Further political-military crises

The attempted assassination
Of Fuehrer Hitler and the resig-

The meanest thieves are
those who steal small boys BIZ

household pets which they know
to be more dear to their own

Two such instances have come
to the attention of police and
other authorities who maintain
vigil against these despicable
acts.

carried a routine story on the
theft of a 10-year-old's bicycle,
but little of the details behind
the story. The bicycle was a
cherished gift to Ronald Couto
from his grandmother. Mrs.
Mary Zoladz, as birthday re-
membrance. Since then Mrs.
Zoladz has died but the fond
memories of the boys gram

State Truck Crop
Outlook Favorable

LANSING. July FL - P -
Although dry weather and wilt
and rust have injured some
Michigan truck crops, the Gen
eral outlook is favorable, the
Federal-State Crop Reporting
Service said today.
The report said the cantaloupe
crop is making good progress
except for some rust and wilt,
and a light movement from
early fields will start next week.
The early carrot crop looks
good, but most of the law sown
acreage has poor stands because
of hot, dry weather. Some fields
were a total loss, the Service
reported.
The celery supply has reached
its peak, and the crop is in good
condition, the service said. All
early sections are in production.

ed to be in good volume by the
last of the month.
The Service said the onion
crop is progressing well, al
though the Ionia county crop
was somewhat damaged by
wind and thrips.

of the Toto and Hitler incidents.
The Germans have been un-
able to check the Red army Of
fensive in the east; they failed
to prevent Allied invasion in the
west and apparently, they have
at least temporarily exhausted
their air force in futile efforts
to stop Allied strategic bomb
ing.
Their hopes for containing
the Normandy beachhead in a
small area and forcing a stale
mate war this summer died
when General Montgomery's
men broke through at Caen this
week. This is regarded as the
beginning of a real war OF

swift, powerful thrusts.
Those are the principal ele=
ments in a situation which pro-

Hitler's generals as well as vari-

Human life is cheap to Helm
rich Himmler, bespectacled ex-
ecutioner who has been named
by Hitler as commander-in-chi
inside Germany. role for
which Himmler long has been
preparing and in effect assumed
last September.
Every day, somewhere in
Nazi territory. firing squads
take their toll. The death figures
have run into the scores of
thousands. and IL is -Himmler
and his blackshirted SIS Elite
Guards and Gestapo agents who
are held responsible by the al
lied world.
Russians, Poles, Czechs, Yugo-
slavs, French and many other
nationalities are among his VIC
TINS but German Nationals also
have fallen because of Hmm
Ter. The killings in Germany
are not much publicized. Those
revealed to the public are held
up as examples.
One such example was the
execution in Hamburg of a
woman condemned without trial
for saying Adolf is murderer
Of German youth" Her accuser
was a 13-year-old servant - an
example of how Himmler's Sc
cret agents bore into every
home.
REMEMBER LIDICE
It was the cold-eyed Hmm
Ter who ordered the massacre of
all residents of the Czech viii
lage of Lidice in reprisal for
the assassination of his right
hand aide, Reinhard Heydrich,
in June, 1912. Thousands of
Czechs were executed because
of the death Of the hangman"
Heydrich.
But the 43-year-old Himmler
now has been called upon by
Hitler for his biggest role -
stamping out every vestige Of
revolt within the Reich itself. q
revolt not only by civilians but
possibly by the German army.
For several years Himmler
has been recruiting heavily for
his civil war army" He has
perhaps the most SINISTER spy
network in the world. His Ges-

Farmers Loan
Unit Revised
Mocomb-St. Clair Unit
Is RehobiIitoted

AT special stockholders
meeting recently at Richmond,
members of the Macomb-St.
Clair Victory National Farm
Loan Associations voted TO &C
cept the rehabilitation program
offered by the Federal Land
Bank of st. Paul, and consoli-
date into one association, TO be
known as the Homestead Ma
tional Farm Loan Association.
An essential feature of the
plan is reimbursement in cash
TO every former association
member who has repaid his loan
in full, the full part value of his
association stock if he did not
get such reimbursement when
he paid his loan.
The newly formed Homestead
National Farm Loan Association
will have Macomb and st. Clair
Counties as its territory for
making of Federal Land Bank
loans.
The land bank will provide
funds so that the association can
reimburse all former members
who have repaid their loans in
full, for the full amount of their
association stock. In the Rich
mond territory this will amount
to about S3,59500.
The land banks plan which
has been offered to all the 476
associations in Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, and North
Dakota proposes consultations
in some cases, certain changes
in boundary lines of others, and
in a few cases change in loca-
f-tion= the group-office.-The
plan has already been approved
by boards of directors of 440 as
sociations, and now will be con-
sidered by the stockholders.
From the establishment of the
land bank system over 26 years
ago, loans have been made ia
farmers who joined local Ma
tional Farm Loan Associations
and took shares in the associa
ton. Each members shares
were based on the size of his
loan, a S. share for each S100 OF
his loan. When he repaid his
loan in full he was to relinquish
his stock, get back the SIS per
share he paid, and step out OF
the association.
While many associations have
| been able to carry out this pro.
gram, some, due TO heavy losses
were not able to redeem the
stock in cash at that time, but
instead gave each retiring mem
