Imperial Venus," the new bio- graphical novel about Napoleons sister, Pauline, reveals that she once posed for a nude portrait.
 Wasn't it unpleasant" she was later asked, sitting before man with none of your clothes on? It must have been dreadful!"
 Not at all," said Pauline. 'The room was well heated"

Gurfein, mother of the slain child, the woman who had hired Jack as "baby sitter" Mrs. Gurfeln, too, looked desperate, and stared straight ahead.
 In the center row sat MorriN Turk, Jacks father. The elder Turk, 8 Forest Hills furrier, wore almost the same expression as his son.
 Before the trial started Lawyer Murray talked for a few moments about Turk.
 He's like snowfall" he said. Hes frozen. You can't say any thing to him. He just doesn't listen. He doesn't seem to care what's go- ing on. And he's never yet been able to say why he did it."
 Queried on Scruples
 Murray said that he would put the boy on the witness stand but I don't know what good it will do in his present condition,."
 Inside the courtroom, question ing the prospective jurors, Prosecu- tor Shapiro said "one week short of fourteen years of age on the night of Feb. B the grand jury in its in- dictment said that this boy strang- led this little girl.
 Have you any conscientious scruples?"
 This question was repeated over and over. But each time 1t made everyone in the courtroom jump. That is, everyone but young Jack Turk. He just looked at his hands and kept twisting them.

Plastic Auto Is Unveiled

Detroit, May 3(UP)-A radio ally new lightweight plastic alto mobile, stronger than steel but with out an ounce of structural metal in it's body, was unveiled today.
 The design is not entirely new according to William B. Stout, De- troit aircraft and auto designer and engineer, but the use of plastics may revolutionize car making.
 The only drawback is that with present knowledge and techn.ques. it cannot be mass-produced at low cost; therefore, the public won't be able to buy it-perhaps for years.
 Stout calls his new car the Stout forty-six", which largely is rep lica of the Scarab, built nine years ago.
 The Scarab was made of steel, had a rear engine, wheels independently sprung on air cushions, no axelsi extra-long wheelbase and larger in- terior space. The forty-six was de- veloped along the Scarab's lines.
 During the past nine years, Stout has driven the Scarab more than 165, 900 miles in tests, including coast-to-coast trips.
 To demonstrate it's riding quail ties. Stout carried glass of water on the Scarab's dash ledge with out spilling a drop"

Helsinki, May 3-(UP)-Authori- ties today professed to be mystified as to the whereabouts of Earl Browder, former Communist Party leader in the United States.
 Browder arrived from Sweden Tuesday. He reached Turku (Abo) in southwest Finland. fficials said he was without entry and transit visas. He was allowed to proceed to Helsinki after promising immigra- tion authorities that he would apply for retroactive viSaS.
 The American Consulate, police and immigration officials said they had not seen Brewder since. The Russian legation was closed yester- day and today.

Jury Seated
Jury Seated
 Turk Trial Started Despite Obstacles

New York, May 3 - (UP) - It was an uphill fight in the Queens County Court yesterday, but the State of New York finally got the murder trial of young Jack Turk under way.
 A jury of 10 men, two women, and two men alternates, was sworn in by Judge Peter T. Farrell at 12:35 p. m. after long, weary hours dur ing which both the defense and prosecution questioned prospective jurors.
 The state charges that the dark eyed 14-year-old boy who sits as if his two hands were welded to- gether strangled ti1ree-year-old Sy- bil Gurfein on the night of Feb. B, and the state demands that Turk, too, must die.
 Not Many Want to Serve
 But in this quiet, old-fashioned courtroom it became obvious that there just aren't many people will ing to sit on a jury in such trial
 Wednesday, for time, they had a full jury box. Then Isador Horn stein, number II and an insurance salesman, was suddenly excused.
 Today juror No. 6, tall, timid- looking man named Albert J. Mas soti, who works as an industrial supervisor, after thinking it over. changed his mind and decided that he, too, must step out.
 Assistant District Attorney J. IT, win Shapiro, the prosecutor, and Defense Attorney James D. 0. Mur- ray,-grey- haired Irishman, both agreed to let Massoti withdraw.
 10th Man Agrees
 Then they started again. They began their shrewd questioning. The first three prospective jurors up were turned down. They apparent ly couldn't face the thought of rul- ing on the life or death of a 14-year old.
 Finally, the tenth man question ed, Charles w. Johnson, 8 bank teller from Woodside, IT., was ap- proved by both sides.
 This meant tht 132 prospective jurors had been questioned since the trial started. Murray, of the de- fense, had used up 29 of his 30 per- mitted challenges.
 And how did Jack Turk take all these actions of his elders?
 Keeps Eyes on Table
 He sat half-crouched in his chair at the end of the long table. A po- lice officer sat stiffly beside him, staring straight ahead. Young Turk never once looked toward the jury box or at those who were being questioned as possible jurors.
 He kept his eyes on the smooth surface of the table, he never once disentangled his tightly clasped hands. Sometimes he twisted them into grotesque knots, and sometimes he made cracking sounds with the knuckles.
 Outside there was sunlight, and the wind walked gently through Long Island City. The wind called other boys to school-or perhaps to play hookey-but not young Jack Turk
 The wind said nothing to Jack. There were too many bricks, too many people, in between. He just slumped in his chair, looking des- perate and tired, all dressed up in his gray Sunday suit.
 AccuSer Looks Desperate
 Across the room, in the second row, sat blonde-haired Mrs. Ruth

