Girl Mechanic Tunes EN-
Up Just As Well As a Man

Never let il be said that a lady
cannot become a genuine auto
mechanic! Living proof of this
assertion was found in Marjorie
Akin, 25-year-old mechanic at
MIR. Anderson 5 Ford Garage.
when a Monitor-Leader reporter
found her busily and efficiently
engaged in "motor tuneup" on
one of the garages repair jobs.
Marjorie found her way to
Michigan from her farm home in
Storm Lake, Iowa, where she
learned the "hard way" by that
we mean she began her mechani-
cal career by keeping in repair
the many motorized machines
required to maintain her par
ents' l60-acre farm.
The apparent efficiency and
business-like attitude on her part
Immediately impresses one with
the concept that she knows what
she is about. And she does. Both
employed and fellow-workmen
readily testify to the effect that
she can hold her own with the
male sex in mans own field.
Her speciality is tors,
though she can do any kind of
mechanical repair work, and
grinding valves. adjusting car
buretors, or setting spark plugs
she takes in stride. Even down to
using the hoist, which is no job
for a novice, she operates by
sheer dint of muscle and expert
knowledge.
Of course il would be folly to
state that she took up machine
repair just like that, for she has
a brother, Robert. who more or
less steered her into this line of
work for which she has a deep
attachment.
Marjorie carries her attach
ment for things mechanical to
the extent of riding a motorcycle
to and from work. She originally
came to Michigan for a vacation,
accepting a job at a garage on
12-Mile Road, but quickly saw
the opportunities in larger city.
But, lest you get the wrong i'm
preston, Marjorie interested
herself in All work back in
Iowa which means that she
learned how to cook, bake, and
can fruit and vegetables.
Following her graduation
from Storm Lake High School
she entered Iowa State Teachers

81 years, for eight years super

Except for minor business con4

Platform Makers Get Request
for Free and Honest Press

CHICAGO, July Is - P). -
A spokesman for the nations
editors told Democratic platform
drafters today that "a free and
honest press" throughout the
world would lessen the chance
of future wars and increase the
likelihood of an enduring peace.
John S. knight, publisher of
the Detroit Free Press and other
papers and president of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors, thus added his voice to
mounting demands for national
policy designed to promote UNI
impeded movement of news.
Knight submitted his state
ment as Senator Carl A. Hatch,
member of the platform COM
mittee, made plans to seek adop-
ton of a clear-cut declaration
for worldwide free press as
"a guarantee against futur e
wars" Hatch Endorsed the prin-
ciples embodied in a proposed
plank submitted yesterday by
Kent Cooper, executive director
and general manager of the AS
ISOLATED Press.
Postwar planning, Knight de-
clared today, must include the
fundamental of constitutional
freedoms, the Importance of a
free press in a reconstructed
world and the inter dependence
of a free country and a free
press"
Asserting people do not desire
war, Knight said they would
discourage it eff the real causes
or motives for war were exposed
through the daily publication of
news free from the influence of
self interest"
Senator Truman, (D-Mo.), an
other member of the committee,
told reporters he is call for such
a provision in the peace treaty"

LANSING. July Is - R) -
The State Bar of Michigan re-
ceived both applause and criti-
cism today for its order that
lawyers who are members Of
the Legislature must not accept
fees from persons or groups
having special interest in iesis-
lative actions.
Auditor General Vernon j.
Brown, a veteran of five terms
in the House of Representatives,
called the opinion containing the
order "a fine forward step" He
suggested that other professional
organizations should feel chal-
lenged to curb lobbying by their
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
State Treasurer D. Hale
Brake, a former senator. said he
agreed with the rules purpose
and conceded it was drawn be-
cause of what he said were vic
ious practiseS. But he insisted
the Bar had gone too far" and
that literal Interpretation of its
order would prevent any but a
wealthy lawyer from serving IN
the Legislature.
Attorney General Herbert j.
Rushton, on whose petition d
grand jury investigation of leg
islative practises was under
taken and now is in progress,
applauded the order for frank
ly stating what can and what
can't be done legally and ethic-
ally, although this shouldn't be
necessary"

"stricter enforcement" of laws
Furnishing the taking OF brides
should be sufficient deterrent
in other professions, and make
it unnecessary for them to issue
new rules on the ethics involved.
Kim Sigler, who succeeded
RuShton as prosecutor of the
grand jury. said 1.-The State Bar
is to be commended for taking
a sound position on matter OF
Importance to the people OF
Michigan"
The Bar drew praise, too,
from State Senator Harry F..
Hittle, an influential Lansing
legislator who is an attorney.
He said he thought it was "a
good step" and that he would
be willing to help anyone draw
a bill giving statutory effect TO
law forbidding legislators, re-
gardless of their occupation, TO
represent special interests.
Brown said the reasons for
thes Bars utterance were we'll
illustrated by the experiences
of a lawyer-legislator who was
one of his colleagues in the
House. He said the legislator
retired after serving two terms
because he lost SO many clients
for refusing to consider their
special interests when he voted.
A less strong minded man
might have betrayed his public
trust"
COLORS ATTITUDE
Brown said, you and I both
have seen times when the
Speakers gavel fell to open a
session of the House of Repre-
sentatives, when some of the
lobbyists went to the galleries,
and others who were members
of the House went to their seats.
They weren't all lawyers. either.
You can't get fair legislation
from men representing some in
terest and trying to represent
the people, too. They should be
required to resign from any
special or pressure group before
they sit in the legislature.
I'm aware that the banker
can't divorce himself from his
Interest in banking, and the
grocer can't divorce himself
from his interest in his line Of
work, but they still can be loyal
to their consciences. They should
not be paid to represent groups
of bankers and grocers while
serving in the legislature"
Brake said he agreed with the
bar that a lawyer legislator
should not represent interests
conflicting with those Of the
people at large.
But" he continued, taking
the language of the order liter
ally, l call attention TO the fact
that a lawyer member of the
legislature could not get a di-
vorce for a dairy farmer. The
farmer might and probably
would be directly interested in
milk control legislation. The
divorce would have no connec-
ton with that, but nevertheless
under the wording of the COM
mittee's report, the lawyer
would be barred from handling
the divorce case. The commit
tee probably did not intend to
60 that far, but that's what they
