A 49-year-old fancy figure skater who dazzed spectators with his figure-eights at the rink on the old World's Fair grounds will serve an eight-year sentence in Federal prison on a counterfeiting charge. Treasury agents arrested Edward Wellman two weeks ago at the Flushing Meadow rink after tracking him from Florida, where he had jumped bail on a six-count counterfieting indictment in 1941. In a search of Wellman's Manhattan apartment agents found over 900 counterfeit half-dollar coins. U. S. Attorney Martin Klein described Wellman yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court as "the cleverest coin counterfeiter in the United States."

Marshal Henri Petain, apparently resigned to full Axis domination of France today ordered Admiral Jean Darlan, now in Algiers, to "defend North Africa from American aggression." Reports over the Vichy radio stated that it was Darlan who ordered the "capitulation of French North African forces to the Americans," and asserted that the Admiral has been cooperating with the American command since that capitulation took place. The broadcast report stated that Petain wired Admiral Darlan reprimanding him for "violation of my orders," and commanded that he take no action "in defiance of the Axis forces and not to add to the misfortunes of the Fatherland."

The production of newsprint paper in the United States was down by more than 50,000 tons during the month of October over the same month in 1941, with output for the first ten months of 1942 down by about 5 and a half percent over 1941 levels. Both US and Canadian paper mills shipped out more newsprint than they produced during October, indicating something must soon be done to reduce demand if there are not to be paper shortages in 1943.

"Now just a minute!" sputters Gypsy. "SHE gets a picture and *I* don't?" "But our chorus girls," harumphs Bobby Clark, wagging his cane and popping his eyes. "Shut up, pipsqueak," growls Gypsy. "WHERE'S MY PRESS AGENT!"

Erasmus Hall High School overcame the major obstacle on its path to a second consecutive schoolboy football season on Saturday, defeating Boys High 12-6. The Buff and Blue have now chalked up six wins in the 1942 season, making a total 12 straight victories over the past two campaigns. Erasmus must now beat Tilden High -- which has yet to win a game this year -- in order to achieve the two-year unbeaten milestone. Meanwhile, the State Board of Regents is to consider a proposed post-season game between Erasmus and Abraham Lincoln High, which has, itself, just concluded its second unbeaten season. With the Government having encouraged extended high school athletic seasons as a way to encourage physical fitness for the war effort, approval is still needed from the Public School Athletic League to schedule any additional games beyond the regular season.

A Carroll Gardens detective today pleaded in court on behalf of a 25-year-old peddler whom he arrested on charges of robbery and violation of the Sullivan Law. Detective William Fruin of the Butler Street Station urged Magistrate Nicholas Pinto in Brooklyn Felony Court to help Francis Reilly of 324 Prospect Avenue who was arraigned today for attempting to rob a butcher shop at 76 Nevins Street with what turned out to be a toy pistol. A note found in Reilly's pocket addressed to his wife pleaded for her forgiveness, noting that the family faced eviction from its home with a third child on the way. After hearing Detective Fruin's statement on behalf of the defendant, Magistrate Pinto appointed prominent attorney Leo Healy as Reilly's defense, and summoned a representative of the Home Relief Bureau to confer with a prospective employer for the accused man about what might be done to ease the family's burden. The result was a pledge that Home Relief will provide immediate aid for the Reilly family, and that as soon as Reilly himself is free, he will be given employment at a good wage. Bail was fixed at $500 on the robbery charge, and Reilly was paroled into Healy's custody on the gun charge. Mr. Healy indicated that if Reilly cannot secure the aid of a bail bondsman, he will post the bail himself.

In White Plains, the 17-year-old boy convicted in the murder of two young girls sneered and smirked at the judge today as he was sentenced to die in the electric chair. Edward Haight of Stanford, Connecticut was convicted on November 6th in the brutal slayings of 7-year-old Margaret Lynch and her 8-year-old sister Helen, of Bedford Village N. Y. on September 14th. The court found Haight to have been sane when he kidnapped, tortured, and killed the two children. Judge Frank H. Coyne sentenced the youth to be electrocuted at Sing Sing Prison the week of December 27th.
