1,200 Firemen
Combat 2 Isle
RoyaleBlazes
Change In Wind Causes
Increased Hope That Fire
Will Soon Be Controlled
MARQUETTE, Aug. 11.--(/)-Two
forest fires still burned out of control
on Isle Royale tonight, advancing
inexorably toward resort colonies at
the eastern end of the island, but
shifting winds brought hope to an
army of 1,200 firefighters.
Charles Shelvin, acting supervisor
of the national park project on the
Lake Superior island, said the situa-
tion was "more encouraging than it
has been for the past week, due prin-
cipally to the shift in the winds."
He added, however, that "control of
the fires depends mainly on a higher
humidity, continued favorable winds
and plenty of manpower." The fires
have burned over 27,000 acres, or one-
fourth of the Island's area.
CCC Join Fire Fighters
Six hundred CCC reinforcements
left Houghton today in three steam-
ers chartered by the Federal govern-
*ment, to join the 1,200 already at
the fire front.
Coast guard cutters and power surf
boats from several Michigan and
Wisconsin stations are standing by
at the island. Coast guardsmen here
said they understood the purpose was
to transfer fire fighters from the
island to the mainland, or between
points on the island. They said they
knew of no necessity for evacuating
resort residents.
Shevlin said one of the three fires,
which has burned over 7,000 acres
at the west end of Siskiwit Bay, was
under control. Two other have de-
fied all efforts to subdue them.
Await Favorable Winds
"Our navy hydroplane, which
makes several surveys daily, reported
today that the wind had veered from
the southwest to the northeast," the
acting supervisor said.
"This may give us a chance to put
1,000 men to building a fire line com-
pletely across the island, from the
south shore to McCargoe's Cove, on
the north shore.
"With favorable winds, we will start
backfiring to check the most serious
fire. That fire started south of Lake
Desor, headed east, surrounded Si-
skiwitt Lake, the largest on the
island, and is within one mile of
Lake Ritchie. Near that lake is the
moose yard.
"That fire, which already has de-
stroyed 17,000 acres, is driving the
moose to higher ground.
"A fire north of Lake Desor is head-
ing for Todd's Harbor and McCargoe's
Cove. It has destroyed 3,000 acres
of virgin timber.
Navy Radio Set Aids
The National Park Service has ap-
pealed, to the State for experienced
fire fighters, State Conservation of-
ficials have indicated that as many
men as can be spared will be sent to
the island, although the fire hazard
still is high on the mainland.
The United States Navy is estab-
lishing a short wave radio set here
to communicate with the two short
wave sets on the island. Difficulty of
communication with the island has
handicapped the fire fighting cam-
paign.
In MarquetteCountyon the main-
land, 300 WPA workers were as-
signed to duty fighting timber blazes.
A fire at Traunik, which a week ago
threatened to destroy the community,
broke out afresh today, but made
slow progress as it burned from slash-
ings into second growth timber.

The fire fighters were experiencing
difficulty checking a blaze in the
Echo Lake vicinity, but a large fire
at Watson was reported under con-
trol.

character, which I cannot reveal and
which I could not even use in open
court, which leads me to believe he
knows more about the crime than he
admits," the prosecutor stated, and
also asserted that information of
similar character had convinced him
Stachlewitz was of doubtful, if not
dangerous sanity.
Parents Were Exonerated
"I don't think this man should be
allowed to go back out into society.
If his relatives won't sign the petition
for an examination by psychiatrists,
Sheriff Andres will," he added. The
petition will be introduced in probate
court tomorrow.
The lie detector, which had been
applied to many people in connec-
tion with the boy's death, including
his parents, who submitted to the
test voluntarily to clear themselves
of suspicion, will probably not be used,
on Stachlewitz, the prosecutor said,
inasmuch as his present mental con-
dition would render the readings use-
less.
Kezinski, a Ypsilanti restaurant
worker and former butcher, was serv-
ing his sentence at the county jail
and awaiting questioning by Corp.
Frank Walker of the Ypsilanti State
Police post. His fingerprints were
sent to Lansing and Washington for
identification.
Parents Will Not Petition
John P. Kirk, Ypsilanti attorney,
has been retained for Stachlewitz by
his wife, Irma, and his sister Anne
Stachlewitz, a secretary at the Uni-
versity, who were at the county jail
to see him early this morning. After
conference with the suspect, he told
reporters that his client denied any
knowledge in connection with the
crime, and had not said anything to
incriminate himself.
Asked whether Stachlewitz's rela-
tives would sign the petition for the
sanity examination at Prosecutor
Rapp's request, Kirk said last night,
"They're not going to do it, unless
they've changed their minds, and
they're certainly going to fight hav-
ing him committed." Stachlewitz,
told by Rapp that the prosecutor
thought him dangerous, and would
seek his committment to an asylum,
was quoted as saying, "My mother
and wife can take care of me."
Shortly after the crime Ypsilanti
authorities were told Stachlewitz had
been seen carrying a boy down the
railroad tracks there on the night of
the crime, but the story was never
j substantiated.

