rectly from home was written

companlon) on July 80. How

about as usual with you. With
fall coming on, suppose YOU

Please take good care OF
Yourself because l am looking
forward TO dashing out to see
YOU the first time / get to the
United States. even II only for
few days. Give my love TO
Naomi and the Prices"
The following letter, written on
Sept. 3 just after the invasion OF
Italy had begun, strikes the same
note
SPEAKS OF STRAIN
Dear Frances:
Your letter Of July 81 must
have taken roundabout way
10 reach me. IL arrived on the
evening OF Sept. 3. and by the
time YOU get this letter you will
know, from your papers, that IL
came at time when l was
under an unusual strain"
The fact that he answered IL
Immediately is further eviden2m
that Eisenhower LIKES 10 wr
letters 70 the folks a. home sn6
that he does indeed find much
needed relaxation IN doing so.
The letter continues
You have = knack of giving
me picture or my mother in
her home that is almost a. vivid
as II could sec her myself.
Aside from possessing a very
worth-w h II e philosophy, you
seem endowed with lot Of lit
erary ability.
WOULD ENJOY TRIP
1T IL quite true that mother
would like TO take a long plano
ride-sort Of iunketing trip.
Nothing would give me more
fun than to start on such q
Journey with her Maybe I
could get YOU To go along and
keep the diary.
II had already heard about
Art Hurd's death. Mamie had
heard Of II and sent me cable.
7 wrote Maude (Hurd's wife)
Immediately. His loss was not
only a shock but was a ire
mendous loss TO me He was q
very dear friend.
Thanks so much for your
letter. and when YOU get a
chance please give me a repeat
performance.
WARNS OF NIGHT LIFE
Scrawled in longhand is this
postscript
Love TO all the girls and re-
member me 10 Joe. Tell my
mother she must stop this night
lub life--I can't have her out
In the hot spots at 8 in the
evening"
+ Miss Curry laughed as she ex-
planned the reference in the post
script saying
"I had been down several eve,n
nings 20 see Mrs. EisenhoweH
hut every time she was out. -
finally had TO go during the
afternoon 10 find her In and I
wrote 20 tell Dwight about II,
thinking that would show him
better than anything else how
well she is"
You can't be with Mrs Eisen-
/ hover for long without realizing
how her famous son came by so
many Of his admirable qualities
his modesty. for instance.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-02-22

In nothing is Eisenhower
more typically American than
in the devotion he pays to his
mother. His letters to her are
concerned, not with his own sue
cesses and plans, but with the
simple, honey things which
make up her life, and on
Mothers Day he never fails 70
send her a telegram or cable
just the sort Of message millions
Of other American men, far
from home, send to theirs. One
such as the following for in
stance
Greetings to the best
mother in all the world
DWIGHT"

THIS LAND OF MINE" SHOWS
 AT CAPITOL

How patriotism turns a timid school teacher into fearless hero who signs his own death warrant in order to set an example for his fellow -townsmen, is the stirring basis of This Land Is Mine" the new Jean Renoir- Dudley Nichols production for RKO Radio with Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara starred. The film opened Sunday at the Capitol Theatre.
 Laughton enacts the part of the teacher in a little village some where in Europe. Like many of his friends he is afraid of the Maxi invaders who take over the area, even though their commander en- deavors to maintain peaceful re- lations with the villagers, and per- suades some of them to "collabor- ate" with Germany.
 Undercover resistance against the Nazis grows, and inevitably leads to conflicts and reprisals, and a thrilling story develops.

ALAN LADD SEEN
 IN spy PICTURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Dedicated to the proposition that American gangsters are gentlemen with hearts of gold in contrast to the mobsters of Nazi Germany, Paramounts swift and furious spy drama, Lucky Jordan opened at the goth Century Theatre yester- day
 Lucky Jordan is Alan Ladd's first starring picture and in this superduper thriller he shows why Paramount catapulted him to cine matic heights with rare haste.
 Ladd is supported by brilliant young newcomer, blonde and gor- geous Helen Walker. Helen, late of the Broadway stage, is a sure bet for stardom herself
 Ladd plays gangster who tries to put the fix" on the U. s. Army when his draft number comes up. When he finally lands in uniform he promptly goes AWOL, kidnaps a canteen hostess, steals an auto mobile and heads for the big city Then things happen aplenty

ATR0(ITY HOAX I5 UNCOVERED
 AT ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, June B. Stephen O. Whitman was termed a faker today in an announcement from the headquarters of the AL askan Department, which disclosed that Whitman admitted to military intelligence officers of the depart ment that his stories of Jap atroc- ities while he was held prisoner in the Philippines were pure fabrica- tion.
 The announcement said: Stephen O. Whitman, who recently appeared at several public gatherings in An chorage and who represented that he was held prisoner by Japs in the Philippines, and related atrocious stories about various acts committed by the Japs to civilians, has ad- mitted to military intelligence of ficers of the Alaskan Department stationed at Fairbanks that he has never been in the Philippines, and that the entire story of his capture is fabrication"
 Whitman represented himself here as a Baptist missionary, and ad- dressed the Rotary Club, the Am erican Legion, the Presbyterian Church and the Church of the Open Door. He carried credentials from high places in Washington which look bonafide.
 He said the Japs pulled his finger and toe nails out, but local resi- dents noted that they were not deformed
 A military Investigation launched here followed him to Fairbanks where his confession was obtained.

S(dvenger Land
Clause Invalid

Circuit Judge Friedman today
ruled invalid that portion Of the
state Scavenger act which pro-
vides that a majority of property
owners in a SUBDIVISION who have
bought land from the state under
the act can change or modify the
restrictions with approval Of the
state land board.
He ruled that restrictions can
be changed only if all the owners
agree or if title 10 all the land
rests with the state.
The opinion arose out Of a suit
for damages brought by George
Burns, 81, of l0935 Mogul against
Wallace F. Reed and the w. f.
Reed Development Co. Burns
bought a lot al state sale-ia
1929 in the Brookline subdivision,
which then was restricted TO
homes costing $4,000 or over.
The rest of the land then was
purchased by the Reed company
and by vote Of the subsequent
purchasers of lots. the restrictions
were lowered. Burns contends this
lowered his property value and
he asks $1,000 A jury will de-
eide the question of damages.
