(Special) 12-hour search for Paul Hanold, following the death of William Neubauer, 51, village marshal at Brighton, ended shortly before noon today when Hanold, accompanied by a brother, Floyd, gave himself up to Sheriff Rasor of Macoupin county. Ncubauer was fatally wounded with shotgun shortly after mid- I ingtoni he said So lhat letler from son in the service to mother at home can be delivered without delay, Alton's postoffice will remain open hours on Thanksgiving Day, and one mail delivery will be made.

Orders for maintenance of service on Thanksgiving Day were received from the Postoffico Department at Washington and announced today by Postmaster J. L. Lampert. The orders cite specifically that delivery is being maintained on the holiday for the benefit of mail from men in their nation's service, and for the war industries. Postmasler Lampert said the money order window and one stamp window in the postoffice lobby would offer service between Ihe I jurs of 7 and 11 a.

Joseph's Hospital, Alton. Sheriff Rasor said this afternoon lhat Hanold readily admitted that h. had shot Neubauer, but insisted lhat he had not fired until after Ncubauer had fired at him with a revolver.

The sheriff said that Ihe end of the little finger on Han- ild's right hand had been shot off. The shooting occurred in front of a store on Brighton's Main street. Hanolri told the sheriff lhat the shooting followed a heated argument at a Brighton tavern during which Neubauer, without attempting to arrest him, had struck him (Hanold) over the head with'a club several times. The sheriff related that Hanold's verbal statement averred that each Wow by the club had floored him. When Hanold arose the last time, his statement said, he informed the marshal thai "this is the last time No appropriation is provided to finance the extra service, so men working on Thanksgiving will bo given days off later on to make up, Aussie Column Occupies Gona.

While some of the Allied left wing forces were completing the mop-up job in Gona, others turn- down the coast toward Sananan- da, between Gona and Buna, which the enemy was reported to occupy in force. The Japanese fiercely around were Buna resisting although they were forced to fight with no air or sea support.

General MacArthur's bombers kept close watch along the coast for any effort to reinforce or evacuate the Japanese units which are being slowly shoved back into the sea.

The project, sponsored by the Ki wanls Club and assured of a degree of federal support would be administered by the Advispry Council of tile Nursery School to whom the city would give a lease under which the city would assunv no expense or obligations. Approval of the leasing plan is scheduled for Wednesday night's council meeting. The proposal for lease of HasKell House, recently turned back to Ins city by Alton Legion post, was outlined to aldermen by Mayor Struif.

The proposition had just come to hand, he explained, because it was not until last Saturday that the promotional committee had received assurance of some, federal aid for the financing. Sponsored by Klwanis Some lime ago, Struif recounted, a group of Kiwanians became interested in a nursery school project. Because the need now for a nursery is far greater due to the war, the group has organized more formally and brought forward the project to put the vacant Haskell House to a use of great potenlial importance in the defense manufacturing program. H. A.

Voigt, he said, is chairman of the Advisory Council formed for the project; Herman Wilken is secretary-treasurer; and others prominenlly idenlified with the plan are Nyal Witham, Walter Budde, Frank Craig, and C. E. Langham. Chairman Voigt was present. He did not address the finance committee, but later conferred with nterested aldermen and with the city's legal adviser as to terms of the leasing plan.

As Mayor Struif expressed the proposal made, the advisory council would take over Haskell House on a year-to-year basis, assuming all costs of maintenance including Jtfstoratio3. th? heating plant. The city's only contribution would be to keep up a certain amount of insurance on the building for which it would in any event be obligated. "It looks to me like a good proposition for the city," said Struif, ir. conclusion.

"The nursery school should be a great community benefit, and a project of tremendous importance for the local defense- manufacturing effort. I have had no opportunity to sound out how the council members feel about such a project, but I hope that we can give a quick answer to the committee on whether such a lease is acceptable." Earlier Struif explained briefly that the nursery school would provide a place for working mothers to leave young children while away at their employment. Because many women work on night shifts, Ihe plan is to operate the school round the clock, caring for children either night or day while cnt. are away from home because of their work. The plan contemplates that the Park Commission continue in administration of most of the Haskell tract grounds, but that the lease include a space about the building big enough for use of the children in warm weather.

