year old former Navy Yard nurse,
law in hospital bed here today try
ing to solve her 'Enoch Arden" di-
lemma involving two husbands, for
the love Of whom police said she
took an overdose of sleeping tablets
in a suicide attempt.
For two weeks she has known that
her first husband, Chief Gunner s
Mate Virgil Elmo Earlywine, 80, was
back from the dead" after being
reported lost aboard the submarine
Perch in the Java Sea in March
1912.
She received a telegram a fort
night ago from Earlywine in Ma
nila saying he had been rescued
after more than three years of inn
prisonment by the japanese at Ma.
CAESAR, in the Celebes Islands.
Tuesday he arrived here and was
visited by his wife at the hospita,
where he was taken for routine
examination. She told him she haC
believed him dead and had remar-
ried. A meeting of the three was
arranged at her home for the fol-
lowing day.
There Earlywine, his twice mar
ried wife and the second husband
Robert E. Burnett, 80. also Navy
chief petty officer, talked for hours
but didn't get anywhere.
The two men said the distracted
wife excused herself and went to
the kitchen, came back pale and
faint. and moaned, Its too late

Mccarthy Resignation
Delays Byrnes' Plans
For Reorganization

Secretary Of State Byrnes' plans
for early drastic reorganization of
the State Department were set back
today by the resignation of Assist
ant Secretary Frank Mccarthy, who
has been developing the reorganiza-
ton program.
Mr.. Mccarthy, at 80 the youngest
man ever to hold such top State
Department job, was forced to resign
because of Ill health after filling the
post for less than two months.
President Truman announced ac-
Eceptance of his resignation late yes
terday after being advised by Mr..
Mccarthy that his physician had
told him rest of at least two or
three months would be necessary for
him to recover from accumulated
fatigue"
Mr.. Mccarthy, an Army colonel
when he was named Assistant Sec
retary of State in August, previously
had served as secretary of the War
Departments general staff for more
than a year, earning the Distin-
guish Service Medal in that post.
| At the State Department he was

investigated, said Mrs. Burnett told
him she had taken an overdose of
sedative because "as long as some
body has to be hurt, 1t might as
we'll be me. / didn't want to
give either one of them up"
Both husbands waited anxiously in
the corridor Of the hospital where
she was taken for emergency treat
ment. Doctors say she will recover.
Ironically. Burnett is reported to
be a one-time shipmate of Early
wine, who introduced the two years
ago.
! The woman's marriage to Burnett
was her second since Earlywine was
reported missing and presumed
dead. She married John Pershing
Ryder, another Navy man, in Cleve-
land, Ohio, in December, .1942s but
had the marriage annulled in Janu-
airy, 1914, after radio listeners said
| | Tokyo broadcasts had named Early
wine as a survivor of the Perch.
| But this renewed hope vanished
when no official word came through
from the Navy or the Red Cross
so a few months ago she married
Burnett.

Brides Overlook Document
They Signed at Wedding
BY WENDY Mcgowan,

North American Newspaper Alliance.
LONDON, Oct. 12-American SOL
diers' British brides, now Justify par
taking in the popular pastime Of
public demonstrations to demand
passages to America. seem to have
overlooked an important fact. Be-
fore marrying American soldiers,
these British brides had read and
signed document stating that mar
riage would not confer American
citizenship, would not give the right
by virtue of marriage to 60 to Amer
lea, and, finally, if they desired to
enter the United States, they must
take their place in the immigration
quota.
This was the cardinal principle
of their permission to wed. l can't
see any signs that this has been
publicly pointed out to the girls
now voicing loud demands to re-
join their husbands in the United
States Immediately.
Common humanity makes one pity
these kids who were SO proud and
happy about their marriages with
GIs, and it is useless to point out
that American wives, waiting for
their husbands to come home, have
first claim on the limited shipping
But the British girls either do not
see this or will not reason in the
matter.

To Allied Control OF Japs

Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee said
yesterday that Secretary of State
Byrnes had made it very clear" to
Russia that the United States is op-
posed to control of Japan by a joint
Allied commission.
The Texas Senator told the Sen
ate that Mr.. Byrnes favored, how
ever, an advisory commission where
our various Allies can propose and
suggest with respect to Japan"
Senator Connally's remarks came
after Senator Wherry, Republican,
Of Nebraska, frequent recent critic
of State Department actions, called
attention to London press account
that Gen. Macarthur would resign
If any four-power commission was
established to supplant Gen. MacAr-

out yesterday to their owners, from
whom the Nazis looted them during
their occupation of France.
More than so trucks were needed
to carry the objects, which Capt.
James Larwood. specialist on arts
and museums of the Augsburg mill
tary government team, said ranged
from shoes and ships to ceiling wax y
He would not estimate the monetary
value.

Loss Of Face Seen
For Macarthur Under
Reds Control Plan
BY the Associated Press.


TOKYO, Oct. 12.-The Russian
plan for a central control council
to rule Japan would cause Gen.
Macarthur to lose face among the
Japanese and impair his usefulness,
sources close to the supreme Allied
commander declared yesterday.
"Unquestionably it would cause
confusion" one informant said
Whether Gen. Macarthur would re-
sign under such circumstances was
not known, since he has never dis
cussed the matter with any one.
These sources put the problem
this way: Gen. Macarthur as the
supreme commander has been issu-
ing orders to the Emperor, and the
japanese who must carry out his
orders realize he is boss.
But should a council take over
or even if it only was on equal terms
with him-Gen. Macarthur would to
the Oriental mind lose face Much
of the. work already done would be
undone.
On the other hand, the creation
of the Far Eastern Advisory Com
mission as announced Wednesday
by Secretary of State Byrnes was in
terpreted as having no effect. on
! Gen. .MacArthur's status as supreme
commander. Mr.. Byrnes indicated
he was not in favor of the Russian
plan, which thus far has not beer
considered by President Truman.
More Experts Needed.
Asked if Gen. Macarthur would
accept an invitation to appear be-
fore the Far Eastern Commission in
Washington, one source said Gen
George c. Marshall, Army Chief OF
Staff, could order him to return tc
the United States to testify this
month.
Headquarters sources insisted the
enforcement of the PotSdam Decla-
ration was proceeding as fast as
possible; that Gen. Macarthur did
not want to issue orders faster than
the Japanese can aSSimilate them
Much of the work calls for a
high degree of technical skill
Washington has been urged to send
out the best men possible to ex-
anime banking records. Skilled men
are needed for economic, agricul-
tural, shipping and monetary ques-
tionS.
Already there is noticeable
change at Gen. MacArthur's head
quarters. The key men in the
combat organization have gone
home. At their desks are men who
played a relatively minor role in
the war but who are expert in the
fields of finance, transportation and
the like.

Parliament 10 Study
GI Brides Pleas for
Transport 10 u. 5.
BY thf Associated Press.

Ds AsSOtlAttd tIeSSs
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The problem
of British brides who want TO join
their CT husbands in America will
GO before Parliament Monday.
On the heels of demonstration
by the women demanding transport
to the United States, j. H. E. Molson,
Conservative, told Commons today
he would ask War Transport Min
lister Alfred Barnes for an estimate
of how soon the war brides will
be able to join their husbands.
1t. Comdr. Herbert Agar, special
assistant to Ambassador John G.
Winant, told TOO of the brides in a
meeting last night that homeward-
bound GIs would continue to have
transportation priority over them.
He told them they were not for
gotten but that it would be wrong
to give any of them hope that
transportation difficulties would be
overcome "in a few weeks or even
months"
