LAST YEAR at this time I en-
jOyed the acquaintance of a BUSH
ness man whose salary was $50,-
600 a year. | looked upon him
with a great deal of admiration
and respect for several reasons.
He earned what he has with hard
work and know-how His en-
ployees, numbering above ten
thousand, call him Uncle Frank.
He lives in a small town and
helps a lot of people in a quiet
way.
Last week somebody showed me
a page Of a pocket-size magazine
published for the employees Of
mis- company and l read with
grave interest that his pay had
been cut. That was news by any
body's standard; most people are
getting raises in pay these days.
What's more, this mans pay-cut
is big 1t amounts to more In a
year than most men manage to
accumulate in a whole lifetime.

"While l was placing that piece

close to the wall as I could. AS the
rest of the lining caved in, pocket

only injury | received was a bruise
on the arm when struck by big
rock" he said.
The we'll was lined with large
rocks, some the size of a melon,
which collapsed. Stewart said he
had plenty of air, and that he heard
his rescuers all the time.

LANGSTON, May IL (ANP)-
DR.. R. P. Perry, research chemist

covery of a new local anesthetic.
The compound, referred to tempo

Perry's research in the field of

ing tested in the medical laborator-
les at Howard university by DR..
Walter M. Becker of the depart

EAC2 is much more desirable
anesthetic than many other SUBJ

Tests to determine the effective
ness of the substance in the growth
of agricultural products will be
conducted by DR.. T. P. Dooley of
the Prairie View State college.
Drs. Perry, Booker and Dooley

The assurance of the defeat of

the most outstanding in human
history, the retiring President
said While a great deal has
been accomplished, he insisted,
there was plenty still TO be

audience. however, that the as

lies within the leaven of spirit
ual truth implanted in human
consciousness by Christ Jesus 10
centuries ago.

opportunities before us. Let us
be eager to help solve the po-

problems confronting the hu-

change, but confidently expect
change. Let us resolve TO eX-

of thought natural to man"

Logic, Bay City Republican, and
Charles c. Digs, Detroit Dem
ocrat, on legislative graft con-
spiracy charges as Special Pros
ecutor Kim Sigler prepared to
end his case today.
Only two state witnesses re-
main to take the stand - for
mer state senator Chester M.
Howell of Saginaw, and Hardin
F. Davis, of Bay City, secretary
of the East Michigan Tourist and
Resort Association.
The defendants are accused by
Circuit Judge Leland w. Carr'S
one-man grand jury investigat-
ing graft in state government of
accepting brides from Howell,
confessed "pay-off man." after
helping kill in senate committee
1941 bill designed to regulate
horse racing and pari-mutuel
betting. The bill earlier had
passed the House.
Sigler. in his opening state
ment to the jury Monday, said
the state would attempt to prove
that Logic received $500 and
Diggs $3.50 from Howell, and
that "these three senators agreed
among themselves, for money, tc
kill this bill" Howell, who re.
signed from the senate after
pleading guilty to another graft
charge, has been granted i'm
munity from prosecution in this
case.
Albert W. Black, of Bay City,
attorney for Logic, declared in
his opening statement that Logic
would take the stand in his own
defense and deny emphatically
any statement Of Chester M
Howell connecting him with the
horse racing bill, or with the
transfer of any money"
1--WE will show" Black said,
"that at no time or place did
Howell give Logic one dollar as
ascribed here, or for any other
purpose. * He will state that
he never accepted, was given,
or agreed to take a dollar for the
passage of the bill"
Black asserted that his client
'knew Howell but there was
never any intimacy, community
of interests, or business between
them," and that he never
agreed at any time or place, with
Howell or any other person, to
kill the bill, or with any other
person at any time or place to
kill that bill or any other bill"
James r. Golden, of Battle
Creek, Digs attorney, in his
opening statement said that
Diggs also would take the wit
ness stand to deny that at any
time in his senate career was he
paid any money, or that he en-
tered into any conspiracy X X
with any person." and that he
would tell exactly what hap
pened."
The usual procedure in Grim
inal cases is for defense attor-
ncys TO withhold their opening
remarks until the prosecution
has finished its case.
Both Logic and Digs were
convicted last summer of graft
conspiracy in the finance trial
the first to be held as the re-
suit of the grand jury investi-
cation.

court Monday allower Mrs. Sadie
Steede a nominal" amount Of
damages IN d suit against Mason
tie Corporation of Laurel on
charges that effluent discharges
by that company had ruined her
fishing camp business on the Pas

In allowing Mrs. Steed dam

ed itself in an earlier decision
In the earlier decision the court
had reversed d Jackson County
circuit court ruling which has
allowed Mrs. Steede damages.
The case was heard in spring

last year at which time the court
allowed Mrs. Steede So, 500 dam
ages. In the suit instituted b
MIS-. Steede, a little more than
$4,000 had been asked in settle
ment Il was brought out that
the business had suffered from
his discharge previously and that
Masanite had settled with the
~omElainant for damages in l941
md 1912 but had refused to do
so in 1913.
Appealed to supreme court,
mt bod in the first decision
reversed the decision of the
lower court On the grounds
that the complainant had failed
to prove with a reasonable de-
gree Of certainty any loss Of
groiits." Reversing this ruling

lowed Mrs. Steede nominal
damages, thus demanding the
