ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 11.-Tom
Harmon, Michigan's counterpart Of
football immortal Red Grange, was
q serious minded Army pilot in the
battle filled skies over China where
he has been reported missing since
October 80.
AS his family and friends hoped
and prayed for his second deliver
ance from mishap in the air, bits of
his religious fervor were cleaned
from letters received recently from
the former all-America halfback.
Fighter Pilot Harmon wrote the
Rev. F. Frank McPhillps, chaplain
of st. Mary's Catholic student
chapel, that he had flown 500 miles
to attend a Sunday midnight mass
In China, because there was no
church near our base"
If ever man says he has no fear
in combat, he's a liar" wrote the
hero of scores Of football battles.
But that one evening in church
gave me more comfort, strength and
confidence than I've yet experienced
in China"

that people wouldn't even steal
EN-"
He was epitomizing a Christmas
tree situation that found uncounted
hundreds OF trees scattered in lots
across the city's broad domain.
Some dealers made bonfires; others
got drunk; but all were bitter about
a capricious season that had begun
on a shortage basis and then glut-
ted the market.
Arthur Bailey OF New Orleans.
sustained one OF the largest single
losses, more than 5000. He sat on
pile OF evergreens and almost lit

In eight lots scattered all over

sale. As OF today he had 5000, nor
did he know what to do with them.
The only person to make any
money out OF this" he moaned,
was the Standard Oil and Com
monwealth Edison Companies" He
explained he had rented the lots
from Standard and purchased cleo
tricity from the Edison Company.
William G.. Newbould, who has
been selling evergrens for Is years,
said he lost 500, his first loss In

short order.
If the board doesn't act" he
predicted. then you nigh see the
entire steel industry shut down. ="
As matters now stand. nightfall
may ind as many as $500 steel
workers idle in manufacturing,
fabricating and processing plants
over the nation unless something
happens to change the trend. Last
nights barometer indicaed that the
strike was on, and It probably
would take q personal order from
Murray to stop tin much the
same manner as UNIV Boss Louis
and his coal miners.
At Midland, Pa, about $500
workers walked on the Job at Cru
chile Steel Company, despite the
fact their contract does not expire
until mid-January. In Pittsburgh
pickets repeatedly turned away
some 500 members OF the night
shift at Union Steel Company.
All told, PA company-union
agreements died over the week
end. and virtually all we're ex.
pected to be affected in some way
today. How quick the strike is
ended depends entirely on the
Scots-born chief OF the CLIO, who
also heads the Steelworkers' I'm
