In Lansing Dr. Jay W. Sexton, surerintendent of schools, sent a special bulletin to all schools Monday morning urging their full cooperation in the movement to pro duce much needed scrap to keep the nation's steel furnaces going all winter at capacity. Rural Drive Under Way Ingham county's rural schools had the jump on most of the state as scrap piles increased in size on the various school yards where children started collecting cast-off metal nearly two weeks ago. Fred Searl, county school commissioner, was 6ne of the first school officials to get behind the program when he received a special pamphlet from Washington a few weeks ago.

He has personally started the scrap campaign with pep talks to the children at many rural schools. In many cases the money received from scrap piled in the school yards is to be used for the purchase of athletic equipment for the schools, while in others the children are to be paid for the scrap they bring in. One Lansing junk dealer nas oi-fered to deposit cash in advance with any school so the youngsters can be paid for the metal as they bring it to the school yard. The state department of educa tion estimated that if every child in Michigan schools brought one scrapped metal pail to school it would supply enough material to furnish bayonets for an army of 000.000 soldiers. Pamphlets describing the cam paign have been placed in the hands of 35.000 Michigan teachers, who will pass on complete details to their pupils.

Many Lansing families went without coffee over the week-end because they found stocks depleted in practically all stores on Friday and Saturday. The grocers blame hoarding for the acute situation. They have tried to put a halt to the buying of coffee and other scarce merchandise by persons who have gone from store to store to buy only the things they fear they have to get along without. One wholesaler said, "patriotic citizens today must go without because others are hoarding." He said the government must ration all food which is hard to obtain.

There will be no easing of the coffee situation until the product is rationed, most grocers agreed. SHAFTSBURG MAN FINED $50 ON SPEEDING COUNT Phillip C. Darbor. 31. of Shafts- burg, pleaded guiity in municipal court here Monday morning to a charge of speeding 60 miles per hour in the city, and was fined, $50 by Judge Louis E.

Coash. Darbor was arrested here last Friday. NT LAID TO HOARDING GALVESTON. Oct. 5 (P) Texas' oldest fire engine, a huge horse-drawn monster of steel, shining brass and nickel, may soon find its end in the scrap piles.

George H. Gymer, police and fire commissioner, said the plan will have to be approved by the city commission, but he expects the approval. "To old-time firemen the suggestion that it be scrapped smacked of sacrilege," Gymer said, "but because we are engaged in an all-out struggle and because Uncle Sam is appealing for every pound of metal we can turn over "to him, I feel the sacrifice is justified. More than '50 years old, the engine was retired from active service 30 years ago. PORTLAND, Ore.

Oct. 5 (IP) Fred W. Angell, World war veteran, contributed to the scrap metal drive: bronze placques of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Emperor Franz Joseph and Generals Von Hindenburg and Von Mac-kensen; a large iron German cross; a German anti-tank bullet and Ger man soldiers belt buckles souve nirs collected while overseas in 1918 Staggering Taxation to Force Change in American Way Of Life for Duration. By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (IP) Back- straining taxation that will force a downward revision in the standard of living soon was forecast by Senator George (D) of Georgia today as the senate prepared to receive a new revenue bill calculated to ex tract more than $26,000,000,000 yearly from citizens.

George, as chairman of the finance committee, was charged with reporting to the senate a measure containing rates he said were approaching the maximum that could be assessed against individuals and corporations without hampering war production. At the same time, he told reporters that taxation to enforce loans to the government to aid in financing the war must be enacted by congress in the near future, adding: "Every 1 percent addition that is made to these proposed tax rates for compulsory savings or loans to the government is going to push the standard of living down that much. It cant be escaped. Our living standards will have to change when we go beyond the rates in this bill. Departing from treasury figures, George estimated that the pending measure would add $9,672,000,000 to the $17,000,000,000 annually taken from taxpayers under present laws.

Of this amount, he said $1,772,000,000 would be collected and later rebated to taxpayers after the war, leaving $7,900,000,000 in direct new taxes. As approved by the committee, the bill would provide for an agg-gregate rate of 24 percent on the taxable income of individuals in the lowest brackets, graduated upward to the point where an 82 percent surtax would be assessed against those with larger incomes. Some corporations would pay up to 90 percent of their net taxable income. "I think the rates in this bill, both on individual and corporation income, run very close to the maximum direct tax burden that the country can bear," George said. "The overall burden approaches the max imum the taxpayers can pay and maintain full production." "I wouldn't want It understood some taxpayers cannot bear more, but the average is extremely high, he continued.

