City 10 Speed
Peak Traffic
Grand River Will Get
New Light Controls
BY CHARLES WEBER

A new system OF traffic light
control TO speed the flow of auto
mobiles during peak periods will
be installed on Grand River within
two months, il was announced
Saturday by Lloyd {. Reid, city
traffic engineer.
Reid said that the new equip
ment would be installed at North
western High School and control
traffic lights on Grand RlNer from
Trumbull 10 Llvernol>
The intricate equipment can
he set 10 control the traffic lights
in accordance with changing con-
ditlonS. every hour Of the day.
LONGER AT PEAK
Under the new system. the
length OF TINE for green lights
would be extended for inbound
traffic on Grand River during
the morning peak period and for
outbound traffic during the eve
ming peak period.
II the master central mechan-
ism were set for 25-mlle an hour
speeds, a motoriSt could theorcti-
Cally drive on Grand River at
that rate during the morning rush
hour downtown or the evening
rush hour outbound and never en-
counter red traffic light.
SLOWS OPPOSITE TRAFFIC
The small amount OF traffic
coming from the opposite dlrec-
ton during these peak hours
would necessarily be slowed since
the traffic lights could not be
Kynchronized for both outbound
and inbound traffic because of The
variable distances between inter
sections.

 Pan American announced yester- day in New York that it had asked the U. s. government to relay to the British government an offer to raise its New York to London rate to $375 if allowed five trips a week. Pan American said it understood that its competitor, American Air lines, had been offered the three trips a week cancelled by the British government, if they were flown at the $572 fare.

 Mcvay graduated from Annapolis in June, 1919, as an ensign and was promoted to his present rank on June 18 1942. He assumed com mand of the Indianapolis on Nov. IS, 1944. Previously he had been awarded the Silver Star for "con- spicuous gallantry and intrepedity in action" as executive officer of the cruiser Cleveland during the bombardment of Kolombangara in the Solomons.
 Under Navy law, should McVay be found guilty of the charges, he would be subject to dismissal from the Naval service, confinement or a reduction in rank. On the other hand, as in civil courts, he should be acquitted and restored to duty. Navy court decisions are reviewed by the Judge Advocates depart ment to determine legality of the proceedings.

 Of the 1,196 officers and men aboard the Indianapolis when she went down, 880 have been listed by the Navy as lost. The remainder suffered injuries or exposure. It was five days after the disaster be- fore the survivors were picked up.
 The Nays charges against Nc Way concerned only details involved in the actual sinking of the ship and the course it pursued. He was not blamed for events which oc- cured after the men were in the water or the lack of an escort for the cruiser, which was proceeding to Leyte from Guam, where 1t had delievered atomic bomb material.
 The charges did not specify how the 16-year-old Indianapolis met her fate. It is believed to have been torpedoed by a Japanese sub- marine or to have rammed a sub- marine.
 The charges, signed by Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal, were addressed to Capt Thomas J. Ryan, Jr., trial judge advocate. He read them to McVay. The accused was represented by Capt. John P. Cady of Providence, R. l., also Navy of- t1cer.
 Because of grave nature of the charges, Navy spokesmen be- lieve that the trial will continue for at least two weeks, "or even a month" Some witnesses, it was pointed out, may have to be brought here by the Navy from their Pacific or Atlantic fleet assignments.
 The opening of the court-martial is one step in the Navy's attempt to learn full details of the Indian apolis' sinking. The Navy Inspector Generals department is conducting parallel investigations of events pre- ceding and following sinking of the ill-fated ship. Should the inquiry indicate additional negligence on

 Being Fitted

Continued from Page D mans recent journey through Eur ope, the Middle East and Atrlca' which gave him an opportunity to confer wiht many important per- sonages in those areas has brought him into prominence as church diplomat.
 Although official Vatican circles have retained a non-comm1ttal at titude on the possibility of Arch bishop Spellman becoming papal secretary of state, 1t was generally agreed that his appointment would have deep international signlt- canoe.
 Although the Vatican officially maintains a hands-off politics att1- tude, high church sources admitted that Pope Plus XII desired top diplomatic representative to hand the negotiations that will have to be undertaken with newly-formed European governments and with the major powers in their various spheres of influence.
 Holds Great Prestige
 A reliable Vatican source said the New York prelate enjoyed great prestige within the papal state for his record as an official of the sec retariat of state during his earlier stay in Rome and also for his war time relief work.
 He also is credited with having performed valuable work on num- Der of delicate political issues in re- cent years when he became the most direct and authoritative link between the Vatican and the United States government.
 Further supporting the possibility of his appointment is the fact that Archbishop Spellman long has been a close personal friend of the pon- tiff.
 Tradition Stumbling Block
 Those circles inclined to discount the likelihood of his receiving the papal secretariat however, pointed out that his appointment would leave vacant the archdiocese of New York, one of the most impor- tant sees in the world.
 Tradition also rules against his receiving that post, although the Spanish Cardinal Merry del Val served in that capacity from 1903 until 1914. With few exceptions, however, the Vatican secretariat usually has been held by an Italian prelate.

plated by the German High com mand were destruction of the Brit ish embassy in Prague during an air raid, the killing of British or French Nationals during the course of the war and the violation Of Polish territory by German aircraft.
 Tn the case of German planes flying over Poland the experts rec commended that an attempt be made to deny the violation. If that wasn't successful. 1t was suggested, an apology should be made to the Poles accompanied with an offer to compensate them for any damage.
 Jodrs Diary Introduced
 The diary of Gen. Alfred Jodl was introduced to show the devious workings of Hitler's mind and the high command plans while the seizure of Czechoslovakia was being planned.
 An undated entry between March and May, 1888, said "the Fuehrer mentions that there is no hurry to solve the Czech question because Austria must be digested first"
 On May 21, the Czechs concen- trated troops on the German Czech frontier the slightest cause, Jodl contended-and Hitler changed his mind. He decided he couldn't wait.
 "The consequences would lead to loss of prestige of the Fuehrer. which he would not be willing to ac- cept again" Jodl wrote.
 Conflict on Action
 On May 30, 1888, Hitler signed Directive Green" the master plan for the invasion of Czechoslovakia on which the high command had been working for many weeks.
 Jodl wrote disgustedly in his diary, "the whole contrast between the Fuehrer's intuition that we must do it this year and opinion of the army that we cannot do it yet be- comes acute"
 The Luftwaffe had plans ready in early June to fight France in event she decided to declare war if Ger many moved against the Czechs, another document showed. A mem- orandum of Joachim von Ribbon tropS showed that Italy knew of Hitler's intentions.
 Warnings Asked
 Benito Mussolini asked for suf- ficient warning before the attack for him to get his French frontier defenses ready. The Hungarians, too, wanted a share of the Czech spells but asked more time to pre- | pare.
 Through all the scheming, though, Hitler contended that England and France would remain tranquil If the Germans struck. England would not recklessly risk her en- pire," he said.
 American Prosecutor Sidney AL derman announced that the British would open their case against the 20 Nazi leaders tomorrow. There after the British and American prosecutors will alternate in pre- senting evidence. The French will follow with details of crimes against humanity in the west, and the Rus- sians will cover the east.
 The trial may end in early March, according to present indica- tions.
