They believed that the danger of involvement of Turkey under these conditions is growing but felt that Turkey would resist any azi attack. Wary of Invasion This, it was admitted, probably would overturn whatever plans the Eritish have for an offensive into North Africa and might even enable the Germans to launch another attack toward Egypt, combined with a thrust toward the Suez from Turkey if the Vehrrr.acht marches into that country. In this situation London sources frankly admitted that the best the British could employ would be an invasion of the continent to draw off German troops and planes from the east.

But they added, the British are in the position of a man who has been thrown out of a saloon four tirr.es. They are reluctant derstandably about going in again. Hence. London felt there was no chance whatever for anything more than possible raids slong the continental shore for ciany months to come.

941 The proposed DuBay or Knowlton dam and power development will produce about 43,000,000 kilowatt hours of power a year a power facility that will be turned over to the federal government for defense purposes "if ever it is necessary," public service commissioners examiners were told Thursday. The examiners, Adolf Kanne-berg and Herbert T. Ferguson, heard the application of the Consolidated Water Power Wisconsin Rapids, to build a dam and power plant on the Wisconsin river at Knowlton, approximately 11 miles north of Stevens Point. None Opposed Atty. Theodore Brazeau, Wisconsin Rapids, and William Theile, Wisconsin Rapids, chief engineer for Consolidated, presented evidence supporting the application.

There were no appearances opposing it, although A. G. Curneen, representing the Mosinee Paper sat in "to protect our interests in flowage rights." Through Brazeau's questioning, Theile explained the technical aspects of the project and revealed that Consolidated already had spent $526,820 in acquiring flow-age rights on 8,987 acres of land, and contemplate spending $37,399 more for 663 additional acres. The dam, Theile said, will form a lake 6,904 acres extending 16 miles up the river. Estimating that total cost of the project would be $2,055,039, Theile explained that the concrete dam and gates would cost $395,280, an earth dike will amount to highway changes will cost power house costs will amount to power house equipment cost of preparing the area $40,000, and $25,000 for employes.

Transmission lines, he estimated, would cost "about $160,000." Says Costs Accurate Theile said he was certain his estimates of cost would ')e "reasonably accurate" because they were based on company experience and the fact that a "good deal of the equipment already has been purchased." The company engineer said his firm "naturally" would devote its resources to defense needs If asked to do so, and said the firm had requested a priorities rating so needed materials could be obtained. The 11-gate, 25-foot dam in Eau Plaine township, Portage county, will have no fishway provided, Theile admitted, but will provide a 16-mile lake that should be "a vast improvement." Gates will be 30 feet wide and 18 feet deep. Contracts already have been let for the construction of an earth dike near the power house, Theile said. Brazeau said the proposed dam would be called the "DuBay power station" in honor of one of the old settlers of the area who had established the first trading post there. James Fornary, special counsel for August Frey's division of departmental research, attended the hearing, and took copious notes.

Frey some time ago wrote Gov. Heil, demanding that the chief executive hold up the road contracts on the highway relocations planned in the area near the proposed dam. Frank Hafemans, Brodhead, Observe Golden Wedding Brodhead Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hafeman will hold open house Sunday from 2 to 5 and from 7 to 10 p.

m. to observe their 50th wedding anniversary. They make then-home in Spring Valley township. Endres and Davidson kept minutes of the meetings which some times differed and that only recently had the trustees' minutes been read and approved. Endres said he never had heard of a little petty cash fund Mrs.

Davidson obtained from sale of clothing and to be used to brighten up the institution. Few Storm Windows Because they thought there had been unfair discharges, Endres testified, the trustees on Jan. 3, 1940, voted to have the superintendent consult the trustees before firing anyone. Hill showed the statute says the superintendent may remove an employe, and Endres admitted that the district attorney's office held the trustee could not vote their plan. In January, Endres said, he saw only four storm windows up on the asylum, where before he had seen "an awful lot of them." He did not remember if he spoke about it.

Hill charged previously "witnesses ha-ve been called to testify on hearsay and testify on hearsay on hear-say." Where there has been hear-say, it has been marked so on the record, Maloney replied. "I think I've got enough cuts left to not take the blame for something I'm not to blame for," Endres sand.

NATION-WIDI RAH-AIR IIRVICI There were two interesting angles on the weather today: ONE: High winds, some rain, and cooler temperatures predicted for the weekend. TWO: Those flashing "northern lights," which included Madison in a nationwide display Thursday night. There are stormy areas and a cold air mass north of Wisconsin in Canada, and as they move down, Eric Miller, government meteorologist, believes "th freshmen out at the University of Wisconsin better not canoe on Lake Mendota high waves might swamp them." Winds Start Today He said the winds will start this afternoon and tonight. The forecast is for warmer Saturday, but added "you better not plan anything big for the weekend," because there'll be more cold winds and at least a little rain by Sunday. The aurora bdrealis display spread from Montana to the Atlantic, and south as far as Florida, the United Press reported.

