Then the former envoy to Rus

AnOtner cnapter was written
in the long and interesting his
tory of the Utica post office
when, on Sunday, the equipment
was moved to larger and finer
quarters in the Messmore build
ing, corner Cass street and
Mount Clemens road. Extensive
~ remodeled and made up to
date the building meets all gov.
eminent requirements.
During the ia years since II
was first established Utica has
had rs postmasters, only two OF
whom were women, Mrs. Julia
p. Grant, who was appointed in
1880 and held office for three
years, and Isla Messmore, pres
ent incumbent, and the revenue
and business of the office have
increased from few collars,
with mail once week, to its
present volume with the post
master and her assistant, Lucille
Messmore, also two clerks work
ing full time.
Established in 1923 when the
town was known as Harlow, the
first postmaster was William,
Familiarity known as "Picket"
Smith. He held the office from
1928 to 1841 and kept it at his
residence which stood where
now stands the home of DR.. A.
F. Tews, on south Cass street. In
the early thirties the name Of
the town was changed to Utica
and tradition has IL that prior to
the days of the postoffice set
tiers got their mail from Detroit
and Mount Clemens. Near the
junction of Canal and River
roads stood q large hollow tree;
and mail was left in it for the
few settlers to help themselves.
Among the postmasters was
John H. Kaple, who held office
during the fifties and later be-
came postmaster of Detroit. The
Andrus family played an import
ant part, the office having been
held by the father, DR.. VIM. w.
Andrus, the first Republican
postmaster from 1851 to 1866.
William s. Andrus, the older son
had charge from 1883 to 1885,
and the younger son, E. John
Andrus, for Is years, 1922 to
1885, preceding Miss Messmore.
Alexander Grant served from
1873 to 1880 when he resigned to
run for the legislature and his
wife, Mrs. Julia p. Grant, ap-
pointed in 1880, held the office
until 1883. Their son, James A.
Grant, became postmaster in
1889. Stuart Beatty held the Of
flee twice, first in 1889 and later
in 1912.
The first money order was is
sued at Utica on Aug. 1, 1870,
and the first postal note in June
1880.

Measures Follow Violence
in Occupied Countries

Noxis. Communists, Jews

VIC HY, UNOCCUPIED
FRANCE, Feb. 3-(R-German
authorities, retaliating for con.
tinued outbreaks Of violence
against Nazi forces In occupied
France, have executed six Pa
risian, youths and ordered de.
portation 10 eastern Europe for
100 others described as Com
munists and Jews.
The retaliatory measures were
announced by Lieut.. Gen. Ernest
Won Schaumburs, Military Com
mander in Paris who said that
between Jan. z and % there
were six bombings and shootings
IN which German army install
lations or soldiers were the tar
gets.
simultaneously it was learned
here that two Belgians, Ray
mond Soupart and Henri Jouve-
nois, had been executed at Mons
recently on order Of q German
military court.
Soupart was accused of COM
hitting acts of violence against
German troops and illegally pos
sessing arms, while Jouvenois
was charged with Communistic
activity.
Won Schaumburg said the six
youths executed In Paris "had
connection" with the parties
responsible for the latest acts of
violence, but did not say wheth-
er the 100 condemned TO exile
were In any way connected with
them.
A precedent for mass retalia-
ton measures was set by the
Germans last October when
they ordered the execution Of
200 hostages in Nantes and Bor-
deaux for attacks on German Of
ficers. One hundred persons
were shot but 50 much resent
ment was aroused that 100 of
those condemned later were re-
prieved.
A recurrence of violence in
the occupied area, however,
prompted the Germans to exc
cute 100 more hostages in Paris
in mid-December, but this time
they were selected from elements
which authorities said they
deemed undesirable to Vichy
as well as Berlin-that is Jews
and alleged Communists.
Nevertheless the Petain gov
eminent protested, saying the
severe measures had caused
profound :. uneasiness'' among

British Seek
Solid Front
[AgainstF0e

CAIRO, EGYPT, Feb. 3-(R
Under cover of sharp rear.
guard action, the main body Of
Britain's North African army
sought today to establish q solic
front athwart the cirenaicar
hump" which would enable il
to. halt the eastward thrust Of
Field Marshal General Erwin
Rommels reinforced Axis
troops. -
It was obvious that enforced
evacuation Of Bengasi and the
area to the East had rendered fu.
tile any hope of smashing Rom.
mels offensive by a counter at
tack aimed at his left flank.
In view of this situation, Brit
ish strategy appeared to call for
a general withdrawal which
would stretch Rommels vital
lines of communication and fin
ally force Q showdown on ground
suited to q strong defense.
There was no disposition here
to deny that the British had been
caught unawares by the ability
of the Germans and Italians to
reinforce their North African ar
mics with armored units and
transport in aNshort time.
Military circles appeared con-
fident. however, that the front
would be stabilized and exhib-
tied no great concern over
ground lost.
A British colonel put it this
way:
ITS only q question of time
when Rommel's supply line,
stretching like q rubber band,
will break. Then we will move
in again and smash as much as
possible of his forces.
We've always known there's
little point in desert conquest
unless you take as q prime prob
lem the urgent necessity of de-
stroying the enemy's forces.
Area Is not important. Tanks,
men and trucks are"
A communique issued yester-
day from British headquarters
indicated that Axis columns had
reached the vicinity of Slonta,
about los miles northeast of
Bengasi and about 225 miles
northeast of FL Agheila, high
water mark of the British push.

Butcher-Fight
Menaces Detroit
Meat Supply

DETROIT, Feb. 3-<R>-Re-
fusal of union butchers to
handle cattle at one unit of the
Detroit stockyards brought fears
today that q labor dispute there
might result in serious curtail-
ment Of Detroit's meat supply.
Members of the AL Butchers
union at the Michigan livestock
exchange q farmers cooperative
refused to butcher 800 head of
cattle after ALL teamsters union
pickets appeared at the gates.
Victor c. Swearingen, state
labor mediator, said the two
other stockyard firms, Bishop.
Hammond & Co. and Ridley &
Marshall Co., planned to handle
exchange cattle but that in such
an event the teamsters probably
would extend their picketing to
those yards unless the dispute
were settled beforehand.
Eighty per cent of the city's
meat is supplied by the three
yards, Swearingen said.
Transfers pickets appeared at
the exchange yesterday demand
ing recognition of its members
among employees. AL butchers
refused to kill the cattle and
other AL eamsters declined to
take meat to packing houses.
Morris Coleman. ALL organ
izer, said wage increases were
sought for six union members
at the exchange. He said they
now were paid $40 q week while
other firms paid similar en-
ployes SIS.
George ]. Boutell. manager Of
the exchange, asserted that the
Transfers union was beginning
q drive to organize yard workers
and later farmers supplying the
