DETROIT, Mich. Oct. 3.-Un-
less all signs fail, Michigan is
going Republican in the Novem-
Der elections rather impressively.
The one chance where the DEM
ocrats may score is in the sena-
torial race, in which Senator
Prentis M. Brown, Democrat, is
running against Judge Homer
Ferguson, Republican. Even in
that race the Democrats may
fail. They are pitted against a
man who is extremely popular in
Wayne County Detroit, with a
small amount of outlying terri
tory which is a Democratic
stronghold. If they cannot roll
up an impressive lead for Sena-
tor Brown in this city, he will
lose.
Judge Ferguson is known far and
wide as the "one-man grand jury
He has since 1899 uncovered a mil
lion dollars worth of graft, put a
deadening crimp in rackets, particu-
iarly the handbook racket, which
were taking some $4,000, 900 in toll
from people of this country an
nually, and sent scores of crooks to
Jail. Among those indicted and
either in Jail or on their way there
are a former Mayor of Detroit, a
sheriff, prosecuting attorney and a
superintendent of police, not to men
ton a whole flock of police inspec-
tors and policemen of various grades
The Republicans have placed at
the head of their ticket three men
from the Detroit area. Their candi-
date for Governor is Secretary OF
State Harry F.. Kelly, called great
campaigner. Their candidate for
lieutenant governor is DR.. Eugene
c. Keyes, and Judge Ferguson, is
their bet for Senator.
A fly in the Republican ointment
is Gerald L. K. Smith, onetime
lieutenant of the late Senator Huey
Long of Louisiana. Mr.. Smith ran
in the Republican primary against
Judge Ferguson. He polled 112,444
votes against 201 sos for Judge Fer
guson, 1856 for Elton R. Eaton, 9
newspaper publisher, and 80 votes
for fourth candidate. Mr.. Smith

Rationing, Subsidies
May Be Necessary 10
Save Small Business
Commerce Report Cites
Menace of Decreasing
Consumer Goods Supply

Decreasing supplies of civilian
goods will make widespread ra-
tioning" inevitable and Govern
ment subsidies may be necessary
for distributors, Commerce De-
partment experts reported yes
terday.
In an 88-page monograph sub
mitted to the Senate Small Business
Committee, they said the problem
Of providing relief for distressed
wholesalers and retailers will re-
quire Government action that may
appear quite extreme and foreign
to our peacetime thinking"
Pointing out that elimination of
excessive services and wasteful prac-
tices can give retailers and whole
salers only partial relief from the
squeeze" resulting from price cell
ings, the report expressed the view
that "subsidization of distributors
as a possible means of relief war
rants serious consideration.
Difficult to Stay in Business.
If the present policy of main
tanning price ceilings is continued,
many wholesalers and retailers will
find it difficult to stay in business"
the report declared. THE question OF
subsidies should be viewed in terms
of national interest. Obviously
there will be a continuing need for
the performance of the functions Of
wholesaling and retailing. The goods
available for civilian consumption,
limited though they are, must still
be distributed"
Prepared under direction of
Charles G. Fichtner, chief of the
departments division of regional
economy, the report analyses the
impact of the war on the economy

ticularly on small business enter

WLB Grants Pay Raise
To 10000 Workers
At ChrysIer Corp.
Wage inequalities Are
Defined by Boord in
Announcing Order
BY the Associated Press.

The War Labor Board yester-
day allowed a wage increase of
4 cents an hour to 10000 Chrys-
ler Corp. employees who had
sought a 1912 cent raise and set
forth a definition of "pay in
equalities" significant in connec-
tion with the discretionary du-
ties imposed on the board under
President Roosevelt's new anti
imitation order.
The increase amounts to ST ,488 900
year. The boards decision was
reached more than a week ago, but
was not made public until after the
President issued an executive order
stabilizing wages at September Is
levels except where gross inequities
exist.
DR.. George w. Taylor, vice chair
man of the board, writing the ma
jority opinion, defined the term
inequalities" to cover only abnormal
differences in wage rates.
1T should be pointed out" DR..
Taylor wrote, that differences in
rates are not necessarily inequalities
in rates. On the contrary, the wages
paid in American industry are nor
mally characterized by all sorts of
differentials created for many diff
ferent reasons. Under any sound
program for stabilizing wages in this
time or war it must be presumed
that we'll established differences in
wages are not inequalities.
Accepted by Board.
This approach was accepted by
the board in considering the ques-
ton of North-South differentials in
the textile cases. Such an approach
is particularly to be followed when
such differences in wages have been
established by collective bargaining
procedures.

above-stated presumption, however

Bund Members Face
Revocation Of j. ).
Citizenship Rights
BiddIe Orders Action
Against Those Regarded
As Nozi Sympothizers
By OLIVER MCKEE.

