money l do not know.
At any rate / told him he must
get himself a room until he could
afford TO keep the baby and me.

to have help with the baby. /
stayed with my parents from No
vember until February and during
this time / received no money from
my husband.

to see If l could make my husband
give me a portion of his salary.
The judge called us both in for
hearing and set the amount he
was 10 give me as $40 every two
weeks.
Well, my husband paid this once
or twice, am not sure now. He
was TO send the money to the
chief probation officer in Dear

my husband had left his room and

Five years later learned he was

British Officers Aid
Albanian GuerriIIas

LONDON, Nov. 4 up -
Prime Minister Churchill dis
closed today that British liaison
officers are now with forces of
Albanian guerrillas, who he said
are fighting by the thousands in
the mountains and are being
counted upon for a part lin the
future military developments in
the Mediterranean area"
In confirming that allied Off
GERS have been sent into Alban-
ia as we'll as Greece and Yugo-
slavia, the Prime Minister told
Commons that the British Off
GERS had paid high tribute to
the fighting qualities of the
guerrillas.
Churchills % m m emit was
made in reply TO question
about the government policy
toward the Albanian guerrillas
and he asserted the policy was
10 see Albania free from the
axis yoke and restored TO her
independence. Her frontiers. of
course, will be considered at the
peace settlement"

Probote Courts Efforts TO
Maintain Control is Spiked

of Port Huron, chairman OF the
survey committee, told the
group the judges have had a
chip on our shoulders" whenever
they found someone else work
ing on juvenile delinquency
problems in a manner they sus-
pected might encroach upon
their rights, but that "the fair
minded probate jude OF today
has concluded this is not a one
man job and that united effort
TO solve the problem was need
ed.
1t was Blacks proposed as
signments 10 committees which
touched off the tilt with BOWL
ing Black sought TO have l3
subcommittee created. Probate
judges constitute about two per
cent of the committees member
ship. He sought as per cent of
the chairmanships for judges,
and 20 per cent of the committee
assignments for them.
Judge Black told his col
leagues the current wave Of juv-
emile delinquency still has not
reached the height of one re-
corded in 1929, but that il was
very alarming" The press, he
said, has awakened" the people
to the gravity of the delinquency
rise, and a job must be done
quickly.
Bowling said he wanted stress
placed on preventing measures.
Fred r. Johnson, veteran
member of the State Corrections
commission, asserted Michigan
has done good job in setting
up an effective, non-political
adult corrections program. but
that because of controversy the
care of juveniles has been ne
elected by politicians. He de-
scribed patchwork of state,
federal, and local effort" in this
field, mixed with the work of
multiple private and other inter
ested agencies which did not get
along we'll together.
Sheriff William H. Nestle of
Ithaca suggested that feasibility
Of relaxing child labor laws
might we'll be explored, in the
theory that the right occupa-
ton for child out Of school
hours would keep him out of
mischief.
DR.. Eugene B. Elliott. state
Superintendent of Public In
struction. said il was evident
that the big problem" lay
among children IL to II years
old, and that busying them
might prove helpful if proper
safeguards against injury were
taken.

Italian King
Now in Naples
Possible Addiction
Believed at Stoke

NAPLES, Nov, 2-(Delayed)
-(P)-King Vittorio Emanuele
arrived incognito today from
Brindisi and although the pur-
pose of his visit is unknown il
was believed he would attempt
10 conner with Count Carlo
Sfora and other leaders who
favor his abdication as the first
step toward solving Italy's po-
litical dilemma.
A unimpeachable informant
disclosed that Sfors, former Ital-
ian foreign minister, had de-
clined to see the king at Brindisi
after arriving in Italy from the
United States.
Persons close TO Sforza said
he is adamant on the question Of
the Kings abdication.
He takes the position the king
betrayed the nation in permit
ting the rise of Fascism and that
only the withdrawal of the SOW
ereign as we'll as Crown Prince
Umberto can pave the way 10 re-
juvenation of the country. He
declares ne sees this as pre-
requisite not only 10 establish
ment OF new government but
for Italy's full participation in
the war.
All his remarks, while indi-
rect, indicated he was prepared
10 join Premier Marshal Pietro
Badoglio in forming a new gov
eminent on the condition the
king quits and regency is set
up for the Crown Princes son.
The Marshal's views thereon are
not known.
Most Italian political leaders,
however, apparently agree with
Sforza. The majority prefer GO
ing even further and establish
ing Republican form of gov
eminent Immediately.

LANSING, Nov. A. up -
Five subcommittee of Gov
ernor Kelly's Legislative survey
committee on youth delinquency
undertook today hurry-up
study of child welfare laws, hop
ing to prepare the way for a
constructive program to be sub
mitted to the Legislature in Jan
uary.
A group led by Prosecutor
William f. Bowling of Detroit
blocked what the prosecutor de
scribed as an effort by probate
judges to dominate the task, and
won an important voice in Sc
lecting the subcommittee.
Kelly, who had planned to sit
with the group briefly, changed
his mind and remained with it
through forenoon and afternoon
sessions, watching but taking no
apparent part in the meneuver-
ing for position.
NO MAGIC CURE
Conceding that no magic cure
for child delinquency lay in
anything the Legislature might
do or not do. Kelly said he be-
lieVed the state nevertheless
would be remiss if it failed to
overhaul its laws dealing with
youth welfare TO give younger
generations every assistance pos
sible.
Committee members said they
knew of a multiplicity of weak
nesses in the laws, and promised
10 buckle 10 their task, the sub
committees 10 report back 10 a
general meeting December 2
with specific recommendations
Kelly asserted this was "the
first meeting of this kind in the
state as far as ! can find out,
bringing together groups which
have worked independently in
the past - sometimes at cross
purposeS-for a common attack
upon the problem.
Prophetically, he said he did
not anticipate that the asSocia-
ton between probate judges and
others would be without friction,
but that he expected any trouble
10 be smoothed without guard
ing and protecting the so-called
rights and prerogstives Of GER
