Capture Hill 362 The score of enemy opposition on the right flank was wiped out Wed- nesday by the Third Marine Division's capture of another hill 362. This one, the third of that height to be seized, is east of the town of Moto- yama. Below this position the Fourth Ma- rine Division picked up 100 to 200 yards in its northward drive which is clearing the coastline. Advances of about 500 yards were scored Wednesday in the center of the line by the Third Division and on the leftyby the Fifth Marine Divi- sion. The gains were made in the face of intense-small arms and ma- chinegun fire. Enemy Suicide Charge A. P. war correspondent Morrie Landsberg reported that a tank bat- talion fighting with the Third Divi- sion repelled a suicidal charge made against armored vehicles by Japanese carrying long poles on which explo- sives were mounted. Not a single tank was damaged but many enemy soldiers were killed. Vice-Adm. Richard K. Turner, over- all amphibious commander, visited the Volcanic Island Thursday, in- spected its shattered defenses, took note of its possibilities and chatted with Marine commanders. Japs Well Organized Iwo's defenses were "tremendously better organized" than on any other island taken from the Japanese, Ad- miral Turner said. As to Iwo's place in future cam- paigns against the enemy, Turner said: "Iwo is going to be a very valu- able place for us. I am favorably impressed with the island as an air- base. It is better than I expected it to be." Ava Case To Pla*...

Invention of TU' Surgeon Will- Aid* AilingGI's Capt. Frederick D. Trautman, for- mer member of the surgery staff at University hospital now at a hospi- tal base in England has devised a new type of splint using bicycle spokes which is speeding the recovery of fingers, hands and forearms of Amer- ican soldiers wounded in the Euro- pean theater of action, according to an Associated Press report. The new splint permits the patient to regain the use of his fingers and hands at the same time outer wounds are healing. Previously, after wounds had been healed many months of highly specialized physiotherapy had been required before the use of a stiffened hand could be regained. Capt. Trautman, who serves as chief of orthopedic surgery at an army general hospital, incorporates the bicycle spokes in a forearm cast to extend over the fingers and thumb to act as offsets to the cast. Loops' of adhesive tape and rubber for the fingers allows motion of the hands.

Under cross examination by spe- cial Prosecutor Kim Sigler, Good- heart testified he had attended in 1939 a money-raising meeting of the American Naturopathic Associ- ation of Michigan, of which Sher- man then was president. "Sherman presided and said the meeting was to raise money for the legislative campaign and support a lobbyist," Goodheart said. "I under- stood they were paying legislators, because I knew it was a common practice to pay them." He told Sigler that "the lobbyist was to get the bill through the legis- lature and it was up to him to figure out how." Goodheart said on direct examination that he contributed $100 to the legislative campaign fund. The defendants are accused of participating in a 1939 conspiracy to exchange bribes when the natu- ropaths unsuccessfully attempted to have a bill regulating the prac- tice of naturopathy passed by the legislature.
