Linton, Registrar, announced today. Pray Considers Wall Case.. (Continued from Page 1) ness for the county, Kamman called Detective Sgt. Eugene Gehringer of the City Police-Department who con- ducted the police investigation since the shooting last Nov. 19. Detective Gehringer, who was on the witness stand for more than a half hour, retold the facts of the case. The evidence that Jackie had repeatedly lied to the police, dragged the body into a neighboring yard and later burned the bloody rags used in wiping up the blood of his dead play- mate, were reaffirmed by the officer's testimony. Lie Detector Used Gehringer added that because there were people who believed that the youth's parents may have aided him in the shooting, Mr. and Mrs. Wall voluntarily submitted to a lie detector test in East Lansing, which proved that they had no knowledge of the in- cident, prior to the discovery of the body. Kamman received excellent reports from employers and fellow workers praising the character of Mr. Wall and unsolicited comments from neighbors and townspeople on the favorable behavior of Jackie. Father Acts as Counsel Jackie's father acted as the boy's counsel but failed to cross-examine Detective Gehringer or present any defense. Throughout the hearing, Mrs. Wall and Jackie sobbed quietly and Jackie did not once face the prosecutor or Judge Pray. Kamman explained that young Wall has shown none of the char- acteristics of a delinquent other than those displayed on the day of the accident. After hearing that her son would be taken from her, Mrs. Wall sobbed hysterically and embraced her son who was also overwrought with tears. Mrs. Rothstein, on the verge of col- lapse, cried out "My boy is dead, but I feel sorry for you." She repeated over and over again, "I know he did it but I feel sorry for you." Father Draft Draws Protest SAGINAW, Mich., Dec. 9.-(P)- Federal regulations were blamed for the draft deferment of inexperienced sound men in war industry when state selective service men met today and members of Saginaw Local Draft Board 3 protesting the drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. Hugo A. Braun, member of Draft Board 3, said the conference brought out that federal regulations permit an industrial employer to list as es- sential an inexperienced man the day he takes a war plant job. "It appears that there are some men who work at one job until the deferment period is about to expire and then transfer to another plant where they are placed on another supplement replacement schedule and obtain another deferment," Braun said. "Under the present sys- tem, there does not appear to be any provision for checking this." The resignations of all three mem- bers of the board, effective Jan. 1, still stood when the conference ad- journed. By KIRKE L. SIMPSON Associated Press War Analyst Week by week, atoll by atoll, Am- erican sea power is pushing its way westward in the central Pacific to- ward the hour of decisive action with Japan's main fleet. The Navy has struck staggering blows at key eastern atolls of the Marshall group within a thousand miles of the Truk citadel of the Jap- anese protective screen that guards the Pacific flank of the Philippines. Carrier-based American bombers left behind them the wreckage of a half score Nipponese surface craft sunk or damaged and nearly four score en- emy planes destroyed to add to the ever mounting campaign of attri- tion against Japan. Truk To Be Threatened Yet the Americans left behind them something more significant than even Prison Camp .. . (Continued from Page 1) ganda continually stresses the split between the Chinese Communists and the Nationalists. He said the food in the camp was very bad, that American breakfast foods, eaten without milk or sugar, were about the best thing they had to eat and that "a can of condensed milk was a treat." But this was not just in the camp. "There is a great food shortage in both unoccupied and occupied China," he said. "In Shang- hai the people are becoming more and more undernourished. They had wonderful rice crops in occupied Chi- na and where it is going is a ques- tion." He said it may be going to Ja- pan but no one knows definitely. In Japan in 1937 Rev. Sullivan was in Japan in 1937 when war broke out with China. He said the people there were not as happy about being able to give their lives for their country as is often be- lieved. "No, they aren't so different from us," he said. In discussing the post-war prob- lems of the Far East, Rev. Sullivan said, "As I see it, there will always be a China; and there will always be a Japan. Somehow we must work out a basis for getting along one with the other." He said a reeducation of Ja- pan and the setting up of a non-mil- itaristic government there would pro- bably be necessary, but that future events would help determine our re- lations with the emperor. "But," he added, "there will be a tremendous need for rehabilitation in China- material help and trained people." Swinton Interned The house where Rev. Sullivan and his family are now living belongs to Prof. Roy Swinton, who taught en- gineering mechanics here at the Uni- versity before he left to teach in the Philippine Islands. He and his fami- ly were caught there and he is now a prisoner in the Santo Thomas intern- ment cam in Manila. "In case of another exchange I am inclined to believe he will be back," Rev. Sullivan said. As for his plans for the future Rev. Sullivan said he hopes to return to Shanghai after the war. "But right now I'll take a little rest for awhile and then decide what will be best for all concerned; I certainly want to do something to help the war effort." Rev. Sullivan will speak on life in a Japanese prison camp at 7:30 Sun- day in the International Center. Bulgaria Threatens Trouble for Nazis LONDON, Dec. 9.-(')-German troops--engaged by Yugoslav, Parti- sans in a fight for the approaches to 'the destruction of Japanese war pow- er. They wrote in flame and steel plain notice that American Marines and troops soon would follow to con- vert the eastern Marshalls into a threat to Truk as well as a protec- tive outpost screen for Allied ship- ping. Neither the shock of American re- capture of the Gilberts nor the pro- jection of powerful naval task forces into the Marshall's defense zone has served to lure any part of Japan's home fleet into action. That fact alone make Tokyo home-front claims of stunning American sea and air losses appear grotesque. Japanese Public Ignorant It seems doubtful that the Japan- ese public knows enough of the facts of the war in Europe or in the Pacific to be growing restless with appre- hension. The Nipponese military caste is keeping from the people all but Tokyo versions of the conflict. There can be little radio eavesdrop- ping in Japan on American or any other war reports beamed toward it. The same thing is doubtless true in all Japanese controlled regions of the China Sea.,It must be to the ears of the native millions in those regions that the Tokyo broadcasts of propa- ganda-invented staggering victories Both Houses Pass navy Bills D 1 WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-(RP)-In a rush to authorize the Navy to spend about $5,300,000,000 for inva- sion craft, auxiliary vessels, and other ships, the Senate and House passed separate and almost identical bills for this purpose today. Members of the Naval Affairs Committees of both houses said the situation was extremely unusual but that one of the two bills would be selected and passed by 'either the Senate or House. The outlay, recommended by Navy Secretary Knox, authorizes expendi- tures for 2,500,000 tons of auxiliary vessels and 1,000,000 tons of landing and district (patrol) craft. Power Tirains Will Restore Electricity PITTSBURGH, Dec. 9.-(1)-Rov- ing power trains, described as capable of restoring electric service overnight in cities reconquered from the Axis, are being built to follow advancing Allied armies, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., announced to- night. The company said 10 mobile trains are under construction-each with a self-contained electric generating plant with all the machinery of a regular power house. Each train will consist of eight cars.