"I don't think, how ever, that w-e will seriously affect the standard of living with this bill but that is coming soon. Some form of compulsory savings must be instituted and the standard of living necessarily is going to be affected when that is done." George said he thought there was a great deal of difference in' extract- See LIVING Page .2 boyTkilled BY GtN BENTON HARBOR, Oct. 5 (JP) Lloyd Graham, 14, son -of Mr. and Mrs. Lindell Graham, Euclid Center, was fatally wounded Sunday when a loaded shotgun being removed from a wall rack by his friend.

DIP IN LIVING STANDARD SEEN CHARLES RUFFING JOHNNY BEAZLEY JAPS RETREAT Australians Find Little Opposition; Allies Bomb Key Posts A MacARTHUR'S Australia, Oct. 5 OP) In the seventh- day of consistent, unopposed advance, Australian troops pushed upward yesterday over a rugged trail north of Efogi in New Guinea's Owen Stanley mountains. Flyers of the Allied air forces at the same time swept far beyond the advanced ground forces to harass key points on the Japanese line of retreat.

In another sector Catalina (Consolidated) bombers made a night raid on the airdrome at Buka, on the extreme northern tip of the Solomons, starting fires near the runway and in dispersal areas and destroying at least one plane. Efogi, 64 miles by jungle trail from the Allied base at Port Moresby and about seven miles from "the gap" in the Owen Stanley' range, was. captured Saturday. The Australians were believed to be either in or near the south entrance of "the gap" which lies at an altitude of more than 6,000 feet. A spokesman for General MacAr-thur said the Australian forward units had made only slight contact with the enemy, too light to indi cate even rearguard action.

Then" exact position was not given. North of Efogi there are two trails, one leading three miles to Kagi and the other six miles to Myola lakes. Australian Army Minister Francis Forde, returning to Canberra to re port to Prime Minister Curtin and the war cabinet on a tour of battle areas in New Guinea, expressed ab solute confidence on the outcome there. "I observed a very definite spirit of aggression in our troops," he said. GERMAN SOLDIERS HELD LONDON, Oct.

IN NEW GUINEA JAPS AGAINST Says Bluntly Russia Is Not Satisfied with Allied Aid Given Thus Far STALINGRAD STILL HOLDS By CLYDE A. FARNSWORTH (Associated Press War Editor) As if obliquely warning Japan against any back-stab to' facilitate German victory, Joseph Stalin has proclaimed Russia's power to resist the ellorts of Germany or any other aggressive power to secure for itself world domination." The Russian ordeal at Stalingrad and in the deep Caucasus, marked today by reports of defense lines rectified but unbroken, has for weeks been generally construed as a glowing temptation to the Japanese to strike at oriental Russia. The fact that such a blow has not fallen is not so much a credit to the neutrality pact between Russia and Japan as it is to the increasingly demonstrated capacity of the Red army to curb the German Invasion. Russians Not Crumbling Stalin's proud appraisal of Russia's power was expressed in a carefully phrased letter to Henry C.

Cassidy, chief of The Associated Press bureau at Moscow, after Cassidy, among other questions, had asked, "What remains of the Soviet capacity for resistance?" Stalin replied: "I think that the Soviet capacity of resisting the German brigands is in stretngth not less, if not greater, than the capacity of Fascist Ger many or any other aggressive power to secure lor itself world domination." At the same time the Russian premier, defense commissar and commander-m-chief said that the question of an Allied second- front to help Russia was of first rate importance and that "as compared with the aid with which the Soviet union is giving to the Allies by draw ing upon itself the main force of the German Fascist, the aid of the Allies to the Soviet union has so far been little effective. "In order to amplify and improve this aid, the Stalin letter contin ued, "only one thing is required: that the Allies fulfill their obligations fully and on The historic letter gained considerable attention in world Capital and was. informally discussed by the United States and British ambassadors to Moscow, with 'the possibility that they would seek further clarification. It seemed that the principal Allied concern was whether establishment of a second front in 1942, which the Russians generally consider an Allied obligation, should be so considered by the governments involved. The letter underlined what appears to be a growing divergence in interpretation of the United States and British agreement with Russia as to "the urgent tasks of creating a second front in Europe in 1942." The British and American envoys, Adm.

