MANCHESTER, N. H., Oct. IA
suit with writ of attachment for
$500, 900 alleging breach Of trust was
brought In Hillsboro Superior Court
yesterday by Navy Capt. Edmund
r. Jewell against Annie r. Knox,
widow of former Secretary OF the
Navy Knox, and the Union-Leader
Publishing Co. of Manchester.
The bill of complaint alleges that
Capt. Jewell was induced to leave
his position as general manager and
acting publisher of the Washington
Times Herald to come to Manches-
ter in 1888 to enter the employ of
the Union Leader Co., which pub
fishes the Manchester Union and
Leader.
It contends that the move was
made under an agreement by former
Secretary and Mrs. Knox to provide
that all of their stock in the COM
pany should go to Capt. Jewell upon
the death of the survivors of Frank
Knox, Annie r. Knox and her sister,
Adelia Reed.
Since the death of her husband,
the bill alleges, Mrs. Knox refused
to recognize the agreement and has
threatened to dispose of the stock
and to oust Capt. Jewell as editor
and publisher of the paper.

Peaceful Life for Eastern High
Aim of Ex-Morine Principal
Wants All Of Pupils
To Study Physics,
Moth, Languages

Students of Eastern High School,
perhaps wondering what 1t would be
like to have an ex-captain of
Marines as principal, are finding out
that John Paul Collins, who came
back from the Pacific a couple of
months ago to take over the Job, is
most interested in the ways of peace.
The 48-year-old captain, who saw
the war at close range, wants his
pupils to forget 1t for a while.
Marines are what he doesn't want
us to be-" one of them said. HE
wants us to go to class regularly and
live peacefully"
Saw Boys Aged Beyond Years.
Mr.. Collins said today that the
Importance of living peacefully" is
what he learned in the invasions of
the Gilberts, Guam, Tinian, Saipan
and Two Jina. He saw boys aged
beyond their years. He wants his
students to go to class now with
no Interruptions, no war activities
to make them restless"
For one year I want them to
shut out the war world and get
back their balance" he said.
There's been too much pressure on
these children-unavoidable, but
still pressure that robs them of the
educational quiet they ought to
have"
Learned Ideas in Marines.
After the peaceful year Mr.. Col
lins has some other ideas he got
from the Marines that he would
like to put into practice. He wants
all his students to study a lot more
physics and math to help them
with postwar inventions. He wants
them to study languages to help
them around the postwar world.
His own languages-French, Ger
man and Spanish-were invaluable
to him as the first of eight military
government officers the Navy had in
the Pacific.
One day on Saipan, for example,
Capt. Collins found 5000 civilian
prisoners who had been construct
ing ammunition depots for the jap
aneSe. They could not understand
his Japanese and he did not know
their island jargon. Then through
one who knew Spanish, the former
Marine captain was able to flash to
the invasion commander the depot
locations.
Giving these kids weapons to

fight the peacetime world with
languages, electronics, knowing all
about plastics-that's what 1 want
to devote my life to-" he said.
A veteran of % years in the
school system, Mr.. Collins was prin-
cipal Of Anacostia High School when
he was called to active duty with
the Marines in 1912. On his return
last July the Board of Education
appointed him to succeed Charles s.
Hart, for AZ years principal Of
Eastern.
Mr.. Collins, who lives at 4003
Twenty-first street NE, wears four
campaign stars and the presidential
citation awarded to the 4th Marine
Division after Saipan. Sometimes he
forgets to wear his gold discharge
button. but the teachers say that
doesn't matter.
"The students knows where he's
been," one said. you can tell by the
way they quiet down when he walks
in the room"

Jap Torture Failed
To GET Secret From
Dutch Police Chief
By GEORGE WELLER,

EuIclku S0TESSpuuueilt Aot Abe 6thf anu
The Chicago Daily News,
1zuKA. Kyushu, Sept. 20 De-
layeO How Dutch police heads IN
the East Indies died Under Japa-
nese torture, rather than reveal how
guerrillas were communicating by
radio with the refugee Dutch goy-
sernment, has been revealed here by
sthe RAF officer who is in command
fof the japanese prison camp.
s After Java fell in March 1942, tie
SDutch secret police, who stayed be-
khind, managed to keep a radio set
sgoing. But their chief died and
ythe second in command, named De-
skuypers, succeeded him. The ma
Ktives, who generally co-operated
with the Japanese, actively or pas
5sively, betrayed him.
Dekuypers, for more than two
weeks, was subjected to the most
trefined tortures known to the
sJapanese. The Japs in mistreat-
ling Dekuypers, did not know that
sthey were dealing with the top
man. They were ignorant that De-
skuypers' superior was dead. They
demanded both the latter's loca-
ftion and the radios location.
{ The Japs doused him in water,
sfed him salt meat and drank ice
fwater before him. They gave him
sbeatings of many different kinds.
They kept him from sleep. When
these methods failed, they pierced
shis eardrups with pencils. Next
sthey brought in his 53-year- -old sis
ter and caused her to be assaulted
sby halfwitted Japanese before his
eyes.
] At this point Dekuypers' reason
gave way. Finally, they gave him
"a water cure of forced feeding, then
Dumping on his belly.
/ When Dekuypers' periods of con-
kciousness became so brief and in
sanity SO evident that further ques-
stioning was useless, he was thrown
into prison where the Raj officer,
who is also a surgeon, treated him.
Dekuypers had f1eeting moments
of sanity before his death, at which
time he told what had been done to
him.
I'm order not to enrage the Japs
we put pneumonia. on the death
certificate" the RAF officer said.

