Mrs. GI Prefers Spouse
At Home to Trip Abroad

Stripes reports that the President
is opposed to sending wives and
families Of United States occupa-
ton troops to Germany.
WHAT GI SAID
OF course, he didn't give that
rs his reason for his opposition to
American women being sent 10 join
their men abroad.
According to STAR and Strlpes
The reason he gave was that he
didn't want Americans to settle
III Europe" "
But Il doesn't look to Mrs. CT
Joe as though the danger Of Am
crican men settling in Europe is
tied up with their getting their
wives and families over there.
Prom Wherc she sits. i looks to
he service wife as though the
American mon most likely to settle
III foreign countries are those who
fall IL love with the women of
those countries. And the way to
encourage such alliances is to leave
American women over here, and
keep American men overseas.
GET VETERANS HOME
But Mrs. Joe Will quietly give
up her plans for getting to Europe.
If the President comes through with
his own Elan. And that is to get
veterans Of the European campaigns
back home through requirements as
quickly as possible
What Mrs. joe really wants is
not a trip to Europc-though tha'
woulC be an experience that would
make hcr feel less like a little
stay-at-home compared with her
travelled husband What she wants
IS a chance to resume her marriage
1cain. And il size can do that
he will be perfectly happy to stay
right on in POdunk. But if her
husband has been in Europe TWO
-CarS Cr more Won can't blame her
i0r thinking Uncle Sam ought to
start considering her marriage and
what is happening to it.

No Easy Way To Victory

Washington, March IT -(UP)- Secretary of Navy James Forrestal. who personally witnessed the first few days of the bloody battle for Two lima, says there just is no shortcut to victory.
 That's what he is telling mothers and other persons who have been writing in to protest the heavy American casualties on Two Jima.
 Forrestal made public the kind of reply he is making to such let ter-writers. He also released letter typical of many he has received but the name of the writer was withheld.
 Here is the text of typical let ter to Forrestal:
 Please for Gods sake stop send- ing our finest youth to be murdered on places like Two lima. It is too much for boys to stand, too much for mothers and homes to take. It is driving some mothers crazy. Why can't objectives be accomplished some other way. It is most inhuman and awful Stop, Stop"
 His reply:
 "On December ', 1941 the Axis confronted us with a simple choice: fight or be overrun. There was then, and is now, no other possibility.
 Having chosen to fight, we had then, and have now, no final means of winning battles except through the valor of the marine or army soldier who, with rifle and gren- ades, storms enemy positions, takes them and holds them. There is no short cut or easy way. I wish there were"

 Setup Called Unnecessary

CTS in New Bedford textile mills to switch to jobs in tire cord plants which are behind on military or- ders. Two drafts" already have failed, and third is scheduled to start next week.
 Fred Steel, executive secretary of the New Bedford Cotton Manu- lecturers association, suggested a rotation plan to the committee. U1.der the plan workers from fine goods mills would work for periods of 29 days at Cord plants, keeping their seniority rights and group in- surance in their regular jobs.
 Antonio England. director of the CIO New Bedford Textile union, demanded a withdrawal of all efforts to force workers to change jobs.
 He proposed instead that the Cord Companies give inducements to workers-that Firestone give third shift workers the same seven cent hourly premium paid at the Fisk plant and that pressure be brought on both companies to inaugurate group insurance benefits.

Fruit Ships Set Perfect
 TroveI Mark

Boston, March IT lO.FD United Fruit Company escaped without the loss of single ship last year, although one employe met his death through enemy action, President Samuel Zemurray dis closed today in the 45th annual re- port which showed 1944 net earn ings rose $134 share to new three-year high.
 One United Fruit vessel, previous ly declared a total loss, was salvaged and is again in operation. he said. The United States and British gov ernments operate all of the coin- pany's ships.
 zemurray told stockholders that considerable progress was made during 1944 with the War Shipping Administration in the settlement o1 charter hire rates for chartered ships and values of lost ships.
 "At the close of the year" he re- ported, definite charter agreements had been concluded for 35 of the 46 ships under acquisition to the United States government, and values agreed upon and payment received for all except five lost ships. Negotiations are continuing with respect to charter hire on Il ships and valuation of lost ships, and it is hoped that those negotia- tions will be concluded satisfactorily in the near future"
 Consolidated net income last year amounted to $14,745, 181 or $5.O4 a share compared with $lO,- 829 728 or $3.70 in 1943.
 Zemurray reported that despite continued limitation of steamship tonnage, the company stepped up banana shipments to the United States principally by faster sched- uling of ships operating in Carib- bean trade routes and to a lesser extent by the temporary use of some additional foreign-flag tonnage.
 At the end of 1944, he continued the company had under cultivation 11l,557 acres of bananas, 95,206 acres of sugar cane and 1,066 acres of Cacao, all of which acreage is be- ing fully maintained. In addition. United Fruit is operating for the U. s. government 28,626 acres of Abaca, of which 22,033 acres have reached maturity. Decorticating plants for processing the Abaca fiber now are operating in Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guate- mala. A substantial amount Of fiber and produced last year and output for 1945 is expected to in- crease rapidly.
 United Fruit, according to zemur- ray, has continued an increased its efforts to improve agriculture in middle America and through it's de- partment of new crops is stimulat- ing the production of commodities which now can be grown economic ally by and marketed advantage ously for the benefit of small farm CTS of that region.

