81 Delayed .-One of the most bril-
liant armored commanders of this
war and the finest soldier I have
ever known was Maj. Gen. Maurice
Rose, commander Of this division
who was killed by German tank
man yesterday.
Five days ago arrived with three
other correspondent at Gen. Roses
command post in a crossroads vii
lage near Atenkirchen from which
he launched what all who have
taken part in it believe to be the
most sensational tank maneuver in
history.
Gen. Rose discussed his plans
frankly as always, with the corre-
spondents and we got a tiny, dirty
bedroom in which we could sleep or
the floor.
During the conversation, his CHIEF
Of staff entered. He said, Here's a
hell of a mess, general. A lady
correspondent has just arrived anc
has no place to Sleep" Gen. Rose
gave her his bed in the caravan
He himself hadn't slept in 48 hours

Rose received the Distinguished
Service Medal for leading his divi.

'Displaying inspiring leadership

continuously exposed himself Il

Gen. Rose figured as a negotiation

Fritz Mand| Arrested
By Argentina; Plant
Due 10 Be Seized
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES April 3.-Fritz
Mandl, former Austrian munitions
magnate, was held incommrmicado
today on unannounced charges and
the Argentine government an
nounced it would seize his big metal
and plastics manufacturing COM
pany, which has been on the Allied
blacklist for six months.
The arrest was made last night.
Mandl at one time had been the
intimate of high Argentine officials
both before and after the revolution,
and long had been considered
suspect by the American and Brit
ish authorities who placed him on
the blacklist.
The decree for naturalization of
his factory called attention to re-
cent measures under which the gov
ernment was authorized to seize
control of any assets belonging to
persons whose activities had been
deemed menace to the security of
the state or the war effort of the
United Nations.
The official reason given for
seizure of the concern-the Indus
tria Metalurgica y Plastica Argen-
tina, better known as IMPA-was
that the factory was unable to oper-
ate normally under wartime condi-
tions and its closing would entail
serious economic repercussions be-
cause of the number of its employees.
Mandl came to Argentina in 1887
after transferring a large part of
his fortune-reputed to be about
$50, ,000, ,000-to this country, Uru-
quay, the United States and Britain.
He returned to Europe the same
year on an Argentine passport and
took up a post as Paraguayan
consul general at Monaco.
He has been a permanent resi-
dent of Argentina since 1898. Since
that time he has entrenched himself
in the country's economic life, in
vesting heavily in cattle ranches, a
steel plant, artificial silk factory,
munitions firms, shipping concerns
and other enterprises.
Mandl was divorced from Screen
Actress Hedy Lamar in Mexico
City in 1858 and subsequently was
married to an Austrian resident
of Buenos Aires.

LONDON, April 3.-Two OF Presi-

visers were in the same London

ton whether their presence was
keyed to the expectation of Ger
many's collapse.
They were Presidential Adviser

Committee chairman. Presumably
they would have the opportunity

end conferences with Prime Minister
Churchill.
So far as could be ascertained,
Mr.. Flynn was planning to leave
London later this week for Wash
ington, but the duration of Mr..
Baruch's stay remained indefnnue.
Some speculated he might remain
here until the collapse of the Nazis,
as the Presidents on-the-spot rep
resentative.
The threat of Nazi "werewolves"
to assassinate Mr.. Baruch if he sets
foot on German soil apparently left
him unperturbed today.

Of the enemy radio warning said he

Gen. Rose Perfect Example,
OF u. S. Soldier at His Best

Utterly weary as he was in the
evening, he invited reporters to field
headquarters for a two-hour visit
He said he got the best possible rest
talking to somebody without giving
orders.
He took his hair down in whim-
sical rambling talk. He thought the
war was near its end and he again
would become a lieutenant colonel
commanding a cavalry squadron.
He was eager for the day to come
so he could play with his 4-year r-old
son whom he left as an infant.
There were tears In his eyes when
he showed his child's photograph.
He told of the souvenirs he had
collected for him-ofiicial German
flags from Bizerte and Cologne, both
of which his forces captured; a
silver cup given him by the cap
tured German commander at
Bizerte, and all sorts of banners.
He said he dreamed of teaching
the lad to ride. He loved horses,
but saw no occasion for them in
this war where tanks got there
better
He was stern but loved
commander. He often liked to dash
for miles in enemy country with a
jeep driver. He was a man of iron,
going without sleep for days at a
time, a ruthless taker of objectives.
Such man was Maurice Rose
He was a perfect example of the
American soldier at his best.

