u. S. Gunners
Shoot Down
Own Planes!

WASHINGTON, March 49,
(R)-Secretary Of War Stimson
acknowledged today there have
been instances in the war OF
American forces mistaking their
own planes and shooting them
down.
Asked at a press conference
about a statement by CORE
spondent of the Army newspa-
per, Stars and Stripes, that US.
Navy gunners in the Sicilian
campaign shot down 20 Ameri-
can CAT transports carrying 10
men each by mistake just after
the naval forces had undergone
q heavy Nazi aerial attack, Slim
son said.
There have been instances, in
the hurry and confusion of night
operations, of one set of our
forces mistaking our filters for
the enemy"
Addressing the c IN m o n
wealth Club in San Francisco
yesterday in an Army-approved
speech Sgt. Jack Foisie said the
Siciliian invasion was as near
perfect campaign as could wish
for" but for the unfortunate in
cident."
The correspondent observed
that very few slips were made in
the successful African landings.
One was the "Washington an
nouncement of the a n d n G s
around Casablanca even as the
forces were still five miles off
shore" he said. Talk about
tipping off the enemy"

JERSEY CITY, N. j., March
10 ---(P-- After the privations
of life in Nazi internment camps
and the terrors of q hell train"
on which they left the Reich,
37l non official civilian repatri-
ates patiently waited today
aboard the exchange liner Grip
sholm to set foot on free soil

Valuable Metal
Made into Coins

GLADSTONE, Mich, March
16-(P-Six youths, ranging in
age from IA to l6, have admitted
they coined fake nickels for use
in slot and pinball machines.
Police said the boys made the
nickels from babbitt, a bearing
alloy, by pouring the molten
metal in a mold between two
pieces of wood. The finished
products weighed about the
same as a genuine coin, they
added, but wouldn't ring true.

Aboard the ship was a strange
assortment of Americans-some
of them speaking with foreign
accents, some who had not seen
their native land for 80 years
and teen-age children who new
e. had been in the nation of
which they were citizens.
There was an apparent feel

ates as the exchange ship swung
up the New York harbor, but
little show of jubilation. The
feeling of many was expressed

school-child population has risen
enormously.
In the school district with the
90 per cent rise in enrolment
and the IL per cent rise in prop
erty valuation a building pro-
gram seems practically impos-
sible, Bennett states, because
under Michigan laws. school
buildings must be financed by
local taxation and a bond issue
is limited to five years. Local
taxation Excluding the big de-
Tense plants) would not support
the kind of building programs
needed. However, In this par
ticular district, the school board
financed seven additional rooms,
five in an old garage building
and two portable ones.
In the general taxation pic
lures, Bennett points out that II
is unlikely there will be any
substantial increase in property
valuations during the present
war emergency because Cd the
reduction in the inventory of the
majority of mercantile establish
ments will reduce the personal
tax collections; (2) real estate
tax collections will be reduced
by exemptions approved for war
veterans ant. (3) restrictions on
home and building construction
mean few substantial additions
to the tax roll.
Bennett and Lindsey, when
appearing before the Congress
sional subcommittee here will
contend that the government
should not only pay county,
township and school taxes on
the value of property acquired,
but also a service charge in lieu
of taxes on the overall property
valuation a ter improvements
have been made.
They will suggest amendment
of a bill at present before Con-
gress proposing relief to local
communities for lost taxes, to
include the service charge pro-
vision.

Taxes



100000 mark, payable into the
county treasury.
Controller Bennett, who re-
Gently authorized an article on
Preparing a County Budget in
War Time" for the magazine,
Municipal Finance, in which
he mentioned the subject of this
news story, sketches the costly
problems thrust upon the coun-
ty by the war production effort
of South Macomb.
INCREASED EXPENSES
A tremendous increase in the
work Of police, traffic patrol,
health and fire prevention au-
thorities has been necessitated.
Paved and un paved roads
within miles of the plants have
taken a beating" due to the
heavy traffic loads of workers
and supplies. More drainage has
been needed and sewage dis
posal costs are higher.
Schools in the defense plant
areas, especially, present a Sc
rious problem, Bennett points
out.
In some, the lack of a full
teaching staff, inadequate build
ings and equipment has made 1t
necessary to hold halliday ses-
sions. AS an example, Bennett
points out that one school dis
trict, the area of which includes
two tax-free defense plants, has
had an increase in school en-
rollment of 80 per cent from
1884 to the past year or so, as
compared with an increased
property valuation in the same
area of II per cent.
New homes have mushroomed
in the vicinity of defense plants,
but their valuation averages ST.
500 to $4,000. Therefore their
contribution to government and
school district revenues is mod
crate, although the adult and
