CASE OUTLINED

With William II. McKeighan.
former mayor Of Flint, Mckay is
accused Of corrupting the liquor
control system by controlling pur-
chases and distribution.
Gallagher contended that the
indictment is defective because il
does not charge a crime against
Michigan statues. Sigler replied
"NO one can question the
criminal liability Of these de-
PENDANTS when it has been
shown at their examination that
they controlled the liquor sys-
tenn for their own personal gain.
Through their political
power they were able to extend
preference 10 distilfers they
represented, and TO block orders
for others"
Judge Carr agreed in 3 state
ment from the bench that there
was justification for the indict-
ment and that il was returned in
accordance with the Law.

Washington. June 1.-(UP)-The government will cancel all lend lease and foreign relief meat ship ments during July, August and Sep tember, it was learned today.
 The action is expected to increase slightly the share of U. s. civilians.
 Removal of meat from lend-leaSe for 8 period of at least three months will affect Russia more than any one else. During April, May and June the Soviet Union was assigned 300, GOO, 900 pounds out of the lend- lease total of 325, 100000 pounds, mostly canned "tushonka," beef and pork combination.
 Officials said the denial of meat for foreign relief would come as a grave disappointment" to liberated peoples. Only meat exports in July, August and September will be for the U. s. Armed Forces. The clamp down was seen as a move to ease the extremely tight situation here at home.
 Officials said improved distribu- tion is expected to make consider ably larger quantities available in areas now suffering the worst short ages.
 Disclosures of the ban on meat for export paralelled these other developments on the food front:
 Price Chief Chester Bowles, announcing a vigorous campaign to prevent "chiseling'' in the use of sugar for home canning, announced that henceforth applicants for home canning sugar must sign pledge agreeing to use the extra rations for that purpose only.
 He authorized local ration boards to suspend issuance of sugar can- ming stamps temporarily and as- signed a special staff of Investigators to look into illegal use of home canning sugar.
 Immediately after Bowles' an- nouncement issuance of home can- ming stamps was halted in the six New England states and in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and the Dis trict of Columbia.

Weather Imperils
 Food Production

2.-Agricultura experts reported that unfavorable spring weather in the U. s. and Canada might imper1 this years important food produc- ton. Warm, sunny weather is urgently needed, they said.
 3.-Army food officials attending & National Army Food Conference in New Orleans said the American public would suffer no general food shortage as a result of shifting troops from the European theater to the Pacific.
 Faced with the tremendous supply task of feeding an ever-increasins Army in the Pacific, the off1ciak promised Yank doughboys would continue to be the best-fed in the world"
 The abandonment of lend-lease meat shipments is largely, if not entirely, due to curtailment of lend- lease resulting from the end of the European war.
 Congress has suggested a check on proposed exports of relief sugar in view of the growing scarcity here. Allocation officials report, however, that even if present allotments are sent Europeans will get an average of only 30 pounds per person per year compared with the U. s. civ- ilian share of 72 pounds in 1945.

dren and no over-65 wife, or an over-65 wife and one such child the total becomes $66.26.
 In your case that $66.26 is the limit. The rule is that no benefi- ciary, on account of himself, his wife and children, can draw more than twice his primary monthly rate or $85 a month, whichever is smaller.
 To indicate the importance of freezing your benefit rate right now, let's take the illustration used here and suppose that you do not freeze now, but continue working for five more years, but your postwar in- come drops to $15 week, average, allowing for layoffs.
 At the end of that time your to- tai of insured earnings has risen to $19,319. But the number of months has risen to 159, and your average monthly wage has dropped tc $120.37. This cuts your primary benefit rate to $3O.83 and your fam fly maximum to $6166 a month.
 If you freeze" now, your rate stays at the $33.13 figure no mat ter how little you earn hereafter But if, on the other hand, you should get $3,000 job for that next five years, after freezing, and ther retire, you can ask recomputatior and build up the benefit to $38.78 8 month.

Veterans of the U. s. 1st Army on March swept across the Rhine between Cologne and Coblenz and established a bridgeh d. T h e crossing meant that the heart of Germany had been preached.
 It was the first time since 1905 that the legendary Rhine-an inn passable barrier in the minds of the Germans-had been crossed The bridgehead was expanded quickly as tons of supplies and thousands of troops poured across the river to the east bank.
 The string of unbroken victories extended back to the west bank ot the river as the 1st and Sd Armies climaxing a series of lightning moves, joined force between Remagen and Coblenz, trapping at least five German divisions.
 Saar Basin Conquered
 As the 1st Army fought to ex- pand its bridgehead on the east bank of the Rhine. Allied armies were lined up on the other side from Coblenz north to Nijmegen preparing for the final onslaught.
 Conquest of the rich Saar Basin was just about complete by March 21, with 96,O0O enemy casualties counted. On the same date, 1st Army troops, driving for the Ruhr smashed three and one-half miles across the Rhine plain. Berlin pre- dicted that massive Allied airborne landings across the Rhine were imminent.
 On the eastern front, the battle tempo also was increasing. The Russians, mopping up the Eastern Baltic port system, had driven tc within four miles of Danzig. Jittery German broadcasts said that great Soviet forces were poised for per haps the supreme drive on Berlin 30 to 35 miles distant.

Over-65 workers must retire be- fore they can begin to draw Old Age Insurance. But they can freeze" their benefit rates as soon as, being fully insured they have reached 6S.
 In order to be fully insured you must have earned at least $50 taxed for Old Age Insurance, in each Of at least half of the calendar quar- ters from January l, 1887, to the quarter in which your 65th birthday falls.
 The maximum that you can draw monthly under any circumstances, regardless of the size of your family, is $85. Few men over 65, with wives over 65, have dependent unmarried children under Is. So the most that the typical beneficiary yet can ex- pect to draw would be S65.40 a month. This would be for a man who, since January l, 1887, had been employed continuously in covered jobs at not less than S250 a month. COMPUTE BENEFITS
 Nobody could afford deliberately to retire on S65 40 month. But Ii one had small savings, or some other source Of partial support, a monthly check for $20, $50 or s65. 40 would be very welcome addition to family income.
 And fortunately, retirement does not mean quite the same in Social Security as elsewhere. You can earn up to Sl5 a month in covered em- ployment, or any amount in uncov- cred employment or in your own business, and still get the monthly Old Age Insurance benefits.
 If you want to compute your own benefit rights, or to understand the computation made for you at the Social Security field office, here Is the formula:
 l. Take the total of taxed salary reported to you by the Boards Bal timore office in response to your in- quiry on Form OAR-7004. Add to it any taxed earnings between the date shown on that report and the beginning of the calendar quarter in which you consider retiring.
 2. Divide this sum by the num- Der of calendar months from Jan- uary ], 1887, to the beginning of the
