WASHINGTON, April 3-If ever a fellow got into a job he ws.sn't expecting( it's J. A. Krug, chief of the War Production Board.
 The rumor constantly floats around that WIPE now is under the thumb of the Army and Navy and that Krug isn't more than a rubber stamp. But if Krug is anybody's rubber stamp, it would be something that isn't in the book.
 In the first place, he's a good six foot-three, 240 pounds of man and doesn't play tiddley-winks when 1t comes to making decisions.
 He has been in government work quite awhile, is referred to around here as career man In Ken lucky and Wisconsin he was in pub lie utilities, and came into govern ment by way of the Federal Com munications Commission. He was sent from there to the Tennessee Valley Authority, For awhile before

REPUBLICANS IN GAINS, MICHIGAN
 STATE ELECT0NS

DETROIT, April 3-The Republi cans swept up the minor state of fees Monday in the most apathetic election in Michigan's history. They even carried Detroit for the first time since before the 1882 Roose- welt landslide.
 Preoccupation with the war, rainy weather and lack of clear-cut contests was blamed for the small vote, probably less than 100000 in the state that cast a record D. 100000 ballots in the general cleo tion last fall.

LONDON, Aprii 3-nusslan spear heads reached the Baden area, about 10 miles south of Vienna, the German Command said, while Third Ukrainian Army units are fighting in the streets of Weiner Neustadt, 25 miles south of the capital.
 Transocean reports said the Rus sians, in bold thrust from the southeast, reached the Baden area, which is about midway between Weiner Neustadt, but claimed the Germans succeeded in halting the onrushing" Red Army troops in the area immediately south of Vienna.
 New Drive Started
 The German propaganda agency also reported Marshal Malinovsky had started new drive northward from his positions near Bratislava, capital of Slovakia, probably aimed at Bruenn, second largest city in Czechoslovakia, and machine gun manufacturing center. At captured Modra, the Russians are about 70 miles southeast of Bruenn.
 Assaults Stepped Up
 German broadcasts said the Rus sians have stepped up their assault on embattled Breslau, in Silesia, with heavy artillery fire and the whole west part of the town is now aflame with battle"
 The Nazi radio predicted an early assault on Berlin from the Rus sians' middle Oder springboards, reporting lively activity was ob- served behind the main Red Army lines before Berlin. It was also revealed by the German radio that Hitler had sent his personal body guard, the iron handed Col. Gen. Sepp Dietrich, to Vienna to mob- ilize that capital against the Rus sians.

 Supplies Landed
By MORRIE LANDSBERG CAP War Correspondent

GUAM, April 3-Tenth Army in fantrymen and Marines cut stra- tegic Okinawa Island in two on Monday, reaching the east coast in a swift drive against only scat tered resistance, the Navy an- nounced.
 Admiral Chester w. Nimitz said elements of the Twenty-fourth Corps reached the east coast at a point near the village of Tobara, while advances averaging several thousand yards were made along the entire line.
 Increasing Japanese activity was reported in the rugged terrain in the center of the island-only 350 miles south of Japan itself-which was invaded Easter morning.
 Airfields Captured
 Observation planes are operating already from the two main cap tured airfields of Katena and Yon- tan. Japanese planes attacked Tank positions Sunday night, and five of them were downed, Admiral Nimitz announced.
 Nimitz said carrier aircraft, heavy guns of the fleet and field artillery are giving close support to ground operations, and unloading of SUD- plies is progressing satisfactorily.
 Front dispatches said the Ameri- cans "too easy" invasion is moving at a pace necessary to cover every square yard of ground in search of snipers, and keep adequate sup plies at the front.
 Soldiers and Marines of this new field force, commanded by It. Gen Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., have already seized two major airfields, and one frontline dispatch said a third airstrip had been secured.
 Radio Tokyo in an unconfirmed report said Tank forces Sunday landed on Kume Island, fifty two miles west of Okinawa.

were very precarious in the Pa
cific and when l met President
Roosevelt a little later told him

Opper, who related in broad
cast from Yokohama that he in
terviewed Kurusu at his home
seven hours by train out of Tok-
70, said the now gray and weary
looking envoy told him that on
Dec. Z, 1941, his appointment
with Secretary Hull was delayed
by the slow DECIDING of a long
message from Tokyo.
When he met Hull, he re-
ceived the Secretary's now-fa-
nous tongue flashing and then
returned to the Japanese EN-
bassy and learned about Pearl
Harbor from the radio, he as
serted.
Kurusu said he was confident
that the japanese ambassador to
Washington, Adm. Kichisaburo
Nomura, also was ignorant of
Pearl Harbor plans.

