Court Review

LANSING, Aug. % - (PD -
Harry H. Jackson, ousted war
den of the State Prison of Sou
thern Michigan, opened legal
battle in the State Supreme
Court Wednesday against his
dismissal on charges of malad-
ministration and laxity.
Center of q prison scandal

John r. Dethmers, jackson ar
gued through his attorneys that
the State Corrections Commits
sio nhad violated an 1893 statute
which required it to hold a
hearing before ordering a war
den dismissed. He sought a
mandamus to regain his war
denship and to force the Com
mission to give him a full hear
ing on the charges.
Jackson's attorneys contend
ed that the State Civil Service
Commission, which has been
designated to hear his appeal,
lacks jurisdiction until the Cor

AS the first such action OF a

other estimated 10000 are in
the Solomons, New Ireland and

Japan's defense plan was to
make the American advance a
costly, time consuming island

LONDON, Aug. % - R -
Early and possibly unanimous
ratification of the United Ma
tons Charter was forecast early
today as Parliament prepared to
resume at 2:15 p. m. (9:l5 a. M,
EWT) a debate punctuated with
solemn warnings of the vast po-
tentialities of the atomic bomb.
Some members advocated in
ternational control of the weap-
on during yesterdays discussion,
in which leaders of both major
parties had joined in urging
Britain to throw her weight into
the international organization
for the preservation of peace.
Laborite H. L. Austin and Sir
Arthur Salter, Independent, urg-
ed international control of the
bomb. The former expressed
anxiety about its possession by
the United States because lit
might eventually come to be in
vested in Wall Street and not
in the people of America"
Salter said the military pro-
visions of the charter would
seem obsolete in the light of the
new weapon unless it was con-
trdlled.
In the House of Lords, Lord
Jowitt, the Lord Chancellor,
said the secret of the bomb could
not be kept indefinitely, and
that an attempt to keep it would
only encourage reese arch in
methods of destruction by every
nation.

Moy Seek Aid
Of Gov. Kelly

Aroused to action by the acute
traffic problem stemming from
the bottleneck on South Ora
tiot the City Commission last
night voted to take immediate
steps to investigate the problem
and to contact the State High
way commission if necessary.
The matter was brought to a
head when a petition was filed
with the commission requesting
a traffic light for the iutersec-
ton of Clinton and North Ora
tiot. Many serious accidents have
taken place at that corner and
the commission voted to approve
the petition and referred il to
the Traffic Division.
In discussing the matter of
traffic congestion in the city,
Commissioner Fred Breitrieyer
cited the need for action on wild
ening South Gratiot starting
from Cass and extending South.
He pointed out that the Cady
and Mccoy firm is delaying
plans for erecting new build
ing at the corner of Cass and
South Gratiot. He said that they
did not want TO build until ii
was made known whether the
road would be widened or not.
MAY PETITION GOVERNOR
Members of the commission
cited State Highway Commits
sioner Charles M. ziegler's state
ment that the Highway depart
ment would not widen Gratiot
at that point. They condemned
the refusal of the department
to do something to alleviate the
bottleneck here and on Brett
meyers suggestion decided to
contact the department again
and If no action was taken to
go to the Governor.
Mayor Albert A. Wagner told
the members of the body that
committee made up of bust
nessmen is making a study of
the matter. He recommended
that the commission contact that
committee first to see what ac-
ton they had taken before send
ing a letter TO Ziegler.

journed until future date
