THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...

FRED: “ Is it true, Judge, that a war can’t be won without the use of war-alcohol... the kind the beverage distillers have been producing for the government for over two years?” OLD JUDGE: •• That’s right, Fred. It is a basic ingredient in the smokeless powder used in virtually every firearm from a pistol to a 16-inch gun. And, in addition- it plays

a more human role. The medical supplies which our military doctors use to alleviate pain, combat infection, save lives are prepared with war-alcohol.” FRED: “ No wonder, then, more and more people are recognizing the great contribution our beverage distillers have made to the winning of the war with their doubltduty product.”

16 Poles Go On Trial In Moscow MOSCOW, June 18.—(UP) Gen. Bronislaw Okulicki, commander of the Polish home army, and 15 other Polish undergiound leaders went on trial for their lives today before the militaiy collegium of the Soviet supreme court. The trial hardly had begun when Okulicki rose and demanded that at least a dozen Polish officers be called as witnesses to actions of his army and relations between his army and the Re.I army in Poland. He said the officers were among those on a list already in Soviet hands. Okulicki succeeded Gen. Tadeusz (Bor) Komorowski, who went down to defeat in the illluted Polish uprising in Warsaw last year, as commander of the home army. The home army was under the direct jurisdiction of the Polish exile government in London. Several other members of tha London government were among the 16 defendants on trial for diversionist activity behind Red army lines. The trial began prolnplly at 11 a .m. in the marble-pillared ballroom of the Trade Union Hall, where the great mass trials of Soviet traitors were held in 1926. The ballroom was crowded with allied diplomatis, newsmen and Soviet dignitaries. Citat klieg lights illuminated the scene' and motion picture cameras made u permanent record of the proceedings. Three charges—each of them in itself a capital crime already have been revealed against the Poles. They are sabotage, terrorism of the Red army and the use of illegal radio transmitters after the Russian breakthrough from the Vistula to eastern Germany last January. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Binkley ind son, Ross Allen from Fort Wayne, Mrs. Vesta Rawlins and Mr. and Mrs. Allen. Binkley were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Owens at Hagerstown, Ind.
