Fi Page Eight to i - Action Started To Stop Building Of Home On 8th North A restraining order preventing pre-venting Frances M. Gee, Or-ville Or-ville G. Gee, and his wife, Norma Gee, from proceeding with construction of a house on what is asserted"to be a public street at Eighth North between University avenue and First West is asked in a complaint com-plaint filed in district court Tuesday Tues-day by I. E. Brockbank, city attorney. at-torney. Plaintiffs in the case are Provo city, Ida B. Hasler, T. Earl and Kathryn B- Pardoe, H. S. Belmont, Bel-mont, Joseph C. Clark, Myrta Bonnett, Clara Bell Grange, George E. Harris, Glen P. Vincent, Vin-cent, Byron A. Howard, and Stephen Ste-phen Murdock, who possess lands abutting- on or to which ingress or egress iy made available by Eighth North extending west from the avenue to First West, according to the complaint. Defendants Named Named defendants, along- with the three Gees, are Royal J. Murdock, Mur-dock, Zina C. Murdock, his wife, and Margaret Murdock. The suit sets out that in 1922 Elias A. Gee, now deceased, and Frances M. Gee, "his wife, on the one hand, and Royal J. Murdock, his wife, Zina, and Margaret Murdock Mur-dock on the other hand, entered into an oral agreement whereby they agreed to open a public street lour roud wide and dedicate dedi-cate the same to use as a public street. Provo city acknowledged the street, the complaint states, and graveled and graded it and constructed con-structed public improvements along the east opening without cost to the defendants. Notwithstanding, Frances M. Gee and Orville and Norma Gee now claim to be owners of the south part of the lands dedicated as a street, and have recently built a fence and have commenced commenc-ed construction of a house in the street, destroying the street for public use, the suit alleges. The defendants ask that the lands in question be adjudged as a public street, that the Gees be permanently enjoined from maintaining the fence or any other oth-er obstruction, and not be permitted per-mitted to build a house on the land; also that they be required to fill in the excavation made for a basement or be assessed $250 damage fees.

