The governor sanctioned the re- assignment of B. M. Davey, Liquor Commission Secretary, after the Commission said it desired to split his job in two, one part being that of a clerical secretary and the other that of a business manager.

Then he created a study committee to work with Walsh in determining whether housing problems needed any new legislation this session. By STAN WALLACE When an institution of higher learning enters into the processing of airplane parts, you may be sure that this is a war in which everybody ev- erywhere has a job to do. It was disclosed yesterday by E. C. Pardon, head of the Buildings and Grounds Department that the Uni- versity workshop has been process- ing airplane engine parts for the Wil- low Run Bomber Plant for the past ten days. Castings of carburetor intake valves used in the 'engines of ) B-24 flying boats are arriving daily at the shop to be worked on. The University has been granted a sub-contract to do this work from a local defense plant which works with the Bomber Plant at Willow Run. Upwards of 75 castings are trucked in every three days and an equal number of University - worked - on valves are shipped out. The exact size and nature of these intake valves cannot be disclosed, but it can be said that they are a light alloy casting designed to increase the gasoline intake of a B-24 bomber. Said Pardon when reviewing the work, "The only satisfaction received from doing this type of job is that every time a big bomber flys over- head, we have a feeling that maybe one of our parts is riding up there. Men of the Buildings and Grounds department are putting in as much time as they have available from their regular University duties to process these valves. To date, Pardon reports more than 100 such parts have al- ready passed through the University. shop. Chipping, polishing, and finishing operations are performed on the valves after which they are prepared. for shipment. The main reason, Pardon stated, that we are being allowed to do this work is that we had these machines available which weren't being used. "Although time is consumed in ship- ping, much more time is saved by, our doing what we can than for the- prime contractors to wait to get the vital machines." To facilitate operations, a survey was taken of all equipment in the engineering shops. One flex grinding machine was discovered which hasn't- been used in six months, Pardon said, and we took it down to the shop where it is doing its part in the war effort. This is the first announcement of the University taking part in actual war production, but a Manpower Corps announcement last week seems to indicate more work on the way in which students might participate. The Buildings and Grounds depart- ment has some machines available, and if the right Jobs are found, op, erations may be expanded. "This is the kind of thing where we all have to dig in and work," Par- don said in an interview, "and the more we work, the better things will be.", Tank and freight cars are strewn across rails of Pennsylvania Railroad's Panhandle division at Chartiers Creek, Pa., near Pittsburgh, after derailment of two trains.

Judge Payne ains Nomination For Republican Municipal Post Hear Startling Eye.-Witness Reports of the WAR in RUSSIA and the FAR EAST Justice of the Peace Jay H. Payne won the three-cornered primary race last night for the Republican nom- ination to Ann Arbor's newly created post of Municipal Judge. Judge Payne, a graduate of the Michigan. Law School, polled 1,614 votes to defeat City Attorney William M. Laird, who polled 1,152. Albert W. Hooper, present circuit court com- missioner, was third with 530 votes.

McIntire, surgeon general of the U.S. Navy, predicted today that one-third of the nation's physicians who go into the armed services will not return to civilian practice after the war. In speaking on medicine and the war at a Council of Medical Educa- tion and Hospitals, sponsored by the American Medical Association, McIntire said, "We might say that when this war is over a great number of doctors will return from the service. That is true, but not nearly as many as you might think, for certainly we will not be able to reduce the Army and Navy below a certain point, and my own opinion is that if we are able to return two-thirds of those we take we will do well." McIntire elaborated this at a press conference when he declared,"we, for our own protection, will have to send our doctors ,and our health officials into foreign areas which are the sources for many of the epidemics af- fecting the whole world."