Declaring that evidence as
sembled by the Justice Depart
ment has provided "incontest-
able proof of the un-American
pro-Nazi character of the Ger
man-American Bund, Attorney
General Biddle announced last
night of a Nationwide program
to revoke the citizenship of all
naturalized former bund men,
bers whose activities indicate
that their oaths of allegiance to
the United States we're taken
fraudulently or to further the
interests of Germany.
Those whose citizenship is re-
voked will become alien enemies and
will be ordered interned for the dur
alton of the war. Mr.. Biddle said.
Instructions have been sent to
United States attorneys throughout
the country to initiate Immediately
the decentralization proceedings.
In view Of the large amount of liti-
cation expected to result from the
drive, Federal attorneys have been
instructed to petition the courts to
consolidate the cases in each Judi
cial district in so far as the COM
mon issue of the uh- American char
acter of the Bund is concerned, the
Justice Department explained.
1000 May Be Affected.
Approximately 500 denaturaliza-
ton cases have been completed, or
are now pending in the courts
Amongs those already stripped of
their citizenship is August Klap-
prott, last acting bund fuehrer.
The FBI. which has been investi-
eating the activities of the Bund
for many years. has submitted to
justice officials records on hundreds
of its members. The program an
nounced last night is expected to
result in the decentralization and
internment of more than 1000 for
mer bundists.
Pointing out that the German
American Bund, which was formally
dissolved last December, had served
as an instrument of the German
"Ausland organization whose head.
quarters are at Stuttgart, Mr.. Biddle
declared that the Bund had three
major aims. First, to resist inte.
grafton of Germans into the Amer
ican system; second, to retain the
complete loyalty of its members to
Germany. and third, to establish ir
the United States a branch of the
German Reich.
THE aims and purposes of the
Bund are wholly inconsistent witt

Loyalty to one excludes loyalty tt
the other. It therefore follows tina

Landlords Must Notify
Rent Control Office
Of Eviction Suits
Renters of Units Which
Lack Ceilings Must
Apply Before November

An order compelling District
landlords to file with the rent
control administrator a copy
Of any eviction notice or suit to
be served on a tenant, except in
cases of non-payment of legal
rents, has been issued by Robert
F. Cogswell, District rent control
administrator, it was announced
yesterday.
The new ruling provides that such
copies must be submitted to the
administrator before any action is
taken to force the tenant off the
premises.
Specifically exempt from the
terms of this order are home -owners
who take into their homes not more
than four roomers, under the pro-
visions of the recent congressional
amendment to the District Rent
Control Act, calculated to encourage
residents here to alleviate the hous-
ing shortage. Hotels also are ex-
cluded from the order.
The order was issued, it was said,
to acquaint the administrator Office
with the circumstances of all evic-
tions before they actually are Or
dered by the landlords so that pos
sible inequities or violations may
be detected. Previously, it was pos
sible for disputes between landlords
and tenants to go through court
proceedings without the administra-
tors Office being aware of it.
Has Right to Intervene.
Mr.. Cogswell pointed out that his
Office has the right to intervene in
any court proceeding concerning
rents and that, therefore, his Office
should be informed in advance when
such action is contemplated by a
landlord.
Mr.. Cogswell's order further pro-
vides that a landlord who evicts a
tenant to take possession of the
place himself, to sell the dwelling
to another owner who intends to
occupy it, or to make extensive
alterations, must obtain from the
administrator a new determination
of the maximum legal rent before
he may permit new tenants to
occupy the quarters.
Under this ruling, the rent ceiling
on any place from which the ten
ants have been removed for one o1
the three reasons given above il
considered to be zero, and any sub
sequent tenant whom the landlord
may take into the place would be
entitled to recover sum equal te
