Final Round
H anna ko s Counter Suit Is Thrown Out
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., June 15 (U. P.).—Attorneys for Jack and Hannah Williams Dempsey today began preparing final briefs which they must file in supreme court by June 25 in the divorce and separation suits of the couple. The deadline was set by Referee "J. Addison Young yesterday when the trial ended with the dismissal of the former Broadway singer's suit for divorce and Dempsey’'s denial of his wife’s charges of cruelty. Counsel for both sides ‘agreed to permit Young to waive a rule requiring a decision within 60 days when the referee indicated that “with summer coming on” he might not reach a decision until fall,
Suit Dismissed
Mrs. Dempsey's divorce suit was dismissed when her lawyer said that Yvette Colbert, French enter_tainer, could not be located to testify and that consequently his client’s case could not be proved. Mrs. Dempsey’s lawyers then concentrated on her separation suit, charging the former heavyweight ‘ champion with cruel and inhuman treatment.
Dempsey, who had. accused his|
wife of misconduct with Lew Jenkins, former lightweight champion, and Benny Woodall, Dallas, Tex., fight promoter, in his divorce action, denied the charges in the separation suit. : Both seek custody of their two daughters.
' Denies Manhandling
Dempsey testified yesterday that he had never manhandled his wife, ‘but admitted he had thrown out “three drunken guests” she was entertaining in their apartment. “Is it true you ever gave Mrs. Dempsey a black eye?” Driscoll asked. “No, it is not.” Dempsey also denied that he had kicked Mrs. Dorothy Williams Gomez, Mrs. Dempsey’s sister, while throwing their three male guests out of the Dempsey apartment. Mrs. Dempsey had testified that he kicked Mrs. Gomez into the hallway. Dempsey said she spent the night in the apartment after the men had been ejected. * He denied that he had ever lounged around the apartmentnude or semi-nude, as: Mrs. Dempsey had testified. “I always had on a robe and my pants,” he said. He admitted he had objected to paying for long distance telephone calls Mrs. Dempsey: made to her _ sister, and the calls Mrs. Gomez made, collect, to Mrs. Dempsey.

Urge 'Mission'
Ban in Boston
- BOSTON, June 15 CU. P.)~-The Boston city council has adopted two
‘|resolutions asking Mayor Maurice
J. Tobin to ban the motion picture “Mission to Moscow” on the grounds it is “out-right communistic propaganda . . . of distorted truth with an ulterior motive of glorifying. a dictatorship government.” Councilor Matthew F, Hanley termed Josef Stalin “the greatest murderer the world has ever seen and the greatest ambassador from the pits of hell whose name has ever been written into the dirty pages of history.” He said Hollywood producers were trying to “glamorize a murderer— a man who denounced democracy— a red-handed murderer who grinned while 3,000,000 people were dying in the Ukraine for lack of bread.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 15 (U.
n|P)~—The executive committee of
the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra today announced the resignation of Karl Krueger, for.the last
organization. Krueger's letter of resignation referred to an unrealized hope. for a tri-city, orchestra serving Kansas City, Wichita, Kas., and Tulsa. He
said “his hope for attaining such a
set-up was the only reason he had remained here this year. Mrs. B. C. Christopher, chairman of the board of trustees, said the board was opposed because the members felt that such expansion should not be un-
dertaken during the war.