Finer Psychiatric Screening

The soldier who confessed to the murder of Sir Eric Teichman, British diplomat, was, according to an Army psychiatrist, "a mentally defective homicidal degen- crate" After examinations, the pSychi- atrist found his mental age to be about years, and that he suffered from constitutional phychopathic condition of emotional instability and explosive and primitive Sadistic aggreSSiveneSs." PSy- chiatric tests are part of induction physl- cal examinations. There are pSychiatrists attached to camps in this country whose job is to weed out the obviously unfit who passed the initial mental test. There are other pSychiatrists near the combat areas who assist in the treatment of con- bat neuroSeS
 It seems odd that such an obvious de- generate as this killer should have gone through induction and training and spent some time in England without his defi- ciencies being discovered and acted upon, Of course, he is only one among almost 12,OOO 000 servicemen, so perhaps the psychiatrists should not be judged too harshly. But one might also wonder how many more like him have slipped through examinations unnoticed.
 A finer initial screening and more oD- servant check-upS would seem to be Tn order, if crimes perhaps of even greater international consequence than the Telch- man murder are to be averted.

Dream Cars Are Idle preams

Charles F. Kettering has been chair man of the National Inventors Council since it was set up by the Government to scan all suggestions to strengthen the production of war materials; and very recently he was elected President of the American Association for the Advance ment of Science, which has been identi- fled with the Smithsonian Institution for century. Kettering works hand-in- glove with the Society of Automotive Engineers in connection with his major responsibilities as planner, designer and architect of General Motors automobiles and other activities. His major activities have been in connection with the produc- ton of airplaneS, tanks and engines, and other weapons and machinery to win the war.
 He recently expressed the opinion that the dream cars" that have been predict ed to appear on the highway. right after the war remind him of magic carpets" because they are wonderful things to shoot at"
 Kettering is the nations most popular inventor and our most dependable author ity on automobiles, and you'll have to be- lieve him when he tells you that automo- tive engineers are realists, and that in recent years all their efforts have gone in- to "a much more urgent channel, the war effort, and that there they will stay until the Victory is Won." Not until then will they "go back and pick up their job exactly where they left it." All of which, he says, means that dream cars' have little place in the immediate postwar pic ture "The real job," predicts Kettering, twill he to devise the best way of getting the plants back to the prewar conditions"

Did it ever occur to you that in the past a great number Of small concerns have eventually become big businesses - and that in reverse order there are equal assortments of big businesses that nave ghrunk into small businesses
 Look about in your own nelohoorhoou and you will find large number of small businesses that are dependent upon large businesses and industries that eXlSt III other places. The business of manulac- turing and selling automobiles, TOT H. stance. is the most disrupted enterprise in the the whole nation. The big com nanies that make hundreds of thouSanoS of automobiles in year are now working for the Government. Small manufac- turerS of parts, material and supplies from thousands of concerns fit into the picture. -
 In peace time, about half of all the uroducts manufactured and sold by au- tomobile companies were produced oy sub-contractors engaged in supplylng fabricated parts, and in the majority oI these smaller concerns fewer than 5OO people were employed. The manufacture of automobiles actually begins Tn the cotton fields, forests, and at the mines, where raw materials are collected. Great quantities of raw material comes from nearly every state in the Union.
 Thus, all kinds of industries, big ana small, are necessary to a prosperous America = the small industry cannot exist without market, and the big indus try would be unable to keep it's wheels in motion except for the small business groups Even the signs and advertise 11lents on business houses in every town and city connects our major establish uaents on the Atlantic, in the middle West, on the Pacific, and in all the states.

STEADY WAGES
New Haven Journal-Courier)

tNeW Haven JOurnal-COurleT)
 Most Americans will probably SUD- port the President in his announced intention to hold the wage line for the present and the immediate fu- ture, at least, in spite of plea from the big labor unions. It is this procedure. he maintains, along with holding the price lines, which has prevented. and is still preventing infiationary developments
 The facts seem to uphold the Presidents position. In the course of this great war, so far, there has been no such serious imitation as developed in the last war. According to the Presidents figures, the cost of living has risen only 25 to 30 per cent since 1889, and only two pei cent since orders to hold the line were issued a year ago last April Anyone who compared present prices in general with those of the last war is likely to be surprised by the comparative moderation in the pres- ent war period.
 It is necessary, however, to hold the lines firmly. The Administra- tion's position is weakened, ana pressure on it's increased, by the recent mark-up allowed to steel company employees. Experience has shown how disastrous it is to relax the economic controls and let prices and wages go on a rampage. This Is matter requiring moderation alike in prices and wages, and a steady hand in government. There must be no leak in the dike of fiscal policy.
