able contribution, $1,000. An
other contribution of that size
was offered by another person
and rejected, state officials said.
lest the motives of the donor be
misunderstood.
State officials and employees
not under civil service have
been asked to contribute / per
cent Of their annual salaries,
Dethmers said, but he insisted
there was nothing compulsory
about it.
At the insistance of national
chairman Harrison E. Spangler.
n AN
state administrative board agreed
yesterday to the plan TO keep the
meeting on a strictly invitational
basis, with rank and file party
members excluded. Spangler has
said II should be a working SEES

Leaves for Florida

Capt. Robert w. Younger,
who has been visiting at the
home Of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
X. Walters, Grand avenue, will
leave shortly w tn his wife
Betty Walters and infant
daughter. Linda Jean, for Tam
pa, Fla, where he will assume
new duties.
Capt Younger recently re-
turned from the South Atlantic
area, where he spent - months
flying patrol bombers against
enemy U-boats, which continu-
ally seek allied conveys. These
patrol bombers rescue seamen
from torpedoed mercha~ ships
and aviators, who are forced
down at sea, thereby SAVING men
who will go out and fight again.
Such pilots live a life Of almost
unsurpassed loneliness but they
arc able TO come up smiling.
As he told the story Capt. Young
er said, I'VE get uset. to the
loneliness and the isolation, be-
cause we know we are doing a
job of vital importan but just
the same it's good to be back
where yoL can see whole po-
tato =. not a dehydrated one"
He became tired of the same
food every day and wanted most
of all to have hamburge s, milk,
and showers when he reached
the u. S. however, like his
fellow pilots, the Captain thinks
the thrill of patrolling the ocean
is ample compensation.

Ford. Pearson
Foot Race is
Proposed

DETROIT, Aug. 26 - (P) -
A proposal that Henry Ford and
Drew Pearson, Washington news
commentator, stage a foot race in
downtown Woodward avenue,
has been advanced by the De-
troit Retail Merchants Associ-
alton.
Offering to provide a cleared
street for the foot race - or any
other kind of a contest OF ath-
letic proves - the merchants
stipulated only that the loser
shall pay the winner with at
least one $18.75 war bond to
start off Detroit's drive.
1t all started when Pearson, n
broadcast last Sunday, made
reference to Ford's health as
giving concern to his friends
Ford Immediately replied with
a challenge to meet Pearson in
any kind of a contest, jumping,
running, cycling or whatever he
chose, to prove he was in excel
lent health.
Il never felt better in my life, y
Ford asserted.
Pearson in Washington, &C
cepted the challenge, saying
Warily:
The last time | saw Henry
Ford confess that he looked like
formidable adversary. But l
accept the challenge
Ford's return from his sum-
mer cottage in the Huron
mountains was awaited today
for the next development in the
proposed contest.
