want to kill, but I would be satis
fied with noncombatant duty."
Weber had been sentenced to
: be hanged but the sentence was
commuted to life imprisonment
by the court-martial.

case by the house military affairs
committee.

matter becomes a blot on the rec
ord of the armed forces.")
There was no violence in con

Cop With Ifchy Nose Can Ball
Things Up, Othman Discovers
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Prima Btnrf Currtwiiundunt)
Washington, Feb. 9 (111 Great
Investigations from little Itches
grow, or:
If Mnyor Florello La Guardla
hadn't sent a cop with an Itchy
nose to watch an auction sale In
New York these things, from one
to six, probably wouldn't have
happened: r
1. The cop wouldn't have had to
scratch himself.
2. The eagle-eyed auctioneer,
Jake Goldberg, wouldn't have
thought this scratching of the
smeller was a signal that the of
ficer had bought 200,000 feet of
federal surplus sewer pMpo.
3. The policeman wouldn't have
got Into a fight with Goldberg
over what did he want with a car
load of second hand pipe?
4. This argument wouldn't have
been reported to the mayor.
5. His honor wouldn't have
called Goldberg a rogue.
G. The committee of Sen. James
Mead of New York wouldn't have
hauled the white-haired, black-eye
browed Goldberg down to Wash'
lngton to defend himself.-
"Senators, he cronked In a
voice made hoarse by 25 years of
auctions, am not a criminal
am not a rogue."
He went on to Identify himself
as a long time dealer In toilet
seats, Including the mother-of-
pearl variety. Eventually he got
back to that Itchy officer.
"I had an awful time getting
the bidders to call their names.
he said. "Now about that police
man scratching himself. An auc-
I Honor has got to be on his toes.
Some people scratch (Goldberg
demonstrated) and some people
look down (he looked down) and
some jerk their thumbs (he jerked
his thumb) to signal their bids.
"You got to be quick as a flnsh.
My making a mistake and selling
to a policeman who Itches is no
discredit to me."
Goldberg had been In the com
mltteeroom for a week, hearing
himself and his auction of surplus
plumbing and electrical supplies
denounced.
"Gentlemen." he said. "I have
been looking at you. I don't think
you're here to crucify me."
The senators assured him they
weren't, Next thing Goldberg
knew he was talking about rock.

I a lady. Hie books showed that
$24.50 had been spent for cock
tails by the firm, but Goldberg
said one of his partners must have

I spent that much money for cock
j tails In his lifetime.
"Nylon stockings are very valu
able," interrupted Son. Homer Fer
guson of Michigan. "Have you
ever bought any nylons?'
Goldberg said he never had,
changed his mind, and said he may
have given a pair to a stenog
rapher at the American Radiator
Co.
"Wasn't It two pairs; cost $12?"
Insisted Ferguson, reading from
Goldberg's records.
"Maybe It was," said Goldberg.
"Does your wife have access to
your books?"
"She docs not," snapped Gold
berg. He took time out then to wipe
Ills brow with his handkerchief.
The senators told him to be back
Wednesday ' morning for some
more of the same.
Wearily he walked out.-And If
that cop hadn't had an itchy nose

Flames Disfigure
Ancient City of
Manila on Luzon
By Ralph Teatsorth
(United PreM War Corrrapondent)
Manila, Feb. 9 (IP) Fire and
battle have disfigured Manila hor
ribly In the past week and vast
areas of the ancient city lie In
blackened ruins today.
By the time the last Japanese
have been killed here many parts
of the center of the city and the
oort area will be unrecognizable
and Will have to be rebuilt en
tirely. Huge fires set by gunfire and
Japanese demoltion crews have
been raging unchecked for six
days and nights, casting a great
pall of smoke ana name over tne
city that can be seen for miles.
Life is beginning to return td
normal in the liberated northern
half of the capital, but the boom
ing of artillery and the occasional
rattle of machine gun fire are
constant reminders that the war is
still only a few hundred yards
away.
City Center Viewed
I viewed the center of the city
yesteraay irom ine top or miiiu
prison and the Malaeanan palace, j
Both were still under artillery and
mortar fire, but had suffered only
slight damage.
. The greatest visible damage ap
pears to have occurred in the main
business district on the . north
bank of the Pasig river. Fires have
levelled most of that area includ
ing the Philippines national bank,
the National City bank, the Japa
nese bazaars and the big. depart
ment stores.
; The Binondo, San Nicolas and
Santa Cruz areas extending more
than a mile inland from the har
bor on the north side of the river
also have been burned out. The
Great Eastern, Marco Polo, and
Central hotels and the Santa Cruz
church are among the familiar
buildings destroyed in those sec
tions. Sections Burned
The fire line ran roughly be
tween the river and Azcarraga
street as far east as Bilibid prison,
but a section of the city between
Bilibid and the railroad terminal
also was burned to the ground.
Wednesday night an entire city
block just south of Santo Tomas
University caught fire and was de
stroyed. The fine San Sebastian cathe
dral, whose towering steel spire
was fabricated in Liege, Belgium,
Is still undamaged, but a church
In the Binondo district, which the
Japanese used as an ammunition
dump, -has been blown sky high.
