That was what she told Judge William V. Albury in city court yesterday afternoon. “Even when I woke up in jail, Judge, I didn’t know where I was, and when I was told I was in Key West, I tried to think how I came to come here, and I haven't been able to find out yet.” “You don't recall getting on the bus to come here?” Judge Albury asked. . “No, sir, your honor.

This is how it works: With highflying bombers acting more or less as a decoy for the ship's main de- fensive firepower, another bomber comes in at low level, broadside to the merchantman, exchanging gunfire. The plane is able to draw a much better bead on its target than the bombers soaring at a 2 or 3-mile altitude. TO BE HELD AT FIRST METH- ODIST CHURCH BY REV. LOVE B. HARRELL Rev. Love B.

Loomane ALLIES WONDER ABOUT U.S. FUTURE POLICIES DEPEND ON US Under - Secretary of Sumner Welles says that one of the gravest doubts which exist in the minds of our partners of the United Nations today is “the doubt as to what the policy of the United States will be when victory is won.” Obviously, the course that Great Britain or Russia will pursue after the Axis has been destroyed de- pends upon the course that the United States will follow. If the United States is ready for close collaboration with its present partners in the peace that suc- ceeds warfare, then both Great Britain and Russia will be ‘able to adopt a liberal attitude toward proposals made in regard to world- wide reorganization. If, on the other hand, the United States is to withdraw again behind a world of isolationism and leave | the other nations of the world to | take care of themselves, it is log- ical to expect the British and the Russians to protect themselves. In addition to an offensive-defensive alliance both nations will prob- ably deem it wise to take charge lof all territory that is necessary to safeguard their future secur- ity. Between the British and the United States there are differences to be ironed out and undoubtedly, serious questions will arise be- tween Washington and Moscow |The solution of these problems depends in part upon our willing- ness to cooperate in preserving the peace of the world and protect- ing other nations from unwarrant- ed aggression. Until the United States makes clear its post-war policies, it is practically impossible for Great Britain or Russia to state, in def- inite terms, their war aims. | RECIPROCAL TRADE PACTS ,GO ON DURING THE WAR The reciprocal trade policy of Secretary Hull continues to ex- pand despite the existence of the | war.
