McGlynn will conduct the services this year and he has a very interesting schedule arranged with plenty of instruc- tions, prayers, recreation and rest. Father McGlynn is well-known to many local men and has a splendid reputation for making the Laymen get the most out of the three day Retreat.
 Those on the committee making arrangements include quite num- Der of residents of Washington Hill, and inyone interested in attending are asked to get in touch with any member they happen to be &C., quainted with.
 The committee follows: President Patrick Wallace, vice-President Mi chael Caputo, Secretary Joseph Perry, Treasurer Edward P. Cog gin, promoters; Serge Belanger, Thomas Mccarthy, Michael Grout, Edward Fitzgerald, John Fitz- maurice, Sr., James Cusick, Kier- nan Heaven, William Derwin, Paul Merluzz, John Hutchinson, John Campion and Patrick Barry.

 Marks said he expected to be working" with the FBI very soon. He said the kidnapers left no ran- som note, nor had they tried to reach any member of the family.
 Marks disclosed that police had found a soiled city hospital diaper at a west side house, shortly after the abduction Sunday. He said he was unable to reveal anything more about the discovery, except to say that he was sure that Jean Eileen had been taken to the house and her diaper changed there. He de- clined to identify the occupant.
 T think it will turn out to be a woman," Marks said of the kid- naper.
 Father Back At Base
 Meanwhile, Crevison had return ed to tie Lockbourne Army Air Base in Columbus, O., after being away over the weekend. Marks said Creviston had been visiting friends in Fostoria, O., and iaad not known of his daughters disappearance.
 Creviston did not visit his family while he was away from the base, and did not come to Marion, Marks said. Hospital attaches said that as far as they knew Creviston had never been to see his wife or child while they were at the hospital.

government entree into the field. The fear is said to be predicated upon the government program ex- tending too far into low-cost hous- ing, a field which private industry could not hope to compete in against federal costs.
 The federal authorities are urging the construction of about $4 bil-
 lion in federal works projects which have alfeady been authorized by congress and have been deferred to date.
 However, these same federal au- thorities point out that there are about 100000 workers now en- ployed in the construction field as compared to 2,200, 900 in 1941. This is claimed to be indicative of the necessity for rebuilding the con- struction industry so that it may play its full part in a postwar high-level economy.
 What tends to alarm private in- dustry however are such statements as that of James P. Byrnes, newly appointed secretary of state at the time the latter was war mobiliza- tion boss. For example in his latest report as director, he said:
 Authorized Federal and State aided low-rent housing programs should also be placed under way as soon as materials become available. The authorized program today con- sists of more than 37,000 units. Ad- ditional requests by local authorities for Federal-aided low-rent housing aggregate 250,000 units covering es- timated costs of approximately $1,- 100, 100000. This program and the rural housing program of the Farm Security Administration should re- ceive the consideration of the Con- gress as worthwhile programs which will contribute to the well-be- ing of the Nation. The rate aAwhich this work is undertaken should be determined largely by the existing situation.
 Some of our temporary war-hous- ing built under the Lanham Act provides better housing than exist ing sub-standard dwellings in the same community. Under the terms of the Lanham Act, these houses may not be sold in place. I am of the view that discretionary author

charge that the youth revealed he had lied about his record.
 Never, he told the court martial, had he seen combat duty. He was never wounded. He was not award ed either the silver star for gall lantry or the purple heart. His most active service overseas, he said, was guarding prisoners.
 When his case first came to light, McGee had said that he won both medals after rescuing 8 sergeant who was wounded while the pair were wiping out a Nazi pill box on the Siegfried line.
 Actually, it was disclosed, the army had known of the falsity of McGee's statements since early last month.
 It seems that on or about June 5 he took an oath to his hero" rec ord before the forts judge advo- cate, Mai. Leon A. Mccarthy. A day or two later he was called in and again swore to the truth of the statements. After another check, McGee was summoned to Maj. McCarthy's office and it was at that time he allegedly admitted his previous statements were false.
 Of the latest AWOY charges, McGee said he had arranged to meet his father in the Y-D club at Worcester and en route there had a few drinks"
 That's the last I remember" he told the court martial. T got pret- ty we'll drunk up."
 Evidence was introduced to show that he had attended a sixth grade special" class for difficult" pupils until he was 16. At one time he had been in the Lyman reform school for truancy.
 Maj. Charles A. Angelo, a spy chiatrist from a Long Island, N. r., hospital, said he had conducted tests and found McGee had a men, tai age of Il years and months. This, he said, was acceptable for army enlistment but that the aver- age accepted mentality was IA years.
 McGee said that he. started drinking rum" in 1889 while with the army in Panama. He said that often he had "25 or 30 quarts" in his army locker. The rum was purchased for 65 cents a quart.
 McGee was represented by Capt. Frank R. Bowler of Worcester. He made no comment after Che sem tence was pronounced.

