Denes Firing Eisenhower

Manila, June g -CUP)- Gen. Douglas MacArthur formally de- nied today that he had discharged Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as his chief of staff in the Philippines before the war.
 The allegation that Macarthur had fired" Eisenhower appeared in a column by Drew Pearson yester- day. Eisenhower served under Mac to 1889.
 The text of MacArthur's state ment:
 My attention has been called to a press dispatch claiming that I fired general, then colonel, Eisen. hover. during his Philippines tour of duty with me.
 There is absolutely no truth in such a statement. The facts are quite the contrary.
 This officer was my chief of staff and performed splendidly as he always does.
 The ordinary tour of foreign service in time of peace is two years. On my special application, Eisenhower was given a second tour and served with me for four years. released him then with the great est reluctance.
 speculation to the contrary does him a grave injustice"

Cold Weather
Means More Fires
SAYS Chief AnseInl

eff you see the fire trucks going
by more often in cold weather, it's
because cold weather means more
fires" Chief Gustav Anselm said
today. reminding Wyandotte resi-
dents of winter fire dangers.
Turning on the heat at home Is
one Of the biggest causes of fire,
the chief explained.
Many heating fires begin in the
furnace ROOM" the chief pointed
out, either because the furnace is
defective, or because it is not given
the right care. The furnace should
never be forced, or allowed to over
heat"
Fire-resistant roofs, clean CHM
neyS and proper insulation were
stressed by Chief Anselm for fire
prevention.

few companies of our size will
equal. Our committee members
have done an excellent Job, and
both plant and office employees
have responded in way that even
exceeded our expectations. When
the Treasury Department assigned
a $4S5.1S7.50 "E" Bond quota in
the Mighty Seventh, I thought we
were tackling the impossible. That
quota figured IS per cent of a

not only made their quota, they
topped it."
