Chief Deputy Thomas H. Kali
tenbach claims 10 have recorded
a complete confession from one.
Those held are:
Ora Cryder, II, of 1867 Re-
public, Van Dyke, repeatedly
Navy-bound;
Paul Bauman, II, of 1880
Dodge, Van Dyke, said to be an
Army deserter, and
James Levine. 10, of 1864
Rivard, Baseline.
Kaltenbach said two other
youths, both juveniles, are in
volved in a confession which he
claims to have obtained from
Bauman. One of the juveniles
is in custody and the other is
being traced. ------
No larceny from the stolen
cars themselves is involved, as
far as Kaltenbach has determin-
ed. The autos were taken mere
ly for an evenings JOY riding
and abandoned when the gas
supply ran low. ~.-
In two weeks, the youthful
auto-theft ring manipulated the
ignition systems of IA parked
cars, according to Kaltenbach
three of the cars apparently
within the Detroit corporate
limits and the balance, IL, in
South Macomb communities.
Wednesday, Kaltenbach was
endeavoring to check back on
the individual borrowed" cars,
but was encountering difficult
ties, he said, because the youths
could not recall the points from
which they purloined the We
hicles.
Bauman, the officer said, has
admitted all the thefts and Kali
tenbach claimed that the other
members of the joy riding quin-
tet had participated in various
escapades. He said he is also
questioning Bauman regarding
money he obtained from rel
atiyeS.

AWAIT ELECTION
Indications were that nothing
would be done until after the
November elections and that a
strong move would be started
then to have the legislation
enacted before a new Congress
comes in next January.
Both Chairman Woodrum Cd
Va) of the Postwar" committee
and Chairman May (D-Ky) OF
the Military committee express
sed belief that the legislation
could be sped through their
groups quickly cnce a decision
to act has been reached.
Woodrum said he believed II
should be considered soon be-
cause of the possibility there
would be public aloofness to any
military expansion after the
war.
AVOID POLITICS
May, ranking member OF
Woodrum's committee and
leading advocate of universal
military training, agreed that
"the public may look with dis
favor on anything of a military
nature after the war;" but COM
mented that consideration of the
legislation with national cleo
ton in the offing might throw

Two arrests have been made,
bt.t Identification of the man and
woman jailed is withheld by
The Monitor-Leader until and
If Castor's story is fully &C
credited.
Castor, who sought the pro-
lection of Jail bars Wednesday,
also feared for the safety of his
wife, Phylina, 80, and their
children, Herbert, five, and
Olive, II, he told officers. He
has lived in Warren Township
for many years.
SEVERAL ATTEMPTS
On several recent occasions
Castor approached Deputy Col
Inns at the sheriff's Van Dyke
sub-station and indicated he had
something important to discuss,
but invariably failed to come to
the point of his story.
Lieut.. Fred Maletta and Pa
trolman Walter O'Bee, of the
Warren Township Police De-
partment worked on the case in
its initial phases and strength
ened the foundation on which
investigation is now proceeding.
He told investigators that in
1929 he, pretty Boy" Floyd
and another notorious gunman,
William Miller, participated in a
gas station holdup in Marine
City; a store holdup in Detroit
and a holdup at Joseph Rivard's
hardware store, in Van Dyke.
Later, he said, Floyd, Miller
and the man who has threaten
ed his (Castor's) life held up a
Bay City hardware store, and
also kidnapped an elderly man
from that city and took him to
q hide-out in the Castor home,
Warren Township. ...
ESCAPE DRAGNET
Floyd and Miller later escap-
ed q statewide police dragnet,
but the third man was arrested
by Sheriff Percy L. Moore and
sentenced to 10 to Is years for
the Bay City holdup.
("Pretty Boy" Floyd, a wide
ly-hunted Public Enemy, and
Miller, a lesser gunman, SUBJ
sequently met their deaths ir
gun battles with police.)
This man, Castor alleges, now
free from prison, has threaten
ed his life; not only because .o1
Castor's knowledge Of the past
but, because Castor claims he
overheard the man in the COM
pany of other persons discuss
details of burglaries which
have taken place in Warren
Township within the past year.
Castor claims he himself has
"gone straight" since 1929, and
even in that era of bootlegging
and kidnapping he said he &C.
companied Floyd's gang on jobs
without guilty knowledge of the
gunmen's purposes. He said all
carried guns but himself.
CITES OTHER JOBS
In addition to the Floyd
gang connections, Castor claims
the man who threatened him
participated in a railway box
car looting near Utica in 1929,
and with his wife's aid, obtain
ed two truck-loads of automo-
BILE tires. The wife was caught
and sentenced to a prison term,
but the man escaped, Castor told
officers.
Out of the maze of charges
Sheriff Jacob F. Theut's inves-
tigators hope to find a path that
will lead. them to something
definite: either solution of old
or new crimes, or at least a

is WLB CHAIRMAN OUT
ON VOTE-BID JOB?