Agreement reached in the conference was that the lease proposal be referred to the city legal department so it may be presented, for action Wednesday night.

pie who can't resist getting How the tin can collection will be financed and handled in Alton was discussed Monday night at a meeting or the refuse disposal commillee of City Council, and the tentative decision reached was that Alton General Hauling the city's refuse collection contractor, will be authorized to increase its facilities at city expense so that city-wide collection at least once a month may be undertaken. Saturday, Dec. 19, was tentatively set as the initial collection day. Also agreed was that the city will erect a storage bin and loading rack to facilitate the transfer of prepared cans to freight cars in which they will be shipped to a de-tinning plant. Location proposed for the loading depot is on the Front slreet terrace near the foot of Alton street.

The terrace will facilitate the loading of freight cars. Additional Truck Doubt was expressed that the sale of scrap tin will defray all costs of collecting and loading, but the committee recommended that the city absorb the excess cost as its contribution to the war effort. The commitlee conclusion was that Ihe collection contractor should be paid the equivalent of adding services of one additional truck, about $300 a month, for han the collection, this to Ije. scaled up or down as experiefifce determines may be equitable. The several conelusions of the committee are to be embodied in a resolution which the chairman, Alderman Phil Blackburn, will have drawn for presentalion lo the city council either at its meeting next Wednesday or at its first December session.

Advice of the city's legal department must be had on some details of the project, and for this reason, Blackburn pointed out, it may not be possible to have the program ready for aldermanic action next Wednesday. Because the city has a population greater than 25,000, and maintains a garbage collection and disposal service supported by taxes, it becomes the city's duty under the federal order for tin salvage to provide for collection and shipment. After preliminary investigation of various angles of the problem, Blackburn's committee, which includes Aldermen Kennedy and Holmes, was called to meet last night to formulate definite plans. City-Wide Collection Present with the committee were Mayor Struif, Sanitation Officer Gus Struif, and Clarence Denby, manager of Alton General Hauling Co. Mayor Slruif reported that on a recent visit here a representative of the WPB made a number of suggestions, one that, on the monthly day set for city-wide collections, householders place their cans at the curbs in front of their homes in containers thai can be easily dumped into trucks.

The WPB expects a good psychological effect from making it a duly of householders to place their prepared cans at the curb. It also will speed the collection job. Struif also explained that although the city collects only from residences, it becomes its duty under the WPB orders 'to make the can collection city-wide, embracing restaurants, business places, and institutions of all sorts. Denby showed that the city- wide collection would greatly en- Seek Shipyard Worker in Death Of Pretty Blonde PALO ALTO, Nov. 2-1, shipyard worker named Frank was sought loday -for questioning in the brutal killing of 27-year- old Bernice Curtis, whose body was found in a field near Stanford yesterday.

Miss Elsa Martin of San Francisco, with whom Miss Curtis had been rooming the past three weeks, told police that the attractive blonde from Chicago had a date Sunday night with a shipyard worker named Frank, but she could furnish no other identification. Police, also pursued slim clues ill a man's footprints and tire tracks on a dirt road alongside the spot, where the body was found. Miss Curtis evidently had been driven there in a light car, they said, and was slain with a large rock which crushed her skull. The body was thrown over a fence into a ploughed field. There was no indication she had been raped, nor was there any other clue as to the motive.

A large diamond engagement ring sparkled on her left hand, which was clenched tightly. Several fingers were broken. Reds Threaten Encirclement Of Nazi Force Allies and A i Demand BattleViolentlyj U.

Plane Struggle Seen as Prelude to Ground Assault Tripoli Bombed British Eighth Army Is 100 Miles South of Bengasi. BULLETIN LONDON, Nov. 21, Vichy radio said large formations of German and Italian troops landed today at the eastern Tunisian ports of Sfax and Gabes. The ports arc key points along the costal rond between Tunis and Tripoli where Axis infiltrations against French resistance have been reported as the Germans sought to force a link between tlicir northern Tunisian foothold and Libya.

Gahes is midway between Tunis and Tripoli and Sfax is some Co miles farther north. By ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON, Nov. 21 UP) A violently erupting struggle for air supremacy was fought over Tunisia and along the Axis Mediterranean shuttle route today-while British and American forces on the ground were getting for the assault upon Tunis and Bizerte, once the enemy is driven from the North African skies. There was every sign that the aerial conflict would be a hard one, for great fleets of German planes were gathering in the Mediterranean theater and Axis reinforcements still were reaching Tunisia through the Allied gauntlet, "11.. "The fight is going to be tough and longer than might be expected," said a spokesman ai Allied headquarters in North Africa.

