Held in Attack Case
BY The As.osioted Prsss

MOUNT HOLLY. N. j., Jan. n.
"A 23-year-old winner Of the Con-
gressional Medal Of Honor was held
without bail today, charged with
raping q 15-year-old girl in nearby
BordentoWn.
The soldier, MiSergt. James r..
Hendrix of Lepanto. Ark, was. ar
rested yesterday at Fort Dix, where

June. He was arraigned before JUS
tice. Of the Peace John G. Haines,
pleaded not guilty and was re-
manded to county Jail to await .
grand jury investigation.
Detective Chief Clifford D. Cain
Of Burlington County told the
justice of the peace that the girls
parents charged the attack took
place while Sergt. Hendrix, who
said he Is married, and the girl
were riding in an automobile near
the Army camp several weeks ago.
Sergt. Hendrix received the Ma
tion's highest military decoration
in August, 1945, from President

a machine gun and saved the lives
of three comrades.
At the time Sergt. Hendrix came
to Washington to receive the Medal
Of Honor from the President, he
was asked to leave the willard
Hotel dining room because his
father was in shirt sleeves. The
hotel incident was Just one Of his
troubles. His younger sister, Pear
ley Mae Hendrix, 13, ran away from
home because she was not allowed
to 60 to Washington to see the
presentation. She wound up In De-
troit. ~ t ~,
Sergt. Hendrix was discharged

(Va.) separation center in October,
1945, and later re-enlisted.

Marshall Confradicts
Dulles, Denies AMG
Impedes Aid Plan

Secretary of State Marshall said
today that the Army Department
has been entirely cooperative in
development of the European Re-
covery Program and that military
government officials in Germany
have done nothing to hamper the
work.
His comment at news confer
ence followed charges before the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee yesterday by John Foster Dulles,
Republican international affairs
expert, that American military off,
cials in Germany had failed to CO.
operate in development of the re-
covery program.
Secretary of the Army Royal
commented in a statement that Mr..
Dulles was pitifully uninformed."
1.-The truth is that the Depart
ment of the Army and its European
commander .are unqualifiedly sup
porting the European recovery plan
and are cooperating fully with the
State Department in connection
Herewith" Mr.. Royal said.
Fails to See Any Hindrance.
Gen. Marshall said he did not
know of anything that the military
government organization in Ger
many has done that could be said
to hamper the program In any de-
gree.
He said the Army Department
here has co-operated through rep
resentatiyes on steering commit
tee and numerous subcommittee
which have developed details of the
plan for promoting economic recov-
cry in Europe.
Gen. Marshall also declared that
he saw no real justification for any
feeling by countries in Latin Amers
lea or other parts of the world that
the United States had lost interest
in them because of its efforts to
help rehalibitate Western Europe.
Refuses Comment on Baruch Plan.
Gen. Marshall refused any COM
ment for the time being on recon-
rnendations concerning administra-
ton of the EuropeR program put
forward by Bernard Bar,lch in tes-
timony before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee Monday. He
said Mr. Baruch's recommendations
were being studied In the depart
ment and he had not seen the re-
suits as yet
Today marked the first anniver-
sary of Gen. Marshall's assumption
of the Office of Secretary of State.
He said he had been reminded of
this just before his news conference.
He refused any comment on the
anniversary except to say that he
felt like it had been a year and a
half rather tnan just one year, since
he took over direction of American
foreign policy.

Montgomery AIIots
$500 for Lights al
Railroad CROSSING

In move to safeguard pedestrian
and vehicular traffic at the Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad crossing on
Frederick avenue just north Of
Rockville, the Montgomery County
Commissioners yesterday decided to
appropriate a maximum of $2,500
for installation of warning lights.
Total cost Of the project was
estimated by the board at approxi-
mately $500, with the railroad ex-
pected to provide the remaining
funds. The crossing is near Lin
coin High School and Is used by
school buses.
According to F. Barnard Welsh,
attorney to the commissioners, two
people have been killed at the cross
ing within the last five years. He
added it has been the scene Of hun
dreds of near-accidents.
Board President Brooke Johns
said the railroad also has promised
to cut down the banks for distance
of 500 feet on each side Of the cross
ing so as to provide clear view
for those approaching it.
Johns Urges Law.
In discussing the need for lights
at the crossing, Mr.. Johns advocated
legislation requiring railroads to
abolish all crossings in the States.
After a brief argument, the COM
missioners authorized the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commission
to issue 5000 900 worth of bonds
for water and sewer lines in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Counties.
Under law the comMissionersfof both
counties must guarantees payment
of the bonds H'1r7 teare anafn aer
The action was taken In response
to a request by ]. Darby Bowman,
secretary-treasurer Of the commits
sion, who estimated the agency's
total indebtedness A at about $780,
100000. .--
!. It was. this estimate that pre-
.cipitated the argument. County
Supervisor. Irving G. McNayr said
the commission should levy q tax
sufficient to pay for at least part
Of its capital improvements, instead
of continuing to "pile up its bonded
indebtedness"
Indebtedness Put at 10 Pct.
'"Our chances of selling our school
bonds won't be SO good,' he asserted,
in view of your huge bonded in
debtedness for which we, as well as
the Prince Georges commissioners,
are responsible. You ought to get
on a pay-as-you-go basis and not
let your Indebtedness SNOWFALL"
Mr.. Bowman pointed out the
commissions bonded indebtedness
has remained at about 10 per cent
Of the assessed valuation Of the
sanitary district In both counties,
despite the continued issuance Of
bonds.
He also was granted authority to

The big ship was a mass of flames

Mr.. Coonley said there wasn't

He continued:
"The passengers weren't paying
any attention to the weather, but
the pilot was sweating 'out zero

hit the runway. That's how 1t
happened. There was too much ice
on the runway and not enough good

"All the pilot could do was try to
avoid bad crash.
Pilot Cut Engines.
"I saw Capt. Thayer cut all his
engines. Then there was a flash.
Within a matter of seconds the
whole plane was an fire.
I'VE opened the rear door but the
plane was hung at crazy angle
with its bow in the snowbank and
its tail about 20 feet above the ice.

Immediately after the impact of

Capt. Thayer said he went back