In one breath William II. Davis, chair
man of the War Labor board, declares
without reservation that "the WLB
should be buried after the war In the
next breath he declares the agency might
be continued IF there are too many
strikes" in the immediate postwar pc
riod.
Continuing on his death sentence"
declaration he says: "AmericanS Just
don't like to be ordered around. We ought
to grow up and handle labor problems
without the aid of the government.
In both labor and industry circles he
will find a supporting echo to the death
sentence talk. But Mr.. Davis was talking
in a Pacific coast city when he made
these statements. He was far from the
CAPITAL Throne and bigger figures IN
the administration than Davis have been
disciplined when they got "home Ana
so he probably will stand on the second
statement and will repudiate the other.
He went on to say that the only inter
est of WLB is to see that production
stavs at the top and he implies, yea
boasts. that such has been the case
through the instrumentallty OF the NLb'
And he says in connection with keep
ing up production that mo union mas

lust how long does Davis figure con
tinued" should run before time for the
summary action he talks about? 1t IS
possible no one instance of defiance has
crossed his deadline, but what about
several "defiances" going on at the same
time and repeated defys, even right now
Davis knows. as every other bureau
crat knows. that there is sweeping pub
lie demand to rid the country OF many
of these autocratic boards, and it could
be that he is playing around with unotfl-
cial announcements to the effect that
his will be one bureau to go overboard
1t is interesting to note that Whlle
the WLB chairman is claiming credit for
his bureau in keeping up production by
keeping down strikes, that he talks about
too many strikes after the war.
His word can be taken that the people
are tired being ordered around and also
that problems should be settled free of
government interference.
The country can do without set-ups
like the WLB which are hamstringing
both labor and industry.

GERMAN lYNCHINGS
(Santa Monica Outlook

1t is not surprising to read that the
Berlin correspondent of a Swedish paper
has reported several instances of Amer
lean fliers being lynched by angry mobS
after their forced descent onto German
soil. 1t IS not surprising, because only
short time ago the master mind of
German propaganda, Herr Doktor Goeb-
bells, published an inflammatory article
in the German press which called upon
the German people to lynch any allied
aviators who fell into their hands.
Goebbels declared that 'it doesn't seem
possible for us any more to interpose
German police and military against the
German people when they are treating
child killers as they deserve" He re-
peated his earlier lies that American
and British fliers machine gun children
on their way to school and people on
their way to church, in short that they
do all the things nazi fliers did to the
peoples Of Europe in the first years of
the war An official invitation to lynch
captive allied airmen was the climax to
his poison.
The German people have always had
great respect for the military code which
guarantees decent treatment to uniform
ed prisoners of war. Whatever their re-
sentiment against the bombing of their
cities they would not think of lynching
helpless allied prisoners unless Goebbels
melted them to it, The responsibility
for any mistreatment of allied airmen
in Germany is therefore directly on Goeb-
bells and his chief.
Apparently this infamous creature is
not satisfied with his prospects of being
tried and hanged by the Russians. He
wants the allies to be in on it, too The
American air force should put in at once
for priority rights to this hanging.
Note: The above applies only as long
"a the war produces a scarcity of mate
rails. After the war I'll be around with
my tongue hanging out, and loose at both
ends as usual.

HAUNTING WORDS

Of course 1914 is a long way from
1882. AS a political period 1892 almost
has faded into obscurity. That was
presidential campaign year. SO is 1914.
So was 1884 and 1910. But the spoken
word, once recorded can not fade. The
major parties are about to name Their
candidate for president. And taking the
spotlight is the matter of a fourth term
for Roosevelt There was the matter
of the third term four years ago. That
was settled. Again appears the bogey
about changing horses in the middle OF
the stream. Much was heard about that
in the 1910 campaign. We didn't change
horses. The anti-traders won. And now
the query is up again. Some one IS
"mean enough" to call out Of the records
Roosevelt's views on that matter in 1892
when Republicans were advising against
it as Hoover sought a second term. Here
is what Roosevelt said in the spring OF
1882:
Gas a matter of fact there has never
been and sound basis for the Don't change
horses argument Were it sound in its
relations to politics, it would mean that
no public official ever could be replaced.
To be elected would be to serve perma-
nently. Fortunately, the people are too
intelligent to be governed by any such
philosophy"
Eth, what? Mr.. Roosevelt.

AIRCRAFT WARNING UNITS
DESERVE A WELL DONE
Sacramento Bee)

On June l. the civilian aircraft warn
ing service was placed on an inactive
status by the secretary of war, its duties
being assumed by regular Army person
mel.
To the unpaid volunteers who served
we'll and faithfully in this task, the pub
lie owes a great debt of gratitude.
Largely because of their constant vigil
against the possible approach of enemy
aircraft. the people were able to sleep
soundly by night and go about their busi
ness normally by day, knowing the skies
were being watched.
The fact that fortunately the service
never was needed to report the presence
of enemy raiders does not detract from
the value of the Job which it performed.
1t was good insurance. Also, for each
volunteer observer a soldier was made
available for military tasks at a time
when the shortage of uniformed man
power was a serious problem.
Little known to the public, too, is the
fact the network of observation posts
proved highly valuable to detecting lost
planes and guiding them to safe land
ingS. No doubt numerous crashes were
ayerted and many lives saved.
The thousands of hours devoted by the
observers to this work by no means were
in vain. Theirs was definite contrbu-
tion to ultimate victory. The public
halls them!
