The city must pungle up $141 - to the state on old city court case In which state officers made the arrests, Police Judge Leigh . Ackerman informed the council.. The law gives .the state half of the fines in such cases. . Ackerman read correspond ence covering several months with the state treasurer's office on the fine divvy deal, showing he had resisted to his utmost but finally was licked on the legal . aide of the question. - . , . '' Payment Approved t The cases Involved dated back to 1936, The city had not divided the fine on one because it had no record of ever getting the fine, pit the others, the city had " claimed,. the " state officer was making; an arrest under, a city ordinance,, not a state law. But ' - BLENDED WHISKEY Calvert "Reserve": 8fi.8 Proof 65 Grain Neutral Spirits... Calvert "Specitl": 90 Proof 72H Grain ' Neutnl Spirits. Calvert Distillers Corporation, New York City , the state had a record to show the city did collect a fine on the 1036 case, and the attorney gen eral held that on the others the city could not claim enforcement of an ordinance superseding a state law. The council approved payment to the state. On one of the cases, City Attorney Van Vector said, a question exists, and the city may got back $25 of its payment. Mayor John Houston said he will get in touch with the Elks lodge to ask if it will accomo date a few visiting tourist cars on a new parking lot near the lodge on Main street. The Elks asked to cut the curb for the entrance to this lot. The city of ficials pointed out this will cut off some parking space now used as a courtesy zone for tourists. City Attorney Van Vactor told the council that in his opin ion, the city cannot grant a fran chise to one taxicab company to operate exclusively in the city. The question was put to Van' Vactor at a previous meet ing by Mayor Houston. Councilmen may get together with taxicab men in the near future to talk over the peren nial taxicab problem. Fire Chief Keith Ambrose will make a report soon on the city's policy with regard to sending fire equipment out of the city limits, Mayor Houston told the council in answer to a question from Councilman Wiesendanger. Asked what the city fire de partment would do in the mean time if a fire were to break out. the mayor said it would make a run to a major industrial fire the near vicinity, even though it is outside the city lim its. Chief Ambrose is looking par ticularly into the attitude of fire insurance underwriters toward the matter of removing equip ment from the formally protect ed area. The city may have a repre sentative at a state highway commission meeting August 14 to discuss work on North Ninth street, a part, of the state high way system.

Friends arte invited BRITAIN MAY STEP II TO (Continued from Page One) not deny that Japan was apply ing pressure for the granting of certain demands and that Thai land was facing a momentous de cision in her relations with Jap an, Britain and the United Slates. London reports 'have said the Japanese were demanding air bases in Thailand, within 400 miles striking distance of Brit ain's great citadel of Singapore.

Stolen Defense Tools Replaced By Rival Plants DETROIT, Aug. 6 m Tool makers in two plants crippled by thefts of precision instru ments went ahead on full de fense production schedules to day, thanks to quick help from rival companies and private cit izens. Word of the thieves' work got around rapidly, and help came fast from as far distant as Min neapolis. Heavily engaged on defense work, the Majestic Tool and Manufacturing corporation and the Central Machine company were invaded early Sunday by thieves who stole several' thou sand dollars worth of microm eters, gauges, and other ..instru ments. - A halt to production appeared Inevitable. Meanwhile, the fed eral bureau of ' investigation started' an inquiry to determine if saboteurs were responsible. Then the help started coming in to grateful managements.

Y, Aug. 8 (AP) Fifteen republican leaders, including Alt M. ian don and ex-President Herbert Hoover, joined today in an ap peal "that congress put a slop to step by step projection of the United States into undeclared war."

"Recent events raise doubts that this war is a clear-cut issue of liberty and democracy," the statement said. "It is not purely a world conflict between tyranny and freedom, the Anglo-Russian alliance has dis sipated that illusion. VITAL STATISTICS HOSFORD Born at Hillside hosDital.

Groups which have prepared to meet emergencies of a peace time nature, such as the Amcr. lean Red Cross and the Amer ican Legion, have important functions to perform in the coun ty defense program and mem bers should be assigned to those duties for which they have been trained by their own organiza tions," Owen said.
