B|aCkOut Plea
Saves Light Bill

LANSING MAY S-Fhe- high
cost of blackouts was the clinching
argument today which saved bill
for authorization OF increased bond
issues by the Detroit Public Light
ing Commission from being sent
back to committee.
The uckley-Mhite-Poleski bill
vas placed on the calendar for
passage after Rep. John PoleSkl
told his colleagues during bitter
fight for passage by the Wayne
delegation:
III America is on the brink Of
war. as many believe, II will cost
$1,000, 900 to prepare Detroit for
blackouts 80 essential in protect
ing munitions interests"
The revenue bonds would permit
expansion OF the public lighting
facilities 10 almost eliminate pur-
chaseS now made from the Detroit
Edison Company and TO increase
capacities 10 take care OF new low
cost housing projects, which obtain
light from the PIC.

Pontiac Rushes
Naval Cannon

Production OF a large quantity
of automatic anti-aircraft cannon
for the navy was under way today
at the Pontiac division Of General
Motors. after a government 60
ahead.
The gun, a 20 MN. rapid-fre
piece. is known officially as the
Oerlikon and is capable of sus-
tanned firing in excess Of 400 ex.
plosive shells per minute.
In visit TO the plant yester-
day, Read Admiral w. II. P.
Blandy. chief of naval ordnance,
said the gun was primarily in
tended for anti-aircraft defense
for ships.
He was accompanied by Com
mander f. f. Herman and Com
mander A. G.. Noble. of the naval
ordnance department. and John
C. Painter and f. s. Chapman, Of
the OPM.

URGENT NEED

THE need for this gun Is very
urgent" Admiral Blandy said.
Its sheer fire power makes IL
extremely valuable on all types
of vessels. We believe IL to he
the most effective gun of its
size yet developed"
Although the contract for manu-
facture of the guns was an
nounced only yesterday, the Off
cial delegation found production
had already begun. Because of the
navys confidence in the piece, it
was explained by Pontiac general
manager II. X. Klinger, the Pom
tiac contract has been given high
priority rating and production
should go on undVninished by lack
of supplies.
The building adjacent 10 the
Administration Building covering
$4,000 square feet, has been re-
modelled for the task, Klinger said.

In addition the authorities Will
have 10 deal with advertising sign
boards. which are lighted by or

the light from blast furnaces and
with few lights IN the city
which burn day and night such
as those under railroad grade

II am planning on talking
with the Edison people later
this week about possible
black out for Detroit and will
discuss II with the lighting com
mission at its next meeting"
SChrenk said.

MAY EVEN IMPROVE 1T

As an improvement on this.
Schrenk added. there Is conSidera-
ton of a plan 10 step up this
lighting still further. perhaps to
the strength OF moonlight.
Under the proposed plan for
London the illumination would be-
raised TO the level or rooftopS or
higher, and the entire city would
be bathed in a dull glow which
would make individual objects
Just as hard TO identify as in a

The street lighting in Detroit

Experts Doubt
City Can Rely
On BId(kouts
BY JAMES II. INGLIS

The problem of backing out
Detroit against bombers was
scheduled today as the subject for
a conference between officials OF
the public lighting commission and
the Detroit Edison Company.
With the Detroit River provid-
ing a strip of moonlight to guide
enemy bombers to their targets.
the city's electrical experts are
far from confident that the city
can rely on the blackout as pro-
lection against night air attack.
Louis J. Schrenk. superintend-
ent of the lighting commission. is
now studying reports from Lon
don and has attended conferences
of national defense experts at
Cleveland and New York City.
SEE LITTLE CHANCE
There Is not much chance
that Detroit can he concealed
from bembers regardless OF
whether the moon IL shining or
not" Schrenk said.
Lake Erie and Lake st.
Clair are easily identified from
the air at night and any fiier
with a map Of the river To help
him could easily find where De-
troit was along the river be-
tween these two, large bodies Of
water.
THE NaZis have had no trOu-
bile finding London at night.
The only purpose of the black
out there has been to prevent
tho enemy from locating spe-
cific strategic detectives within
the city"
Schrenk said that London
started with a total blackout az
the beginning of the war and
found that more persons were
killed and injured in traffic acct
dents than by enemy bombers.

Income Tax Base
Likely to be

Washington, Aug. Sins Sen.
George CD Ga, chairman OF the
Senate Finance Committee. pre-.
dicted today that it will comply
with Secretary OF the Treasury
Morgenthau's request to increase
the yield of the House passed tax
bill to at least $500. 100000.
George said that although a gen.
eral program to form the basis
for the proposed increase is yet
to be worked out 1t will probably
be brought about through broaden.
ing the income tax base, increas-
ing the surtax bracket and revis-
ing or readjusting other levies.
I'VE viii. go up to $500 ,000, 0OG
and perhaps little bit beyond that
figure II it can be done while still
preserving the economic system, "
George said.
Il think" he added, that some
program will be worked out that
will carry out in principle at least
most OF the recommendations of
the Secretary OF the Treasury, al.
though there will probably be some
differences of opinion"
George said however that he
does not favor the Treasury rec.
concentrations to increase the five
per cent surtax bracket approved
by the House to II per cent, and
predicted that 1t will meet strong
opposition in the committee.
Il think that the increase in the
surtax bracket to IL per cent
would be exceedingly high" George
said, land 1t seems questionable to
me that the committee would go
that far"
The Georgia senator said that in
all probability the committee will
accept President Roosevelt's' pro
posal that new exemptions in the
personal income brackets might be-
gin at 1900 for married couples
and 500 for single persons. The

and gone to La Pallice."
From the height we we're fly

gave us a jolly good feeling TO see
