The favorite Polish character on
this front the last few days has been
man whom the Germans con-
scripted when they first came to
Poland. He was sent to fight the
Russians, who captured him and put
him into the Polish group fighting
under their command. He was re-
captured by the Germans, put back
into the Wehrmacht and subse-
quently sent to Italy.
Last week he deserted to the 9th

Service
Now Major AP Task,
Keni Cooper Reports
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 20.-World-
wide extension of Associated Press
service has become one of APPS major
undertakings as more and more
areas of the globe are being liberated
from Axis domination, Kent Cooper,
executive director, said today in his
annual report.
dispatches credited BY the Asso-
ciated Press reappeared in parts of
the world where newspapers had not
received objective news reports for
nearly five years." Mr.. Cooper said
in discussing the activities of the
cooperative, non-proflt news asso-
citation during 1914. ZAP moved in
with the troops as enemy territory
was freed, ready to resume the direct
availability Of AP news and news
features that was halted at the be-
ginning of the war"
The Cooper report was issued in
connection with the annual meeting
Of the AP next Monday, which will
be conducted largely by proxy this
year because of travel restrictions of
the Office of Defense Transportation
World Grows Smaller.
Extension of the service to all
parts of the globe was put energeti-
cally under way" the executive di-
rector said. THE war and its ef-
fects have steadily caused the world
to grow smaller and countries that
had been geographical strangers
have become neighbors. Their de-
sire for honest and objective news
exceeds in Importance anything
heretofore existing.
Whatever had been the original
necessity for APPS international op-
erations, conditions now have made
it virtually an obligation-O to
meet fully the world requirements of
its members: CD to carry faithfully
to the world the type of service for
which AP is not only historically
noted but for which the new world
is in desperate need"
Mr.. Cooper praised the work of
the Associated Press staff in 1914,
asserting that accomplishments in
news and picture coverage were in
the finest and proudest traditions
of Associated Press teamwork"
Service Reached New Peaks.
"On the two most memorable and
history making days-D Day in
June on the flaming beaches of
Normandy, and election day in No.
vember, when Americans cast their
first wartime presidential ballots
since 1864-the news and news
photo stats rose to peaks of triumph
unmatched in worldwide demands
for courage, resourcefulness and en-
terprise.
Mr.. Cooper pointed out that ap-
proximately one-third of the domes-
tic personnel was in the armed
forces at the close of the year.
Mr.. Cooper said the invasion of
Europe and the increased tempo of
the war in the east and west had
caused cable and wireless transmits
sions to skyrocket beyond anything
experienced before, with Associated
Press London-New York traffic for
the year reaching the unprece-
dented figure of 6,500,000 words"
Operation of portable wireless
transmitting sets by commercial
companies from the front lines, both
in Europe and the Pacific, marked
an epochal advance in wartime news
communication" Mr.. Cooper said.

WITH THE POLISH FORCES
EAST OF BOLOGNA. April 90
The fabulous Poles are doing all
right.
Today I drove with Howard Nor
ton, correspondent for the Baltimore
Sun, from the 5th Army press camp
across the Apennine foothills to the
9Th Army sector where, beneath
rolling dust cloud, Polish armor and
infantry are battling the cream of
the Wehrmacht along the banks of
the Gaiana Canal within easy ar
tillery range of Bologna.
At lunch at their headquarters, I
asked a question which occurs fire.
quently these days to all who follow
the troubled career of these great
soldiers: How is the morale of
these troops holding up-and why?"
The answer was quick:
The morale of our men has
never been higher. The thought
which has sustained us all along is
that so long as a Polish Army
lOuSlit, Vic O1loIl SVdtS StAl ChASlCO
The same thought sustains us to-
day"
No one over here has any doubt
that the Poles are fighting-least of
all the Germans, who are said to be
more afraid Of them than they are
of British or Americans. The Ger
mans particularly dislike being cap
tured by the representatives of their
former slave nation, despite the fact
that they are always treated with
scrupulous correctness. Possibly it
has something to do with a bad con-
science.
1t is interesting to observe what
happens over here with a Pole meets
an enemy Pole on the field of battle.
Poles who are fighting for the Ger
mans had no choice about it; they
were declared citizens of the Reich
and conscripted into the Wehr-
macht. They have never fought
well for the Germans-many have
risked being shot in the back to
desert to us, very few, indeed, have
resisted capture.
The vast majority of those who
have come into our hands, either by
desertion or as the result of capture,
have volunteered to join up with
their brothers fighting the Germans

Police Check Records
In Seeking Full Story
OF Mummified Bodv

Ihe last chapter in the bizarre
narrative told when the mummif1ed
body OF a woman dead 80 years was
found in house in Northwestern
Washington remained unfinished to-
day as police sought further light
on the macabre mystery before al
lowing the body to rest at last in
grave.
Some circumstances had been
cleared up, but the police still want
ed to know how the body of Mrs.
Mary Elizabeth Hutchins Woodward,
who died in 1912 at the age of 81,
was brought here and who en-
balmed it with such skill that it
remained well preserved after her
daughter, Mrs. Mary Eva Woodward,
had kept it secretly all these years
in mahogany coffin with a glass
panel in an upper room Of her home
at 3405 Holmead place NV.
The cluttered, decaying house
yielded its secret Wednesday, few
days after the daughter died in
hospital at the age of II. She had
lived there many years, alone except
for a varying number of cats, which
sometimes numbered a score.
Secret Discussed in Will.
The younger Mrs. Woodward, who
married man of the same name
she had been born to, left a will
discussing the secret she had con-
cealed so long and directing that
she and her mother be laid to rest
side by side in the family lot at
Montpelier, VT.
1t was not even certain today
where the mother died. St. Louis
municipal records, the Associated
Press reported, showed a Mrs. Mary
E. Woodward died there March 10.
1912. the date listed by relatives as
that of the Vermont woman's de-
mise. These records said the body
was sent to Pittsburgh for burial.
The vital statistics report also listed
as the source of the information
Mrs. Mary E. Woodward of a K
street address in Washington.
On the other hand, detectives of
the homicide squad here said they
learned that the mother died in
Williamsburg, Pa, suburb of Pitts
burg, on the identical date. They
did not disclose the source of their
information, and there was no ex-
PLANTATION of the discrepancy.
According to the police version,
the body of Mrs. Woodward was
brought to Washington and, after a
private funeral service at the daugh-
ter's home, was placed in a vault
at Oak Hill Cemetery. After about a
year the body was exhumed at the
daughters request, the detectives
said, and sent to Philadelphia
There the trail was lost, and efforts
were being made to learn further
details.
Body Held at Morgue.
There were reports among neigh
bors and friends of the daughter
that the body was mummiied at
an embalming school in Philadel-
phia, but this had not been verified.
Coroner Macdonald, meanwhile
ordered the mothers body held at
the morgue until the investigation
was completed. The daughters
body likewise remained unburied
until the authorities finished their
inquiry. 1t was at funeral home.
The younger Mrs. Woodward was
an author and clubwoman, widely
known in the city. She was active
in patriotic and literary organiza-
tions.
When her home was entered by
her attorney and police Wednesday
three grown cats and two kittens
and dog were found. The search
also revealed the embalmed body of
cat in trunk upstairs.
