Phillips Monday refused a request
to permit DuBoee to remain at camp
until January 33.
Bid White, attorney for DuBoee, said
he had talked by telephone with him,
and he expressed a willingness to re-
turn, at any time his army superiors
would grant him permission. White

January 33.
The charge against the former en-
gineer alleges he made false claims for
expenses in connection with state
school land work and diverted a part
of the money to his personal use.

British Flier* Boat Bombers
The Germans who dropped the in-
cendiaries did their work so well that
they ruined the ensuing performance
of later relays carrying high explo-
sives. Barrage batteries were firing
like mad when they suddenly stopped
and there was a pause, broken only by
the crackling of flames, pounding of
motor pumps and one distent Nasi
bomber.
Then there was i new. different and
beautiful sound of motors in the
sky. followed by the rattle of multiple
machine guns. They sky had been
lighted up so nicely that the British
night fighters were able to see their
targets. And that, as far as the Ger-
mans were concerned, ended the
night's performance.

Morning Finds City's Business District, Which
Appeared Doomed by Flames, Largely Intact
LONDON, Dec. 30.—After an evening of blazing purgatory,'
during which the ancient “city” looked and felt like the Inside of
Vesuvius, London Monday once again performed its now familiar
quick-change act.
Streets and buildings in the business district and around St.
Paul’s, which seemed to disappear beneath flames during the
height of the German attack, were their same grimy selves,
largely intact. ♦

raid shelter* and others who had gone
bravely forth to stamp out incen-
diaries among the bursts of high ex-

others out of damaged hospitals and
shelters, were on their way to work.
By mid-morning the asMUlt had IB-
come just another nightmare to bs
remembered briefly and then for-
gotten in preparation for the next.

While the attack proceeded, it really
was a nightmare. For minutes at a

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 30 — Three of the country’s leading T?en
psychiatrists Monday proposed the labeling of every bottle of liq- ^ex^es s^^ wh« theN^di
had dropped high explosives into the
mess. Several big fires finally got
going and the whole heaven was
lighted up.
I Most citizen* wisely took to shelt-
Mass., and Dr. Leo Alexander of Harvard university declared that ers. and tubes were crammed to their
the federal food and drug administration should require all dis- doorways with standing and reclining
tillers to place on their bottles a label warning that the liquid
is a narcotic drug which is definitely harmful.
—----------------♦ No new legislation is necessary to
institute such a ruling because the
present food and drug law empower*
the administration to make rulings
considered necessary for the health of
the public. Doctor Alexander declared.
Doctor Moore added that "there is
no reason why alcohol should not be
labeled a poison in the Mme way
that arsenic, carbolic acid and other
poisons are labeled. If this was done
it would be a step toward'trmpersnce
and a decrease In our terrifically high
rate of hospitalization of alcoholic
addicts.**
Alcoholism, he declared. *1* 1.000
times a greater problem than that of
any other narcotic drug and the at-
tack on tt should begin with such
simple approaches as warning, poi-
son' labels on liquor bottles and per-
haps on cocktail glaaae*."
Dr Myerson added that "alcohol In
proper amounts is a very effective
therapeutic agent and even in mod-
erate amount* is helpful because
mankind properly needs some sedation
and relief from the strain of modern
living."
However, he added, “If alcohol is
taken in inordinate quantities it i*
I definitely dangerous tn the human or-'
ganlsm. Also, he Mid. many of
chronic alcoholism might be prevent-
ed by the greater use of vitamins,
i which correct alcoholic nervous dis-
orders. stimulate the appetite, and
overcome th* need for a "morning-
after drink which starts a vicious cir-
cle of alcoholic addiction." It might
•yen be a gopd Idea for bars to *erv*
vitamin tablets along with th* free
lunch. Doctor Myerson declared.
