20 SOLDIERS DIE
IN TWO CRASHES]
17 Aboard Army Transport
Lose Lives as Plane Hits Mountain.
- PERU, Mass, Aug. 17 (U. P.).— Berge. Robert Lee of Columbus, O.,
became a hero when the army
transport in which he was flying crashed in fog against Peru moun-
tain Saturday night; exploded and
burned, killing 17 of the 20 men
_gboard.
The army said today that he was critically - burned, but he climbed
out of the wreckage and dragged|
two of his buddies, Pvts, Alonzo L.
Pearson and James Fern of Abingdon, Va., both" critically burned, away from the fire. : . Lee dragged two other passengers out, but they were dead. He fired his revolver three times then walked three miles to the nearest highway
“and led state police back to the
scene, Crash in Dense Forest
The crash, which occurred be-{
tween 9 and 10 p. m. Saturday, was in a forest so dense that soldiers,
-givilian defense workers, police and
physicians : had to hack a trail
. through the underbrush to bring
out the wounded and the bodies. The plane, on a routine mission from Pope Field, Ft. Bragg, N. C.,
had left Mitchell Field, N. Y., early
Sunday night. } ‘Mrs. Margaret Bishop, an airplane spotter in Peru, was one of
‘the first to notify army headquar- * ters in Boston of the crash. She
lives about three miles from the mountain.
LORAINE, Tex. Aug. 17 (U. P.). four-motored, B-2¢ army bomber crashed and burned in a ‘field nine miles north of Loraine yesterday, killing three members of the crew.

By TOM WOLF Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Poke an inquisitive finger into the cash tills of Manhattan's night ‘spots at this time of year and you would ordinarily discover the East's greatest wide open spaces. But not in this wartime summer of service furloughs and rationed vacations. The pockets of impresarios, big and small, in this entertainment capital are so full that jingle, jangle, jingles that one cynic has summed up the night clubber’s attitude as: Eat, drihk and be merry for tomorrow we—eat, drink and be merry. The change you'd notice, most immediately in New York’s night spots this year is, of course, the abundance of uniforms. (Time was when hat check girls didn’t bother to. give checks for service hats, so few were the customers in uniform.)
Shows “Play Down” War
‘All the clubs are veering away from what showmen call “patriotic hoke.” Some revues, like the Hotel New Yorker's, retain a war theme, but more typical is Leon and- Eddie’s show, which shuns the war save for a patriotic finale. Billy Rose, whose profits from his
his skill at public-pulse taking, has gone the whole hog. His new show, “Mrs. Astor's Pet Horse,” studiously avoids any reference to the war, for the shrewd Mr. Rose feels that people are now spending their prioritied dollars for escape, pure and simple. Comedy is the keynote-of-the-moment all over town—even to the spots whose main attraction has been primarily musical. Barnéy Josephson’s Cafe Societies (uptown and down), for exaniple, have been packing customers in with comic Zero Mostel, still the undisputed find of this first wartime season; and with a new bright spot on the night club horizon, Carol Channing, who . mimics the musical comedy's female great.
- Music Is Undistinguished Oddly enough, there has been a
gaiety. The winter-born fad of card playing in the swankier spots remains both a big attraction and a quieting influence: Jim Moriarty, who claims to have brought gin rummy east, continues to reap his reward as the customers pack his handsome Barberry Room for dinner and cards. So popular has gin rummy and its variations become with the pesensisl club goers that several

set aside whole rooms for:card and (backgammon) players. The clubs supply cards and score pads. Musically, the summer has been undistinguished. = Most - spots find old, sentimental songs favorites, especially : old war songs, sinc¢e the present war has yet to produce an “Over There.” The chief direct parallel to. the first world war is the boom in tea dancing, which reached the height of its popularity during: the late ‘teens. The Stork club, for -example, has added a summer teadansant session. "The young-man-about-town has gone with the draft and most of the swankier clubs- are seeing lots of new faces for the first time .in years. +
Lucky Meeting For These Two
‘CHICAGO, Aug. 17 (U. P).— Last June 27 Bill Bender, Chicago Sun news photographer, asked Miss Ethel Holz AK if she would mind kissing James F. Snyder, a sailor, while riding on a ferris wheel. Miss Holz objected on the grounds that she didn’t know Snyder. Bender introduced the two, bought them tickets and thanked them for the picture. Today ‘Miss Holz telephoned Bender to thank him for ‘the introduction. She and Snyder plan to marry.