It became visible in Madison shortly after 7 p. m. when flashing lights played over Lake Mendota for about an hour. The lights stretched over a moon-shaped area over the lake, and seemed to ex-i tend miles intd the sky. Interferes With Radio The display interfered with short wave transmission and receiving.

Listening posts in New York were unable to pick up Eu-1 ropean war broadcasts, and a program aimed at Mexico by the National Broadcasting co. was not received there. Miller explained here that the lights are caused by electrical disturbances originating on the sun, where "sun spots" are signs of storms cn that body. The disturbances reach the earth approximately 29 hours after leaving the sun, causing the lights and the short wave interruptions as they cut through. There are more auroras in March and September because in those months, the earth is more directly opposite the sun spot zones, he said.

Groups of watchers gathered in streets, especially in suburbs where street lights did not interfere with seeing the display, and gut cramped necks watching the every-changing lights. Coloring was faint, but nearly every observer commented that the display was the greatest he had ever seen. At times the lights formed a dome covering the entire sky, the lights battling madly at the zenith, shooting to the horizon and back again. 17 City (Continued from page 1) an occupational license for drunken drivers convicted for the first time "in a period of a year." On this form the judge specifies restrictions as to hours, routes, and type of operation. Before a convicted drunken driver can get back his driving privileges at the end of the year's revocation, he must show financial responsibility in the form of a surety bond or liability insurance.

In some cases the judge may recommend suspension of a driver's license for flagrant violations such as reckless driving and speeding. Record of Convictions On a fourth form courts must furnish the state department with records-of convictions covered under sections of the statutes titled: Motor vehicle registration (failure to do so), operators must be licensed, limitations on overtaking and passing, meeting of vehicles, overtaking and passing another vehicle, passing on curves and grades, parking on highways, driving through Safety zones, in business districts (speed violations in business and residential districts), brakes, and vehicles to stop at arteries for through traffic signs. Drivers with poor driving records may find their licenses suspended, Jones said. He Fights Draft 11 Months, Then Fails Physical CINCINNATI, Ohio (U R) Jerome Hoesting, 22, Cincinnati, fought induction under the selective service act for 11 months and even spent 17 days in jail rather than report. Today he decided iiat all was in vain.

Hoersting failed to report Induction in July after he passed his preliminary physical examination. Federal agents arrested him and he was bound over for the, grand jury under $1,500 bond. The youth, who asked deferment on grounds that his civilian job as assistant to his father a paper-hanger was a necessary one, could not make the bond and was placed in jail for 17 days. At the Ft. Thomas, induction center, Hoersting Wednesday failed to pass his army physical examination and was deferred.

One Dies in Blast Felt 30 Miles Away 111. (U.R) One man was reported killed today in a heavy explosion at the Illinois Powder Manufacturing co. plant about a mile east of Grafton. The blast destroyed the neutralizing plant, where the only victim was wprking, and shook buildings 30 miles away. Officials of the powder company said the firm manufactures explosives for commercial uses only and that it is not engaged in filling defense orders.

CHICAGO (U.R) The America First committee said Thursday its national executive committee has discussed Charles A. Lindbergh's Des Moines speech and will issue a statement on it "within a few days." Lindbergh in a broadcast address from Des Moines last Thursday charged the British, the Jews, and the Roosevelt administration with promoting United States involvement in the war. R. Douglas Stuart, national chairman of the committee, announced at the same time plans were considered for "an intensified campaign in answer to the president's threats of undeclared war in violation of the constitution." Draft (Continued from page 1) and Sauk counties will be examined by the traveling board when it visits Madison, Wilde said. Wilde explained that, if accepted by the army examiners, registrants would be given from 10 to 30 days to return home and settle their affairs before entering the army, but that in "extreme" cases a 60-day leave could be granted.

Draftees will be sent to induction camps directly from their homes instead of the examination center. Draftees who wish to enter the service immediately may do so. The federal government will furnish transportation to and from the examining station and a-lso to the reception center, and also will furnish meals and lodging if the inerant examining board wishes to hold a selectee for an extended physical checkup. Most of the X-ray and laboratory work will be done by the army examiners rather than the local boards. The 15-man itinerant board of examiners will be composed of both army and civilian physicians.

The itinerant board will first meet in Madison Oct. 20, 21, 22, send 23, and the new plan will not go into effect in this area until the October draft quota is called. The army examiners will do their Madison work at St. Mary's hospital. "The drafted man no longer must relinquish his job and business contacts and dispose of personal property and then be eliminated on induction day," Wilde pointed out.

"The new plan should be of benefit to both employes and employers." 18 Upstate Counties to Open Season on Grouse Saturday ASHLAND (U.R) Clerks of 18 northern Wisconsin counties were besieged today by hunters seeking licenses in time for the beginning of a 10-day open season on grouse Saturday. The season will open officially at 1 p. m. and will close at 4 p. m.

Sept. 29. Legal shooting hours after the first day will be from 7 a. m. to "3 p.

m. The 10-day period will be the first part of a split season approved by the state conservation commission and Gov. Heil. Grouse hunting also will be permitted Oct. 18 to Nov.