Beck, who was readying the

someone tried to soak him g
cents to drive on to county pro-
perty.
BEACH LICENSE
Harper learned to his astonish-
ment that the Shores Commits
sion early this year had issued
$500 beach license" to oper-
ators of the George Murray est
ate, which lies on each side of
the drain. On the strength of
this permit, the property owners
had filled in the sides of the cyl
indrical drain; installed diving
boards and ladders; fenced off
the entrance and charged 35
cents for cars and 10 cents for
foot passengers to 60 out on the
drain structure.
IF that's the kind OF money to
be made on our drain outlets"
Harper averred, "why doesn't
the Drain Commission put in
cashiers at each drain outlet.
We could put the money in the
Nine Mile Drain Fund"
Harper and Brink were faced
with the 35-cent toll on Tuesday
when they went to the property
after a Robert LAMAR. of st.
Clair Shores, had complained
about the admission charges on
what he felt was county proper
ty.
Village Commissioners adopt
ed the attitude that they had
given permits for a beach on
each side of the drain-not for
use of the drain pier itself.
However, an uglier problem
than Harper's mere 35-cent COM
plant reared it's head:
The drain official pointed out
that when heavy rain takes
place and water overflows past
the Lakeshore Interceptor down
the Nine Mile to the lake, the
sewage of a population of So
600 people finds its way to the
drain entrance-Where toll
charge is made for good clean
sport!
Village Commissioners agreed
with Harper that something
should be done. They instruct
ed their attorney to work with
the Prosecutor, Drain Commits
sioner, Road Commission and
any and all agencies to clear up
the situation.
Meanwhile, Harper owes
someone 35 cents.

added:
I'VE must reconcile ourselves
! to the fact that room for tax re-
duction at this time is limited.
A total war effort cannot be Ii
quidatci overnight"
SEEK MODERNIZATION
Mr.. Truman expressed hope
Congress would follow the tran
sitional bill with one to modern
ize the whole federal tax struc-
ture. This, he said, would en-
courage business incentives and
expansion and stimulate con-
sumner buying power.
Other provisions of the Il
point program included re-
quest for enactment of vast
public works program, endorse
ment of the so-called full en-
ployment bill' and suggestion
that Senators and Representa-
tives raise their own salaries
from the present $4,000 to $780,
900 a year. Mr.. Truman said he
would have recommendations
later for a national health pro-
gram and an expanded social
security program.
The President, who left the
reading of the message to Con-
gressional clerks, apparently be-
cause of its length, renewed his
request for continued drafting
of men l8 through 25 for two
year periods. Such inductions
are necessary, he said, to supple
ment the voluntary recruitment
program to keep occupation
forces up to safe levels.
The chief executive likewise
reiterated an appeal for legisla-
ton TO extend unemployment
compensation coverage to Fed
eral workers and others not now
covered and for federal contri-
buttons to provide temporary
maximum weekly payments up
to $25 a week for rs weeks in
every state,
Asserting that the present 40
cent an hour minimum wage
provided in the fair labor stand
ards act has become obsolete,
the President recommended that
it be substantially increased ito
a level which will eliminate SUBJ
standards of living and assure
the maintenance of the health,
efficiency and general Well-be-
ing of workers." and that it be
extended to cover workers en-
gagged in agricultural processing.
In appealing for continued
wartime powers to resist price
and wage increase pressures,
Mr.. Truman declared:
PREVENT INITIATION
THE American people are en-
titled to firm assurance not
only on the part of the admins
tration, but from the Congress
itself, that rents and the prices
of clothing, food and other es-
sentials will be held in line.
They are also entitled to buy
washing machines, vacuum
automobiles and other
products at prices based on our
traditional system of high out
put and low unit costs"

while today ST. Peters numbers
more than 800 families, nearly
400 baptized members, and her
communicates are rapidly ap-
preaching the 1000 mark.
The original members were
immigrants primarily from b.
varia, Mecklenburg- Schwerin
and Saxony in Germany. So il
was quite natural that the Ger
man language was used exclu-
sively in church for some time.
Today it has almost disappeared
in church, while in our school

many years.
