Letters TO the Editor

Dear Sir:
During large number OF
years a vice resort has operated
in the vicinity of my home. That
is until Mr.. Theut became Sher-
if of Macomb County.
He has closed down the place,
and it stayed closed down. In
other years it was raided, but it
always opened up again.
They used to come to my door
and poster me about as to where
the place was. They would drive
up and down my driveway at all
hours of the night.
haven't been bothered by
them for many months now, and
l do not think that they shall
bother me again.
l have stopped taking the De-
troit paper which attacked Mr..
Theut because l don't believe
these attacks are just. That same
paper charged that he failed to
"act on complaints of citizens.
That is not true. I only had to
complain once and the place was
raided.
Thank you,
Mrs. A. B.

Chief Orders
More Vigilance
RosevilIe Police
Are Cautioned

OROSEVILLE-Increased vigil
ance in residential area patrols
was ordered today by Police
Chief Walter Kimmerley to cope
with breakings and enterings
which have shown a slight in
crease lately.
Chief Kimmerley said, how
ever, that the number of cases
reported in Roseville was rather
low in consideration of the fact
that a great number of homes
were unoccupied during vaca-
ton and doors and windows
were being left open.
The latest case reported was
the theft of at least $40 from
the home of Burnise Phaxton at
27808 O'Neil avenue by a thief
who entered the home while
the occupants were asleep.
The theft was reported early
Tuesday morning when it was
discovered by Phaxton as he
arose in the morning. No mem
Der of the household was dis
turbed during the night by the
thief who entered through an
open door.

$4,000 to $4,000 yearly in
township taxes which under
Village government would have
been paid without any return.
Center Line became a City
by popular vote in 1896 and in
the Ave years has not added one
municipal employee to the staff
that operated the Village, nor
have expenses risen beyond
normal additions resulting from
development.
The success of Center Line has
led to requests from Wayne,
Mich, for information to guide
them in making similar
changeover.
At the time the proposal was
made to change to City govern
ment, it was shown that saw
ings of 1,O38.37 would be the
direct result for that year alone.
This figure has risen steadily
each year.
The city now has an evalua-
ton of $1,914,885 which would
be subject to the current Town
ship tax of $3.25 per $1,000 if
the section were a Village or
should return to this form Of
government, Steinhaus said.
He added that the City form
of government has also facilitat-
ed relations with the state and
County governments.
One of the original objections
that the City would be forced
to bear welfare costs has also
been proven groundless, he said,
since the County carries welfare
costs and a certain amount of
regular County taxes are alloca-
ted to that work. These taxes
would have to be paved under
Village government as well so
that no added cost has been in
Cured.
Center Line also does not
share in the cost of the Town
ship debt refunding which is
separate from the Township op-
Grating costs.

Dear Sir:
During the past three weeks
/ have stood idly by and
watched a metropolitan paper,
infamous for its unfair attacks
on Macomb county and it's Of
ficials, try and mislead our citi-
zens into believing we are civ
ing in den of wickedness" and
all our officials are standing to
one side without doing a thing.
Sheriff Jake Theut and other
county officers are doing their
jobs; they are doing much bet
ter than they have ever been
done before. Sure, there's some
vice in Macomb County, but we
don't need Detroit paper to
tell us that. If things get that
far out of hand, I'm quite posi-
tive our own papers will not
let it 60 unchecked.
Nearly all of the papers state
ments are foolish on the face of
things, but I think the dumbest
remark of all was that saying
that many sections of the coun-
ty," teen age girls are available
to customers at roadside stands"
Apparently the writer mistook
the mattresses, desire to please
the customer for something his
own evil mind thought up.
I've lived in Macomb county
all my life and I have never
seen a place like that, and I don't
think l ever will. Unless, of
course, the paper-in its desire
to increase its circulation -
plants a few around.
have always taken an avid
interest in police work and I
know this county much better
than any upstart Detroiter. Any
stupid remark by the paper was
the claim that Sheriff Theut
has not acted on complaints.
This I know to be untrue for I
have complained of q disorderly
house located in my neighbor-
hood, and Il was closed down
Immediately.
hope the citizens of Macomb
county will react IS they always
have reacted to outside interior
ence. We are not babies, and we
can run our own county.
Very sincerely.

paper from a neighboring town.