Food Relief
 ITO Determine
 New Europe

Washington, May 3.-(UP)- Prank 0annett, president of the Gannett newspapers. said that the political future of central Europe hinges on getting relief food sup plies there in time.
 Gannett and eight other editors and publishers returned from @ war department-sponsored tour of U. S. military zones in Germany and Austria. They conferred yesterday with Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson soon after arriving here by plane.
 Glenn Neville, executive editor of The New Yorok Mirrord, said friction between the occupying powers in Germany and Austria was 8 grave problem. He said a central administrative government must be set up for Germany.
 ''The food situation in Austria and Germany is critical" GanIlett said. "The situation will be ap- palling in Austria after June 1. People are not dying in the streets, ' but they are living on low calorie rations This inevitably will bring bad effects"
 He said it was most important that the American people realize how critical the political situation is in central Europe.
 Gannett said the U. s. Military Government is "doing a splendid job'' and has accomplished wonders in a few months.
 Others returning included Julius Ochs Adler, vice president, New York Times; Paul Bellanly, editor, Cleveland Plain Dealer; Gardner Cowles, Jr., publisher, Des Moines Register and Tribune; Alban Earth, editorial department, Washington Post; Hamilton Owners, executive editor, Baltimore Sun; Edward T. Leech, editor, Pittsburgh Press; and Robert FuoSS, managing editor, Sat- urday Evening Post.
 Five other members of the party that made the tour will return in a few days. They are Malcolm Muir, editor of Newsweek; Henry Luce, publisher of Time Magazine; Charlss Gratke, foreign editor, Christian Science Monitor; Robert Eeed, associate editor, Kansas City Star, and Tom Hawkins, foreign correspondent, World Report.

price regulation came in time to avert a serious stoppage in ship mentS.
 Some manufacturers of suits both for men and women stopped deliv- cry yesterday, claiming they were caught in the middle" of conflict ing regulations of the OPA and the Civilian Production Administration, but trade leaders said today the interruption was minor and that shipments now were on a normal basis.
 Officials of mems Clothing Man ufacturers Associations said that textile mills had shipped goods to the suit makers on an unequal basis, sending predominately high CT priced material with the result that the manufacturers at the end of April found themselves with a preponderance of suits on hand

RetoiIers Get Men S Suits

New York, May 5(QP)-Ship- ments of mems suits to retail stores were resumed today as Q result of emergency action by the OPA, and representatives of cloth ing manufacturers believed further measures would be taken by Gov ernment agencies to keep badly needed mems clothing moving to the consumer.
 Garment trade leaders said the OPA decree giving manufacturers 30-day period of grace in which to continue shipments of higher priced suits without risking penal ties under the maximum average
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-05-03

which they would have had to ship at a loss to avoid conflicting with OPA and CPA regulations.
 Consequently, they said, the OPA decree, issued late yesterday, per- mitted shipment of these suits at the higher prices necessary to meet the cost of the materials.
 Representatives of the manufac- turers meanwhile prepared to leave or already were enroute to Wash ington to discuss ways and means of boosting productio nand distri- button of lower priced suits.

NOTES or A NEWSPAPRR1EAN'
 Inc ether edition Judge Win che1 dlssented with the opinion of a New York editorialist, who stated that P. D. R., Jr., could not become President of the D.. s. be- cause he was born north of the border.
 The current issue of a New Yorky Magazine confirms our opinion by pointing out that China born Henry Luce was assured by Constitutional lawyers he 'could be President the same as anybody else"
 ~WOman Bites Dog by the Spe- wacl<s Git closed recently was a potent parody on a newspaper tribe One of the publishers carl catured in it took credit for every- thing ever invented Someone mentioned the atomic bomb-and the pompous one sputtered: T of- Tered that bomb to the Navy years ago-btlt they wanted detailsl"
 That recalls the one about the Journalism graduate who applied for job at well known mid vest isolationist gazette.
 I'm ready to start at the bot tom, sir" said the chap.
 How do you mean2" asked the editor. "As copy boy?"
 No, sir" he answered, I thought on your paper I'd have to start writing editorials and work myself up to the sports page"
 Talking about the newspaper profession, there is this sad saga about famed front cover illustra- tor for renowned magazine.
 He signed one of those contracts to do a dozen front covers year .-one month .. The talented man soon found himself with nothing but time on his hands-and pa ,nt- ed the dozen portraits the very first month Having nothing else to do with his time (and barred by contract from doing pictures for others), he took to hooch and stayed drunk II months of the JEa1 4b h1lISu IltIU.
 YOu probably have forgotten the recent feud between the sponsors of the failure, '"Truckline Cafe" and the New York critics The producers took paid newspaper ad- verts to lambaSt the reveiwers for blackballing that flop .. The other day one of those aggrieved Showmen read laudatory notices on a film he directed. The picture is: "Deadline at Dawn"
 And, as yet, MT. Clurman hasn't disagreed with those critics.
 John Mason Brown, the critic, reports that when Shaw served as an aisle-Squatter at the London plays e was condemned by play CTS for being too personal in his cr1tiques. Shaw replied that an artist who accounts flor my per- Sonal disparagement by alleging personal animos!ty on my part is quite right. When people do less than their best, and do that less at once badly and self-complacently, I hate them, I loathe them. detest them, long to tear them from limb to limb and streW them in gob- bets about the stage"
 Shaw argued that the true critic IS the man who becomes your per- sonal enemy on the sole provoca- ton of bad performance-and can be appeased only by good one.
 ShowfolkS should paste that on their mirrors.
 Besides being a vegetarian, George Bernard Shaw is a hater of any sort of physical exertion Out side of occasional bicycling he de- bunked all athletics. Once, they say, SandOW, the Great Strong Man.
