Lions Offer
Recreation
Plan to Citv

Mount Clemens took another
step toward increased recrea-
ton facilities last night when a
modern, fully-equipped play
ground was promised the city
by the Lions Club.
Angelo Fisher, a member of
the Board of Directors of the
Lions and head of their recrea-
ton committee, told the City
Commission that the club would
bear the entire cost of equipping
a playground if the city would
give the land.
The City Commission COM
mended the Lions club on its
generous offer and will give the
club a list of choice properties
to choose from for the location
Of the playground.
In making the offer Fisher
said that the club formerly used
Its revenue TO buy glasses for
needy children but the need for
that has practically disappeared
and the club has voted 10 invest
its money in helping the city
improve the recreational setup.
He said that the club had So
900, made from the Pow Wow,
to put into the project and he
expressed desire for immed-
late action so that the play
ground could be put into use
next summer.
Mayor Albert A. Wagner laud-
ed the clubs generosity and
brought up the City Stadium is
sue. He urged Fisher to have the
club hold the money until q
drive for funds for the stadium
was put underway and to sink
it into that.

Charge Of Liquor Sale
To Girl, II, Studied
By Abe Board

Morris Phillips, proprietor Of a
grocery and liquor store at 1345-47
r street NV, today appeared
before the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board for a hearing on charges
that a bottle of whisky was sold
to a 17-year-old colored girl in his
store last June 49, The board took
the case under advisement.
Alan Payne, board chairman, said
the board last month had recon-
mended the suspension of Mr.. Phil
lips "A" license after an ABC in
spector had seen Mr.. Phillips minor
son sell an alcoholic beverage to
a customer. In reviewing that
case, the Commissioners reversed
the boards decision and allowed
Mr.. Phillips to retain his license.

In testimony in today's case the
girl said she had entered the store
June 16 with an older woman, whom
she refused to identify. She said she
gave the woman a $5 bill with which
to purchase a bottle of whisky, and
added she did not buy the whisky
herself.

Purchase Depends Only
On Price Agreement

Nothing but a possible price dis
agreement appeared to stand in the
way today of the Navy's purchase
of historic st. Johns College, An
napolis, after approval of the plan
was granted Saturday by both the
Senate and House Naval Affairs
Committees.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee pointed
out, however, that his committee
could still change its mind and re-
fuse permission for the Navy to go
through with the purchase if the
price appeared to be out of line.
He said he instructed the Navy
Department to report back to his
committee for approval on any
agreement reached with st. Johns
officials. He said approval Of the
Senate committee also would be nee
essary.
Meantime, a spokesman for the
Senate committee said today that
40 to As protests over the proposed
purchase of the old college to pro-

vide for Naval Academy expansion
had been received by the committee,
while smaller number of letters
were received favoring the plan.
The committee spokesman said
the majority of the letters in oppo-
sition were from graduates Of ST..
Johns, who, he said, had been
asked by college officials to protest" !"
He said that those favoring the
purchase were, for the most part,
businessmen and members of the
Annapolis Chamber of Commerce.
Payment of $3.50. 600 for the college
grounds and buildings was approved
several weeks ago by Secretary OF
the Navy Forrestal. However, COL
lege officials have stated the figure
Is entirely inadequate.
Richard F. Cleveland, secretary Of
ST. Johns board said: 1--WE are
very much disappointed that the
committees acted on such an i'm
portant issue in this way.
Negotiations between the Navy
and st. Johns officials are sched-
uled to begin next month, and
any protest to Navy acquisition OF
the old campus must now be made
to the Secretary of the Navy since
Congress has cleared the issue.
Answering request by Mrs. Nor
den Rigg, chairman of committee
of 100 Maryland women protesting
the college transfer, for a confer
ence either tomorrow or Thursday
or Friday, Senator Tydings, Demo-
crat, of Maryland wired Mrs. Rigg
that all protests now should be
directed to Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal.
Suggesting that the Maryland
group, who already have protested
to Gov. O'Conor, get in direct touch
with Secretary Forrestal, Senator
Tydings said he would help arrange
such a conference. He advised the
group to have facts" to back up
their assertions that the Navy's
policy of acquiring st. Johns is
wrong.

action among residents Of Annapolis
to the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee's approval Saturday of the
Navy Departments request to ac-
quire st. Johns College varied
widely today.
Among the committee of 100
women which last week went to Gov
O'Conor in an effort to stop Navy
acquisition of the old college, there
was a move today to force the Gov
ernor, the Board Of Public Works
and the Representatives of Mary
land in Congress to demand that
Congress investigate the plan.
The movement still was tentative
and no definite plans had been
made.
DR.. Stringfellow Barr, president
of st. Johns had no comment to
make today on the Senate Commit
tees action. He said Saturday the
committee decision was a shock
to him.
Businessmen of the town, ac-
cording to Clarence Tyler, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, gen.
orally were pleased with the de-
cision.
Mr.. Tyler emphasized that their
approval was mainly economic, and
that every one in town had the
highest regard for st. Johns Col
lege and its administration.
Mr.. Tyler said the town had
anticipated a proposed expansion of
the Naval Academy and had sew
eral prospective plans ready. Two
of them, he stated, would provide
for housing needed under an en-
larged Naval Academy. He pointed
out that the area around Annapolis,
which is not considered part of the
voting city, would be able to han
die the increased population.
The Chamber of Commerce head
said the businessmen Of the town
feel that increased business result
ing from a Naval Academy expan-
sion was of prime Importance to a
community whose major industry
is the Academy.
Mr.. Tyler explained the town
has facilities to take care of a
program of expansion for many
years. ...

ceiving stolen coupons was post
poned today until April after JUS
tice Henry A. Schweinhaut of Dis

conviction was set aside by Justice

of newly discovered evidence.

Rhine Bridge Built in 9 Hours;
Generals Estimate Was 48

The engineers standing around
the chow line at noon did not look
scared. They just looked tired.
The known record for this type
of bridge building is $50 feet in
three hours And these are under
ideal conditions. Building a short
bridge is nothing like building a
long span across the Rhine. BY
this standard it should have taken
at least 13 hours.
The bridge was built with only
one casualty, an engineer who was
wounded slightly in the shoulder.
It was finished far ahead of the
rest Of the bridges on the river,
including those being built by the
British and Canadians in a sector
farther down.
But the 202d and 17th had to hurry
because just 1000 yards upstream
the 554th and 180th Engineers were
making time with pontoons which
carried traffic in 20 hours.
