Action of the state adminiStra-

day by Mayor Edward J. JET.

''It seems odd TO spend money
for whooping cough serum under
the guise of war emergency
while rejecting an industrial
area request for such items as
fire equipment" the mayor said.
"SOoner or later the legisla-
! ture will realize that il is killing
i'm Detroit the goose that lays
the golden eggs. This is another
instance OF their habit of con-
tinually asking for more from
the pockets of the patient, old
Detroit taxpayer.
WHAT REFUSAL MEANS
This means we will have 10
add some more 10 our budget
and cut out some other items
which We believe are needed for
civilian defense"
Besides firc-hghting equipment
the request would have covered
air raid sirens and the training oil
personnel, Commenting on the ad
minlStratlve boards refusal Gov
Murray d. Van Wagner said:
II am sure we are all Sympa-
thetic with the needs of Detroit.
However, We can't very we'll
make direct appropriation for
any one community. Ii would be
bad precedent and our re-
sources would not stand up
under it,"
The board temporarily pigeon
holod a state police request tol

mile from the Ford airport to

The second stoppage came while

tract negotiations and inhumar
working conditions in some de-
partments. the men struck last
Saturday and the plant remained
down 81 hours. The first Stoppage
accounted indirectly for the death
of one employe who fought viii

T. Ed HILLMAN, multi

June Inverclyde, the former
British star, had a Jap valet
tor many years. Taxa was
not the usual type-obedient,
unctuous, ever-obliging. He
was stubborn, insolent, arro-
CANT and presumptuous to
an extent that had guests
bewildered, especially when he
began calling his employer,
Familiarity, Hillman or Ed.
Nevertheless. he was kept on
because Hillman insisted in
spite Of his "peculiarities" he
was loyal and efficient.
Until shortly after Pearl Har.
Dor, when, despite Hillmans
pleas. the government stepped
i'm and nabbed Taxa for de-
portation to the Owens Valley
reception center. Even then
Hillman personally drove his
Jap valet down 10 the train and
waited until the train pulled out.
At the last minute. Taxa opened
the window and stuck his head
out.
Let me tell you. Hlllman,~
he snapped. elf they fool around
