lakes area in Norway would be
an ideal location for an allied
air field, which suggests that
these parachute troopers may be
working feverishly to build a
field where allied planes could
land BEHIND THE GERMAN
LINES along the Norwegian
coast.
It looks on its face like nothing
more than the wildest kind of
wishful thinking, but almost any
thing is possible in these days.
In the event of an invasion of
Norway, such a field would be of
almost unbelievable value.

said she saw no blood on Bow

blow.
Continuing cross-examination
answers, Mrs. Bowman said that
when she met wallan after the
alleged attack at the Bowman
house, Wallan said, "Don't file
complaint," or "will you file
a complaint."
Hears Swearing
Mrs. Holbrook, who lives
across a driveway from the Bow-

man residence, said she heard
goring ,n(J joud talk outside
Bnd looked out of , wlndow w 8
joor ,
She said she saw a man, much
excited and swearing, who was
walking around and throwing
things. She saw only one man.
A little later, she said, she
heard more noise, and went to
the door. She testified she saw
a man with a board, slamming it
up and down apparently against
the ground or an object on the
ground. She said ihe could Hot
see the ground because of a car
in the driveway.
"That's My Daddy"
At that Juncture she said, the
little Bowman girl came to the
Bowman side door and screamed,
"My God, quit It. That's my
daddy."
Then Mrs. Holbrook went to
the Tlk-Tok to call police. She
found the restaurant closed. On
the way back, she met Mrs.
Bowman.
She testified she told Mrs.
Bowman, "Somebody is beating
your husband to death."
Afraid of Wallan
She told of meeting Wallan
and said she was afraid of him.
She quoted Wallan as saying,
"They tell me I've killed him."
Then Mrs. Holbrook went
home. She said many people
were gathered about the drive
way and she went in the house.
In an opening statement Wed
nesday afternoon, Defense At
torney J. C. O'Neill contended
Bowman was quarrelsome and
had had two fights at the hotel
party. He claimed Bowman
started, the fight with Wallan.

In his opening statement, Dis

said the state would show that
Wallan dragged Bowman out of

business and industry in the 32

actions carrying April 1 dead

1. Draft boards to begin re

occupations, as available for
immediate induction, regardless
of whether they have wives or
children. Those registered with
U. S. employment offices for
other jobs will get a 30-day stay
of induction.
2. The army. to cease granting
outright discharges to men 38
years and older. Instead, men
released for work in agriculture
or essential industry are to be
transferred to the enlisted re
serve. This means they can be
recalled to active duty at any
time.
