Taylor Child Flown
Home; Writ.Sought
For Release Of Maid
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Mar. q
Tiny Terry Taylor came home by
plane today but she was too airsick
to be excited by the large crowd
gathered at Municipal Airport to
greet her.
The 4-year-old child, object of
three-day widespread search
after she and her nursemaid dis
appeared Tuesday, was found in
Annapolis, Md, Thursday night.
DR.. and Mrs. Andrew Taylor brought
the youngster home this afternoon.
Tells Different Story.
DR.. Andrews said Terry told a
different story of her trip than the
maid had told. There wasn't any
soldier involved" he said. Terry
and the maid rode on a bus"
The maid, booked at the Wash
ington Women's Police Bureau as
Loretta Brock, told police q
soldier she had met here had driven
her and Terry to Washington. She
had given her name as Rosemary
johnson when employed by the
Taylors. Detective Capt. Frank N.
Littlejohn of the Charlotte police
issued warrant last Tuesday
charging her with kidnapping.
In Washington today, Attorney
James j. Laughlin sought a writ
of habeas corpus for release of the
19-year- maid. In her petition
to the District Court he asked that
District and North Carolina police
show cause by Monday why the
writ should not be issued.
FBI May Take Over Case.
United States Attorney Edward
M. Curran told reporters that the
maid was in the custody of North
Carolina police en- route to that
State from Annapolis where she was
apprehended.
Police Chief Walter Anderson of
Charlotte said if the Washington
court releases the maid for return
here "the FBI will then determine
II it will take over the case" The
Charlotte FBI Office would make no
comment,

RFC Lawyer Relates
|LichfieId Bruta|ities
I'm Service Publication

The sworn statement of a 40
year-old Reconstruction Finance
Corp. attorney concerning brutali-
ties he says he witnessed while on
temporary duty at the Army's re-
placement depot in Lichfeld, Eng
land, is carried in the April 20
issue of the Army and Navy Bull
letin, published here for distribu-
ton among the armed services.
The Bulletin, a privately operated
publication, declares ii carries the
affidavit of the RFC lawyer, Wal
ter P. O'Rourke, Ito re-orient our
readers" and War Undersecretary
Kenneth c. Royal ''as to the funda-
mental reasons behind the outcry
raised by the public and press" con-
corning the recent Lichfield court
martial revelations.
Mr.. O'Rourke's affidavit relates
his being on duty as guard at the
prisoners hospital at Lichfield on
December 13. 1914, with orders ito
shoot to kill if necessary" any
prisoner who attempted to cross
the threshold of his post.
Cold Weather Treatment.
In the sworn statement, Mr..
ORourke relates "any number of
times" seeing so to IS men clad

in pants and shoes, lin the bitter
December cold" marched to a
shower room and forced to stand
at attention as groups OF five were
run through the showers.
Mr.. O,Rourke tells of seeing q
man backed into a corner while
three guards were beating him with
their fists and clubs" AS the man
fell to his knees, said Mr.. O'Rourke
one of the guards saw him
(O'Rourke) watching and shouted
Get the hell away from here un-
less you want the same thing"
The shoot to kill" order, Mr.
ORourke said, he received orally
from the sergeant of the guard
1t was contrary to orders posted on
the bulletin board, continued Mr.
O'Rourke's affldavit, but he said
he was advised the oral order came
from higher authority"
Editorially, the Army and Navy
Bulletin referred to a press con-
ference held by Undersecretary
Royal at which the paper quoted
Mr.. Royal as saying "the War De-
partment does not intend to inter-
vene in the Lichfleld courts martial
affair" because it was lust lot
of hollering by lawyers"
Former Enlisted Man.
The papers editorial continued /:
In the event Mr.. Royal is naive
enough to believe that the basic
issues of the Lichfield scandal go
no deeper than a lot of 'hollering
by lawyers the Army and Navy
Bulletin presents herewith a sworn
statement given voluntarily to this
publication, as we'll as to official
sources, by a man who served at
Lichfleld as both enlisted man and
officer"
Mr.. O'Rourke said he was in
capacitated after serving with the
Both Infantry Division, from its
landing at Omaha Beach" until
the division reached Metz. He was
then flown back to an Army hospi-
tai where, after treatment he was
assigned to temporary duty at Lich-
field pending his being commissioned
as a second lieutenant in the
Quartermaster Corps.
Inducted at Silver Spring, Md,
in March, 1914, at the age of 38,
Mr.. ORourke has three children,
aged 16, 13 and 10. When he re-
turned for duty in this country, he
related, he and his family were
evicted from their home at 802
Easley street, Silver Spring. He
was befriended at the time by Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, he said
His family later returned to Ala
bama, where they came from orig
inally and returned here when q
one-room apartment was found In
the Northwest section. All five
Of the ORourkes live In this small
space, said Mr.. O'Rourke, but he
fears now they are to be evicted
again soon.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 19.-Gov
O'Conor announced he had granted
pardons to eight veterans of World
War II who had been convicted OF
various offenses before the war.
He said the pardons were the first
granted under the new State sys-

on veterans pardons considered
the cases. All those pardoned were
honorably discharged from the
armed forces, several having re-
ceived citations for outstanding
acts of heroiSm,"

P0tential War Centers

Despite the fact that the Security
Council is in continuous session and a
peace council of tw%enty-one nations is
meeting in Paris to do something about
treaties for five of Germany's former
satellite nations, with a gathering of the
United Nations Assembly scheduled for
September %, the world apparently is
on a powder key with the fuse lighted.
There is little in the present situation
to indicate that any of the great powers
Will bring a foot down on the fuse and

Potential war centers exist in China,

ed the proportions of full-fledged con-
flict but all contain the chief elements
thereof and in one Great Britain is re-
ported ready to take the initiative with
out referring its case to the United Ma,
tons. London reports a foreign office
spokesman saying that Britain will act
independently to quell "any violent or
sudden" threat to her oil interests in
Iran.
This is in ~contravention of Britain's
repeated declaration that she would act
only through the United Nations. The
present position is explained by the fact
that while the Security Council is always
in session, the Council has no troops.
If the London government should
take the action this foreign office
spokesman says she may, the ability of
the United Nations to re-establish peace
in the world, and maintain it, would
be disproved and UN would be on its
way out, just as surely as the League
of Nations collapsed when it proved It.

One At A Time

Once, not quite in the dim dead days
of long ago, but remotely enough to
have been forgotten in some quarters,
there was a gentleman's agreement or
it's equivalent, that only one bus in the
public Transportation system should
be on any block at a time. 1t was SO
decided in the interest of general motor
traffic, and for a time after the rule
was instituted it was carefully observed
by bus drivers.
Now the rule appears to be chiefly
conspicuous by non = observance. Ere
quently not only two but three buses
will be in line-one stopped to unload
and take on passengers, and the other
two awaiting their turn to perform the
same service. The consequence is that
private motor traffic is often blockaded.
Maybe the agreement has expired
and so the buses are within their rights.
On the other hand it is possible that
because of the troubled times we have
been living in for several years it has
been forgotten. Whatever the e~xplana-
ton, it is earnestly recommended that
it be reinstated and observed by all
bus drivers.
There will be fewer traffic blocks
when this is done.
