Protesting his conviction by

three charges, Roger Brohl, 80.
of 27422 Gratiot, Roseville,
Tues ay appealed to Circuit
Judge James E. Spier who up
held two of the decisions ana
dismissed a third.
Brohl was charged with leav-
ing the scene of an accident,
driving under the influence of
liquor and disorderly conduct,
all of the charges stemming
from an auto accident on Sept.
10.
Judge Spier found him inno-
cent only of disorderly conduct,
ruling he was not guilty because
the alleged offense occurred on
Brohls property. He was charg-
ed with striking Police Sergt.
Willard Wallace.
Brohl was ordered to pay a
$50 fine or serve 10 days for
leaving the scene Of an accident
and to pay a 500 fine and $24
costs or serve 80 days for driv'
ing while drunk.
Justice HOWE had ordered
Brohl to serve a straight 20 days
on the disorderly charge, had
revoked his license for 80 days
and ordered him to pay heavy
fines.
Roseville Village Attor-
ney Russell LsBarge, who pros
ecuted the cases, said Brohl had
frequently been arrested but

the Russian losses must be ter

None but War
Essential to Get OK

WASHINGTON. Oct. 81 Up
- Chairman Donald M. Nelson
of the War Production Board an
nounced today he would limit
government construction to pro-
jects directly essential" to the
war effort.
Nelson notified the heads OF
eight governmental agencies
that he had given instructions to
revoke priority assistance to a
large part of non-military con-
struction for the Federal gov
eminent, and said a review now
was underway of all military
projects, of the Army, Navy, and
Maritime Commission, with the
same end in view.
"As things now stand" Mel
son said, facilities and con-
struction, including many pro-
jects not related to the war ef-
fort, programs for 1943, with
the carry over of uncompleted
1912 projects will absorb be-
tween one-fifth and one-fourth
of the total war effort"
He added that the aggregate
demand for these projects for
materials, labor, transportation,
manpower, and technical and
engineering services, "is so great
as to not only jeopardize the va
rious military and essential civ
ilian programs in general, but
to force the most essential war
projects dangerously b h n d
