London, May 2--AR-Grand Ad-
miral Karl Doenitz moved swiftly
today in his role OF successor %
Adolf Hitler to shake up the Nazi
military and diplomatic fronts in
efforts apparently directed toward
last.ditch fight in Norway.
However. 10 hours after the Ham
burg radio had announced the death
OF Hitler not a single top-ranking
Nazi party man and only one com
mander had come forth to pledge
allegiance TO DoeriitZ as FTehTer.
One OF the first acts Of Doenitz
was to dismiss Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop and re-
place him with Count Lutz Sch
werinkrosick. finance minister in
the Franz Won Papen and Won
Schleicher cabinets, which immedi-
ately preceded Hitler's rise to
power.
simultaneously, Norwegian Of

had fred Admiral Otto CiliaX, Ger

allegedly favored capitulation. and
had replaced him with Admiral

Ford Plants
on 40Hours

Detroit May 2-AP-The Ford
Meteor CompaHy's Rouge, High
land Park and Lincoln plants and
all its small village factories are
returning to the 40 hour week.
Approval TO reduce the work
week schedule from As to 40 hours
was given Tuesday night by Ed
ward l.. Cushman, state war man
power commissioner. after the
management had explained that
the adjustment would keep at work
5000 men who otherwise would
have TO be laid off. -
The work week cutback is the
first in the Detroit area involving
virtually an entire major manufac-
turing company. 1t affects approx
imately 10000 employees in the
three principal Ford units.
The company and the VINO an
nounced at the same time that the
Ford Tecumseh plant, employing
121 persons will close Saturday.
Workers in that factory will be
given referrals from the VINO to
other war plants in the Adrian dis
trict.
Announcement Of the reduction
OF hours in the main Ford plants
follows the company's action in
placing the big Willow Run Bomb
err plant on a 40 hour week last
Monday. There is still difference
of opinion between the Ford Com
pany and Cushman over whether
the reduction at Willow Run shall
be maintained. The plant has been
operating on a 45-hour week.
Cushman who has been insisting
upon retention OF the 45-hour
schedule at Willow Run explained:
THE way it looks now the
Bomber plant will close and there's
no use keeping the employees there
longer,than necessary. Other plants
in Detroit can absorb those who
are laid off"
The Army Air Forces announced
a fortnight ago that the Bomber
Plant would complete production
OF B-24 bombers not later than
August /.
The Detroit city council yester-
day adopted a resolution calling on
Senators Ferguson and Nanden-
berg and Rep. John Lesinsh to
find out II possible what use II
any is contemplated for the Willow
Run plant after completion Of the
B-24 contract.

Club Told of
Diseases

Eye sight and diseases affect
ing the eyes were the topics OF an
illustrated talk by DR.. Harold Falls,
Ann Arbor, before the Lions Club
at its regular meeting Tuesday
evening. DR.. Falls stressed the
fact that not wearing glasses when
needed would not necessarily dam
age the eyes but the wearing OF
them would improve vision and
make the wearer more comfort.
able. A far.sighted person works
harder to see without glasses than
a near-sighted person because a
near-sighted person can always
help his condition by bringing the
work closer to the eyes.
Anyone working with intense
light such as the rays from arc
welding should always wear protec-
tive goggles, he said, to prevent the
eye sight being damaged. Such
common ailments as stys and pink
eye were discussed, stys being
caused mainly by lack Of rest,
smoky or dusty working conditions
or lowered resistance. DR.. Falls
emphasized the importance of ear
~ correction OF crossed eyes to
prevent impaired vision later in
life.
Delbert Youngs asked the mem
bers OF the Club TO aid him in OBJ
tanning two canoes that are need
ed by the Roosevelt Boy Scout
troop for their trip the week end
OF May II.
Two new members, Rev. Gordon
Speer and Jack Shepherd, were
welcomed into the club by Presi-
dent Kenneth Leighton.

Patch Tells
About Crime

Jesus Christ is the only cure
for crime" said Chief of Police Dan
Patch in an address delivered TO
the Ypsilanti Ministerial Associa-
ton Tuesday afternoon. Chief
Patch said that crime can only be
adequately defined as sin in the
hearts OF men. women and chill
dren'. Law enforcement agencies
have the spanking machine OF the
prison sentence" he said, but men
come out the same as they went
in unless their souls are touched
and they come to know Christ as
their Saviour. The only cure is to
meet Christ on the Damascus high
way OF life and experience a change
OF heart"
Chief Patch spoke OF factors
which make for crime and illustrat-
ed his talk with examples drawn
from his experience as a law en-.
forcement officer. Youth" said
Chief Patch, lis at its wits end.
They flutter around the candle
flame Of experience in search OF a
thrill and are drawn into the play
grounds of the Devil" He urged
that the ministers and churches
OF Ypsilanti make every effort to
welcome into their fellowship all
strangers in the community. "Cold
indifference on the part OF church
people" he said, has tie tendency
TO turn people heart sick, sin sick
and lonesome to the ways OF the
Devil"
The address was followed by n
discussion period in which Chief
Patch answered questions put to
him by the ministers The mem
bers OF the Ministerial Association
by a resolution unanimously pass
cd expressed their appreciation OF
the contribution which Chief Patch
has made to the community In his
position as head OF the police de-

HITLER, DEAD OR ALIVE, BR

Hitler dead or Hitler alive-the
immutable fact is that he has de-
stroyed ihe Reich and changed the
face OF Europe.
Germany is beaten, but our con
Germ must be whether in her death
throes she will drag other contin-

When Hitler was preparing to
