w its most valuable
discoveries some years
back because two English hunters
happened to stumble upon a drama OF
murder deep in the wilds of Africa.
The EngliShmen, wing a
strange trail, came unObServed into
a clearing where a ceremony was just
beginning inside jungle witch doc
tors hut. Fearing that their sudden
appearance might anger the natives,
they withdrew quickly into the brush
and peered out on scene few White
men ever saw before.
The front of the thatehed grass
house was open, revealing the witch
doctor-fat, ugly and scowling seat
ed on a throne.like chair. At one side,
his understudy was stirring a bub-
bling potion in a big earthen pot
over a fire. Several hundred men,
women and children Squatted in fas-
cination before the hut.
The witch doctor took a Steaming
cup of the brew from the fire and,
holding it aloft, began a long Spd
angry speech. The Englishmen gatfs'
cred that some rugged upstart had
dared to challenge the Medicine Mans
powers. And that worthy, whose con-
tributions of goats flesh, fowl and
the like from the villagers had doubt
less started slipping, probably called
this meeting TO force a showdown
and protect his racket
From the throng, the witch doc
tor summoned a tall. sullen warrior
obviously his encmy-and began
berating him scornfully. Then he
called for cup of the mixture from
the simmering pot. This was forced
into the warriors reluctant hands.
Then the witch doctor raised his cup.

challenged. Drink, and IL my medi-

be unharmed. Drink, cowardly one,
or be known no longer as a warrior
but as a woman"
The man yielded, and the pair
drained their potions simultaneously
The witch doctor lowered his cup
with a grim smirk. The warrior
screamed and sank to the ground,
clutching his middle. He rolled and
twisted for moment in agony, then
lay dead. An awed murmur arose
from the tribesmen; never again
would they doubt their witch doctor
The Englishmen got out of there
fast. They told their story when they
got back to Capetown and a scientist
who happened to hear it was able
later, for a bribe, TO extract from an
other witch doctor the secret of the
cup that killed.
Its magic, the scientist learned,
came from the Strophanthus. lush

Passing OF Anti-Union
Bill Urged By Rankin

Washington (FP).-An appeal to
report out HR.3384 guaranteeing vet
erans the right to work without join
ing labor unions was made to the
House rules committee Oct. 5 by Rep.
John Rankin Cd. Miss.), author of the
bill.
"Our men in the armed forces were
not fighting for the right to join a
picket line" he said. "They want to
work and they have the right to
work"
"Terming the current strike wave a
communist inspired revolution in dis
guise, he said strikes were "being
forced on the country at time when
millions of our young men are still
in the service an when the ones who
have been discharged are being denied
the right to work"

More than 400 pickets held in jail
as police continued their unsuccessful
efforts to stop mass picketing were
released on their own recognizance
when the strike-lockout ended. Fire
hoses, tear gas bombs and clubs had
not broken the picket lines more than
momentarily in recent weeks.

back-to-poverty plan at a party for a
group of reporters who have been
travelling the U. S. by plane, under
auspices of the National Association
of Manufacturers, reporting the sad
plight of the NAM members, who find
people still want to be paid decent
wages, even though the wars over.
The auto industry, Wilson said,
can't afford to pay a 800 higher
hourly rate, unless OPA lets it bump
auto selling prices accordingly. IN
stead he suggested that 45 or 4o-
hour work week be established with
overtime only after 45 or 48 hours.
The manufacturers then, he said,
might agree to SO or 8% increase
in hourly rates.
His proposal would amount to Sc
pay cut, even for men lucky enough to
work 48 hours. But without the gov
ernment brea athing down it's neck for
quick delivery, the industry would hire
men for overtime hours, the union
men point out, so the pay cut would
be greater. With unemployment in
creasing in the country, plants could
hire all the men they want for 40
hour week. And 40 hours with a 5-S%o
increase would be a cut of more than
1870 in take-home pay.

Escape

"How did you do it," yelled
everyone at the pilot, Lieut.. AS.
chenbach, whose wife Lillian
lives at 60 Smith street, Mount
Clemens.
"Darned if I know" he an
swered. Il know Sgt. Brown
master Sgt. Curtis H. Brown,
crew chief of Albuquerque
would raise hell with me II
didn't bring her home, so here
she is"
Then the crew told the al
most incredible story of the
mission:
"A second after bombs away
flax knocked out our No. 4 en-
CINE" Lieut.. Aschenbach said.
The stuff was pounding all
around us and we must have
been passing through an intense
barrage. The oxygen system was
shot out-we were at $1,000
feet; the radio was shot out:
our bomb-bay doors wouldn't
close; the tail gunner reported
trouble; l couldn't feather No. 4
engine and everything happen
ed at once. Believe me 1t was q
rough few minutes.
Il finally made the men In
the tail understand what had
happened and they got on port
able oxygen bottles, with the
engineer refilling them and
passing them back. When things
quoted down we checked up
on the flax damage, found the
waist gunner had a miraculous
escape, with a piece of flax
passing right through his oxy-
gen mask but not touching his
face. The navigator got two
pieces right through his leg and
was covered with broken plexi-
glass from the nose of the ship.
But fortunately no one was in
jured. We later found the gaso-
line tanks punctured, holes in
the wings and fuselage, and
three engines had to be chang
ed.

