without water" Mai. Wermuth told
the newspaper Stars and Stripes, re-
calling the Bataan death march
perpetrated under Yamashita's
predecessor, 1t. Gen. Masaharu
Homma, now under arrest in Japan.
IF he stops for a drink, jab him
with a bayonet. At the end of the
march, If he hasn't got dysentery,
give it toe him. And then would
take him to America and hang him
in the biggest stadium there" 20

ing more than 100 Japanese behind
the enemy lines before he was cap
tured, arrived in Honolulu aboard

Mysterious Shooting
In Tavern Is Fatal
Ito Former VINO Aide
By the Associated Press.

6y lnt ASSOCIATED PresS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Joseph Nc
Knight, 46-year- old automobile deal
er and former War Manpower Com
mission consultant in Jacksonville
Fla, died last night of two bullet
wounds received Tuesday night after
a mysterious shooting in a Loop
tavern.
Police Capt. Thomas Duff said
that Julius tDollie) Weisberg, for
mer Chicago night club owner, was
being held without charge.
Chief Justice Harold G. Ward In
Criminal Court yesterday refused
to release Weisberg on a writ of
habeas corpus sought by his attor-
ney. He gave police until 2 pm
today to accumulate evidence on
which to base a formal charge
against Weisberg.
Capt. Duffy said Mr.. Mcknight
earlier had identified Weisberg as
the man with whom he quarreled
in the tavern-the Regent Room on
North La Sale street. Capt. Duffy
said Mr.. Mcknight was unable,
however, to identify him as the man
who fired the shots which fatally
wounded him in the left shoulder
and abdomen. Police sought to find
some of the so persons who were
in the tavern at the time Of the
shooting.
Police said Mr.. McKnipht had
been employed by the VINO as
an administrative field assistant,
with headquarters in Jacksonville,
from March, 1914, to last August 81.
He recently returned to Chicago and
was placed in charge of sales for
an auto firm in suburban Evanston
and was organizing sales force.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.--Sergt.
Lew Ayres, former film star summed
by the public when he refused to bear
arms as conscientious objector, Is
back in his homeland-a soldier
praised by his buddies as "a good
guy and a good GI."
Yellowed from atabrine and look
ing older than his 36 years, Sergt.
Ayers said he was uncertain about
his future.
II don't mean to be eyasive about
my plans, but just now I have the
bewildered lock and feelings of any
soldier coming back through the
Golden Gate" he grinned.
Typical of the change in public
feeling toward Sergt. Ayres was his
reception here yesterday when he
walked down the gangplank of the
transport Cape Meares after %
months of service In the Southwest
Pacific.
Crowd Applauds.
1t was a friendly and curious
crowd that applauded him a little
more loudly than 1t did the other
l,756 Army men who debarked from
the ship.
His answers to reporters were
almost the same as those of any
other returning soldier: II just don't
know I must think about 1t
hard question to answer"
He was sure Of several things,
however.
He is not as ready to enter the
ministry as reports from overseas
had Indicated: Il want to do some
thing more directly"
He plans to continue his paciist
work in some way or another: "I
want to do something to teach men
to understand one another, to love
each other as neighbors; I want to
do anything I can to help world un-
derstanding.
May Act in Film.
He Is attracted by some Of the
documentary and educational films
which have almost a spiritual quail
ity. and might act in some of them.
