Members of the county council and the board of commissioners to- | day were urged by Frank J.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (U. P.).—A waunded infantry sergeant looking up into the night sky from his hospital cot wondered why it was the last star in the handle of the Big Dipper had no name. So he gave it a name—the Stanley Roth star so a memorial would shine for ever for a 19-year-old buddy of his who sacrificed his own life to save his sergeant and his squad. The last star in the handle of the dipper had a name already. Astronomers call it Alkaid, but that will make no difference to Sgt. Roger D. Alsgaard, who wrote ~-Roth's father, Paul B. Roth, that he had named a star. for a good soldier's brave deed. Roth was killed near Cherbourg June 24. His squad was trapped. He exposed himself to the enemy fire and by ‘giving his life permitted his buddies to escape.

International Teamster President Daniel J. Tobin of Indianapolis disagreed with the war labor board today on .its ruling that beer making is an essential industry. Mr. Tobin replied to a message from WLB Chairman William H. Davis, saying that the majority of the executive board of the A. F, of L. union concluded that “making beer and hauling of it is not a wartime necessity.” “We substantially disagree with the opinion of the war labor board on this matter,” Mr. Tobin’s message said. The message was revealed by ‘union headquarters after Davis had asked Mr. Tobin to intervene in a teamster strike in St. Paul, Minn, which idled three breweries. The WLB chief said that the matter would be referred to President Roosevelt unless prompt action was taken to end the stoppage.
