SHIP, April 6 - Delayed -
The British force which knocked
out the German battleship Tir-
pitt in Norway's Alien Fjord
on April 3 came home today,
passing into its anchorage in
file as British sailors cheered it
ship by ship.
The Home Fleet commanrer,
Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser. stood
on the quarterback of his flag
ship, waving his cap with the
entire ships company.
The force which attacked the
Tirpitz included the larges
group of aircraft carriers ever
concentrated against a single
ship.
Caught by surprise. the previ-
ously crippled 4l,000- ton bat
tleship was left blazing and
wrecked by Barracuda dive
bombers, which scored at least
"a bomb hits on her.

can built Corsairs had done a
magnificent job among the
fighter force which protected
the divebombers.)

Pay Proposed

WASHINGTON, April 7-(R)
"A 30-hour postwar work week
at 40 hours pay was recon-
mended today by a conference of
war veteran members Of the Clio
United Auto Workers union.
Capstone of program adopt
ed at the end of a two-day ses-
sion, the short week was de-
scribed as necessary "to spread
employment and to give work
ing people their just share in
the benefits of technical pro-
gress."
Other recommendations in
cluded:
Creation of an overall econ
omic agency to be known as the
Peace Production Board, includ-
ing representatives of govern
ment, management, labor, farm
ers and consumers, and author
lied to plan. organize and direct
the conversion of war economy
to peace production.
Government operation "as a
yardstick" of plants in monopo-
listic or semi-monopolistic fields
or in industries strategic to ma
tional welfare and defense.
Lease to private industry or
government owned machinery
and facilities for use in civilian
production.
A vast public works program
mot as a glorified WPA but as a
permanent part of healthy,
expanding economy"
A Federal Housing program
predicated on conversion of ex-
cess government-owned aircraft
plants to the mass production of
pre-fabricated, low-cost homes.

the "bad-driving" months Of
February and March.
Snowden Wells, safety direc-
tor of the entire Great Lakes
Greyhound Lines network, was
the guest speaker, and presented
the team emblems. Charles
Shaffer, superintendent of the
Mount Clemens Division pre-
sided, and Charles Dugan, in
structor of drivers for suburban
divisions at school in the Fort
Shelby Hotel, spoke to the driv-
ers, most of them graduates OF
his classes. George DeFrance,
chief dispatcher in Mount Glenn
ems, was also speaker.
The rapid growth of the Mt.
Clemens division was pointed
out by Shaffer. In 194l there
were IL drivers and nine
BUSES, as compared to 81 driv-
ers and rs coaches at present
with further expansion antici-
pated as soon as priorities and
manpower permit. The division
maintains 15-minute service be-
tween Mount Clemens and De-
troit, with 10-minute service
during rush hours, and also OPP
crates the important Nine Mile
buses half-hourly between the
lake and Ferndale.
Instructor Dugan expressed
congratulations to the honored
drivers, and lauded the plan
whereby classroom instruction
and actual drivers training on a
bus are given TO new drivers be-
fore they are sent out to the va
rious divisions. He praised the
keen interest that women drivers
have taken in safety and traffic
regulations.

Gal Bus Drivers
Win Awards for
Careful Driving

The question as to woman's
efficiency as a bus driver. re-
placing the men in service, was
satisfactorily settled this week
as far as the Mount Clemens
division of the Great Lakes
Greyhound Lines is concerned,
when two women drivers were
included in a team honored for
34,260 miles of perfect driving.
The team, headed by Harry
Benoit, seven-year, no-acci-
dent man of the local division,
is composed of Eleanor Hanne-
man, Mary Vanguard, Daniel
Thomas, Carl Pruehs, Charles
Andrus, Paul Volker, Gene
lynda and Arthur Geschwind.
They nosed out by 70 miles
the 34,190-mile safety record of
a team directed by veteran
driver Marvin Smith.
Accidents or absenteeism
among team members auto
matically subtract the individ-
uals mileage from the grand
total. For instance, if a driver
has run up 5000 without an ac-
cident or absence from work,
and then violates these stipula-
tons, the 5000 is taken from
the teams total.
The winning Benoit team was
honored Wednesday at a dinner
at Gordon's Grill, at which they
were awarded safety emblems

placed on one years probation
by Circuit Judge Alton H. Noe

rying concealed weapons charge.
The defendant is Norman De-

his pistols to work.
Judge Noe administered a Sc
we're lecture to Demick, and di-
rected it at all others whose en-
thusiasm for weapons might
lead them to-vielate the4aW, He
pointed out that Demick not only
had no gun carrying permit, but
had not even registered the
weapons with police authori

fault, and blamed it on an en-
thusiasm for guns dating back
to his youth on a Michigan farm,
He is a married man with three
children and had no previous

chaplain, he always tried to be
out in front with the litter bear
ers TO give aid to the wounded,
either our own or the enemy.
"On Nov. 7, we were moving
up and had 10 cross a river.
Night came and we went ahead
toward the foothills and the
Germans. There was stretch
of flat land about four miles
deep, and it turned out to be one
of the largest mine fields I've
ever seen.
1T was a dandy mine field
with aisles down which the Ger
mans poured machine gun fire.
But in the darkness we got mix
ed up with German patrols and
walked right into their defen-
Sive positions and then had to
fight 1t out.

a litter, went to see If we could
help him. One of the litter men
stepped on a mine and was kill

TraubeI
In OvatIon
By CHARLES GENTRY

The glorious voice Of Helen
rraubel leading a eric a n
soprano in the Wagnerian depart
ment, evoked something OF an
ovation at the fourth Thursday
evening subscription concert by
the Detroit symphony Orchestra
in Masonic Auditorium last night.
The program was devoted en-
tirely 10 works Of two great
masters, Beethoven the first half
and Wagner the second.
Karl Kruger opened the eve
nings list with a particularly
spirited reading of the dramatic
Beethoven Overture 10 "Corio-
lanus." which, coincidentally, was
Magner's faverite overture and
then followed with the Beethoven
Eighth Symphony, a charming
work, not performed as frequently
as the other symphonies, and
strangely reminiscent OF the
masters very early works.
Kruger gave il vitality and
polish. particularly in the delight
ful 'metronome" movement, al
though the orchestra sounded a
little thin at times and the horns
and clarinet went a little awry
in the trio section Of the third

one of the more sententious of

Nine. Traubel certainly gave il.

TREMENDOUS CLIMAX

We preferred the second por-
ton of the concert, principally
because Kruger ard the orches-
ira gave poignant)y beautiful
readings of the Magic Fire
Music" from Die Walkure" and
the Forest Murmers" from
"Siegfried" and then climaxed the
evening with perfectly stunning
rendition of the tremendous I'M
notation and closing scene from
die Gotterdammerung," in which
Nine. Traubel sang the vocal role.
This was indeed the highlight
Of the concert, with Traubel mar
shalling all of her vast powers
to top the vital force of the ac-
companying music.
Kruger gave her terrific sup
port-iR Lthe orchestra and the
whole finale was a monumental
success on such a scale that II
left many listeners emotionally
exhausted.
