Squeaky, the tame South Amer
lean coatimundi, that got out of its
backyard at 1888 Legation street
NV. yesterday long enough to nip
a little girl and get himself locked
up by the police, is back home today
with his master, 19-year- old Navy
veteran.
The animal spent the night in
the City Pound, but all was forgiven
today when Clifton R. Williamson,
brother of the owner, former sailor,
Francis L. Williamson, went to the
pound to emancipate Squeaky.
The former sailor bought his pet
in Texas from an animal dealer for
$40 few months ago because he
has always been interested in ami
mails. He saw a coatimundi in
South America when he visited there
aboard the carrier Franklin D.
Roosevelt and made up his mind
to acquire one.
Squeaky slipped out of the rope
which kept him in the Williamson
first unit of a new group of mixing
and sedimentation basins.
In asking S1,048,00O in operating
expenses for the aqeduct officials
pointed out that an increase OF
SHAFTS over current appropria-
tions was needed because of higher
for employees and an ever
water demand. The daily
consumption of 154,680,000 gallons
during 1946 is nearly double that
of IS years ago, it was said.
The estimated maximum water
demand In 1948 vial exceed the sys-
TENS present nominal capacity of
180, ,000,0 gallons day, according.
to department figures.
Another s2,115,0oo in capital out
lay was asked for the city water
system exclusive of the aqueduct
Most important among projects un-
der this category was 100000
sought to begin the first phase of
modernizing the Bryant street
pumping station, which together
with the Dalecarlia pumping sta

backyard sometime yesterday after
noon and went visiting. Not long
afterward, Betty Ann Littleton. and
Sue Behrent Goldstein, both g.,
found Squeaky at the front door of
sBetty's home at 1923 Military road
NV.
The children ran after it and
caught it. Sues sister Joan, who
is 6, came running from her house
at 1914 across the street and joined
them. The animal had a harness
on 1t, but no leash. 1t got away
again and ran to the Littleton S
back porch, where it found a melon
left out to ripen. 1t ate a hole
in the melon.
The children romped and
screamed, chasing it about the leafy
lawns. Sue tried to pick it up
and 1t bit her, scratching her arm
with its teeth.
With that Mrs Warren called the
police, and the children, frightened,
ran upstairs. The police came and
took 1t away.

Eisenhower Admits
Inconsistencies in
Sylvester Demotion

Acknowledging that amazing "in-
consistencies" were involved. Gen
Eisenhower, Army Chief of Staff
completed his testimony yesterday
before military court of inquiry
investigating the demotion of Col
Lindsay Med. Sylvester of Wash
ington.
Gen. Eisenhower, just returned
from his mothers funeral, testified
for more than two hours yesterday
at a closed session of the court in
an inquiry that has involved some
of the biggest names in the Allied
high command
Col. Sylvester, who lives at 1904
Thirty seventh street NV, was
denoted from his temporary war
rank of major general in the 7th
Armored Division to his regular
rank of colonel when his division
was halted before Metz after it
had taken part in Gen. George S
Pattons victorious drive across
France
bfaQiev JlNcn hutnOTuy.
Gen. Eisenhower testified he had
advised Gen. Omar Bradley, then
in command of ground forces in the
European sector, to follow his own
judgment" in relieving Col. Sill
vester of his command after the
Allied commander had heard re-
peated complaints against Col. Sill
vester's leadership of his division
Gen. Eisenhower testified, ac-
cording to Attorney Samuel T. An
sell, counsel for Col Sylvester, that
the complaints against Col. Sill
vester had come from Gen. Patton
Gen. Bradley and 1t. Gen. Walton
H. Walker, who was Col. Silvester's
corps commander.
AS result, Gen. Bradley relieved
| Col. Sylvester of his command in
October, 1914, and he was denoted
and returned to this country.
Congratulations Cited.
Gen. Eisenhower testified that he
learned congratulatory messages
had been issued, commencing Col
Sylvester on his divisions fighting
which were directly inconsistent
with the ora complaints on Col
Silvester's leadership.
Il would have been puzzled by
the inconsistencies and would have
called on Gen. Patton and Gen
Walker for an explanation and
would have paused in relieving Col
Sylvester of his command If I had
known of the messages beforehand,
Gen. Eisenhower was quoted as
having said.
1t also was pointed out that a
congratulatory message had been
sent by Gen. Walker to the 7th
Armored Division shortly before
Col. Sylvester was relieved, but that
the message had not been addressed
to Col Sylvester as commanding Of
flcer of the outfit.
Would Have Investigated.
Declaring this to be another "in-
consistency" Gen. Eisenhower wa:
quoted as saying he would have in.
vestigated the instance to see If the
commanding officer had been inten.
tionally excluded but said he die
not know of the incident.
Still another inconsistency wa!
brought out when it was shown tina,
Gen. Walker, in routine report
had complimented Col. Sylvester or
the leadership of his division two
months before he was relieved.
Shortly before he was relieved
Col. Sylvester was transferred tt
the British forces in Holland aht
Gen. Eisenhower testified yesterda.
that Field Marshal Viscount Mont
gomery of the British forces ais,
had told him that Col Silver wa
not up to commanding" an armoree
division.
| Gen. Eisenhower said he Learned
later that Col Silvester's British
corps commander had commended

Haven't you always thought OF
kite flying as juvenile ~ just a
boys game? We did until recent
ly. Last summer at Ocean City
we noted the number of men on
the beach who occupied themselves
with kite flying, and vacationing
friends everywhere, when ques-
toned on the subject, report it
becoming more and more popular
as an amusement. Which caused
us to look into the subject.
Perhaps this kite-lying is an
omen of more leisure-perhaps an
indication that Americans are
dropping their wartime worries,
The Chinese discovered several
thousand years ago this manner Of
unburdening their troubles they
just loaded them on a kite to be
unloaded on the clouds. Even to-
day on the 9th day Of the 9th
month Of every year they observe
"Kite Day"Athe day when the
Chinese rush to a hill Side and
pass their problems to the Gods
Don't you think it would be a
good thing for US if we could
tske a day occasionally and unload
our cares via a kite?
OF course you all know thai
last week we were on vacation
Where did we go? Right out in
our own grassy back yard. We cut
homework and cooking to a mini
mum-just stayed home and en-
joyed it. We do seem to find il
hard to pick up loose ends ant
get back to work. Here are few
bits from our accumulated mai
that may interest you.

who does not sign his name add

The filler reads: "There is nothing

added some verses Of his own:
To God we turn in lives of prayer
And trust that He will always say,
That peace is ours for to share,
With all we, meet the coming day.
For lives sublime we hardly ask
in days that come for. us to live.
FOR courage though to face the

10 us we ask our God to give.
