Bottom of Page 6: “Chaplin, Hurt, Is In Hospital”

Charles Chaplin is in Cedars of Lebanon Hospital with ankle cuts which, police said, he received when he kicked in a glass door of his home last night after he had misplaced his keys. Dr. N.E. Gourson (?) reported that some ankle muscles were cut and that the film comedian might be in the hospital for three days and could not use his left foot for two weeks. A recess in the paternity suit by Joan Barry against Mr. Chaplin ends Tuesday.

1. Does the Times give its writers prizes for writing stories with the fewest punctuation marks? “Two paragraphs - and you get three periods, one comma, and one semicolon!”

2. Why were the police involved, and did they “act stupidly”?

91 year old vet couple days ago here reveals for the first time that he was working on ‘Patton`s secret weapon” project used for the first time in the Battle of Bastogne- The Proximity Fuse for artillery shells... even tho he still refuses to tell us to this day that it was the proximity fuse project, but just “Patton`s secret weapon”

Artillery was critical to the victory at Elsenborn Ridge. Here, the empty shell casings are piled as high as the muzzle.
