DFC SHOT DOWN NAZIS' PRIDE

A 25-YEARS-OLD British pilot shot down Major Helmuth Wieck, Goering's No. 1 fighter ace, off the Isle of Wight. This was revealed by the Air Ministry in a statement clearing up the five-months-old mystery of Wieck's fate.

His victor was Flight-Lieut.

Pulitzer Awards Honour Artistry and Reforms

Robert E. Sherwood became a three-time winner, Westbrook Pegler received recognition for his hard-hitting columns against labour racketeering, and the "New York Times" won a special citation in the annual list of Pulitzer awards made public at Columbia University last month...

Mr Sherwood's heroic play, "There Shall Be No Night,' won the annual Pulitzer drama prize even as had his earlier "Idiol's Delight," "Abe Lincoln in Illinois," and "Tovarich." Mr Pegler, vigorous, sometimes bitter, Scripps-Howard colum- nist, received the $1,000 reporter's award for his series on scandals in the ranks of organized labour which led to the ex- posure and conviction of George Scalige.
