Auto Ransacker Gets
Heavy' Police Sentence
When he returned to his car a
few minutes after parking it on
East Ann Street Edmond Green,
1890 Upland Drive, found it ran-
sacked and the ignition keys miss-
ing.
He immediately called polide
who, after a routine investigation,
found no clue, no finger-prints and
concluded it to be t~e work of a
professional.
Hardly had police gone into the
case further when Green notified
the police station that the culprit
had confessed his crime and had
returned his keys.
The plunderer turned out to be
a professional prankster - the
three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Kubly of 315 East Huron.
Police sentenced the delinquent to
a severe talking-to by his father.
Musi'c Camp
Corn mercial,'.
SaysPetrillo
NEW YORK, July 30.-(A')-James
C. Petrillo, president of -the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians (AFL),
declared tonight that the weekly
concerts of the Interlochen National
High School Band had been taken
off the National Broadcasting Com-
pany network at his union's request
because "the broadcast is intended
to commercialize the Interlochen
camp.",
"Radio advertisers pay the musi-
cians and all other participants a
commercial price for advertising
their commodities and the same rule
should 'apply to this school," Petrillo
said in a letter to James L. Fly, Fed-
eral. Communications Commission
chairman who last week asked the
union head to explain the broadcast
ban.
"Interlochen," he wrote, "is a com-
mercial proposition while in public
schools throughout the country the
children receive their tuition free.
The fees paid by some of the pupils
(at Interlochen) exceed $400 per sea-
son of eight weeks. This, in my opin-
ion, puts the school squarely on a
commercial basis."
State_ War Plants
Plan Camouflage
For Air Protection
EAST LANSING, July 30.-(P)--
Isolated war plants in Michigan will
undertake extensive camouflage
planting to deceive enemy airmen,
C, W. Barr, assistant professor of
landscape architecture at Michigan
State College, .predicted today.
Barr told the annual conference
of the Michigan Association of Nur-
serymen -that industrial factories
now are purchasing "more shade
trees and shrubbery than ever be-
fore-for practical, .s well as dec-
orative purposes."
He .said defense experts have
learned from England's bombing ex-
periences that building shadows play
an important role in bombing opera-
tions and that trees and shrubbery
can be used to considerable advan-
tage in absorbing shadows.
Reflection of buildings, resulting
from roof shine or window glare,
constitutes a major problem in air-
raid protection, but "after that get-
ting rid of shadows is next in im-
portance," Barr said.

To -Get Permission
LANSING, July 30-(P)-Te ex-
ecutive office revealed today that
Governor Van Wagoner has request-
ed the aid of Ernest Kanzler, c ief of
the auto branch of the War Produc-
tion'Board, to obtain government per-
mission to build 20 school buildings
to handle population increases in
Michigan war production areas.

55 school buildings or additions al-
located to Michigan in production
areas, work was underway on only

prgjects, 12 of which are in Detroit,
failed to meet standards.

dent of public instruction, that steel

every building involved.
Ickes Is Opposed
To Gas Rationing
WASHINGTON, July 30 - (P) -
Emphatic opposition to nation-wide
gasoline rationing at this time, as a
measure'designed to increase petro-
leum deliveries to the East, was voiced
today by Ptroleum Coordinator Har-
old L. Ickes.
As to whether universal gasoline
rationing " would be needed to con-
serve rubber, he said this question
was not within his jurisdiction.
He hinted that it might be neces-
sary to cut gasoline consumption fur-
ther in the East so' that available

transportation could be used to build
up fuel oil stocks against next win-
ter's needs.
As to nation-wide rationing, Ickes
declared "this won't help the East
now."

U' Buildings
To Be Checked
For Air Raids
Officials Publish Bulletin
Telling About Services
Of University Group
Anticipating possible air attacks on
Ann Arbor, University officials will
conduct a thorough inspection of all
University buildings to determine
their vulnerability to bombing and
fire while organizing of staff, student
and building protection squads.
Coordinating their plans with civ-
ilian defense councils of Washtenaw
County and Ann Arbor, the Plant
and Personnel Protection Committee
of the University has issued a bulle-
tin outlining in detail the protective
services of the various sub-commit-
tees.
"The Engineering Committee will
inspect all University buildings, and
will determine the comparative vu-
nerability of each structure in rela-
tion to glass shattering, structural
collapse, fire, and other hazards as-
sociated with air raids," the new bul-
letin states. The Engineering Com-
mittee will also select evacuation
centers to be used by persons caught
in buildings during air attacks.
Building Wardens will be selected
to protect buildings against theft,
sabotage and fire. They will be re-
sponsible for personnel protection. If
Ann Arbor is named as part of an
Army Air Raid Command District,
fire watch crews will be established
to aid the wardens. Such fire watch
crews will be composed of faculty
members, students and University
employes.
Plans have been made for estab-
lishing a 24-hour Emergency Protec-
tion Service if Ann Arbor is included
in a distirct. Such an office will act
as the University's sub-control center
during air raids and blackouts, and
will be in constant communication
with the Ann Arbor Control Center.

Cause Neighborly
Driveway Feudin'
HASTINGS, July 30.-(P)-A
feud over use of a common drive-
way between Harry Leys, 35, and
his neighbor, William Fifield,
brought Leys a $25 fine today
after he admitted before Munici-
pal Judge Adelbert Cortright
that he placed rows of nails on
the driveway, damaging Fifield's
tires.
Leys told the court that the
feud reached the boiling point
recently when Fifield had driven
through a clothesline hung
across the driveway and had
proceeded on with Le!s' week-
old baby's diapers hanging on
his car.
"I felt that I would lose face
if I did not retaliate," he said.
In addition to the fine Leys
was placed on six-months pro-
bation and ordered to pay Fifield
$10 to repair his tires.
SRA Work Holiday

ASSOCIATED PRESS
POCTURE NEWSlI.

LANSING, July 30.-(P)-Muddled-
state senatorial contests in the 24th
and 30th districts have taken the
spotlight in a 1942 primary campaign
marked by wartime lack of fight.
The 24th district campaign gained
attention because an attorney gen-
eral's opinion forced into the contest
a candidate who had announced his
withdrawal td avoid a possible con-
flict with the Hatch Act. Joseph P.
Carey, Mt. Pleasant 'em'ocrat who
is affiliated with the Central Michi-
gan College of Education, reportedly
failed to make his personal appear-
ahce before the secretary of state in
a deliberate attempt to drop out of
the race.
Only other candidate is the incum-
bent, Senator Jerry T. Logie, Repub-
lican, Bay City.
The attorney general informed the
state elections commission yesterday
that a 1941 law requiring candidatesi
to appear before the official with
whom they filed nominating peti-
tions was unconstitutional.

the finest sole fillet for special occasions
and for every day.
Considered by fish connoisseurs to be the finest sole fillet
for all occasions, the Genuine Gray Sole has become
known as a very worthy rival of the well-known English
Sole, one of the rare delicacies of Europe. It is almost
universally agreed that for flavor and texture it is
equally as good as the latter. The fish seems to be an
enlarged flounder, averaging fifteen to twenty inches
in length and three to six pounds in weight. Rolled in
