THURSDAY, AUG. 14, 1936 THE MICHIGAN DAILY t Erect 'War' Communication Lines NEWS Of The DAY l (From The Associated Press) Detroit-Bob-Lo Swim Attempt Fails DETROIT, Aug. 12.-(/P)-The attempt of Sergt. Frank C. Gas- dorf to float and swin 22 miles down the Detroit River to Bob-Lo Island ended three miles short of the goal today when the 347- pourd "one-man navy" of the po- lice department was seized by a cramp. Colleagues in the convoy boat were too winded after hoisting Gasdorf aboard to comment, but they implied that the floating sergeant's sense of showmanship may have been his undoing. Gasdorg, clad in a coat of leaf lard, drifted easily with the cur- rent from 7:30 a.m. until mid- afternoon, when he neared Grosse He. Many of the residents were observed to be following his prog- ress with binoculars, and Gasdorf shifted from floating speed into a spirited dog paddle. "Don't go showing off and tir- ing yourself out," warned Patrol- man Gerald Beckhousen, member of the rowboat crew whose duty it was to feed Gasdorf his cubes of sugar and quarters of orange. "I could keep this up forever," said Gasdorf. Almost within sight of Bob-Lo Island the long-distance dunk ended abruptly as the one-man navy suddenly began to list to port, the muscles of his leg knot- ted by the cramp. He finished the trip in the boat. Owens And Cunningham Star In Track Meet BOCHUM, Germany, Aug. 12. -(P)-Jesse Owens, star of the United States Olympic track team, tonight equalled the world 100-meter dash record of 10.3 but disappointed 8,000 spectators by broadjumping only 7.02 meters (23 feet 3/8 inch) and losing to Wilhelm Liechum of Germany, who jumped 7:25 meters (23 feet 9 7/16 inches) in an international track meet. Flashing Olympic speed despite his third straight night of barn- storming, Jesse outraced two Ger- mans, Gerd Hornsberger and Erich Borghmeyer by two and three yards in the 100. Bunta Suzuki of Japan was fourth. Glenn Cunningham of Law- rence, Kans., runner-up in the Olympic mile, won the 1,500 me- ters in 4:00.2.. He was a stride ahead of Friedrich Schaumburg of Germany.

Roth writes me as follows: "I am enclosing a cover from the lat- est catalog of the Central-Camera Co., on which they notify their customers of new conditions. This statement contradicts the one you made on Aug. 11. Who's wrong?" The answer; Nobody is wrong. My statement was to the effect that the import duties on German cameras are again at the old rate of 20 per cent. The catalog page says that this new act will nec- esitate an. immediate price increase. The conflict is due to the fact that my statement appeared in a newspaper, within a few hours after I had written it; while the catalog bears the date July 20. The 45 pei cent tariff that I referred to Was in effect about one month. The Central catalog did not say that the tax would stay in effect forever, nor did anyone else. And this brings up a matter that I would like to discuss with you. I firmly believe that every Ameri- can citizen should do all in his power to support home industry. And I am not at all inclined to approve of the policies of the present German government. But until American manufacturers wake up and start to build equipment that is equal to some imported equipment all expert pho- tographers will have to buy imported goods. Unless you wish to let your pa- triotic feelings prevent you from working with the finest equipment you can find no other way. I do not say that equipment has to be bet- ter simply because it is German, like- wise I do not wish to imply that all American equipment is inferior. But there are certain types of equipment made in Germany that are far super- ior, and the American manufacturers seem content to sit back and offer no substitute at all, or very poor ones. In business only the fittest survive, so those of us who depend on photo- graphy for a living must insist on the best cameras and lenses.jThe point that I am driving at is just this: A protective tariff is a good thing when Syou have something to protect, but in the case of cameras we have noth- ing that can be considered as com- petition to the imported equipment, so the import duty is simply a burden on the shoulders of the photographer. I am not a politician and I am not trying to abolish the import duty. I am only trying to put over the idea, that expert photographers the world over recognize the German camera as betterand as an American citizen I am complaining, because we Ameri- cans have to admit defeat. Bridges, Owen Star As Tigers Defeat Indians Tiger Pitching Ace Wins 15th Start As Infielder Collects Three Hits (Continued from Pace 1) Bridges' single brought him in with the Tigers' fourth run. The first ball Bridges pitched in the Cleveland seventh went sailing over the right field wall for Trosky's hom- er. Tommy then walked Weatherly, but got out of trouble as Sullivan's grounder struck Weatherly in the side, putting him out, and Vosmik flied out and Knickerbocker grounded out. Goslin's single, a walk to Simmons, and Owen's double brought in two Tiger runs in the eighth after two were out, and finished Hudlin's work for the day. The Indians' futile rally in the last of the ninth started with Trosky's single to right field. He went to third on Weatherly's double to left, and both scored when Sullivan's double bounced high off the right field screen. Walker caught Vosmik's long fly, and then Bridges settled down to force Knickerbocker to foul out, and pinchhitter Uhle to pop to Gehringer.
