Fourteen-year- -old Grace Wadling-
ton sat in the living room of her
home last night, surrounded by her
family and neighbors. and told of
her narrowing experience as the
captive of the man who tried to
hold up the East Falls Church
branch of the Falls Church Bank.
She was still nervous from the
hour or so she spent in the bandits
car after he had seized her to serve
as a shield to prevent a policeman
firing at him as he fled.
Was she scared?
II thought about my future" she
replied to that question, and 1t was
apparent that at first she had
doubts she was going to have a flu
ture. But then she conquered her
fear sufficiently to try to develop
clues she could turn over to police
And finally, $40 richer (here one
of her sisters let out a whistle) she
was put out of the car and tele-
phoned her father: Daddy, I've bad
news for you
Family Clusters Around.
Around Grace were the members
of her family. Her sister Jean, l6,
stood behind her chair, with Doris
Cousins, Grace's 14-year-old friend
who had been with her when the
bandit grabbed her On one side of
Grace sat her mother, and on the
other side, her 12-year-old sister,
Ann, and her brother, George, Is
Her father, David H. Wadlington,
sat across the room, looking much
relieved that his daughter was safe
home again in the two-story white
frame house at 6610 Lee highway.
Grace's blond hair was awry, be-
cause it had been a long time since
she had been in front of a mirror
She wore a white blouse with blue
and yellow figures in it, a green
skirt, and on her feet where dark
blue bobby socks and moccasin
slippers. She drew up her feet un-
til her toes were against the floor,
and nervously clutched her red
handbag and twisted a heart locket
at her throat.
Not far from where the trip be-
gan the bandit halted the car in
which he had started his fight, and
leaving tnat car, shifted to coupe.
Tried to Get Clues.
He drove down back streets and
roads," Grace said. Il wanted to
get clues for the police, so / said,
This reminds me of streets in
Massachusetts, and he said he was
from New York. We went nearly
10 or 80 miles an hour, and when
we went across the Chain Bridge I
guess we hit hundred.
HE was driving with one hand.
and with the other hand, the right
hand, he held his pistol and worked
the gear shift. He went through
one red light and about million
stop signs" she said. When he
would see a police car he would
turn down side street"
She noticed he wore a red scarf
up around his head and face, glasses
with dark rims, yellowish- brown
overcoat, and was tall. very tall
about feet 3 inches, she guessed.
His nose was large.
Gave Her SO.
At Garrison street, "up the hill,
about three blocks from Wisconsin,
he put me out" she said. He told
me I could walk back to Wisconsin,
hail q taxicab and get it take me to
Falls Church. And he gave me $40.
She was asked what she was going
to do with the SO. Sister Jean, act
ing as public relations counselor,
said Grace was going to buy War

AT the risk of being considered ungallant, this
story concerns itself with old woman who eagerly
sought the crumbs of flattery and adulation thrown
at her by the Nazis.
Paris, no doubt, had enough of Mile. Spnelly,
who claims to have made her debut at the age Of
ten in the French variety halls. Actually, it was
much Older Spinelly who first displayed her curves
as nude figurante in the .ConcertMayo music

The dispatch with which the Congress is ham

Last week the Senator from New Mexico, Dennis
Chavez, was heard from and he said enough to
alarm the down-home boys. The Senator knows that
while some of the reactionares might 60 along with
full employment legislation, most of them will fight
to the bitter end to kill permanent Fair Employ

With this in mind Senator Chavez declared
Full employment without fair employment means
the fastening of religious and racial minorities to

ator Chavez does not want this to happen, many of
his colleagues are planning it just that way.

A HAYMAKER

Superior Court Judge Thurmond Clarke of Los
Angeles may not be much of pugilist but, when it
comes TO the law he swings a mean right. The hay
maker which makes US marvel is his recent ruling
in the restrictive covenant case involving several
stage and screen personalities who are what is
known as colored
The good judge is reported to have made the fol-
lowing statements which would probably be consid-
cred seditous in sections of the country Said
he This court is Of the opinion that is time that
members Of the Negro race are accorded without
reservations and evasons, the full rights guaran-
teed them under the Fourteenth Amendment of the
Federal Constitution
Not only did the Judge declare the restrictive
covenants unconstitutional he went on to say, Ger
tainly there no discrimination against the Ne
gro race when it came to calling upon its members
to die the battlefield in defense of this country
in the war just ended" Of course, in this latter
statement the judge should not be expected to
