Man in Cage
Holds Fate
OF Britain
Directs RAF. Keeps Map
Of Nezi Moves
BY EDWIN G. HILL

IN THE rear of a huge room
L in London is a glass cage, and .
in this cage sits. erect and alert,
a man with enormous, quivering.
bushy red eyebrows.
The wary figure conveys an
impression of vastly heightened
sensitivity. aided by those cleo
trified eyebrows, which seem to
be nothing less than antennae.
catching impulses beyond the
reach of ear or eye.
The fate of the world may
hang on the intake and out-go
of this. glass cage, for here sits
Sir Frederick Bowhill, air chief
marshal and. commander-in-
chief of the coastal command
of the Royal Air Force.
THIS glass cage is the nerve
Il center of Royal Air Force
operations, from the African
deserts TO Iceland.
Flashing in constantly. night
and day, comes word of every
observable enemy movement in
the air and on sea and land. Sir
Frederick listens. his eyebrows
cooked, and speaks into a mega
phone a few quiet words of
command which may wing fight
ing planes to attack. or scouting
planes to some far reach of ex-
ploration. in northern SHOWS or
under desert sun.
Here is the highly Sensitized
ganglion of England's will TO
live.
On an enormous map every
known detail of the enenny's
counter-blockade. the shifting of
U-boats. Nazi bombers and sur
face raiders is plotted con-
stantly..
Sitting in his glass cage. Sir
Frederick can read this picture
story as a trader reads the
ticker report of the stock
market.
In his home. Sir Frederick has
five direct telephone wires from
such war centers as the admir-
atty. the air ministry and the
-Mar office. Rarely does he get
more than ART hour or two of
unbroken sleep.
4 ND here's another, Gen. Sir
~ Archibald p. Wavell. 81. SUI
prrU1c commander Of Britain :
victorious mid-eastern armies.
In IIitler's double-thFest, Sir
Archibald'S new-seasoned and
triumphant army. wherever it
is. offers bold challenge to the
Nazi drive down through the
southeast. historic jousting field
of the route 10 India.
Crucial as is the zero hour
at home. there is surely an
ordeal of empire shaping here,
and the tall. erect. trim-rigged
General Wavell, with his clipped
guardsman's muStache and his
cleaning. monocle. is as surely
a man of destiny as was Well
lington or Nelson. The monocle
shields a blind eye. lost in the
last war.
Legends already are gather
ing around his spruce, even
dandified figure. His soldiers
call him Archie" when he can't
hear them. The Turks call him
The Bloodhound, - and the
Arabs refer TO him by name
hard 10 translate. but II seems
10 mean. "Wapell The Wizard"

price of milk and cream in De-
troit more than 4 cents bottle
over that now charged at these
'depots. which cans grab
from the people of Wayne
County of more than $4,000 a
day.
There are thousands of fami-
lies,-fia -witA-habieS- and
growing children, who cannot
afford milk at that price and
who now buy milk from milk
depots. This milk is not only
as good as any in the city. but
ii has the butter-fat content
and the date of pasteurization
on every bottle.
There is no justification for
this bill except the protection of
a few of the big creamerles
against the more efficient
methods of a competitor.
w. r. SUTTON,
Ill Marston avenue.
TO THE EDITOR:
IT SEEMS to me the Detroit
L city taxpayers are not very
much interested in their own
home government or courts OF
Justice when they can pass up
such a miscarriage of justice as
the Urquhart murder acquittal
case.
Surely the judge and jurors
couldn't close their eyes to The
fact a poor dishwasher' che
was human as any policeman
had been shot down in cold
blood by a drunken policeman,
by man who is PAID and
SWORN TO UPHOLD and EN-
FORCE OUR LAWS.
1t was SECOND DRUNKEN
OFFENSE against said Pc
LICEMAN.
Where has justice gone to
in this fair land of ours? There
are hundreds of thousands Of
dollars of taxpayers money
wasted in these sham court
battles, as we have witnessed in
Detroit lately.
Do they convict the crooked
officials after all the disgraceful
bribery is aired? No, il is just
a crooked scheme to drag 1t
through the courts so dozens OF
lawyers can get $50 a day or
more. After months of wran-
Cling in the courts ii is all
hushed up and no one is the
worse except the taxpayer.
MRS. V. RAINIER,

I WISH TO express my opinion
