 ZukauskaS worked at one time for a local funeral home. When de- tectiVes searched for him on the day after Mrs. Plungis disappeared, one of the first places they visited was the funeral home where he had once been employed.

Nov. 8, he said. On cross-examina- tion he also stated that no other bullets were taken from the car on that day by him, and that he did not see any other bullets taken from the car.
 Detective McElligott identified the police belt, and stated it was de- livered to him by the wife of the accused when he called at the Zukauskas home Nov. at about 6 D. m.
 The last witness called before the 1 o'clock recess was Attorney Albert J. Bronsky, clerk of the city court, who identified warrant issued Nov. 3 charging technical breach of the peace" against Zukauskas.
 Attorney Gager subjected the clerk to a lengthy cross examina- ton on the nature of the warrant and subsequent warrants, and on the procedure followed by city court when the accused was presented there. The court instructed MT. Bronsky to obtain the city court records before he resumed the stand at 2 o'clock.

Senate Approves EIIiott's Rank

Washington, Jan. 30 - fU.P0 - The Senate Military Affairs Com mittee unanimously approved today the nomination of 34-year-old Co., onel Elliott Roosevelt, second son of the President, to the rank of Brigadier General.
 The nomination of the young air force officer was approved along with the promotions of 57 other colonels to the same rank.
 No opposition was voiced to Roosevelt's nomination, Chairman Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah, said, although the record of the Pres ident's son was thoroughly reviewed at the request of Senator Styles Bridges, R., N. H.

Zukauskas is never without visi- tors during the court recesses. Sit ting or standing in the railed-off prisoners pen in the far corner of the courtroom, he talks either with his wife or with neighbors and friends. He seemed very pleased when Joseph Stokna and Stanley Moriarty both residents of Alder street, greeted him recently. He shook hands with the men and chatted animatedly with them. Stokna was one of the witnesses who testified he saw Zukauskas with Mrs. Plungis shortly after 10:30 the night she was slain.
 The neat appearance of the &C.,
 cused has been the subject of
 comment by many spectators. His suit is aways well-pressed, and his
 shirt and tie are tidy. When he dOns his silver-rimmed glasses
 and listens intently to the testi-
 mOny, taking notes, he looks more
 like student in classroom, than person on trial for the most Ser-
 iOuS crime man can commit.
 Mrs. Edna ZukauSkas, an attrac- tive woman, has been wearing a leopard coat to court and has changed hats from day to day. One of her hats is trimmed in leopard fur, while another she wears often i, oil fa vrit n a nj, in front and worn to the side. She has displayed wide collection of ear rings and usually wears a pink gold la peipln on her coat. Many eyes in the courtroom turned toward her jeWelry one day last week when a witness commented Zukauskas gave his wife pin and earring set which Mrs. Plungis refused to ac- cept. The ear rings and pin were not identified otherwise.
 Mrs. PlungiS' name appears in the telephone directory as Miss
 Stephie PIungis." The listing is
 the same in the previous direc
 tory. The slain woman very sell dom used the name Mrs. Anthony Plungis, but preferred to be called
 Stephie, it has been reported.
 Contrary to popular belief un- animous vote of the judges will not be necessary for decision in the murder case. Sectin 6477 of the General Statutes as revised in 1850 states that in such cases the judges, OR A MAJORITY OF THEM, shall have the power to decide all ques- tions of law and facts arising upon trial and render judgment accord ingly."
 The statute points out that if an

the Americans were threatening the entire Baguio area where the bulk of the enemy's island garrison was believed concentrated, and the Jap aneSe reacted savegly.
 Reinforced enemy tank and in- fantry units counter attacked three | times against the American spear heads over the weekend and were routed with serious losses after 8 touch -and-go battle.
 The Japanese tried their biggest counter shortly after mid night Saturday night around San Manuel, 24 miles south of Baguio and 18 miles inland from Lingayen Gulf.
 Elements of the Japanese second armored division spearheaded the attack, striking into positions held by the U. s. 18th division with 8 fury that overran the Americans forward lines before 1t was halted. At Daw, the Doughboys rallied and counter attacked, finally Wiping out the entire enemy force and clearing the whole San Manuel area.
 Gen. Douglas MacArthur'S com munique said 789 enemy dead were counted in the area, with many mere bodies still to be tailed, while at least 49 Japanese tanks were known to have been knocked out.
 The losses raised the Japanese cas- ualties since the start of the LuZon campaign to more than 25,0O0 men and 103 tankS-perhaps third of their armor on the island and cer- ta!nly large part of their garrison. American losses in the same three week period totaled 4,254, including 1,0l7 killed, 197 missing and 3040 wounded San Quintin, II miles southeast of San Manuel, also was taken by the Americans in a sup porting thrust that carried almost 30 miles inland to the foothills of the Caraballo Mountains.
 Meanwhile, the drive on Manila was continuing against the feeblest opposition, following the capture yesterday of San Fernando, B air line miles north of the capital and the starting point of MacArthur's retreat into Bataan three years ago.
 CaIumpit Bound
 Units of the 37th division pushed ahead cautiously toward Calumpit 10 miles to the south, where the Candaba swamps skirt highway three and, with the Pampanga river, form the only defensible position left to the Japanese above Manila.
 Filipino guerrillas were reported to have prevented the Japanese from carrying out extensive demolitionS in their retreat, but the big Calum- pit bridge spanning the Pampanga was known to have been knocked out by American bombers shortly after the Lingayen landing, and the enemy was expected to put up de- laying action along the river there.
 MacArthur'S communique revealed, however, that another American force 35 miles north-northeast of San Fernando had captured Licab, II miles west of highway five, and was pushing toward that road which runs parallel to highway three into Manila.
 At the same time, American fliers stepped up their attacks on fortifi- cations girdling Manila Bay in pre- paration for the re-entry of the U. s. battle fleet, bombing Fort Drum and the Cavite Naval Base.
 Macarthur also revealed that marine dive bombers have been added to his airpower on Luzon, CO., operating with ground forces attack ing the Japanese positions in the hills west of Clark field.

 Stettinius recently announced that he had accepted the presidents invitation to go with him to the conference.
 European missions also have been announced for White House Press Secretary Stephen T, Early and Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, special counsel to the president. Early will study public relations in the Euro pean theater of operations, and Ros- enman will visit the liberated por- tions of Europe to examine and re- port to the president on supply and consumer goods needed by the gov  ernments and civilian populations.
 The presidents 63rd birthday came at one of the most active, tense periods of his life. While most men on their 63rd birthdays think of leisure and retirement, the pres ident was occupied solely by the Titanic problems of ending the war in Europe this year and starting the actual functioning of a perma- nent, international peace organiza- ton.
 At home, MT. Roosevelt was up against another set of big problems. Topping this list was his current battle with congress over the nom- ination of former vice president Henry A. Wallace as secretary of commerce to replace Jesse H. Jones.