 Each wore one or more pieces q, ms Afrika Korps uniform, but the dress varied.
 Beyer was the first to dror through the trap door. The others followed at approximately 30 min- ute intervals. The trap door was sprung for scholz. last of the five at 2:11 a. m.
 Beyer, pale-faced and thin, was described by the army as the ring leader of the group which killed kunze at a Tonkawa, Okla, branch Pow camp on Nov. 4, 1943.
 In well-modulated German, Bey- CT protested, when asked for a last statement, that T can not see why this should be done to me-
 Beyer's army rank was the eouiv- alent of first sergeant in the U. S.. Army. He was the senior non- commissioned officer and the com- pany leader among prisoners of the compound in which Kunze was killed.
 Wearing his field jacket and green army trousers, complete to leggins, Beyer was dressed more nearly in full German military garb than any of the others.
 Chaplain John Sagar, formerly of All Saints Episcopal church, Buffalo, N. Y, walked to the gall lows with all except Schooner, a Catholic, who was accompanied by Chaplain George Towle of Topeka, Kans.
 At briefing prior to the execu- tions, Col. Hey and It. Col. Robert W. Reed, public relations officer of the seventh service command, emphasized that the Germans had been given every advantage, review and appeal permitted under the Geneva convention covering treat ment of prisoners of war.
 The staying of Kunze occurred after another prisoner at the Ton kawa camp found a memorandum, allegedly written by Kunze, which Beyer considered traitorous. Beyer ordered all prisoners in the com- pany for which he was leader to assemble in the mess hall of the compound at 10 p. m. on Nov. 4, 1943.
 At that meeting, Kunze was found guilty" of treason to the Third Reich and was beaten to death. Court martial testimony given at Camp Gruber, Okla, showed that besides the fists of many of the 200 Germans in the company. Kunze was beaten with a milk bottle and heavy China drinking cups.
 The verdicts of death for the five were approved by the War Depart ment and the late President Roose- welt. MT. Roosevelt affirmed the court martial verdict on Oct. 5, 1914.
 The War Department approved the verdicts for the last time on July Height days ago-and Col. Eley notified the men Sunday night of the official execution date.

 Tokyo Strike
By UNITED PRESS

A mutual broadcaStlng cor respondent reported from the task force flagship off Japan today that the strike on the Tokyo area was 8 terrific success"
 After interviewing It. Comdr. Cliff McDowell of Kellogg, Calf, observer in a torpedo bomber re- turning from the operation, the cor respondent, Jack Mahon, report ed:
 The attack on air fields, hang ars and installations, in spite of heavy ackack fire, did heavy dam age. Some squadrons encountered Jap fighter planes, but they re- fused to do battle and fled.
 Their particular target 20 miles outside Tokyo was heavily strafed, and they destroyed 60 Jap fighters on the ground. At no time did they see Jap personnel on the ground.
 Tt took them Is minutes to go off their carrier, hit the target and return to the carrier over the Jap anese coast, which indicates the closeness of the ship to the Jap mainland"

They might be sold as units to local hous- ing authorities under terms and conditions which would limit their life until better housing is made available
 This is felt to be indicative of the trend toward federal injection into the construction field which may tend to bring down the price level to an unprofitable score for private industry.