The claims must be designed to blast hopes of early and effective Allied help among anti-Japanese native elements in oc- cupied countries. Tales Not Ineffective There is no other logical explana- tion for the Tokyo tales. Nor can they yet be dismissed as ineffective. They may serve to discourage revolt. They could be effective at least until the Allied Pacific - India - Burma - China campaign has more fully de- veloped under the revised and step- ped-up attack pattern adopted at the Cairo conference. The. American advance in the Cen- tral Pacific is serving to widen the road to the Philippines. Both an- chors of the Rabaul-Truk sea gap in the Japanese island screen are being brought within close bomber range. The fall of Rabaul, already para- lyzed as an effective bastion, cannot be long delayed. Seizure of more westerly Marshall atolls would bring into play air and submarine base sites in such close proximity to Truk that its neutralization and isolation if not capture must follow in due course. The only conceivable Japanese move to avert that and collapse of a 1,500-mile-wide sector of the Pac- ific outpost screen, would be to bring her main fleet into action to halt the American and American-Aus- tralian advances from the south and the east. It is to force that decision upon Tokyo-and in utter confidence now of what the result must be- that the whole Pacific campaign was planned and is being executed by Allied strategists. INTERPRETING THE WAR NEWS: Showdown with Jap Fleet Believed Near' The man who is in charge of buy- ing Army chow, GI shoes, coats and capes and all other Army equipment for the Ann Arbor area is Capt. Ross B. Zartman, local Quartermaster. Capt. Zartman came to Ann Arbor in July, 1942, to establish a quarter- master unit in the ROTC. He in- structed classes until March, 1943, Letter Clarifies Lights Out Plan Coed Organizations Notify House Heads To make clear the decision of coed house presidents that the 11:30 p.m. lights out program will continue on a non-compulsory basis, Pan-Hellen- ic and Assembly sent a letter recent- ly to all campus house chaperones. The letter, referring to the house presidents' meeting of Dec. 1 stated: "At that time it was resolved to con- tinue the plan as originally stated- as a non-compulsory campaign. In view of this decision, the responsi- bility for the success of the program rests solely with the girls." Clarifying the future position of the househeads, the letter read: "It necessitates no enforcement on the part of the House Chaperone." Customers Asked To Buy War Bonds Ann Arbor merchants are asking their customers to buy War Bonds and Stamps before their regular items of merchandise in a city-wide at- tempt to sell more bonds and stamps this week than at any previous time except during regular War Bond drives. The chairman of the drive, Osias Zwerdling, pointed out that "Unless we get a greater share of today's loose change into War Bonds and Stamps, people will discover later on that they won't have the money to buy all the things they are going to need after victory is a reality." when he was appointed quarter- master. Prior to his coming to this town he commanded a colored Quartermas- ter's labor company for six months at Camp Lee, Va. "These men who came from the north and south were not only interesting to work with but turned out to be good soldiers as well as good workers," Capt. Zartman said. On the second anniversary of the war, Dec. 7, 1943, a five-pound baby girl was born to Mrs. Zartman, the former Mary M. Monk of Ann Arbor. "I can hardly wait for the war to be over so I can take my wife and baby back to their home at Washington, D.C.," Captain Zartman added. Was Student at De Pauw Captain Zartman took his under- graduate work at Du Pauw Univer- sity where he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He grad- uated from George Washington Uni- versity with a master of law degree and a membership in Gamma Eta Gamma, a legal fraternity. At George Washington University he was ai member -of the debating team for three years. After graduation Capt. ;artman became associated with the Potomac Electric Power Company's law cor- poration. He will resume his position there after the war. Ville ai Alcohol Sales Reported WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--()-The Treasury Department reported today that its nation-wide drive against "black markets" in alcoholic bever- ages had uncovered improper and falsified sales records by some whole- salersand a sharp increase in moon- shining. A Senate judiciary subcommittee will open an inquiry tomorrow into the current shortage of whisky. The Treasury campaign has been directed principally, officials said, to tracing ,large-liquor sales which might indicate a diversion into'black market channels. The alcohol tax unit in the Bureau of Internal Revenue said proceedings are being started to secure revocation of permits to do business in cases where regulations have been vio- lated.
