RANKIN WANTS COUNSEL
 SWITCH

Now that Mississippi's rootin- tootin' Congressman John Rankin has $75,000 to spend for his Un- American Activities Committee, he is anxious to ditch Committee Counsel Ernie AdamSon. Adamson is the gentleman who aroused pub- lie attention when he went on re- cord as against democracy.
 I'm moving Heaven, Hell and high water Congressman Rankin told a friend the other day, ito get Bob Stripling out of the Army I need him. Adamson has put us ill jam. Stripling is more discreet and his mouth isn't as big as Ad- amson's."
 Robert Stripling, the man Ran kin wants to get out of the Army, for long time was Counsel to the Dies Committee, and has the unique reputation of being one of the most deferred gentlemen ever to work on Capitol Hill.
 For a long time the Dies Com mittee got Stripling deferred as an essential worker. Finally, in August le44, his Virginia draft board de- cided he wasn't so essential after all, and put him in IA. However, three times Congressmen inter vened to prevent his induction. But finally the Army caught him. He got in shortly before the end of the war with Germany, and now Congressman Rankin is pulling all sorts of wires to get him out.

The site will be capacious Rec

thousands to Ypsilanti to spend

so that wholesome entertainment
will be available.
There will be special entertain

Adults will also be entertained but
the whole program will be pointed
toward fitting tribute to those who
sacrificed on the fields of battle
so that votes like Mondays and
celebrations like that OF the Fourth

The annual parade which has
made Ypsilanti famous in otheT
years will be bigger this year, Lee

for pageant are already under

will be family night and appro-

remaining hazard.
Discrimination Urged
Commander Joseph McCulloch Of
Post 2S2. American Legion, remind.
ed city officials that "in our opin-
ion, Ypsilanti did not intend to
throw our city open to any and all
carnivals. We believe the people
will want their council to see that
on all such occasions certain strict
standards as to the amusements
offered are maintained. We prom.
ise to follow strictly such regula-
tions."
I'VE lo6k forward with great
hope to a splendid recognition OF
this great anniversary and a happy
welcome home celebration" he
