Call Carroll
in Appeal
from Custer

Howard Carroll, Ware
Township attorney, and member
of the Michigan State Legisla-
ture, has been subpoened to APP
pear in Ironwood, Mich, on a
hearing of reinstatement TO the
bar of eX-Probate Judge Michael
K. Nolan of Gogebic County.
Carroll was one of five at
torney-members of the legis-
lature to try Nolan on charges of
misuse Of the secret marriage
code of the State of Michigan.
Nolan's conviction and conse-
quent removal from office re-
suited in his resignation from
the State Bar Association Of
Michigan.
AT the recent primary election
Nolan beat field of three COM
peting lawyers for nomination
to the probate judgeship of Co
gebic. 1t was because of this
vindication on the part Of his
constituents that caused Nolan
to seek reinstatement in the bar
association.

No Price Hike
at Chinese
Laundry Here

Despite higher costs for clean
ing compounds, scarcity of
wrapping paper, lack of help,
and the multitude of incidental
expenses involved in conduct
ing a laundry business, the zee
Chinese Hand Laundry is not
contemplating a price change to
higher brackets.
This fact was revealed to a
Monitor-Leader reporter today
when he wandered into Yee's
laundry in an attempt to check
reports that price increase
had been advocated by all Chi
nese hand laundries in a tri-
county area on shirts, sheets,
and coveralls.
Typical of the suave manner
in which most orientals address
strangers, we were informed
that no price rise was under
consideration and that the same
prices prevailed that had been
charged in l941.
BY odd coincidence, Pfc.
John zee, a proud member of
Uncle Sans Army was there
on furlough. His smooth and po-
lwite explanation of the laun-
dryss methods were clear des-
pite heavy lingual hurdle of
Chinese accent.
Upon questioning, Pfc. ~Yee
admitted that in his 20 months
Of service in the Army he had
"been around" but was now
stationed with the Cactus Divi-
sion in Texas. Pfc. John is the
only member of his race in his
outfit.
Of course John speaks Chin
csc fluently but had to confess
that the Japanese language
stopped him due to dialectical
differences. They could not I'M
derstand each other should
members Of these peoples meet,
he said, despite some similarity
in written language.
The laundry is strictly a fam
lily affair as all of them are relat-
ed in some way or another and
get along tremendously. Due no
doubt to the intense activity
that prevails in keeping the
city's populace clean.

At TIE end of most wars the
n army is accused OF extrava-
gance. waste and useless eX-
penditures.
Great masses of supplies are
unused and much OF the &C

War is, by its very nature,
an extravaganza.
AS long as the army is win
ming victories. its judgment
cannot be questioned.
In the Quarrels between Don
aid Nelson and the army the
army need only point 10 its
necessities and its victories.

concern himself with the do
nestle political reaction 10 the
armys demands for supplies.
Foreseeing the end OF the
war. Re may believe that pro-
duction for civilian use may be
accelerated.
The army dare not consider
these political factors, because
the army must stand ready TO
fight with all its equipment up
10 the moment that the enemy
is beaten and disarmed.
Itecan lose an almost-won war
by a lack Of supplies.
THE trend Of American pro-
l. duction has been moving
downward since November,
1913. Our production in July
was actually II per cent in
dollar value less than in No
vember.
At present schedules. the ac-
cumulations Of demands re-
quires that production next
December be 81 per cent higher
than during the month Of July.
The army now reports short
ages in light-heavy and heavy
trucks heavy artillery, heavy
munitions. heavy artillery NUM-
lions. aircraft bombs and tires.
