ment continued yesterday when.
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.

However, the board requested
that a visual inspection be made

the condition of these tires
should be noted on the R-l ap

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

TALK STRATEGY

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.
. Although the crowd was not
up to expectations at the com
munity sing in front of the court
house on Tuesday night, the
amount of bonds sold was grat
ifying, according to those in
charge of the program.

Willamette Discussed
There was conslderoblo dis
cusslon of the Willamette high

on the Pacific highway to Che-
mult on The Dallrs-Catlfornln.
Klamath representatives explain
ed this community's warm Inter
est in this route, and it Is expect
ed improvement of the wost end
of the Willamette, removing the
so-called "Goshen bottleneck,"
will have an important place on
the Klamath program. It has oc
cupied the No. 1 spot.
No Interest
Bend people displayed no in
to rest in the Willamette im
provements, and pictured the
Warm Springs as potentially a
more important cross-mountain
route. 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-
