 The British armored force has pushed ahead however with for ward patrols and has reached a point 12 miles south of Creteville, which has placed them near the center of the Peninsula's base. They have deployed to other areas where some troops on the Peninsula are attempting to get away. The at tempted escape of the enemy fore es in some cases amounted to all most panic.
 The Allied Air forces are attack ing those attempting to escape both on land on sea. Many boats laden with soldiers have been sunk and the men clung desperately to rafts after the vessels submerged. In some instances the escapees tried to ward off air attacks by waving white flags.

But Stars Like If When Makeup Destroys
 Their Identity
By ROBBIN COoNs

HOlJLH Y WOOD-ODe llIIle, III HIS early days as a press agent, an en- ergetic young man we shall call Frank Perrett, because that is his true hancock, thought he had come up with a new one.
 The gateman,' said he, with art ful enthusiasm, to his boss, failed to recognize Colleen Moore when she came through the studio gate this morning!" Colleen was play ing an old woman that day for So Big" the time was 1925).
 The boss just smiled and said the gateman not-recognizing- the star-story was such old stuff that no one, not even an enthusiastic Perrett, could get it in print again Whereupon, a bet was made. 4 story was written that Colleen made up as an old lady, was i'm mediately recognized by the gate man.
 The perpetrator of that harmless phony didn't know, and may not know until he reads this, how close he was to the truth. For a gate man who can't recognize the stars of his lot, no matter how they are made up, isn't worth his weight in film.
 Let's give the poor, maligned gateman five minutes to refute the slander Our spokesman will be Irving Gibbs, now at Twentieth Century, who's been watching them come and go for more than 2s years.
 The truth of the matter" says Brother Gibbs, lis that a gateman has to spot the stars, no matter what they have on their faces. But if he's got good sense, there's many time that he pretends he doesnt know them.
 Nothing deflates a star playing character role more than to have folks. recognize him through his makeup the first time he appears in it around the studio Just think the chances are he had to be in the makeup department by 5.30 in the morning and the boys worked or him until 9, putting on Whiskers building wrinkles and maybe add ing a scar here and there. Makeup men love to put scars on actors l don't know why. Boy, did we have a time when they made Black Swan and had all those piratesl
 One of our players is Lee Cobb who's a little over 30, but he al ways plays old men. For The Moor Is Down he wears wig of thin- nish white hair and a scraggly mus tache. Lige good gateman, part of whose job is to help keep every body happy, I pretended I didn't know him and made him show me his studio pass. Boy, he was flat teredl
 I'd never met OrSon WelleS be- fore he came here for Jane Eyre. I'd heard different ideas about him but I've learned since he is a regu- lar fellow. Anyway, the first day ht came in all fixed up in dark make up with his hair wild. something done to his nose, and I said, polite ly, Good morning, MT Welles. Brother, that was unkind. I coul6 see him vince. l shouldn't have done it."

A 29-year-old Warren town
ship war worker today sought
shelter for his family after he
ignored flames that enveloped
his frame home at 6906 IL mile
road early Monday to rescue his
wife, %, and their three small
children.
The man, Charles Mackenzie,
carried his wife and eight
months-old son to safety, then
broke a window and took his
other two sons, aged 5 and 2,
from their bedroom. The older
boy was attempting to dash
through the blaze to their par
ents when Mackenzie stopped
them.
Mackenzie severely cut his
left hand in breaking the win
dow, according to Warren Fire
Chief William Van Houlle.
The fire, started by an over
heated Oil circulator, quickly
made the interior of the house
an inferno. Only the walls stood
today and all of Mackenzie
furniture. valued at $1,000, was
destroyed.
The family also lost all
clothes. Wrapped in blankets
supplied by neighbors, the five
were taken to the home of rela-
tives.

Justice Emerson r. Boyles held

Neil E. Reid of Mt. Clemens
leading both of them, in the
three-way race for two State
Supreme Court seats. on the
basis of combined official and
unofficial returns today from
the April 5 election.
The new totals placed Boyles
ahead again in his see-saw con-
test with Chandler, by a mar
gin of only 588 votes. He had
trailed Chandler by about l.
900 votes in the last solely UNI
official tabulation. Reid held a
lead of more than 1000 votes
over Boyles.
Included in the new tabula-
ton were the officially cam
vassed reports of n counties.
Five of the other counties were
complete but unofficial, while
IL Mackinac County precincts
still were missing. The COM
plete unofficial five are Char
levoix, Lenawee, Sanilac, st.
Clair and Wayne counties.
The new totals give Reid 1885,

Chandler 1926. The fourth
aspirant, Probate Judge Frank
L. McAvinchey of G en- e e e
County, had 70.901 votes.

Nicholas and two little friends
carried the dog up Broadway
until they reached the county

Monitor Leader reporter who,
lacking a car, appealed first TO
sheriff's deputies, then to city
police.
He found 10th the deputies
and the policemen indifferent
to the dogs ,ffering. mo, we
haven't time to take the dog
home" they said. Strangely,
none of them appeared busy.
Finally, policeman dropped
the morning paper long enough
to call the do~ warden. He re-
sponded quickly and thew the
whining dog into the rear of
his truck.
Asked by the reporter where
he intended to take the dog, the
warden, Harry Babcock said: Il
don't know. The dog hasn't got
a tag"
Babcock finally agreed to take
the dog to the home Of Nicho-

Nicholas dried his eyes, the re-
porter returned to his beat and
