Michigan Police Study
Plan 10 Exhume Body
OF Mrs. Thompson

to be discussed at a conference of
police officials today.
| Meanwhile, Oakland County au-
thorities awaited the arrival of Law
renee j. Theis, 20, who waived extra
dition in New York yesterday to re-
turn here for questioning in the
shooting of Mrs. Alberta Young,
wife of Port Huron Army officer.
State Police Capt. Donald S.
Leonard, chief investigator of the
murder of the 47-year-old Mrs.
Thompson, said the restudy might
be ordered after police and medical
authorities confer on some aspects
of the case.

eve are particularly interested in
some slight stab wounds found on
the victims body and may want to
exhume her body to determine more
about them and also to restudy her
head to reassess the damage caused
by blows from her murderer" Capt.
Leonard explained.
The State police official said there
was no doubt that Mrs. Thompson
had been murdered in the lonely
lane where her body was found by
some hunters on October 13.
Previous reports indicated she had
been slain elsewhere and her body
dumped into the lane, but Capt.
Leonard said police had found con-
siderable blood stains in the area
and were convinced she died there.
Investigation of the shooting of
Mrs. Young, wohse bullet-pierced
body was found in a river near
here on October 81, hinged on
questioning of Theis and a former
Detroit police lieutenant, Edward
Belim. Both were formerly CO.
workers of the woman.
Theis was due to leave New York
today in company with three Michi-
gan police officers and is to be quer-
led regarding his friendship with
the dead woman. Theis was named
nj f1rst-degree murder warrant in
the case, but police subsequently
indicated he had offered an appar-
emily alright alibi for his move
ments on the day of the murder.

Some Of the business experts are calling
upon President Roosevelt to assure the people
again that wild initiation or even moderate in
flation will not sweep the country There has
already been considerable of it despite public
pronouncements now and then that it's really
very small. You know better, don't you?
But it will take more than presidential ~e-
assurance. 1t will require cooperation on the
part of the public VIII; oh is always, in the end.
responsible for most initiation. The public loses
its head and goes wildly to bidding up prices.
This is a matter where people themselves by
proper self-restraint may do more than can
be done in any official proclamation against
initiation.

A Peevish Complaint

The London Daily Mail in an editorial titled
"A Sluc on Monty, complains of the lack
OF credit and authority given Field Marshal
Montgomery for his part in stopping the Ger
man breakthrough in Belgium.
It implies that Marshal Montgomery was
chiefly responsible for stopping Rundstedt's
drive, and that his talents are being wasted.
1t terms as Unnecessarily offensive the ex-
PLANTATION by General Bradley that the mar
shalS new command is temporary
Judging from this, British criticism of the
United States has now extended from the field
Of political policies and attitudes into that Of
military operations. And that would not only
be great pity, but decidedly dangerous.
Of course, one editorial does not necessarily
reflect nations state Of mind. And it should
be remembered that criticism makes more
arresting reading than praise, with the con-
sequent possibility that American correspo-
dents may have been cabling back a larger
share of British writer's disparaging observa-
tons.
Nevertheless, even such editorial does
considerable dlsserVice to Anglo-American
unity and to the military leaders in question
Its tone is in sad contrast to the generous
General Bradley.
And it contradicts all published reports from
General Eisenhower's headquarters, which
contain nothing to indicate that the quick and
decisive actions against the German attack
were not made in an atmosphere of harmony
and mutual respect.
The war records of Generals Eisenhower
and Bradley and of Marshal Montgomery are
of sort to inspire confidence, and there is
nothing in the last months events in western
Europe to shake that confidence. In view of
those records it is nothing short of insulting
to suggest that Marshal Montgomery is being
kept down for personal OF political reasons.
The extent of Marshal Montgomery's COM
mand is based on the extent of British par
ticipation in the western European campaign.
An American is supreme commander for the
same reason that a Frenchman was in the
last war, because his country is providing the
major force of men and equipment.
So the Daily Mails editorial seems to lack
good judgment well good taste. Perhaps
its author, being human though anonymous,
was simply feeling petulant and peevish that
day. Like other Britons, he is going through
his sixth winter of war, with its attendant
danger and anxiety and privaton. He prob.
ably had good reason for being out of sorts,
and we hope the editorial relieved his feelings.
But Allied unity cannot stand too many
such pieces. For one thing, they play square
ly into enemy propagandists' hands And for
another, they plant in readers minds t h e
false and dangerous impression that our Al
lied commanders are playing petty politics
when lives and victory are at stake.

Washington Calling
BY Marquis Childs

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-For all
the Allied world, the postponement
of victory in Europe has been a
crushing blow.
But if we feel it here in Amer
lea, especially the prolongation of
the tension which is the state of
mind of millions with sons and
fathers and husbands in the fight
ing, consider the plight of one
small country that for nearly five
years has known no surcease from
suffering.
Virtually outside the orbit of the
Allied victories of 1914, Norway is
almost forgotten country. Yet
Norway was an ong the first of
the western democracies to come
under the tyranny of the Nazis.
Not long ago, the Norwegian gov
ernment-in-exile asked the Allies
to invade Norway, and that ap-
peal had in it note of despera-
ton.
When l was III Sweden a year
and a half ago, Norwegians VINO
came out of their country via the
underground took a grave view of
what another winte- of Nazi oceu-
patton would do. The Norwegian
people had not starved, but they
were close to thu line.
Inside Norway, they were pin
ming their hope on liberation in
the spring of 1914 The theory
and it certainly was not confined
to Norway--was that Germany
could not last through another win
ter. Lacking any real hope, the
Norwegians lived on rumors of
hope which went in waves via the
underground.
Now they are enduring still an
other winter of Nazi occupation.
The reluctant sun sheds a thin
light for little while in the mid
die Of the day. The rest is dark

Latest estimates put about 20O,-
600 Germans in Norway. The army
OF occupation is comprised Of
more than 100000 troops-about 1C

each. For the most part, these are
young boys or middle-aged men.
The German civilian organization,
the Gestapo and the Todt slave
labor battalions under the Ger
man lash, make up the rest. And
many Nazis have their wives with
them.
The invaders live almost entire
ly off the country For a time,
the Germans sent in some food.
That has now stopped. They have
said they have NJ interest in what
happens to the Norwegian popu-
lation. Obviously, this is part of
the calculated policy to weaken
all peoples as much as possible.
In the Arctic north, the Rus
slams have driven the Nazis out of
several hundred square miles of
Norwegian territory. AS the Rus
slams came in, the Germans burn
ed the villages, turning families
out of their little, wooden houses
to almost certain death in the
Arctic winter. The saga of the
wanderings of the dispossessed
women and children of Kirkenes

of Nazi ruthlessness.

He lives with a broken heart,
said the battalion chaplain one day.
HE has had too many men die in

Maybe that's it. There is nothing
in his background out of the ordi-
nary. He had no medical training
other than what the Army gave
him. He went to high school and
then got a half-year of business
college training. Then he helped
with payrolls and answered the
telephone and did things like that
for the public service company in

Another time, one aid man
