Held Without Bond

mitted rape yesterday was held
without bond by United States
Commissioner Cyril s. Lawrence

cided to turn the youth over to

day and freely admitted raping a
17-year- old girl, attempting to
rape two other persons, and rob-
bing one victim of $45.
Juvenile Court officials studied
the case for three days before
deciding to turn the colored youth
over to the Jurisdiction Of the
higher court. If convicted in that
court. he faces a possible death
sentence. Under District law,
Juvenile Court could have re-
tanned custody.
Although Commissioner Law
renee held the youth. Lee Verne

rape charge, the Commissioner set
$40,0 bond on the two charges
of attempted rape and robbery.

missioner Lawrence until Thurs

may be held if the youth de-
mands it.

STILL HAVE HOPES

WASHINGTON, Dec. = R = Delegates to Congress from Alaska and Hawaii said Saturday they are more than ever convinced that the Senate would pass the two pending statehood bills if they were permit ted to come to vote.
 Delegate Harrington (R-Hawaii) estimated that less than 20 Senators are involved in "filibuster tactics blocking Senate vote on the mo- ton to consider the Alaska state hood bill on it's merits.
 He blamed One Republican - Senator Butler (Neb) and the Dixiecrats."
 Delegate Bartlett D-Alaska) said the chance of passing the bills at the current session does not look good.
 But" he said, it seems to me that the Senate debate this week makes it clear that the opposition is numerically much smaller than the advocates of statehood ever an- ticipated. If the bill comes to vote it will be passed by bigger ma jority than we expected"
 Harrington said he is asking Sen- ators favoring statehood to make speeches in the Senate ito demon- strate the overwhelming support existing for the two statehood bills"

MASS RETREAT
 CLOGS ROADS,
 KOREAN SECTOR
By DON WHITEHEAD

WITH THE US. 9TH ARMY IN KOREA, Dec. 4-R-The great All lied retreat is one week old to- night and the roads south from Pyongyang are clogged with the mass movement of defeated army
 Down the dusty brown roads are pouring streams of men, trucks guns and heavy equipment. They are moving back to escape the Chi nese Red troops who follow them slowly but relentlessly.
 It was seven days ago tonight that the Chinese smashed into the United Nations forces with their third straight night attack. They came out of the hills and valleys in masses. They overwhelmed LIN frontline defenses by sheer weight of manpower.
 It was this third attack which turned the tide of battle decisively and swept the Eighth Army back from the big offensive intended to end the war"
 But the Reds failed to achieve a complete victory. They failed be- cause the Eighth Army pulled back on wheels faster than the Chinese could advance on foot.
 This mobility was the one thing that saved most of the Eighth Army from encirclement and destruction north of the Chongchon river. This ability to move quickly has saved the Eighth Army more than once in this campaign.
 Where the LIN. defense line will be drawn in this retreat is not yet clear. Right now the army is in a position only to fight rearguard action against the Red tide creep ing southward.

TOKYO, Dec. 4-tRLThe Chi nese Communists have captured Put litzer Prize winner Frank Noel the laughing man with the PFC Private First Class) stripe pasted on his battered Speed Graphic.
 They captured Frank because his heart was too big.
 The ace Associated Press photog- rapher and I were to have flown back to Tokyo together for a rest The night before, Frank said:
 "Old Pappy is going to stay here I feel better up with the kids at the front"
 Frank did not say so, but he knew the kids up front felt better when he was around.
 It happened Friday night near Koto, which is six miles south of the Changjin Reservoir in northeast Korea. Marine Capt. Michael Cap raro, a public information officer saw Noel captured.
 A convoy was trying to break through to cutoff American Ma rine Regiment. The convoy, carry ing supplies and endorsements, was ambushed several miles south of Koto.
 Capraro was with Noel when the column was attacked. Later Capraro told newsmen he saw Noel dragged away by Chinese Reds.
 Noel, 45-year-old veteran Of many Korean campaigns, volunteered to take a jeep down the road after 1t became apparent that the Reds were coming at the convoy from all sides. He was going after assistance.
 That's when the Reds got him.
 Frank had seen many wars - the big ones and the nasty little ones. Somewhere along the line, maybe in Burma or Germany or Palestine or Greece, Frank forgot how to be afraid.
