the 100000 tri-county project
is approved.
In an appeal to the office Of
Prod u ton Management, the
State Stream Control commits
sion urged priorities be granted
for steel used on sanitation prof.

Milton p. Adams, commission

to start immediate construction
had been baked by shortage of
steel and said he feared the en-
tire project might become stale

struction of disposal plants in "a

Many residents in South Ma.
comb are reported to be unsym-

to reopen the 9-Mile disposal

Survey Emergency
Landing Fields

OWith the assistance of Amer
lean Legion posts throughout
the area, Roy M. McKinstry,
county defense chief, today be-
gan q survey of all land in the
Thumb district that might be
utilized for emergency an
fields.
The study will cover the 7th
Congressional District, McKin-
strey said, and will be forward
ed when completed to 1t. Col.
Harold A. Furlong, Michigan
Defense Council director.
Each American Legion post
will designate a committee to 60
over the territory in its region,
and send the results to McKin-
stry. McKinstry will then make
a detailed aerial survey of the
entire district to accept or re-
ject areas suggested for emer-
gency landing fields.
Purpose of the survey, the
county defense chief said, is "to
provide the State Council with
information which we can use
for our own air force, and
which will be valuable in event
of attack from without"
McKinstry will attend tomor-
row a meeting of the Southeast
ern Michigan county defense
councils in Detroit at which
Gov. Van Wagner will speak.
Rep. John H. Tolan, chairman
of the Congressional committee
conducting hearings on defense
migration, and Capt. Donald

Police will also talk to the
group.

hemisphere, we will take other
steps,"
Austin's attitude, however,
was not shared by Senator Tobey
(R-NH).
Tobey charged that the "Neu-
trality Act is being evaded and
avoided at every turn" and he
said the arming of merchant
ships would be only another of
sequence of events that are
bringing us into active warfare. "
The question of arming ships
and modifying the Neutrality
Act arose at Mr.. Roosevelt's
press conference yesterday dur
ing discussion of the sinking of
the S. S. Pink Star-an Ameri-
can-owned ship operating under
the flag of Panama-which went
down in the North Atlantic Fri
day night.
SUB VICTIM
The Chief Executive contri-
buted some additional details on
the ships loss. He said she had
been the victim of a submarine
some 275 miles northeast of Cape
Farewell, the southernmost tip
of Greenland, while travelling in
a Canadian convoy. The State
Department later announced
that % survivors of the crew of
"a had reached Iceland in good
condition.
The Pink Star, Mr.. Roosevelt
disclosed, had been armed, and
he said that other American
owned ships operating under
Panamanian registry also had
been given guns. The Neutrality
Act prohibits the arming of ships
flying the United States flag,
but the restriction does not ap-
ply to American-owned ships op-
Grated under Non-American re-
gistry.

Litht Gets
Appointment
Named Building
Inspector

AVIAN DYKE-Frank LIGHT,
former Warren Township Treas
urer, today resumed public Of
fee as Building Inspector for
the Township following his con-
firmation in a stormy Board
session sduring which a weller
of opposition candidates for the
appointment were advanced.
LIGHT, who was defeated for
reelection on the Republican
ticket in the Democratic sweep
of the Township, fills the
vacancy left by the death of
Max lookout, the first Build
ing Inspector in Warren Town
ship under the newly-enacted
building code.
His candidacy for the ap-
pointment was entered by JUS
tice Stanley Guzdial, the new
est member of the Warren
Township Board. and was con-
firmed at the conclusion of a
verbal battle which saw adroit
maneuvering and ended in an
open break between the Dem
ocratic and Republican forces of
the Township Board.
In the furry of the proposals
and counte proposals, the
names of numerous former Of
flee holders and political adj
herents of both parties were
advanced.
The name of Edgar I. Moses,
assistant Building Inspector who
has handled the department
since lookout S death, and was
considered in direct line for the
appointment as head of the de-
partemnt, was passed over in
the battle.
Irving Little, former Justice
and at present a school board
member, was also among those
who received nominations. Ray
Moore and Albert Gaskell, a
builder who Is at present a
member of School Board seven,
were also advanced for the ap-
pointment.
The office draws a salary of
S170 a month with an expense
allowance, and will be includ-
ed in the recent raise of Town
ship employees wages authoriz-
ed by the Board.
The nomination of Gaskell
was actively supported by Sup
ervisor Earl Tallman on the
basis of his experience as a
builder. He is also a Democrat.
No unified atcion by either
party was apparent in the ses-
sion since both advanced sever
al candidates competing against
each other.

