Spirit Of Brooklyn
5ymbo|ized in Film
'FIotbush' Movie
Certain Hit

The spirit of Brooklyn is
symbolized by actor Matt Nc
Hugh, baseball comedy picture
opening at the Macomb Theatre
t"night. McHugh plays the part
of guy who's crazy about base
ball, hates umpires, cries when
the Brooklyn team loses a game,
thinks Manhattan is a den of
dopes and is 1907 certain that
Brooklyn - its people and it's
baseball team can do no wrong
In one of the scnes of 1T Hap
pened in Flatbush' McHugh be-
comes so incensed over the base
ball umpire's decision that he
hurtles the wall in front of the
grandStand, rushes [ the home
plate and lays the umpire low
with prodigious haymaker.
Later he is saved from Jail by
the Brooklyn manager who ex-
plains TO the magistrate what
1.-The spirit of Brooklyn really
means.
The picture is reported to be
as exciting as ninth inning rail-
ly and is not amiss in proving
that it could only happen in
Flatbush.

Britain
Executes
Two Spies

LONDON, July 7-(P-Two
enemy spies-one of them
British subject-were executed
today in Wandsworth prison.
The Briton was Jose Estelle
Key and the other a Belgian Ma
tional, was Alphonse Thinner
man.
They were convicted under
the Treachery act, home office
announcement said, and their APP
peals later were dismissed. All
the proceedings were in secret.
Zimmerman, 38 year old
ships steward, entered this coun-
try last autumn posing as re
fugee but, said the announce
ment, Ibis real mission as a spy
was detected before he could do
any mischief
1t said he ultimately confessed
that he had been sent to Britain
by the German secret service TO
try to learn naval and military
secrets.
Gibraltar-born Key, 33, oper-
ated at the British rock, gath
ering information for the enemy
on movements of British land
and sea forces by way of the
western Mediterranean fortress.
The trials took place last May
and the appeals were dismissed
in June.

result was the new MI, with its
fiber inner-liner, which serves as
field hat and replaces the over
seas cap.
Major Sydenham designed the
new helmet when a contract for
100000 of the 1917-style he'll
NETS was let. Before the contract
was executed the majors sketch
for the coal scuttle," based on
his 1928 non-regulation job, was
inspected by the chief of infan-
try, who ordered model. For a
month thereafter Major Syden-
ham studied the history of he'll
NETS, delving particularly into
the World War period.
He found that the German
helmet best covered the head,
but was not ideal. 1t was manu-
featured in three sizes, made no
allowance for comfort, did not
have the proper insulation. The
l917 British helmet had the best
balliSticS resistance in the
crown, but was weak where the
brim joined the crown. The MI
retains the 1917 models crown,
but more nearly follows the con-
tours of the head.

Too Much Cheer
Lands Husband,
Mate in Cells

1t was rough night for the
Robinettes last night.
The couple are Lester Robin
cite, A, and his wife, Elizabeth,
80, who live at 1875 Mcclellan
avenue, Detroit.
Shortly before midnight they
were halted by Warren town.
ship police who contended that
Lester was driving his car reck-
lessly on Van Dyke avenue be-
tween the Eight and Nine Mile
roads. The police thought that
perhaps Lester had had one
drink too many and took the
couple to the Warren township
police station to wait until he
was feeling better. They also
rendered him a ticket for reck-
less driving.
At / am. he seemed to the
police to be in shape to continue
his journey to cottage that he
has rented near the head of
Mound road, according to the
tale he told.
Maybe Mrs. Robinette thought
that one ticket for reckless
driving was enough for one eve
ming. At any rate it was she
who had the wheel when the
couple were halted by Center
Line police on Van Dyke avenue
between the 10-Mile and H.
Mile roads, this time for drunk
en- driving. Warren township
police declared that Mrs. Rob-
inette was in worse shape than
was her husband.
Lester was locked up in the
Center Line brig and his wife
was sent to the county Jail for
the night
Explanations will be in order
when they face Justice Guy L.
Frost at arraignment this eve
ming.

popular activities of the week at

Lewis, Donna Marie Albright,
Jerry Tuscany. Cora Soc Sands
and Clarence Fin have found the
play site particularly attractive.
Madelyn Johns was named
captain of a girls team at the

