Court UphoIds Rights
OF Pension for Police
lin Armed Services

The widow and children Of a po-
liceman who dies in line Of military
duty are entitled to pension from
the Police and Firemen'S Retiring
and Relief Board, Justice Jennings
Bailey ruled in memorandum opir-
ion late yesterday in District Court
test case.
He ruled In case in which Mrs.
Nan A. Thompson. 38, of 1902 Rose
dale avenue, Bethesda, Md, sued the
District government. She sought a
pension of $50 a month for herself
and $40 month for each of her
three children until they reach 16
or she remarries She asked back
pension from June Is, 1912, when
her husband Myron, then a Marine
lieutenant. died of a heart attack
while driving truck in Wellington,
New Zealand.
Mrs. Thompson contended through
her attorneys, Leslie C. Garrett and
Laurence H. Green, that Mr..
Thompson was on leave from the
department at the time of his death.
Her suit also said 31a per cent had
been regularly deducted from his
pay, to be applied to pension fund
from November l. 1923, until he was
granted leave without pay from the
Police Department, in which he was
a private, to enter the Marines.
/ The District government commended
Mr.. Thompson was not a member
of the Police Department at his
death, because under the provisions
OF the leave granted him he was
not required to return to the de-
partment after his military service,
but merely had a right to be re-
stored on his application, If still
physically and mentally qualified.
In awarding Mrs. Thompson a
summary judgment Justice Bailey
said in his opinion the District gov
eminent urged" that Mr.. Thomp-
son only had the right to apply for
his former position after his dis
charge from the Marine Corps. His
death, however, prevented his re-
turn. His leave of absence was in
the nature of furlough and did not
terminate his membership in the
police force. He did not retire"
Justice Bailey did not designate a
specific amount of money to which
Mrs. Thompson would be entitled
under his decision. This is a ques-
ton within the discretion of the de-
PENDANT" he added.

part in the Allied counter offen- sive which followed the Battle of the Bulge. The dam, holding 22 billion gallons, was a potentially dire threat to the Allied operation. Its water, if unleashed, would have submerged hundreds of square miles of territory and could have swept away uor men and equip ment like matchsticks. Its capture was imperative.
 The Lightning division launched its drive for the dam in mid-winter, ploughing through waist-high snowdrifts. battling against pill- boxes, advancing from hedgerow to hedgerow, from rubble pile to rub ble pile. While the fight was still raging, engineers reached the dam and hurriedly searched 1t for demolition charges. At any moment hidden demolition might release the raging water pent inside the walls.
 The dam was taken intact.
 It was in the gray morning of March 8, 1945, that the Lightning doughboys crossed the Ludendorf Bridge at Remagen in hail of flying steel. The crossing marked an important turning point in the war against Germany. The impregnable' Siegfried Line had been ripped open, the German defense along the Roer smashed, and the stage set for the final crushing Allied blow.

Wage Raise Imperative
