures and
prices turned fractionally lower af-
ter having held firm most Of the
session. Closing quotations were
near the days lows.
Prediction dullness prevailed
in all markets and the trade was
so light that prices were easily
influenced by relatively small or.
ders. I
Corn suffered the greatest losses
under the pressure of selling en-.
couraged by clear, cold weather
which will speed drying out and
harvesting of the new crop.
Wheat was up as much as half
a cent at the start but the advance
brought out increased offerin %
and prices eased back. Milling in-
terests were early buyers but their
wants were quickly satisfied. Some
local buying was stimulated by re.
ports Of army four purchases.
At the close wheat was unchang.
ed to Ia lower than yesterdays

Cash interests were buyers Of
rye at the start but the demand
was limited and o m m s o n

Admiral Hart Thinks Jap Army
MayHaveF orced NavyToFight

7, 1941. They have carried the war
right home to Japan's front door
ever since it began, and the frac-
ton of shipping which remains
must be far too small for Jap ne
cessities. The loss inflicted by our
submarines is probably the most
important single factor in our Sue
cess in advancing the war theatre
to where it now lies.
Another thing: AS everyone now
knows, not only sea power b u t
fighting power on the ground and
in the air absolutely depend upon
petroleum products. The only large
source of oil open to Japan has
been the East Indian fields. Our
own advance across the Pacific has
more and more imperiled that vital
supply line, and our last step into
the Philippines begins to cut down
to the very bone.
Everyone has realized t h at at
some stage in the war the Jap
fleet would come out with all that
it had left after the attrition which
our aircraft, submarines and sur
face ships have been inflicting up
on it from the Midway action and
the hard campaign in the Solo,
mons, on to the present time. The
question has been, when and where
would the Japs make their venture
and why?
There was in the picture the ele.
ment Of desperation. Japan's gen.
era1 situation was enough for tIst.
Also, there may have been a spe,
cial despair. The Japanese army
has lost many thousands, either
killed on the spot or hopelessly
marooned on islands in the Pacific,
whom the Jap navy was forced tc
abandon to their fate
It is quite safe to assume that
the army, in certain echelons, has
been blaming and demanding that
the Jap fleet get out there and
fight. However, it is not necessary
to fix upon despair as the motiva'
ton of the recent Jap navy adven
ture. The decision may have beer
coldly calculated.
Our naval forces covering the in
vasion of the Philippines had al
ready been long at sea. Particular
ly was that true for the Third fleet
which had been out there prepar.
ing the way for quite a time. Il
is an exacting and wearing task
to keep the sea in dangerous wa
tiers, with large complex fleet
through week after week.
Our Fifth fleet had to beat of
only one attempt by the Japs, but
it had to hold the ring for nearly
two months on end while Saipan
Tinian and Guam were being cap,
tured. The Third fleet had beer
doing the same thing under ever
more firing conditions because II
was still farther west.
That 24-hour constant vigil will
no let-up is firing for everyone or
board. For instance. consider the
filters who had been doing a com
bat mission at long range every
day. Even if no combat is involv
ed, it's quite a chore to fly several
hundred miles out from a carrier,
find the way back to wherever
she is and get safely on board
again.
No modern fleets have ever be-
tore kept the sea so continuously
under such exacting conditions anc
the Japs had ground for assuming
that the men of our fleet would be
tired. They probably were, but
as it seems to have turned out
not too tired.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-28

Another colonel and brave Flip pino picked up three American sol diers who had collapsed before the Japs could get to them.
 They placed them on a cart and started down the road toward San Fernando. The Japanese seized them as well as the soldiers, who were in coma, and horsewhipped them fiercely.
 Murdered
 "Along the road in the Province of Pampanga there are many wells. Half -crazed with thirst, six Filipino soldiers made a dash for one of the wells. All six were killed. AS we passed Lubao we marched by a Fil- pino soldier gutted and hanging over barbed-wire fence. Late that night of the fourteenth we were jammed into another bull pen at San Fer nando with again no room to lie down. During the night Japanese soldiers with fixed bayonets charged into the compound to terrorize the prisoners.
 Before daylight on April 15 we were marched out and IA of us were packed into a small narrow gauge box car. The doors were closed and locked. Movement was impossible. Many of the prisoners were suffering from diarrhea and hysentery. The heat and stench were mbearable. We all wondered if we would get out of the box car alive. At Capiz Tarlac we were talk en out and given the sun treatment for three hours. Then we were marched to Camp ODonnell, pri- son camp under construction, sur rounded with barbed wire and high towers, with separtae inner com pounds of wire. On this last leg of the journey the Japanese permitted the stronger to carry the weaker.
 T made that march of about 85 miles in six days on one mess kit of rice. Other Americans made The March of Death in twelve days, without any food whatever. Much of the time, of course, they were given the sun treatment along the way"

Sec'y Eden's Report Parallels One By U. s.
Continued from Page l.)

Because they asked for water, six Filipinos were shot, one was disem- bowled and others were bayonetted.
 Those who survived the bestiality were herded like cattle into small enclosures which reeked with the stench from the decaying bodies of men whom they once knew.
 In contrast to the staggering death toll described by the three of- ficers, the Japanese have reported only l,566 Americans as having died from disease in the camps in the Philippines.
 The army and navy made it clear that nothing in the report was hearsay-that 1t contained "only facts which the officers related from their own personal experience and observations"
 The three officers were Comdr, Melvyn H. Mccoy, U. s. N., h. dianapolis, now on duty in this country; It. Col. s. M. Melnik, Coast Artillery, Dunmore, Pa, now on duty in the Southwest Pacific, and the late It. Col. (then captain) William E.

 moning of grand jury to consider 8 murder indictment.
 The furnace of the office building was examined yesterday. but inveSti- gators did not say whether any evid- ence was found which would support the purported confession.
 What police were looking for, both in the furnace and at the dump, were trinkets or bone particles which would furnish evidence, other that Laws admission, that the girl was dead.
 Pawnshops also were visited in the belief Law might have disposed of jewelry taken from the body. All of his personal effects have been exam ined, but it was not known whether anything discriminating had been discovered.
 The only developments thus far were Laws alleged confession he en- ticed Miss Brancato into the cellar of the building, choked her into un- consciousness and then disposed of the body in the furnace--uSed dur ing the summer months to heat water for the building tenants.
 A signed statement from his wife that she had known of the crime since July 5, when Law said he kill ed her.
 A statement from states attorney Abraham s. U1lman that absence of the body would not prevent the prosecution of Law on 8 murder charge.
 No action had been taken against Mrs. Law, who was under no obliga- tion to testify against her husband.
