Supervisors
Eye Budget
for StOnOS

The budget for circuit court
stenographers was held up to-
day by the Macomb County
Board of Supervisors pending an
investigation by legislative COM
mittee of the board into the ad-
visibility of having two circuit
court stenographers.
Both stenographers are ap-
pointed of the governor and il
any action to dismiss them is
made ii. must be done by the
governor. Mayor Don r. Weston
dorf told the board Thursday
that the legislative committee
ought to contact Governor Harry
Kelly and see il he wouldn't re-
call one of them.
The board objected to the two
stenographers on the ground that
there isn't enough work for them
with the departure of Circuit
Judge James Z. Spier into the
Army.

Harper Cites
War Plant Tax
Droin Commissioner
Reveals Action

Just returned from the Con-
vention of the Michigan Munich
pal League which was held in
Kalamazoo. Mich, on Wednes-
day and Thursday, William {.
Harper, president of Roseville,
and county drain commissioner,
today declared that the league
had passed a resolution in favor
of the Peterson Bill.
The bill, sponsored by Sen.
Peterson (Fla.) would make the
government pay the munlcipali-
ties for services they afford de-
Tense plants in their vicinity
The plants, being government
property. are immune to city
taxes. Yet, while they use city
roads, and civic property, they
do not contribute towards the
upkeep of the property. The
Peterson Bill would dispose OF
this problem, with the govern
ment taking over the response
bilities of the defense plants in
this case, taking the load off the
taxpayers themselves.
Said Harper, 1--WE in Macomb
County are vitality affected by
the enactment of any legislature
which will compel the u. s. gov
eminent to alleviate the distress
that has been imposed upon
such counties as Macomb county.
1T is the duty Of the entire
nation TO pay its share Of the
cost for national defense, since
these plants were established
primarily for the defense of our
nation"
Also attending the Municipal
League convention were Walter
Pratt, village clerk Of st. Clair
Shores; George Francis. attor-
ney, Roseville, and August
Peters, Roseville treasurer.

Berlin Claims
Czeths Landed
in Yuqos|avia
American, British
Officers Advise
Guerrilla Forces

LONDON, Oct. 8 - (P) The
Free Yugoslav radio announced
today the presence of American
and British officers at partisan
headquarters a short time after
German sources reported a
small Allied force had entered
the Balkans.
The broadcast gave no details
as to the number of Allied Off
GERS at hand but it confirmed a
previous report from Cairo that
several had gone to the head
quarters of both Gen Draja Mi
hailovic and Drug Tito.
The information gave signifi-
canoe TO a statement last night
by King Peter who told his peo-
pie 1.-The day of deliverance is
not far off"
A dispatch to Stockholm from
Nazi-controlled Budapest last
night said Czecho-Slovakian
brigade equipped and trained by
the British in the Middle East
had landed in Yugoslavia to CO.
operate with gpartlsan forces.
LAND ASSISTANCE
II the report is true. the bril-
gade constitutes the first Allied
force in the Balkans since
Greece fell in April, l941.
The Czechs were said to have
gone ashore on the coast Of
Montenegro either at Budva or
Ulcini under the leadership of a
Biigadier Rizicka, a former
lieutenant colonel in the Czech
army
Taxing official notice for the
first time of the differences be-
tween Gen. Mihallovic and his
Chetniks and Tito and his Parti-
san followers, King Peter, in his
message broadcast from Cairo,
declared:
II am sure the majority Of my
people have been deeply con-
cerned and saddened by the in
sufficient harmony among Yu-
goslavs both IN that country and
abroad in their efforts to defeat
the enemy and restore Yugo-
slavia
I'VE are all one family and
we know our disagreements
have roots deep in history and
we know equally we'll that fam
lily quarrels always happen to be
most acute ones"

that the goal of "a strong, united
and stable Yugoslavia" could be
achieved. He said the present

