have included some of the toughest

Brunswick, Munster, Schweinfurt

On the way to Brunswick the
supercharger on his plane failed to
function and it was necessary to
turn at Hanover and come out
alone. A lone bomber is supposed
to be "easy meat" for German

1t. William S. Blount, %, whose
wife and 16-month-old son live at
1901 Evarts street NE, has just
finished 18 missions over the con-
tinent as navigator of a heavy
bomber. He spent both Christmas
and New Years eve in the air. The
latter mission, over target in
France, was difficult one. says
Blount, a graduate of Fort Union
Military Academy.
Shot in Both Legs.
The hardest air battle, in which
he has taken part, was over Gelsen-
kirchen when his craft got into a
shower of fax just over the tar
get and came out of it like sieve
The pilot, 1t. Shelton H. Shoesmith
of Providence, was shot in both legs
and the ship, First Love. was
brought back to England by the CO.
pilot.
On this trip. 1t. Blount says, he
had his first attack of the bends. -
This is a condition encountered
fairly frequently at around 10000
feet and is very much the same as
the condition suffered by deep sea
divers. When the latter come to
the surface and pressure is released,
nitrogen begins to form bubbles
in the blood These bubbles tend
to settle in the joints and cause
intense pain. On rare occasions
they may hit vital spots and cause
death. The same thing may hap
pen to an airman going from normal
atmospheric pressure to a region of
very low pressure.
"It seemed as if my knees had
swollen to twice their normal SIZE"
says Blount, "and my joints ached
as if from very bad case of rheu-
matism. But after we got down to
about 1000 feet I didn't notice it
any more"

vestigated by the American Legion

Mr.. Tauber, it was learned, msin-
tains an Office in his own name at
1926 Shoreham Building as local
representative of the Aurex-W Wash
ington Co., firm selling hearing
aid devices.
When asked today why he was
using the Washington Loan e. Trust
Building address, Mr.. Tauber said
that he was afraid that if mail con-
corning the book were sent to his
own Office it would be mixed up
with his other business mail.
He told The Star that he was the
agent of publishing company
which he declined to name-and
that he had mailed out the 1000
odd letters in an effort to get a
cross-section of reaction and de-
termine whether public interest
would justify the proposed book.
Mr.. Tauber said that he had been
questioned by the Better Business
Bureau. He explained that he had
refused to give them detailed in
formation as to his plan until he
was assured the project would be
justified from a business point OF
view. He denied that the persons
addressed would be solicited and
said that the book would contain
no advertising.

The Army and Navy today are
investigating an organization
here, which has sent letters to
more than 1000 parents of
servicemen throughout the Ma
ton asking for information
about them.
Many Of these parents, puzzled by
a request for extensive biographical
material on their sons in the service,
have consulted Washington sources
as to the background and purpose
of the organization. One such re-
quest was received by Representative
Crawford, Republican, of Michigan,
who turned it over to the Better
Business Bureau, which has con-
ferred with Gabriel c. Tauber, local
sponsor of the letters, which bear
the letterhead of the World War
Publishing Society
Acquitted on Fraud Charge.
Mr.. Tauber was acquitted here in
1942 by directed verdict of a
charge of conspiracy and using the
mails to defraud in connection with
indictments brought against 80 per-
sons, which grew out of charges that
more than 1000 persons were de-
frauded of stocks and bonds which
they exchanged for cemetery lots
near Muirkirk, Md.
The letters sent out by Mr.. Tauber,
which were examined by the Better
Business Bureau, tell parents that
1t has been decided to include their
son, "as we'll as complete account
OF his gallantry in action" in a book
to be called Heroes of World War
H." This volume, the parents are
assured, will have place of honor
in public and private libraries every
where"
Parents are requested to supply
Mr.. Tauber with full particulars of
their sons family connections and
military career as well as clippings
of newspaper articles about him. 8
Refuses to Give Details.
When questioned by the Better
Business Bureau, Mr.. Tauber, ac-
cording to officials there, refused
to give any details as to the men,
bership of the World War Publish
ing Society" or otherwise to name
his sponsors. He said he was repre-
senting publishing house in an
other city, but was not prepared to
name it.
The letterhead used by Mr.. Tauber
in his letters to service families gives
the address of the World War
Publishing Society" as 1908 WASH
ington Loan and Trust Building. The
office at that address is rented by
A. M. Toxins and his associate,
Mrs. Louise N. Miller, who direct the
Little Theater. Mr.. Toxins said
that he had given Mr.. Tauber
authority to use his Office as a mail
ing address. Mrs. Miller said she
hada no knowledge of Tauber's
letters.
Although the letter directed to
service families by the World War
Publishing Society refers to their
sons citation by the Army or Navy,
it appears that the communications
are reaching some parents to whom
the news that their son has been
decorated is surprise. Represent
ative Crawford's constituent, for
instance, informed him that, so far
as he knew, his son had not been
decorated.
In addition to the Army, Navy
and Better Business Bureau, the
mailing of these letters is being in

