GERALD SULLIVAN PROTESTS, BUT-
Boston's 'Captive Boy'
With Mother for Week-end
Boston, July 5 W.PJ Thirteen-year-old Gerald Sullivan, Bos
ton's surly-haired "captive boy," was back over the week-end
in the custody of his mother, the woman he "hates" for imprison
ing him in a dungeon-like chamber for more than a decade.
Despite his stormy objections, Gerald was taken from a con
valescent home by Attorney
Relief Food Arrival in Honolulu of the food-laiden
Hawaiian refiner (above) marked the 60th day of the ILWU
stevedore strike in Hawaii. By agreement between the gover
nor's official food committee and the ILWU, the specially des
ignated "relief ship" was unloaded at prevailing stevedore
rates and by union stevedores. The ship's cargo of 11,150 tons
of food supplies was the largest relief shipment to date.
Here, 747 tons of potatoes are piled on the freighter's decks.

BOYS HAVE NEW IDEA
Prep School Boys Help
Themselves and Others
Tarrytown, N. Y. (f) Charity, the boys at Hackley decided,
should not always begin at home.
Sometimes, they reasoned, it should start with boys away at
school.
Every year the students at the Hackley college preparatory
-school for boys are called upon
to contribute to the Red Cross,
Community Chest and other reg
ular charities. This most of
them did, simply by writing
home to Pop for the money.
This year, however, some of
the students decided they would
create a little philantrophy all
on their own. Their goal was
to supply two-week vacations
for 25 under - privileged boys
from Tarrytown.
The Hackley boys who range
in age from 12 to 18, raised al
most $1,400, without once ever
writing home for help.
They did it by collecting $310
at their own vesper services, by
staging a benefit concert which
netted $650, and by running a
track meet and concession stands
which brought $175 and by hit
ting up the local Rotary club
for $200.
Late in June the 25-Tarry-
town boys began their vacations
at a camp on the Hackley cam
pus which was supervised and
operated by 10 student-counsel
lors. All the Hackley facilities
were thrown open to the visitors
swimming, baseball, track,
tennis, gym, and riding stables.
Dr. Mitchell Gratwick, the
school's headmaster, said the
project has helped inspired bet-"
ter relations between "town and
gown" between Tarrytown and
Hackley.
Also," ne said, "our own
boys profited by rubbing
shoulders with youngsters of all
types. It broadened their ho
rizons. It helpad them to see
these younsters from Tarrytown,
not as kids from the other side
of the tracks, but as boys just
like themselves."

For Treason Begins
San Francisco, July 5 (U.B
Mrs. Iva Toguri D'Aquino,
known to thousands of Pacific
war veterans as Tokyo Rose,
goes to trial for treason today.
She is accused of making
treacherous broadcasts to Amer
ican troops during the war.
If convicted, she faces a maxi
mum penalty of death and a
minimum sentence of five years
In prison, plus a $10,000 fine.
She already has served two
years in prison awaiting trial.

year-old American of Japanese
descent admits she broadcast to
American troops during the war.

treasonous in her remarks. A
graduate of the University of
California at Los Angeles, she

Firemen Praise
Rescue Work of Gl
Aberdeen, Wash., July 8 (U.B
An 18-year-old soldier who
rescued seven persons from the
burning Lafayette hotel drew
high praise from firemen today
but he modestly disclaimed
credit.
Pfc. Gerald Ramey of Olym-
pia, Wash., badly burned In his
repeated trips into the flaming
building, spurned the role of a
hero saying, "it wasn't me. It
was three other guys."
But Aberdeen firemen told
the soldier's father that "never
before have we seen anyone
work so hard and keep his head
so well under such trying cir
cumstances."
Seven persons died and six
were injured in the fire that de
stroyed the old building early
Sunday. '

Irate Wife Can't
Wreck Rival's House
San Jose, Calif. U.P Even if
an irate wife suspects her hus
band is hiding in her rival's
house, she can't knock down the
door to investigate not in this
town anyway.
Judge Percy O'Connor fined
Mrs. Hustina Tucker, 26, the
wife, and Carrie May McClen
don, 24, the rival, $20 each for
disturbing the peace. The com
plaint was that Mrs. Tucker bat
tered down the door in search

Clendon used her fingernails In
defense.
Officers who investigated,
found husband Van Tucker, 27,
hiding under the bed. Tucker
escaped without a fine.

Daniel J. O'Connell, his moth
er's counsel.
However, it was not known
whether the boy actually was
forced to meet his mother, Mrs.
Anna Sullivan, 45.
He was "somewhere in the
country," but his whereabouts
remained a mystery to all but
Mrs. Sullivan, O'Connell and
few close friends.
Mrs. Sullivan, under a prison
sentence for neglecting the boy,
locked herself in her home and
refused to see anyone.
... y
O'Connell was able to claim
Gerald against the boy's will be
cause he posted $10,000 bail set
Thursday when the youngster
was adjudged a neglected child.
Under juvenile law a neglected
child technically becomes a de
fendant and may be held in bail.
Gerald agreed to go with
O'Connell only after the lawyer
assured him they were going
"for a ride in the country," and
promised to bring him back to
the home if he didn t like it.
Even then, the boy shouted:
"I don't trust you. I don t be
lieve you.
...
When O'Connell came to take
him from the protective custody
of the children's mission home
in West Roxbury, Gerald's face
turned white and his hands
trembled. He clung to a chair
and cried:
"I don't want to go with you."
"I don't want to live with my
mother."
"Let me stay!"
When Gerald finally was per
suaded to go w.ith O'Connell, he
wouldn't take any clothes other
than what he was wearing and
even emptied his pockets of
candy.
He gave the candy to Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith, the home's su
perintendent, saying, "I'll eat it
when I come home. I want it
I here at home when I come back

World Described
As Global Weed Patch
Portland, U Colin Quack-
enbush, one of the top national
leaders of the Jevoah's Wit
nesses, declared Sunday that the
world is a "global weed patch"
which the Lord will soon plow
under.
Quackenbush told an est!
mated crowd of 5,500 persons
that the present generation
would see Christ's second com
ing, and with it the end of "such
human follies as national gov
ernments, the United Nations
organization, armies and navies."
Later in an interview he said:
"We have been denounced as
communists, fascists, 'pink s,1
and crackpots because of our
unorthodoxy. This is not true.
We simply believe in giving our
first allegiance to the laws of
God.
