For Dog Quarantine
Arlington Action Asked
As Robes Cases Rise

A 45-day extension of Arlington

Arlington has suffered a sharp
rise in rabies cases. Nineteen posi-

last six weeks and four dogs were
discovered to be rabid on one day,

County Manager Frank c. Hanra-
han said yesterday that additional
facilities for picking up dogs will be

now in use should prove insufficient.
DIR. Beachley asked public CO.

regulations and suggested rabies in
oculations, which, although ad-
mittedly only 80 per cent effective,
are preventive measure.
Meanwhile, warnings were sent to
the parents of Is Arlington nursery

to a rabid dog at school operated
by Mrs. Arthur Raper, 1905 North

Women Lawyers Protest
Curb by Baltimore Bars

BALTIMORE, April 1.-The wom-
en- barristers of Baltimore yesterday
berated the barring of unescorted
women from hotel bars, charged
that Baltimore is backward and
promised to seek revocations of LIQUOR
license If the practice continues.
The Women's Bar Association put
its stand in the form of resolution
OF protest to the Board of Liquor
License Commissioners, which didn t
seem to feel it could help much.
The committee said the organiza-
ton planned to TASK that. the
licenses of such hotels be revoked
unless this discriminatory rule is
abolished"
The hotelmen put it this way:
Bars are crowded, help is short and
such women make trouble, whether
Intentionally or not.
AS for the Liquor Board, Member
Delano' Ames said it had no juris-
diction because "a liquor license
carries the privilege of selling to

Of their enemy and as a rule these

will destroy boldness of conception

for a tolerance of the actions of

Frankly, would like every citi-
zen to be informed concerning the

whoever started that crack about
World War veterans being too out
moded for this new kind of war
fare, didn't reckon with Pvt. Nicho-
las Minue, "A, of Carteret, N. j..
a one-man Army in himself, who
first learned about bayoneting back
in 1918.
All this regular doubhboy did
at Medjez-El-Bab, Tunisia, on
April %, 1943, to earn the coveted
Congressional Medal of Honor, was
to bayonet to death 10 Germans,
silence two machine guns and die
valiantly in ope-man charge
against the enemy.
Last Memorial Day his mother
proudly wore the Purple Heart, re-
ceived shortly after her sons
death, at municipal ceremony in
Carteret. Today, at Fort Du Pont,
Del, troops stood at attention when
she received the posthumous award
of the Nations highest decoration,
from Maj. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem, ir.,
18th Corps Commander.
The War Department told about
the deeds of this Czechoslovakian
born American who loved his adopt
ed land so much he gave his life for
it. He volunteered for the act that
cost him his life, just as he volun-
teered to fight for his adopted land
in 1917-18.
1t was year ago, as his company
moved up in the dark to attack
enemy dug-in positions from 200
to 800 yards away, that Pvt. Minue
advanced with the alert, practiced
movements of trained infantry
man.
The rain of bursting shells, the
tattoo of machine-gun fire, with
steady artillery barrage, was so con-
tinuous that the advance elements
were pinned down." the War De-
partment said. Heavy enemy
f1anking fire threatened to annihi-
late the forward squads. Pvt. Minue
realized the precarious position his
comrades were in and unhesitat-
ingly advanced on the enemy dug
in positions.
witnesses of his advance cannot
understand how he succeeded in
getting through the hail of enemy
| fire to reach the entrenchments.

Connecticut Women
lndustrioIist Called
Peril to War Effort

Vivien Kellems, Connecticut war
contractor who recently stepped
into the limelight by fitting with the
Government over income taxes, was
described to the House yesterday as
the sweetheart Of a Na1 agent In
Argentina.
Representative Coffee, Democrat,
Of Washington read love letters he
said Miss Kellems, who opposed
Representative Luce in the 1942
Connecticut Republican congress
sional race, exchanged with Count
Frederick Karl Won Zedlitz, a resi-
dent Of Buenos Aires. Telling his
colleagues that Miss Kellems pos
sessed war equipment blueprints "of
inestlmable value to the enemy" the
legislator demanded that the JUS
tice Department put an end to this
incredible conspiracy"
The Associated Press reported Ia
ter that Miss Kellems, who lives in
Westport, Conn, was en- route to
Toronto for speech, and could not
be reached for comment on the
Coffee allegations.
Called Menace to War Effort.
Without disclosing how he OBJ
tanned 1t. Mr.. Coffee said one letter
from Miss Kellems to Count Won
Zedlitz was signed, "Au my love
sweetheart, Vivien."
II say that Vivien Kellems Is q
menace to the American war ef-
FORT" Mr.. Coffee shouted. This
woman, who Is in constant touch
with our hated Nazi enemies-this
woman. the lover of a Hitler fifth
column spy in Argentina, admits by
her own statements, that right now
in Connecticut, she Is engaged in
work for the armed forces Of a high
ly restricted and confidential ma
ture."
Miss Kellems, whose Connecticut
plant makes Signal Corps equip
ment, announced in January she
had skipped her December Is In
come tax payment and would use
the money to set up postwar re-
serve for her firm She made
speeches urging other businessmen
to do the same thing, bringing from
Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
thau the remark:
ITO advise citizens to refuse to
pay taxes-particularly in time of
war-smacks of disloyalty."
Charged Boondoggling.
In turn, Miss Kellems charged
that the Government had squan-
dered billions on 'boondoggling."
Later she announced that she had
made one payment on her taxes
because she found she had some
ready cash. She denied advocating
anything illegal, saying the law per-
mitted postponement of taxes when
a person could not pay. To pay in
full at once, she insisted, would
spell bankruptcy.
She also charged she was being
violently, smeared" and denied a
statement, which she attributed
then to a radio commentator, that
she was engaged to marry Count
Won Zedlitz.

Three missing weapons-two re-
volvers and an Army carbine-
were sought today by military
authorities at the German pris-
oner-of-war camp near Trini-
dad, where prisoners were found
to have cached crude knives and
homemade liquor.
1t. Col. Lambert M. Cain, camp
commander, disclosed yesterday that
a search for the weapons, missing
from an escort guards quarters
since last week, melted prisoners to
stage what he termed as a sit
down strike" in protest against
search of the prisoners compound.
Sees Criminal Carelessness."
The strike began Saturday and
ended Sunday without violence, Col.
Cain said, when he ordered that
their food be withheld.
The search disclosed a quantity
of homemade wine" made from
fermented raisins and other fruits
and knives fashioned from old razor
blades and pieces of wood, the camp
commander said.
"The fact that guns are missing
Is bad thing" Col. Cain asserted.
1T was criminal carelessness on the
part Of some one"
Prisoners Radios Examined.
The commander also reported that
prisoners radios had been examined
at Trinidad warehouse for pos
sible shortwave attachments, but
none was found. He explained that
prisoners were allowed to have
longwave radios" and added they
had been purchased locally.
Discovery of an escape tunnel at
the camp last October led to an
investigation and to the recapture
of six German fugitives. An amor
Gus association between some pris-
oners and Japanese-American wom-
en- employed on farms in the Trini-
dad area was discovered when pic
lures taken from one of the recap
tured Germans showed q warm en-
brace.

Federal Bureau of Investigation,
still investigating that episode, have
