'NYA Assists
ia in County
"a Schools
Represented

sDuring the past school year,
the National Youth Administra-
ton aided ia students in "a
high schools in MacOmb county
in earning part Of their expenses
through part-time jobs, ii was
revealed in q report issued from
the state office in Lansing by
Grin w. Kaye, state NYA ad-
ministrator.
These young people were em-
ployed at various jobs around
the schools for which they earn
ed from 50 to IS p month which
was paid to them by the NYA.
Hourly rates of pay were based
on those prevailing in the COM
munity.
Although this amount seems
small, the report shows that the
majority of youth benefiting
from this aid, spent their NYA
wages for lunches, car fare,
school supplies, q pair of much
needed shoes, and similar items
that must be met by every school
student. Many of these young
people. would have been forced
to drop out of school if it were
not for NYA help, Kaye said.
Work assigned under the pro-
gram is the responsibility of To-
cal officials who administer the
program in their particular
schools. None of the work is of
a character that would displace
any regular employee.
Kaye pointed out that new
emphasis has been given the
NYA student work program
through the use of these jobs in
determining vocational apti-
tudes. Students are assigned to
various jobs during the year to
enable them to determine what
types of work they are most in
terested in and what types they
can perform best. In addition,
the work experience obtained
through the job provides young
graduates with additional quail
fication for obtaining employ
ment.

Protest Japanese Attempt To Market Big Consignment
 Of Canned Salmon in U. }.

SEATTLE, Jan. 13.-A Joint Conl- mittee for Protection of the Pa cific Coast Fisheries has announced a strong protest has been made di- rectly to Secretary Of State Cor dell Hull against the alleged Jap- anese attempt to market $9,000,000 worth of canned salmon in the United States.
 The Joint Committee told Secre- tary of State Hull that a Japanese concern made inquiries about the of selling huge con- signment of canned salmon to this nation and openly approached Pa- cific Coast salmon operators, seek ing their approval of the plan, agreeing to maintain prevailing prices and contribute toward the domestic advertising program.
 The letter of the Joint Commit tee declares the salmon industry rejected the Japanese offer as contrary to the Nations economic and military welfare.
 The Committee suggested the Japanese offer was prompted by the loss of the British market through the Japanese nations ad- herence to the Axis Powers.

German troops and trenches along the Nazi-occupied French and Bel gian coasts, presumably awaiting Hitler's signal to invade England. were machine -gunned and bombed early today by low-flying British warplanes and bombers.
 Other British Air Force planes bombed Nazi U-boat bases and also flew at high attitudes late last night and pounded the Italian cities of Venice, Turin and Catania.
 The British communique says that despite the long flight, much dam age must have been caused on the Italian cities by the incendiary and explosive bombs dropped by the fliers.
 Authoritative Lon don quarters said the RAF daylight cunning at- tack on the Nazi forces on the Eng fish Channel is part of campaign to drive the German defenses back from the coast. The German com munique makes no reference in the early forenoon bulletin regarding the gunning but unofficial sources de- clares that thousands of Germans have been killed and many invasion ships sunk in the recent raids.

WASHINGTON As the tumult and the shouting over Willkie dies, it might be we'll to turn the spot light back to another Republican who twice has been on the very threshold of the COP nomination, and who with the opening of Con- gress joined very select group in the United States Senate
 He is Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, one of the toughest free-for all lighters in the Senate, who on January 3 began his third consecutive term. To serve three Sen- ate terms may seem commonplace to a public which remembers the long records of Borah, Ashurst, Smith and Norris. But the fact is that while many of the Democrats now in the Senate have served three or more terms, the past decade has seen so many humping Democratic majorities that only six Republicans can boast that distinction. Vanden- berg is one of them.
 Unquestionably he became an "elder' statesman only by the skin of his teeth. But he got there. And the chances are that after four more stormy years, the Senator from Michigan still will be promising and perennial presidential timber.

Hesse Report Urges Trunk System, Regulation
 of Traffic

Recommendations for Territor- ial gasoline tax, laws for the regu- lation of traffic, and an "inviolable read fund" into which certain tax receipts should be covered for road purposes only are made in the bien- nial report of William A. Hesse, Ter ritorial Highway Engineer and Sup erintendent of Public Works, issued today.
 Hesse renews in the report his re- commendation that a trunk system of Alaska highways be planned as a basis for the extension of the Fed eral Highway Act to Alaska The system would begin at Haines on sheltered inland waters navigable throughout the year and connect with the Richardson Highway. Other branches would link up the major activities and industries of the Interior in the single system.
 Tolls Raped
 A declaration against the policy of collecting tolls on Alaska high ways is contained in the report, though Hesse says he believes that if this policy has been adopted as mean of collecting revenue it should in fairness apply to all high ways alike, instead of as at present. to "a part of single highway
 With reference to gasoline tax, the report states: "The question of road construction is so inseparable from the question of taxation that Alaska might as well face the fact now that it costs money to build and maintain roads and that we are the only civilized country - the world that exeacts no taxes from the motor vehicles for which the roads are built and maintained" The tax is described as both scientific and equitable. It should be adopted here,'' Hesse recommends.
 The Engineer holds the regulation of traffic on the public highways in Alaska to be vital necessity. Hesse says that this will have to be done sooner or later and if it is not done by the Legislature it will be by Congress and there is a strong pro bability that any such measure pas

ZURICH, Switzerland, Jan. 13.-- James Joyce, 59, Irish author whose ulysses" was the center of one of the most bitter literary con troversies of modern times, is dead here.
 James Joyce. the partially blind, unconventional Irish author, who waited 27 years before he regular ized his marriage to Miss Nora Barnacle, was born in Dublin in 1882 into a family of some con- sequence.
 Early, he gave signs of his genius and his extraordinary tastes for living apart from the masses.
 Joyce received an unusual edu- cation. His father turned him over to the Jesuits who grounded him in many fundamentals especially in languages. As result of this training Joyce spoke in ten tongues.
 His linguistic flair was how ever only part of his genius. He once studied medicine and fully expected to practice it. He also studied music.

 The author first left Ireland jn 1904 at the age of p. He returned, and this produces another facet to his character, to open Dublins first moving picture house. The venture was unsuccessful and Joyce
