| Marine sergeant and die on bloody Two.
 Frances wanted to tell his general what a fine brother Jim was. She wrote Brig. Gen. Clifton B. Gates commander of the Fourth Marines It was a story about boy and his sister who loved each other very much.
 The Marines won't let buddy down Jim wvu1d do the same for them, his buddies said. They pitched ip $100 to buy the white chiffon evening dress. Gen Gates sent the orchids. They were Fran ces' first.
 With the orchids was note:
 "The commanding general, off, cers and men of the Fourth Ma rine Division wish you many happy returns on your 18th birthday. And we wish you all the joy and happi- ness in the world in the years to come.
 "Yes, you are a brave girl |"
 The Marines sought proxy for the dead brother to take Frances to the dance.

Artist Wants His Pointino
By JOAN YOUNGER

New York, June 14-CUP)-Paul Meltsner, artist, disclosed today that hidden painting of an American flag hangs in the Argentine Nation al Museum at Buenos Aires-and that he wants it back.
 His painting of the flag, Meltsner said, was hidden because it was painted under another painting of Martha Graham, the dancer The flag should have started appearing through the pale blue background of the Graham portrait by this time he said. It would hang six feet tall, he added.
 This is not something which either I or the Argentinians are likely to like" Meltsner said in an interview in his Greenwich Village studo. T want that portrait back as cultural protest. feel that no culture of any significance can ex- lst under a regime sympathetic to F'acist ideologies-like Argentina is'.
 He said he painted the large por- trait of Miss Graham in 1889, and, by chance, used an old canvas on which was painted girl holding an American flag.
 The model had disappeared and I abandoned the painting" He said, "so when I needed a canvas in hurry I used that one"
 The Graham portrait then was given to the Argentine government in 1940 'in keeping with the good neighbor policy" Meltsner said. A similar portrait of Miss Graham also was given to Sara Delano Roosevelt Memorial House in New York.
 MeltSner said that because the new portrait was painted so soon over the old, and because the ob- scuring color was a light blue. the chances were that the flag might have begun to show in 1943 and now might be well on its way ito burn them up-if they take loow."
 He said he had written both the president of Argentina and the Ar gentinian ambassador to Washing ton asking for the portrait back.
 T want to give it to the war bond drive" Meltsner said. Eight of his paintings recently brought sales of s, 3,00O.0 900 in war bonds in Los Ang- eles.
 T figure that's the way to get even with those guys" he said.

War Spells Gals Dream
By JAMES F. FOWLER

Macon, Ga, June 14-UP)- Dawn shattered a dream today fol 18-year-olo Frances Newman who danced till late by candlelight last night in a soft white evening gown to keep birthday date with her dead brother.
 Sunup and the make believe was over. She was Frances Newman, year older. Her brother lay bur- jed on Two Jima. The other Mar inc hero who danced with her as brother Jim had planned was on his way back to his barracks. At the foot of her bed was the $1OO evening dress, and in a water glass, dropping little, were the two white orchids she wore last night.
 Eight o'clock, she was on her way to work at Robins Air Field.
 Last night was the biggest mo- ment of Frances life.
 Two years ago, her kid brother, James R. Newman, promised her he would get her the loveliest gown and the finest orchid money could buy. He would be back by then, he said, and they would go dancing. Then he went away to become a

Godoy Eager 10 Fight
Louis Here for Only
5Per Cent Of Gate

Arturo Goday, via his mouthpiece
AL WE'LL, via an enterprising press
agent. came out with a statement
today that he will be willing to ac-
cept a mere per cent of the gate
to clinch a third title bout with
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis at
Griffith Stadium in September.
Such was the latest communique
issued by the Liberty Athletic Club
otherwise known as Goldie Ahearn
who is making final plans for Mon
day nights ball park bout between
Godoy, otherwise known as the
South American heavyweight cham
pion, and Buddy Walker. The Louis
bout is contingent upon the consent
of the man who controls all topflight
boxers, otherwise known as Mike
Jacobs.
Godoy's angle is that he wants
the per cent only for training
purposes, and he insists that some
organization such as the Red Cross
benefit from the bout. Other pro-
viso is that Louis, now a tech. SER
geant in the Army. must be dis
charged in time to get set for the
fight.
Both Godoy and Walker are to
report here tomorrow and will work
out in public at the Liberty Club
gym through Saturday. Godoy will
go into the ring daily at 2 o'clock
and Walker at $3.50.

Tight Hurting Marks
Wins by St. Adams,
Wilson, Western

Schoolboy pitchers are firing
briskly at that mark set by Paul
(Dutch) Schaeffer OF Eastern wien
he chalked up a no-hit, no-run
mound performance against Central
recently, and some excellent per-
formances are resulting.
Although rainy morning caused
officials to transfer yesterdays in
terhigh games to today, clearing
afternoon skies permitted the play
ing of three non-series games, all of
which featured tight pitching.
Josh Dorsey Of Wilson and Derrick
Daniels of st. Adams both turned
in two-hitters, while Gene Gould of
Western, following two other twirl-
ers on the hill, yielded but three
bingles.
Dorsey's flinging enabled Wilson
to blank Bethesda, 2-to-0, on the
Tiger diamond, Daniels turned back
Landon, 4-to-3, at st. Adams, and
Gould's work defeated Dewitt, 2-to-
l, at Western.
Don Ferguson of Bethesda yielded
only three hits in losing to Dorsey
and Jack Leachman of Landon gave
up but two in going down before
Daniels.
In the Wilson Bethesda thriller 1t
was Tiger Shortstop Rem Lane who
drove in the first run in the sixth.
