s. "A. Chief Visits Here
World Head Of Salvation Army Mrs. General
Arrive From Bombed London Headquarters
BY VERA BROWN

Gen. George L. Carpenter. com
mander-in-chief of the Salvation
Armies of the world, is in town.
With him is his famous wife, who
says she's Mrs. General" They
flew here from England to visit
the United States and Canada ano
hope TO go down to Buenos Aires
where once they were stationed
before they go back to headquar
tiers in London.
Or where headquarters once
was. During the big blitz. the 20
year-old structure on Queen Vic
toria street vanished early ONE
Sunday morning in a burst of Naz
bombs.
Said the general:
EVERYTHING WENT
Everything went, records,
our big safe, everything. Oddly
enough the thing which crippled
us most was the loss of all our
typewriters. OF course none are
being made in wartime England.
I'VE didn't have a machine
left. We had TO hunt for old
secondhand machines and beg
them from our friends. For some
we paid 40 pounds-that's about
$500. But we carried on.
The Salvation Arrny's work to.
day is closely connected with the
war. The general was elected heac
of the international army in Au,
gust. 1899, TO replace Evangelint
Booth. He took office just in time
TO wire Winston Churchill from
Canada that the army was ready
10 take its place in the conflict.
JUST PITCHED IN
"By chance we were In France
when our British boys arrived
that first year." he said. WED
maintained huts I'm France, Bel
GUM and Holland to take
parents and relatives through
cemeteries there. We found the
troops concentrated around
many of our posts. We just
pitched in"
And about the Salvation Army'S
officers in Nazi-controlled coun.
tries:
I'm Italy we have been liqui-
dated. We cannot wear our uni
forms there or I'm Holland or i'm
Occupied France. Many Of our
rokers are interned I'm concen-
tration camps. There they are
carrying on their work.
MAGNIFICENT THING
THAT to me Is magnificent
thing. Our men and women can
do their work for the interned

believe that expresses our atti-
tude.
81 have talked to many of our
people who escaped from invad-
ing armies. They all tell the
same story. Only in the great
crisis does one realize how UNI
important are material things.
THAT Is the mistake the
world has made in this century
on the material. To-
day IL Is finding that material
things fail In the crisis. They
are looking for somewhere to
turn. i believe they will find IL
In simpler, more sincere living.
FAITH IN DESTINY
81 do not speak OF formal re-
ligiOn, 1 speak of faith I'm mans
destiny. We find IL in our sol
diers and sailors. One great re-
ligious man remarked: There
were no atheists In the foxholes
OF Bataan.'
"Often l have asked groups of
young men whether they at
tended church, protested reli-
gion. Rarely Is there more than
60 per cent who do.
But when talk with some Of
the other 40 per cent, they are
cropping for faith. Perhaps that
is the worthwhile thing which
may come out Of this war"

NEW DRIVE PUSHED

Meanwhile, with Edwin J. An
|derson, chairman of the Wayne
County Salvage Committee. re-
porting that the success of the
local drive has made Detroit the
leading city in the country, re-
newed efforts were made to boost
collection totals here.
The industrial dormant scrap
drive" just begun, and to continue
for the next 80 days, was being
pushed.
c.. Brewster Loud Jr., regional
director of the industrial program
suggested a slogan for all indus
trialiSts to follow.
eff IL hasn't been used for the
last three months, and no one
can prove IL can be used In the
next three-find a use for 1t or
scrap it," he suggested.
SPURS WOMEN'S EFFORTS
This slogan was echoed by Mary
Brewster White, chief of the
women's salvage section of the
WPB in Washington, who was in
Detroit 10 spur the housewives
participation in the scrap drive.
The housewife can use the
same slogan" she said.
Householders were urged to con-
tinue and intensity their saving OF
kitchen fats, tin cans and all other
scrap.

Ford Go
Chief Out
For Kelly

Admitting that he appears to be
a rebel from the organized ranks
of labor. Paul Ste. Marie, presi-
dent Of Ford local UAW-CIO, last
night asked his followers TO sup
port Harry +. Kelly, Republican
candidate for governor.
The president OF the Ford union,
largest local in the nation, pointed
out that both the JAW interna-
tional executive board and the
Michigan state Go council have
endorsed Gov. Murray D. Van
Wagner for reelection.

There are approximately 100
tons Of scrap metal in four DPW
yards right at the moment.
I suggest. Mr.. Mayor. that this
material be turned over TO Mr..

better than our price committee,
which. incidentally. was chair
named by your personal repre-
sentative. Mr.. Rich Thompson Of
the DPW.