100000 Overseas
Denied Insurance,
House Member Says
BY the Associated Press.

6y tuC AsaoCthtco EIcobs
Z Representative Philbin, Democrat,
Of Massachusetts asserted yesterday
that approximately 100000 service
men overseas are reported to have
been denied Government life in
surance policies because Of their
physical condition.
Mr.. Philbin said he would intro
duce legislation to prohibit rejec-
ton of their applications for in
surance, and added:
1T is entirely indefensible that
any boy who Is risking life and limb
fighting for his country should be
denied insurance coverage
especially when he has served under
fire and has been rated physically
fit for duty.
Mr.. Philbin said that while service
men automatically are eligible for
insurance at the time of their in
'duction, they must take another
physical examination if they decide
later to take a policy Their phys
ical condition may have changed in
the meantime.
Ironical Paradox.
THE thought of young man who
is in an active theater of war being
branded a poor health risk is an
ironical paradox" Mr.. Philbin's
statement continued, ANY boy fit
to fight for his country is worthy of
being protected in all his insurance
rights, as are his beneflciaries.
IF the present law operates so as
to bring about this unfair result, it
must be corrected at once"
H. w. Breining, assistant admin
istrator of the Veterans Admins
tration, told a reporter in reply to
Mr.. Philbin's statement that serv-
icemen have four months in which
to take out insurance without ply
sical examination.
Gets Later Examination.
II the serviceman does not buy in
surance within this time, and later
decides he wishes to, he may do so
by passing an examination. If no
medical officer Is present, Mr.. Brein-
ing added, statement from a mans
commanding officer saying the ap-
plicant is in good health will suffice.
Il think it should be made plain
that this Is mutual insurance" Mr.
Breining said. THE Government
merely is the trustee The more
poor risks we take in. the more the
insurance will cost those who al
ready have subscribed"
Mr.. Breining said he did not know
how many soldiers had passed up
their chance for insurance, later
changed their minds and were re-
jected as no longer physically fit.
But he added he was positive the

head the German holding a machine
pistol in the tank turret unloosed
a torrent of words.
Il don't understand, the general
kept saying, according to Maj. Bel

Other Officers Escaped.
Then apparently the general
thought his captor meant for him
to surrender his arms, and he took
his hands down to lift the holster
from his shoulder. That was when
the German fired.
Maj. Bellinger and other officers
and men in the armored car made
a dash for freedom and escaped
making their way to their head

Large Melon

The gift of Governor Ben T.
Laney, of Arkansas, a giant Arkansas
watermelon, accompanied by an
affidavit as to its weight of 108 lbs,
has been received by Governor Her
bert r. O'Conor at Government
House, in Annapolis.
1t was made clear to the Governor
in an accompanying letter from Ter
rell S. Cornelius, Chairman of the
Watermelon Committee, Hope Gar
kansas) Chamber of Commerce, that
ordinarily they could do much bet
ter than 108 pounds, but as Mr..
Cornelius expressed it, 'The excess
rain in this area this year has great
ly hampered the growth of our large
melons. In normal years, we raise
hundreds of melons that weigh over
1875 pounds"
Governor O'Conor's attention was
called to the fact that the seed in
this melon, which was grown in
Hampstead County, Arkansas, sells
for one dollar per ounce. It was sug-
gested that the Governor save them,
so that some Maryland farmers
might try to raise melons compar-
able to the ones which Arkansas
can boast.

RED CROSS SERVICE
SAVES SAILORS S135

SAN PEDRO, CALIF.-Locating
lost sea-bags and equipment for
Navy men returning to duty from
Disciplinary Barracks has become a
major function of the Red Cross at
the Field Station here.
This service saves the Navy man
$135, as he must have a full sea-bag
before returning to duty and the
cost of new one must be deducted
from his pay.
Each man is reminded as he re-
ports that sea-bags can usually be
traced if they are not left too long.
AS result of prompt reporting of
the loss to the Field Director and
the cooperation of the Red Cross
STATS on both the Pacific and Attain
tic coasts, this Field Station reports
the recovery of about 60 per cent
of all losses.
