Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-01


~ Coventry, now a mod
ern city, gave the
English language a new
word for destruction: Cow
entrized.
: America thought tn a t
this, except for a business
area in Rotterdam, was the
first modern city to be sub
jected to about bombing.
America was just unin-
formed; the strict Nazi
censorship that drew a cur
tain of blackness over oc-
cupied France hid the grim
story of anoth such
bombing, a rehearsal for
Coventry.
1t is the story of Tours
and the visitation of death
and destruction in those
last frantic days of the col
lapse of France last Spring.
These pictures, rare and
exclusive, have come to
America by devious ways
to tell that story, although
it cannot be told how the
pictures escaped the Ger
mans.
Tours is a town of pre-
Roman origin on the River
Loire in Central France.
There, in 1872, in the Battle
of Tours, Charles Martel
defeated the Moors and
turned them back from
western Europe: there in
the fourth century st.
Martin, the apostle of the
Gauls, was bishop; there
Alcuin established the fa-
nous philosophical and the
illogical school: there in
1917 and 1918 thousands of
American soldiers were
based, among them many
from Michigan; there in
1910 lived 7S,500 people,
about as many as live in
Lansing, Mich.
The sin of these people
was that they lived and
worked in an open city
(undefended by forts and
breastworks) that the fee
ing government of France
elected to call the capital
when Paris fell.
The luftwaffe reached
Tours almost as soon as the
government, for the luft-
waite was following the
government and trying to
destroy it.
Thus was the city, a
beautiful town fondly re-
membered by many soldiers
in the A. E. F., doomed.
Wave after wave of Nazi
planes blackened the sky;
tor after ton of high-explo-
sive bombs ripped Tours to
bits; thousands upon thou
sands of incendiary bombs
set the bits Attaining.
This is how modern air
planes d destroy modern
cities.

COST OF LIVING { BOTHERS AGAIN
Wrecker of Housewives Budgets, Is Once More
 in Evidence

washington, April 26-(Up)- szigh cost of living"-the wrecker of housewives budgets--is lurking around again.
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Aricultural Econ- ulnics report increased food, cloth ing and rent prices.
 Increases have been sharpest in foods, but other items are following the general upward trend. Ad- Nnnces have not been sensational in any item except meats. And Government machinery has been set ID to prevent an inflationary price movement. Offlcials hope to keep living costs in setp with the up- ward trend in wages and other con- siimer incomes. Both have been in- creasing.
 On the average all living costs are approximately three per cent above the level of August, l030, just before the outbreak of the European war, according to reports of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Food, up five per cent, is the big gest item.
 New supplies which merchants are putting on their shelves for the spring trade average 6.3 per cent higher than year ago, the bureau said. Wholesale food prices are ob per cent higher and textile products 1i.8 per cent higher.

 Advocates boast that the park would be "the biggest park h the biggest county in the biggest state in the biggest union of the world"
 The project is not without oppo- sition. chiefly from persons who de- sire to keep the mineral rights of the area. oil has been found in l62 of Texas 254 counties and explora- ton is under way in all except two of the others.

A state park of 225,0 900 acres is be- ing maintained there now, and ne. gotiations are under way to buy the remaining acreage.
 Mexican officials have promised to provide 1000 acres directly across the Rio Grande river, to form an international park, aS soon aS the United states establishes its nation. al park.
 TWO years ago the state surren. dered It's 225, 900 acres of public land in Brewster county to the park board. Since that time e campaign to raise $i,000.000 to buy private lard adjacent to the state park has begun, and legislative committees have responded favorably to requests for 6 9i500,O00 state appropriation for the purpose.
 Land of Little Value Most of the land sought Is valued at Si an acre or less, and the great est difficulty lies in obtaining re- leases from the owners on mineral rights. Quicksilver, silver and sev. eral other minerals have been found In the vicinity, although sponsors claim that the present proposed boundaries exclude ell known min. eral areas.
 The park Is on the Rio 0rande rlver-the inverted hump" region of West Texas on the map. It as 90 mile south of Marathon, Q little ranch country town, and approxi. mately 300 miles southeast of El Paso.
 The movement to establish 6 park has been led by V. '. Townsend of Alpine, former state representative and former Texas Ranger. The dis- trict was e locale for several novels by the late Zane Grey, and repre- sents what movie audiences would consider "typically Texas"
 Canyons Add To Be Beauty
 Three of the most beautiful spots are canyons formed by the Rio 0rande, which has sliced through mountains to leave giant cliffs that fiatten out into arid plains. Santa EElena canyon, with cliffs on the Mexican and American sides reach- | Ing 1900 feet above the river, is the best-known of the three. others arc Mariscal and Boquillas canyons.
 yoNage is abundant in the higher elevations of the park, particularly the Chisos mountain basin, but the main interest Is that of geology and the contrasting colors of mountain and plains formations.
 ueologists explain that the parl. area is Q geological island" formed by the criss-crossing of the Rocky and Appalachian mountain systems At no other place do the two great mountain systems of North America cross.
 The result of the geological up- heayal was to establish within the boundaries of what now is the Unit- ed states an area where plant and animal llge is closely allied to that of Mexico. Sponsors have urged creation of a bird and wild animal sanctuary In the district. which con tains the almost extinet antelope
