BY GLADYS MILLS

The Spring Luncheon Rally, last
Saturday afternoon, sponsored by
Delta Sigma Theta sorority was a
social as well as civic highlight.
The affair was planned specifically
for the purpose of giving to the
public progress report on the
Delta Home for problem girls.
Speakers representing the major
sociai agencies were present. The
real dramatic and exciting note
was the appearance of Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer's glamorous star,
Lena Horne. Miss Horne, in addi-
tion to what she added in the way
OF beauty and glamor, made a real
contribution in the brief talk she
gave.
Mrs. Slaton PresideS
Roberta Mcguire and Jessie Sla-
ton made a dynamic team, the one
giving very detailed remarks about
the history Of the Delta Dream,
and the latter making really ex-
cellent mistress of ceremony.
Speakers included John c. Dancy,
Miss Eleanor Hutzel of the Wom-
ems Division OF the Police depart
ment, Rev. Charles Hill, Mrs. Jane
Bestard, GloSter Current. DR.. Doris
Cline OF Wayne university, Judge
ID. j. Healy and Nose Walker.
Lena Horne brought things to a
temporary standstill when she
made her entrance with Thelma
Hutchins. She looks just as love-
ly as she does in her pictures, and
or course the word has somewhat
preceded her actual appearance. so
that eager eyes awaited her en-
trance and followed her to the
speakers table.
She was beautifully dressed in
q kelly green gabardine suit. with
which she wore a very severely
tailored green shirt flecked with
some shadow design in black, over
this she had casually through her
lush mink coat Her hair was in
an upSweep and she wore no hat.
II was thoughtful of Katherine
Wells 10 have the spotlight put on
when she went TO the microphone,
because We were all OF us dying
for good ~. She was very
poised and at ease as she went 10
the microphone after very lovely
build up introduction by Mrs. Sla-
ton. Miss Horne gave a very in
telligent. well worded and straight
TO the point talk on the current
subject OF the home for delinquent
girls. She was charming, that is
really the only word 10 describe
her. and she left us all more proud
and in love with her than before.

Americans Capture
New Nazi Rockets
BY the Associated Press.


AT THE BELGIAN GERMAN
FRONTIER, Feb. 3.-Enemy am
munition captured by the United
States Goth Infantry Division in its
drive into Germany includes many
Wurfkoerper rockets-the projectile
that prompted some reports of a
new secret weapon at the start of
the Ardennes offensive.
These rockets. fired from the
crates in which they are shipped,
are about S feet long and have a
warhead of about 3 feet in length
and 10 inches in diameter. They
carry about ITO pounds of explosive.
In a cylindrical tail about 2 feet
long and 7 inches in diameter,
there is a prepellent charge.
The Wurfkoerpers have been eX-
tensively employed by the Germans
in their withdrawal toward the
Siegfried Line, apparently in an
effort to conserve artillery shells.
The rockets have a range of less
than two miles and are not very
accurate but they have tremend-
GUS blast effect and set up a terry
flying roar when launched.
This weapon was new to many
troops against whom it was used
in recent weeks. It's employment
gave rise to reports of mysterious
new silent" rocket because while
it is noisy at the start, it falls
almost vertically and with little
sound. The Wurfkoerpers also are
often confused with the Nehelwerf-
ers, much smaller rockets launched
from a six-barreled protector.

To Save { Of Crew
BY the Associated Press.


U. s. 9th AIR FORCE BOMBER
STATION, ENGLAND, Feb. s.
Ever since June. 1943, when their
bomber exploded over Hamburg,
six American prisoners in Germany
had wanted the fellows back at
their base to know what George
did. George was their pilot-Lt
George Riches, former farmer
from Deshler, Ohio. He was on his
first combat mission.
An opportunity to tell what
George did came when Sergt. Ralph
Lavoie, Fitchburg, Mass. who had
been injured, was repatriated in a
prisoner Of war exchange.
In a letter from Cushing General
Hospital. Framingham, Mass. to 1t
Col Theodore Milton of Washing
ton. commanding officer of the
bombardment group in which the
bomber served, Sergt. Lavoie said
L was a ball turret gunner on
the original crew and was shot
down on the groups second mis-
sion. Four OF my crew were killed
and six were taken prisoners.
The story I really want to tell
you is about my pilot, 1t George
Riches. who was killed saving the
lives of the six remaining members
of the crew. The co-pilot was hit by
fax and killed.
Riches right arm was almost
shot off, which made it impossible
for him to work the automatic pilot
and our ship was on fire.
Riches. instead of trying to save
himself, remained at the controls
using his good arm to fly the plane
and ordered the rest of us out The
ship blew up before he had chance

Tell Of Big Profits
In Selling Pistols
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, Feb. 3.-Two soldier de-
fendants in q train looting case
today repudiated signed confessions
and said they had made big money
by buying pistols from parachute
troops and policemen and selling
them to envious soldiers.
Sergt. John Tielemans OF Glen
dale, N. Y. testified confession to
peddling looted cigarettes was OBJ
tanned under duress and was false.
Actually, he told the court, he made
large sums by buying pistols for as
low as $50 and selling them for as
high as $500.
Asked by the court if it did not
strike him as peculiar that an
ordinary soldier would pay 5000 for
a pistol, he replied:
mo; there is q lot of money
around. A jeweler in our outfit had
$4,000 he made buying and selling
watches. And there were lot of
crap games going on. We also sold
tewelry and perfume we picked up"
Nicholas j. Tanella, technician,
fifth grade, of Brooklyn also repu-
dated confession and testified he
never sold looted cigarettes, but did
make considerable money buying
and selling pistols. He said he
bought many pistols from parachute
troopers (who took them from Ger
mans and also bought them from
a French policeman.
Tanella also said he made ash
trays out of German 88-millimeter
shells and sold many of these to SOL
diers for $8.
