MEURER TOP TACTICIAN
Carl Meurer IS the best boiler

the top tactician in club course

foredeck expert Of many years

light canvas man, is the baby OF

Petzold wasn't just turning il

G. Albert Lyon. They'll likely
team up on an ocean racer.
You can rely on pctzold coming

AS usual the dyed-in-the-wooi

ACCIDENTS INEVITABLE
II Is expected before the small

usual toll of dead and injured will
mar the fun of hunting despite
numerous warnings by officials TO
be careful.
With many southern Michigan
counties closed to Sunday hunting
the khaki-clothed army will be
forced to travel greater distances
TO reach choice pheasant territory.
Only counties near Detroit open
on the Sabbath are parts OF
Wayne and Oakland counties. Ma
comb and Jackson. Townships in
Wayne County closed to Sunday
hunting are Greenfield, BEDFORD,
Plymouth, Gratiot, Hamtramck,
Crosse Pointe, Worthwhile and
Livonia.
CLOSED TO HUNTERS
In Oakland County IL is unlaw-

Crosse lie and BEDFORD townships
in Wayne are also closed to hunt

Bag limits on pheasantS
troosters only remain the same
as last season, two per day, four
in possession and eight for the
season. Hunters returning home
Monday evening from closed Sun
day hunting areas are permitted
only two ringnecks in their pos
session.
OF course II they hunt in a
county open TO Sunday shooting
that's a different story provided
they shot two of their bag in that
county Sunday. On the other
hand, hunters are warned that
game officials can easily tell If a
bird has been killed the day be-
fore.

Changes in. Reports
OF Tests al Wright |
Plane Plant Charged
BY the Associated Press,


CINCINNATI, April GA pretty
young laboratory technician testi-
fed today that reports on tensile
strength failures in aluminium bars
being tested for use in airplane en-
gine cylinder heads were erased and
changed in the Office of an official
of the Wright Aeronautical Corp.
The witness in the fourth day of
a court-martial of three Army Air
Force officers-Lt Col. Frank c..
Glenlich, Maj. Walter A. Ryan and
Maj. William accused
of neglect of duty and conspiracy
in aircraft engine inspection was
Mrs. Jeanne Miller.
I'VE took failures (bars which
failed to test to specifications) to
David Longeauville, our supervisor
in the laboratory in his Office, and
the reports came back erased and
changed to passing" she told the
11-man court.
Mrs. Miller testified that Mr..
Longeauville had told her to pass
bars on tensile strength tests If
they were only slightly outside of
specifications and spoke to her once
because she had not done this.
Capt. William E. Miller, no rela-
ton, assistant defense counsel, asked
her if a bar which failed because
of a flaw could be used for some
thing besides cylinder heads and she
replied that Mr.. Longeauville had
told her they could be.
She said that although an Army
civilian inspector was stationed in
the laboratory when operations first
started at the plant he was with
drawn about year later and then
appeared only at intervals to drop
in and walk out
Col. Park Holland, counsel fol-
Col. Greulich, asked if she knew
what the Army did about testing
aluminium bars and she replied that
she did not see the bars after they
left the laboratory.
Mrs. Miller told Col. Charles M
Chapman, a member of the court
that changes in her reports were
made over my signature"
Hubert Routt, an Army inspector
who said he had gained part of his
Experience with engines by building
racing cars, testified that defective
pinions at one time held up 400 en-
Igines at the plant for repairs.
He said that Ray Clark, CHIEF
AAF inspector at L,ockland. had or
dered them held up. Mr.. Routt
testified also along lines previously
developed by the prosecution re-
garding master-rod bearings which
the Government contends were de.
fective, lack of official rejection
stamps, interference with efforts te
reject parts and lack of copies OF
manuals for inspection.

Swastika Emblem
To Be Given Rankin
ByUAW-C|0Veterans

A swastika to express the "con-
tempt" of CIO veterans of the
World War and this one was to be
presented today to Representative
Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi
because OF his leadership in the
fight TO pass the States right" ver-
|sion of the service vote legislation
in the 1914 elections.
A resolution providing for the
presentation of the Nazi emblem
was adopted shortly after a confer
|ence of $50 veterans of both wars,
members of the United Automobile
Workers. CIO, convened at the
Statler Hotel for a two day session
to discuss problems facing dis
charged war veterans.
Leader of the delegation appointed
by the conference to visit Mr..
Rankin was Wendell Hardy, IS, of
Joliet, Ill, a veteran of seven Pacific
naval battles. Mr.. Hardy, gunner's
mate, second class, served in the
Navy for more than three years
before he was discharged last Sep
tember. He saw his first action at
sPesrl Harbor and was blown of the
cruiser San Francisco during, its
heroic engagement with superior
Japanese forces at Guadalcanal
during the night of November 1913.
Thomas Hits Congress.
A TRADE against certain groups in
Congress also was delivered by r. j.
Thomas, president of the UAW, CIO.
These Congressman who talk
about our men dying for democ-
racy," Mr.. Thomas said, won't
even give these men a change to
vote" :H 4 10
I've see disunity in Congress
where men stand on the floor and
make anti-Semitic and anti-raciaI
sperches and are cheered while our
men are fighting so that Naziisn
and Fascism should be wiped of the
race OF the EARTH" the union leader
declared.
Mr.. Thomas said that the problem
OF providing full employment after
the war Is one that rests with
business and industry and that if
these elements cannot guarantee
jobs for every one it will be the
duty OF the Government to provide
such assurances.
The only hope of servicemen for
jobs and justice in the postwar world
is close cooperation with labor" he
said. ;,
Discuss Affiliation.
One of the questions to be consid-
cred by the conference is whether
union veterans shall affiliate with
existing veterans organizations or
should set up new group. Such
problems as security, education, re-
habllitation and other Government
assistance will also be discussed.

and Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey.

Bill 10 Draft 4-Fs
Into War Industry
Delayed by Costello

Legislation to force AIS into war
work will be held up until the House
Military Affairs Committee gets a
full report on the manpower re-
quirements Of war industries and the
number of AIS available to fill the
jobs, Chairman Costello of a sub
committee working on the 4-F pro-
gram declared today.
The committee, he said, was in ia
vor Of getting the administrative
machinery under way and seeing the
results of an inventory before recon-
mending legislation to bring COM
pulsion into the picture.

by the Costello Conmitte to deter
mine how many of the ,400, 900 4-F's

4-F's themselves have been urged
to seek war jobs in their own COM
munities or report to their draft
boards that they are willing to move
to other areas to 60 into essential
work.
Mr.. Costello said the committee
wanted to know how many ATS are
available and how great a man
power shortage actually exists in
order to determine how much COM
pulsion is needed to meet current
manpower requirements. He pre-
dicted that it would take some
time" to work out a legislative pro-
gram satisfactory to the armed
forces, selective service and Con-
gress.
II manpower requirements can
not be met with men under 26

Court 'BIunder' Puts South
In Danger, Rankin Says

Representative Rankin, Democrat
OF Mississippi, believes the Supreme

Negroes may vote in primaries ir
Texas and as result "the South
is in grave danger"
mot only are the white people
being betrayed by a lot of alien.
minded crackpots here in Washing.
ton, but the Negroes of the South
are having their last hope of peace
and harmony with their white
neighbors destroyed" Mr.. Rankin
said in a statement yesterday.
Commenting on the Justice De.
partment's decision to investigate
how the ruling affects primaries in
other Southern States, Mr.. Rankin
said:
"The parlor pinks in the Depart
ment of Justice are already starting
IN to harass the Southern States
as result Of the recent blunder
of the Supreme Court. They will
probably indict election officials
from all over the South for con-
spiracy, drag them to Washington
and try them before a biased jury
picked from the Federal payroll"

Macarthur Command
Due 10 Stand Even
II HaIsey Is Shifted
BY the Associated press,


ALLIED HEADQUAR TERS,
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, April g.
Regardless of any future change in
the status Of the South Pacific area
or alterations in its present COM
mand, 1t is reliably believed Gen.
Douglas Macarthur will continue In
complete direction of Southwest Pa
cific offensives, both operational and
strategically.
Some question of Gen. Mac
Arthur's position developed with dis
closure by newspaper correspondents
lat South Pacific headquarters that
Admiral William F. Halsey, who has
been in direct command there since
August, 1912, may soon be relieved
of his command and assigned an
important new post.
No Change in Long Range Plans.
There is every indication here
that If such change occurs 1t will
not affect Gen. MacArthur's control
of operations within the present
sphere of activity or influence his
long-range plans in any way.
Gen. Macarthur assumed opera
tional command Of South Pacific
forces operating IN the Southwest
Pacific last year when, to undertake
the New Georgia invasion, they
crossed the dividing line between
South Pacific and Southwest Pacific
areas.
Since that time these South Pa
cif1c combat forces have been on
Grating almost exclusively within
Gen. MacArthur's territorial field
of command.
Forces Near Juncture.
At present the South Pacific
forces, directly under Admiral
Halsey, and Southwest Pacific forces,
Immediately under Gen. Macarthur,
have virtually effected a juncture.
Whether or not this means they
actually will be combined remains
to be seen, but in any case the
ground campaign launched from
South Pacific bases appears to have
reached its logical conclusion.
On March Gen. Macarthur, in a.
communique announcing a landing
in the Admiralty Islands, declared
this marks the final stage In a
great swinging move pivoting ~on
New Guinea which has been the
basic purpose of operations initiated
June 90, 1943, when Southwest
Pacific area and South Pacific area
were (operationally) tied under
Gen. MacArthur's command. The
axis of advance has thereby been
changed from north to west.

campaign now clearly Is in

the style Of the Victorian and Sec
ond Empire period, Miss Miller Sc
lected 18th century reproductions
for the first two floors as an ex-
ample of contemporary good taste in
American home furnishing. The
rooms are given modern note by
use of ceiling high mirror panels,