ADVANCED SOUTH PACIFIC BASE, June 14 (U. P.)—(Delayed). —A Japanese zero pilot, using the propeller of his plane, tried to cut to pieces a parachuting American flier but succeeded .only in mangling his feet, it was revealed today. The incident occurred: over the Russell islands June 7. The American flier was Lt. Samuel S. Logan, 28, of Paola, Kas., a marine pilot. A spokesman described the enemy pilot’s attack as the most brutal example of Japanese tactics thus far reported. Logan, whose Corsair was among U. 8S. planes which intercepted about 40 Japanese fighters, had to parachute from 20,000 feet when his craft was damaged. Four times the zero made passes at him trying to kill him with guns gud the whirling propeller. The t two times, Logan jerked up his feet and the propeller missed. On the third, Logan was busy maneuvering his ‘chute and the propeller cut off most of his right foot and part of the heel of his
left.
Jap Propeller Cuts Feet Of Parachuting U. S. Pilot
On the fourth attack, a fellowflier came to Logan’s aid and chased off the zero. Logan landed safely, inflated a life raft, took sulfa and
morphine tablets and put a tourniquet on his right leg. He was sighted by a reconnaissance plane as he signaled with a small metal mirror and was picked up and taken to a base hospital. Surgeons amputated his right leg above the ankle. He is recovering. Another marine Corsair pilot, Lt. James G. Percy, 21, of San Francisco, Cal, survived a fall of 2000 feet in the same air fight, it also was revealed. . Percy shot down a zero and damaged another before his plane was disabled and he bailed out. His parachute failed to open. “I hit the water feet first and felt something break,” Percy said. “It was a gosh-awful feeling. I had the Mae West inflated and that kept me floating.” Percy swam for three hours, reaching a beach where he lay half conscious through one afternoon and night before natives found him and summoned aid. Physicians said Percy fractured his pelvis and suffered several bruises.
NYA IN ANNUAL] FIGHT TO LIVE|
House ‘Committee Cuts Off Funds; Told War Plants Doubt Value. °
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, June 15.—The national youth administration today launched its annual drive to
| keep from being liquidated.
The house appropriations committee dropped NYA's 1944 appropriation from the war manpower commission bill, now up for debate. Rep. Albert J. Fngel (R. Mich.), moved for NYA'’s elimination and won a 16-15 vote in the full committee. He had been defeated, 5 to 2, when he made a similar proposal in the subcommittee, The energetic Mr. Engel told his committee colleagues: “I have talked with the superintendents - of 47 plants—Ford, General Motors, Chrysler—and I have not heard anybody crying for the NYA training. They say that NYA can screen out and find people to send to them who are adaptable, but insofar as the training is concerned they have had to do their own training.”
Williams Testifies
He agreed to give them $3,000,000 with which to fold up. NYA Director Aubrey Williams told the subcommittee he proposed to train more than 600,000 persons for war industries in 1944. Since “youth” is now in such demand, he wanted restrictions lifted to let him take older men and women— married or single. So Mr. Engel suggested that NYA, which no longer would put its “accent on youth,” change its alphabetical designation to NOP & 1. This he interpreted as' “national old pecple and infants.” But Mr. Williams maintained that war industries could get two good years of work out of boys from 16 to 18. NYA training for the 18-t0-24 group has been inter-

Out back Dinehart has six turkeys fattening up for Thanksgiving, plus 100 more chickens for frying purposes, plus one elegant argument brewing with his wife. Mrs. Dinehart, known to stage audiences as Mozelle Brittone, has watched the chickens, the rabbits and the turkeys take over the place. She has stood by uncomplaining while her husband planted the front terraces to turnips, the petunia beds to potatoes, and the rose garden to rutabaga. Not a protest came from Mrs. D., until her husband began casting longing eyes at the swimming pool. This is a tile- lined beauty, but no good for swimming purposes anymore because the chemicals that Hollywoodians used to put in their pools to keep the water clear now go into bullets. Hardly a pool in all Hollywood is in use these days, account of the chlorine shortage. So all right. Barracuda and Ducks? “What, I have in mind,” announced” Dinehart, “is filling up the pool with water, either clear or salt. If I use fresh water, I'll stock the pool with trout. If I use salt, I'll raise barracuda.” Mrs, Dinehart, who was. eating her breakfast (of fresh eggs) in the yard with us, nearly threw an egg at him. She said he was going too far. She said patriotism or no patriotism, she intended to have no fish in her pool. “I also plan,” said Dinehart, unperturbed, “to put in a flock of ducks to swim on top.”
“The neighbors are putting up with enough as it is.” “I'm figuring on getting mallards,” said her husband. “Very pretty, very tame, and very soft-voiced.” “H-m-m-m-m,” said Mrs. Dinehart. Then Farmer Dinehart looked
