CHICAGO, May 20.-A gun fight
in which three men were shot and
two milk trucks damaged introduced
Chicago's milk strike to Northern
Illinois early today.
The fighting broke out near Volo,
ILL.,, where State Policeman Paul
Sans said 500 pickets had gathered
to halt milk shipped from Wisconsin.
About 100 pickets stopped two
Meadowmoor Dairy trucks, Police
man Sans reported, dumped the
milk, shot holes in the windows Of
the cabs, ripped out ignition wires,
smashed carburetors and poured
dirt in the gasoline tanks.
Policeman Sans and fellow
ofiicer, the only policemen on the
scene, said they were forced to look
on as the violence grew. The police
officers said they exchanged shots.
however, with several carloads of
men which were conveying the milk
trucks.
The convoy was armed with piS-
tolls, sawed of shotguns and ma
chine guns, Policeman Sans said.
He described them as Chicago
hoodlums" They forced the police
car of the road and side-swiped an
automobile containing four persons.
About an hour later near the same
place pickets halted and overturned
four more trucks. Embalming fluid
was dumped in some of the milk,
Policeman Sans said.
A force of 100 State policemen was
ordered into the district to restore
order.

Bishop Cannon Urges
u. 5. 10 Enter War
Against Hitler
Sees Nation Tokine
Orders From Axis
If Germany Wins
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, May 20.-Bishop
James Cannon, jr., of the Methodist
Church made public here yesterday
an open letter to Secretary of State
Hull urging that he use his great
influence with the President and
Congress to declare war against
Hitler and his fellow monsters"
Declaring that some things were
more precious than peace and that
there could be no permanent peace
unless and until justice and right
eousness prevail" Bishop Cannon
asserted defense of the oppressed
and of human rights was sometimes
both necessary and Christian.
If the United States would today
repeal the cowardly Neutrality Act
and would today declare war against
Germany because of the restriction
OF our rights by her barbarious SUBJ
marine warfare, there would in
stantly be great change in the at
titude Of the nations of the world"
he said. Instead of fear there
would be hope, and I believe that
there would be no menace that the
sWord-rattling Mussolini would en-
ter the war.
If Hitler does win the war against
the allies, and the British and
French fleets are either captured or
destroyed, not only will the front
line of defense of the United States
be lost, but Hitler would obtain con-
troll OF Bermuda, Jamaica, Trinidad,
the French islands of the West
Indies. British, French and Dutch
Guiana (unless we went to war with
him to prevent it,, and thus by air
force and submarines impose upon
the United tSates his own regula-
tlons as to all our commerce. trade
and international relations. and in
combination with Russia, Japan and
Italy compel the United States to
comply with all their demands"

its path. In an effort to avoid
striking him the driver ran off the
road. His car was wrecked and
he was injured.
Investigation disclosed that the
pedestrian in this instance was a
strong-minded individual who be-
lieved in sticking up for his rights.
He had heard somewhere that Pc
destrians have superior rights on
the highway, and he made a prac-
tice of walking in front of cars
and shouting abuse at drivers. The
case was carried all the way to
the Supreme Court, which ruled
that the pedestrians conduct was
unjustifable. A judgment Of
$1,150 against him was affirmed.

way guns and motor-drawn guns
and howitzers. However, in the
anti-aircraft units of the Coast
Artillery one will see more new
developments in applied science
than in almost any part of the
arming.
The anti-aircraft regiments are
fast moving, motorized organiza-
tons employing 3-inch guns de-
signed to detect and hit hostile
planes. The guns fire 13-pound
shell that is said to be effective
up to an altitude of four miles.
Anti-aircraft units also employ
powerful searchlights of about
SOO,OOO,000 candlepower to illumi-
nate targets at night.
Each anti-aircraft battery also
has a director or so-called "me-
chanical brain" This complicated
instrument when pointed at tar
get automatically indicates correct
data for the guns and transmits
it to dials on each gun. The oper-
alton of almost all the weapons
and equipment Of Coast Artillery
Corps require good eye, steady
nerves and variety of technical
skills; most Of which have an
exact counterpart in civil life.
Others peculiar to the army must
be developed by the various spe-
cialists' schools maintained by the
army.
Young men mechanically and
technically inclined should explore
this field of opportunity. Inquire
at the nearest recruiting station.

Worm Turns AS
Pedestrian Pays
Accident Damages
Tennessean Who Walked In
Front Of Car Takes Case
To Highest Court But Loses

"The worm turned" down in
Tennessee recently, the Keystone
Automobile Club reports, and a
pedestrian who was the real cause
of an automobile accident was held
responsible by the Supreme Court
and ordered to pay damages to an
injured motorist.
The official publication of the
club, gives details in an article
which says:
Everyone knows, that the law
will enforce the pedestrians right
to courtesy and care from the mo-
torist. What some persons do not
seem to realize is that the pedes.
trian owes the same duty of cour-
tesy and care to the motorist, and
that the courts will impose the
same penalties upon careless and
inconsiderate pedestrians as upon
the same kind of automobile
drivers"
Circumstances of the case are
related as follows: A motorist
was proceeding along a highway
with his car under control. He
observed man standing alongside
parked car talking to the occu-
pants. There was plenty of room
to pass in safety, and it was OBJ
vious the pedestrian was aware of
the cars approach. When the
automobile was only a short dis
lance away, the pedestrian strobe

Since first it had its maiden trip;

And, may the grace of Heaven be with
