WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 (U. P.). —Lt. Col. James P. 8. Devereux today received the navy cross awarded to him nearly four years ago for his herofe defénse of Wake Island. Undersecretary of the Navy Artemus IL. ‘Gates made the presentation. The citation, signed by the late ‘secretary of the navy Frank Knox for the late President Roosevelt, said: “For distinguished and heroic conduct in the line of his profession in the defense of Wake Island, Dec. 7 to 22, 1941.” Gates, pinning the navy's second highest decoration on the 42-year-old marine, said: “THis is one of the shortest and nicest citations I have ever read.” Standing beside his father was 11-year-old Paddy Devereux, who blinked in the face of newsreel cameras and shook his father’s hand shyly at the request of cameramen.

visited the grave of Mrs. Devereux, who died in, June, 1942, Devereux sald at a news con-| ference following the presentation that he thought his force destroyed about 10 attacking enemy ships before the surrender. Later, the Japanese told him the American defenders had accounted for 11 ships. Asked how he felt about the Japanese, Devereux replied that to hate someone you have to admit them to equality, “and I don’t think the Japanese people are equal to us in any way whatsoever.”

‘Woman's Slugging.

The search for thé assailant of Mrs, Charles E. Sanders, 40, of 1306 N. Oxford st. yesterday, was temporarily bogged dewn today as the slugging victim's condition was too serious for questioning. Detectives ‘Fae Davis and Michael Smiley said they: have been unable to get even a partial description of the person who hit Mrs. Sanders, gagged her and tied her up early yesterday morning. A physician at St. Vincent's hospital said she was in no condition to talk to detectives today, although her condition is slightly improved since yesterday. An earlier theory that Mrs. Sanders was struck with a boudoir lamp was discarded after medical examination revealed she probably was not struck with an instrument.

W Now an evangelist and anti-crime lecturer, Jennings said he has lived an exemplary life since his pardon. A former county attorney in El Reno, Okla., he claimed he became an outlaw to revenge the killing of his brother and was falsely accused of train robbery. Jennings, a wiry little man, described his ambush by deputies and told the jury: “I regret to tell you that I killed three of them, I also shot the

French- Lick.

Office and patronage-seeking Republicans gather at French Lick tomorrow to open the party's 1046 political campaign, with the principal plum being the U. 8. senatorship. The occasion will be the annual frolic of the Indiana Republican Editorial association, purely a political and social affair. Party leaders shied from public statements, and it was unlikely that the G. O. P, editors would an nounce whether Senator Raymond E. Willis, whom they supported in 1938 and 1040, again would have their good wishes. The editors were understood to have conducted a poll some months ago on the popularity of Willis, but the IREA directors have withheld its = results amidst unofficial talk that the senator was “on the way

Elliott Roosevelt Quoted = On His Radio Stock Profits

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 27 (U. P.).— Daily Variety, in a copyrighted article, today quoted” Elliott Roosevelt as saying the Texas radio stock he bought bagk from creditors for 2 cents on the dollar in 1941 is now re than $1,500,000. Variety quoted Roosevelt as saying part of the stock is now in possession of his former wife, Ruth Googins of Dallas, trust for the children of their marriage. Roosevelt, vecently placed on the army air forces inactive roster, plans to return to radio in a capacity he cannot yet reveal, VaThe son of the late a President Franklin D.
