Somervell, recently returned from a service and supply inspec tion tour in Italy . and southern France, gay the invasion figures on "These things thatthe German generals boasted we could not ac complish and ' which today are proven facts." . I The 17,000,000 ship tons'of sup plies,; he said, are ?More than twice. -the total General Pershing received through friendly ports in the 19 months of the first World war," while the 500,000 vehicles landed represent "four vehicles a minute, day and night . . and we're still landing them." Highest Stakes in JUce Terming the Red Ball motor route1 across! France from the beaches to the battle lines a "Race course with the highest stakes in history," Somervell said: "Convoys on this road move endlessly, at high speed. They are hauling ammunition, food, fuel, clothing, j Repair trucks prowl the route, ready to give quick aid. Spare vehicles stand by; if repairs win take long, cargo is transferred and speeded on its way. Every minute, day and night, a fresh truckload of supplies starts up the Red Ball toward the front Upon the skill and stamina of these young drivers, many of them ne groes, may rest the outcome of the battle and the fate of the civilized world. Suit Lost to Get American From British i i i WASHINGTON, Oct. l.-(ff-Mrs. Ann H. P. Kent of Washing ton failed today to enlist the aid of the supreme court in her fight to obtain the release of her son, Ty ler Kent, imprisoned in Great Britain on charges of violating the British official war secrets act. Mrs. Kent was refused permis sion to file a petition for a writ of mandamus in behalf of her son, former code clerk in the United States embassy in London. She contends that he was illegally im prisoned, j : He was convicted by British courts. in 1940 and sentenced to a seven year term.' In a statement last month, the department said that ' diplomatic immunity had been waived for him after Scot land yard advised the embassy that he was suspected of turning over copies of abstracts of secret documents to a German agent. Mrs. Kent's petition for a writ of mandamus called on President Roosevelt to establish the cause of Kent's detention and. if he were wrongfully held, to use "all acts snort of acts of war to obtain his release. . . Mrsl Kent said her son told her that United States authorities "fear the facts" in the case chal lenging in her court petition the right of the embassy to waive im-1 munity for her son, she contended that the "constitution follows the flag" and that he was entitled to bis protection as an embassy clerk. She previously had asserted that her son had been required to han dle "secret agreements" between President Roosevelt a n d Prime Minister Churchill and quoted young Kent as telling her that he "was almost nauseated at the part I had to play." Yanks, Natives Discover Each Not Bad ; PORTLAND, Oct ll-GPJ-Am-erican troops in the Solomon is lands .Were startled - to find the natives extending helping hand instead of a head-hunter's knife, the Rt. Rev. Walter H. Baddeley said today. , And the natives, -reported the Episcopal - bishop of Melanesia, were equally startled by. the cour tesy of invading Americans. In three years," declared Baddeley, whose diocese encompasses a 2, 000-mile island chain in the Pa cific war zone, "I have known of no case of misbehaviour by "any branch of the service in the is lands. Men have knelt humbly on the dirt floor of the tiny island churches with the natives during their services." " - : The first marines,' said' Badde ley, arrived in the Solomons with St pidgin English dictionary pub lished in' New Guinea for New Guinean aborigines. One native listened courteously to a dictionary-armed marine.. - ,i ; Finally, he interrupted. .."If. you talk to me in English, perhaps I will understand better." ; " - i The natives frequent! y hid downed airmen from the Japan ese, the bishop said. One flier who hid out for two days on an island reef from what he thought were cannibals was finally discovered by the natives and made guest of honor at a breakfast oftaro root "Thirty five years ago, how ever," added Baddeley," the ma rine would have been the treak- Th OnSGON STATESMAN.
