Times Stan Correspondent

YPSILANTT, Nov. 26. - Ecorse
road from Michigan avenue, near
the east city limits of Ypsilanti,
to the site of the new Ford Willow
Run bomber plant. two miles east
of here, has been closed to all traf-
fic except trucks and other vehi-
Giles going to and from the plant.
Closing of the highway was
brought about by the serious con-
gestion which developed near the
plant due to thousands of sight
seers who drove slowly by the
plant on the narrow pavement TO
watch work in progress.
Traffic on M-17. which follows
Ecorse road to Detroit, is being
detoured onto Michigan avenue
eastward to a point east of the
bombing plant.

ter so close in front that 1t seemed
impossible to avoid a collision.
Almost simultaneously the whale
spotted the ship and made q quick
sidewise dive that saved his life
and, perhaps, serious damage
Whales really can be a menace to
destroyers. it was explained at lunch.
When one is struck head-on with
the craft diving ahead ut 20 knots,
the smash is likely to buckle the
prov and perhaps cripple the ship.
Usually the whale will save itself
from being cut in two by diving,
but If he is a split second too late
he gets mangled in the propeller
and may even break it.
Becomes Monotonous.
One whale did bang up destroy
er pretty badly on the Pacific Coast
a few months ago, but usually the
leviathans own instinct for survival
gets him out of the way in time.
But watching for whales is con-
sidered good practice. At night it
might be hard to distinguish a big
one from a submarine. This par
ticular animal may have been in
part responsible for the battle alarm
at lunch, in the form Of inspiration.
Such incidents take on a magni-
fled importance in the monotonous
setting of this Atlantic patrol with
its silenced radios and its black,
dreary nights. Hour after hour
it proceeds in perfect formation
and almost uniform speed. The

ships, with the intricate combina-
ton Of zigzagging and patroling
which is required so th2. no large
space of water in the neighborhood
of the ships which are being es-
corted will remain uncovered.
The whole must be done with
flashing lights as the only regular
means of communication. Radios
are silenced because any radio COM
munication would be received also
by any possible enemy. The wireless
telephone, with which some Of the
ships are equipped and which repre-
sents probably the greatest advance
in formation communication of this
generation, can be used only in an
extreme emergency. such as the
sighting of an actual submarine.
Otherwise there is danger that the
air in the neighborhood Of the
patrol would be full of chatter and
an appreciable interval would be
needed to shut 1t of so that orders
could be transmitted.
1t is interesting to watch the sig
nal men at work with the binder
equipped f1ashlight. All messages
come through in code-a double
code, in fact. One is secret and
must be deciphered from the code
book. The other Is device to pre-
vent mixing up letters.

SOMEWHERE IN THE ATTAIN

onds the destroyer x is ready for
battle.
The "man all stations" alarm to-
day came at lunch and before its
raucous notes had stopped the wa
ter-tight compartments were closed,
the matches down, the brown ma
chine guns uncovered and pointed
skyward, and the big guns swing
ing into action with the ship run
ming at forced speed ahead.
This drill is almost q daily affair
and Stimulates precisely what would
happen if a real foe, such as a lurk-
ing submarine, was spotted from
the bridge. The efficiency of the
destroyer as a war weapon depends
in large measure on this ability to
get into action Immediately and 1t
requires that every member of the
crew know his precise job and do
1t without the slightest lost motion
Whale Causes Alarm.
The first enemy of this was, in
fact, sighted shortly before the
alarm was sounded-a 70-foot whale
directly athwart the bow of the de-
stroyer. A few minutes before the
monster had been seen spouting
water some distance to one side and
no attention was paid to him. Sud-
denly the black bulk broke the wa.

benefits would be incorporated In
the tax measure.
There should be a fiat payment
of between $40 and $50 a month,
Senator Pepper declared, adding that
he did not see how the Treasury
could object to such a payment
under a plan now being worked out
by a special Senate pension COM
mittee.
DR.. Francis E. Townsend, the
pension leader, urged the Finance
Committee Saturday to approve a
gross tax of 5 per cent on all wages
and business transactions. Part of
the revenue he said, could be used
for pensions.
Chairman George told reporters
he did not want to tack a pension
rider onto the pending revenue
bill. 1t was said reliably, however
that pension advocates would carry
their fight to the floor if they failed
in the Finance Committee.

Finn Troops Reported
Approaching Viipuri

HELSINKI, Finland, Aug. IS R.-
Finnish shock troops were reported
today approaching the gates OF
Viipuri, once Finland's second great
est city, in a swift drive down the
Karelian Isthmus.
Red Army forces, guarding this
northern approach to their own
No. 2 city, Leningrad, were said
to have been forced into hasty
retreat by a threatened encircling
flank attack even before the main
offensive was launched.
Finnish reports yesterday placed
the Firms 18 miles from the city,
but new dispatches said gains had
been so swift vanguards already
might be storming Viipuri's suburbs.
Countless mines, snares and
barbed-wire entanglements were
said to have caused the Firms more
trouble than the retreating army.
Military observers expressed sur
prise at the troops pace because
the terrain restricted motorized op-
erations. The brunt of the attack,
as everywhere on the Finnish front,
was borne by infantry,

ably will provoke a closer battle
when the bill reaches the Senate
for debate.
Under the 1925 10000 House
bill, all individuals who have any
net income after allowable deduc-
tions and personal exemption Will
pay a surtax as well as a normal
tax. Heretofore, the surtax started
at $4,000 of net income.
In this bill every individual with
taxable income will pay 5 per cent
surtax on net income from 81 to
$4,000 with the rate going up in
steps above that amount.
After figuring this surtax he will
then go back and figure his normal
tax at 4 per cent on almost the
same base. The only difference in
the two computations will be that
the 10 per cent credit for earned in
come will not be deductible for sur
tax.
After the normal and surtax levies
have been computed and added to-
gether, the taxpayer then will add
the 10 per cent defense tax to that
figure.

Meanwhile Senate old-age PEN
Eon advocates, rebuffed in their bid

Senator Downey, Democrat, OF Cali

Thirteen British merchantmen had
