to suspect that whatever happened

What Was Wrong?
1t may be the death of 8 friend

fatigue, or it may be conflicts of another
sort. Col. Hastings told the story of a
supply sergeant home from Italy, tall,
lanky Westerner. He was restless, irrit-
able, he couldn't eat and he couldn't
sleep. He couldn't understand what was
wrong with him.
Hell, wasn't even in the war;" he
kept telling the psychiatrist.

nothing at all to light, the psychiatrist

Mackall and his wife Catherine sold

uel Busey, who left it to his great
nephews, Samuel C. Busey and Samuel
John Busey SnoWden, and his great
niece, Mary Ellen Snowden, for whose
benefit it was sold at public auction by
order OF the court. November 20, 1887,
to Peter D. Posey, whose surviving
daughters now own it.
THE early history Of Springfield is an
interesting illustration of the method of
transfer of land during the Colonial pc
riod, when lands were taken up or
seized by those seeking patents from the
Lord Proprietary. The metes and bounds
OF such tracts were crudely marked by
bounding trees chipped on the side in
the direction of the line, by stakes
driven into the ground or by stones
conveniently placed at corners, and quite
often the lines thus marked trepassed
upon other tracts previously taken up
by some enterprising land-grabber.

Army Doctors Find wonder Drug Aid
In Clearing Flyers War; Troubled Minds

The young flyer lies half-asleep on
the hospital bed. From somewhere near
him he hears the doctors question:
What is it you're trying so hard to
forget?"
The words start pouring out.
II didn't mean to kill him. I didn't
mean to do it,"
He begins to describe mission over
Berlin :. fax shooting up :. enemy
planes Giving in :. the tail gunner hit
-. the landing gear shot out :. If he
can get back to his base, he must make
a belly landing -. the plane noses into
the ground, flops over :. the navigator
in the nose Is killed :. . it's all his fault
:. he should have ordered the navigator
out of the ncse before he tried to land
-. he's killed his buddy.
So vividly is the story told that the
doctor can almost see the fax, feel the
shock of that belly landing. The pilot
has forgotten nothing.
The flyer comes out of his half sleep
still talking. For the first time since the
day it happened he hears himself talk
ing about it and about his own feelings
of guilt. All the emotion he buried
almost as soon as he crawled out of the
wrecked plane is with him again-only
now it's on the surface of his mind
where he can face it and the psychi-
artist can help him do something
about it.

about something he had buried so deep
in his mind that even he didn't know it

NEGRO "ADV|SERS"
SEEM DIVIDED ON
CONFERENCE OUTCOME

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18-
(ANP)-Very strange things are
happening here in relation to the
united nations conference, and es-
pecially in relation to the reaction
of Negroes here to advise, to OBJ
serve, or to participate merely as
citizens in this tremendous event.
Talking to America'S Negro lead
ers here as we'll as with foreign ex-
perts and newspapermen, I've dis
covered a divided reaction to the
conference. Some seem to feel that
all is lost and that this conference
is going to produce nothing one
could call an important step for
ward. Others are equally convinced
that this is the greatest achieve
ment so far in mans history.
The men who see no gain are in
part influenced by the presses
pecially the Hearst press-which
has spent much of it's time and ef
fort trying to dynamite the con-
ference. The press is responsible
for the terrific hoorah over Poland
which certainly is not key issue
here. The press also tried to lynch
Molotov although they decided to
lay off that tactic somewhat when
public reaction to the Argentine is
sue proved him the champion of
democracy and Stettinius the en-
barrassed defender of fascism. AL
together the role of much Of the
big press chains here has been to
warp the picture rather than report
it.
Negroes who are disappointed
give special emphasis to the fact
that the colonial issue is not even
going to be considered. The only
non-independent areas which were
taken from defeated nations fol.
lowing this one. It's now quite
clear that none of the victor ma.
tions is going to give up any of its
colonies. And it seems that not
enough pressure exists to force any
of the victor nations to yield any
of their powers Of control over col.
onial areas-such as the right Of
investigation, the responsibility fol
maintaining standards of culture
and wages and education, etc., to
an international body.
Something of this feeling insofar
as the Negro is concerned was
summed up in recent speech here
by DR.. w. E. B. Dubois in whic!
he said:
"The problem of colonies has not
been considered and cannot be con.

SIX MILLION PICKED MEN
 TO HIT JAp5
Army Also Announces Dis charge Plans After
 Fall of Germany

WASHINGTON. May 5 The Army plans to discharge 100000 men beginning with the fall of Germany and to send 6,000,000 picked troops against Japan.
 This was disclosed today by House Military Committee members after a closed-door session with high Army officials.
 The men to be discharged, they said, will be those with the most dependents and the longest and most active service records. The Army's point system, they reported, gives the top weighting to depen- dency, followed by actual combat service, overseas duty, and overall length of service.
 Heretofore, the weight to be given each of the factors in de- termining priority for discharges has been closely-g guarded secret.
 Of the approximately 8.300,O00 men now in the Army, from 300,- 900 to 100000 comprising the re- gently y-created Fifteenth Army will be left abroad to occupy Germany Some 100000 others will be dis charged within year after VIE Day, the speed of mastering out to depend largely on available ship ping.
 The actual reduction in the Armys total strength, the commit tee was told, will be about 1,400,000 men, due to an estimated 100000 in new inductions.
 Many of those to be discharged now are on duty in the Pacific.
 The Army's Air Transport Com mand told the committee it ex- pected to be ready to move 50000 men monthly within two months after Germany surrenders. This will include men being brought to this country from Europe and the Pacific and those being sent from here, against Japan.

Marsh al States No Evi. dence of Poison Found
 Following Faint

Bravado whicl, carried Cleo Pa tricia Wilkins through the ordeal of receiving sentence in Federal Dis trict Court here yesterday, appar- ently gave way last evening, when in her jail cell she finally came face-to-face with full realization of the three-year prison term she faces for the crime of grand larceny, to which she had confessed.
 Rumors were rife in Juneau last night and this morning that the publicity-laden former belle of the Sitka red light Tine" had committed suicide, by taking poison.
 The reports followed hurry calls sent out last evening for Dr. w. M. Whitehead and a stomach pump. It later became known, however, that her attempt to take her own life, rather than serve out her debt to society, had been thwarted by the alertness of jailers.
 This morning, Mrs Wilkins was reported out of danger by informed sources.
 Marshal William T. Mahoney be. Titled the whole occurrence. stating that his fair "roomer" had suffered a nervous reaction which caused her to lose consciousness for a time. The physician and stomach pump, he said, were called for as 'precau- tionary measure" only. No evidence of toxic was found in Mrs. Wilkins stomach, the Marshal stated. Dr. Whitehead checked on Mrs. Wilkins condition again this morn ing.

NIP FORCES IN ASSAULT

Complete Humiliation in Amphibious Moves
 154PIanes Downed
By Leonard Milliman Associated Press War Correspondent

Japanese came out of their caves and suicide bases to launch a weird but coordinated land, sea, air attack on American forces in and around Okinawa Island yes- terday. It was nightmare for the Tanks, suicide for the Japanese.
 Five light U. s. Naval units were sunk, others damaged. A tank-led Japanese counter-assault and four amphibious operations behind Am erican lines were routed with the killing of many of the 4,000 at tackers, Is Nipponese suicide boats were exploded, 154 planes and a piloted flying bomb shot down.
 It was the first major counter action of the Okinawa campaign involving ground forces, a sign the Japanese command knows the campaign is lost, as they have lost the Philippines and Burma.
