Mrs. Wright requested legal counsel but said she had no funds. Asked to Check Police asked federal authori ties specifically to check Mrs. Wright's story that she suffered numerous injuries, including three shrapnel wounds in the head, in the Pearl Harbor raid. She said she was working in an army administration building at ine time. District Attorney H a r 1 aw Weinrick said the woman had lost a child in a birth a number of years ago, and, longing for a baby, had posed elaborately as an expectant mother for months before she abducted the two- day-old Gurney girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Gurney. Feigned Pregnancy She feigned frequent illness and complained of headaches, Weinrick said. She told every one she was pregnant and once friends honored her with "baby shower." After this build-up. the story was believed by all even though she appeared at . home a few hours after supposedly giving birth to the girl, Weinrick said. The story collapsed, however. after one neighbor noted that she hung diapers in a garage. away from general view, instead of in the sunshine, Weinrick added. In the resultant investigation nurses and doctors denied the woman had been a hospital pa tient and a physical examina tion proved she had not borne a child recently, the district attor ney said. Clings to Story After clinging steadfastly for hours to the story that the baby was here, Mrs.. Wright admitted the abduction, Weinrick said, in a transcribed statement describ ing her actions in detail: She took the two-day-old baby from her crib in the Albany General hospital nursery Mon day night, not early Tuesday as police had supposed because Judith's disappearance was dis covered about 1:30 a. m., by a nurse. - . Gee to Hospital She went into the hospital after visiting hours through the main entrance, walked to the nursery on the second floor, took the baby, carried her down the back stairs and departed by the main entrance. Apparently no nurse or hospi tal attache noticed her, at least none questioned her. v Entrance Easy Weinrick "said her entrance was made easy by the main door being ajar, its automatic lock ap parently having failed to slip in to place a few moments before she arrived. Only one nurse was on duty on the second floor at the time and she was busy in rooms of patients.

Motorists wishing to have tires replaced on passenger cars need only have the tire to be replaced subjected to a com plete examination by a tire in spector, the war price and ra tioning board said today. . However, the board requested that a visual inspection be made of the remaining tires and that the condition of these tires should be noted on the R-l ap plication, along with that of the tire to be replaced. A correction was issued on the requirements listed on the inside of the TT book for com mercial drivers. Instead of hav ing tires inspected every 6000 miles or every two months, the book should read, "commercial vehicles bearing TT stickers shall have tires inspected every six months, or 8000 miles, whichever comes first." R-l applications for truck tires should specify the only condition of the tire to be re placed, and not include the con dition of all the tires as it is requested in the passenger tire applications.

TALK STRATEGY (Continued From Page One) momentous conversations tak ing place in the grey stone cita del from which fly the British Union Jack and the Canadian red ensign. Canadian officials said there was a chance that Churchill and MacKenzie King would hold a joint press conference today, but there were no indi cations that they could deal in anything more than generalities about present and future plans for the conduct of the war. By JAMES F. KING LONDON, Aug. 11 MP) Prime Minister Churchill's jour ney across the Atlantic for his sixth wartime meeting with President Roosevelt stirred spontaneous and optimistic talk in London today of a "victory- this-year assault of Europe. virtually unanimous agree ment was expressed on all sides that the allied chieftains were getting together to lay final plans for the grand offensive in theatres of war other than the Mediterranean where over whelming allied military might has already asserted itself. The presence of Britain's top flight military men with Churchill in Quebec led to one conclusion that United States. British and dominion forces would soon be storming the European continent from many directions in fulfillment of Churchill's own prediction of a combined action before win ter. The absence of Premier Jo seph Stalin was noted by most commentators. .

The stiffest fighting, however, raged in the area of Randazzo, north of Mt.

Defend Randasso Randazzo's domination of com munications in the narrowing bridgehead made it another Tunis or Bizerte so far as Sicily is concerned and the Germans were defending it at all costs.

They asserted the open ing of the Willamette a few years ago reduced travel through Bend. The discussions and tentative agreements reached at the meet ing will be taken up with the highways committees of tho two chambers ot commerce, with the two county courts, and ultimate ly with the directors ot the two chambers. It was agreed, however, to work vigorously together to get fair share of post-war expen diture for the east-of-the-moun- tain roads, and there was some talk of forming an association of interested committees on this side of the, mountains.
