Dwight D. Eisenhow er during the days before and after af-ter D-Day had a lot to do with smoothing the path of one of history's his-tory's most burdened men. They .varied in type from the highly efficient State of Main girl. Cant Mattie Pinette of the , Wacs, to the dark-haired, convent-reared Irish girl, Kay Sum-xnersby, Sum-xnersby, who was his No. 1 chauffeur. Kenneth S. Davis tells about them in his biography of Eisenhower, Eisen-hower, "Soldier of Democracy," which has Just been published. He intimates that these women had a better Insight into the Eisenhower Eisen-hower personality, than some of the high-ranking male- officers who were his immediate subordinates. Never Loses Temper Capt. Pinette. for instance, dis agrees with those who hold that General Ike was "easy" to work for. She arrived in Algiers with the first contingent of Wacs to reach North Africa in January, 1943. Davis says she understood her boss "rather more profoundly than did many of his high-rank ing subordinates" and in Capt. Pinette's opinion the general was exacting rather than easy a man who hated inefficiency even though he never lost "his temper with a subordinate. But even Capt. pinette says he was "fun to work for. She was most impressea by Eis enhowers phenomenal memory, Once he dictated to her a 300- word statement for a newsreel ap pearance, then delivered it ver batim to the cameras without once referring to his copy. An other time, during a "leisure hour" discussion of poetry, she heard him recite the greater part of Gray's Elegy in support of his contention that it was "the most perfect poem ever written." The informality of the Eisenhower Eisen-hower entourage may have given the impression that he was "easy." Sgt. Margaret Chick of Toledo. O.. remembers her first meeting. She was called into the anteroom and, when she hesitated at the thresh-hold thresh-hold of the general's office, was told by an aide: "Come on " in. He won't bite I you. Eisenhower laughed and Sgt. Chick remained as one of his two stenographers. Driver Became Secretary .

She took with a smile the bragging of chauffeurs who drove for lieutenant generals. "But he's such a nice major general. Kay said. Events were to prove how right sne was. K.ay went witn nun to North Africa; An American officer offic-er with whom she was deeply in love was killed and, to keep hen from brooding, Kaywas assigned between driving chores to 'the task of answering Eisenhower's voluminous correspondence. Probably Pro-bably with no other general would it have been possible to give such a task, usually the assignment as-signment of a highly adept secretary, sec-retary, to a chauffeur. But Kay Summersby became adept at framing replies for Eisenhower's signature, using the distinctive Eisenhower idiom so well that none could tell its from What he dictated himself. Though the general gen-eral insisted on reading every letter let-ter before signing lit, he seldom had to send one back for revision.

A chart (in case you came in late) is a large white card , with red squiggles and - printing big enough for senators, by squinting, to see at 20 paces.

"Anything less than a sentence of death by hanging would be a mockery," Kerr told the commis sion. An eauallv insistent demand for acquittal was made by chief defense counsel Lt. Col. Harry F.

Kerr said in reviewing testimony that the Japanese troops slaughtered 60,000 civilians and war prisoners. "The only question before the commission is whether Yamashita failed to perform his duty as commander com-mander of the troops. If he failed he is guilty of violating the laws of war . .

Kerr pointed out that Yamashita Yama-shita admitted knowledge of international in-ternational law and that an officer offi-cer in his position owed the duty of controlling his troops.

Is ij Girl Scouts Plan Important Role in Liberated Nations ALTOONA, Pa. (U.R) A key role as an antidotal agency for aggressor nations' youth movements move-ments will be played by Girl Scouts in the rehabilitation of war-ravished countries. Governments and diplomatic oinciais everywnere are enthusiastically enthusi-astically supporting international organization xl girl Scouts, according ac-cording to Scout Official Ger- aldine Howard, who announced the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts will meet in Switzerland in November. It will be the association's first meeting since the beainnins of me war. Miss Howard cited unfailins determination of European scout ing groups to reorganize im mediately after release from Axis oppression. One of the great signts in parts, following liber ation, were the Girl - Scouts marching 20 deep down the Champ Elysees. And the move ment had doubled itself during the German occupation and in spite of German occupation! "A full year before Mussolini was deposed, the Italian Girl Scouts began rebuilding their organization. or-ganization. The first groups met secretly In the Roman catacombs, right under the noses of the fascist!. "And when Queen Wilhelmina returned to Holland, she was met by Dutch Girl Guides, dressed in the uniforms they had hidden and aved for years." So n)uch for the background. Let us inarch on with science; s ' ' Chester Bowles, leading profes sor of .the chart, strode into- the senate small business committee hearing with his phalanx of OPA assistants, his easel, his charts, and! copies of his seven-cage statement. ! v Each senator and each correspondent cor-respondent received copy of the closely-typed statement, state-ment, which - said 4be OPA was more good than bad and ought to be continued. Prof. Bowles stood at his easel. His assistant, wearing an OPA price-approved suit of blue serge ana a speciciea neexue purchased below ceiling price, unveiled the stack of charts, and what do you think? Word for word, in let ters two inches high, was the text of Bowies' typed statement. The senators could read It in print. They could look at it on the ' charts. They couldn't miss hearing it Bowles read in a clear, strong voice, while his as sistant flipped each card away as soon as his boss reached, the last wora. .

Wherry, lawyer, auto dealer, and undertaker under-taker of Pawnee City, Neb., did so. The senator also is a furniture merchant and what he wanted to know was where did Bowles set that chart saying profits of small furniture dealers were up 183 oer cent? Bowles said he got the figures from the furniture deal exs. Not from furniture dealer Wherry, he didn't Sen. Wherry said.

The commission will recall testimony that the atrocities were overseen by Japanese officers. They obviously ob-viously were planned and were not the orgies of untamed men." Kerr's summation was preceded by defense arguments of Clarke and Capt. Adolf Reel of Boston, Mass.. Reel said Yamashita had not been connected with the killing or mistreatment of prisoners of war. Clarke urged that Yamashita did not "wilfully or in any other way" allow or know about the crimes charged against him. "The United States laws of land warfare say subordinate officers' crimes are not the responsibility of their superior. We respectfully ask the commission upon American Ameri-can justice to return a verdict of not guilty." Rear Adm. Wilder D. Baker, above, heads the Navy court martial which will try Capt. Charles B.
