Joan Pictured
As 'Pufsuer
Of Chaplin

Los ANGELES, Jan 2 GNS)
Joan Barry today was pictured
as the "parsaer of Charlie Chap
lin TO the superior court jury
which will decide whether the
55-year-old comedian is the father
of her baby.
The picture was sketched by
Chaplin's chief counsel, quiet
scholarly Charles f. Millikan, who
fatty told the jury:
Chaplin II not the father OF
this beautiful child"
Millikan began his summation
after Judge Henry NJ. Willis had
admonished the jury 10 judge the
case by the facts and not by any
oratorical attacks on Chaplin by
Miss Barry's attorney, Joseph
Scott. Millikan cited 20 remarks
made by Scott du .ng his opening
summation Friday as constituting
misconduct"
MILLIKAN'S ARGUMENT
"You are not interested I'm
what Chaplin Is. any more than
you are interested in what
Miss Barry is" Millikan told
the jury. What 1 think of
Joan Barry means no more
than what Mr.. Scott thinks OF
Chaplin.
IF Chaplin IL responsible for
the loss OF Miss Barry's virtue,
don't you think she'd have been
here In tears telling you so?
I feel ID is not i'm bad taste 10
invite your attention to the fact
that by her own admission she
was doing the pursuing.
prior to the gun incident,
she herself said Chaplin refused
TO see her or talk TO her since
they had come To dinner at
ROmanOfi's in early November,
1892"
Millikan then recited the story
of the gun episode" on Dec. %,

a Managers
.0fWard0ut,
Face Draft

A team" of 80 business-trained
y. S. Army officers today took
over complete operation Of the
four Montgomery Ward stores in
the Detroit area.
Managers OF all four outlets
were ordered to leave the prem
ises for refusal TO cooperate.
and in Washington 1t was an
nounced that all officials or en-
ployes of the firm who refused
to assist would be subject to re-
classification in the draft.
Later the "take-over" team OF
officers under Mai. Walter Chan
ming were to meet with depart
ment MISUNDERSTANDING, oper-
atoms and oftice-to seek thei.
cooperation and dismiss them IL
it is refused.
ARMY TAKES OVER
Immediately after the election
of the managers four officers
we're assigned to operate the out
lets on Grand River and Gratiot
in Detroit and in Dearborn and
Royal Oak.
Seized with the stores were the
firms warehouses at 1858 w. Han
cock and Warren at Fifteenth.
Army officers assumed charge at
these places also.
While the taking over In De-
troit has been orderly, the seizure
of the home Offices in Chicago has
been attended by series of more
serious incidents, including fed
eral grand jury investigation Of
the firms attitude.
u. S. Atty. J. Albert Vol, in
Chicago, said he had asked the
jury, now in special session. to
investigate possible conspiracy to
defraud the government by the
company in its opposition to the
seizure, which the firm claims is
illegal.
PROBE NONCOMPLIANCE
VOLTS office said that phase Of
the inquiry was based on the COM
pany'S alleged failure to permit
the army TO move certain equip
ment, such as desks and type
writers, into the Ward executive
office and refusal TO turn over the
companys books to the army per-
sonnet.
Vice President Harold Pearson,
one of five subpenaed by the jury
last week, refused to turn the
books over to Maj. Gen. Joseph
w. Byron, in charge of the seiz-
ure, but an army officer said
today they had some but not all
of the books necessary to opera
ton of the business.

