Russia's northern and southern
Caucasian armies, is ITS miles

In MISREPRESENTATION relations,
closely related to the war in both
Africa and Europe, the pro-Axis
French government of Pierre La
val protested to Washington
against assignment of American
army and naval representatives
to Free France, recently renam-
ed Fighting France.
Disclosure of the protest
came as Vichy for the first time
made public u. S. proposals to
remove French warships from
internment at Alexandria and
prepared to publish the notes re-
jecting the proposals.
Vichy, referring to the fight
ing Frenchmen as rebels, said
that the United States assign
ment of military representatives
to them was IAN attack on the
sovereignty of France"
Admiral Harold r. Stark and
Brig. Gen. Charles L. Bolte were

London with General Charles De
Gaulle and his staff ION all mat
ters relating to the conduct of

ed as business manager for, The
Martin County Tribune, of Loo
gootee, Ind.
Throughout his 13 years resi-
dence in Mount Clemens Mr..
Blomeyer played dominant
role in both newspaper and gen.
eral business fields. An ardent
member of the Kiwanis club un-
til his death he had served as
president of that organization
during the year 1889 and had
long held a dictatorship in the
Mount Clemens Board of Com
merce. He was a member of
Trinity Lutheran church.
WROTE COLUMN
In addition to his work in di-
recting advertising sales on
Mount Clemens newspapers Mr..
Blomeyer originated and, for a
considerable period conducted. a
chatty, homely column of local
happenings entitled All In a
Day" Later, when the pressure
of his other duties made it i'm
possible that he continue that
service, other writer's kept the
column alive under the same
name. His columns were always
signed with the initials &C. b."
which came to mean much to a
large field of readers, many
of whom did not know him per-
sonally.
ILL FOR YEAR
In August, 1941, Mr.. Blomey-
er's health dictated a serious OPP
Grafton which was performed at
the University hospital and from
which he never fully recovered.
During recent months, however,
he was at his desk daily in The
Monitor-Leader office and was
only readmitted to the hospital
for treatment 10 days ago. On
Tuesday of last week Mr.. Bio
meyers condition was reported
as critical and, on Sunday of this
week, he was reported to have
lapsed into a coma from which
he never rallied.
WIFE, CHILD SURVIVE
Ever since MIR. Blomeyer took
a turn for the worse last week
his daughter, Kay, 16, and his
wife have been in constant at
tendance at his bedside.
Besides his wife and child Mr..
Blemeyer is survived by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Blomeyer, of Richmond, Ind; a
sister, Mrs. Guy Jackson, of
Richmond; and two brothers,
Henry, of Richmond, and Frank,
of Dayton, o.

Chicken Thieves
Strike Again
Near Romeo

Chicken thieves who had ap-
parently been stamped out by
activities of state police of the
Romeo post last fall, today had
scored another robbery with the
loss Of between so and 100
White Leghorn chickens, aver
aging three pounds in weight.
The victim of the thieves de-
pradations was John McInnes, of
$500 Gass road south and east of
Romeo. The earlier robberies
occurred northeast of the coun-
tvs leading fruit center.
According to state police
tracks of two men were discern
ible in a cornfield where they
had tramped from the henhouse
to a parked car about 80 rods
from the house.
The stolen chickens had all
been vaccinated and have scabs
under their left wings. The
roosters have aluminium bands
marked mich, r. O. p" under
their right wings.
The theft, state police believe
was committed Tuesday night as
it was when McInnes counted
his fowls last night that he dis
covered the loss.
The tracks in the field offer
ed a poor clue, having been
nearly obliterated by the heavy
rain this morning.

The guardsman refused. But
when the ante was raised to

Before he could leave, Cullen
said, one of the men directed
him to ''look me in the eyes"
He said he was afraid he was
going to be hypnotized but the
man only asked If he would
recognize him again. Cullen re-
piled in the negative and was
allowed to leave-to notify the
coastguard.

ately. Coast guardsmen were de-
ployed along the beach to re-

appeared to be a submarine

MOVE THROUGH SUEZ
president Roosevelt proposed
that the ships be moved through
the Suez canal under American
custody to some American or
neutral port for internment until
after the war, when they would
be returned to France. When
this plan was rejected, he sug-
gested that the ships be sent UNI
der U. S. protective custody to
Martinique, French West Indian
island, for rehabilitation.
Vichy was warned that rejec-

