S. Scott Wigle, former Detroit
Times reporter and writer, who
never took a professional picture
in his life before existing in the
coast guard. was credited today
with taking the first picture Of
the European invasion to be
flashed back 10 the United States.
Wigle. a photographers mate
third class, enlisted in August.
1913, and has been overseas five
months. His picture showed a
flotilla of infantry landing craft
heading into the French shore
under cover of barrage balloons.
The seasoned, 35-year-old news
paperman never had handled any
camera more complicated than a
No. 2 Brownie until he decided
to enlist in the coast guard. Then
for months before he was sworn
in he spent much of his spare time
in the Times studios learning as
much as he could about the art
of picture making.
Consequently. he was able TO
qualify for a petty officer rating
and see active service abroad.
He was born in Ontario of a
family noted for its fighting men.
He came to Detroit, and in 1886
became a member of the Times
staff.
Probably the most famous of
the Canadian branch of the family
is Col. Ernest Wigle of the Essex
Scottish, former mayor of Wind
Sor.
Scots wife, Befniee, lives at 90
Peterboro.

Since then, the. Mosquito has
become legend. lis speed anc

Mosquito. especially the two-stage,
two-speed supercharger. whic h
gives it extra speed and altitude.
The plane on exhibition at the

40 Excused
On Graft Jury
BY FRANK MORRIS

MASON. June 15-After a day
long blazing fight over the legality
Of the jury panel in the states
first legislative bril- berry trial,
Judge John Simpson today re-
sumed the tedious process Of find
ing a dozen men and women TO
decide the fate of the % de-
PENDANTS.
The battle TO preserve the IA
jurors now sitting tentatively in
the box was won late yesterday
by Special Prosecutor Kim Sigler.
Judge Simpson refused to dis
miss the jury panel, as demanded
by defense attorneys on grounds
that list of so prospective
jurors had been in the hands of
the state police day in advance
of the names being made public.
SECRECY UPHELD
He also ruled that the fact that
the names were on unfolded
pieces of paper when drawn from
a box, instead of being folded or
enclosed in pellets, did not in
validate the rule of secrecy.
But Chris NJ. Youngjohn. de-
Tense attorney, won one point
when the judge examined all the
first 40 jurors drawn out of the
200 called so far. None of the
first 40 had been accepted how
ever. so the ruling was without
effect.
Judge Simpson explained to the
attorneys that the first 40 were
being excused because they were
drawn on oral order by Judge
Charles II. Hayden, presiding
over the Ingham circuit, instead
of by written order entered on
the circuit court journal.
But the long argument was
strictly show between Sigler
and Youngjohn, with unconcealed
bitterness and cutting jibes.
VARIOUS NAMES
Sometimes the special prosecu-
tor called the opposing counsel
Mr. Chrisjohn" sometimes MIR.
Younglove" and sometimes Mr..
Youngman."
Once Sigler complained TO
Judge Simpson:
"Mr. Youngjohn is badgering
Judge Hayden I'm an attempt to
assume that the honorable
Judge would sign something i'm
proper. He has gone far
enough"
The controversy had not ended
when Simpson raped for order.
outlawing the first 40 jurors and
accepting the rest.
81 am taking every step to
guarantee fair trial." he told
the defense.
Because some of the peremptory
challenges were used in excusing
many of the prospective jurors on
the original list, the judge allotted
each side lis more.

New Social Security Plan
 Is Promised By President

WASHINGTON, D. Presi- dent Roosevelt reluctantly" approved the controversial legislation freezing the social security payroll tax at one per cent for another year.
 At the same time he promised to submit soon Comprehensive plan for broadening and improv- ing the social security system'' for action by the next Congress.
 The Presidents statement said:
 Two matters should be clearly un- derstood. The Congress should real ize that this bill, deferring a statutory increase in contributions toward ex- iSting social security, merely defers until next year the necessary fiscal receipts to pay the benefits. Also, it does not seem to me wholly sound to enact a tax law and then defer the taxes year after year.
 The public will understand that as a nation we are committed to social security and will undoubtedly increase and not decrease its benefits. Already some other nations have larger de- gree of social security than we. This bill in no way modi6es the benefits provided by the present law. But it
