News From The
 First Front

Leonard H. Sunprenant, 19, son of MT. and Mrs. A. Sunprenant, 85 Rosemary Street, New London, Conn, serves aboard this LIST now after carrying troops and vehicles stopping here en route to the States on 625-mile trip to Norway as her last mission in the European thea ter.
 She left Le Harve on May 30, joining the convoy carrying an Army Regiment to Oslo to assist the Allied Norway Force Com mander in establishing control there. There was smooth sailing, despite the ever present danger from floating mines still infeSting North Sea waters and the Oslo fjord.
 For the LISTS, the Oslo trip was the longest single run they had made, although their war jobs had included carrying troops and ve- hicles to beaches in the Italy, Sicily, North Africa and Normandy invasions, and numerous re-supply runs until VIE day.
 Next stop for the amphibious ships here is the United States. There will be shore leave for crew. men, repairs for the ships and pos sible action in the Pacific.
 The G. I. Joes are coming home -thousands of them. They are hanging their uniforms in the family closets and putting on their working cloths. While they have been away, their comrades on the home front have been protecting their economic interests, in addi- ton to giving them the weapons and supplies needed to win the war. In fact, G. I. Joe discovers that the unions have done more to safeguard his future as worker than a grateful government has &C., complished in the legislation en- acted by Congress. G. I. Joe ap- preciates all this, and he isn't like ly to pay much attention to the troubIemakers who are endeavor- ing to drive a wedge between the ex-service man and the war work CT, in the hope that in that way un- ions may be smashed or crippled. G. I. Joe is a smart fellow. He can't be fooled by the propagandists. MT. and Mrs. Alfred L. Partridge | GA Branford Avenue

 Hello Bobby and Al:
 Have arrived at my outfit, final ly, and got a break to the extent of ending up in a service company which means that I am going to be welder and truck driver. Might go to the CBI or end up as occupational troops as we are sup posed to, but it is better for me to be in this kind of company than in a rifle company any day. Have hit Stolberg, Bonn, and Dusseldorf since I've been in Hienieland and | all of 'em have been knocked to hell! Cologne was the worst, and had a look at the Rhine and Lud- endorf and Remagen bridges! The Rhine is about the size of the Connecticut River.

Senate Group Approval

WASHINGTON, July 13-lRNThe
United Nations Charter designed to
preserve peace won approval from
the Senate Foreign Relations COM
mittee today, without Dissenting

out amendment.

The treaty will be formally re-
ported to the Senate next Monday
just as it was signed by so nations

Three of the % committee men,
bers were absent when the vote
was taken Senators Johnson (R.-

HARRISON GUILTY
IN HICHAM DEATH

RALEIGH, July 10 - up -. A
Wake County trial jury late today
returned verdict of guilty of Sec
ond degree murder against Harry
c. Harrison, 19-year-old ex-marine
charged with first degree murder
and arson in connection with the
death of Mrs. May v. Higham last
Easter Monday.
Judge Clawson L. W i m S
sentenced the youth to 30 years
in prison.
Defense Attorney Leon S. Brass
field Immediately entered notice of
appeal to the State Surpeme Court
and Judge Williams ordered that
the youth be held without bond
pending the high court decision.
The jury returned the lesser YER
dict after celebrating AZ minutes.
Earlier, the defense had declined
to offer evidence in Harrison's be-
half after the State had introduc-
ed testimony from 20 witnesses.
In its first degree murder
charge the state sought to show
that Harrison struck Mrs. Higham,
71-year-old widow and distant
relative, fatal blow on the head
when the woman surprised the
youth in the act of robbing her
home. The State alleged the youth
then set fire to Mrs. Higham' S
fashionable residence to cover his
crime. A charge of arson is still
pending against the youth growing
out of the fire.
Solicitor William Y. Beckett said
later he had not decided what
action he would take regarding the
arson indictment against Harrison.
