Henry Ford, 2nd,
Vice.President Of
Motor Empire

DETROIT, April IL - R) -
Election of Henry Ford II as
executive vice president of the
Ford Motor Company places the
26-year-old man second only to
his grandfather president and
founder, in the vast Ford indus
trial empire.
Young Ford, son of the late
Edsel B. Ford, was elevated
yesterday by the board of di-
rectors. He had been a vice
president three months and was
named a director of the company
soon after his graduation from
Yale University in 1910.
He was a lieutenant in the
Navy from April, 1941, until
last May when he was placed on
the inactive list to resume work
with the company following
the death of his father, who was
president. The elder Henry Ford
resumed the presidency after
Edsel's death.
The board also announced the
resignation of Joseph Galamb,
who was in charge of the body
engineering department, and E.
T. Gregorie was officially named
to replace him lat a later date"

Fear Dumped Milk
May Plug Sewers
Streom ConroI Head
Worms of New Peril

LANSING, April IL - (Pl =
Reports that milk is being
dumped in metropolitan sewers
because of price difficulties may
indicate the first step toward a
serious stream pollution condi-
ton, Milton p. Adams, secretary
of the State Stream Control
Commission, said Monday.
Asserting milk is 300 to l.
600 times as strong as sewage as
a polluting agent" Adams said
1T removes oxygen from lakes
and streams and causes an acute
odor nuisance and fish killings.
Metropolitan sewage disposal
plants are not equipped TO
handle milk wastes, Adams said,
and experienced serious difficult
ty with that problem in the
past.
Adams said IF daires have to
dump milk they should find
some other way to dispose of
it besides pouring it in city sew
ers or into bodies of water

Grand Jury
Looks into
Liquor Sales

LANSING, April IL - up -
A Federal grand jury in Detroit
is investigating the sale of liquor
TO the State of Michigan 10 de-
termine whether Office of Price
Administration (OPA) pri e
ceilings were violated, state Of
ficials revealed Monday.
Auditor General Vernon j.
Brown made the disclosure TO
news men, and Chairman Will
liam p. Edmonson of the State
Liquor Control Commission said
he also was aware the probe was
in progress.
Brown declined to discuss it
further, asserting comment from
him would be improper because
my man, Shepler Orchard c.
Shepler, one of his auditors), has
been before the Federal grand
jury" He said the Federal Blu
reau of Investigation also was
working on at least two cases in
which excessive prices are al
legged.
Shepler has aided Brown in a
survey of accounting and pur-
chasing practises at the Liquor
Control Commission, and joined
him in criticism Of the commits
sion.
Edmonson told news men that
"if the commission paid more
than the ceiling price for liquor,
it did SO unwittingly and would
not be subject to punishment. y
Brown asserted the OPA in
formed the commission several
months ago that the commission
had paid more than the ceiling
price for some liquor, but that
with the haphazard manner in
which they do business over
there, no one paid any atten-
ton to the notice"
The commissions legal divis-
ion said it never had heard Of
such an OPA report.

EAST DETROIT - Mrs. Ev-
erett Beckstrom, member of the
East Detroit Board of Education,
tells the following story con-
corning her brother, Neil Ed
wards, OF Algonac:
Edwards, Al, Legionnaire and
veteran of the first World War,
couldn't understand why friends
strongly urged him TO attend a
recent civic program in Algonac,
unless il was because the pres
ent ChriS-Craft plant protection
man is an active Air Raid War
den and Civilian Defense Off
cial.
AT the climax TO the program,
he was called TO the platform
and Major Walter Masters of
Selfridge Field, pinned the Pur-
pie Heart award on the startled
veterans coat.
1t all came back TO Edwards,
however, when Chairman Byron
Ames and Major Masters ex-
planned that a search of Ed
wards records in Washington,
made by veterans when he was
hospitalized a short time ago,
disclosed that
AT Chateau Thierry he had
volunteered under heavy enemy
fire TO carry an important mes
sage from the 47th to the 48th
Division; delivered the message
by crawling across No Mans
Land, an d. despite shrapnel
wounds in the leg, successfully
returned with an answering
communication.
Edwards had almost forgot
ten the valorous deed of 1918,
for which he was officially cited
as a hero. So had the War De-
partment, and it was not until
Legion officials checked 1918

ured during their recent waste
paper drive that if they dropped
a sufficiently heavy hint to peo-

would justify their efforts. So
they went from house to house
