AUTO FUMES
Kill COUPLE
General Patton

THE DEATH of Gen. George S Patton Jr.
from injuries sustained In an automobile
accident in Germany casts pail OF gloom
over the Christmas festival for every member
of the armed forces of the United States, and
for every American citizen.
Gen. Patton was grand soldier and an
inspired commander.
He was one Of the handful of men on the
Allied side of the recent war of whom 1t could
be said the burden of the conflict rested upon
them, with victory in the balance.
He carried his part of the burden in
manner that assured the victory, playing
vital role in the crushing defeat Of Germany
and taking place in the annals of military
history beside the truly great soldiers of the
world.
HOWEVER, it was not only as soldier
IL and commander that Gen. Patton was
honored and loved by his comrades and his
countrymen.
He was great AMERICAN as ueu as
great fighting man.
He loUed the country he Was fighting for.
He cherished the free way of life of his
country, the preservation of LOhich he con-
sidered to be the object of the conflict.
He gloried in the courage and faith of
the millions of American boys uOho tOere uOiH-
ing to fight and die for that Uay of lite.
Gen. Patton had great responsibilities in
the recent war, and superb qualities of mind
and heart for meeting those responsibilities.
His men had an affection for MIN re-
served by fighting men for those commanders
in war, rare in military history, who combine
the highest conceptions of duty with genius
for accomplishing the strategic aims of war
and with an undertaking concern for the we'll
being and safety of the men under their
command.
There was never place of hardship and
danger into which Gen. Patton sent the men
of his command that he did not go himself.
THERE WAS never hazard or an ordeal
Of war which any man under the COM
mand of Gen. Patton confronted without the
sure and comforting knowledge that the man
responsible for showing the way was himself
leading the way and taking all the risks and
enduring all the hardships of the men in the
hardest part of the fight and closest to death.
The fighting men of America bow their
heads to the memory OF this groRdest of
fighting men.
The people of America. now enjoying the
peace and freedom for which he fought so
well, hold him in dearest memory infinitely
saddened by his untimely and tragic death,
but having a sense of exaltation in the fruit
full and valiant manner of his living.
Gen. Patton will live forever in the hearts
Of the American people. ~

WAC Aims ToAnnuI Marriage

Berlin, July 31.-(UPl-WAC Sgt. Kanella Korlouvaris took initial stepstoday to have her marriage to Capt. Carl G. Schultz annulled.
 She conferred with German civil authorities at the Borough Head quarters where she was married to Schultz July g. Schultz since has been discovered to have wife in Chicago. It was learned that she will be able to obtain an annulment under sections of Army regulations entitled procedures to facilitate the marriage of certain persons in Ger many" The clause provides that the court may nullify the marriage at the request of either spouse and also if "tte spouse is mistaken with respect to such circumstances which had she known the actual facts would have prevented her from mar rying."
 Schultz was questioned by the Arny's Inspector General. He claims he thought his wife had died in Chicago. It was understood the case again him hinges on whether he cancelled his allotment to his wife at the time he claimed he heard of her death.
 The Army clamped down on all news concerning the investigation but promised to release findings when the investigations are com- plete."
 Neither Sgt. Koulouvaris, nor Schultz were available for comment, but the last person to talk to the Captain said he had become high ly emotional and seemed almost near the point of breaking down. He even sobbed at times. An elaborate religious ceremony which was to have followed their civil ceremony was called of when Mrs. Ruth Schultz at Chicago said she was very much alive, married to the Captain and had two children to prove it.

Cool Crisis
 Still Acute

washington, July 31-(UP)-Sen. Harley Kilgore, D., W. Va, called today for three quick steps to meet the "coal crisis in this country and Europe.
 They were:
 1. The Army "had better back down" on its refusal to release 30,000 coal miners for U. s. mines GOT face a bad situation at home, where coal reserves are non-existent."
 3. Russia should join the Anglo American combined boards to make her raw materials, including surplus coal in Poland and German Silesia, available to the international pool of materials in short supply.
 3. The Allied control council for Germany, as soon as 1t works out an unified policy for the entire area. should appoint an American coal administrator for all Germany be- cause frankly we are vastly super for to the British. and the Europeans in coal mining"
 "There must be integration or transportation and coal if Europe Is to survive through the winter" he said.
 "The resources of Germany must be pooled-and the primary re- source is coal. The joint council also should call on other producing areas like Sardinia. Trieste and the bal- kans.'

