SURPRISE AIR RAID
TAKES CITY UNAWARES

The mysterious tire alarms
which were sounded at p. m. and
again at 8:15 p. m. Saturday, had
no connection with actual fires,
but were surprise air raid alerts.
There had been no advance in
formation about the test alert,
because civil defense authorities
wanted to check effectiveness of
organized response.
The alarm was on one minute
and off for two, designating the
signal as an air raid call rather
than a summons for firemen. 1t
was rated only partially success
full due to misunderstanding on
the part of civil defense committee
members living in the outlying
areas who could not clearly dis
Germ the signal pattern, it was re
ported.

Young Lady's Plea
Turns Editors Heart
NEWS Gets Results

When an editor has been work
ing long hours, fighting with the
news headlines, squelching the
"give-me" artists and wishing the
copy would come over the desk a
little faster, there's little that can
soften his heart. But when seven
year old lady comes wistfully to
the desk and whispers her sorrow,
that's when the hard tap switches
automatically to soft.
Such was the plea of Mary Kay
Kolhoff, newly seven years old
who lost her birthday gift, and the
huge sum Ito seven year old
mindD of $2.77 on Monday. The
gift was an elephant pin and q
matching necklace. The money
was divided. Two dollars were in
a white box. Seventy-seven cents
were in a red billfold with Mary's
name on it. The treasure was lost
somewhere on Madison Street or
Monday between Pittman's and the
Kolhoff hoome on South Madison

the News broadcast Tuesday a

ALTERNATE FREE
PARKING PLAN
is SUGGESTED

An alternate public parking plan
is now being studied by the Board
of Public Utilities, Carl Heckler,
chairman, announced this week
He said widening of jefferson
street from second to the New
York Central viaduct, is deemed
more feasible than the lot at the
rear of the Clinton theatre, as
originally suggested.
Widening of the street would
provide angle parking for scores
of cars, which would not be me-
tered. He added, that between the
two sites, there would be no other
choice in the city, because we
have no other place to go for free
parking, since additional meters
ere planned for north Madison
and Jefferson street between Per
ry and Second"
City Council authorized the
board to install traffic light al
Fulton and Third streets, and al
so to paint Walk-way stripes al
each crossing of the intersection
Side lights now at Second ane
Madison streets will be removed
and center traffic lights installed
The old lights will be placed or

Attorney General, And Ohio Aviation
Board Decline To Intervene In Gity's
Airport Controversy Over Contract

Neither the Ohio Aviation
Board nor the Attorney-General's
office has any legal or official in
terest in the city's airport con-
troversy with Milton Hersber-
ger, the NEWS was told this week
by a spokesman for the Attor-
ney-General's office.
1t was revealed that the first
assistant attorney general had ac-
companied the director of the
Ohio Aviation Board to Sandusky
for a conference with three city
officials about 10 days ago.
Both the state board and the
city official were told by the At
torney Generals office at that
time that the state has no juris
diction o-er what appears to be
strictly a local issue.
Rumors that the aviation board
might attempt to hire private le
gal counsel we're discounted BY
official sources, because it would
still be necessary to secure the
approval of the Attorney Genera
who has stated that Ohio has nc
official interest in the local case
'The problem is strictly
matter to be worked out between
the city and Milton Hershber
GER" an official spokesman told
the NEWS, "and the state of Ohio
has no intention of meddling ir
what obviously is a local mat
ter"