William H. Standley and Sir Archibald Clark-Kerr, met at luncheon today at the United States embassy in Moscow. In Washington, Acting Secretary of State Welles said that the United States now is giving Russia all aid humanly possible and that it was hardly necessany to say that it was Washington's intention to render See WAR Page 2 0FFI1C1GE Last Criminal Indictment Against G. 0. P.

Official Dropped by Judge DETROIT, Oct. 5 (IP) The last criminal indictment against Frank D. McKay, Republican national committeeman, to remain on the United States district court dockets was dismissed today by Federal Judge Edward J. Moinet. The indictment was one in which McKay, two other men and the bond firm of Stranahan, Harris Coi, of Toledo, were accused of con spiracy in connection with the sale of worth of city of Grand Rapids waterworks bonds.

The indictment was dismissed on motion of John C. Lehr, district attorney, who was acting on orders of Wendell A. Berge, chief of the criminal division of the department of justice. In a letter to Lehr, Berge said he was directing a motion of dismissal because "detailed study of all the available evidence has forced the conclusion that chances of successful prosecution are too remote to justify a trial."

The Grunion, launched at Groton, last December 22, was commanded by Lieut. Com. Mannert L. Abele, 39, of Quincy, Mass. The brief navy communique did not say how many men were aboard the submarine, but vessels of this class 1,526 tons carry a normal complement of approximately 65 men.

This was the fifth submarine reported lost by the navy since the war began two, the Shark and the Perch, were presumed lost by enemy action when long overdue in the western and southwestern Pacific areas; the S-26 was lost In a collision off Panama and the Sea Lion was demolished at Cavite in Manila bay to prevent capture.

Child Fatally Hurt (Special The State Journal) LAKE ODESSA, Oct. 5 A two- car collision near here late Sunday afternoon caused the death of a one-year-old child and injured four other persons. The accident victim was Mary Jean Buxton, one-year-old daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Herbert Buxton of Lake Odessa, who died of a fractured skull shortly after being brought to the office of Dr. M. A. Hoff, Lake Odessa physician.

The child's father is employed at the Nash-Kelvinator plant in Lansing and was working at the time of the accident. The injured, none of whom was seriously hurt, are Mrs. Lillian Buxton, 25, mother of Mary Jean, who was driving one of the cars; her sister, Mrs. Marie Haskins. 23, of Grand Rapids; Mrs.

Haskins' daughter, Thelma, 2'i years old, and Court D. Huggans, 59, of Route 3, Lake Odessa, driver of the other car involved. The accident occurred about 5 o'clock at an intersection of county road 452 and a township road, one mile north and a mile east of here. Deputy Merle Doty of Ionia county sheriff's department, who, with Coroner Harry Myers, investigated the accident, said Mrs. Buxton's car rolled over for 144 feet after the collision.

Huggans told investigating officers he did not see Mrs. Buxton's car crossing his path until too late to avoid hitting it. Coroner Myers said he would conduct an mquest.

LAKE ODESSA CHILD KILLED Youth Tells Police He Shot Victim Along Lonely Road Near Bay City USES CAR IN GET-AWAY BAY CITY, Oct. 5 (P) Superintendent of Police Frank W. Ander son said today that a 16-year-old boy had composedly confessed that he shot and beat to death Clyde Valentine, 39-year-old Detroiter, on a lonely country road in neighboring Midland county Sunday morning, then took the slain man's auto and his effects and masqueraded as his victim' on an automobile tour until his capture late in the day. Anderson said the farm boy, who admitted serving a term in a juvenile corrective school for theft from a welfare officer two years ago, told of hitch-hiking a ride with Valentine near the city of Midland about midnight Saturday.

Two Mexican sugar beet workers also rode with them for a distance and when Valentine had dropped them off the man and boy rode on together down a side road at 2 a. m. On the ride, Anderson-said the boy told him, he noticed a .38 caliber pistol in a car compartment and, finding a pretext to have his companion stop for a moment, he seized the weapon and held up the man, demanding money. "When he told me he had no money," the boy was quoted, "I shot him three times and he rolled out of the car. I pulled him down the road-side about 12 feet, but he was not yet dead.