Chesterfield
Acts to Curb
Gang-Hunting

Chesterfield township prop
erty owners will meet Tuesday
evening at eight o'clock in the
township hall to formulate plans
for hunting control, Adolph Yer
user, one of the founders of the
movment said today.
The entire area owned or con-
trolled by the farmers group is
posted as unit, using uniform
signs bearing THE name of the
organization. Under the provis-
ions of this plan a responsible
person may hunt after obtaining
permit from farmer member
of the group.
Veryser believes that this plan
eliminates gang hunting" and
roadside parking. Hunters ben
eft under the plan because the
areas are not likely TO be over
hunted" and seed" or breed
ing stock is assured for the fol-
lowing year.

Propose New
Road Taxes
Three Year
Program Revealed

An ambitious three year coun-
~ road program was advocated
today by Floyd Finch, chairman
of the Macomb County Road
Commission, who appeared be-
fore the Macomb County Board
of Supervisors requesting a one
mill tax be appropriated by the
county TO cover the cost of such
a project.
The road commissioners plan
to start 81 the program as soon
as the funds we're available, he
said. The road program is not
designed TO improve the road
situation in any one part OF the
county but would be q project
covering the entire county.
In discussing the proposed
project, Finch pointed out on .
specially prepared map, the ma
ture of the improvements. The
Board of Supervisors referred
the petition to the Road Com
mittee of the Board which was
instructed to meet with the road
commissioner and discuss the
situation fully.

Deep Silence
Shrouds Wake
Result Of Attack
Still UnreveoIed
By The Associated Pres.

Silence still shrouds American
activities at Wake Island, for
the moment the focal point of
the many-tentacled war of the
Pacific.
The bombardment of Wake,
announced Wednesday, can be
only one of two things: Either a
continuation of a series of Amer
lean task force raids similar TO
those upon the Marshall and
Gilbert Islands earlier this au-
tumn. or the first step in an at
tempt 10 drive the Japanese out
of the Central Pacific, thus
opening channel for supplying
the Philippines or for other &C
tons in the war Western Pacific.
The tip-off is whether the
force included landing parties.
II il did, and the purpose of the
attack is to take stolen Wake
back again; the Central Pacific
campaign may be on.
The Navy, after its brief in
itial announcement that the at
tack by warships and carrier
based planes commenced Tues
day, said nothing.
Elsewhere in the Pacific the
picture was pleasant today for
the Allies. Villa. an important
airbase on Kolombangara Island
in the SolomonS, was reported
by General MacArthur's head
quarters TO have been evacuated
by the Japanese, who also were
attempting TO withdraw their
troops from the entire southern
end of that island. The COM
munique said Allied aircraft had
sunk number of barges and
small boats, inflicting heavy cas-
ualties. although some Japanese
did get safely away to other is
lands.

Capt. Colman May
Face Civil Trial
Senator Homer Ferguson
Probes Possible Action

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-1P)-
The War Department at the re-
quest of Senator Ferguson (R-
Mich, is investigating whether
the case of former Colonel Will
liam T. Colman at Selfridge
Field, Mich can be referred 20
a civilian court.
Colman's rank was reduced to
captain and he was barred from
promotion for three years upon
conviction of court martial on
charges of drunkenness and US
ing a pistol carelessly resulting
in the wounding of Negro pri-
vate at the field.
Senator Ferguson said today
he had received from Under-sec-
rotary Patterson assurances that
the department was anxious to
cooperate in bringing the case
10 final settlement.
Ferguson and Representative
Shafer (R-Mich) contend that a
court martial verdict was not se-
we're enough. The Senator said
there was a possibility that CT
william courts had jurisdiction in
some cases at the Army field and
that Colman could be retired.
Widespread editorial criticism
of the Colman court martial 5
findings have brought in a wave
of indignant letters from rela-
ties of servicemen in virtually
all sections of the nation. Chica-
go, Detroit, Mount Clemens and
East Coast publications, in par
ticular have received a veritable
