stance Drexel. indicted with Ezra
Pound and six others in Washing
ton in July, 1943. on a charge of

Of information supplied by Fred

reporter, who said he learned Miss
Drexels identity by accident when
he was approached by an elderly
woman who said she wanted to talk
to him because he wore an Amer
lean uniform. Encouraging con-
versation in the hope of learning
the reaction of the Viennese of the
wars outcome, Mr. Wackernagel
said the woman disclosed her iden-
tity and mentioned the indictment.
Miss DreXel was born in Darn
stadt, Germany, but acquired Amer
lean citizenship. She did newspaper
work in Boston and went abroad

Pilot Who Sacrificed Self
To Save Crew Is Honored
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A Navy torpedo plane pilot who
sacrificed himself to insure the
safety OF his crewmen, who para
chuted to safety, has been awarded
the Navy cross posthumously.
1t. Jacob M. Reisert, "a, Valley
Stream N Y, piloted his torpedo
plane from the carrier Belleau Wood
during operations against Japanese
shipping of Ishigaki Jima, near
Okinawa, March /, l945.
Despite terrific antiaircraft fire,
1t. Reisert scored a direct hit on
the bow of an enemy destroyer, but
he was wounded and his plane seri-
ously damaged by an exploding shell
while recovering from his dive.
He set course for the nearest
friendly vessel" his citation said
"and, although suffering intensely
from his wounds, remained at the
controls OF his crippled bomber until
a rescue ship was reached approx
mately two hours later.
Fighting against unconscious
ness, he circled overhead until his
two crewmen had parachuted and
were taken safe on board the sur
face craft" Then he parachuted
himself, but was unable to release
the parachute when he struck the
water and was dead when rescuers
reached him.

ArmyN Now Has Bomber
Better Than Big,
Gen. Arnold Reveals

The Army Air Forces have a new
bomber larger and considerably
better" than the B-29 Super For
tress, Gen. Henry H. Arnold dis
closed today.
He said the new planes are capa-
BILE OF ranging over all East Asia
from Western Pacific bases, and an
aide indicated that they are capa-
BILE OF travelling 5000 miles with a
bomb load
The AAF chief. taking cognHance
OF frequent rumors that he would
resign. smilingly told a news con-
ference that that time cant be
too far of because I'm getting to be
an old man." In closing his con-
ference he said he would probably
not have many more" of them.
Discussing the future of aviation
and war weapons, Gen. Arnold said,
I'VE now have other Wis and V-2s
coming along which are more ef-
f1cient than those used by the Ger
mans"
He said the development of the
atomic bomb, better V bombs and
the new long-range planes presage
"a Buck Rogers conception of war"
The time is coming when we
won't have any crews in bombers, -
Gen. Arnold asserted, adding that
the guided missiles will get their
speed from jet devices.
To direct question as to whether
the new long-range plane is the
recently announced B-22, Gen. Ar
mold emphasized that he was talking
about new plane
Gen. Arnold said the atomic bomb
may have given Japan an excuse
to get out of the war without too
much loss of face although the Japs
already were defeated
Declaring that the strategic con-
cept Of the war in the Pacific was
to advance air power to within strik-
ing distance of Japan, he declared
that before the atomic bomb was
dropped the japanese situation
was hopeless" because they had lost
control of their own air.

Pullman Offers 10 Sell
Sleeper Business 10
Nation S Railroads
BY the Associated Press.

