Double Check
On Theiis' AIibi
BY RAY GIRARDIN

NEW YORK. Nov. 6-Michigan
detectives today attempted to
break the apparently shatterproof
alibi- of Larry Theis. 29-year-old
former war worker charged with
Staying his one time sweetheart
near Pontiac.
Held incommunicado In the
Long Island City Jail until felony
court reconvenes tomorrow, Theis
is deciding whether he will waive
extradition TO Oakland County on
murder charges or fight his return.
Previously he said he would
willingly go back but doubt arose
when Magistrate Joseph D'Andrea
i'm Queens County felony court or
dered arraignment postponed, be-
cause of the serious charge, until
Theis can consult a lawyer.
DIsAVowS KNOWLEDGE
Theis steadfastly has denied any
knowledge of the murder of Mrs.
Alberta Rose Young, "a, wife OF
Capt. Franklin Young. who Is re-
turning from Europe. He named
score of persons who saw him in
New York last Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Although Michigan detectives
are armed with a murder warrant
as the basis of TheiS' return. New
York detectives who checked his
alibi doubt that he can be extra
dito1 if he fights through the
courts.
Officers feel he may balk at re.
turning because he faces prosecu-
tion in Michigan for being I'M ar
rears more than 81 700 in alimony.
lThey doubt that he can be taken
from New York state on this
charge.
MUM ABOUT BELLM
When he was told of the arrest
in Detroit of Edward Bellm, pri-
vate detective who first named
TheiS as a suspect in the murder.
he said:
81 don't want to say anything
about that man. I'm too pfelu-
diced. But I'D like to 20 back
and face him."
Theis is bitter over Bellm's in
reference in his romance with
Mrs. Young.
Detective Capt. Frank Nelson Of
Pontiac, Detective Joseph Pristus
of the Michigan State Police and
George Bearden of Oakland
County said the parts of Theis'
alibi they checked since their ar
rival here last night stand up.

"Our wounded are coming home

600 beds set up for wounded men,"
'The WAC needs 5000 more
nurses by March 20 if we are to
keep the ratio 81 ninety seven out
of one hundred wounded men liv-
ing. Nursing is WomaIl's work al
though there are one hundred thou
sand women in the WAC, the serv-
ice must have thousands of .addi-
tional enlistments for the WAC.
1.-The training period Of four
months is open to women between
the ages of 20 to 40 who have had
two years high school education
and no children under IA years OF
age" she said.