With food becoming scarce, officials at San Sebastia'n, Loyalist stronghold in the Spanish civil war zone,
said that even water was being rationed after rebels, their guns pounding ceaselessly at the once sleepy
seaside resort, had cut off part of the water supply. These pictures, rushed to America from the city, show

Plan Acid Test For Motorized
Equipment In Theoretical War

To Move 24,000 Troops
Into New 12-Mile Front
In 7-Hour Period
ALLEGAN,'Aug. 11.-(W)-The high
command of the second army com-
pleted plans tonight for transporting
nearly 24,000 troops over unpaved
roads and temporary bridges of a
rugged terrain into a 12-mile front-
all within a space of seven hours.
The problem, which must be solved
Thursday, will be the most difficult1
thus far encountered in the theoret-
ical war that began last Saturday.
The forward movement will test
severely the practicability of motor-
ized equipment which, in many regi-
ments, is replacing the horse. The
advance will be over hills and across
the Kalamazoo River, bridged in sev-
eral places by engineer regiments.
There are few paved roads in the ad-
vance zone.
First Casulties
Eleven planes of the 107th and
108th observation squadrons, Illinois
and Michigan National Guard, were
ordered into the air late today to
determine position of the "Red"
army's mechanized forces.
Intelligence officers of the "Blue"
army defending this Western Michi-
gan area said their reports showed
four mechanized units pulling guns
along a highway north of Noblesville,
Ind., and mechanized cavalry units
proceeding northward near Shelby-
ville and Indianapolis, Ind. They
Mary Astor Case May
Be Settled Out Of Court
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.-0'P)-
Superior Judge Goodwin J. Knight
said this afternoon he talked by tele-
phone with Roland Rich Woolley, at-
torney for Mary Astor, and that
Woolley told him he believed he could
reach a settlement in the actress'
marital dispute with Dr. Franklyn
Thorpe with the judge's help.
Judge Knight said Woolley told him
he had been in conference with Jo-
seph Anderson, attorney for Dr.
Thorpe.
"We want another half hour" the
judge quoted Woolley as saying.
"We are getting together and we
think that with your help we can put
the final mark on it."

said the "Red" forces were making!
unexpectedly fast progress toward the
"war" zone.
Three soldiers, brushed by a truck
from the running board of an auto-
mobile near Saugatuck, became the
first casualties of the "war" today.
Corp. Robert Eben, 18, of Company
L, 127th infantry, suffered a skull
fracture and possible internal injur-
ies. Private Lyle Spielman, 17, of the
same company, escaped with bruises,
while Edward Lemanski, 18, of Com-
pany E. 128th infantry, suffered such
a severe fracture that amputation of
one leg may be necessary.
The soldiers had hitch-hiked a ride
with a motorist, who disappeared
after a truck sideswiped the automo-
bile, knocking the riders to the pave-I
ment. Martin Mitchell, 19, of Bridg-
man, accused of driving the truck,
demanded an examination today on
a charge of leaving the scene of an
accident. Circuit Court commissioner
set the hearing for Monday and fixed
bond at $1,200.
One more day remains for recon-
naissance before the "zero hour" ar-
rives. Reports indicated the main de-
tachment of the mechanized "Red"
troops was moving northward
through Ohio and might reach Michi-
gan sometime tomorrow. The ad-
vance guard already is at Selkirk
Lake. inEastern Allegan County.
The "zero hour" for the "'Blue"
army has been set tentatively for 7
a.m. Thursday. The orders specify
that all troops of the 32nd and 33rd
National Guard divisions must be in
position not later than 2 p.m. that
day.
Secrecy Maintained
The positions the troops will oc-
cupy in the advance zone were
shrouded in as much secrecy as if an
actual war existed. Officers ex-
plained that "Red" officers undoubt-
edly were reading the newspapers for
information of the enemy move-
ments.
Aircraft worked closely with ground
forces as reconnaissance and scouting
continued today. By tomorrow night,
the sixth corps must complete its se-
lection of roads over which the ad-
vance will be made.
Part of the forward movement must
be made over sand roads, particularly
along the right flank which rests on
the northern shore of Swan Lake.

Country's Best
Young Trotters
To MeeiToday
Three-Year-Old Horses In
Hambletonian Classic At
Goshen Race Track
GOSHEN, N. Y., Aug. 11.--UP)-
The Hambletonian, the magnet that
annually packs this little village on
the fringe of the Ramapo Mountains
with upwards of 40,000 farm and city
folk, today drew ten of the country's
leading~ three-year-old trotters for its
tenth renewal over Good Time Park's
triangular track tomorrow.
The owners and trainers of the six
colts and four fillies posted the final
declaration fee of $500 today with
the hope that tomorrow the invest-,
ment would be ieturned many fold. If
the ten trotters face starter Steve
Phillips for the first heat at 1:45 p.m.
the race will have a gross value of
close to $36,000 with nearly $20,000
going to the winner.
Heading the field are two stable-
mates, a colt and a filly, conditioned
by Ben White, veteran Lexington,
trainer. The colt is Ed Lasater from
W. N. Reynolds' Winston-Salem,tN.
C., barns. The filly is Rosalind, the
story-book trotter owned by White's
21-year-old son, Gibson.
The two favorites will not lack for
skill in driving. White has elected
to drive his son's filly, while as-
signingEd Lasater to Sep Palin of
Indianapolis, who won with Grey-
(hound.
Neither were favored by the draw
for positions for the first heat. How-
ever Ed Lasater drew the outside
lane, with the possibility he may have
to score in the second flight, while'
Rosalind was placed seventh from the
pole.
The favored pole position went to
Hollyrood Hermes, the only surprise
of the entry list. Owned and driven
by the near 70-year-old John L.
Dodge of Lexington, Hollyrood
Hermes has raced only once in his
career and in that effort failed to
show anything.
