yesterday by the board of edu-
cation to serve during the COM

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-R)
"A decision to ask treason in
dictments against possibly half
of the IA persons held as sus-
pected accomplices of the eight
Nazi spy-saboteurs may be an
nounced late today by Attorney
General Biddle.
GA Press conference has been
called for $3.50 p. m, EWT).
The Justice Department Chief
and some of his top aides have
been reviewing the evidence
against the IA for several weeks.
Treason is the highest Of all
crimes and carries the death
penalty. BY constitutional pro-
vision, conviction Is not possible
without the testimony of at
least two witnesses to an overt
act, or a confession in open

The first conviction under the
Federal treason statute in nearly
$50 years was that of Max Ste
phan, who was sentenced to
death at Detroit last week for
aiding q German war pilot who
had escaped from prison camp

$500 Legal
Droin Litigation
Claim is Okoyed

The Board of Supervisors
Tuesday approved a $500 bill
submitted by Bert v. Nunneley,
Mount Clemens attorney, for le-
gal services in connection with
drain bond litigation.
Nunneley, involved in the lit
igation since 1887, had previous
ly been paid approximately ST.

wood Bennett said today.
Former Gov. Alex Groes-
beck's bill for $4,000 was ap-
proved recently by the Board.
Groesbeck had previously re-
ceived $4,000 for legal serv-
ices involving the drain litiga-
ton.
The litigation ended early
this year when the U. S. SUI
preme Court refused to review
a u. S. District Court of Appeals
decision outlawing $4,000, 900
worth of drain bonds issued by
the county.

Shores Rejects
Incorporation

VilIoqe Stotus

ST. CLAIR SHORES - 1t is
still the Village of st. Clair
Shores today.
At a referendum Tuesday on
a proposal to incorporate t h e
village as q city, voters of St.
Clair Shores defeated the city
plan by a margin OF 439 votes.
The vote as to whether vii
lage-township rule should be
shelved in favor of a city form
of government was: No, 1885;
Yes, GIT.
The election, which stirred up
heated arguments between two
factions for the past several
weeks, lured out the greatest
number of voters since the 1885
presidential election, according
to a Shores official. A total Of
2,418 electors went to the polls,
although the exact number Of
votes cast was 2,273. The diff
ference, it was said, apparently
was due to the fact that las
voters either were unfamiliar
with the voting machines or did
not attempt to vote after enter
ing the booth.
The heaviest vote was in Pre-
cinct No. 3 (South Lake) where
$50 votes were tabulated. The
proposal was defeated in this
precinct, 534 to 416.

FotoI to Carrier

LONDON, Aug. 12-(P)-The
British aircraft carrier Eagle has
been sunk in the Mediterranean
but a large part of the 22,600-
ton warships' crew has been
saved, the Admiralty announced
today.
The Admiralty said at least
one enemy submarine operating
in the same area as the 24-year-
old carrier already had been
sunk, indicating that the Eagle
went down fighting.
German broadcasts last night
said four torpedo hits sent her
to the bottom in the western
Mediterranean.
MANY RESCUED
A communique said:
THE board of the Admiralty
regrets to announce the loss of
Inns. Eagle (Capt. L. D. Mack
intosh, DISC, RN) as a result of
U-boat action in the Mediter-
rancari. A large number of the
ships company are saved.
"The Admiralty are able to
announce that at least one u
boat operating in the same area
as Inns. Eagle has already
been sunk"
The Eagle carried a custo-
mary complement of 748 men
and FL or more planes.
The vessel was begun in 1913
as a battleship, the Almirante
Cochrane, ordered by Chile
from a British yard.
Work ceased with the out
break of the World War, and in
1917 the British purchased her
from Chile and redesigned her
as an aircraft carrier. She was
commissioned and given trials in
1920, but was not finally COM
pleted until 1924. She was
completely refitted in 1882.
The purchase price and other
expenditures brought her cost
to more than f4,617,OOO (about
$18, 500,O0O).
