Molly and Jack D. Wrather,
Jr., %, who helps run his IA;
theirs oil refinery near Tyler,
Tex, drove to Coushatta, La,
and took out a wedding license
yesterday.
Then they disappeared, 50 far
as the governor and Wrather's
parents were concerned.
Mrs. O'Daniel couldn't be-
lieve they had gone off and got
married, because Molly had
planned on q big wedding at the
mansion.
In Tyler Mrs. Wrather anx-

phoned her during the after
noon, she said, saying he and
Molly were going on . weekend

S. Gunsight
Gets Final

OCAMP FORREST, TENN,
July 12-R-A new am
azingly accurate artillery gun
sight that can be manufactured
wholesale for IS will be sub
jected to q final test next week
by the army, which may adopt 1t
in place of an instrument cost

Already given unanimous ap-
prevail by officers who witnessed

sight will be taken to the
artillery proving ground at

Long Planned
Expansion

Increases Prompt
New Stots Move

"a long-needed additional State
Police post in Macomb county
appeared in the immediate Of
fling today with the announce
ment that officials had been CIV
en- the "go-ahead" signal from
East Lansing.
Sergt. Leslie Maycock, tenn
porary chief of the Detroit dis
trict of the State Police, told The
Daily Monitor this morning that
he was planning an immediate
survey" of South Macomb coun-
ty in an attempt to find the best
site" for new police post.
Sergt. Maycock said that the
new base will probably be loca-
ted somewhere between 10 and
IL Mile roads, but added that
a temporary site may be chosen
in Van Dyke pending the erec-
ton of . building to house the
troopers.
RUT ONE POST
The only other State Police
post in Macomb county Is loca-
ted at Romeo.
The pressing need of another
State Police post in the county
was first publicized by The Mel
lis Newspapers as far back ~
1885.
Although officials at East
Lansing readily admitted the
need for such an addition, no &C
ton had been taken.
Sergt. Maycock said that be-
tween five or 10 troopers would
be stationed at the new post,
and would devote most of their
efforts to the highway situation
in the south end of the county.
South Macomb police agencies
have been handicapped by lack
of manpower, 1t was said, and
can no longer cope with the
heavy traffic.
SURVEY TO BEGIN
Maycock said that the hunt
for the proper site will COM
mence Monday.
The sergeant took over the
duties of Capt. Don S. Leonard,
who has been assigned to Lon
don, England, to study wartime
police work for the United States
Civilian Defense Administration.

TWO MASS. PLANTS
 ARE STILL IDLE

Boston, July 25-(UP)-Nearly l.. 455 persons working on national defense orders in two plants re. mained idle today as settlement of a third strike was reported.
 At the Converse Rubber Go. in Maiden, 1900 members of the Rub. Der Workers Federal Labor union GA. F. of L) demanded a closed shop contract and a 20-ceflt-an. hour wage increase. The strike halt. ed production on about $20O,O worth of overshoe defense con- tracts.
 At North Adams, about 45 non. union shuttle tenders at the Grey. lock mills of the Berkshire Fins Spinning Associates, Inc, demand. ed increased wages and shorter hours because they contend certain national defense cloth contracts required added work. The strikers, all girls, now get Si6.75 for a 40. hour work week. Their walkoui brought enforced idleness of about 2l0 loom fixers and weavers.
 The four-day strike of about 100 moulders at the Commonwealth Plastic co. was ended with an an. nouncement by the management that they would not grant the closed shoD demand made by the Workers Council, an independent union. The protest strike was called Sunday by the United Paper Nov- city and Toy Workers 1nterna. tional union (CIO).

nation and the dangers we face have allowed us to bog down in our effort to acquire sufficient reserves of essential raw materials.
 Lack of Appreciation
 The same lack or appreciation on the part of the public has led to a reluctance on the part of manufac- turers to brave the red tape and ir- ritations CT government business and reluctance on the part of la- Dor organizations to forego the right to stop work as weapon against the employer to settle an argument over wages, working con- ditions or organization.
 If any of these men, in govern ment, industry, or labor had ex- perienced what our young men have in every war this nation has ever engaged in-what many of you have experienced-the sight of needless suffering and death of untrained and tll-equipped men as a direct re- suit of lack of preparedness, no one can doubt that we would have their complete cooperation.
 Many of them have not had your experiences. They will not realize that this modern world we live in is divided into compartments of days" Many of our men, in and out of the War and Navy Departments, have contributed to 8 remarkable progress in the last year. But we cannot afford to be satisfied with the progress already made. So far we have been able to buy time, as we did with our old surplus wea- pons after Dunkerk and with a large part of our meager war plane production in later months.
 Trial Wasted!
 We have wasted part of that time we bought. How much is left to us no man can tell. Russia may hold back the Nazi engine of destruction for some part of that time, but if and when the Red Army is des- troyed as 8 serious threat to Hitler, our own danger and that of our neighbors to the South has been multiplied and our time for pre- paredness is foreshortened.
 Then the question will be, not how many untrained or partly trained individuals are there in the service; not how many planes or tanks or guns or how much am- munition is promised for next year; the question will be: What effective defense forces have we been able to train and equip by the day the need for them comes, if come 1t should.
 I salute you for your efforts over the years to spread the gospel of preparedness. I ask you not to let the apparent and in many cases real progress already made, blind our people to the nature, extent and memorable approach of the dan gers against which we seek to pre- pare. We cannot afford laxity, de- lay, indifference or self1shness in the preparations for defense in this hour of approaching crisis
