LANSING, Dec. 17.--GP)- Circuit
Judge Leland W. Carr moved today
to insure close control of funds allot-
ted to him for the conduct of a one-
man grand jury investigation of leg-
islators and lobbyists.
Carr appointed George C. Madan,
Lansing certified public accountant,
as special accountant and auditor
for the special grand jury fund cre-
ated by the "little legislature."
The fund was turned over to Judge
Carr this week by Attorney General
Herbert J. Rushton, when the latter
withdrew from direct activity in the
investigation.
Carr's notice of the appointment.
filed with the Ingham County clerk,
empowered Madan to draw and sign
checks on the special fund for grand
jury expenses. Carr was out of the
city and not available for comment.
As an outgrowth of the investiga-
tion, recommendations for statutory
regulation of the activities of lobby-
ists were presented to Governor Kelly
and as an organization of lobbyists
suggested the entire matter be de-
layed until the grand jury investiga-
tion has reached more definite con-
clusions.
State Treasurer D. Hale Brake,
appointed by -Kelly to study lobbying
control measures, proposed a four-
point program to Kelly and suggest-
ed the governor not decide whether
to submit the proposals to a special
session of the legislature until the
grand jury had pursued its course
further.

come into their own during the holi- f
day rush.V
With a 30 per cent increase in theo
mail over last year, Oswald Cook,
postmaster, reported that 25 tem-
porary employees have been addedc
to the postal payroll during the1
Christmas season. He added thats
the mail, in general, has been 30t
per cent heavier than last year. t
"People have been cooperatingr
quite well. The rush came about a
week early this year and there should
be no last minute run on the post
office," said Mr. Cook. "However,
we request that all Christmas mail-
ing be completedby late this after-
noon. There is a terrific strain on
the railroads this year and this is
one way we can do our part."
In order to assist the public in
mailing Christmas packages and
cards today, the Maynard street pos-
tal station will remain open until
6 p.m., instead of closing at noon.1
Hours have also been extended at
the main branch. The postal win-1
Coeds Spend
1 ,300 Hours onC
Bandage Unit
Approximately 1,300 hours have
been spent by the volunteers at the
Surgical Dressing Unit during this
semester.
Although the total seems impres-
sive, Jean Whittimore, unit chair-
man, stated that the number of hours
is below the minimum recommended
r for such a large campus. "However,
we are expecting a much greater res-
ponse after the holidays," Miss Whit-
timore added. "The freshmen women
will be more adapted to campus life,
and will be able to plan their time
more effectively to fit in with war
work, while the upperclassmen will
probably be more sure of their hours."
"The casualty list which was re-
cently published should be a stark
revelation to the coeds of the need
for surgical dressings," Miss Whitti-
more continued.
For the next two weeks the League
Unit will be closed. All volunteers
staying in Ann Arbor will be welcome

in the Rackham building from 1 p.m.
to 4 p.m. Wednesday and Friday, and

of 5 p.m.
There will be delivery of parcel
post all day Sunday and also one
delivery of carrier mail. Those de-
liveries will include all mail received
at the post office up to and including
tonight. Post office officials request
that someone always be home to re-
ceive packages so that there will be
no unnecessary trips by the carriers.
