Reiterating his belief that vote
records will be shattered, City
Election Supervisor Oakley E.
Distin pointed to the fact that in
1910 by 4 p. m. only 301, 800 bal
lots had been cast.
Meanwhile, City Clerk Thomas
D. Leadbetter said it would prob
ably be 7 a. m. tomorrow before
the first half of the votes are
counted.
DON'T CLOSE TILL 10 p. M.
The delay in the counting Lead
better said, is because the polls,
which opened at 7 a. m, will not
close until 10 p. m, and every one
in line at that time will be ac-
commodated.
Despite chilling temperature
it was 35 at 2 a. m.-long lines OF
voters appeared in many pre-
cincts when the polls were opened
Several waiting lines of between
Is and 100 persons were re-
ported.
Distin and other officials re-
marked pointedly on the fact that
at least so per cent of the persons
standing in lines were women
This confirmed earlier beliefs
that their vote would play an i'm
portant if not decisive roll in the
election.

No estimate ever has been made
public of the value of the Trout's

For that trip beneath the Japa-

Trout's crew won the silver star.
But it was not oaly as a gold
ship that the Trout was famous.
She won a presidential unit citation
il May, 1943, for having sunk 49,
200 tons of japanese shipping and
damaged many other enemy ships
including an aircraft carrier. What

taken since then has not been dis

Her skipper in those days was

who took her to sea when she was
commissioned in November, 1910.

Apparently in an attempt to quiet
rumors that flanagan had been
using his office to promote Tru

second place position on the party
ticket, Mayor Edward J. Kelly OF
Chicago told the national commit

''never mentioned" Truman's name

Hannegan started working for
Truman's nomination only after he
thought it was proper to do so, Kel-

While the national committee
met to sew up the loose ends OF
the convention, two Massachusetts
Democrats who accompanied their
states delegation to Chicago, said
they were dissatisfied with the
Roosevelt Truman ticket and would
campaign in New England for Re
publican nominees, Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey and John w. Bricker.
The two are Joseph Lee, former
Boston school committee member,
and Charles H. McClue, former

With the new hemoglobin

Mrs. Stumpe, thus the need for
donors is greater than before.
Some people who have dom

blood, Mrs. Stumpe said, but this
is not so, and all precautions are
taken.
If some people are of the
opinion that their blood is not

they should he reminded that

Rifle Fire Ends
Traffic Argument


VAN DYKE - Stanley Nor
riss, SO year old Warren town
ship war worker, who Saturday
morning punctuated his COM
ments concerning a minor traf-
flee crash with the explosive
bark of a % calibre rifle, was
at liberty on probation today
following his plea of guilty to
charges of possessing firearms
while under the influence of
liquor.
Morriss was said to have
sideswiped the parked car of
Alfred Marinelli Of 13437 Geor-
gianna, a neighbor, Saturday
morning at 2.45 am, and in the
argument that followed, to have
obtained a rifle from his home.
Although Morriss made no at
tempt to threaten Marinelli with
the rifle, he was believed under
the influence of liquor at the
time. Morriss's wife came out of
the house and took the gun from
him, according to police reports,
but before the officers arrived,
he had recovered it and fired
five shots into the ground.
When Morriss was arraigned
before Justice Donald Parent, OF
Mount Clemens, Saturday, he
pleaded not guilty, and was re-
leased on $50 bond with his
trial set for Wednesday. Nor
riss later changed his plea to
guilty. In sentencing Morriss,
Wednesday, Justice Parent or
'dered that he abstain from in
toxicating drink during his pro-
baton and that he have no fire
arms in the house. Morriss was
released after payment of costs
of S5.85.
