that Markell, wearing a mer-
chant marine officers cap, had
knocked at her door last
Wednesday and informed her
that he had recently seen her
long dead son IN an Army hos
pital in New Caledonia. He IN
sisted that the son, Lieut.. Harry
Bellobradich, 25 years old, was
eonvaleScing and that he had
given him (MarkeD a letter 10
take TO his parents. He said how
ever, that the ship on which he
was returning from the South
Seas had been torpedoed and
that he had lost the letter. The
address of the parents, however,
remained IN his memory, he
said, explaining his ability to
locate the Bcllobradich resi-
dencc.
KILLED OVER TOBRUK
The overjoyed mother accept
ed Markets story even though
her pilot son had been reported
killed in action in raid over
Tobruk in North Africa 10
months ago and listened rccep-
lively to Markets suggestion
that she give him S25 in silver,
a wrist watch and shaving &C
cessories which, he said, he
would take directly to her son
on a return trip TO the South
west Pacific thcatcr Of war. He
arranged to come back the fol-
lowing evening to get them,
Mrs. Bellobradich said.
OBTAINS PICTURES
Apparently fearing a trap,
however, the young sailor who
had posed as lieutenant o. 81
in the Merchant Marine) return
cd the following morning and
explained that he had to rejoin
his ship at once. Mrs. Bello-
bradich who had not had suf-
ficient time to buy the watch
or obtain the cash, gave HIM
some pictures Of the family Tor
her son.
The dead flier's father, Frank,
became suspicious though and
notified the Federal Bureau of
Investigation in Detroit which,
in turn, informed State Police
Of the Center Line detachment
Of the incident.
Arrested Saturday morning I
bv State Police officers Markell |
frankly admitted the grim hoax
he had hoped TO play
upon the rekindled hopes Of the
family, and was
promptly taken before Prescott
ing Attorney Wilbur F. Held |
where the warrant charging
fraudulent acquisition of prop
erty (the pictures) was obtained.
In the Macomb county jail
today Markell calmly admitted
that he had never heard Of the
Bellobradich family prior to
walking up TO their door when
he was attracted by the Gold
Star hanging in their window.
Markell told officers he had
sailed on the Great Lakes as a
seaman but had received a med
ical discharge because of a heart
ailment and had recently been
at the Westinghouse
Naval Ordnance Plant in Warren
township.

American Tanks Used In Battle Of Normandy
By YVES GALLAGHER

OUTSIDE COUTANCES, NOR July 28.-(AP)-With American tanks and doughboys in columns miles long the American advance proceeded down the Cherbourg Peninsula in pursuit of the fleeing Germans, today.
 Every road in this fluid front, 25 miles wide, was choked with the First Army on the march and with advanced units within two miles of this bottleneck town.
 Another column, 20 miles to the southeast, was reported only a mile and a half outside lilly Sur Seulles.
 Prisoners of six different Ger man divisions were taken at one advance command post in the last fifteen minutes of the fight, with indications that many of the Nazi 34th army corps slipped out of the trap last night, in a wild night of fighting.

War Manpower
 Director To Talk At Meeting Here

MT Peter Wood, regional di- rector of the War Manpower Com mission, with offices in Fairbanks, arrived in Nome this morning on a survey of labor conditions in this area.
 MT. Wood will talk with various employers and erx x.elngees in an effort to get a complete picture of the situation, in order to be of assistance in meeting the prob lens of employment for the post war as well as the present period.
 Tt is apparent" he said, that many of the war contracts are being terminated, and an unem- ployment problem will result in the near future, which can only be lessened by the return to for mer occupations, of those labor CTS, who are far seeing enough, to take up the jobs of lesser pay now in order to be assured a job, in the reconversion period to follow the cancellation of war time jobs"
 "The War Manpower Commis- sion will help 100 per cent, he added, "in all labor problems.
 MT. Wood wishes to speak to both employers and employees, and the Chamber of Commerce is arranging for meeting to be held in the court room of the federal building this evening at 800 o'clock.

 Summing up, MT. Maverick stated, "Alaska will not suffer because of re-conversion, as the mining and fishing industries will take up where they left off, and Alaska will be back to normal sooner than the western states, or other parts of the United States"
 With Maury Maverick on the survey is Paul Jordan, director of information for the corporation, and W. A. Castleton, regional di- rector.