Allies Sweep
German Skies
Yanks Capture
z More Towns

PARIS, Jan. 2 GINS1-Desper-
ate German attempts to salvage
some of their gains in Belgium
and Luxembourg were reported
today in battle front dispatches re-
vealing an enemy withdrawal on
the western end of the salient.
Coincident with official an
nouncement that American troops
operating out of Bastogne had
captured Remagne and Huber
mont six miles TO the west in a
continued advance against the
southern German flank, CORE
spondent Frank Commit sent this
message from the blazing First
Army front:
1.-THE Nazis appear to be
shortening their lines within
the bulge by withdrawing forces
from the tip for concentration
above BastOgne."
YANKS GAIN 2 MILES
Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters
announced a fresh American two
mile advance between Bastogne
and st. Hubert. Bonnerue and
Moircy were recaptured and the
Americans closed in on Vesque-
vile, 2l2 miles southeast of st.
Hubert.
American positions in and
around Bastogne were extended
to the east. with enemy forces
cleared from Neffe, two miles
away.
Sharp counterattacks by Ger
man troops in the Seventh Army
sector around Bitche were alb
sorbed by American forces but
the NaZis gained a mile and a
half although failing to exploit
their advance.
The headquarters spokesman
said Allied forces in the vicinity
were more than capable of deal
ing with further thrusts.
WARDIN RETAKEN
The Americans also retook
Wardin, three miles southeast OF
Bastogne, and an unconfirmed
Luxembourg radio report said
they had again entered the COM
munications center of Wilt. be-
tween Bastogne and the German
frontier.
Headquarters said that thun-
derous battles were raging in the
Bastogne sector as a result of the
series of desperate Nazi counter
attacks in which the enemy strove
vainly TO recapture the Ardennes
communication center and cut the
American-held Bastogne corridor.
The Nazis were aided in most
places by favorable defensive
ground.
The Nazi attacks around
Bastogne admittedly slowed the
advance of Gen. Patton's troops
north of Bastogne. where they
hammered forward in the vicinity
of Longchamps in a drive which
threatened to close the enemy
escape corridor in the Belgian
salient

205 Planes Shot
Down in Raids

LONDON, Jan. 2 (UP)-Ameri-
can heavy bembers and fighters
numbered over Germany for the
eleventh straight day today as
Allied filters counted a toll of at
least POS enemy planes shot down
yesterday in furious air combats
r e m n sc n of the Battle of
Britain.
A brief announcement from
u. S. strategic air force head
quarters revealed that the big
bombers of the Eighth Air Force,
with escorting fighters, again
were blasting detectives behind
the western front, but none were
identified Immediately.
Raj BOMBS RAILS
A three-hour parade of Raj
bombers last night raided the
Vohwinkel freight yards near the
western front railway bottleneck
of Dusseldorf, and the Minister
Stein benzol plant near Dortmund
in the Ruhr.
Numerous fires and at least one
violent explosion were observed
at the benzol plant, one of Ger
many's dwindling sources of fuel.
The night blow came as the AL
lied air forces were tallying the
score of one of their greatest day
light victories of the western war,
triumph Stemming from IN
abortive attempt by the luftwaffe
to knock out a cluster of Raj and
USAAF air bases in France and
the Low Countries.
The Germans threw $50 to 800
planes into their sneak punch and
admittedly caught some of the
Allied bases off guard, inflicting
damage and casualties. At most
points, however. the American and
British filters were waiting, and
gave the raiders a sound beating.
DOGFIGHTS LITTER SKY
At least 1873 German planes
were destroyed in a series of dog
fights over the Allied airfields and
the front lines, including "a shot
down by the RATS Second Tacti-
cal Air Force and 104 by Ameri-
can pilots of the ". S. First, Ninth
and Twelfth Tactical Air Forces
Another II enemy aircraft were
downed by the fighter escort of a

armada that bombed the Dollen-
berg oil refineries and other tar

On TheScene Washington

There has been a lot of talk in the daily newspapers lately about g food famine in this country FIJI. mOrs that Americans are going to starve because Pres. Roosevelt is fOOlishly planning to send all our food to our allies overseas threats of a meat famine and a general food panic unless prices are raised.
 Beware of these rumors. They were planted in the papers by the big packing and other food conn panies who want to cook up food scare to break price control, and by the old American First isOlationist crowd that still hasn't given up the struggle to keep the US. out of the war and the peace.
 It happens to be fact that Ameri- cans are eating more per person than they did before the war, that civil lans here are eating almost three bil- lion pounds more meat per year than they used to eat More Americans can afford meat at last. If the supply is still short, it's not because for eigners are eating 1t up, but because more Americans are competing with other Americans for it.
 And this is the only country where people have been able to put on weight during the war. Here we're eating 3,3o7 calories per person per day, as compared with a preWar average of