Of men, Flagwill, a lot of menl But
! want you to 60 out and see the
situation for yourself - and tell
Hague why I'm forced into these
desperate delaying actions out in
'front.'"
An hour Of patient driving put
Flagwil down the Army's projected
front. Whole regiments stood about
in the dawn, still waiting for orders
and supplies. The men were tired
and hungry. Shortage Of ammunition
was general, even in the infantry.
Ammunition was reported available
at the railhead, but the railhead
was swamped with demands and
there were insufficient truck trains
at present for all purposes.
AS the sun shot over the horizon,
Flagwill turned back to the Lannes
command post. Squadrons Of Amer
lean combat planes had combed the
air of Van Hassek's night hawks
and the day had quieted down to, a
rumble Of artillery columns and
hum of friendly planes.
Given a day or two, Flagwill con-
cluded, the hastily assembled Third
Army would shake itself down.
American ingenuity somehow would
overcome the shortages Of supplies,
motor vehicles, the obsolescent or
eenization tables, the unco-ordinat-
ed stats, outmoded weapons, the
lack of training in team-play Of
higher units. At least the officers
had sound academic training in the
science of war.
General Lannes, his face flushed
and harried, his eyes distended, sat
feverishly at the end Of field tele-
phone as Flagwill re-entered the
command post. After a staccato,
fretted exchange he hung up the re-
ceiver and got to his feet.
"Van Hassek is driving at Mole.
with everything he's got this morn
ingl" Lannes roared. "Only the reg
iments sent up to him last night
kept Mole from being cracked up
early this morning. Says he'll be
lucky to hold on till nine. My God,
Flagwill, this mess is going to cost
US five thousand men, maybe teni"
BY eight o'clock, Mole saw he
could hold no longer. CHASTITY losses
were multiplying, his TANKS were
threatened. Now the American air
service held the supremacy of the
air Immediately over the heads of
Mole's troops, which made possible
the dangerous operation Of daylight
withdrawal.
'T'm pulling out Of here now,

General Hague nervously paced
the floor Of his Office despite the
long days Of driving toll and anxi-
ETY. that had drained his energies to
the point Of exhaustion. The last
troop trains had moved south with
the force Of fifty thousand men that
was to stop Van Hassek on the Fort
Worth-Dallas line. But reports from
the south shook him with new mis-
givings and he had sent for Colonel
Flagwill.
Young Benning got away this
morning for Mexico City. didn't hep"
Flagwill's face dropped. "Sorry,
General. Benning has vanished in

''Benning missing2" General
Hague scowled incredulity. "That
doesn't sound like Benning."
81 authorized him to follow a
Van Hassek agent aboard Norwe-
gian tramp freighter, thinking we'd
get haul Of spies. A destroyer
overhauled the boat last night after
it sailed, only to find Benning was
not aboard as planned. The ships
captain claimed not to have seen
anyone resembling Benning."
Nothing should have prevented
Benning's flight to Mexico City,
Flagwill," Hague complained. "All
right, let's hope he turns up soon. I"
Flagwill drove at once to Boiling
Field where a fast new DAT obser-
walton plane put him in the air short
ly before dusk. Seven hours later,
as the plane approached Dallas, a
radio warning told the pilot to avoid
the Dallas airport and put down at
an emergency landing-feld south
of the city.
The savage winks of defamation
bombs caught Flagwill's eye as his
plane drove past the city. No soon
er had his plane roared to a stop In
the emergency field than his ears
rang with the bedlam of air bonn
bardment over Dallas. A staff off,
Ger from Army headquarters was
waiting for him.
