Mr.. Parrish identified his abduc-
tors as j. C. Vyse and Charles
Townsend, both of Pontiac, who
escaped from the Sanilac County

ing sentence tomorrow after pead-
ing guilty to the armed robbery

men in Mr.. Parrish's automobile
to tourist camp miles north

PROCLAMATION

In a dark, War-torn world, one bright emblem has emerged as a symbol of mercy-the Red Cross. The emblem signifies a civilian army of mercy whose services to our armed forces abroad, to vet erans and families here at home, are an intending story.
 In wartime and in peace, this civilian armys battle is contin- ually being fought. There is no conceivable turn this war can take which will lessen to any great degree the responsibilities of this army, the work of the American Red Cross. Tn fire, famine, tornado, flood, the Red Cross is ready with emergency relief, shelter, food, clothing and rehabilitation programs for the destitute. To fight the battle of injury and disease, the Red Cross has expanded to a mammoth de- gree it's home nursing, nurse re- cruitment, first aid, nutrition, and disaster service. The Red Cross has saved the lives of countless wounded through it's Blood Donor Service.
 To fight the battle of loneliness and anxiety, the Red Cross has stationed many thousand men and women with our fighting forces at home and abroad. Red Cross club workers provide enter tainment and relaxation to ser vicemen on leave; Red Cross hos pital workers administer to the sick and wounded. Through its Home Service program, the Red Cross assisted $500 servicemen and families last year. Relief to prisoners of war and to refugees in occupied countries is another manifestation of Red Cross sur vey.
 The month of March has been set aside for this annual appeal to the Nation. urge all people of Alaska to give generously, for only through your volunteer con- tributions can the American Red Cross continue it's great work. GIVE NOW-GIVE MORE."
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my hand and caused the Seal of the Territory of Alaska to be affixed. Done at the City of Juneau this first day of February in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-five.

tie-in agreements as a means of evasion, and specifically forbid the requirement to purchase fur niture.
 Necessity for prohibiting tie-in sales as conditional to renting came when reports showed that the practice was becoming wide spread throughout the country. Cases have been reported where tenants have been asked to pay anywhere from S650 to $25OO for furniture worth not half the ask ing price as a condition to rent ing a house or an apartment. The practice has already received much public attetion on the West Coast. In scattered cases throughout the country, OPA has succeeded in obtaining injunctions against landlords using this de- vice to break rent ceilings.

Henry H. Corens, A, Bethesda,
who was convicted of second-degree
murder Saturday night in Anne
Arundel County Circuit Court at
Annapolis in the death of his wife,
was to seek new trial today be-
fore Judge James Clark.
The jury deliberated nearly six
hours before returning its verdict
at 11:12 pm. If the motion for a
new trial is denied, Corens prob
ably will be sentenced Immediately
Defense Attorneys said they would
base their motion for a new trial
on the grounds that the court erred
in admitting in evidence various
boxes which turned out to be empty.
These boxes, according to pros
ecution testimony, had contained
blood spots, human muscle tissue
and human fatty tissue found on
various articles taken from the
Corens' home at 4515 Gladwyne