BELIEVES IN KELLY

He continued:
"Why am seemingly
rebel? Why am l risking the
wrath and criticism of higher
officers:
Because I believe Kelly Is
the very best man in Michigan
today to be our governor-be-
cause Of the man he Is, the
leader he Is, and the friend OF
labor he has proven TO be.
HE has contributed to a
proper recognition of the rights
of labor. He has not acted rs a
politician In handing out favors
that can be taken away at will.
II refuse to follow my JAW
and CIO chiefs because i believe
their choice Is a false friend TO
labor, and know Kelly Is a
true friend"

REIMBURSEMENT ISSUE

Third. there Is the question of
the city being reimbursed for
Saturdays collection. There can
be no argument with our COM
mittee on that subject because
this procedure was approved by
the DPW weeks ago.
DPW Commissioner Walker
stated, at a council meeting earlier
in the week. that this drive in
volved no extra expense TO the
city. There is to be no increase in
the budget"
Therefore, I can't see why you
are so upset-and I'm sure Mr..
Taxpayer has no quarrel with you
over the expense of this scrap
collection.
What / can't understand Is. now
that the campaign, is over the
committee is being criticized be-
cause the money realized from the
sale of the scrap is TO be used TO
buy three tanks. At no time, up
Until yesterday, was there any
question raised by city officials
6 to what this money was TO be
Sed for. We had to have cam
lign theme. and the fact that
le committee made possible the
objection of approximately $1,000
0ns of scrap metal sufficient TO
uild 700 tanks. makes us feel
hat the campaign was not too
lily but worthwhile.
Ut is comparatively easy to
>cond-guess on most anything; in
ct, am a pretty good Monday
lorning quarterback myself. but
feel, right now that any second
messing by city officials merely
"onfuse the situation and destroys
Detroit's morale.
LIKE TO WORK WITH CITY
We. of the committee, would
like to work with the city in
future salvage efforts. If the city
feels il is entitled 10 take over
the scrap collection and TO sell il
for whatever they can get for IL,
/ am sure il will be perfectly okay

Van Wagner today advocated the
release OF states prison inmates

"Some 500 men, released from
Michigan prisons during the past
year on parole, are in the armed

PROVE PATRIOTISM

Inmates of our prisoA have
shown through heavy purchase
OF bonds and through military
training programs that past
criminal records do not neces-
sariIy brand men as unpatriOtic.
There Is no reason why con-
sideration should not be given

facilities can handle this job. +"
So that parole facilities can b'
increased, the governor promised

Detroit MdyGet
.Shredding Plant
To Salvage Tin
WPB Official Confers
With City. State Aides
on 500. 900 Proposal

AS the salvage drive marched
ahead on all fronts, possibility
doomed today that Detroit would
|get a shredding plant for the
preparation of tin salvage.
r. X. White, acting chief OF the
general salvage section of the
WPB in Washington, conferred
here with William M. Walker Jr..
|DPW commissioner, and Kenneth
I'M. Burns, chairman of the Mich
|igan Salvage Committee, on the
possibility of building 500, 900
Tin shredding plant here.
1t was expected that the city
would be asked for cooperation
in the operation of this plant If
the plans materialize.
HANDLING EXPEDITED
Advantage of a shredding plant
lis in the simplicity of the prepare
|tion of cans before they are turned
over to a defining plant. Instead
|of the process of washing, cutting
both ends out and the flattening Of
each can, they can be turned over
Ito the shredders with only a
washing.
The plant would be built to
shred from 5000 to 10000 tons of
tin year.
BY shredding tin the maximum
lis gained when the material
reaches a defining plant, it was

Walker said that he would sub
nit the plans and operating pros

council if and when the War Pro-

BACK TO REASONS

But let's get back 10 the reasons
for the ''Buy-A-Tank" drive.
This drive was 10 be an about
salvage effort in which every resi-
dent Of Wayne County could par
ticipate, and campaign which
would definitely make every De-
troiter conscious OF the critical
need for scrap iron and metal.
Detroit had been given a black
eye in q recent issue of a maya
zine. and il was the feeling of the
committee that magazine was
wrong-that Detroit was war
conscious-that Detroit was do
ing its part-and that we would
show the world that Detroit was
alert by putting en-the greatest
salvage drive in the country.
Primarily. however. the Buy
A-Tank" drive was created TO get
scrap iron and metal into salvage
channels. and secondly 10 make
Detroiters permanently salvage
conscious.

Salvage Head
AHdis Mayor S
Scrap Criticism
Attitude Unwarranted,
Dangerous TO Morale.
Anderson's Letter Says

Charges that Mayor Jeffries'
criticisms of the recent "Buy-A-
Tank" drive were unwarfanted
and dangerous to Detroit's morale
were contained in letter sent the
mayor today by Edwin j. Ander-
son. chairman of the Wayne County
Salvage Committee.
The letter said:
Dear Mayor:
Due TO the fact there seems to
be a great deal of criticism and
Second guessing" in regard to the
manner our ''Buy-A-Tank" drive
was conducted. I would like to
give you the why's and wherefores
OF the drive.
II will interest you 10 know
that the "Buy-A- Tank" drive was
set up by the Wayne County Sal
wage Committee early this sum-
mer. However, the day before we
planned 10 announce the drive,
President Roosevelt's rubber cam
paign suddenly got under way.
We. therefore, found 1t necessary
to postpone the drive until the
rubber campaign. was out of the
way.
Consequently. the 'Buy-A-Tank"
drive was announced in the news
papers in early September. You
have been quoted in the. news
papers as saying "the idea Of buy
- tanks is silly-the government
all the money IL needs-the
money raised through the sale OF
this scrap should go into city
Golfers. Why should the City Of
Detroit pay for this collection?
