Among the many harbingers of spring, one of the most consistently recurring is Athletes Foot. Almost every adult gives refuge to the Ath- letes Foot germ or fungus. Warm weather, exercise, and increased sweating all tend to bring the germ to renewed and discomfiting actiV- ity. It is moisture-rather than con- tact with other people in public swimming pools, clubs and gymna- siums--that provides ideal condl- tions for a flourishing case of Ath- letcs Foot.

COST is DETERRENT

Bowling indicated he has hest
tant about calling a grand jury
investigation as suggested by
Mayor Jeffries' inter-racial com
mittee in view Of the great public
expense.
At the same time, Bowling re-
vealed that studies conducted by
seven agencies under Gov. Kellys
fact-finding committee failed to
produce sufficient evidence of a
need for grand jury action.
t he governors investigation
was conducted by the army intel
ligence service. the FBI, the navy
intelligence service, state and De-
troit police. attorney generals in
vestigatorS and agents of the
prosecutors office.
On the other hand, Bowling
said he would be willing TO petit
ton for grand jury investigation
If the mayors committee has
any evidence, no matter how
slight to necesSitate calling it.
MUST HAVE EVIDENCE
"UnleSs there is some evil
dence with which we can start"
Bowling explained, IAN investl-
cation Of this kind might result
in a 'whitewash,' and 1 won't be
party to it,"
Police Commissioner Wither-
spoon concurred with Bowling.
IF such a grand jury were
started" Witherspoon said, "the
police would be used as the In
vestigating agency. II is already
investigating. A grand jury .
would just be an extra burden
on the taxpayers"
Bowling admitted difficulty in
filing charges against riot partici-
pants because of lack of eye-wit-

American
Maps New
London
BY VERA BROWN

c. Howard Crane, former De-
troit architect, who in the last
10 years has designed some Of
Europe'S finest modern buildings,
is back in Detroit today from
London.
And he is Cpl. Crane of the
Home Guard.
Flying here from the British
capital. he is discussing plans for
a great American Center, mod
eled after New York's Rockefeller
Center. which will rise in London
after the war. 1t will house
American industries and probably
our embassy. But il will be only
100 feet tall, or nine stories, TO
bow to London's building code.
Says Cpl. Crane:
NEW DESIGNS FUNCTIONAL
Light and air are the factors
which will govern rebuilding in
the British Isles after the war.
Our. designs, which are being
carefully drawn now in London
offices, will be good modern
Those old buildings are
beautiful TO look at but deucedly
uncomfortable to live in, don't
forget"
Crane designed London's famous
EarlS Court Center, largest build
ing IN the city, whose center hail
would hold all of Madison Square
Garden with room to spare. 1t
covers 1914 acres.
ut has been blitzed three
times but IL still stands to house
war industries" Crane said.
Mrs. Crane, by the way. is
teaching English girls to cook
hamburgerS, egg sandwiches and
make apple pie which American
boys love. The Red Cross set her
up in a kitchen to help provide
food for our boys over there which
suits their American taste.
GORGEs ON EGGS
Said Crane, who left London
Saturday night and dined in New
York with Frank Andrews of the
New Yorker Hotel Monday night:
"Since ! landed I've been eat