No Definite Conference
 News Ready
BY MERRIMAN SMITH

Potsdam, July 31-(UP)-The big three were believed today to be holding what may be their final conference after a two-day delay caused by the slight illness of Prem fer Stalin.
 However, there was no definite news on the conference.
 A spokesman said that he had no information.
 'The meeting of the big three is supposed to be going on but we don't know for sure," the spokes- man said.
 GA London dispatch said Prime Minister Attlee was expected to re- turn to London in time for the open ing of the new parliament tomor- row and might arrive in the British capital tonight0
 Stalin In Berlin
 Stalin was confined to his Berlin quarters Sunday and Monday by his physician for what was described as a slight indisposition"- 8 slight cold or indigestion.
 Discussions Continue
 There was no explanation why of- ficial spokesmen told newsmen that the three leaders were continuing to meet during the period while Stalin was unable to attend the sessions.
 Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov met with President Truman and Prime Minister Attlee on be- half of Stalin Sunday.
 Molotov also conferred with U. s. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes ana British Foreign Secretary Ern- est Bevin both Sunday and Monday.
 The conference originally was scheduled to have ended yesterday with an important communique, but Stalin's illness prolonged it through today and possibly tomorrow.
 Although delay first was disclosed last night. heavy censorship at the top made a major mystery out of it by banning all mention of the req son for the interruption.
 It was believed that the three chiefs of state still have major de- cisions to make an explosive prob- lens relating to the Japanese war and occupation of Europe.

King,Trumon Plan Meetinq

London, July 31-(UP)-Well in- formed Whitehall sources said today that President Truman will land on British soil late this week and be breeted by King George.
 Informants reported that the King will go to some British port prob- ably Plymouth, to welcome MT. Truman to Britain in meeting un- precedented in Royal history.
 Indications were that the meeting would occur Thursday or Friday. That presumably meant that the Big Three meeting will end.
 The King originally was sched- uled to leave London by special train tonight, the Whitehall sources re- ported, but the plans were changed because Premier Stalin's indisposi- tion delayed the Potsdam proceed ings for two days.
 The Times of London said Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee will att tend the opening of Parliament here tomorrow, supporting the belief that the Potsdam conference was almost over.

MoscoIo Asks Longer Term ForJudges

Election of judges of the lower courts of Connecticut by the general public, a longer tenure of office and substantial increase in salaries for the successful candidates were ad- vocated last evening in the broad cast of the Connecticut Forum of the Air by Atty. Edward Mascolo of Waterbury.
 Prefacing his suggestion with the statement that 32 years experience as a practising attorney and six years as a judge have given him an insight into the necessary re- quirements of judges, Attorney Mas colo. in the development of his pre- mise concluded that perhaps it would be better for Connecticut if all Judges were elected rather than nominated by the General As- sembly or named by the governor. Nomination by the governor and confirmation by the General As- sembly offers little choice in the present setup.
 S-Year Tenure Favored
 Judge Mascolo stated that he was in favor of judges being chosen for an eight-year term with a com- mensurate salary for the qualifica- tions required. He was in favor of annual compensation of SIS, 900 or $17,5O0 a year and remarked that other states find 1t an excellent in- yestment. He declared that the interests of the community, eS- pecially in view ot domestic prob- lens that are continually mount ing in courts, demand that the most capable of men be selected. men of tact, understanding and sympathy.
 The discussion of judges over Station WATR and the Yankee Net work, revolved about the question, "How Can We Improve the Lower Courts of Connecticut" The parti- cipating speakers in addition to Judge Mascolo, were State Repre- sentatives Charles Henchell of New Haven and oscar Petersen, Jr, of stratford and Atty. Ernest Copoz1 of Bridgeport, agent for the Selec- tive Service Boards.
 More than $1,000000 in salaries are involved in the appointments

GI, IA, Back From Nozis

Houston, Tex, July 31.-(UP)- Robert KelSo, 14-year old wearer of the Purple Heart en route to his native Texas, can be sure of a royal welcome when he returns from a year in the Army. His family has even forgiven him for running off and enlisting at 13 while his mother thought he was at Y. M. c. A. camp.
 Robert" his father, Fred Kelso, said firmly, ''can do whatever he wants to. Maybe he'll want to go back to school" he added hope fully.
 The six foot private, who arrived in the U. S. Sunday with 1862 other homecoming veterans, is g born salesman" his father, a Hous- ton insurance man, said.
 Last July, he said, the youth sold himself to the draSt board as 8 young man just turned 18. He was well along in his training at Ft. Sill, Okla, before his mother, who lives at Tulsa, Okla, discovered her son wasn't away at boys camp.
 When I learned what he had done, told him. Well, son, it's your life but take care of it," the father said.
 It wasn't until young Kelso walked down the gangplank with his buddies that the secret was out: that he wouldn't be IS years old until Sept. IS.
 Kelso earned the Purple Heart when he was bayonetted by Q Maxi soldier at Opperhopen, Germany while serving with the S42nd armored division. He said last night in Boston that he was worried about only two things - his draft board and his "girr'.
 He may well worry about his re- ception when he reports at Ft. sam Houston. Tex. The best guess Is that he will receive Q belated honorable discharge from the Army. "
 As for the girl friend. he need have no worries on that score.
 Gloria Meas, IS. said she could hardly walt to see him.
