.Evii(ters Fight
Own EviCtions

Two of Wayne County's four
circuit court commissioners, who
sign all eviction writs in the
4 Gnty. today found themselves
3enuously resisting attempts to
evict them from their offices.
Their plight follows the action
of the county circuit court judges
who started a "putsch" for more
space in the County Building and
wound up with their own space
periled.
Several weeks ago the circuit
court ordered county clerk Linge-
man TO find more room so the
courts affairs could be. handled
adequately. Lingeman started to
eye a portion of the space held by
county treasurer Kozaren.
LET GEORGE DO 1T
Alarmed he-latter suggested
his pay roll department could use
more space preferably on the
floor below, which is occupied
partly by Edwin J. Hakenjos,
clerk of common pleas court. Ha-
kenjos protested.
Fearful that a free-for-all Land
grab" might result. the board of
auditors stepped in to make
survey. The auditors finally de-
cided that the offices of circuit
court commissioners Weideman
and Cody. if vacated, would solve
the problem for everybody.
THEY WONT MOVE.
Weideman and Cody sent hot
letter TO the auditors. pointing out
that the Barlum Tower, where
II was proposed they be sent, is
overcrowded. Furthermore, they
said. they are part of the circuit
court which instigated the move
In the first place.
Finally, they declared, I'VE sign
eviction writs and we aren't go
ing 10 sign our own. We're not
going TO move.
There the matter rests.

Faulty Distribution
Returns Lamb, Cheese
To Rationing Sunday
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Housewives will have to take
their ration books to market
again in buying choice lamb cuts
and soft cheeses, and the butcher
will take one to two more points
a pound for beef steaks and
roasts beginning Sunday.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton, announcing point values for
the period from Sunday through
July 20, said today it was necessary
to put lamb chops, steaks and roasts
back under rationing because ma
tional distribution has not been
equitable. Values assigned range
from three points pound for some
chuck roasts to 10 points for loin
chops.
The supply Of beef steaks and
roasts will be smaller by IL per
cent in July, OPA explained in hik-
ing the point values to a record high.
A porterhouse steak, for example,
will cost IA points a pound, up two.
while a 7-inch cut standing rib
roast goes from eight to ten points
a pound.
"By increasing the points on some
beef steaks and roasts and estab-
fishing point values on preferred
lamb cuts, we hope to even out dis
tribution so that more. people in
more communities will get share,
limited though 1t may be, Of the
beef and lamb available" OPA Ad-
ministrator Chester Bowles -ex-
planned. He added that in some To-
calities 1t may be days or even
weeks" before the supply improves
The decision to put points bach
on lamb was made, OPA sale, when
three out OF four of the agency's 91
district Offices reported that choice
cuts were short of demand.
Because return of popular lamt
cuts to the chart Is counterbalanceo
by smaller supply of beef, house
wives will continue to get only sc
points a month for buying meat,
and fats. The allotment was 6(
points month before all meat ex-
cept choice beef was made ration.
free on May 4.
All pork, veal and the cheaper cuts
of beef and lamb remain point-free
and butter and margarine continue
at IL and 2 points a pound, respec-
lively.
Soft cheeses, the so-called perish
able varieties, including Swiss anc
cream. 60 from a point-free value
to 4 points a pound.

The patriot led American troops
TO the secret entrances of a small,
rose-covered mountain fortress
overlooking the harbor of Cher
bourg where, immune from bombs
and shells, the two German lead
ers and their staffs of 800 huddled
while Allied soldiers flushed the
gardens over their heads.
The hunt had gone on for two
hours until the Frenchman revealed
the hidden entrances to Maj. Frank
L. Gum of Charlottesville, Ga.
The mountain had been followed
into a vast cavern and labyrinth OF
tunnels, lined with concrete, to
quarter 5000 German troops. From
this point they controlled all the
harbor installations There were
two mountainside entrances. The
top sides were covered with sub
urban villas.
Maj. Gum. whose infantry COM
pany had suffered severe casualties
all morning, drew up all his men
with their rifles pointed at the en-
frances. He sent in a German pris-
oner, asking the garrison to sur
render. The prisoner returned and
said Won Schlieben was determined
that he and his followers would die
In the hill. Maj. Gum ordered his
men to throw in hand grenades as
far as possible, killing 80 of the de-
tenders.
Still there was no indication of
surrender. The American officers
drew up two tank destroyers be-
fore each entrance and poured in
fire from the 3-inch guns. In the
face of the fire a German soldier
crawled out with white flag. Just
then Mai. Gen. Joseph L. Collins of
Washington, 7th Corps commander
arrived and accepted the generals s
and admiral's surrender. The gen.
eral personally had beat the bushes

Gov. Dewey Follows
Roosevelt Pattern in
Flight 10 Convention
BY ]. A. O'LEARY,

CHICAGO, June 29.-The start O.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's campaign
for the presidency bore a striking
similarity to the manner In which
Franklin D. Roosevelt began hi!

years ago.
In 1882 Gov. Roosevelt of New
York few to this metropolis of the
Midwest to accept his first Demo.
cratic nomination.
Yesterday Gov. Dewey of New
York alighted from a plane at the
same Chicago airport, and was
driven in motor cavalcade to the
same stadium to become the GOF
standard-bearer of 1914.
As the delegates who chose him
packed their bags to 90 home to.
day, Gov. Dewey planned to remain
here for several days to confer with
party leaders on campaign plans.
Two-Draftee Campaign.
Three weeks hence the Demo-
Gratis will gather here for their ma
tional convention, with all indica-
tions that they will draft Mr.. Roose-
velt to seek fourth term.
If they do, this will be cam
paign between two draftees, for
Gov. Dewey refrained from making
any e-convention effort to get the
Republican nomination. While 9TH
ers were seeking the nomination
since early this year, Gov. Dewey in
sisted he was not a candidate. He
did not start for Chicago yesterday
until notified by Representative
Martin of Massachusetts,, conven-
tion chairman, by telegram at Alt
pm. that he had been selected to
carry the Republican banner this
year.
When his plane settled down on
the Chicago Municipal Airport at
7:30 o'clock last night. the youthful,
neatly groomed, former racket-bust-
ing district attorney received his
first taste of presidential campaign
ing.
Outside the fence that surrounds
the runways q crowd waited to
catch a glimpse of him. Inside the
fence cameramen and photograph
ers crowded around the plane, as
the nominee and his wife stepped
out.
Waves Straw Hat.
Gov. Dewey, wearing gray suit,
waved his straw hat in a greeting
to those who had journeyed to the
outskirts of the city to welcome him.
Mrs. Dewey, wearing a black coat
suit and white blouse, stood smiling
beside her husband while the news
reels and still cameras clicked
away. Gov. Green of Illinois and
Mrs. Green were waiting to greet
them.
Accompanying the Governor and
Mrs Dewey on the flight from New
York were: Paul E. Lockwood, the
Governors secretary; Elliott v. Bell,
superintendent Of New York State
banks: Hickman Powell, writer;
James c. Haggerty, executive as
sistant to Gov. Dewey; Miss Lillian
