Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-29

\NIHEN Henry Bell and Richard
W Kotlowski were walking down
w a lonely street in Jersey City,
N. j., one day recently, they were
scared half out of their wits when
they saw only the right half of
man lying in the roadway. 1t looked
as If he had been cleaved clean in two
from the head down.
The two men were convinced that
they had found the beginning of
weird axe murder. Finally, one of
them got up nerve enough 10 nudge
the corpse" The pair nearly tainted
when the Mailman opened his one
eye and yelled with his half a mouth.
Then Bell and KotlowsH noticed

that there was another half 10 the
man-but 1t was completely sunk into
the tar of the roadway. Unable TO
pull the stranger out, they called the
police. 1t took 25 cops, equipped with
shovels, knives, and gasoline, nearly
an hour TO get the imbedded unfortu-
nate free.
At the hospital, where he was
taken for treatment, the victim identi-
fled himself as Ignatz c. Banikonis,
So of New York City. He had he
said, gone on bender after pay day
and had laid down on the roadway
for a bit of a rest. The warmth Of
his body had made the tar melt and
his weight did the rest.

Suit for $2500 was filed in Cir
cult court by Arthur N. O'Brien,
2l20 Marquette avenue, Wednesday,
against four members Of Ford Local
No. 600. UAW-CIO, whom O'Brien
charged with unfair tactic against
him while he was a building COM
mitteeman. in the Motor Building
unit OF the Rouge plant.
Named as defendants were w. c.
Grant, financial secretary of the
local and a candidate for president;
Shelton Tapes, recording secretary
Of the local and Local 900.
Made in 1913
The charges against O'Brien re-
suited early in 1913, when he was
accused by Edna Glassgold of CON
spring with; and failure to prop
erly represent her in the presence
OF management" Miss Glassgold
testified before the Local Trial
board, that the Ford management
had taken offense at her friendly
attitude toward Negro employees.
and had insisted that she spend her
lunch hours with other whites, This
she refused to do. Stating that
O'Brien together with two other
committeeman. also found guilty by
the Trial board: instigated a DEM
onstration against her, and as a re-
suit of this action she was ordered
transferred TO another part of the
plant. This latter action was re-
versed through negotiations by
higher officials OF the Union and
Company.
w. C. Grant issued the follow
ing statement in answer to the
O'Brien charges: Charges against
Arthur N. O'Brien were first pre-
ferred at a membership meeting
Of the unit in which he works. BY
an overwhelming majority, the
workers at the meeting ordered him
brought to trial. He was then given
a thorough and fair hearing before
a trial committee composed of seven
of his fellow workers. The trial
lasted about three weeks.
AT special meeting OF the Gen.
eral Council OF Local No. 900. UAW-
CIO, his guilt was upheld. He then
appealed to the international Exec
utive board of the JAW, which up
held the decision. He then appealed
to the International JAW conven-
ton held in Buffalo where the dele
gates Overwhelmingly voted to up
hold the decision.
After losing out before his fell
low workers where he was given
opportunity 10 fully and adequately
present his case, he now resorts to
civil suit against the Union which
afforded him every opportunity to
prove his innocence of the charges
preferred against him.

MOON IS DOWN"
 IS FEATURE NOW
 Al 2OTH CENTURY

The "unquenchable flame" of Nor ways resistance to it's Nazi con- querors is the theme of 20th Gen. tury-Fox's stirring picture "The Moon is Down." taken from the outstanding novel by John Stein- beck, which is now unreeling at the goth Century Theatre.
 Producer Nunnally Johnson, who wrote the screen play, went to great effort to film a realistic story and one of the most heartening pictures of the war. The film, as did the book, brings home to Am ericans the fact that a great and courageous people are keeping up the fight against oppression-and, they are on our side.
 In this memorable picture, which strikes a new note in the list of films concerning the present con- flict, Sir Cedric Hardwicke plays the part of ruthless Nazi Col. Lanser; Henry Travers is seen as the peaceful but heroic Mayor of the invaded village: Lee J. Cobb, as Dr. Winter, confidant of the mayor; Doris Bowdon, as wistful Molly Morden, widowed by a Nazi firing squad, and Margaret Wych- erly. as the confused but trusting wife of the mayor

Miracle Eye!

In the midst of the devastation of global war, let's call a recess from the news of the battlefront and visit the sector where science is advancing -constructively.
 You've heard a great deal, now and then, about progress in the field of electronics. So come with me to the laboratories of the Schenley Research Institute at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and get your first look at rare new pre- cision instrument called an "elec- tron microscope. It is one of the few in the United States today and was developed and perfected by RIGA Laboratories.
 To give you just slight idea of the magnifying power of this magic instrument, we'll take a human hair which is about fifteen ten thousandths of an inch in diameter and, presto, you look at it through this microscope and its size has changed to the proportions of the Washington Monument! That single human hair has been magni- fled about thirty thousand diam eters. By making use of photo graphic enlargements, this magni- fication can be still further increased to one hundred thousand diameters. Think of this as com pared with ordinary optical micro scopes which magnify objects from two to three thousand times.
 The human eye can now see ob- jects which 1t has never gazed upon before; whose existence may have been suspected but which have, heretofore, never been seen. Here is new weapon, indeed, which is being used in our research lab oratories to help hasten the day when penicillin, the miracle drug," which we are producing will be- come available, through mass pro- duction, at greatly reduced cost.
 And the electron microscope is expected to play an important role, also, in the remaining days of the war. It will enable chemists and bacteriologists to widen their investigations of fermentation in the production of essential war alcohol; in the studies of yeast, whic!. changes grain sugars into alcohol required for explosives and synthetic rubber; for new research on the vitamins which enrich live stock and poultry feeds processed from the residues of grain, which is used in making alcohol and in normal times-whiskey.
 We'll say, again and again, that scientific progress can never be halted <. come plaques, or wars or holocausts. Men and women in white keep marching on-with their eyes on the stars!
