They saw - for the first time
since their convictions at the end
of the war-Tokyo's colorful streets
and q professional ballgame.
They saw, too, families and
friends who crowded near their
section Of the stands at Korakuen
Stadium.
Officially they were not permit
ted to talk to or have any contact
with relatives. But their guards
frequently were very busy watch

Whales, 81.
At one Of those times q girl, 7
or . years old and clad in a red
dress, accented by q pink hair
ribbon, slid past guards and threw
her arms around her father.
He hungrily returned her en-

The guards turned away as a

been forbidden. Newsmen were not
allowed to approach the prisoners.
The outing was arranged by the

Women Want To Be Active
Outside The Home Today
BY BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD U -- 81 think In
these times q woman likes to feel
useful. She doesn't want merely TO
have everything handed to her by
her husband. If her children are
in school and she can afford to
hire help, it's natural that she
wants to get out and do things
on her own"
This was the explanation Mrs.
Edgar Bergen gave for doing her
first film role. Under her profes-
sional name, Frances Westcott, she
is portraying Mrs. John Jacob
Astor in the film about the Titanic
disaster.
But Mrs. Bergen admitted there
was another reason. She's tired Of
living under the shadow of that
wooden-head Charlie Mccarthy.
To her, it's no laughing matter.
I'm not knocking Charlie, be-
cause goodness knows he has
helped support the Bergen family
in fine style" she said. "But l am
little tired Of being referred to
as Charlie McCarthy'S mother. /
want an identity of my own"
Mrs. Bergen explained the OK.
tent of her Illustration. Recently
she joined an entertainment troupe
which toured Army camps. She
appeared as Frances Westcott, and
no mention was made Of her re-
lationship to Messrs. Mccarthy
and Snerd.
"But invariably one or more
soldiers would come backstage and
say something like How does it
feel TO be Charlie McCarthy's
mother?'" she sighed.
She recalled with relish her one
triumph over the fame of her huS-
band and his dummies. That was
when they were in Birmingham,
Ala.
"As we stepped off the plane, q
reporter from the Birmingham
News came UP 10 me and started
interviewing me-" she related.
Edgar couldn't imagine what was
happening until the reporter ex-
planned that was q Birmingham
girl and he was more interested IN
me than Edgar"
| asked about home life with Nc
Carthy, and Mrs. Bergen explained
that Charlie no longer resides with
them. He now remains IN his suit
case in Bergen's office between
performances. The office Is handler
to the radio studios. Besides. Char
lie had to leave the house to make
room for the Bergens' daughter
Candy.
Previously. Mccarthy ruled his
own room in the Bergen manse.
He had furniture made to his size
and stored his fabulous wardrobe
in capacious closets. "n | had as
many outfits as Charlie. I'd be the
beSt.dreSsed woman in the world"
observed Mrs. Bergen.
Even though Charlie no longer
lives with them. his presence is
strongly felt by the Bergens Ber-
gen himself always talks Of Char
lie as though he were real per
son. The Illusion is also felt By bis
wife.
"of course L don't think Of him
IS real. as many Of his fans dc"
she remarked. But it's a strange
perform with Charlie hundreds Of
times in all parts Of the country. l
still watch Charlie when be is talk
ing. II Just seems natural that the
voice is coming from the dummy"
Oddly enough, the only Bergen
who isn't taken in at al by the
veniriloquism is s-year-cld Candy.
Il guess IT'S because skc has
been around Charlie sll her life.

Workers at seven pits-six of

and company officials refused

Four operations were closed by

peared at Vesta Mines 4 and 5

Committee 10 Clarity
Home Nursing Role
OF Two Agencies Here

A committee set up yesterday
by the District Health Department
and the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society will seek to clarity their
respective roles in home nursing
of the INDECENT sick.
Another outgrowth of a meet
ing of representatives of the two
groups was the appointment of q
two-man committee to draw up
a contract under which the nurse
society will be paid from public
funds for its service to patients
on public assistance.
In July, following appropriation
or $4,000 in the Health Depart
ment budget to start paying the
Community Chest-supported nurse
society for nursing public patients
the department suddenly cut
down its calls on the society.
Question Follow-up Care.
The society became concerned
whether maternity cases released
from Gallinger Hospital in parti-
cular were receiving enough fol-
loW-up care. The Health Depart
ment insisted they were.
But society officials questioned
whether the Health Department
could take on the additional work
OF nursing cases previously at
tended by the society, in view of
its complaints of severe budget
cuts.
They say also that there has
been considerable confusion since
July, with a society nurse visiting
a case to find a Health Depart
ment nurse also has been there,
and vice versa.
1--WE just want to see that all
the sick in the city are cared for"
said Mrs. Neville Miller, acting
president of the society. 1--WE
don't think the Health Depart
ment can do it,"
indicates Study Is Tardy.
Mrs. Miller made the point that
the study now to be made should
have come before. not after, the
Health Department began taking
over the work.
The committee includes Miss
Clarissa Gibson, director of the
Society. and Mrs. Josephine Pres
colt, director of the Health De-
partment nursing bureau.
Designated to draw up the con-
tract under which the society will
be paid are Murray Preston, men,
Der Of the society board, and
Henry Gavens, budget and admin
istrative officer for the Health
Department.
The nurse Society has submitted
invoices for work performed dur
ing July in the amount OF
$3,30O.75.