So I hit him over the head with the pistol several times." Then, the confession continued, the boy backed up the car over Valentine's body. From the death scene he drove several miles, to park in a grove and slept until 5 a. m. After his nap, the confession re counted, the boy started back for Midland but ran the car off a slippery road into a ditch. Then he hitch-hiked five miles into the ham let of Sanford and, representing himself as Clyde used the slam man's insurance aid card at a garage and accompanied a wrecker back to the car, which was released from the.

Thence-he drove -back to Mid land for breakfast and subsequently to Royal Oak, a Detroit suburb, later heading back for Midland, eventu ally reaching Bay- City, where a police patrol car spotted the car parked on the wrong side of a street while the boy was in a restaurant. Still representing himself as Valentine and "41 years police said he broke down in a confused story and related his confession. Early today he was taken back to Midland for appearance in probate court, a preliminary under Michigan law to prosecution of a minor. Valentine's body was discovered at 8 a. m.

Sunday by a farmer and police were thwarted for lack of the stolen effects, from making imme diate identification. The slain man was identified as a Detroit bar tender. Lansing Firemen Engaged in Inspection Work and Educational Campaign Behind the slogan "every fire aids the Axis," Lansing firemen Monday went about the special job of inspections and educational work in connection with the observance of National Fire Prevention Week, October 4 to 10. One of. the many acts warned against as a fire hazard caused a slight loss in Lansing township Sunday, but inside the city the first day of the week passed with nothing more than two false alarms.

An effort was made to start a fire with gasoline at the home of Robert B. Miller, 3909 Xowcroft street, at 4:35 o'clock Sunday afternoon and the fluid flashed back and ignited the dwelling. Loss was estimated at $50. Educational displays were being prepared by the fire department Monday morning in show windows at the VanDervoort Hardware and J. C.

Penney company stores. In all schools of the city the fire prevention educational work was carried on with added emphasis and children were to make thorough checks against fire hazards in their homes. Chief Paul Lefke of the fire de partment said the need for every precaution today is greater thar ever because the buildings and fur nishings destroyed by fire cannot be replaced. America's fire loss gives comfort to the Axis nations, he said. The two raise alarms Sunday were turned in from the corner of South and Piatt streets at 12:19 a.

5 (IP) Mrs. Anna H. Lambson, a native of Ovid, who came to Salt Lake City by covered wagon in 1862, died yesterday at the age of 102 years. Her survivors include three daugh ters, 32 grandchildren, 101 greatgrandchildren and 44 great-great- Ison and 11 great-grandsons are serving In the nation's armed forces. FIR The National Observer The News Behind The Days News to fears of Capitol Hill politicians, President Roosevelt on his incognito tour of the country's munitions plants made no attempt to exalt himself or to cut down legislators during the Bitter controversy regarding his anti-inflation program.

He confined his actions to the business of checking production of planes, tanks, artillery, etc. Regardless of the merits of such censorship principles, the secrecy which surrounded this unprecedented trip constitutes a tribute to the American press and people. Every Washington newspaper man knew about the swing around the circle but wrote nothing about it for publication. Neither Hitler nor Mussolini, who travel in dictatorial style, could have moved through their countries with greater safety. The secret service, which was appalled when first informed of F.

D. scheme, did a grand job. Posing as army-navy inspectors, they laid detailed advance plans in every city and factory the Chief Executive intended to visit. At no time was Mr. Roosevelt in the path of danger, thanks to "Ed" Starling's sleuths and shadows.

Ford TTHE only paper that broke the censor's ruling was the journal of an organization in a city located in the northwestern Pacific area. It printed 16.000 copies describing the presidential tour, but all except 4.000 were collected and commandeered by secret service agents. No orthodox sheet informed the public, although influential representatives here filed a formal protest with the White House against the muzzling of the press. In a west coast city the head man's daughter, Anna Boettiger, christened a new merchant marine vessel. Her father sat beside her and helped guide her hand in splashing champagne against the ship's hull.

There was a complete story of the launching and Anna's ineptness in breaking the bottle, but no mention of her distinguished parent's presence. An even more revealing incident occurred at Henry Ford's Willow Run plant. Earl Godwin, former Washington correspondent and now a radio commentator on the Ford program, was going through the factory with Henri'. Along came F. D.

