Three Girls Hit
At Rule Sending
Husbands Away
SAN FRANCISCO, July 11
(UP) Three girls today protest
ed an army ruling ordering their
Italian soldier husbands sent to
an Arizona prison camp because
of regulations prohibiting mar
riage between prisoners of war
and American citizens.
The girls are Italian-Americans,
They are Norma Romeo Scorza,
23, Virginia Panfili Mazzoncini,
21, and Mildred .Circo Bertolotti.
Mrs. Scorza and Mrs. Mazzoncini
were married at Antioch, Calif.,
in a double ceremony June 17
and Mrs. Bertolotti was married
June 3 at Martinez. When the
marriages were discovered, the
army returned their husbands to
prisoner-of-war status and sent
them to Arizona.
The soldiers, Guiscppe Berto
lotti, 24, Maurizio Scorza, 22, and
Frederico Mazzoncini, 23, were
brought to the United States as
prisoners of war. They were
later granted "co-belligerent
status" and were members of the
24th Italian quartermaster group.
They met their wives on loaves
from their camp.
The girls called for an investi
gation of "many more secret
marriages between American
girls and former Italian prisoners
of war."
"I don't think it's fair to sep
arate us," said Mrs. Scorza. "If
they don't want the boys to get
married, they shouldn't let them
go out to dances and parties like
they do. They're young and good
looking, and, of course, they fall
in lover What did the army expect?"
Cargo Vessel Lives
After 500 Pound i
Bombs Hit Decks
PORTLAND, July 11 (UP) ;
Another plucky ship, the cargo'
vessel S. S. Brown Victory, was
here today for repairs. Four men
were killed and the mast broken
when a Jap bomber, loaded with
two 500-pound bombs, crashed
nt a 45-dcgree angle on her for-;
ward deck off Ie Jima May 28. j
Launched af Portland only two:
months before her .clash with a
twin-engined Jap "Betty," the
Brown Victory had only the dayi
before narrowly missed damage:
when a Nip "Kamikaze" plane;
zoomed over her bow. i
Skippered by T. A. Johansenj
of San Francisco, the Brown Vic-1
tory was unloading cargo when1
the Jap bomber, chased by three
American Cosair fighters, loomed
over the horizon.
Apparently finding his plight
futile and already punctured by
gunfire from the fighters anc:
naval fire from the ships in the
bay, the pilot turned hs riddled
bomber into a suicide ship.
In a matter of seconds the
Brown Victory was a scene of
desolation. The ship's mast and
booms were sheared off, and
every part of the vessel was
smothorod by shrapr(l, killing
four men and wounding 20.
Barbara Hutton to
Divorce Cary Grant
HOLLYWOOD, July 11 (UP)--Barbara

girl who married a prince, a
count and a movie star in a fran
tic search for. happiness, today

She has sued actor Cary Grant,
onetime English acrobat, for di
vorce. ,
Attorney Jerry Geisler filed
Ihc brief complaint against the
handsome Grunt, first commoner
husband of the second richest
woman in the world, charging he
caused her "grievous mental dis
tress, suffering and anguish."
Field Fears White
Attitude to Others
PORTLAND, July 11 (UP)
Marshall Field, publisher of the
Chicago Sun and New York PM,
in Portland today on behalf of
the American council on race re
lations, said he is concerned
about the attitude of white per
sons toward members of other
races.
"If drives against a particular
group get started, they get out of
control quickly. Then there's no
telling what the outcome will
be," he said.
He cited Hitler's drive against
the Jews and other special groups
as an example. He said his or
ganization is as concerned with
Japanese as it is with Negroes.