S30,OO0,0O0 District
Postwar Road Plan
Presented Congress
Engineering Work AIreod,
Programmed, Whitehursl
Tells House Committee

A 100000 900 postwar program oi
highway and bridge construction fol
the District was presented to the
House Roads Committee today by
Col. H. C. Whitehurst, District di-
rector of highways. The program
would provide suitable connections
to State and United States routes
entering Washington.
Col Whitehurst's statement was
In support of bill to provide for
postwar highways and bridges
through Federal appropriation of
$1,000 900 900 to be available at the
rate of billion dollars a year. The
District would share in this fund and
would be in a position to finance
its portion of the program If the
proposed legislation is enacted as
written, Col. Whitehurst said.
The District has programmed
the engineering work and will have
working drawings and specifications
ready by the fall for more than one
half of the total program" Col
Whitehurst said. This work and
other highway work In the District
must be performed during the post
war period and constitutes a total
program which cannot be financed
In its entirely from local revenue
I believe passage of the bill will ma
terially aid in our conversion to q
peacetime economy. The provisions
of the bill are thought to be
equitable
Col Whitehurst said that within
the District there are 955 miles OF
roadways, of which approximately
ITO miles are under Federal aid and
approximately 785 are secondary, OF
feeder, roadways.
"Our Engineering Department is
cooperating with the Public Roads
Administration, and a program has
been developed for our main arteries
which is designed adequately to meet
the requirements of the District
during the postwar era" Col. White
hurst pointed out.
All but two of the States have
already indorsed the proposed
legislation.

biIbo Drafts Measure
To Increase Penalties
On Major Offenders
New Senate D. c. Chief
Acts to Garry Out Plan
To Improve CopitoI >

! Chairman Bilbo of the Senate
District Committee said today he
was prepared to introduce bill
to require increased penalties for
repetitions of major crimes, as a
new step in his program to make
Washington a better and healthier
place"
He said he had ready for intro
duction an "habitual criminal
measure which would make manda-
tory application Of the maximum
penalty for commission of a second
offense of one and one-half the
maximum for third offense and
double the maximum for a fourth
offense.
One of the Mississippian's first
steps since becoming District Com
mittee chairman was to demand
that all of the Districts inhabited
alleys be evacuated by July l. This
proposal brought protests from a
number of other Senators that il
would be physically impossible to
provide other housing by July / for
the $4,000 or more alley dwellers.
While the present Alley Dwelling
Act, adopted 10 years ago, fixed July
! as the deadline on occupancy of
alley dwellings, Senator Burton, Re-
publican, of Ohio, chairman of the
subcommittee investigating the
housing program, and Senator Nc
Carran, Democrat, of Nevada, for
mer District Committee chairman
suggested that adoption of some
new measure will avoid any sudden
mass evictions.
Senator Bilbo, on the other hand
contended in statements to report
ers that his demand for sticking
to and strictly enforcing the present
alley dwelling law was "humani-
tartan move" He insisted it was
notorious fact" that great num-
bers Of criminal elements" had
come to Washington from nearby
States and that many had found
"havens" in alleys and other blight
ed sections.
Insisting he was "one of the best
friends the Negro has got" Sena-
tor Bilbo then renewed his pro-
posals that colored alley dwellers
move into farm occupations. He
followed this with discussion of the
plan he is championing for volun-
tary resettlement of Negroes in
West Africa. He asserted that more
than 100000 members of the COL
ored race have petitioned for ap-
proval of this plan.
