SOLDIERS DIARIES
BANNED IN PRE-lNVASlON
SAFETY PROBATION

LONDON, March 81 - (P)-
Diaries have been ruled out Tor
the duration, as tar as Allied
troops in the European theater
OF operations are concerned.
In a move obviously linked
with preparations for the forth
coming invasion of Western
Europe, the censorS office last
night called in all diaries and
said they would be stored for
safe-keeping until the war is
over.
Censors explained that diar-
les sometimes contain informa-
ton Of military value which
might fall in enemy hands dur
ing combat.
At the same time new secur-
ity rules banned the playing of
chess by transatlantic mail to
prevent enemy agents from en-
ploying this medium for code
messages. Chain letters and cor
respondence with lonely hearts
clubs also were forbidden.
On the other side of the Eng
lish Channel, meanwhile, the
Germans intensified anti-inva-
sion preparations by directing
that every German not in tho
armed forces must learn to
shoot Immediately.
The order was disclosed in
Berlin broadcast which said "ev-
cry German wanting to defend
his fatherland must show his
readiness"

LONDON, March 81 - up -
Suave, dashing Anthony Eden
was reported on the verge today
of stepping down as Britain 5
foreign secretary and the Lon
don News Chronicle commented
that las things now stand he is
almost certain TO be the next
conservative prime minister"
There has been talk for a
week or more, that Eden might
resign his present office with
such a higher post in view as
the ultimate objective il was
said he may give his full time TO
the role of Government leader
of the House of Commons, a po-
sition which he now fills in ad-
dition 10 being foreign secretary.
CIT is felt that by devoting
himself exclusively to House af-
fairs" said John McVane, MIC
reporter in broadcast from
London last night, MIR. Eden
will receive that training in do
nestle affairs which a future
prime minister should have"
CLAIM DEFINITE TIP
McVane said he had learned
definitely from trustworthy
information" that Eden would
resign the post he has held for
the major part of critical de.
cade.)
Lord Cranborne, secretary Of
state for Dominion affairs and a
longtime advocate of Eden's
foreign policy, was mentioned
as the most likely among posi-
BILE successors as foreign secre-
tary.
ITO be foreign secretary at
this moment in the worlds his
tory and in the existing political
circumstances is not the surest
road to success" the News
Chronicle said in commenting
on the Eden report.
"In such a role at such a time
the strongest minister would
find his apacities and courage
taxed to the uttermost. If, in ad-
dition, he had to accept the re-
sponsibility for defending and
implementing policies that were
not his own, but were taken
so to speak-over his head, he
might we'll judge his prospects
to be unrosy."

EXPERTS CONFUSED WHEN
KANGAROO OFFERS
TWINS TO ZOO

PHILADELPHIA, March 81
-(R- Michael O'Shea, keeper
of the kangaroos, burst into Cur
ator Roger Commits office at
the Philadelphia Zoo yesterday
shouting twins for Susiel" -
and thereby made a liar out of
science.
For Susie is a kangaroo, and
Susie had haC twins, and sci
ence, according to Conant, has
always maintained that kanga-
ros don't do such things.
"A geological impossibility,"
Conant said only two years ago,
because nature made room in a
gangaroo's pouch for only one
infant"
Susie herself found that out.
The twins were discovered, Co.
nant said, when the mother. ap-
parently feeling era m p d,
kicked one of the youngsters
out onto the floor.
While the other stayed snug
in Susie's drivers seat, O'Shea
homemade a pouch for the or
phan, using an old silk stock
ing. Connant bedded the babe
down near a radiator, gave him
shot of black leopard milk
{because it was the only baby
food handy, and hoped for the
best.
The twins pappy was the late
Pete" a well-known boxer,
who often spared with Tommy
Loughran, the former light hea-
vyweight champion. Co nant
thinks they probably were born
before Pete died last January
81, he can't really say because
kangaroos, only about an inch
long at birth, seldom peep from
mothers pouch until they're
several months old.

Anthony Eden May Resign;

has been more or less of a pro-
teRe Of Prime Minister Church
i'll. Ten years or more ago
Churchill described Eden as
the only fresh figure of first
magnitude arising out of the
generation which was ravaged
by the (firsD great war"
TROUBLESOME ISSUE
II Eden does decide TO devote
himself wholly to leadership of
the House of Commons, he will
be faced with the problem Of
fered by some members still dis
gruntled over the procedure by
which the Churchill government
won a vote of confidence yester-
day.
Some London newspapers
continued to chide Churchill to-
day in editorial cartoons. Critics
commented that the Prime Min
ister, having forced his conf
dence vote, should now state
plainly his position on the equal
pay issue for men and women
teachers, the comparatively in
significant spark that brought
him into the House chambers,
demanding unqualified support
for his policies.
During the question period
that preceded yesterdays conf
dence vote, the Prime Minister
reaffirmed, under the prodding
of Laborite r. Sorensen, that

principles remain our dominat-
ing aim and purpose"

EXPENSIVE BEVERAGE

CHICAGO - A cup of coffee
back in January, 1943-was
the cause of an argument be-
tween waiter in a loop res
taurant and Harold Winter, a
salesman.
Winter testified in Superior
Court he was refused a second
cup of the then rationed drink
but his wife shared her first
drink with him gesture
which precipitated quarrel
with waiter James w. Leak.
A jury awarded Winter S25,-
600 for personal and punitive
damages in his suit against the
restaurant. He had suffered a
broken leg in the argument.