Dear Sir:


For the past few weeks The
Detroit Free Press has been con-
Quoting an unfair and uncalled
for campaign against Macomb
unity officials, especially
against Sheriff Jacob F. Theut.
I have been a resident of this
county for many years and l
have seen many sheriffs come
and 60. ! think that Mr.. Theut
is the best sheriff we ever had.
For a number of years a we'll
known vice resort operated free
ly within a few rods of my home.
1t became unbearable. My neigh
bors told me that it wo Id do no
good to ask the sheriff to step in
and stop 1t. They had tried for
years. But regardless / complain
ed to Sheriff Theut and imme-
diately the place was raided.
However, within a few days it
was open again and l again mott
fled Mr.. Theut. This time 1t stay
ed closed.
When I hear people, and es-
pecially a newspaper that has no
business in the county, saying
that he is not doing his job right
it makes me very angry.
l will always remember Mr..
Theut as he was the day / ask
ed him to close up the disorder
ly house" l told him that things
were unbearable. and he replied:
MRS. Lauhoff; if I can't make
this county decent for respect
able people, then don't want
the job as sheriff"
And he meant it. At least the
place is closed, and I'm sure it
will remain so.
think the people who believe
these silly stories about our sher-
iff should apologize, or at least
stop believing them.
Sincerely,
MRS. JOHN LAUHOFF,

WASHINGTON, July 15-(R
Fundamentally of War Rob-
ert p. Patterson told Senate
committee today that the last
year had brought "great pro-
cess" in American defense pro-
duction but "for total warfare
OF the kind raging in Europe
today we can never have
enough munitions.
Patterson submitted to the
Senate Defense Investigating
Committee a review OF the
Army's expansion work during
the fiscal year which ended
June 80.
II do not claim" he said,
"that America as yet is ade-
uuately armed or prepared, or
that we have become a thor
oughly stocked and sufficiently
productive arsenal for ourselves
and for the other democratic
nations as we'll. But we have
gone q good distance.
PROCEDURES RESULTS
Before long the work which
we have already done in plan
ming and ordering equipment
and in providing manufacturing
facilities will produce in ever
increasing measure the results
which we all desire"
Patterson forecast increasing

chinery as more and more of

tive endeavor is devoted to de-

expect to equal and surpass

Department.

der prior authorizations and ap-
preparations, and those being
made for the coming (this) fis-

effort placed upon industry.
This will mean fewer civilian

substitutes in non-defense pro-
ducts"
SUPERIOR OBJECTIVE
Object of the defense pro-
gram, Patterson testified, is to
provide an army organized and
equipped for modern warfare
superior in equipment to that
Of any other nation"
The present army, Patterson
said, consists of nearly $500, 900

lar divisions, one Of which is

. WASHINGTONS July lo-tA')
Gen. George Marshall, Chief
of Staff, was disclosed today to
have told congress that special
ly trained army units, instead OF
marines, should have occupied
Iceland but were prevented from
doing so because of difficulties
presented by the one-year draft
service rule.
Marshall made this statement
in testimony given before the
Senate Military Committee July
8 in support of legislation which
would permit the retention in
active service of selectees and
national guardsmen for longer
than one year. The testimony
was made public by the commit
tee today.
CONFUSION
If selectees or reservists had
been sent to Iceland instead of
marines, Marshall said, an "un-
fortunate situation" might have
arisen because the reserve Of
ficers would have had to agree
to be relieved of active duty and
then be recalled to active duty
by their consent.
Had we pursued h a
course" General Marshall testi-
fed, 1--WE might have found
ourselves in the very unfortrsn-
ate situation in which part of
the reserve officers had volun-
teered and part had not. Such
a situation would have advertis-
ed the convoy before it sailed,
and we would have been risk.
ing the lives of everyone on it.
IF you serve notice that you
are going to send an expedition
Of that nature, you are also Of
fering an opportunity to any
hostile people to take such &C
ton as they see fit."
If, as a result of such adver-
tisement, one or more ships had
been sunk, the testimony con-
tinued, I'VE would not have
heard the end of that for the
next 20 years. and very proper
ly So"
Marshall said his requests for
authority to retain men for more
than a year and removal of re-
strictions which limit the serv-
ice of drafted men to the west
ern hemisphere had been mis-
understood and misinterpreted.
He specifically denied he plan
ned an "expeditionary force" or
an army of 100000 men.
WOULD MELT FORCES
Unless the Crescent one-year
limit is removed, the top-rank-
ing army officer said, "our pres
emit trained forces will largely
melt away"
He explained that selectees
and reserve officers from a
major part of forces recently
sent to Hawaii and Alaska and
that attempts to release them at
the end of a year would deplete
both forces and complicate ship
ping problems.
1--WE do not want to hold the
present selectees any longer be-
yond IL months than we can
avoid" he said. specifically,
we wish to release the older
men, those % years old and over,
on the completion of their IL
months, and even earlier, and
think in the large majority of
cases we can do so without too
serious an effect on organizs-
tional efficiency"