R. When he saw Earl, he waved and called: "Remember, Earl. I am not here I am still in Washington!" The auto magnate's eyes bugged at this show of familiarity on the part of the chief. In an awed voice he asked Godwin; "Do you know, the President of the United States that well? Does he call you by your first name?" And Earl, being a smart fellow, stuck his fingers in his vest and replied, "Why, certainly. Mr.

Ford. I know him so well that I call him by his middle name." Key PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT and Leon Henderson, price administrator, have criticized the congressional rural bloc's anti-inflation bill because it boosts parity levels to 112H percent if "all farm labor costs" are included. If only hired help is counted in the equation involving receipts and payments the figure will be 104.06. But. as the political agriculturists point out.

the administration has permitted prices to rise far above the peak which F. D. R. denounces. In his catch-all message the Chief Executive said he would approve ceilings of any recent date and both house and senate measures with his full approval, fixed September 15 as the economic day of reckoning.

The President may not realize it probably doesn't but here is what gives his Capitol Hill opponents a laugh and a pain: September loth parity prices on key foodstuffs which enter into the family budget were: hogs, 123; beef cattie. 136; veal calves, 127; lambs, 133: wool. 143: chickens, 117; milk, 115: rice, 125: cottonseed, 132; dry field peas, 133. Every one of these products is far above the 1121? or 104.06 index. And It was Mr.

Roosevelt and Mr. Henderson who permitted these edibles to soar to a point where they are almost unbuyable. No wonder the farm bloc is angry.

All landlords who have raised rents in the last seven months will be asked to reduce them to the March 1 levels.

Henderson said the stabilization order, covering an estimated 000,000 householders living outside the 395 defense rental areas already designated, would mean that "the cost of housing to American families the most important single item in their budget will be kept stable throughout the war." In addition to controling rents. he said existing regulations would be changed to prevent eviction of tenants through the sale of property. except in cases of legitimate real estate transactions or where hardship would result if the property-owner could not regain possession. See PRICES Page 2 Studious Attorney Is Found Dead in Detroit Hotel; Hint Poisoning DETROIT, Oct. 5 (INS) Miss Unafred Dlmer, Fort Wayne, school teacher whose date with her studious fiance was broken by his death and possible murder returned saddened to her teaching today.

Meanwhile, Detroit police continued their search for the mrri. ous redhead who was supposed to have been in Clyde A. McCoy's hotel uie uignt oeiore police found him dead. McCoy, 35, was a Fort Wayne attorney. Miss Ann James, 22-year-old manicurist, told officers that she visited McCoy's room last Friday night and tutu sue saw a reaneaded woman put "knockout" drons in Mr-t soft drinks.

Miss James is in custody nunc uie searcn ior tne otner woman continues. McCoy was to have met Miss Ul-mer at his Ann Arbor, rooming house Saturday. McCoy, who had been expecting a commission in the army, had been taking a post graduate course at the University of Michigan. Miss Ulmer, who came to Detroit to identify McCov's bodv. tnlrf hrim she arrived in Ann Arbor from Fort Wayne.

She said she was told at McCoy's rooming house that he had gone to Detroit. So she drove to a picnic retreat on the Huron riwr and laid out -the cookies, cakes and cider she had brought from Fort Wayne. She thought that McCoy would be along soon. -She waited all afternoon, then re. turned to the rooming house.

"Haven't you heard?" the landlady told her. "He was murdered in his hotel room." So Miss Ulmer drove to Detroit and there she told rerjorters that "I always believed that there was at least one weakness in every man. And I used to wonder what Clyde's was. Now I guess I know. "Why did he come Detroit? I can't blame that girl (Miss James).

Maybe I can't blame him either." She said that she and McCot were to have been married last Jan uary. But the wedding was post poned until McCoy could obtain his commission. "It looks like I'll be a school teach- er the rest of my life," she said. "I can't understand how he could be drugged. Among other things he was an expert on poisons and had a hypersensitive nose." Of McCoy, she said "He was quite a guy.

That's the best way I can describe him. He was an athlete at Grinnell university, an expert on three-dimensional color photography, a former member of the Pinkerton detective agency, was a good lawyer and had practised before the United States su-. preme court several times." SUB SINKS U. S.
