The modern girl who works in a war plant may seem to lack glam. our while on the job but who knows what a pair of coveralls can really cover? This is. Marilyn Tribolet, Fruehauf pin-up girl for Southern California.
 Marilyn is 19 years old, has been with the trailer company in Los Angeles for 16 months and, as the Spanish costume @ suggests, is of true Castilian and French de- scent. We might add that she doesn't work in this brief outfit but normally wears a trim slack suit,

District Court said the commits
sion had not proved its jurisdiction
over the area involved.
Supreme Court consideration of
the applicability of the Mann Act
here is based on a Government
appeal from the appellate court de-
cision which reversed the convic-
ton of Carmen Beach, 30-year -old
dress shop proprietor. who was SEN
fenced to one to three years in
prison and fined $4,000 in District
Court, in June, l943, for paying the
taxicab fare of prostitute To a
local IlOtel.
The 81 decision of the Court of
Appeals, read by Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner said Congress did
not intend this sort of transporta-
ton to come within the covering
of the law. The offense of pros
titution is so adequately covered by
District statutes, he said, that
about the only place in which the
act can be done without running
athwart of the local law is in an
anchored balloon"
In appealing, the Government
said this decision would complicate

District and all the Territories.
Contesting Supreme Court re-
view, Defense Counsel James R.
Kirkland and Nathan M. Lubar said
Congress did not intend the act to
govern here and that it's applica-
ton would be a boon to black

Off1cials said today that Holmes
would be held at Gallinger until Of
f1cials at the Virginia institution are
contacted and proceedings COM
pleted to return him there.
Today's indictment, returned by
the same grand jury that delivered
true bill against Mcfarland in the
Berrum Staying, charged him with
eight separate counts in Mrs. Fitz-
waters death Six involve murder
by a knife Or sharp instrument
while in the commission of criminal
assault or robbery. The seventh
charges criminal assault and the
eighth count is robbery.
The new indictment returned
against Mcfarland will not delay
his trial in January for the Berrum
killing. Whether he ever will be
tried in the lagoon killing depends
on the outcome of the Berrum case
Should he be convicted, it is un-
likely that he will be tried for Mrs
Fitzwater's death, the United States

for several years, obtained allotment

slstant United States Attorney John
w. Fihelly.
For that reason, Mr.. Fihelly said,
the Government delayed seeking an
indictment against Holmes, while it
awaited the results of the FBI in
vestigation.
Mr.. Fihelly said he was satisfied
the Government had an "airtight"
case against the marine in Mrs.
Fitzwater's death. There are two
especially strong links in the chain
of evidence against Mcfarland, vet
eran of half a dozen bloody battles
of the South Pacific, Mr.. Fihelly
declared.

There is no doubt about the

Mr.. Fihelly declared. He said the
Government was prepared to prove
the following sequence of events:
Mcfarland accompanied Mrs
FitzWater (who had been seen about
town in the company of servicemen
on other occasions) to the restaurant
that night and asked a waitress to
serve some beer. Informed there
was none, he wrote out on their
order slip two cups of coffee" On
the back of the slip he wrote the
name James B. Davis, first tank
battalion, New River, N. Car" Sub

It was revealed today that the

FBI said.

that the bureau was never fully
