TO teach others. he taught him
self and brought his team to the
top flight of inter regimental
competition.
When World War I was won
M un batten mstriculated st
Cambridge under an Admiralty
arrangement by which young
naval officers catch up on their
interrupted education.
In the spring of 1884, Mount
batten was appointed to COM
mand his first destroyer. the
Daring.
When he was made a captain
two years before the war,
Mountbatten was the youngest
in the Navy. He took the Senior
Officers War Course and the
Higher Commanders Course
the latter for generals.
Mountbatten was given his
first big command in 1899 -
the K-Class flotilla of destroy
ers, the latest and finest. A
number of his suggestions for
improving destroyer design had
been accepted, of which the best
known is the new bridge fitted
on the Tribal and later class
craft. Mountbatten supervised
construction of his flotilla-lead-
er Kelly and that of the other
destroyers of which he was to
be in charge.
LED FLOTILLA
He commissioned the Kelly In
three days instead Of the Gus
tomary three week, and had her
ready for sea the day war was
declared. She had to be repaint-
ed dark gray, and the first man
over the side in overalls with a
paint brush was her captain. The
Kelly was mined in December,
1899, and torpedoed in May,
1910. On the second occasion
she was four days in tow while
under constant attack. While
she was being repaired, Mount
batten led the flotilla from other
destroyers.
Aboard the Javelin he fought
the night action In which his
ship had her bow and stern
blown off. The spring of the
following year found him again
directing operations from the
Kelly, based chiefly at Malta,
then under daily air attack. His
ship was finally sunk by a l.
OOO-pound bomb in an attack
by Stukas during the Battle of
Crete.
When the Kelly was mined,
one man ran away from his post
in the engine room. Instead of
court martialling him, Mount
batten mustered all hands and
said: although most of you are
at sea for the first time, out of
$50 lin the ships company 249
b e have as l expected you
would. But one left his post.
You may be surprised to hear
that I am letting it 60 with a
caution - one to him and one
TO myself for having failed in
three months to impress on you
that I would neither expect nor
tolerate such a thing"
The Kelly was torpedoed a
year later, and not a man moved.
AS she turned over off Crete,
the order abandon Ship" was
not given. Her guns were still
firing as she plunged below the
surface.
1t was the ship which aban-
doned the crew, the members
OF which were literally washed
overheard. Fewer than half sur
vived the battle and the ma
chine-gunning to which the men
were subjected in the water.
Fortunately. Mountbattep was
one of the lucky ones.

Child Unwanfed
in Divorce Suit
ofMother; ~

EAST DETROIT - Because
she neither knew the present
whereabouts of her six-year-old
child, nor asked for It's custody
in her divorce petition. an at
tractive 23-year-old woman -
once child-bride of less than
than 16 years-on Monday was
unsuccessful in freeing herself
from husband she left six
years ago.
Her petition for divorce was
suspended by visiting Judge
Clifford Bishop, Of Flint, pend
ing submission Of proofs by the
woman as to the wher eabouts OF
her child and its security and
well-being. Until such time as
proofs are entered, Judge BiSh
op said, no divorce decree will
be issued.
The divorce petitioner was
Frieda Winn a diminutive bru-
nette, who was represented in
court by James Segesta. Eas:
Detroit attorney.
Under questioning by her at
torney and Judge Bishop, the
woman said she had been mar
ried to Earl Bruce VIM in Caro-,
Mich, on Oct. 81, 1887. She
said she endured nearly two
years of neglect on his part. cit.
ed drunkenness and desertion as
the reason why she left him in
1899.
Her child, Shirley Ann. was
born Dec. 20, 1898, and was six
months old when she left hus-
band and child, the woman petit
toner said. She said her owe
parents did not want her to
bring the child home TO them
The last time she saw her hus.
band and daughter, Mrs. VIM
testified was three and one-half
years ago. She did not explain
the circu. stances, or tell the
court where or how she had
been making her living in the
six wears of her separation.
Her petition for divorce mere
" asked severance from her
husband. Judge Bishop made. il
clear that before a decree would
be considered the court would
have to know whether the child
is being cared for and other
factors in the case.

HASTINGS, Neb.-tu.D-In-
sects will have less chance to
operate in Nebraska, now that
the state has replaced the old
power busters and sprayers
with the hedge-hopping air
plane.
Farmers, who long have been
troubled by the potato insect,
Colorado beetle. fela beetle,
psyllides and leaf hoppers be-
lieve the airplane and a special
dust compound will put an end
to their troubles.
Although busting potat o
fields by airplane is in its ex-
perimental stage in Nebraska,
% other states have reported
excellent results from the
newly originated, time-saving
idea. Cotton, tobacco, >peas, on
ions and cabbages have been
treated by plane.
With the acute shortage of
farm workers, commercial po-
tato growers laud the airplane
for treating 1000 acres of land
in two hours. when the old
conventional system called for
several days to complete the
task, weather permitting.
Field busting usually is done
about dawn. Experts claim that
in early morning the wind is at
a minimum and there is a GER
tain amount Of dew on the
vines, helping. to set the dust on
the foliage. The plane flies four
to feet above the produce.

Strike Idle
Expected to
Slump Soon
Nv the Associated Press

A cut in the nations strike
total from the current $4,000 ap-
peared likely today in view Of
probable settlement of three
major work stoppages IN Detroit
involving some $4,000 persons.
The settlements. if effected
would have the total number
of workers idled by strikes and
walkouts across the country to
around $1,000, which would be
the lowest figure in the past sew
eral weeks.
Negotiations resumed today
between the Detroit Retail-Lum-
Der Dealers Association and AL
officials over the dispute which
has closed about 200 Lumber
yards and idled approximately
10000 workers. An early end
ing of the Walkout was indicated
after yesterdays meeting.
Closing of the yards in the
Detroit area by management re-
suited from strike last month
in 81 yards. The AFL Carpen-
tiers district council had demand
ed wage increases and a closed
shop.
A special investigation hear
ing was called today in Detroit
by the Regional War Labor
Board in the shutdown Of two
Detroit Steel Products company
plants stemming from strikes in
volving 900 employees.
Also in the motor city, some
1000 workers in the three plants
OF the Federal Mogul corporation
closed for II days, were sum-
moned to a back -to-Work NEE
ing of local 202. UAW-CIO. A
Union official said new develop
ments" had arisen in the dispu-e
which followed discharge of two
union stewards.
A strike of more than two
weeks by 800 employees at the
Libby Mcneil and Libby plant
III Portland, Ore, ended yester-
day, while near Klamath Falls,
Ore, 400 workers in three log
ging camps quit work after a
Waterman refused TO join Go
Union.
No important changes were re-
