Shelton Is Accused
OF Stealing Autos in
Two Virginia Cities

Warrants charging ]. Paul Shell
ton, 1885 North Powhatan street
Arlington, with automobile thefts
in Richmond and Fredericksburg
after his release on $13,500 bail
pending trial on charges of at
tempted bank robbery and kidnap-
ing, were scheduled to be served
today when the former Arlington
auto salesman was to appear In
County Court for continuation OF
his bond.
Assistant Commemorative Attor-
ney Deman T. Rucker said Shelton's
bond on the Arlington County charge
Of attempted bank robbery expired
yesterday. He said the bond hearing
was continued until today, when the
Richmond and Fredericksburg war
rants were to be served.
In addition to the county charge,
Shelton also faces Federal charges
of kidnapping and attempted bank
robbery Federal bond was set at
$4,000 following a hearing in Janu-
ary before United States Commits
sioner Stanley King in Alexandria.
Shelton is charged with the at
tempted robbery on January 6 of
the East Falls Church branch of the
Falls Church Bank, and with the
kidnapping Of 14-year -old Grace
Wadlington, Arlington schoolgirl,
whom Shelton is alleged to have
used as shield in making his es-
cape when his robbery attempt was
foiled. The girl was released un-
harmed in the District.
Arlington County Commonwealth
Attorney Lawrence Douglas said he
presumed" Judge Hugh Reid Of the
County Court would continue the
bond on the old charge and would
set bond on the auto theft charges.
He said, however, that 1t is possible
that Shelton may be held without
bond for Richmond and Fredericks-
burg authorities.
"It is an outrage" Mr.. Douglas
said, that Shelton should be al
lowed to run at large"

of available labor by rigid rules
which prevent the transfer of men
to jobs requiring lower skill while
maintaining the wage rate of the
higher skilled jobs

TIERS, Guam, Sunday, Mar. IL
Overwhelming American superb
ority brought "the beginning of
the end" on Two yesterday after
noon, with advancing Marines
cutting the sharply reduced Jap
anese garrisons into three parts
for the kill. The enemy's power
to resist is crumbling. Admiral
Chester w. Nimitz said.
The largest part of the enemy
forces is in half -mile-square area
at Kitano Point, northernmost tin
of the island.
A communique today reported that
the 4th Marine Division which had
been held back for days on the right
flank, made big gains by pm. yes

Village Overrun.
The 4th apparently overran the
village of Higashi just west OF
Tachiwa Point.
Below the japanese half-mile
pocket on Kitano Point, the Sd Ma
rine Division holds or controls
about 1,400 yards of the shoreline.
Compressed by the 4th Division
and some Sd Division troops along
the eastern shore is a small pocket,
perhaps 500 yards long.
just south of that, larger
pocket is 1900 yards long and ex-
tends 100 yards inland.
The 4th Division, in order to
reach Higashi, had to move over
some of the worst terrain.

present rapidity of travel. He said
he exchanged farewells with For

Moscow one snowy morning, talked
in Cairo with Emperor Halle Sc

hours was chatting with President
Vargas of Brazil at his summer
