Telephone repairmen worked
feverishly today 10 repair a major
underground cable break which
plunged Detroit into its gravest
telephone crisis in recent years
and threatened the city's entire
phone communications system
Subscribers in nine large eX-
changes in the northwest section
were affected Saturday night
when a large DSR feeder line
touched a telephone cable conduit.
Reason for the contact was not
learned Immediately. since the
cables run at right angles TO each
other and the DSR cable is a foot
above the telephone line.
The telephone lines were burned
and disintegrated for 10 feet and
the DSR line was charred for
4 feet. causing heat so intense
that the street buckled and the
snow on the ground turned 10 boil

reduced to a molten mass, phone

Two Dealers

Illegal Sales
Patrons Apprehended
With Arms Full Six
Hours After Order

With two Detroit shoe opera
tors under investigation for al.
legedly selling to would-be hoard.
ers less than six hours after a
surprise ration order had banned
shoe sales, OPA officials today
vowed 10 crush any attempt Of
.chiselers to create black market
in shoes.
Questioned by OPA enforcement
attorneys were Morris Rossman,
proprietor of shoe store at 9009
Twelfth street, and Harry Abram-
son, 9026 Twelfth, accused of SELF
ing shoes to all corners last night
in defiance of the ration order.
DISCOVERED BY RAIDS
The alleged violations were dis
covered in two raids conducted by
IOPA Attorney Samuel B. Ostrow
and Investigator Henry Bockoff,
who we're bolstered by Detroit
police.
In Rossman's shoe store the
lOPA officials found more than a
dozen customers making frantic
purchases. The authorities were
admitted to the store only after
police threatened to break down
the door.
In Abramson's Ideal Shore
Store were six customers.
Mrs. Lucille Vaudeville of 1889
Virginia Park, a Rossman Gus
toner, admitted to Ostrow that
she had purchased six pairs OF
shoes at 9:15 p. m. The proprietor
concurred reluctantly.
Signed statements were obtained
from Mrs. May Lipzitz of 1886

toned items, but deliveries of
shoes purchased before yesterday
and laid away for customers are

According 10 Economic Director

however. the average was three

Most Detroters will be able TO
get along on three pairs, but there

As this will be the first game for both clubs, not much is known about either team, but from all re- ports, the Whalers will bring a fairly clever outfit to test the Dies els.
 This will mark the initial time that any Electric Boat gridiron club has met the Whalers, yet the New Bedford club has been playing football longer than the Boatmen and annually have tough club to field.
 In reiteration, not too much is known about our own gang, yet Coach John Cawley has had over three weeks to get them to play more than an accordion in the Sal vation Army polka. If Cawley hasn't found anything in that time, you can make up your mind, Aunt Sadie, that he han't got anything there.
 It is the popular belief that Firp has got fairly decent club this year and with any form of luck should come out on the long end, lot better than he has in some years when things weren't too hot.
 Although the starting line is still very incoherent at the time this story is being written. it might be supposed that Cawley will start his forward wall something like this: Red Wallace and Joe Kane, ends; Chet Pudloski and Ross Cher ico, tackles; Joe Brennan and Dave Austin, guards, and Bud Fauser. center.
