4 CrOsbys At Once
In MOUie Scene

HOLLYW WOOD - Four
Crosby's played in one pic

there's no optical illusion or
camera trick about it.
The all-Crosby ensemble
was composed of Bing's four
tow-haired sons, Gary, II,
Phillip and Dennis, 10, and
Lindsay, 7. They support
considerably more of the
hair stuff than their famous
father, but otherwise they
are reasonable facsimiles in

which is part of the movie,
"Duffy's Tavern" and which

1T will keep them laughing
for thirty years" wrote Walter
Wincheli at the time of the
premiere of Dear Ruth" which
is presented under the man
agerial banner of Joseph M. Hy-
man and Bernard Hart. The
story revolves around the com
plications in the life of Ruth,
the elder daughter of the
Wilkins family, when she finds
herself confronted by a soldier
on leave who obviously is in
love with her but whom she
never has seen previously
When she learns that her young
er sister has been corresponding
with him for two years, using
her name, the problem mounts
as Ruth has just become en-
gagged to an enterprising busi-
ness man. Out of this romantic
and hilarious situation the au-
thor has envolved a comedy
which the critics pronounce "a
darling of play" and "a sheer
delight"
There will be evening per-
formances of Dear Ruth on

 Project to Cost $1 ,OOO

Capt. John Van Gould of the Salvation Army reported this morning application for Thanksgiv- ing dinner have already shown an increase over 1914, with S1 applica- tions being filed already and pres ent indications are 20 to 30 addi- tion applications will be filed be- tween now and November 2l.

CContinued from Page D code words so their talk would be sure to be secret. The Navy jotted 'em down as they came: Miss Kimiko meaning MT. Roosevelt; Miss Umeko indicating Secretary Hull: their getting married signi- flying they would make deal to give Japan half the world, and their giving birth to babies meaning, they said, nuts"
 The Navy was plugged in with its recorder when Yamamoto rang up Nomura and here's the conversa- tion:
 Tokyo: How did the matrimonial question go today?
 Washington: About the same as Miss Umeko said yesterday. But how do things look there? Does it seem as if @ child might be born7
 Tokyo: Yes, the birth of the child seems imminent. But don't break of arrangements for the marriage. Not yet.
 Wasn't Interested
 Washington: Read carefully what Miss Kimiko said today. (Miss Kimiko wasn't interested in mar riage).
 Tokyo: But we're faced with the excitement of having child born. Washington: I doubt whether any thing can be done. Miss Kimiko is leaving town tomorrow and will stay in the country until Wednes- day.
 Plaintive tone Of many of the cables, still headed secret" "Na- tional secret and urgent secret" showed that Miss Kimiko and Miss Umeko agreed they'd rather give birth any old day, than consent to matrimony. The Japs couldn't un- derstand this and Tokyo soon be- gan sending insulting messages to its ambassador in Washington blaming him for the stalemate.
 Want Peace Till Last
 Nomura apparently was the fall guy. He thought. almost, until the last that he could arrange for peace between Japan and the United States, and when finally he decid- ed the warlords had other ideas he sent Tokyo a cable. Amusing it may seem, but pathetic, too:
 T don't want to be the bones of a dead horse" he said. T don't want to continue this hypocritical existence, deceiving other people No, don't think I'm trying to flee the field of battle, but as man of honor this Is the only way that is open for me to tread. Please send me your permission to return to Japan Most humbly do I beseech your forgiveness if have injured your dignity and I proStrate my self before you in the depth Of my rudeness."
 Tokyo told him to stay in Wash ington. He still was negotiating when the raiders headed for Pearl Harbor.

  eolonels were marched to the cre- matorium, shot through the back of the neck, and their bodies burned. Attendants extracted their gold teeth before the bodies were thrown into the furnaces.
 The guinea pig experiments were performed on Russian, Polish, Jew ish and Czech inmates in order to gain scientific information for the benefit of the German armed forces, Blaha testified.
 One of them was the so-called lair pressure" experiment. It was carried out under the direction of a Luftwaffe Major, pr. Rasche, and aimed to determine effect of sudden pressure changes.
 Twenty to 25 men, Blaha said, were herded into pressure cham Der and the pressure varied sudden ly. Most of them died within a few minutes. and some later af- ter agonized hours.
 The pressure experiments pro- duced hemorrhages of the ears and nose. Brain hemorhages caused most of the deaths. Other results included embolisms of the heart, stomach lesions, and blood clots.
 Another experiment he described was the so-called water treatment" Naked men were tossed into tanks of icy water and kept there up to 38 hours. After each periodic tenn perature change, the Nazi took blood samples from the throat.
 Sometimes the victims were hauled out of the water and given treatments" to determine the ef- fleets. One consisted of thawing them out with mechanical heaters. Another method was to place the frozen man between two women to test his reaction to bodily heat.
 Turning to his own experiences, Blaha demonstrated to the court how he was beaten and hanged by chains attached to his wrists.
 Displaying scars left from Gestapo beatings, he leaned over table to show the position he had to take to be lashed. Fifty lashes were not uncommon, he said.

 20 Miles An Hour
 Rabtoy stated that he was pro- eeeding about 20 miles per hour at the time he struck the girl; and his statement was substantiated by that of Coroner Healey, who reported that the vehicle was proceeding at a moderate rate of speed" The cor oner also stated that the point of impact was the front left side of .he car, just beneath the headlight.
 At police headquarters, where Rabtoy was taken by It. Hobart to report the details of the accident, word was received from the hospital that the girl had succumbed. At the news Rabtoy required stimulants when he showed signs of near col lapse.
