ROWING TIGER
HAUNTS HOUSE
IN SENIOR PLAY
Tiger House. Opens Two,
Night Engagement This
Thursday

Expect to be scared, G.rilled and
amused Thursday and Friday
nights of this week when the p. c.

lyn Herrlin, Dorothy Meyer and

set the high school dance band.
While the play is a mystery,
there are enough comedy and ro-
mantle moments to please every
one. Things fall down and go
"bcom" and ladies vanish into thin
air, but the play moves toward a
climax which will completely fool
any detective who might have
strayed into the auditorium.
The heroine inherits huge
country estate on which she must
live for a year without leaving
the premises. A poor young girl,
she is thrilled with her good for
tune until she learns that the
house is haunted by her deceased
aunt and a phantom tiger which
appears at midnight in order to
regain possession of mysterious
collar of jewels which had been
stolen from it's neck many years
before.
Despite all the spooky happen
ings, the heroine pulls through
safely and retains possession of
her inheritance. You'll be surpris-
ed at the climax and will enjoy
the capable performers.

STANDARD PLANS INCREASED PR0DUCTI0|
Missing Chest Is
Found In River

The missing chest, which Elmer
Andrews confessed taking from
the John Banchich home two weeks
ago in the armed robbery case, has
been recovered from the Portage
River.
Clinton J. Riley noticed the
chest floating in the river near
his boathouse Sunday, and "fished"
it from the water. The hasp had
been broken on the chest, verifying
Andrews story that the money had
been taken from the chest.
Andrews told police the chest
had been filled with stones and
tossed in the river. Evidently the
strong current overturned the
chest, permitting it to float to the
surface.
Andrews and Nick Bilitski, ac-
cused Of planning the armed rob-
berry, are in county Jail after be-
ing bound over to the grand jury
by Mayor Carl Becker.

vandenberg Queries Royal
On Reopening Koch Case
BY the Assoeioted Press

Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, yesterday
asked Secretary of the Army Roy
all whether the case of Ilse Koch
and the Buchenwald atrocities
could be reopened.
He did so, he told Mr.. Royal in
a letter, on the basis of infor-
nation volunteered by H. A. At
kins of Detroit. A veteran Of the
Canadian Air Force who was i'm
prisoned at one time in Buchen-
wald.
Mr.. Atkins wrote both Senator
Vandenberg and Senator Fergu-
son, Republican. Of Michigan, tell
ing of his experience in the con-
centration camp and complaining
about the clemency granted Mrs
Koch.
A life sentence had been i'm
posed on her by military court
for violating the laws of war and
the standards of common decency.
But military authorities later
reduced the sentence to 4 years.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American
military governor in Germany.
said he didn't think the trial
record warranted the life sem
tence.
Senator Vandenberg did not
express any opinion on the leni-
ency question.
