DETROIT'S DREAMS

"DetrOits dreams are getting
better all the time" Brown
said. 'but there's the matter OF
money that threatens to keep
the dreams from coming true.
The limitations to financing
public improvements now faced
by Detroit emphasize the need
for developing new methods OF
financing IL the construction OF
these projects ia to be relied
upon az an important employ
ment medium during any criti-
cal phase of unemployment In
the postwar period"
Brown also reported that the
section of the state which had
planned least for postwar public
works was the Upper Peninsula
where one of every four persons
was on relief in 1884 and 1885 and
where the depression that may
follow World War II is expected
10 be even more serious.

Detroit Wins,

Roars Back Behind Paul
Trout's Brilliant Five
Hit Pitching
BY GAYLE TALBOT

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-B-Detroit's

back again today behind the bril-
liant five-hit pitching of Paul
''Dizzy' TROUT to wallop the Chi
cago Cubs 4 to /, before 1928 fans
at Wrigley Field and square the
World Series at two victories
apiece.
In on big inning, the fourth, the
Bengals broke their appalling bat

Prim from the mound and score
all their runs and four hits and
pair of walks. With that to work
on Trout was never threatened,
and the only run scored off his
scorching fast ball and curves was

Up to the time of their dramatic
outbreak the Tigers had suffered
hitless through 10 % innings and
had not scored a run in Is frames
of series play. For three inings in
today's gloomy, drilling weather
it had even looked like Prim might
equal Claude Passeau's one-hit
classic of yesterday and all but
crush out Detroit's last hope OF
the championship. s~. -...

Laval Refuses
To Return But
Trial Goes On
Charges Judicial Crime
Denying Him Right To
Present. Defense

PARIS, Oct. 6-UH-After riotous
session in which judge, prosecutor,
defendant, attorneys and even the
jurors screamed in anger, Pierre
Laval today walked out of-his own
treason trial, saying it was a 'ju-
dicial crime" which was denying
him the right to present a defense.
The Infatuated former Vichy pre-
mfer, who had been cursed by the
jurors and elected for second
time, refused to return to the
courtroom and Court President
Pierre Mongibeaux ordered the
trial continued without either he or
his attorneys present.
With the defense refusing to par
ticipate, it appeared that the trial
would be concluded in a few days
and seemed certain that the hos
tile jury would send before a fir
ing squad the crafty politician
charged of selling out his country
to the Germans and helping them
in their war for world dominance.
Back Client
Laval had Unanswered himself
into an excellent moral position,
however, for his attorneys, one the
president of the French Bar AS
ISOLATION and both members of the
patriotic resistance, backed their
clients accusation that he had not
been given sufficient time to pre-
pare his case and that the court
lacked real judicial stature"
Drawn and haggard,. Laval ig-
nored Mongibeaux's opening cues
ton as to why he had stayed in
the Vichy government of Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain if the aged
Marshal had been all-powerful as
Laval had claimed in long TRADE
yesterday. Instead of answering,
Laval began reading a letter pro-
testing that his preliminary ques-
tioning had not been adequate.
Prosecutor Andre Mornet de-
manded that he answer the ques-
ton. Laval shouted it was unfair.

FIRE PREVENTION
TALKS SCHEDULED
Chief Groom Issues State
ment; Jaycees To Aid
AT Schools, Clubs

Observance Of Fire Prevention
Week in Wilmington will begin to-
morrow, with representatives OF the
Junior Chamber of Commerce and
Fire department appearing before
the student bodies of all New Han
over schools to impress upon stu
dents the importance of fire pre-
vention.
Chief J. L. Groom yesterday sup
ervised placement of posters
throughout the city, and prepared
a fire prevention message to be
read to all local civic clubs at their
regular meetings this week.
The message, in part, is as fol-
lows:
'"This week has been set aside by
proclamation of President Truman
as Fire Prevention week. The OBJ
ject of this proclaimed week is to
place before you the facts as caus.
ed by the terrific toll fire takes in
this great country of ours-28 lives
every day, and hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of property de-
stroyed. - H.
ut would seem that each individ-
ual would take heed of the facts
and try to eliminate the cause. If
your business were losing money,
ycl would locate the cause and eli
inmate it, wouldn't you? Twenty
eight lives lost every day and hum
dreds of millions of dollars worth
of property destroyed every year
in this country is your business,

GOVERNMENT DOES
NOT PRESS issue
Telephone Workers Intend
To File Strike Vote No. -.
tice Within Is Days

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. -
(AP) - John L. Lewis turned
down a request of bituminous
coal operators today to end the
soft coal strike, but the gov
eminent did not press the is
sue.
The operators made their
plea at a conference with
Secretary of Labor Lewis B.
Schwellenbach, who told re-
porters he did not himself ask
the United Mines Workers
president to end the strike.
About $4,000 are idle in more
than 600 mines in a controversy
which sprang up over recognition
of LeWis's supervisory union.
Schwellenbach indicated that he
was Withholding his own plea
to end the strikes, until next week
in case the conferences which ne
called with the operators and min
ers fail to produce a solution.
Disclaims Responsibility
Lewis disclaimed responsibility
for the stoppages, saying they
were begun by the local unions of
his Unitel Clerical, Thechnical and
Supervisory employees, in a battle
for recognition by the operators.
The producers insisted that
Lewis had inspired the strikes and
could end them.
The conference will continue
Monday at 10 a. m.
After today's sessions, Schwell-
enbach said that lit was a good
first day but I don't know that 1
could report progress" He said
he was unable to see that either
side had changed its position.
The operators have been in
sisting that the miners return to
work before they will discuss the
merits of the foremen dispute. In
the meantime, the National Re-
lations Labor Board is speeding
a decision in the first case in
volving the Lewis supervisory
union at the Jones and Laugh.
lin Steel company mines.
The labor secretary said he told
both sides that it was necessary
that the strike end because of the
threat to coal supplies.
Asserting that he had been re-
luctant to recommend seizure of
the strike bound oil facilities this
week when his counciliation eff
forts to end strike of CLIO oil
workers failed, SchWellenbach
said he would be "just as reluc-
tant'' to seize the coal mines.
Plans Test Case
Schwellenbach disclosed that he
means to make a test case within
the next week Of some requests
for wage increase which would
involve increasing prices. A case
will be started through the War
Labor Board and sent to the Office
of Economic Sterilization for q
decision.
NC1LllcI Lewis IlOT LIlC SOU coal
operators would give an inch in
their preliminary talks with
Schwellenbach.
The operators insisted they
would remain "adamant" against
permitting their supervisory EN-.
ployes to become members Of
Lewis United Mine Workers.
The shaggy-haired m iner
leader was just as firm in his pc.
sition that the operators must sit
down and discuss the problem.
The producers want the 10000
striking soft coal diggers to re.
turn to work before they will dis
cuss with Lewis the merits OF the
dispute. The orators twice turn.
ed down invitations from the UNIV
president, insisting that he get
the workers back on the job first.
