New Red Gross
Quota $4,000
Merrill Reveals
War Requirements

John K. Merrill, chairman of
the NJ m b Chapter of the
American Red Cross, revealed
today that the county quota to
be raised in the War Fund cam
paign beginning March / has
been set at $4,000.
Nationally, the Red Cross
hopes to raise S125, 100000 to
carry its wartime burden.
The sharp increase in funds
sought, Merrill said, is due to
the need for a worldwide pro-
gram of service while in the
county the Home Service Com
mittee is giving aid to men and
families of men in service.
The chairman said that dur
ing December the local chapter
aided approximately 230 men in
service or to their families and
the number is steadily increas-
ing.
He pointed out that many
wives and mothers depend on
Red Cross help while waiting
for allotments from the govern
ment.
Merrill today appointed Bruce
Collins, of Utica, as drive chair
man.

Overs of the Shores Theatre

Circuit Judge James E. Spier's
courtroom to cancel the lease of
DR.. Eugene Boiler, 35-year-old

ing, among other things, that he

If the custer action is denied,
the owners ask that temporary
injunction issued against DR..
Boiler last June "a be made per-

DR.. Boiler was jailed for three
hours last August IA when
Judge Spier found him in con-
tempt of court for violating the
temporary injunction designed
to curb his alleged penchant for
splitting. He was freed when he
paid a $50 fine rather than serve
Is days.
The temporary injunction,
among other things, restrained
DR.. Boiler from throwing refuse

NEW YORK, Jan. 16-(R-
Japan may try to trick the Uni

a "jujitsu" peace plot, Former

warned today.
In an address prepared for de-
livery at the Women's National
Republican club luncheon, Grew
predicted that the Japanese will
pretend defeat, if necessary, to
catch the United States off
guard with a sudden, smashing
blow.
Grew, who as Ambassador in
Tokyo in January, 1941, warn.
ed his government of a planned
surprise mass attack at Pearl
Harbor' 10 months before it
took place, explained the posi-
bility of a "jujitsu" peace
maneuvre as follows:
