Boy Killed When Hit
By B. & 0. Train Here

Arthur Sonny" Coddington, 10,
of 808 Portland street Sc, was
killed instantly yesterday when
struck by B. & o. train at Six
teenth and Fairlawn streets Sc
as he was returning home from
Kramer Junior High School.
Neighbors who witnessed the ac-
cident said the youth apparently
saw the train in time to jump, but
stumbled as he attempted to leap
clear. They said Sonny was cross
ing the tracks in order to reach a
bus stop, a route most of the stu
dents who live in the neighborhood
take because it leads to the nearest
stop.
Sonny was the youngest child of
Mrs. Lillian A. Coddington, widow
In addition to his mother, the boy
is survived by two brothers, Earl
Coddington, %, Navy Department
mathematician and former in
structor at Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, and Carl, %, Navy Yard en-
ploye, and a sister, Louise, 18.
Police said the train engineer
was Barton R. Margerum, SO, of 65s
Girard street NE.

Keesling Replies to Labor.
Answering arguments of organ
lied labor against compulsory as
signment of workers, Col. Francis
V. Keesling, jr., of selective service
told the committee the pending bill
is in no way inconsistent with the
recommendation of labor leaders
that management, labor, agriculture
and Government meet in joint con-
ference to solve the manpower prob
lem.
Col. Keesling said that under the
bill War Mobilization Director
BryneS would hold such conferences
and that only after it was definitely
disclosed that manpower shortages
could not be filled by voluntary re-
cruiting would Mr.. Byrnes call on
selective service to prevail on de-
ferred registrants to move to war
jobs. At that stage, the regis
trants again would have an oppor-
tunity to respond voluntarily be-
fore the penalties in the bill took
effect
He also declared there is no in
tention of doing away with exist
ing labor management committees
working on voluntary manpower
control.

Older people might shake their
heads, but these young mothers
have no assurance of future and
must take their happiness while
they can"
Mrs. Lands described the un-
self1shness, patience and gratitude
OF the servicemen entertained at
the center.
Typical, she said, was the para
trooper who wanted to express his
appreciation.

PARIS, Jan. 17.-Three more
American soldiers were convicted
by a general court martial yester-
day of looting Army supply trains
in black market deals, despite a plea
they had been brow-beaten into
signing confessions.
They were sentenced to long
prison terms as follows: Forty years
at hard labor for Frederick H.
Schultz, Detroit, Mich; IS years for
James J. Cupp of Moline, ILL.,. and
20 years for James T. Roepke of
Kenosha, Wis. All are technicians
fifth class. The sentences, subject to
review by higher authority, also en-
tails dishonorable discharges and
loss of all pay and allowances.
Both Cupp and Roepke testified
the officers of their unit were lazy
Roepke said once he submitted a
letter for censorship and left hesi-
family because it contained a large
money order, but he said the officer
read and sealed the letter and made
no comment about the money order.
Before the verdict was announced
the three defendants were talking
with their defense counsel in cor
didor when a soldier approached
Roepke and said II have been
listening to the evidence and it
sounds to me like you are going
away for some time. 1 also hap
pened to notice you have a pocket
watch. They are pretty rare. I
know I could get a good price for

tence made Roepkes reply so re-
strained.

Other Offices May Use
Pentagon Ration Plan
nCigarette Machines

The novel cigarette rationing sys-
tenn at the Pentagon Building in
volving the exchange of nickel for
grooveo Stub to be inserted in
vending machines, is working SO
well 1t may be used in other Gov
ernment buildings, it was learned
today.
The system, developed by George
H. Duckett, manager of G. B. Macks
Corp, operator of some 1000 vend-
ing machines in the Metropolitan
Area, works this way:
A prospective purchaser of a pack
must exchange nickel at one OF
the many beverage bars or reStau-
rants in the Pentagon The slug
marked with two grooves, and a
dime are used in buying the smokes
The vending machines nickel slot
is equipped with a special gadget
which permits only the slug to pass
The rationing part of the plan
comes into the picture through a
requirement of only one slug to a
customer. No more slugs are issued
uAI 1llS ulS ddy LlldU cigar IcJtSS
placed in the Pentagon's 100 vend-
ing machines.
1t has halted the draining of
machines in one mad rush, and re-
ports from Pentagon officials indi-
cate the plan is working we'll, &C
cording to Mr.. Duckett. He said
he got the idea from Chicago, where
slugs are permitted in some pay
telephone stations Mr. Duckett
added that he is planning to equip
some 130 machines in other Federal
buildings.
The company also is preparing to
place stickers on all its machines.
They carry a picture of a pig titled
Public Enemy No. &c." and have
this caption: IF you take more
than one, your friends get none!
Think of the other guy before you
buy. Or would you rather be pig"
This is Mr.. Duckett's idea, too
In fact, Mr.. Duckett feels very
strongly about people who buy more
cigarettes than they need. The
main cause of this shortage is
boarding" he observes.