ReformutorY Term Stand S For Boy, Is

Efforts to obtain discharge from the Cheshire reformatory for 16- year-old Emil ProcieWicZ of Tor rington by means of habeas corpus proceedings have failed, and the youth will continue his term at the state institution.
 In a memorandum of decision on file in common pleas court, Judge Miles F. McNiff ruled the boy was lawfully imprisoned and ordered dismissal of the habeas corpus writ.
 Prociewicz was sentenced in the Winchester town court on charge of taking a motor vehicle without permission of the owner. In the habeas proceedings instituted by his father, Cyprian ProcieWicz, 1t was claimed the father was not a proper guardian for the boy in that he did not understand criminal pro- ceedings. It also was claimed the youth did not have counsel at the time of the winchester hearing and the 48-hour period for taking an appeal from the sentence had elapsed by the time he obtained g lawyer.
 The boy alleged further that Judge Hadleigh How'd, who sen- tenced him, had not given sufficient information on the criminal charge to the guardian.
 George c. Erskine, superinten- dent at the reformatory, was respondent in the proceedings, and was called to the local court for the hearings conducted on the writ in January. In his decision the jurist ruled the youth should be remanded to the custody of Erskine.

Fire, Police Deferments Considered

Means of granting possible dafer- lnentS for approximately 10 men of the local police and fire departments under 30 years of age were worked out yesterday at a conference at State Selective Service headquarters, West Hartford There are about 6 men from the local fire department and four from the police depart ment.
 It. William Kinney and Sgt. James Wagner of the local fire and police departments, respectively, rep resented the Waterbury service among those from similar service departments of Connecticut towns present at yesterdays meeting with state selective service officials.
 Local departments will submit a lisst of their men under the 30 age bracket to selective service for fur ther consideration, it was decided yesterday. Heretofore there has been no special system for handling de- dement's of policemen and firemen.
 A fixed percentage of the men in the age group concerne,', in each department, will be recommended to local board for serious considera- ton for continued occupational de- ferment," it was stated.
 The conference came about as re- suit of combined appeal made by Mayors of various cities and officials of numerous towns who have eX- pressed alarm over the prospect Of the drafting of so many men from the departments resulting in dan gerous reduction in the protective forces.

 The management-labor commit- tee held an all day meeting yester- day with both industry and labor officials from New Bedford who have denounced the program as useless and unnecessary.
 At the end of the meeting com- mittee members said they had agreed on certain changes which they would submit to McNutt to- day. They would not reveal what changes they had in mind.
 However, Joyce O.Hara, represent ing the U. s. Chamber of Con- merce, said the committee felt that compulsory measures would not be necessary if full use" was made of voluntary methods of recruiting workers for essential industries in the area.

Star s Maid
 Found Dead
By MURRAY M. MOLER

Hollywood, March 17-UP)-A complete investigation was ordered today into the carbon monoxide death of Mrs. Vene Benham, 40, actress Merle Oberons maid.
 Her body was found late yester- day in the garage at the screen stars beach home, Shangri-La, where it had lain for five days while police searched for trace of Mrs. Benham and Miss Oberon's missing Cadillac coupe.
 The search started Monday when Miss Oberon called police after the maid failed to return from an er- rand on which she was to pick up some mail, groceries ard Swedish masseuse and take them to the actress town house in West Los Angeles.
 The body was found by two ex- terlninators who went to the beach home to inspect it for termites. Miss Benham's body, clad in a top coat and modest dress, was curled up in the front seat of the car. The doors of the garage were closed but not locked.
 It. Garner Brown of the sheriff's homicide squad said he believed Miss Benham committed suicide but he admitted she could have died accidentally.
 A rear tire on the automobile was flat. The ignition key was on and the gas tank was empty. Blood stains were found on Mrs. Benham's mouth and near the flattened tire.
 Officers believed that when she parked in the garage and discovered the fiat tire, she left the motor run ming while she attempted to fix it.. While working, they said, she might have suffered a nose bleed, climbed into the seat to rest and was over come by carbon monoxide gas.
 If she had committed suicide, the bloodstains on her mouth could have been caused by hemorrhages police said.
 Miss Oberon could offer little help to solve the mystery. Pretty Marine Benham, photographers model ana daughter of the victim, said her mother had never recovered com- pletely from an operation two years ago.
