Royal Canadian Mounted Police in his system.

Lawmaker Reports Usage
OF American Soldiers In
British Home Rebuilding

WASHINGTON, March 7.-(UP)
Rep. Robert Skies, D.-Flao, said
today that 3,40O American soldiers
were detailed to work on a Lend
Lease house-building program IN
Great Britain last December.
This country never intended tits
fighting men to be loaned to Bit
ain for house-building," Sykes pro-
tested in a speech prepared for
House delivery. But soldiers pro-
tests against being assigned to such
work have been to no avail, he
said.
Sykes, who recently returned from
secret military mission in Europe
said he wanted IAN even break for
the American fighting man and
for the American public
He said he favored Lend-Lease
as war measure, but that Lend
Lease tended to become "1end-
waste" He said restrictions should
be imposed to prevent the United
States from continuing to carry
the major burden of the war.

Attacks by Veteran
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LITTLETON, Colo, Oct, 20.--A
26-year-old discharged soldier sat In
Arapahoe County Jail today, with
out charge, while authorities sifted
a strange tale that he shot his wife
and attacked chance acquaintance
while his wife was dying.
Joseph Desrosiers of San Antonio,
Tex. was arrested Thursday night
by 20 officers as he crouched be-
side his wife's body in a car mired
in cornfield near Aurora. Dem
yer suburb.
Officers said he surrendered .32-
caliber pistol. identified as the wea-
pom used when he shot his wife
Il would have been dead, too, if
my gun hadn't refused to work
again. he was quoted as saying.
Police said he claimed his mother
in-law's interference with his mar
riage caused the tragedy.
Marie Woidill, 26, led the posse to
the cornfleld. Detective Sergt. Leslie
Sawyer quoted her as saying that

last time in the front seat of her car,
while his wounded wife, Catherine,
%, lay dying on the floor, in the rear.
She told police Desrosiers first
persuaded her to drive him in aner
car to keep an appointment with
his wife. and en- route to the meeting
place, he forced her to disrobe at
gunpoint and assaulted her After
the meeting, she said. she looked in
the rear vision mirror while driving
through Aurora and saw Desrosiers
put the gun to his wife's temple and
fire.
Miss Woidill, who said she came
here recently from Atlantic City,
N. j., dashed into Denver police
headquarters and sobbed out her
story.
She said Desrosiers got three
nearby residents to help extricate
the mired auto but they failed to see
the body. He put her, partially
clothed, into taxi, warned her not
to tell the authorities and then
apparently returned to the death
car
