of the interest benig already shown

Kent 10 Resume Stant
In Gem Theft Trial
OF Mrs. DoImage
Retired Attorney Soysss
Defendant Had Key. :
Il To His Apartment

T Otis Beal Kent, wealthy retired
tax lawyer, was to take the witnes.
stand again this afternoon in Dis.
trict Court for further cross ex.
animation in the trial of Mrs
Frances Dolmage, SO. charged with
the theft of his antique jewelry COL
lection valued at $4,000.
Mrs. Dolmage, wife of a dentist
has steadfastly denied the theft.
The jewels have not been recovered.
Mr.. Kent testified he discovered
the theft when he entered his apart
ment at 1920 pm. July %, 1943
Much Of the testimony had to do
with the locks to the front door of
his apartment at Sixteenth and L
streets NV. Mrs. Dolmage, who had
called frequently on his mother dur
ing the illness which preceded her
death late in 1912, had a key to a
jimmy proof lock he had installed
on the door, he said. The regular
apartment house lock, he explained
could be opened by any one with a
piece of celluloid film.
He denied on cross examination
that he called his second bedroom
where the jewels were stored "the
cats ROOM"
1T is where keep my pets, Mr..
McNeill," the witness said. II never
refer to them as cats"
In his opening, Assistant United
States Attorney Bernard Margolius
said the woman elevator operator
OF the apartment house in which
Mr.. Kent lived would testify she
had seen Mrs. Dolmage descending
the stairs with a black leather bag
on the morning the theft was dis
covered.
Mr.. McNeill said in opening that
he would show that Mr.. Kent
charged his client with the theft
after she had refused to aid him
defend breach of promise suit.

around him. He lay unconscious for
two hours. Then he came to and
followed a red flare to the wrecked
plane
At this air base it is believed the
only reason he was not killed in
the fall is that he must have landed
with his feet fiat on a muddy down
slope, making his experience prac-
tically that of the ski jumper. That
was on his 18th mission. Jones
apparently was none the worse for
the experience. He was on two
more missions in the next few days.
Then more serious injuries were
found which made it necessary to
hospitalize him. He only got out
of bed two weeks ago. He has been
able to put in seven missions. The
last thing Jones does at night and
the first thing in the morning, say
his barracks mates, is to look at
the weather. If it is overcast and
there is no mission he is disconso-
late. If it is fair he begins to in
quire hopefully whether some gun
ner is not sick or AWOL so that
there will be a place for him.
The mission from which he has
returned today was rough one.
A piece of fax tore a hole nearly
a yard long in the ship not more
than 2 feet away from him.
Those Jerry fighters" he says,
seemed to be sitting up there look
ing especially for me-"
1t Is possible for Sergt. Jones to
catch up with his crew because their
plane is now lead ship and only
goes on every fifth mission. He is
almost certain to finish with at least
a few of the men with whom he
came nuerSeaS

Ready for Vote

Teacher Bonus and
Service BoIIot Today
By the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS. Md. Mar. 9-The
administrators service vote and
teacher bonus bills were ready for
final action today by the Maryland
State Senate, which already has
beaten down repeated attempts to
amend them. including one Repub-
lican effort to repeal the Declara-
tions Of Intentions Act.
The upper chamber Of the Gen.
eral Assembly sent four bills to the
passage stage last night and they
were expected to be adopted and
sent during the day to the House,
where two of the measures already
are under consideration.
The attempt to repeal Maryland's
Declarations Of Intentions Act,
which requires new residents to de-
clare their intentions of becoming
citizens a full year before they are
permitted to register to vote, came
during consideration Of the service
vote bill ,os--.,
Senator Kimble, Republican. Of
Allegany, whose repeater now rests
in committee, offered the amend
ment to force q vote ON the pro-
posal-long advocated by CIO labor
forces in the State, among others.
Defeated 1A-I2.
The Senate voted 14-12 to kill the
repeater amendment. Among those
who voted for adoption were two Of
the three members OF the Rules
Committee, which must decide
whether Senator Kimble's bill will
be considered at the special session.
They were Senators Funk, Demo.
crat, of Frederick, majority floor
leader, and Davis, Republican, Of
Caroline, minority leader.
The four bills ready to be passed
by the Senate we're:
Two on service voting, one NERAL
izing the present law, the other vali-
dating applications for absentee
ballots now on hand for the pri-
mary and general elections.
Riders Defeated.
One to extend the $50 monthly
school teacher bonus from May /,
1914, to July /, 1945, excluding the
months Of July and August.
One to pay State employees earn
ing less than 5000 year q bonus
|of $3.50.
Repeated attempts, mostly from
Senate Republicans, were made to
change or attach riders to the bills.
While measures still we're at the
amendment stage, the Senate also
rejected, 1910, a Republican pro-
posal that the Senate pay the teach
er bonus cost for 10 months rather
than 8, and the counties for two
months rather than three.
It also. turned down, 20-5, q pro-
posal TO increase the State EN-
ployes' bonus from $180 to $500.
