Scores Lawyers For
Stand On Titles

Unwillingness of Allen County at
torneys to recognize validity of titles
to land sold for collection of delin-
quent taxes was blamed by County
Auditor Floyd w. Griffin for costs
to the county of thousands of dol
lars.
The auditor cited state statutes
providing that all liens and encum-
brances become invalid in forfeited
tax sales, and said recent Supreme
Court ruling has sustained the law.
Despite this, he said, attorneys ad-
wise clients to test the validity of
each title. This, he said dissuades
many persons from bidding for the
properties.
Auction sales of delinquent lands
have been conducted for the past
five years, and a sixth sale will open
this spring, Mr.. Griffin said.

Alger Gunner One Of
First To Enter Manila

Pfc. Elmer ]. Risner of Alger, a
machine gunner was one of the first
to enter Manila when the "Flying
Squadron" of the famous First Cal
vary Division crashed through Jap
defenses to capture Santo Tomas
university helping to liberate some
$500 civilian Allied internees.
Riding the victory bandwagon, Ris-
ner received the thrill of a lifetime
when happy Filipinos cheered the
victors and carried them on their
shoulders through the streets.
A veteran of the Admiralty Is
lands campaign and the hard fought
Leyte battle in which he stayed in
combat 72 days, Risner was of the
opinion that the drive down the
plains of Luzon was by far the
easiest to take"
He attended McGuffey high school
and entered the service in October,
1912. He joined the First Calvary
Division, Fort Riley, Kansas, and
sailed overseas in January, 1943. A
farmer before the war, he is hoping
to return to the good earth when
it's all over. Parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Risner, live at Alger.
