many were subject to increased strain due to Laval's inability to meet Nazi demands for a draft of 150,000 French laborers for German war factories. So far only 25,000 have been delivered. Adolf Hitler was said to be considering tossing Laval overboard and replacing him with one of his radical pro-Nazi French supporters in Paris—possibly Jacques Doriot. Laval was said to be trying to remain in office by conferring French citizenship on 600 gestapo agents so they could “attend” to recalcitrant French workers. Hitler also was asserted to be irritated by Italy’s failure to contribute more effectively to the axis war effort. What German plans might be in this connection was a subject of speculation. It was reported that hundreds of Austrians, encouraged by the success of allied sympathizers in the nearby Balkans, were joining guer-

OFFICIALS ASK $80,000 MORE

County Council Considers Requests for Cash for

Rest of Year.

Requests for additional appropriations totaling more than $80,000 for operating expenses in county departments for the remainder of

this year were considered by the county council today.

The biggest request was made by County ‘Clerk Charles R. Ettinger who asked for $40,000 for microfilming all records in the clerk’s

office. Mr. Ettinger said the micro-film-ing project is necessary to preserve thousands of court records that otherwise might be destroyed or damaged by fire,

Ask More for Food

The procedure would be similar to the micro-filming of official papers in the recorders’ office for which the county council appropriated $35,000 last summer, County commissichers asked for $8000 extra money for food and repairs at Julietta infirmary. Of this

ALLISON ACTS ON ADVICE

Employee’s Suggestion on Illumination Increases Efficiency.

Ideas suggested by workers to speed up production in local war industries include such simple plans as shielding a light. But it was a major item at the Allison plant , . . so important that it earned Jesse G. Cummings a place on the coveted “idea man” roster. And won his allotment of war bonds offered by the local corporation for short-cuts to increased efficiency.

Suggestion a Success

In the hardness testing department this serious lighting problem was encountered by operators of the Rockwell testing machines. Individudlly devised methods of coping with the glare failed to do the job. Then Mr. Cummings dropped his suggestion in the employee box. As a result, today there is a neat and effective shield above each machine. And the foremen say efficiency in this department is at the highest peak it has been there in world war II.

As ‘Corniest’ Bid For Votes.

i By EARL RICHERT ‘A. Jack Tilson, G. O. P. candidate for county clerk, poked fun) at a campaign biography of Dewey E. Myers, the Democratic mayoral nominee, . i an address today before the Tyndall-for-mayor club. . He termed the biographical pam-

niest bid for votes this city ever

saw.” Repeats Passages .Mr. Tilson read the following passages from the biography. “May flowers were blooming the day Dewey Myers was born 45 years ago (no doubt the birds sang, too, ‘In his honor, Mr. Tilson remarked), the seventh child of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel W. Myers, pioneer Clay county tenant farmers, but the

six months later when the parents gathered together their meager belongings, their children, their highest courage and started in a covered wagon to a new life in Jasper county far to the north.” “Par to the north!” Mr. Tilson cracked, “Jasper county isn't in Alaska.” He continued reading from the pamphlet: ' “For eight days the wagon creaked through the near-wilderness.”

Tells About Trip

Mr. Tilson then interrupted his reading to comment that here the biographer was exercising restraint. “With his knowledge of geography and history,” the speaker said, “he must have been tempted to mention the towering Rockies on the west, the skulking redskins and the family’s dread that the next water-hole would be dry. That year, remember, was in 1898, and the near-wilderness was western Indiana.” He continued reading: “The infant Dewey and one sister were privileged characters. They slept in the wagon. The others slept under the wagon.” Mr. Tilson commented: “At the bed in the wagon. What is obJectionable is the habit he formed of wanting to sleep in the wagon all his life.”

Charges Inexperience The G. O. P. candidate said that the pamplet shows that Judge Myers “evidently expects to be elected mayor on the strength of three years study of commerce and finance in college.” He said he hoped “seriously” that every voter who could get a copy of the pamphlet would read it before he goes.to the polis, “It reveals that the Democratic candidate for mayor has had no experience and has demonstrated no talent: that would fit him for the office he seeks in these critical times,” he declared. “Our own candidate, Gen. Tyndall, on the other hand, has not only proved his capacity in the

manded large bodies of troops, as many as 50,000 at one time. . , . “When the May flowers were blooming in 1898 in honor of Dewey’s birth . . . Bob Tyndall was fighting malaria and mosquitos in Puerto Rico, a buck private in the Spanish-American war.”

The “ice pick burglar,” who doesn’t need his ice pick because the window. screens are removed, entered five homes over the weekend. Early today he entered the home of A. E. Gritt, 2145 Broadway, and threatened Mary Gritt, 17, with a knife after taking $2.50 from her purse. He fled when Mr. Gritt heard a noise and turned on a hallway light. He also entered the homes of Howard Brenson, 2210 Park ave.; Alfa Hents, 1924 Park ave., and William Harding, 2024 College ave., but was frightened away before he was able to take anything. Yesterday he climbed through the window at 2143 N. Delaware st. and took $2 from Joan Jordan, 13, who was taking care of sorhe children at that address. He started to choke Joan, she said, but he fled when a man who lived upstairs came on the porch. Police said he was the same intruder . who has burglarized dozens of homes in the last few months.
