Halifax, Welles Confer.

British cooperation was involved
In view of the British contention in
the past that belligerent merchant
ships could not be transferred dur
ing hostiities.
The American nations appeared
30 be anxious lest Britain might
seize axis ships at sea after they
had been put into inter- American
shipping service.
Viscount Halifax, the British Am
baSsador. and Sir Arthur Saltar,
head of a British shipping mission.
conferred on the subject with Un-
dersecretary of State Welles. They
did not indicate whether compro-
mise was in prospect.
The conference grew out of the
action of a Pan-American commit
tee which recommended a common
policy among the q republics on
the requisitioning of foreign ships
idle in their ports.
The Maritime Commission was
reported ready to prepare 80 axis
ships recently seized in this coun-
try for service SO they would be
ready in event of an order to put
them in use.
Decision Is Waited.
At least tWo-thirds of the Ger
man and Italian vessels we're sabo-
tagged by their crews before Coast
Guardsmen took them into protec-
tive custody a month ago. Since
that time maritime engineers have
surveyed the ships carefully and
outlined just what needs to be done
TO restore them to operating con-
dition.
The administration has yet to
make an official disclosure of its
plans for the ultimate disposition
of the seized merchantmen, but
there were some grounds for the
belief that a decision might be
Forthcoming soon. At the time of
the seizure, one high official said
the Government probably would
hold the ships for 80 days or so and
then resurvey the situation to de-
termine what can be done with
them.
Legal experts say ample authority
exists for taking over the sabotaged
ships, but there is some question as
to how far the United States could
go in using other foreign vessels now
In American ports.
The pending legislation was de-
signed to solve that problem and
also to avoid any issue with refer
ence to 80 Danish ships taken into
protective custody at the same time
the % Italian and German YES
sels were boarded.

By the Associated Press.
The United States and British
governments sought an agreement
today to govern use of axis and
other foreign ships Communicated
bv the American republics as the
House Rules Committee gave right
of way to legislation to let this Gov
ernment take over idle foreign ships
in American ports.
Representative Bland, Democrat,
of Virginia, sponsor of the legisla-
ton, said it was designed to permit
use of the ships to offset a loss in
tonnage. An opponent Of the bill,
Representative Oliver, Republican,
of Maine, declared the measure was
"another act of war"
The bill would permit use of the
vessels by the Federal Government
or allow them to be turned over to

Aid Granted To
Inspect Cattle

The senate appropriations com
mittee has granted an increase o
$4,000 in the Department of Agri
culture appropriation bill to per
init hiring additional specialists
to inspect cattle imported into
Arizona from Mexico through the
border towns of Sasabe and So
noyta, it was repoted today from
Washington.
The increase was granted at
the recommendation of Sen. Carl
Hayden of Arizona, who testified
at committee hearing that the
volume of Mexican cattle brought
into Arizona was too great to be
handled adequately by existing in
spection stations at San Luis, Ma
co, Nogales and Aqua Prieta.
Hayden said cattle growers in
the Sasabe-Sonoyta district found
it financially impossible to ship
cattle 125 miles to the nearest in
spection point, and declared it
was imperative to employ addition
al cattle inspectors who could Wis
it the smaller border points when
cattle were scheduled to be brought
across.

DARING TESTS

Development of Plymouth's new
Safety Rim Wheel, hailed as a
valuable new protection feature
for 1941 and standard equipment
throughout the line. called for
courageous road work by test
drivers and engineers, explains
Verne Orr, vice president of
Chrysler Motors of Calf.
"a full year of cautious expert
ment-liberally mixed with daring
test runs on dynamite charged
tires-was required to earn engi
neers' .okay on this patented
feature, aimed at greater safety
for the motoring public" says
Orr
"Tires were blasted by dyna
mite caps while speeding 20 and
80 miles per hour, in dozens oi
actual road tests to obtain scienti
fic data on different experimental
wheel designs"

Philosophy

John Bugg told me that accord
ing to the science of biology, ev
cry dwarf, every hunchback and
every cripple would have grown
into the full statue of a man il
at some period in their develop
ment they had not been stunted.
In keeping with this principle,
have often wondered about the
over-developed ego of some folk
who are suffering from a disease
"swellitice" for which science has
found no cure. And | have also
wondered about that intellectual
dwarf who lets propaganda shape
his opinion.

Crisis Faced
by Defense
Workers

aThe law caught up with Arm
old Pelkey, his wife and two
children today.
Pelkey, q defense worker, was
hailed into Circuit Court by
Clinton township officials, be-
cause his home-a small trailer
lis not in accordance with the
township building ordinances.
He was adjudged in contempt
by Judge James E. Spier and
given until Oct. 10 to comply
with the ordinance.
His alternative is to move.
According to township Off
Gals, the action was brought to
discourage similar violations of
the ordinance.
The case crystallizes the situ-
alton faced by hundreds Of other
Pelkeys, the men and women
who have flocked to Macomb
county in search of work to aid
in national defense production.
The initial influx filled all
available rooms, apartments and
homes in the area. Those who
have followed have been forced
to live miles distant from their
work, or live in poorly con-
structed shacks or small trailers.
Many of these people have
been told to secure other accom-
modations, or move, as commun-
tiles see a dangerous problem in
sanitation unless some sort of
control is instituted.
The workers want to obey the
law. They also want to work.
The situation is not of their own
choice.
If the trend to order them ito
move" spreads. the problem
comes when they start to obey
the law: for, just where can they
