IT'S NOT A LACK of patriot-
ism which keeps Old Glory from
flapping in the breeze as it used
to do; rather, it's a lack of flag-

In other plainer words: Per-

again sliced the rope on the
Mall's flagpole by which the
Stars and Stripes was hoisted
up.

Coercion of
Jailed Man
Confessed
Sheriff John Osborn last week
admitted in Circuit Court that he
had encouraged a man to use vio-
lence on a prisoner to obtain in-
formation.
This admission came during the
retrial of Leo Maloney on a charge
of assault with intent to rob. The
charge concerned the shooting and
robbing eight years ago of William
Tompkins of Chelsea,
' * * *
SHERIFF Osborn testified that
the incident occurred in the county
jail in 1942. He and the victim's
brother, Eugene Tompkins, were
questioning Maloney to find out
where he had left the victim's
car after the crime.
Maloney refused to answer
questions so Osborn handed Eu-
gene Tompkins a heavy plank
and advised him to use it on the
prisoner to make him talk, ac-
cording to the testimony. The
sheriff later stated that this had
only been a bluff.
Maloney confessed to the crime
a few hours after this occurred.
* * *
CIRCUIT JUDGE James R.
Breakey, Jr., ordered the confes-
sion to be excluded from the re-
trial because it appeared to have
been mnade under pressure.
Maloney has served more than
seven years of the original 40 to
50-year sentence.
To Sew Up
'Lace It Up'
"Lace It Up" needs some women
to sew it up.
"Lace It Up," of course, is the
name of ,the 1950 Union Opera.
And the opera staff needs women
to sew costumes for the produc-
tion, which opens Mar. 29 at the
Michigan Theatre.
"This' sewing job should pro-
vide excellent experience for
those women students who are
thinking of getting married
some day," opera staffman Jim
Johns explained.
A professional designer will su-
pervise the seamstresses as they
go into action on the costumes.
Johns asked all interested wo-
men to report at 4:15 p.m. tomor-
row in Rm. 3G, at the Union.

less was known. In fac4t, a
spokesman for the Polic Depart-
ment declared that there had
been no report at all of the in-
cident to them.

what's happened, the men of the
Plant Department do have 'a

one official explained.
Previous sorties against the
ropes had resulted m the hook
which secured them at the bot-
tom of the pole, being moved a
good distance up from the
ground.
In addition, following a similar
episode last spring, rope with a
copper core was bought to replace
the cotton strands formerly used.

PLANT OFFICIALS have no
idea when the flagpole will be put
back in tip-top shape. Walter
Roth, superintendent of plant, ex-
plained that reinstalling the rope
will have to be done by a Toledo
steeplejack.
But this specialist can't do the
work in the cold weather that
we've been enduring.
However, when the steeplejack
does feel that conditions are right,
the most basic ingredient for a
successful flagpole rope raising is
at hand.
