Makes History
Massachusetts,
Launched Today

oQUINCY, Mass, Sept. %
R-Secretary of the Navy
Frank Knox today watched the
huge 35,O00-ton battleship Mas
sachusetts slide Town the ways
of the Foe River Ship Yards and
then declared to a crowd of
thousands of people attending
the launching that the neutrali-
ty act was "crippling" the eff
forts of this country and should
be Immediately repealed.
There should be no handicap
on those who are trying to keep
war away from these shores"
the navy secretary shouted into
q loudspeaker system that car
ried his words throughout the
vast shipbuilding yards.
I'VE must waste no time In
repeating the Neutrality Act"
The mighty Massachusetts, was
launched without a slip-up.
The keel of a new cruiser, the
u. S. S. Flint, was laid on the
spot just vacated by the Massa,
chusetts before the bow of tho
battleship had entered the wat
err.
Knox asserted that recent
events on the Russian front had
made "the prospect of victory
dim"
He did not elaborate on this,
except to say that the casual
ties in Russia were greater than
in any other conflict in history,
and that the fighting In Russia
had "a direct bearing on our
own situation"

for increased production by the

tending the life Of the Com

der the terms of that act, when
ever the Secretary of Agri-
culture finds it necessary dur
ing the existing emergency to
encourage the expansion of pro-
duction of any non-basic agri-

ment of Agriculture is required,
within the limit of the funds

commodities are those other

ANick Kobane will visit Self

of Col. Morton L. McKennon,
commandant at the post, some
time during the next week. Nick
will sit in the fastest fighting
ships on earth, he will get an
Inside view" of the workings
of the air corps. And it will be
topped off by luncheon at the
Officers Club, treat that few
civilians ever receive. -
Nick is the young fellow who
was struck down, by mistake,
three years ago by policeman's
bullet in Detroit. Mistaken for
a prowler where he was employ
ed, and, shot by a police office,
he has been paralyzed from the
waist down ever since.
These past three years Nick
has spent in Receiving Hospital,
where he is dubbed Doctor of
Happiness because he spends his
days trying to answe one ques-
ton, How can a person spread
happiness?"
Speaking with a reporter yes
terday Nick said,
II made up my mind that !
had two roads to follow. One is
the neutrality-suspicious. atti-
tude, or what's the use of trying,
and the other is the philosophy
/ chose, simply, let's just make
the best of things and never give
up. There's a lot of those silver
Innings"
This morning Col. McKennon
personally invited Nick to come
to Selfridge. If other facilities
are lacking, he will ride in a
Post car. Although he doesn't
know it yet, Nick is to be king
for a day.

Gusiaison Case
Reaches Jury
Shores Youths
Trial Ends

A Detroit recorders court jury
of seven women and five men
began celebrating today on the
fate of 19-year-old Harold Gus
tafson, formerly Of st. Clair
Shores, who was charged with
the shotgun Staying Of Mrs. Mary
Devereaux during a quarrel on
March 26.
Assistant Prosecutor Frank 8.
Valenti declared yesterday In
closing arguments to the jury
that the distance from which
the two shotgun blasts were
fired proved "conclusively that
the Staying was not an accident"
Edward A. Jacob, of Romeo,
defense attorney, argued that
the shooting occurred while Gus
tafson and Mrs. Devereaux were
struggling for the weapon. The
woman's four-year-old daugh-
ter, Patricia Ann, was the only
witness to the shooting.

OCharles v. Titus, Chief Of the
Utilities Services of CIVILIAN
DEFENSE states, It Is pleasing
to me and should be comforting
to all to know that there il
available Y force of highly skill
ed employees within each Or
ganization serving the public,
whether it be electric, gas, tele-
phone or telegraph and that this
well trained personnel ant, d.
recting supervision within these
organizations will be found
ready to maintain their various
services and restore any inter-
ruption thereto. Out Of the
vagaries of weather, storms, in
tense and otherwise and extreme
cold weather, fires, floods and
pole climbing motorists has come
an experience and training,
which the community has and
can rely on, to apply in any
emergency.
These servants of the public
fully realize their responsibility
and are ready NOW to meet the
demands of CIVILIAN DE-
TENSE.
Within the scope of Utilities,
in CIVILIAN DEFENSE, calling
for the maintenance OF commu-
nication, there will be need for
messenger service, vehicular,
motorcycle, bicycle and afoot, to
provide written dispatch service
between all units.
Transportation facilities under
CIVILIAN DEFENSE is a very
important service, requiring the
registration of all means of
transportation, passenger cars,
buses and trucks. In this SER
vice the women, clever and care
full drivers, may find an inter-
esting and important role.
Radio amateurs will find
plenty OF opportunity to exer-
else their well known ingenuity
in providing a radio network,
mobile and fixed, to carry on
communications % isolated Sec
tons or to take over, in event
of failure of regular channels.
They too have and I know will
serve.
Anyone feeling that they can
assist in the utilities part of CIV
ILIAN DEFENSE should so in
dictate on their enrolment
blanks.
In any capacity, should you
feel that you may be of some
help-ENROLL. The DEFENSE
COUNCIL will assist you in de-
termining wherein you can be
of the greatest nelp. You can
help, but please understand this,
we intend to TRAIN as well as
talk in CIVILIAN DEFENSE"

necessary by increased business
demands.
The so-called Oakland PLAN,
under which the County en-
ployes would be classified as to
length of service and experience,
"a plan which has caused much
comment among the Supervisors
and employees during the past
month-may be discussed ex-
tensively during the budget
hearings, it was indicated this
morning.
Possibility that the Budget
Committee may adopt the system
with some notifications was
held to be likely, due to the
favorable reports coming from
Oakland county where the plan
is in operation.
If the system were to be adopt
ed, its general features would
provide starting pay for employ
es, with provisions for regular
salary increases, in accordance
with ability.

Prices
CONTINUED From Page II

the stage of House debate for
several weeks.
The Administration measure
would not apply to wages and
would provide that no ceiling for
farm prices could be set at less
than 40 per cent of the parity
level. (Parity is the income
which would preserve the 1909
1914 relationship between farm
and industrial prices).
SET FREE" DATE
Baruch said that the Congress
should 60 Gas far back as you
think you can get away with" in
selecting the date for freezing
prices. When pressed for spe-
cific date, he suggested last Jan.
LIST.
Henderson said that he and
his associates had spent at least
IS months debating whether to
recommend the universal ceiling
method but finally decided on
the "selective ceiling" plan en-
bodied in the Administrations
bill.
Henderson told reporters that
one of the first results of deci-
sion by the committee to consid-
er Cores plan would be the ne
cessity for "a completely new
set of hearings" because all ele-
ments of business and industry
would Immediately clamor to be
heard on the question of the
freezing date.
Asked by Rep. Kunkel (R-Pa.)
whether it would not be impos-
sible to freeze prices retroact-
Nely, Henderson replied with a
grin:
1T would not be impossible,
but it would certainly make
quite a lot of uproar."