oS tAe hhsoCldteu freSSs
CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Pullman,
Inc. proposes to sell it's interest in
its sleeping car operating subsidiary
to the Nations railroads or other
interested groups"
The offer, an alternative to one
made a year ago, was announced
yesterday by David A. Crawford,
Pullman president. in the company's
second quarterly report.
In August, 1914, the parent COM
pany offered to sell cars and other
physical assets of the sleeping car
corporation-the Pullman Co.-to
the railroads for about 1000 900.
Court Ordered Separation.
Proposed disposal of the sleep
ing car business was an outgrowth
of a 1943 Federal court decision
which ruled the Pullman group
constituted monopoly. The court
ordered Pullman, Inc, to dispose
Of either it's sleeping car operat-
ing business or its railroad car
manufacturing business.
The new plan, said a press memo
randum accompanying the report,
includes these advantages: Because
OF another two years depreciation
the average proposed selling price
per car is lower; provision was made
for special financing of heavyweight
cars SO the railroad buying group
would not assume an 'inflexible liza
bility";; the purchase price also
would be reduced through liuuida-
ton OF items unnecessary for con-
tinued operation of the sleeping
car service.
"Effectuation Of this sale in the
way now proposed" Mr.. Crawford
said, need not cause any noticeable
change in the conduct of the sleep
ing car business, and should not
occasion objection thereto on the
part of the Office of Defense Trans
portation and the armed service
authorities"
Negotiations Are Conducted.
Mr.. Crawford reported the new
capital stock sale plan was submitted
to railroad executives May II and
that negotiations were being as
lively conducted with the railroads
and other interested groups"
Government antitrust ATTORNEYS
had objected to the 1914 disposal
plan as simply a gesture of COM
pliance" with the courts ruling. In
March. after further hearings, the
court directed Pullman, Inc, to sell
either the capital stock or the
physical assets of the Pullman Co.
within year. The court held it
could treat with the railroads or
any other persons"

Holiday for Banks
On v-JDay Appears
Unlikely Here
By HAROLD B. ROGERS.

Washington banks, which had to
remain open Wednesday and Thurs
day while Government agencies and
many other establishments through
out the city and country were closed
for the two victory holidays, prob
ably will not get holiday on vi
day either, according to most re-
liable Indications
President Truman yesterday told
his press conference there would
be no holiday on VI day, which
is to be proclaimed orly after the
official Jap surrender terms are
signed
There had been some belief here
that the President might so word
his holiday proclamation as to call
for a day of "feasting and thanks
giving" Some believed this might
have permitted banks here to close,
but the Chief Executive in his orig
inal statement on the two-day holi-
day for Government workers, and
his other two statements concern
ing the holiday situation made no
such reference.
Required to Stay Open.
officials of the District Bankers
Association made it clear that all
banks were required to remain open
on Wednesday and Thursday, which
they did. On the other hand build
Ing and loan associations, and Fed
eral savings ana loan ASSOCIATIONS
here were closed on Wednesday.
but were open again yesterday.
President Truman's assurance
that VI day would definitely not
be a holiday, appeared to have
eliminated any possible bank holi-
day here, especially in view of the
requirements CT the Negotiable Sc
curities Acc.
Some establishments in the city
which cannot close their businesses
are permitting their employees to get
a holiday next week by sparing
few each day. but retaining a suffi-
cient staff to continue to operate.
Celebration Proposed.
One possibility for a future bank
holiday here arose, as members of
Congress continued to favor the
proposal to hold a big victory cele-
bration in Washington with pa
rades. If Congress should take spe-
ciflc action declaring such a vic
tory day legal holiday, it prob
ably would be possible for the banks
to close. in the opinion of Bruce
Baird, president of the District
Bankers Association.
Harold 1. Glidden, we'll known in
Washington and suburban banking
circles, has been appointed to the
sales staff of the American Bank
Stationery Co. of Baltimore to
establish headquarters in this city,
it was announced today by Thomas
B. Sheridan, company president.
Mr.. Glidden for the past IL years
has represented the Burroughs Add
ing Machine Co. here as bank sys-
tenn specialist.
John Jacob Astor. Sd, of New
York has been elected a director of
the Rutland Railroad Co., it was
announced by the company presi-
dent, John D. Babbage of New York
City and Washington.
The Washington Stock Exchange,
which closed both Wednesday and
Thursday in line with the New York
Stock Exchange, resumed sessions
today.
Corcoran Thorn, president of
American Security g. Trust Co,
has left for vacation at his summer
home at Squam Lake, N. H.
