ViIIoss Isolated
from World Series

Two Detroit women and an
1l.month old boy had narrow
escape from death or serious IN
jury Monday afternoon when
the car in which they were
driving south on Van Dyke ave-
nue. clipped off a utility pole
supporting high tension wires
effectively isolating the village
of Washington from radio re-
ception throughout the sixth
World Series baseball game.
SEWERS POWER LINE
The accident took place. State
Police of the Romeo detachment
said, when the driver of the car,
Mrs. Essie Huddleston. Al, of
2978 Eastlawn avenue, Detroit,
lost control of her machine two
and one-half miles south of Ro-
meo and plunged into the road
side pole. With Mrs. Huddleston,
in the car, were Mrs. Virginia
Leach, %. and her baby son,
Loren Douglas, who live at
1924 Helen avenue, Detroit.
Officers described the escape
of the women as miraculous"
in view of the fact that severed
high tension wires were shaking
over the car. They said one
power line that happened to be
insulated at that point fell di-
rectly on the wrecked car. A few
feet further on the same wire
was bare, the officers said.
MINOR INJURIES
Mrs. Leach stepped from the
door Of the car over q live wire
holding her baby in her arms.
Mrs. Huddleston and Loren suf-
fered minor bruises but were
released by q physician after
receiving first aid treatment.
The accident took place just
as avid Washington baseball
fans were sitting with ears
glued to their loud speakers al
the end of the first inning Of
the World Series game.

America To Keep Deadly Secret Of Atomic Power
PIERRE LAVAL CONDEMNED TO death

Areh-Troitor

PARIS, Oct. 9-(R)-Pierre
Laval was condemned to death
tonight for intelligence with the
enemy and attacking the secur-
ity of France.
The former Vichy Chief Of
Government, who before the war
was three times Premier OF
France, had boycotted the trial
after the opening days and had
been confined to dungeon be-
meath the Palace of Justice.
A jury of IL members Of Par

lance Movement took little time
to seal the doom of the man ac-
cused of treason. The same court
during the summer condemned

superior in the Vichy regime.
but Gen. De Gaulle committed
the sentence to life imprison-
ment.
STRIPPED OF RIGHTS
Laval was stripped of all cit
izenship rights and his property
was confiscated.
It took the jury only 81 min
utes to decide the trial which
the white-tied defendant had
called q judicial crime"
Once again, Laval was not In
the courtroom. His attorney. Al
bert Maud, quoted him as saying:
1T was what l expected all
along"
Maud said Laval took the YER
dict very calmly"
One of Lavals guards said he
refused to appear for the read
ing of the lengthy verdict.
Laval's only chance of escape
is to appeal to Gen. DeGaulle
for communication to life impris-
onment.
SHUNS APPEAL
But this, MS attorney SAID, La
val would refuse to do.
Judge Paul Mongibeaux start
ing droning out the long verdict
soon after the jurors filed in at
SIT p. m. He prounced sentence
only after the whole document
was read.
No date was fixed for execu-
ton.

The sheriff, citing an increas-
ing number of complaints con-
corning laxity upon the part Of
tavern keepers, specifically out
lined the case of a 15-year-old
school girl who came home
drunk at $3.50 a. m. Sunday. He
said that witnesses had report
ed seeing the child enter a bar
near Mount Clemens and that
while she proved reluctant to
divulge the source of her sup
ply he was investigating the
matter in an effort TO pin down
responsibility in the case.
''In the main, Macomb county
bar proprietors appear to be
conscientiously living up to the
law" the sheriff said, but in
this case there can be no excuse
offered that the child either ap-
peared of legal age or that pos
sible falsehoods as to her age
could be accepted as In any
sense excusing the offending
bartender"
The sheriff said that both ju-
venile court authorities and his
own deputies have received re-
ports of other similarly brazen
attractions of the liquor laws
and that offenders to whom
sales can be pinned face stern
action.
