half of the fines in such cases.

on the fine divvy deal, showing
he had resisted to his utmost but
finally was licked on the legal

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

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.

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.
The Japanese newspaper Ko
kumin, by contrast, asserted that
Thailand was "under merciless
pressure" by the United States
and Britain. -
With Washington-Tokyo rela
tions increasingly tense, all Jap
anese ships had left U. S.'Paci
fic coast ports today and reports
from the far east indicated that
no more vessels flying the flag
of the rising sun would be seen
in American ports for some

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.
Republican Leaders
Ask Congress to
Stop War Moves N
ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. 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."
A statement, declaring that
"naval action," and "military
occuDation of bases outside the
western hemisphere," coupled
with "promise of unauthorized
aid to Russia" has undermined
"fundamental principles of dem
ocratic government,' was made
public by Frank O. ixiwden,
former governor oi Illinois.
"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.

Fingerprint Blanks
Sent Out to County
Defense Councils
SALEM, Aug. 5 W The
state civilian defense council
sent blanks today to county de
fense councils to be used in fin
gerprinting all persons who join
the state civil reserves.
Those who apply for enlist
ment are asked whether they are
willing to be fingerprinted.
Those who answer in the nega
tive will not be accepted.
Jerrold Owen, state civilian
defense coordinator, said in a
note to all county councils to
day they could not turn over
any phase of the civilian defense
program to other organizations.
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.
But these organizations, he
said, should not be given charge
of any part of the program.
