E TWO 'THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1941 r r ,A Fire Rages On Canadian Tanker a. p. blaustein' s POTPOURRI I J1 FROM ALL REPORTS it looks as though the House of Representa- tives is going to revise the draft ex- tension bill passed by the Senate Thursday. The congressmen have to -only one-third of the Senators will be up for reelection in November 1942 but already .every one of the 435 boys in the House is thinking of how sorry he'd be to leave Washington and "devote his time to his law practice." For three days now, the DNB has been shouting the news that Ger- man Panzer divisions had encircled Kiev and that capture was immi- nent. The time seems about ripe now to announce that the "Pansy Circle" isn't quite coming up to ex- pectations. Briggs To Be Honored DETROIT, Aug. 9.--R)-Owner Walter O. Briggs of the Detroit Ti- gers will receive a Boy Scout plaque Tuesday when 5,000 youngsters of the Detroit area are guests at the Cleveland game here. Briggs is to be cited for his contribution to clean sports in the community. THURSDAY Hank Greenberg hit a , homer, a double and two singles in a game between the Jackson Pri- son team and a squad from Camp Custer and yesterday was suddenly promoted to the rank of corporal with a salary of $54 a month. All of which is a definite indication that Uncle Sam has decided to really com- pete with Walter O. Briggs for the big outfielder's services. When Governor Van Wagoner designated Nov. 20 as Thanksgiv- ing day for Michigan, he did some- thing that President Roosevelt may unfortunately want to change be- tween now and turkey-time. We sincerely hope that no one decides to raise the auestion of states' rights again. BOTH DETROIT and Chicago are now busily engaged in raising dimes to help celebrate, a Tommy Bridges and a Charlie Root Day. It's nice to see such respect for old age. The Robert Quillen of the Free Press, who said: "Cartoonists al- ways picture school teachers as homely old maids. Don't you guys know any teachers?" Yes, we do, so what!' ,* * ACCORDING to yesterday's paper, the A.F. of L. has officially voiced its approval of aid to Russia. Now that they have reached this fateful decision we guess that it's all right for Frankie Delano to go ahead. Finally, we've found out who was running the country.

Hidden Town Plan Houses 100 Families BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-(A')-One 'hundred families of airplane workers will move next week into a new "hid- den village" of 300 low-rent homes sent shooting up, seven a working day, by laborers using hammers and levels. It's a village of permanent homes, renting for $30 to $35 monthly, that mushroomed under the shadow of bombers roaring off on test flights. One technique of airplane manufac- ture was used in the construction. The village was built by the Glenn L. Martin Company, through a sub- sidiary, for some of its workers. It grew so quickly, on a peninsula near Middle River behind the closely- guarded airplane factory, that few persons knew it existed until Martin announced it today. Ground was broken May 28. Two days ago the Farm Security Administration opened a trailer camp at another area to care for some of the huge influx of defense workers here. A new type of prefabrication, called encased insulation, was used for the five-room homes. 09 *4 SI W 'a I \7- A R-EX SOAP for DRY SKIN AR-EX A super-fatted soap that offsets the drying effects of I wind, sun and year 'round weather.

' " DETROIT, Aug. 9. -P)- Flamestward Bariteau, remained today in the 'A I l II still leaped high tonight from the crumpled hulk of the Canadian tank- er Transiter as Federal and local agencies pressed inquiries into the blast that ripped the vessel open last night with a cost of two lives. Nearly 24 hours aiter the explosion set ablaze the Transiter's 600,000-gal- lon cargo of gasoline, there was no official indication of sabotage as a cause of the blast. John S. Bugas, in charge of the Detroit office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, said that unless in- vestigation by FBI agents turned up evidence of sabotage, his office would drop out of the inquiry. The bodies of Roger Frechette, 24- year-old crew member who was seen to sink after leaping into the water, and of Mrs. Rodolphe Tremblay, wife * of the Transiter's captain, were re- covered by harbormaster's police to- day from the Rouge River near the scene of the explosion at the Wabash Railroad drawbridge. They drowned when they and all others aboard the tanker leaped into the water following the blast, which occurred shortly after the vessel left an oil company's dock bound, for Toronto.

Wayne County Prosecutor William E. Dowling said tonight he understood the explosion that ignited the inflam- mable cargo occurred in the tanker's No. 5 tank. Dowling directed detec- tives to question employes of the Windsor Welding Co., saying that the tanker had put in at Windsor, Ont. docks Thursday night to have the No 5 tank welded. Detroit police and fire authorities expressed belief that if the explosion were accidental, Friday's extreme heat -97 degrees-might have been a contributing factor. The fireboat John Kendall and hose companies kept heavy streams of water pouring into the blazing vessel tonight, as officers fearing further ex- plosions should bulkheads collapse, kept spectators at a safe distance. T' Standards Is Carrothers' Speech Topic Dr. George E. Carrothers, director of the Bureau of Cooperation with Educational Institutions, will present his talk "The University's Standards for Accrediting High Schools" tomor- row at 4:05 in the University High School Auditorium.

Other facul- ty members under Dr. Carrothers also work through the bureau visiting schools and otherwise cooperating with educational institutions.
