New Baltimore Suspends
Chesterfield Fire-Service
SquobbIs Over Delinquent
Tax Monies Prompts Action

If he can't get cash out Of
Chesterfield township Mayor
Harold G. Engelman, of New
Baltimore, at least would like
to have the boys" sit down and
talk the matters over.
To achieve that end he this
week ordered suspension of free
water and fire-protection serv-
ices to Chesterfield residents in
o r d er to bring Supervisor
Adolph Veryser and members of
the township board to terms.
The dispute between the two
units of government stems back
to 1891 when New Baltimore,
previously a section of Chester
field township, was incorporated
as q city.
City officials charge that de-
linQuent tax monies collected by
the township are rightfully
theirs.
The State Supreme Court,
however, ruled otherwise in the
Fall Of 1941 and, in addition to
the $4,000 earmarked as right
fully Chesterfield's, indicated
that the city owed the township
50 900 more collected after in
corporation.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1943-03-03

Veryser isn't saying much.
1--WE won the first decision and
we're starting another suit that
we'll win," he pointed out. For
some reason they seem to want
to start trouble for us. They
know they owe us the money"
he said confidently.
Engelman maintains that
morally we are right regardless
of legal technicalities" and in
sists that township board men,
bers sit down with New Balti-
more City Council members and
arrive at some sort of satisfac-
tory settlement.
To date, according to Engel-
man, township officials have
SHE'D away from any such ses-
sion.
AS a result Engelman took the
drastic action concerning fire
protection and free water serv-
ice which, he hopes, will con-
vince Chesterfield authorities
that the time is ripe for financial
settlement.

Three Bombers Lost
on Continued Roids

LONDON. March 3 - (P) -
Detectives in western Germany
were attacked again last night
by the Raj, the air ministry
announced today. acknowledging
that three allied aircraft were
missing after the seventh sue
cessive night of raids on con-
tinental targets.
The ministry did not identify
last nights targets. 1t said also
that mines were laid in enemy
waters.
The Berlin radio announced
that British air raiders were over
western Germany last night and
the German-controlled Paris
radio told of attacks on occu-
pied France.
The Berlin broadcast said that
comparatively few planes par
ticipated in the raids on Ger
many and spoke of bad weather
over the continent. The Ger
mans acknowledged, however,
that the Raj raiders had caus-
ed some casualties and damage
to buildings. They reported
one British bomber shot down.
Contrary to expectations the
Germans failed to retaliate for
Monday nights smashing Raj
raid on Berlin by striking back
at London with one of their
customary face-saving attacks
last night
For the third successive night
the ministries of air and home
security reported that not sim
gle German plane came over
Britain during the hours of dark
ness.
Reuters reports from Stock
holm, meanwhile, declared that
great fires still were raging last
night in the German capital as
a result of the worst pounding
il has received from the Raj
since the start of the war.

BY CARL c. CRANNIER

Associated Press War Editor
Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's
new offensive finally has forced
the Germans to withdraw from
the tenaciously held hedgehog
fortress of Rzhev, 100 miles
northwest of Moscow, the Nazis
acknowledged today.
In Berlin, where fires still
ragged from the Raj greatest
raid of the war on the German
capital, Nazi warlordS had other
worries, too.
The British air force struck at
Western Germany for the sew
enth consecutive night, though
on comparatively modest scale.
The fall of Rzhev was not
claimed by the Russians, who in
fact did not so much as mention
that front in either today's mid
day communique or the war bull
letins of yesterday.
The German High command,
however, said the fortress had
been cleared of German forces
according to plan"
GENERAL RETREAT?
This phraseology suggested
that the Germans might be en-
C>ged in a far-reaching retreat
on the northern front, similar to
that carried out through the past
three months in the south where
they had withdrawn 400 miles
from Stalingrad.

Members of the sub-commit-

an explanation of the casualty

testimony that on Feb. 8 the to-

Draft Officials Seek
Use Of D. T.. Schools
To Aid lIIiterates
Superintendent Hoycoek
Refers Request to
Board Of Education

Public school officials have been
approached by selective service
headquarters on their willingness to
expand their services to military
men handicapped by partial litter
acy. Supt. of Schools Robert L. Hay
cock said today.
Mr.. Haycock said he had indicated
such request should 60 to the
Board Of Education, because it in
wolves a question of policy and Of
possible appeal for additional funds.
Il anticipate that selective service
may eventually bring a proposal on
expansion of classes for illiterates to
the Board of Education Mr.. Hay
cock said.
Several hundred adults now VOL
unfairly attend elementary classes
in elementary subjects at both COL
ored and white schools. Any
marked expansion of the program
to include illiterates referred by Sc
lective Service headquarters would
necessltate employment of additional
teachers, the superintendent ex-
planned. He has indicated his will
ingness to undertake such expan-
sion, he said, subject to approval of
the board.
Illiterates are no longer rejected
by Selective Service headquarters, it
was explained, but the Army has
found that a fourth-grade knowl-
edge Of reading tends to make the
soldiers training quicker and more
satisfactory. For that reason, es-
tablishment of widespread tlliteracy
classes is being discussed.
