Previous to the actual launching. held at 4 p.m., Miss Horne toured the yards in a bond-driving sale and added to the day's program by personally selling $5500 of, war sav ing bonds. MAKES STRONG APFEAL In making her appeal. Miss Horne reminded-the "soldiers of production" of the immirience of an attack and called on them for '('more ships, tanks, planes and guns." ; "The bonds we buy keep that attack away. Let's keep it that way," she said. "Our boys are giving their lives in our defense. . All we are asked to do is to lend our money with the best security in the. world." Responding, Mr. and Mrs. E. Kautzman, workers in Yard No. 2. led the purchasers by buying $2500 worth of bonds. - C. L. Dellums, president of the United Negro Labor Committee, accompanied Miss Horne on her tour of the yards and also made a brief address. GOKDAN TALKS .

McGrath, of San Mateo County, announced today that he had compiled damaging evidence against Frank Ontiveros, 20, and would charge him formally with the murder of his. estranged wife. Martha. 19. Grease smears that the sheriff said linked the murder with Ontiveros' automobile were found on the slain girl's knee. They made a pattern that McGrath said was identical with the rubber mat in the back of the youth's car. Mrs. Ontiveros body, when found, was in a position indicating that she had been cramped into a doubled-up position and left in the back of an automobile until rigor mortis set in.. . Pathological examination disclosed yesterday that she had been strangled to death, probably be tween 8 and 11 p.m. Tuesday. Her body was found in a roadside ditch behind Belmont the next morning. Ontiveros admitted that he had seen his wife the previous evening, but said he left her at 5 p.m. after talking with her about their impending divorce. He said that he then went to Palo Alto and picked up Miss Elsie Orellanes, a domestic, and went with her to a theater. She corroborated his story and said they were together until -after midnight. Ontiveros told officers that his wife had said she had a date "with Latin" that night.

He said the soldier came in with the monk on a leash and asked if he could tie it up for a couple of hours. Willing to do anything for a service man,' Casazza agreed. But the two hours strelch.ed into two weeks In that time, the animal did one exasperating thing after another. He bit a youngster the first week and yesterday he nipped Thomas Marshall, 11. of 619 56th Street, cutting his forehead. That was too much for Casazza, who called police. -' "Take that darned monk away from here," he growled. "It's got the disposition of a lousy Jap." The animal is nbw the problem of the.

OPA -officials said the only ex ception under which a loose stamp can be exchanged f.or rationed shoes is when ordering footwear by mail. In all other instances, the stamp must be removed from the War Ration Book fn the presence of the .shoe dealer, his employee or a per son making the delivery. The stamp may be torn out of the book and given to the shoe dealer or his rep resentative either when the shoes are ordered or when they are de livered. Window PJunge Fatal. . Mrs. Bessie Freeman, 64, died In a San Francisco hospital last night five hours after she either lumped or fell from a second floor window of her home at 1275 Twenty-eighth Avenue. Mrs. Freeman, a widow, had been in il health for some time, according to relatives. The fall occurred while he nursewas downstairs on an errand. " ' The sailor whose death has baf fled officers of the Navy, Oakland and Piedmont Police Departments since he was found unconscious last Monday-in the Municipal Rose Garden, ' apparently the victim of a slugging attack, was definitely identified today as Kenneth M. Decker; 26, Seaman 2nd Class. Police, however, were apparently no further along toward solution of the mystery, and appealed to East- bay cittpens with any knowledge oi the man or his movements prior to his death to contact them. Police Inspectors L. M. Jewel and Thomas Duffy, and Chief Petty Officer H. R. Hampton are in charge of the investigation. An autopsy performed a few hours after his death last Tuesday at the U.S. Naval Hospital here indicated Decker had died as the result of a basal skull fracture. The identification tag usually carried by service men had been removed from his body, and the only papers on him were tickets to a taxi dance. Police said yesterday that ship mates of the dead man had informed them he had been seeing "a girl friend who worked in a dance hall" during his leaves, but an investiga tion of this clue thus far has proved futile. Tracing Decker s movements on the night of his deat(lvtolice have established two viiuSto taverns, at Second Avenue and East 12th Street 1 and at Ninth Avenue and East 14th Street. After leaving the latter place about 11:30 p.m. Sunday, the sailor was not seen until he was discovered unconscious a few hours later.

Failure of Brakes on Hill Ends Fatally For Oakland Man An Oakland woman was killed by a hit-run driver here last night, a few hours after a local man lost his life in a spectacular collision with another automobile. ' Mrs. 'Sophia Sandoval, 53, of 606 Castro Street, was the victim of the hit-run accident. Thorvald Thorkelson, 53, of 1703 East 21st Street, died in the other tragedy.

Mrs. Sandoval died from her injuries at Highland Hospital. ! Thorkelson was driving down the steep East 21st Street hill when his brakes failed and the car rolled into the intersection of 14th Avenue, directly in the path of an auto driven by Frederick H.
