their men still might be alive.
They thought there was a chance
that a floor might have come

Police Chief Louis Wrasse said
there was practically no hope,
however, that any of the men
would be found alive. No cries
for aid or other sounds have
been heard since rescue squads
started their work, he said.

STORAGE FOR BOTTLES
The warehouse was leased by
the SchlitZ Brewing Company
recently to store empty beer
cases.
Sol. E. Abrams, general mana
ger, said the storage space was
needed because the government
restrictions on the manufacture
of bottle caps left the firm with
a surplus Of empty bottles. He
said there was about 412,O0O
cases of empty bottles in the
building, but laboratory tests to
determine the load capacity of
the structure indicated it could
support the weight of million
cases.
William r. Ross, a Schlitz Of

have undermined the foundation

Gun Experts

LANSING. Mich, Aug. 10
wide World)-From the Paci-
fic northwest, from Texas, from
Florida and from Maine they
come every month-several hun
dred selected youths from the
army and navy TO the school eS-
tablished by General Motors
Oldsmobile Division to learn
about machine guns.
The school is just a part, but
a vital one, of the great ordnance
Job Oldsmobile has undertaken.
In a series of class and shop
rooms the soldiers and sailors in
a 27-day course are taught the
theory and practice of machine
guns; learn what goes into them
in mathematical detail and how
to assemble them from scratch.
When the course is concluded,
the soldier and sailor students
return to their home posts to be-
come instructors to other service
men. .-
How we'll they learn about
machineguns is demonstrated on
the last day of school, which in
cludes a blindfold assembly test
for every one of them. In each
of the shop rooms Is or 20 of
the students, each with a blind
fold over his eyes, fingers one
of the weapons.
Suddenly one of them cries
check" and removes his eye
mask to reveal a broad, happy
grin. He has just reassembled the
entire gun with its scores of parts
in exactly l. minutes. Three
times that long would be pretty
good going, but the record is be-
ing lowered almost with every
new class in the school.
You have to see the gun with
its intricate mechanism to real
ize what it means to assemble
one blindfolded in IL minutes.
Although Oldsmobile is pro-
ducing several types of guns for
installation in army tanks and
the school at present
is dealing with only three mod
els. The course is broken down
into three nine-day class and
shop room periods.

Leonard said. IF a safe is stu
ated close to a front display win
dow and has a bright light burn
ing over it which could be seen
clearly from the sky, it should
be turned off during blackout

However, if safe is back in
a far corner of a shop and is

the safe door, l think an air raid
warden would be justified in
passing it up he explained. 1--WE
must use sense in enforcing these
regulations, especially when it's
just a drill, and only the people
on the ground can be the judge"
REASONABLE
If local enforcement of black
out regulations is uniform and
reasonable the public will accept
them, he said.
At the same time, Mount Gle
mems and Macomb citizens and
factories were reminded that the
Office of Civilian Defense was
not urging them to spend large
sums for blackout preparations,
believing that under present con-
dition only token" or "spora-
die raids might be expected.
I'VE feel it better simply to
stop production for a short time,
or turn out the lights in your
home. We are not suggesting
that householders buy blackout
