He turned to Younger. How Choice Was Made

“*“In this church,” he said, “are four caskets. In them lie the bodies of four nameless American soldiers. Go into the church. Put a rose on one of the caskets. That is all.” “f went into the Church and walked past the caskets,” Younger said later. “I walked around them three times. Suddenly I stopped. It was as though something had pulled me.

OVERRULE CHIEF IN APPOINTMENT

Board of Safety Upholds Naming, Fireman Day After 30th Birthday.

The safety board swept aside objections of Fire Chief H. H. Fulmer and appointed Ernest Schippel, 1209 E. Tabor st., to the fire department yesterday. Previous records showed Mr. Schippel had been appointed on Aug. 4 but that was one day after his 30th birthday and Chief Fulmer contended that technically barred him from the department under the age regulations. LeRoy Keach, board president, said the day-late appointment was the board’s mistake and members voted to make the appointment effective as of July 28 gver Chief Fulmer's protest.

Hearing Set for Quinn

The board set next Tuesday to hear charges brought against Frank M. Quinn, former fire department captain who was demoted to private last ‘week by the department trial board. "The trial beard reported it had found Quinn guilty of “being under the influence of liquor while on duty.” Quinn, who was also suspended from the department for 30 days, appealed the verdict to the safety board for rehearing.

ANOTHER FRONT

In a very real sense, the opening of a new

front against the enemy is aided every time a commercial bank like American National ny arranges another loan to a producer of war ‘goods. Such financing may make it possible to purchase needed raw materials, to bridge the time gap between delivery and payment, or perhaps to maintain payrolls. But what-

ever its sound purposes the common enemy

will feel its effects.

To the business man nwo arranges credit ~ at American National there are factors beyond the mere size of the loan. He values prowpues, He values keen understanding _ of his requirements. He values the strength

‘AXIS MARKERS’ Claims Signs on Eastern

Lands Had No Hostile

NEW ‘YORK, Aug. 12 (U. P).~ Lieut. Gen, Hugh A. Drum, in com-| mand of the eastern defense command, said today that “no hostile motive” could be inferred from ground signs pictured in a release by the first air force on Monday. He added that the responsibility for release of the photoraphs and a report implying enemy action on the East coast is under investigation. The photographs and report, released by Maj. Lynn Farnol, public relations ' officer at Mitchel field, concerned ground marks which were said to point the way for airplanes to vital war bases, including airfields and airplane factories. The war department announced in Washington yesterday that fhe report “may be untrue” and Lieut. Gen. Drum was asked to investigate. Cases Probed, Dropper

In a statement, issued today, Gen. Drum said: “On Monday, Aug. 10, 1942, there were released from Mitchel field, Long Island, New York, certain aerial photographs and a press story relative to signs or symbols on the ground assumed to indicate direction markers to vital defense plants and installations. The inference was drawn that these ground signs were guides to assist enemy airplanes and were the work of enemy agents. “The three cases included in the story released. were ‘reported in| March and June of this year. Fol-| lowing normal intelligence procedure investigations were made with the| conclusions that no hostile’ pn could be attached to any one of the! incidents in question. As a result! the cases were dropped as having no bearing on national defense.

Plan Appropriate Action

The responsibility and the reasons for the release of the photographs! and the story at this time are now under investigation and appropriate action will be taken in due time.” The public relations office at Mitchel field, which released pictures of the markers and an account of their -discovery to newspapers of Monday, said the release had the approval “in writing” of the war department’s buredli of public relations. . One of the pictures showed a country lane, 500 yards from which, in a wooded section, was a cleared area in the shape of an arrow head. The release said the arrow pointed to a vital war base. In Trenton, N. J, L. J. McNam-

agement for the New Jersey fish and game commission, said the pic-| ture may ‘have shown a “bird feed patch” near Haleyville, N. J., about which army intelligence officers approached him three months ago.

Sacks in Field

Another protograph, taken from an observation plane, showed some sacks in a field arranged in the form of a figure “9” with the tail, according to the release, pointing toward a military objective. Investigation indicated, however, that the sacks were on the Keptopeke, Va. farm of C. Russell Bull and that they had been laid out in the field to dry. The Washington Evening Star described the Mitchel field story as “The great enemy air-marker hoax” and said newspapers had been “victims of overzealous army press

agentry.”

MOTORISTS ANSWER USE TAX SUMMONSES

A long line of motorists appeared at the office of internal revenue in the federal building today in answer to ‘the summonses. they received yesterday for not properly displaying auto use tax stamps. The majority proved they had purchased the stamps but had not pasted them .to their car windshields at the time the checkup was made. Others claimed they had purchased the Siamps but lost