7. Conservation Warden L. D. Jones said legal prey during the season will be ruffed grouse (partridge), pinnated grouse (prairie chicken), and sharp-tailed grouse. Hanson Services WOODFORD Funeral services for Mrs.

Sina Hanson, 70, Woodford resident who died Wednesday at her home after an illness of several months, will be held at 1:30 p. m. Saturday at the Hanson home in Woodford and at 2:30 p. m. at the East Wiota church.

The Rev. G. M. Gunderson will officiate, with burial in the church cemetery. She was born March 10, 1871, in Norway and came to Woodford with her parents when she was two.

She married Henry Hanson in March, 1891. The Hansons always lived in the Woodford area since their marriage.

Resign (Continued from page 1) trying to determine whether there were case records, and Hill said: "I still repeat my criticism." Endres agreed with Hill that before a change in rules permitting employes with Sunday off to leave on Saturday evening, there were two attendants on duty between 6:30 and 8 p. m. to morning. Endres Doesn't Know Endres said he did not know if there were four other attendants in the building subject to call.

"Did you ever inquire as to how many stayed and how many were subject to call?" Endres insisted he did not know about any rule on subject to call, during a sharp exchange of words. "I think you ought to resign as a trustee right now," Hill shot out. Endres again said he did not know if they were subject to call, and Hill brought out the possibility of fire. "If they want to stay and burn to death, they can." When Hill asked how many were on Saturday night after the rule changed, Endres said "I don't know, the same as Sanitary Inaction Assailed Hill brought out the danger to some 200 insane people "in the event of fire, and asked if Endres thought that were proper protection. The trustee replied "they do that in other institutions." Both Hill and Maloney questions criticized trustees of inaction on sanitary, recommendations of the state.

A state sanitary engineer's report said that considerable elimination of cross-connections should be made to prevent possibility of water backing up into the water tank, that the water supply should be checked regularly, and1 that toilet facilities should be improved. Endres said specifications for improvement prepared by John Novotny, University of Wisconsin engineer, after an institution visit, should be available today, but that a copy of the state's recommendation had not been given Novotny. Opposed Pasteurization Maloney emphasized the letter, "the most important factor is clean milk," and "the first and most important necessity is pasteurization." "The truth the trustees as a whole, I do not believe, were sold on pasteurization," Endres said. In connection with another rec-mendation that competent individual inmates be used for milking, Endres said nothing could be done on that except purchase a milking machine, which the trustees had not recommended. The trustee said he thought most of the inmate milkers are competent.

When Hill asked for a trustees' meeting record of any inside inspection during 1940 or 1941, Endres replied every meeting was an inspection one, and then said it was impossible every time to make a thorough tour of the wards, kitchens, and other places. Ignorant of Investigations Hill brought out that Endres knew Blanche Murphy, inspector for the state department of public welfare, had inspected the institution, and Endres said he never had gone to her to learn of her recommendations, but that Siggel-kow did. Endres testified he thought Miss Murphy had made only one inspection in 1940, and Hill brought out reports of her three trip's there. The attorney charged Endres should have had interest enough to learn what she had found. Hill read Miss Murphy's letters to her office in which the institution was described as being in its usual good condition, and in which she said the Davidsons planned improvements but were hampered by the trustees' "viewpoints on economy." Endres said he thought the state sent reports of inspection to the institution, but that he never saw one.

"Do you think as trustee in charge of well near 300 patients it was not your duty to find out about the reports?" "I can't answer it the way you put it." Both Kept Minutes Another letter report, praising the Davidsons, said "Until harmonious relations are established, working conditions' hardly will be bettered," referring to attendants leaving beca-use of low salaries. Attendants now get from S45 to $60 a month. Questioning showed that ooth Frank Case LANCASTER-Frank Case, 52, South Lancaster, a retired farmer and a member of an old Grant county family, died here Thursday after an operation at a Lancaster hospital.

I MATS our I ONir I VRICf U. S. Grabs 3 Ships on Strike NEW YORK (U.P.) The United States maritime commission requisitioned three strike bound vessels here Thursday night and the Seafarers International union (American Federation of Labor) threatened a general strike tying up coastwise and intercoastal if the government attempts to operate them. A general strike would affect 20.000 seamen from Boston to Seattle, according to the union. Ships Tied Up The commission acted after fail cf the union and the shipowners to begin arbitration by 1 p.

Thursday. The union is demanding increased "war bonus" and insurance clauses. The strike was called Saturday and more and more ships were struck as they arrived in ports in ensuing days. The total of ships still tied up in eastern and southern ports Thursday was reported to be 14, the Alcoa, Calmar, Waterman, Robin. Shepard and American-Hawaiian lines being affected.

The first three ships seized belong to the Alcoa line, a subsidiary of the Aluminum Company America. Strike Vote Next The sailors union of the Pacific joined the strike Thursday nd struck three more vessels here, the Oklahoman and Mon-tanan cf the American-Hawaiian Lre and Shepard's Sea Thrush.
