Cleaners Take
County Building,
Inside and Out
Staff With Soap, Water
Scrubs Stone Walls After
Internal Moppine Up
BY ERNEST W. RAPALEE

The Wayne County Building
that imposing structure at the
head of Cadillac Squares finally
being cleaned after all these
years, both inside and out, liter
ally and figuratively.
Nine months ago, il was the
concensus among county workers
in the building-as well as among
the legions of hangers-on around
its corridors shat nothing could
be done about deplorable condi-
tions in the building.
Today, the building is actually
being washed with soap and water.
but the office changes which have
occurred during the hine-month
period are more significant 10 the
taxpayer, and most particularly 10
his pocketbook.

(Continued from Page D the clergymen from their churches next Sunday.
 "1f this Is done there undoubted- ly will be trouble throughout Nor- way" c spokesman said,
 Everyone Quits
 Swedish reports said that every Protestant clergyman In Norway had resigned in the mass indigna- ton against the Nazis and their puppets and that either e state of siege or removal of Quisling was anticipated.
 On Easter Sunday, according to the Stockholm accounts. every clergyman read to bis congregation statement explaining the reasons for his resignation and today the enraged Quislings threatened to render the bishops and their fol- lowers harmless"
 At the same time the Nazi-con- trolled church ministry laid down conditions under which laymen might preach in place of the rec signed clergymen.
 Some reports indicated that as many as HOO clergymen had res signed and that nearly all Nor- we gian schools remained closed with more than 1000 schoolmasters un- der arrest, as well as il otllcials of the Quisling ministry of education,
 The German radio carried state- Inents by Quisling in which he as- sailed the clergymen for failure to support c new political community Idea" in Norway-the Nazi so-called new order.
 He said he had demanded that the bishops and priests should re- fuse help to capitalism and Com munism SO that "the vital interests of the Norwegian people" - NaZi interests and his own position = could be protected.

washington, April ey-(upl-un- official circles today viewed tho visit of Chief of Staff Gen. George 0. Marshall and presidential adviser Harry L. Hopkins to London as an- other steps to coordinate military and supply actions of the United states and Great Britain,
 White House Secretary stephan n. Early in the only official comment on the arrival of Marshall and Hopkins in London, said that they were on . perfectly normal war tune mission"
 Informed observers believed that Marshall and Hopkins undoubtedly would attempt, by personal contact with British ehieftains, to further coordination of British and Ameri- can Ideas on conduct of the war and disposition of materials.
 Their talks presumably will sup- plement the work of the recently established Paeiflo war council in Washington, while held its first meeting a week ago today and tts second session yesterday, both ct the White House. Hopkins attend cd last weeks meeting.
 Hopkins is chairman of tho Alneri- can section of the British-Ameri- can munitions assignment board, which controls disposition of war materials of the two countries. He spent several weeks 1n London last year before this country entered the war, and also visited Moscow. Ills trips to the British and Soviet oapi- tals resulted in definite agreements concerning materials which the United States, as the arsenal ot democracy. could furnish to foes Of the Axis,
 First Trip Co Europe
 This is MarshNll'S first trip tc Europe since he became chief oi staff in September, 1889. Observers believed 1t likely that one of the major purposes of his trip would he to establish personal contact with British army ohieftains.
 In that connection, 1t was noted that the British military and naval representatives sitting on the so- called combined chiefs of staff group in Washington actually are not chiefs of staff. The real British chiefs are in London, and the men here are suhordinates, although of high rank, Marshall, 1t was be- lieved, probably wished to have face- to-face conversations with his "ops posite number" in the British gov- ernment,
 Hopkins and Marshall both were present at President RooseVelt's At. lantic meeting with Prime Minister winston Churchill and other British officials last summer.

 It was announced that the Australian supreme war council would meet later today and that the Australian war cabinet would meet tomorrow. These meetings were called, 1t was understood, to consider subjects discussed at the war coa- ference.

 He said the Australian air corps also would depend on the United States for supplies and latest types of planes and other equipment, and for trained specialists and ground staffs. The air corps organization here will be Ike that in the United States, he said, except that 1t would not include airplane design or de- velopment of new types.
 Lincoln's organization will con- struct air bases and installations, handle transport of supplies, fuel and munitions, train and distribute technical specialists and repair and overhaul planes.
 He indicated that plans already were far advanced to absorb an in- Aux of pilots, planes and supplies for full scale aerial war