Both Found Dead
PEABODY, Mass., July 11 (UP)
A deaf and dumb prize-fighter
beat his deaf and dumb wifc and
only daughter to death with a
hammer early today and con
fessed by writing a note to police.
"I killed my wife and baby,"
read the note which Dave Hor
blit, 26, scrawled on a scrap of
paper, after walking Into a police
station.
The policeman at the desk, not
ing Horblil's naot white shirt and
well - washed hands, shook his
head in disbelief. Hor'bllt nodded
affirmation and when asked how
it occurred wrote again on the
paper
"A hammer."
. Wed Two Yean
Police accompanied the light
heavyweight to his home on
Maple street where the 'bodies ol
Mrs. Cathrine Horblit, 22, and
her '20-month-old daughter Caro

which Horblit said he had
used.

hod become convinced his wife
no longor loved him, police, said.
They were married two ydars
ago.
Explained
"My wife didn't love me 'any
more," he wrote. "I couldn't
stand, It."
A well-mannered youth, :police
said Horblit explained to police
he awakened early this morning
and attacked his wife and baby
while they slept.
No Plans Made To
Control Japanese
WASHINGTON, July 11 (UP)
Almost complote absence of
inter-allied planning for postwar
control of Japan is causing ap
prehension today .in some official
quarters.
Certain U. S. officials, recall-
ing tne arrangements under
which the big allies drafted thair
four-power control plan for Ger
many, are wondering when a
similar system is going to be
formulated for Japan.
The answer so far. has been
nothing can be done until the
United States, Britain, China and
if she enters the Pacific war-r-Russia
form a Pacific advisory
council.
So far, according to reliable'
sources here, no move has been,
made n this direction. While)
these quarters entertain no ideas
that the Japanese war will end
tomorrow, they nevertheless b-i
licve a plan for occupation and
control of Japan should be com
pleted and ready.
Nelson Takes 2-up
Lead From Sarazen
DAYTON,. 0., July 11 (UP)
Byron Nelson, Toledo, O., trying
to beat the jinx which has been
trailing him for three PGA
tournaments, grabbed a two-up
lead over Gene Sarazen, New
York, toduy at the halfwuy mark
in their 38-holc opening round
match of the 1945 PGA cham
pionship. Nelson and Sarazen were all
even at the end of their first nine
holes, but Nelson fired a ono-undcr-par
35 on the back nine of
the rolling Moraine country club
course to pick up two holes on
Sarazen at the end of the 18.
Suruzen, the spry little Con
necticut squire who won the first
of his three PGA titles 23 years
ago, tried a little on the back nine
to lake three bogie, one a double
bogie, for a 39. Sarazen, 10 years
Nelson's senior, had a 74 for the
18 while Nelson posted an even
par 72.

Drop Irregularly
'NEW YORK, July 11 (UP)
The stock market declined irreg
ularly today on contracted trad
ing. Recent strong favorites yielded
a point or more on profit-taking.
In some instances the recessions
came more from lack of demand
than frm any selling pressure.
Special issues and special groups
enjoyed fair demand for a time
but eased from their highs before
the close.
Pan American Airways and
Columbia Gas again led the turn
over. Fair sized volume was not
ed In . Armour and Pepsi-Cola.
Columbia Gas made a new high
and other utilities held firm with
the average showing a small gain
in contrast with other major
groups.

U. S. Promises of
Building Lumber
PORTLAND, July 11 (UP)-i
G e o rg e Gerlinger, Portland,
president of the National Lum
ber Manufacturer's association,
took issue with government offi
cials today who have promised
lumber for farm and home .build
ing in the remaining months of
1945.
Gerlinger said that military
and direct war lumber require
ments alone will take 80 percent
of the west coast production in
the next three months. , .
"dumber manufacturers would'
like nothing better than to make
large quantities of this critical
material available to home and
farm builders at once to help the
conversion period ahead," Ger
linger stated, "but our first obli
gation is to the military services
and today lumber is the most
critical of all War materials and
a shortage might easily hinder
if not actually delay our attack
on Japan."
He said demands for lumber
for an attack on the Japanese
mainland are consuming the bulk
of west coast production, which
is the largest share of natural
production.
