father of the current Austin
Co. president.
Austin buildings have won
the coveted Factory Magazine

has pioneered many building
feats, among them, construction
of the first controlled-cond
building Regulating air intake,
heating, lights, etc. and use of
electrically-welded steel trusses
in construction rather than
riveted trusses.
When Towmotor acquires the
Austin land it plans to consoli-
date executive and general Of
flee activities now at three
separate locations.
C. E. Smith, Towmotor presi-
dent, said that the Austin build
ings are ideally suited for
development as our company
headquarters and central Of
flee" He indicated that the only
immediate changes planned by
Towmotor will be to increase
parking and employee convent
ence facilities to accommodate
a substantially larger occupan-
cy. The Austin Company has
employed ITO people at this To-

And Then
There Were
Thirty One

The magic number is
!, now down to 81. Of the 164
original applicants for posi-
tlons on the East Cleveand
j. police force, 81 have passed
the hurdles which will al
low them to take the fifth
. stage of the police exam
ination. There are eight
openings. .
These 81 have passed the
written, medical, athletic and
the polygraph tests and now
await the oral interviews with
the three Civil Service Com
missioners and a psychologist.
Written Was wicked"
The largest number Of appli-
cants went down on the written
part of tests which saw only 81
of the 159 who took it survive.
62 of the 65 who passed the
medical took the polygraph and
the results were split right
down the middle, 81 passed and
81 failed.
The polygraph Qie detector)
is used to determine the back
grounds Of the applicants. They
are checked for such things as
work and school records, mis-
demeanors, and excessive traf-
fic violation and juvenile de-
linquency as we'll as for more
serious offenses. A combination
of even minor offenses can dis
qualify man.
"On The Couch
The oral section of the exam
is tentatively set for March
10Th before the Civil Service
Commissioners. The Commits
sioners will refer the applicants
they are most impressed with
to the psychologist for addi-
tional interviewing.

pleted final list will be made
up which will take into account
results of the written exam
(Which will weigh so per cent
Of the grade while the athletic
and oral tests together. will
make up the other so per cent.

Says Priscilla
Of Y Drive

Led by Thomas w. Priscilla,

compiled by the Y staff.
Mr.. Priscilla praised the de-
votlon and perseverance Of the

lowing statement:
"The combined East Cleve-
land YMCA-YWCA branch has
exceeded by several hundred
dollars its 1900 member-$25, 900
goal in its recently completed
Partner Membership campaign.
The exact amount will not be
known until final returns are in.
East Clevelanders will be
proud to know that ours was
the second branch in CuyahQga
County to make its goal. The
Broadway branch, a perennial
fast starter, was first.
The county wide goal Of
S377, 1000 was exceeded by about
$4,000. Certain branches, how
ever did not make their in
dividual goals.

Motoro|a Gets
Radio Business
For Police Cars

Motorola got the city
contract for IA transistor
radio units, base station
and testing equipment with
their low bid of S14,180.2O
which was $500 less than
the General Eectric bid,
The bid was accepted at
Tuesday nights Commits
sion meeting.
The transistors will be in
stalled in 13 police cars and one
motorcycle belonging to the
police department. Delivery is
expected in three months.
Give State Consent
Other action taken by the
Commission includes the pas
sage of an ordinance of consent
whereby East Cleveland agrees
to let the state (if the state
to pave Euclid ave.,
from Beersford east to Ivanhoe.
The state would bear 20 per
cent of the financial burden and
the city and county would split
the remaining 80 per cent
evenly. The estimated cost of
repaving Euclid has been set at
100000.
Regulate Parking
Another ordinance (or rather
an old ordinance passed for the
second time) calls for the regu-
lation of parking on private
property and off street public
parking. This ordinance was
once a part of the old traffic
ordinance which is being re-
pealed the First of May when
the new traffic ordinance goes
into effect. Parking, in this
circumstance, does not come
under the new ordinance. In the
past the regulating of parking
was used almost exclusively for
the Cleveland Transit System
parking lot. 1t gave the police
the power to act when cars were
parked in violation.
Approve Costs
The Commission also ap-
proved a total of S., ,632 for cost
plus for the City Hall and Fire
Station No. 1. This figure is
broken down as follows: $40 for
extra railing, $906 for extra
flooring in the fire department
and $1,606 for painting in the
police department.

From Berlin Duto
On Former Nozis

BERLIN, Jan. 13 (AP).-
Authorities have clamped ban
on information to the press
about the records of former
Nazis.
A spokesman for the United
States mission said today that
background material can no
longer be furnished from the
extension files in the United
States Document Center in
Berlin. They include almost a
complete record of the 10 mil
lion membership cards in the
Nazi party.
The State Department feels
that the information might be-
embarrassing to the West Ger
man government.
Lately there have been a
number of requests for mission
information because Of charges
that Nazis still hold important
government posts in West Ger
many and because of recent
neo-Nazi activity. No other
source in Germany is so COM
plete or authoritative.

United States tried to get the
ships back, but now Washing
ton has a flexible" attitude
toward them: Russia can either
return them or pay for them
if the price is right.
Adding the $50 million
minimum" paid by Britain,
the $33 million for the ships,
plus a smaller amount for some
so naval small craft, the Ameri-
can "rock-bottom" price comes
to about $3.50 million.
Unofficial speculation is that
the first figure the United
States chief negotiator intends
to mention is around $500 mil
lion.
1t is thus within the range
of $3.50 million to $500 million
that a settlement seems pos
sible.
According to informed
sources, the first session Mon