Handicraft, under the direc-
ton of Margaret DeLaRue, has
been found fascinating by a ma
jority of the children at all
pay Sl JULIUS MISS DCLd-

Fairgrounds during the week.
On Wednesday, she was at
the Donaldson school, where,

Battered Chino Enters
Sixth Year of Conflict
Seeks Poeific Second Front
Rathev Than European

clared the United States and
China could knock out the Japa-
nese this year, if full American
power were concentrated In the
Pacific.
"A force of only 500 war;
planes of all types would enable
China to launch an offensive"
he said. "The facilities, includ-
ing gasoline, are still available.
Despite japanese advances,
bases remain from which Japan
can be bombed.
"If the Japanese are allowed
time to consolidate their gains,
it may take a very long time
to defeat them, and meanwhile
the United Nations would never
be able to throw their full
strength into European second
front.
Russia is sure to stay in the
fight whether or not q second
front is set up but there Is al
ways the danger that China will
be knocked out.
"There is little prospect Of
defeating Hitler this year, but
crushing the japanese would be
long step toward beating the
Nazis. 1t is sound strategy to hit
the weaker, foe first, also If
Japan is disposed of, the prob
lem of supplying Russia would
be solved"
Reviewing China's five years
of war, at an embassy press con-
ference, General Chu soberly
told questioners that livery few"
planes were being flown into his
beleaguered country, and that
American financial aid was of
little direct help to the war eff
fort.
The Japanese, he charged,
have used mustard or tear gas
more than 800 times against
Chinese forces. and have en-
ployed germs against civilians.
Just now the Japanese appear
to be trying to seize railway
lines for a 5000 mile all-land
route between Shanghai and
Singapore, which he said would
facilitate attacks on either ST.
IBERIA or China.

the World War less than one per
cent of the battlefield casualties
were produced by direct hits;
that 60 per cent were due to
ricochets, bomb fragments, fly
ing debris and shrapnel. With
the exception of the shrapnel,
most of the casualties were pro-
duced by rising fragments which
struck under the protecting rim
of the helmet.
This new helmet covers 80 per
cent more of the head than does
the Al, offers 33 1/3 per cent
more resistance to gunfire and
shrapnel, costs less to manufac-
ture and, due to it's lighter
weight and inserted hatband to
fit the individual soldier, is far
more comfortable.
Had he followed the old he'll
met as to thickness of steel, the
MI would have weighed 16
pounds; but tests showed that
hree-hundredths of an inch of
good steel, if a little away from
the head, would resist most of
the indirect causes of casualties.
The new helmet, already worn
by thousands of u. S. fighters,
is now in general production and
soon ell members of the u. S.
armed forces will have them.

YOUTHFUL SKIPPER

HUI y nE OA 0hAAk Ass
From our Wallaceburg, On
tario operative comes this one:
Il seems Chris Matthews, the
attorney, was trying to land
his 20 foot cruiser in rough
weather ut the Wallaceburg
dock Sunday.
Because all aboard were eth
er women, children or landlub-
bers, Chris jumped to the dock
with the stern line once he had
iockeyed the boat ITO position
But the line, seemingly unim-
pressed by the fact Chris is a
former state senator, pulled loose
and the boat rolled in the rough
sea without a pilot.
As the waves pushed the
cruiser farther from shore,
young Chris, Jr., IA years old,
took command even though he
had never previously skipper
ed the boat. He calmly cir
cled around, made a perfect
"three point landing"
Those aboard were inclined to
Joke about the incident today,
but all of them know that young
Chris averted possible tragedy
by quick thinking and his abil-
ity to mimic his fathers tactics
as Q skipper.

for approval of his bill to provide

bill, Pepper read dispatch telling
of the incident
THAT is the second time since
Dec. 7 that the enemy has hurled
missiles actually against the con-
tinental United States" Pepper
said. ut might have been the sad
sequel that a number of American
people might have been killed. Had
that happened. tl.ey would nave
been direct casualties OF the war,
lust as much as a soldier at the
front"
His bill would provide monthly
benefits ranging from $50 to S85
for total disability resulting from
war action. Dependents OF civilians
killed also would get benefits.