troll officials believe should be
taken.
AS a result, members of Con-
gress who had been looking for
ward to a recess of several weeks
starting in about ten days were
being told quietly that they
might have to revise their plans.
REVISION SEEN
Rising farm prices, which
have not yet reached the statu-
tory ceiling in the basic price
control act, already have caused
Leon Henderson, price admins
traitor. to raise the ceiling on
canned and dried fruits. Sporadic
increases in wages, irrthe cost of
raw products and in other mis-
cellaneous costs such as trans
portation, have made an Eek
tremely tight" situation with
reference to many other ceilings,
the congressional sources said.
Henderson told a House COM
mittee yesterday that the price
control program was in danger
of breaking down and that wage
control was the next thing over
the horizon.
There was no immediate indi-
cation of the nature of specific
proposals Mr.. Roosevelt might
have in mind, but it was re-
ported that one would deal with
freezing" wages at the present
levels. This would block requests
for increased pay to compensate
for rising costs of living.
UP OPA FUNDS
The Senate voted yesterday to
give Henderson $125,0OO,000 to
operate his agency this fiscal
year as against S75,000,000 ap-
proved by the House and $140,-
100000 suggested by the price
administrator as his rock bot
tom" figure.
1t also retained a ban against
using OPA funds for subsidies to
business to enforce price cell
ings.
But it let Henderson retain q
free hand in making appoint
ments and removed some pro-
posed new restrictions on his
authority to fix price ceilings for
processed farm commodities.
On the farm price question ii
merely restated existing law
providing that farm prices could
not be fixed below ITO per cent
of parity (the purchasing pow
er farm commodities had in
1909-14 and that price ceilings
for processed farm commodities
reflect this 10 per cent of par
ity to the original grower.
The Senate expected to reach
a final vote on the bill today.
It provides a total of S1,857,15 =
ITO for the OPA and other war
agencies. One possible point of
argument was a proposal to re-
quire Senate approval of all
appointments to jobs paying $4,-
500 in the office of civilian de-
tense. A similar proposal for
confirmation of OPA jobs was
stricken from the bill.

Axis Troops
Poised for
.SueZ Drive
BY DANA ADAMS SCHMIDT
United Press Staff Correspondent

ISTANBUL, Turkey, July Is
- WD - (Delayed) - Fifty
thousand German and Italian
troops are concentrated in Crete,
in the Mediterranean between
Greece and Africa, to join the
forces of Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel for a drive on the mid
die east, military sources said
today.
The Germans, to conceal the
steady flow of men to Crete
from Greece, have resorted to
repressive measures and many
Greeks have been arrested and
executed, it was asserted.
Crete is $50 miles from the
Italian base of Derna in Libya.
It is only 80 miles from Italy's
base of Rhodes in the Dodeca-
nese Islands, whens Axis troops
might attack Cyprus preparatory
to an attack on fighting French
Syria.)
CRETE is BASE
Many Axis troops already
have been sent from Crete to
Africa, informants said. about
half of them in Junker transport
planes.
For several months there has
been a flow of Axis troops,
through Crete, it was added,
and the number of troops based
there has fluctuated between
10000 and the present $4,000.
Now, it was said, all Greek
war prisoners have been re-
moved from Crete to make
room for the Axis troops, divid-
ed about equally between Ger
mans and Italians.
The troops now in Crete were
believed to have been drawn
from Jugoslavia and to have
been in Greece for two weeks
before they were sent on to the
island. Two German and one
Italian motorized divisions were
included, informants said.
HOLD HOSTAGES
More than 100 prominent
men of Crete have been taken
as hostages in an attempt to
keep the troop movements from
leaking out, informants said,
and 10 Greek army officers
were executed several days ago.
The officers tried to flee from
Greece. Formerly the Axis toll
Grated and even encouraged
such flights to Turkey and Cy-
prus because of the food situa-
ton, but now, it was said, they
fear that men arriving in Allied |
or neutral territory might tell
of the activity in Crete.
More than 10000 human ste
have been performed
IN California since 1909.

She said NO" and turned her dark eyes

Make her see? He asked himself little
doubtfully what she ought to be made to see.
That time was still as generous with itself
as it had always been? 1t wasn't. Not for
these youngsters of today - or lot of them.
There would be fine new world some year

you'd say" said Nita. She stood up. ''You
don't care if she ruins her life in moment

Robert did. 1t was who had to plead and
argue while you gave your silent approval"
1T wasn't approval, Nita," he replied
quietly, "and it wasn't silent. talked to

l knew when was licked. Wasn't it better
to be sporting about it? Write her, Nita.
Write to her the way said"
He saw her shoulders droop; she turned her
face aside Il can't, Dan. Not the way feel.
You wire her - for both of us"
'All right, Nita." He added comfortingly,
IF he isn't the right sort of fellow, you know,
nothing will make Carol realize it quicker
than seeing him in her home'
She said disrnally, She'll never go back
to school if she gets married now. Never"
Il don't know" he answered. But you