form is more desirable, some OF
which arguments are sound ana
some unsound. This literature IS
issued by various organizations
interested in promoting TINS
form of government, and nat
urally they present it in its
most favorable light.
To many people, the whole
debate over whether we should
have a new City Manager form
of government, or retain the
Commission form is largely aca-
demic. 1t is argued, and with
considerable force and reason,
that form of local government
is unimportant, but that the per-
sonnet who make up the gov
eminent is all important. II
able, competent, and qualified
men run for the offices of Com
missioner and Mayor, and are
elected by the people, the city
will be just as well operated
under the Commission form of
government as under the City
Manager form on the other
hand, if incompetent men are
elected, it will be just as poorly
and inefficiently operated UNI
der the City Manager form as
under the Commission form. 1t
might be far worse if we OBJ
tanned a poor or incompetent
City Manager, and this could
happen and has happened in
other cities.
PERSONNEL is KEY
So it can we'll be argued that
emphasis should not be placed
on changing the form of govern
ment, as that of itself will cor
rect no evils nor cause any
change in conditions, but en-
phasis should be placed upon
continuing to urge able and
competent citizens to perform
their public duties and run for
the offices to be filled, as a
public service. If this is done,
there is no need for change.
If it is not done, a change will
do no good. Then why change?
Mount Clemens has been for
tunate in the past in having had
competent men with enough
sense of civic responsibility to
assume the burdens Of these Of
fices which pay practically
nothing. AS result the Com
mission form of government has
operated successfully for a pc
riod of ~ years, and just how
successfully can be gathered by
inquiry at the offices of the
Michigan Municipal League in
Ann Arbor which will tell you
that Mount Clemens is recog-
nized as one of the better gov
erned cities of the state.

satisfaction and a desire for I'M
interrupted administration. 9th
ers may refrain from seeking
office due TO the heavy demands
on their time, not only in at
tending commission meetings,
but also in administering the

responsibility, the grief, the Oft

from this necessary public serv-

If the city were TO adopt the
Manager Plan, membership on
the council could become less

and the Cologne Plain.
The Third Army advanced to
within a mile of Pruem and
reached the Pruem river eight
miles inside the Reich.
The French First Army broke
the last German opposition
south of Strasbourg and drew
up to the Upper Rhine banks
on a 90-mile front from north Of
Strasbourg TO Switzerland.
Like an avalanche which
moves slowly at first, Gen. Els
enhoWer's offensive along the
Western Front was gathering
power.
The British and Canadian
troops of Gen. Henry -Crerar's
Canadian First Army were
fighting less than eight miles
from the elbow of the Rhine.
Infantry, flame throwers and
tanks met tough opposition in
spots but at no point were the
Germans able to check their
momentum.
NORTHERN TERMINAL
Kleve is the northern termi-
nal Of the permanent Siegfried
Line defenses. 1t lies 80 miles
northwest of Duisburg, gateway
to the industrial Ruhr-alWays
Germany's main arsenal but of
increased Importance now that
the Russians have overrun the
industries of Silesia and the
U S. Third Army has interdict-
ed much of the Saarland's pro-
duction.
The Canadian First Army Of
fensive was in grand scale force
and it was the first time that the
First Army, heavily bolstered
by British troops, had been
turned from its left flank an
Choir role and hurled eastward
against the Reich.
Casualties were described Of
ficially as light. Every indica-
ton was that the Germans were
caught by surprise, at least by
the force of the onslaught which
was preceded by an 11-hour
barrage and bombing and STRAIT
ing attacks by at least 1900
planes, many of them heavy
bombers.
HAMPER FOE
The aerial sealing off Of the
front made it unlikely that the
Germans could get reinforce
ments up quickly to the new
area of peril. At the point of
the Canadian attack, the Allies
were within $50 miles Of the
Russian armies pressing upon
Berlin from the East.
AT least 1000 German rail-
cars were damaged or destroy
ed-a terrific toll when heaped
upon the wholesale destruction
of recent weeks of rail cutting
and train busting in this whole
northern front.
The effect already was so
great that German troops shift
ing from one sector of the front
were known to be having to use
transit facilities deep in Ger
