terlee acknowledged today that her Flynn with rape, at one time was 1 R C A F flier.

She added that "they were not evi -tly engaged.*'

The mother. Mrs. Florence Sat­terlee identified the flier as Capt. Owen Catheart - Jones. veteran RCAF aviator and technical adviser on movie flying films.

(Peggy herself, chief complain­ing witness in Flynn's trial on three counts of s ta tutory rape, testified previously that she lived With her sister, Mickey June, in the captain's apar tment when he was out of town.)

also drew these admissions from Mrs. Satterlee:

Sh^ knew the captain had bought Peggy clothes.

She knew Peggy had given her age as 21 when she obtained a job at a Sunset Strip supper club, when actually she was fifteen, and had given her age as eighteen when she went to work as a night club showgirl a few months later.

She insisted, however, tha t Peg­gy was born in 1926 and would not be seventeen until February Tth.

She corroborated Peggy's testi­mony tha t a weekend aboard Flynn's yacht left the lat ter shaken and upset. Peggy charged tha t it was because of intimacies with the actor. Sister Testifies

Mrs. Satterlee was followed to the s tand by her other daughter, Mickey June, eighteen, divorced from Eddie Norris, actor who for­merly was married to Ann Sheri­dan.

She, too. told how Peggy seemed overwrought when she returned from the yacht tr ip. Her direct

examination was brief, but on cross examination Giesler asked her whether she knew Catheart-Jones. When she said she had known him "a year, off and on," the attorney asked:

"While your parents were away, was Mr. Catheart-Jones a visitor at your home?" "Yes," she answer­ed, "once or twice a week."

Subsequent testimony brought out that the captain had, on a few occasions, loaned the girls- money and that he bought Peggy a dress, some slacks and shoes, Peggy Testifies Again

She also acknowledged that Peg­gy generally gave her age as eighteen, sometimes 21. but never —to her knowledge as fifteen.

Another a t t empt by Giesler to learn whether Mrs. Satterlee had bought Peggy a new wardrobe in Santa Barbara two days after the yacht tjrip—was met with state objections. A similar question to Peggy was objected to, success­fully.

Peggy herself also took the s tand for the third day.

She put a date—July or August of last year on an operation whic h she said was performed, and*which the statje stipulated was an illegal one. The time was nearly a year after she says Flynn, romantic movie adventurer, twice seduced her aboard his yacht. But a prosecution effort to establish the elapsed time between the two events brought quick objection from Defense Attorney Giesler. Judge Leslie E. Still upheld him.

Peggy's mother, whose daughter closely resembles her, was next on the stand. She testified that Peggy

Marines Turn Guadalcanal Over to Armv

Patch Gets Command; Succeeds \ andegrift

Washington, Jan. 21 (UP)—U. S. Marines who invaded the Solomons last August and carried on alone during the first two trying months of the campaign now have turned over to Army troops the task of delivering the knockout blow against the Japs on Guadalcanal, the Navy revealed officially today.

This does not mean the Japs have seen the last of them.

The gallant Leathernecks, who wrote a brilliant chapter in history by carrying out the first American offensive of the war, have been withdrawn for a well-earned rest before they spearhead some future offensive. Patch Gets Command

Command of the forces on Gua­dalcanal now has passed from a Marine—Maj. Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrift, who led the original invasion—to a fighting member of a fighting Army family- Maj. Gen. Alexander M. (Sandy) Patch.

Under Vandegrift, the Marines j captured the Japanese airfield on Guadalcanal, named it Henderson Field and developed it into a pow­erful offensive base. They seized Tulagi and its great natural harbor. They captured footholds on four other Southern Solomon islands.

Then, for weeks they fojfcrht a life-and-death struggle against | savage enemy counter thrusts . At times, it appeared the Japs might and once they all but recaptured the airfield. But the Marines did not yield. Finally, on November 1st, they launched an offensive which extended the American p o s ^ tions and the Japs since have been on the defensive.

From early October—when the first contingent of Army troops was revealed to have landed—the American soldiers played an in­creasing role in the fighting. They fought shoulder to shoulder with the now veteran Marines, learning all the tricks of jungle fighting. As more Army men moved in, more Marines were relieved until finally

in recent weeks—the Army took over.

Patch, like Vandegrift, got off to an auspicious s tar t . His soldiers launched the recent offensive which resulted in capture of Mt. Austen, an 1,800-foot ridge domi­nating Henderson Field, and slaughtered upwards of 1,000 Japs.

Undersecretary of War Robert P. Pattjerson, who also announced that P i t c h had taken over, said the American position had been improved but he predicted the Japs would try again to land reinforce­ments.

Patch will be under command of Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr., supreme commander of the South Pacific war theater. Under this arrangement, it was assumed the Navy would continue to be the source of news from Guadalcanal.