Pollution Is
Protested
File Action Against
Drain Commissioner

State Department of Health
demands that South MacomE
communities use the Lakeshore
Interceptor sew age disposal
plan, rather than the old Nine
Mile drain leading into Lake St
Clair, were being studied today
by Drain Commissioner William
c. Harper and special attorney
Ivan A. Johnston, with view 10
determining the drainage dis
trict's action.
The state demands were re-
ceived this week by Harper,
after the village of Crosse
Pointe Farms had mailed an Of
fetal protest TO Lansing.
NINE MILE UNIT
A hint that consideration is
being given TO resuming opera
ton of the Nine Mile plant was
seen in Harper's attitude follow
ing the health bureaus protest.
Harper recently shut off the
interceptor at the county line
when he found that little head
way had been made in working
out a cost-sharing plan between
St. Clair Shores, East Detroit,
Warren Township, Warren and
Center Line.
In an effort TO obtain reduc-
tion of the SAB per million gal
Ions of flow, now being charged
Macomb County by the Wayne
County disposal plant, Harper
recently entered a protest, and
action on this is pending. In the
meantime, he submitted to the
five South Macomb municipali-
ties involved suggested rates to
be charged all water-users in
the area. Only one community's
reaction has been received so
far, that of East Detroit, where
the council objected to alleged
high charges for low-consump-
ton water users, and asked that
Harper confer with them.
PREFER PLANTS USE
East Detroit has commended
that the Nine Mile Halfway dis
posal plant could be put into
operation again, at a cost of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars,
eliminating the heavy annual ex-
penseS {poss bly, 100000
year, which South Macomb will
pay indefinitely under the Lake
shore Interceptor arrangement.
Harper this week refused di-
rect comment on the suggestion
of re-opening the county's plant,
other than to point out that
when the plant was closed down
earlier this year he publicly adj
vised the Board of Supervisors
that he was keeping the plant
at its highest degree of efficiency
through 24-hour maintenance, so
that it would be ready to re-
sumo operations IF the Lake
shore Interceptor arrangement
ever falls through"
Harper said he also informed
the supervisors that when the
dam was to be broken
IN the Nine Mile drain (to allow
sewage to flow into the Lake
shore Interceptor), he insisted
over the objections of state sani-
Iation engineers that key-ways
be cut in the drain which would
enable the county to dam it and
divert sewage once again into
the Nine Mile plant.
Whether or not the immediate
future will bring about action
in this respect Harper refused
10 comment until legal angles of
The situation are surveyed by

TAXI! One night during the depres-
sion, a Bronx cabbie named Eddie
Davis drove Will Rogers to the Jolson
Theater on Seventh Avenue to appear
in a benefit show. Today, beloved
Will is gone, the Jolson Theater is
called the Century - and Eddie
Davis doesn't drive a cab. In fact,
his name was recently up on the mar
quee of that same theater as CO.
author of the Broadway hit, Follow
the Girls"
Davis, who looks enough like Eddie
Cantor to fool Ida, broke into the
world of dumbbelle lettres by collar
ing Cantor as fare in his cab and
bombarding him with jokes. Legend
has it that Cantor hired the guy as
a radio gag-writer only to get rid OF
him. But Davis's rapid rise from taxis
to taxes indicates that the banjo
eyed comedian knew what he was do
ing. A few years later Davis was
drawing 81 .25O a week from radio and
pictures and writing such musical
comedies as George Whites Scam
dals" and Hold On To Your Hats"
CORN. His stock in trade? Acres
and acres of corn - the greatest col
lection of putrid puns, groaning gags
and mildewed mirth that ever set
Joe Miller a-whirling. It's not so
much his fault as it is the law OF
averages, that now and then he
comes up with a genuine nugget.
Cantor once compared Davis to a
blind man at a machine gun. He
may not know what he is shooting
at, but he's bound to hit something
once in while"
Eddie Davis never got very far in
school. ("I ran too fast for the uuant

dawn and watched those men 60 out to

me, we wouldn't be likely to have another
war very soon.
Everyone's been forlorn today and I've
had time comforting my little dog,
"Doughnuts." My old black cat, Mrs.
Greenberg," has wandered around the

A letter from a Red
Cross girl who wept
as her ''boys' went
off to the invasion

TEAR Mon:
IL For the first time in many months
l cried this morning - in front of about
a thousand men, My boys have gone. At
five o'clock this morning | stood at the
No. guard post, coat over my pink
pajamas and my hair flying, and tears
streamed down my face as waved good
by and returned the salutes of each man.
No mother ever felt worse when her sons
went out to do battle.
This of course, is the day we've been
waiting for - packed and ready for days
now, just waiting word. If God was ever
good, He was last night when He made me
decide not to stay overnight at the Red
Cross station at a nearby camp where l

I'd come home and find them gone.
| JUST had feeling last night that better
get home, and sure enough about two
thirty this morning began to hear suspi-
cious noises. Any similarity my boys might
have had to the Arabs who folded their
tents and quietly stole away was purely
coincidental, because they made so much
noise wisecracking laughing and shouting,
that thought they were playing football
on the hill.
Well. to make long story short they
were leaving. So little after four got up,
put on my coat and slippers and wandered
down by the motor pool. 1t was still dark
and it was some time before anyone saw
me.

Hey! You're out of uniform"