Bearing him out were reports from both sides telling of the mounting fury of the struggle. The British Middle East Command announced at Cairo that at least three more large enemy planes, which may have been troop transports, were sent plunging into the sea yesterday off the Tunisian coast. Broadcasting what it called an Allied communique, the Morocco radio said Allied air activity had grown "very intense" and that another violent bombing raid had been made on Tripoli, in Libya.

Bombers Hit St. Base WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, Cancellation of the Maritime Commission's contract with the South Portland (Me.) Shipyard was dei manded today by the House merchant marine committee in a formal report which described the yard's record as "the worst of any company engaged in the lion of Liberty ships." Reporting on months of investigation, the committee said "Ihe inevitable conclusion is that South Portland Ship is receiving a fee for the trouble of incorporating a company, choosing a name for that company, holding an occasional directors' meeting and delegating the performance of its contract duties." The question presented, the committee report said, "is whether or not the performance by South Portland Shipyard has been such as to warrant the payment of fees of not less than $5,040,000. "To summarize the relevant facts in the light of which an answer to this, question must be framed. South Portland Ship contributed substantially nothing to tha performance of Ihe facilities contract other than the layout of the yard, and the layout is bad." Demanding cancellation of the contract, the committee said it was "clear that to continue in force the existing contract would be to throw away millions of dollars needlessly." Reporting that the Maritime Commission had demurred at the suggestion that the contract be cancelled on the grounds that there was "bad management in other yards also," the committee said it was "unable to subscribe to the principle that South Portland Ship should be paid 55,000,000 for its incompetence, inefficiency and obvious inability to perform its contract duties solely because other yards furnish examples of bad management."

24 -Secretary of the Navy Knox said 'today it'was "very unlikely" that Ihe Japanese were getting reinforcements to their troops opposing American forces on Guadalcanal in tlie Solomon Islands. "It Is possible but not probable," Knox told a press conference, "because rigid United Slates patrols are working day and night." The Japanese have not been reported landing more troops on the embattled island since their great and unsuccessful drive almost two weeks ago In land huge forces and overwhelm the American defenders of the airfield there.

Three men who became American citizens in name only were sentenced to death today for treason. Their wives, convicted with them, were each fined $10,000 and sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment.

Federal Judge William J. Campbell called them "pawns of Hitler," and in fixing their punishment he said, "this is a war of people against people as well as cannon against cannon. To endanger the home front, therefore, is as treasonable as the act of spiking our guns in the face of the enemy." The white-faced defendants, who heard their sentences with barely a quiver of emotion, were proved to have aided and comforted IJer- bert Hans Haupt, one of the six Nazi saboteurs executed in Washington Aug. 8. They were young Haupt's parents, Hans and Erna Haupt; his uncle and aunt, Walter and Lucille Frochling; and two friends of the family, Otto and Kate Wergin.

"Counsel has urged mercy for the prisoners before the bar, particularly in the cases of the three women as mothers," Judge Campbell said as he soberly read his 1200-word statement. "There are no priorities on mercy. Like justice, It is the common hope of all. Flea Rejected "In weighing the mercy pleas for the women here involved it also has been incumbent on the court to consider the millions of suffering mothers of the boys who are fighting this war for us. And the mothers who must toil in aluminum and powder plants or on production lines in constant danger from who had equal rights to consideration with the prisoners here.

"These defendants by their acts have thus forfeited any right to consideration as mothers." The convicted men and women listened with their eyes glued on the judge's face. They heard the men sentenced to be electrocuted Jan. 22. They heard the women condemned to spend most of the rest of their lives in prisons. And then they leaned back in their chairs.

Wergin leaned across the Iwo chairs that separated him from his wife, picked up her hand, kissed it and laid It back in her lap. It was the second treason conviction in 148 years of American lilstory. On Aug. 6, Max Stephan was convicted at Detroit, and sentenced to be hanged for aiding flight of a Nazi saboteur who escaped from a Canadian concentration camp.
