Is Janiiors
Raises!
When, II and As
Gosh is Found

VAN DYKE - Sixteen jani-
tors employed by School Dis
trict No. 5 have won a Is per
cent increase in salary; effect
i've if, when and as the board Of
education obtains state funds to
defray the $3.50 additional ex-
pense involved.
And, sitting across the table
from the janitors committee
during negotiations I VI d a y
night which resulted in tenta-
tive approval of the raise, was
Irving c.. Little, an ardent labor
leader to whom wage disputes
are no novelty; but this time he
found himself in the, TO him,
strange position Of representing
"the vested interests. He is
president of the board Of edu-
cation.
COMPROMISE ACCEPTED
According to Little, who is
president of JAW (CIO) Local
No. 270, of the National Stamp
ing company, Detroit (member-
ship 1,400), the janitors had pre-
sented the school board with a
demand for payment of $50 per
week flat salaries and rear
rangement of working hours.
The compromise offer suggested
by Little, and approved by both
the board as a whole and the
janitors' committee, stipulates
payment OF minimum salary of
$500 monthly for each of the 16
janitors with the head janitor
slated to receive $245. In addi-
ton the janitors will be granted
seven days sick-leave each year

Nazi Capital
Buffeted for
Third Night
Mosquito Bombers
Stob at Heart
of Third Reich

LONDON, Aug. 20 - Up -
Raj Mosquito Bombers kept
the nerves of Berliners on edge
last night with the third raid
on the German capital in as
many nights.
The Air Ministry communique
said one of last nights raiders
was missing. simultaneously
with the new stab at Berlin, 9TH
er aircraft laid mines in enemy
waters, it was announced.
Meanwhile. dispatch receiv-
ed through Stockholm said the
death toll in Berlin during Mon
day nights bombing, when an
estimated 700 heavy bombers
made smashing attack, would
have been enormous If women
and children had not been evac-
uated from the city.
The dispatch, from the Berlin
correspondent of Stockholm's
Tidningen, said every able
bodied person was modified for
fire fighting and rescue work.
While keeping Berlin awake,
the Mosquitoes put Axis radios
to sleep. One after another the
transmitters faded until there
was a complete blackout of en-
envy broadcasts for most of the
night all the way across Europe.
BIC and two neutral stations
had the air to themselves.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, Aug. 26 -
lP) - Roaring swarms of Light
ming fighters hedgehopped all
the way across Italy and shot
up ground defenseS at Foggia
yesterday, preparing the way for
the all-American wrecking of
the airdrome and 10 satellite
fields by three waves of Flying
Fortresses and Liberators.
The Lightnings were specially
equipped for the long-distance
run TO Foggia, southeast Of Ma
Piles and on the Adriatic side
of the Peninsula. Twenty-six
enemy planes were shot down
in combat and allied sweeps over
southern Italy and scores of 9TH
ers we're knocked to pieces on
the ground.
Going the whole distance at
an altitude u less than 100 feet,
the Lightning pi JtG said Ital-
ians along the route waved and
cheered as they passed.
The three-top level flight
threw the whole Roggia area
into confusion, out-witting Axis
ground defen, 5 and snarling
the enemy's detection apparatus.

CIRAUD:
Assures Unity

Gen. Henri Giraud had been the
Allies original choice for the post
of high commissioner of North At
RIGA. Then the bullet of the 20-year-
old assassin that killed Adm. Jean
Darlan made Giraud's selection in
evitable by the French imperial
council.
That the elevation of Giraud to the
slain Darlan's post had a unifying
effect was Immediately manifest.
Not only did the French North AT
rican civil and military forces rally
behind the new commissioner, but
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader of
the Fighting French, quickly
pledged his support of Giraud's re-
gime and urged the formation of a
temporary government to unite all
French elements.
While the murder of Darlan un-
deniably settled the controversy rag
ing through the United Nations over
the North African alliance of the AL
lies and the ex-Vichy collaboration
list, observers believed that before
his death Darlan had honestly re-
canted his former views and was
intellectually leading his forces
for the liberation of France. And
they defended the wisdom of Gen
eral Eisenhower first alliance with
Darlan.
