fore a common pleas jury on
charges of second degree murder in
connection with the death of Betty

nette Woods, at whose home the
shooting occurred, told the police
that few minutes after midnight,
May 8, she and Miss Ramey were
sitting in her living room when
Gary walked in and whispered
something in her ear and then shot
her.
Gary testified yesterday after
noon that he and Miss Ramey had
spent the evening before the shoot
ing in west side tavern. On their
way home he said they quarrelled
about money and who should drive
the car.
He told the court he then refused

fused to return them. He left her
home and later returned. When she
again refused to return his keys
Gary said he became angered and
shot her. About an hour later Gary

DETECTIVES HUNT MAN
WHO PASSED BAD CHECKS

Dayton detectives are combing
the city for a man whom they said
cashed one rubber check Tuesday
and escaped from police yesterday
after trying to collect on another
at the same place of business.
Det. Capt. O. l.. Kincaid, said
the man was John l.. Cawthorn, 25,
discharged serviceman of 400 S.
Summit street. Two patrolmen saw
him yesterday afternoon standing
opposite the Famous Clothing Co.,
1116 West Third street, while a
young boy attempted to have the
second check cashed there. The two
patrolmen chased Cawthorn but
were unable to catch him.
Kincaid explained that Cawthorn
cashed the first check, for $45.50
Tuesday at the Famous Clothing
Co. The check had been signed
"Dr. J. CASTOR" Yesterday a IT.
year-old boy entered the Famous
store with another check for the
same amount, signed with the same
name and it was then the police at
tempted to arrest Cawthorn. The
boy was released by police after
questioning revealed he did not
know Cawthorn but had met him
on the street and agreed to cash the
check.

Chryslers Get Their Lots
Back But They're Out S188

Miller says that, evidently,
some Warren township clerical
employee must have told the
Chrsylers back in 1910 that no
taxes for that<eear were assessed
against the property. The Chrys-
lers quote Frank Wiegand, War
rem township treasurer, as saying
mat since the date of the first
deed was August 5. 1910, no
taxes should have been assessed
for .hat year. They say, like
wise, that representative of the
state land board told them, at
the time of purchase. that no
taxes were due for 1910.
No one of the officials seems
to be too familiar with just who
said what.
The Chryslefs know two
things for sure.

them the works!
2~They are out $188.83!

Germans to Eat Little Better
Than Prisoners They Starved
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON - Germany
is facing famine in the coming
year. Agriculture authorities
here. predicting one of the worst
food shortages in history say
: that the German people VIII
fare little better than the pris-
oners whom they have systemat-
ically and mercilessly starved
throughout the war.
Widespread war damage, in
ability to plant this season
crops, lack of fertilizer and farm
equipment. stale soil, aHe nu-
merous other reasons have COM
bined TO create a condition which
is part of a world food crisis.
And because of world condi-
tons and limited transportation
facilities there can be no more
than a trickle OF outside AID,
however compassionate the oc-
cIpation troops and citizens OF
other countries might come TO
feel.
Here is the prospect for Ger
mans in the next u months. &C
cording to the most optimistic
estimates of Washington ex-
perts:
In farming areas farthest
from the best farming districts
the average diet might drop to
400 Galleries day. This rs 200
Galleries below what the most
poorly fed German prisoners
were receiving, and 1900 cal
cries less than an emergency
diet barely capable Of maintain
ing health.
FARMERS IN vOLKSSTURM
In non farm areas closer to
food producing regions, 1t is
hoped that an sal rage diet OF
from 800 to 1900 calofies a day
can be provided.
Only in the heart OF the best
farming sections is it expected
that the population may get
close 10 1000 calories a day.
Officials of the Foreign Eco
nomic Administration, War Food
Administration and the War De-
part.1ent explain that during
the spring, when German farm
ers normally would have been
starting their blowing and plant
ing. most of them were called
into the army or the home-front
Volkssturm. At the same time
the slave labor on farms was
reaching its minimum efflclen-
cy.
Thus only fraction of the
regular planting was. done. Ger
many's damp climate and linn
tied sunshine make farming an
exacting business at best, and
the delay in planting cannot be
remedied, experts believe, ex-
cept in a few areas where hardy
rye might yet be grown and
harvested. There is fair amount
of seed for all crops, but this
Is largely made useless by the
.lateness of the season and other
emergency conditions.
The Department OF Agricul-
ture reports that the soil in
Germany's most productive
areas is in poor condition from
lack of fertilizer. Before the war
the country supplied about 80
per cent of its food needs by
Intensive cultivation and scien-
tific use of fertilizer. Since the
war, most fertilizing material
has been diverted to munitions
making. Experts say ii will take
up to four years to get the soil
into any kind of productive
state.
American troops have found
practically no food stocks. ac-

lowered by attempts to sustain

According TO present plans
Allied armies of occupation Will

the American forces will en-
counter less difficulty than the
Russian occupation army, since
the zone which we are TO occupy

two biggest problems have been winter clothing and food. The win ter clothing problem has been ac- centuated by two unpredictable cir cumstanccs. First this is the coldest, wettest winter on record, Second, because the front moved faster than ever planned, our combat troops were in the heart of the coldest, snowiest belt in western Europe rather than in the milder climate to the west
 We hadn't had much experience in European winter fighting. The Italian experience couldn't be com piled for study until nearly June Orders based on 1t could not be placed until July. Some shortages were bound to occur. The much publicized shortage of the largest sizes of overShoeS Is hard to under stand-until you realize that com- bat troops are now taking shoes half size bigger than they have up to now. They're wearing extra socks and therefore demanding big ger shoes.
 What hasn't been nearly so well publicized Is that our frontline soldiers are now wearing almost a brand new winter uniform---one which wasn't ordered until July. It starts with the new shoe packs and ski socks includes new outer windproof pants, new highneck sweaters and jackets and ends with 0 new hood. The hood, which no
