WITH THE FIFTH ARMY, Ataly
=. "a Negro service unit is the
first to be presented with the Fifth
Army Plaque, an award of merit es-
tablished several months ago, the
War Department announced today.
The unit is one of three others
which have been similarly recog-
nized for service rendered at the
same time.
In the citation which accompan-
led the award, Lieutenant General
Mark w. Clark, Commanding Cen
eral of the Fifth Army, wrote:
Often in the face of serious OBJ
stacles and always with unswerv-
ing devotion to the supreme pur-
pose of destroying the enemy. you
have established an outstanding
record in the performance of SER
vices invaluable to the Fifth Army.
Each of you should feel justifiable
pride in a job well done, and in
your comrades and in your unit.
Especially you should take pride in
having so active a part in protect
ing and maintaining the principles
for which we fight"
The award was in recognition of
the units activities at an important

Full use of the unloading IA

much of the western front sup

crushing thrust into the Reich
over the shortest, best route to
Berlin.
Antwerp is in Allied hands
but enemy guns still dominate
its approaches, barring the way
to shipping. Clearing those ap-
proaches is conceded by military
men here to be one of the top
priority jobs on the western
front.

LANSING, Oct. 10 - up -
The State Hospital Commission
and the Lapeer Home and Train

State Court of claims today for
damages allegedly done to pri-
vate property by escaped pa
tients of the Institution.
Nineteen members of the Vasa
Country Club Of Detroit. who
own cottages adjacent to the In
stitution lands, sued for $1,000
damages, contending that an un-
specified number of mental pa
tients escaped from the Institu-
ton Dec. 10, 1943, and remained
on their property for upwards Of
"a hours before recapture, dam
aging personal belongings and
furnishings. Other such Incl
dents occurred earlier, the plain
tiffs contended.
The bill of complaint asserted
representation TO the Institu-
tional management drew only
rebuffs, that the management
asserted the patients were
harmless, and that it made little
attempt TO recapture escaped
patients.

Suit of the Detroit Edison Com
pany to block a State Public
Service Commission order that
it refund SlO,450,000 to its GUS
toners was ending in Circuit
Court today as the Commission
opened hearings to determine
whether it should enter a some
what similar order against the
Michigan Bell Telephone Co.
In each instance the Commits
sion seeks to require the utility
to so reduce its revenues by re-
funds or rate adjustments that
it would be exempt from paying
the Federal excess profits tax.
The Michigan Bell has advised
the Commission it expects to
pay $4,402,000 such taxes this
year.
Taking of testimony in the
Edison case ended Wednesday,
but counsel representing the
company and the Commission
disagreed on the next step.
Assistant Attorney General
James A. Williams contended
the testimony should be submit
ted to the Commission for study
and possible modification of its
original order, while the compa-
ny demanded that special trial
Judge Archie d. Mcdonald of
Hastings enter his findings be-
fore the testimony goes to the
Commission.
The City of Detroit and the
Michigan Manufacturers Asso-
citation moved that the COM
pany's suit be set aside.
The Bell hearing is scheduled
TO last a week, and will be fol-
lowed by similar actions against
the Michigan Consolidated Gas
Company and the Consumer S
Power Company.

TOUGH DEFENSE
The Russian summer cam
paign paralleled the Anglo
American invasion of Norman
dy and contributed much to its
success. The campaign reached
its most advanced point in the
suburbs of Warsaw at the end
of July. The Germans had de-
termined to hold the city and
counterattacks drove the Rus
slams out.
Subsequently toward the mid
die of September the Russians
made another, limited, try in the
Warsaw area and again they suf-
fered a setback or as some au-
thorities now call it, "a mild de-
feat" Thus they were stalled on
the central front, as their high
command apparently had real
lied from the time of the July
reverse, and required much re-
organization and upply of
forces, which presumably is still
going on.

Now, as the result of bill pend

opportunity for dog-lovers of the country TO
press their sentiments this important matter.
lation, there was introduced in both houses a
measure that would forever prohibit the vivisec-
ton of dogs within the District of Columbia.
Further, a Congressional measure cannot go,
because such prohibitory powers are assigned
by the Constitution to the states However the
proponents Of tie bill feel that IL passed by
Congress, it will encourage TIE enactment of
similar state laws, and that dissection of living
dogs will thus be banned throughout the nation.

often she is as plain and middle
aged as the woman she supplants.
But think the explanation is not
hard to find. In the first place, the
stenograpl,er strives to please, and
that is a charm that a woman can
always conjure with. She has a
good job and she wants to keep it,
so she tries to give satisfaction;
whereas the wife knows she can

with her position. She should worry

she doesn't talk back to him. She

himself upon being such a wonder

When he criticizes her work, she
doesn't burst into tears and tell
him few home truths. She meekly
apologies for what is probably his
mistake. She laughs. at his old

Heavens sake. are you going to drag

she knows that if the Office wife

If you will get this picture of a
woman who comes down to work
every morning spick and span and
clean looking; who is an appeaser
instead OF a counter-irritant; who
yes-yeses her employer instead of
picking fight with him: who puts
her brains and her heart in her
work and turns out a good job, and
who has the same interests and
speaks the same language her en-

idea of why so many men fall in
