Bonner Wins Renewal
OF Detective License
Despite Police Stand

The District License Board has
decided the private detectives Ii
cense of Perry Bonner should be
renewed despite an adverse ruling
by the Police Department.
The ruling followed the close
yesterday afternoon of hearing
on Mr.. Bonner's appeal from dis
approval of his license for this
year.
Mr.. Bonner. who has been a
private detective here since 1910,
was defended at the hearing by
his son, Attorney John T. Bonner.
The attorney told the board he
felt the license was denied "for
no reason other than the personal
feelings" of 1t. Harry C. Black
man, former head of the police
Special Investigat tions Unit.
Mutual Hate Claimed.
The detective. in his own testi-
mony, declared that 1t. Black
man hates me, and I hate him."
| Perry Bonner told the board the
police officials animosity dated
from the time. about 20 years ago,
when 1t. Blackman hired him on
a personal matter. The detective
said he had to drop the case, after
1t. Blackman failed to cooperate
with him under difficult circum-
stances.
Earlier in the hearing, 1t.
Blackman denied he had any per-
sonal antagonism against Mr..
Bonner.
The detective contested the
testimony of Mrs. Betty Ann Stew
art, who charged he threatened
her by telephone, after working
on Johnston Fraser Stewards di-
vorce case against her.
Denies Not Earning Fee.
He also denied he had not
earned a $40 fee paid him by
Mrs. Fanny Munitz, SGT Quincy
street NV, to obtain evidence for
her for a divorce. He said Mrs.
Munitz failed to inform him of
circumstances which, had he
known them at the outset, would
have kept him from taking the
case.
Attorney Bonner charged the
police did not investigate the
complaints against the detective
and declared the withholding of
approval of the license probably
the most arbitrary action I have
ever heard of being taken"
Regarding a 1924 conviction of
taking property without right,
noted in the police file on Mr.
Bonner, the attorney declared
that check of the court records
would show the conviction subse-
quently was set aside.

Outside those circles obedient
to Moscow, the feeling among
both press and public was that,
despite heavy odds, the American
GIs would pull out of the hole.
There were, however, some
doubts and criticisms.
In Norway and Finland, both
neighbors of Russia, the man in
the street wondered out loud
whether the needed reinforce
ments of men and materiel would
be too little and too late. Some
Firms found the state of Amer
lean preparedness in the Pacific
a chilling eye-opener. They were
impressed with the apparent mill

Heavy Odds UNDERSIGNED.
Everywhere, in conversation
and in the press, the fact most
underscored was the enormity of

Government Reported
Departing From Toeion

TOKYO, July IA P.-Reliable
reports today said the South Ko-

from Taejon in the wake of North
Korean crossing of the Kun River
west of Kongju.
South Korean police immedi-
ately ordered an alert and mid

Left Erickson at the front said
that if the invaders strengthened
their beachhead at night "they

Kongju is about 20 miles north
west of Taejon on the Western

enemy's action could mean an
attempt to outf1ank American

Discharges and designations
Of District Guurdsmen Halted

with performance of military duty,
or if they move from the city.
Gen. Abendroth's order bars
such discharges. Men will be
permitted to quit the Guard only
in very unusual circumstances, or
to allow them to enter the regular
services.
The Army already has asked for
the discharge of certain Guard
technicianS who are badly needed
in the field and have volunteered
for active duty.
Gen. Abendroth said that his
stop-order would permit his Or
ganization to build up to full
strength 2,925 men, including
Army and Air personnel.
Present strength of the District
Guard is 2,447, leaving 478 vacan-
cies. Because the Selective Serv-
ice Act does not exempt Guards
men, most of the new recruits will
have to be men over 25 years of
age or those who served more than
80 days in the last war.
