Widespread in Virginia
By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Jan. l3.-Re-
spiratory misunderstanding infiu-
enza and grippe-in Virginia show
little sign Of abating, according to
the State Health Department, which
yesterday reported that new cases
totaled 1885 for the week ended
January 8, only a little below the
peak figure Of 5000 for the previous
week. =
DR.. H. H. Henderson, in charge
OF communicable diseases at the
health department, said the influ-
enza seige is now in its eighth week
The number of cases compares
with $50 in the same week of 1943
and a four-year median of 40. DR.
Henderson said the number of cases
reported was only a fraction of the
cases in the State. Many persons
he said, never report the attacks to
doctors and do their own nursing.
The greatest number of new cases
OF influenza was reported from
Tazewell County, which had 5o4, and
Alexandria, where 43l persons were
i'll. Richmond reported only 23
cases.

Marlboro Corporal Helps

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The 5th Army's newly ly-developed
beauty shops" are lifting the troops
morale in a big way and they're
going right along as the front line
moves forward.
These beauty shops" soldiers
have dubbed them revival tents
were planned by the 5th Army's
quartermaster group.
Immediately after the fighting
men are relieved temporarily from
front-line duty they stream to the
revival tents which were erected on
the banks of the upper volturno
River.
Less than an hour later, the bat
tered, mud-splattered men emerge,
showered, shaved and wearing COM
plete new uniforms.
The battle-weary troops can hardly
be recognized when they leave the
tents, said Corpl. Roland S. Wells,
Upper Marlboro, Md, assistant
shower foreman.
They are shining clean, all smiles,
and they feel good" he said.
For some soldiers the revival tents
have furnished the first shower

Grand Jury 10 Resume
Hopkins Letter Case
Hearing Tomorrow
Sparks to Testify
Again on Alleged ..
Boost for WiIIkie

A grand jury inquiry into the
authorship of a letter allegedly
written by Harry Hopkins to DIR.
Umphrey Lee, president of South
ern Methodist University of Dallas,
Tex, predicting Wendell WILKES
nomination for President. is to be
resumed at 1:30 pm. tomorrow.
After questioning DR.. Lee and C.
Nelson Sparks. former Akron (Ohio)
Mayor and the grand jury recessed
late yesterday to hear Mr.. Sparks
again tomorrow. Mr.. Sparks told
reporters before his initial grand
jury examination that he believes
Mr.. Hopkins wrote the letter. Mr..
Hopkins has denounced 1t as q
forgery.
DR.. Lee said he did not know Mr..
Hopkins or Mr.. Sparks, adding he
has been a Methodist minister for
the past 20 years and had never
taken part in political matters. Mr..
Sparks remained in the grand jury
room for an hour and DR.. Lee for
20 minutes. Both witnesses came
to Washington yesterday under sub
poena.
Denies Receiving Letter.
DR.. Lee publicly stated before his
arrival here that he had not re-
ceived the alleged letter. Henry
Schwienhaut and G. Maynard
Smith, special assistants to the At
torney General. indicated to re-
porters that the inquiry might be
directed into other channels, to
ascertain who sent the alleged Hop
kins' letter.
Mr. Hopkins, now a patient in
Bethesda Naval Hospital. will not
be subpenoed, officials said, for two
reasons: First, he is i'll, and, sec
ondly, Federal officials are invited,
not summoned, to appear before
grand juries. Mr.. Schwienhaut said
he was certain Mr.. Hopkins would
appear later, since he requested the
Department of Justice to make an
investigation.
Mystery Unsolved.
Thus, the mystery Of who penned
the disputed letter on White House
stationery, under date of Aug. II,
1943, remained unsolved today.
Mr.. Sparks turned the letter over
to the investigating authorities. He
declined to tell reporters how it
came into his possession. His mo-
tive in making the letter public
in a book he wrote, he said. was to
show the Republican party that
Wilkes theology doesn't differ
from that of the New Deal, and
that he should not be nominated
in 1914"