Maxwell field authorities said today Lieut. E. T. Ostler, 25, of Sandy, Utah, gave his life to save that of his companion, Cadet R. M. Smith, of Stamford, Conn., who parachuted to safety when an army plane crashed 13 miles southwest of here. Smith, who telephoned Maxwell Field authorities from the scene, said the plane went into a spin while on a routine maneuver. Ostler Ost-ler told Smith the plane would not come out cf the spin and to iL3 LZ3Ti OH , f . r " r - Oil, Hecomincn dations on Improved Im-proved Office Practice Made in Keport Filed Results of a special investigation investiga-tion of transactions in the Provo city treasurer's office from January Janu-ary 1 to July 31, together with recommendations for office practice prac-tice changes for "better internal control and protection of city funds" were outlined in a report submitted to the city commission Tuesday by Beosley, Wood and company, certified public accountants. account-ants. After a check-up of the shortage in the accounts of Almo B. Simmons, Sim-mons, former city treasurer, the four special improvement accounts admitted by the treasurer constituted con-stituted the list of abstractions which could be substantiated, the auditors reported. The accounts, totaling $668.31, were as follows: Salt Lake and Utah Railroad, $127.50; Utah I'ower and Light, $23-1.42; J. Hold-en, Hold-en, $182.37, and L. J. Memmott, $124.02. Also, the treasurer had cashed a personal check for $500, which he had left in the cash drawer, the auditors stated. Restitution of this amount, plus the $668.31 and interest in-terest thereon, has been made, with the exception of $7.34 in interest in-terest which had been overlooked, it was pointed out. Mayor Mark Anderson said that with payment of the $7.34, the case woidd be closed as far as Provo City is concerned. Recommendations made by Beesley and Wood follow: 1. That alter deposits are prepared pre-pared for the bank, they, should be taken to the auditor, who would check the deposit slips to see that one is a duplicate of the other, and then sign the duplicate before returning it to the treasurer. 2. That all special improvement tax notices, alter preparation by the treasurer's office, be turned over to the auditor to be checked against the tax rolls and mailed out by her. 3. 'i hat purchase be made of an up-to-date cash register that records re-cords payments and provides an official receipt by stamping tax notices. Mrs. Mary F. Smith, Provo city auditor, informs that the procedure proce-dure given in Beesley and Wood company's first recommendation is already in effect in the city system, sys-tem, having been instituted in August. She expressed her desire to comply with the other recommendations recom-mendations also. ID FAVOR DRITISI! AID .WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 U.P) A bitter senate fight was promised prom-ised today over a proposal to provide pro-vide money to Great Britain. The proposal, which would lift the Johnson act that prohibits loans to nations which defaulted on their World war debts, was introduced by Sen. William 11. King, D., Utah, who has been defeated de-feated for renomination. Sen. King presented a resolution resolu-tion which would scale down Brit-tian's Brit-tian's World war debt, authorize the president to loan money to Britain through the export-import bank, and give the president authority to negotiate for British island bases in the Pacific. His resolution provided for a waiving of the Johnson act and of the section sec-tion of the neutrality act prohibiting prohibit-ing loans to belligerents, insofar as they apply to Great Britain. The resolution faced strong opposition op-position in the senate foreign relations re-lations committee, where similar proposals heretofore have mustered muster-ed only a few votes, and strong opposition if it should reach the floor. jump immediately. Ostler stayed with the ship until Smith had leaped, still attempting to bring it under control. The p4ane was damaged but did not burn. Capt. R. E. L. Choate, member of the accident investigating committee com-mittee of Maxwell Field, said Ostler Ost-ler apparently attempted to bad out but was too close to the ground. The plane struck the ground at a 45-degre angle and Ostler's body was found about 100 yards from the plane. 1Mb I ff ' ii :tf V, "I i VW'P P" wmi Royal Air Force Stages Five-Hour Raid Over Berlin IJY JOE ALEX M OUR IS Foreign News Ed.: tor The Axis powers and Great Britain struggled to sv: y the vast power of Soviet Russia and the United States- today as the world-wide conflict mounted toward a new peak. On the air and sea battlefields, battle-fields, Germany stepped up plane and u-boat attacks designed design-ed to starve Great Britain; the Royal Air Force staged a record five-hour raid over Berlin, bombed bomb-ed many other German war bases bas-es and battled nazi wareraft over London; arid fascist air squadrons traded blows with the British in north Africa. Casftaltictt Reported There were unofficial estimates in London that 5.000 persons had been killed and 8,000 injured in September bombings. Despite the steadily mounting tempo of aerial warfare, however, there were developments of still greater potential importance on the diplomatic front, including 1. Efforts by Japan to improve relations with Soviet Russia, thus strengthening the new Germany-Italian-Japanese alliance, were predicted in Moscow, where the soviet press indirectly agreed with nazLs that relations between Russia Rus-sia and Germany were good and charged that the United States actually was engaged in military cooperation with Britain. The soviet attitude toward the war did not appear changed, but the newspaper emphasis tended to support nazi claims of Russia friendship and good will. Britain Cautioned 2. The German newspaper Hamburger Ham-burger Fremdenblat called upon the Soviets and the United States to make known definitely which side they favor in the war. Nazi spokesmen said the battle would go on uncompromisingly until victory vic-tory was achieved over Britain. 3. Premier Benito Mussolini was reported to have discussed with Spanish Interior Minister Ramon Serrano Suner the claims of Spain on Gibraltar and French Morocco and to have talked over possibility of raising the Arab world in opposition to Britain. The fascist press seemed less certain cer-tain that Spain, which would be vulnerable to heavy British air and sea attack and which needs food coming through the British blockade, would enter the war until later. 4. Japan was reported in a Tokyo To-kyo news broadcast to be "cautioning" "cau-tioning" Britain against proposed reopening of the Burma Road for , (Continued on Page Eight) to Provo Featuring expert instruction for appliances, and high class entertainment, enter-tainment, the annual Daily Herald cocking school will be held October 30, 31 and November 1 at the Third L.

There were scattered "boos" as well as cheers as the cardidate rode along Pontiac streets from his special train. Eggs were tossed toss-ed at Willkie's automobile and Mrs. Willkie was spattered. Willkie said "concentration of power in the hands of the chief executive and piling up of federal debt endangers democracy. Where there is great concentration of power in the federal government, he said, the lights of men to organize, or-ganize, to have labor unions and to lead a free life rapidly disappear. disap-pear. "It is one of the great tragedies," trage-dies," Willkie said, "that this administration ad-ministration has been able to mis represent itself and has been able to delude some people into believing believ-ing that it is the friend working people and the common man, whereas no administration is likely like-ly to be more dangerous to those people in the long run." Uuzzmi Yraps STOCKHOLM, Oct. 1 (!'.Pi Neutral diplomats repented today Russia has massed 1,000,000 men in the Baltic states. Germany, it was said, has concentrated possibly pos-sibly 350,000 in Norway where horses and men are being trained, apparently for an invasion of Britain. Concentration of these heavy forces in and around Scandinavia, it was said, does not necessarily mean imminent developments on the northern front. Activity, it was suggested, may or may not develop after winter freezes northern north-ern lakes and rivers, making troop movement easier.

In-dustries. The house and senate in that order approved a conference report embodying final provisions of the complicated bill and sent it to the president for signature. The measure is designed to assist as-sist defense by permitting manufacturers manu-facturers to write-off in fire years the cost of facilities built to handle military orders and by removing re-moving present specific profit limitations on airplane and warship war-ship contracts. To raise revenue and prevent enrichment, it boosts to 21 per cent the normal tax on corporations corpora-tions making $25,000 or more a year, and imposes additional steep taxes on profits which exceed "normal"' amounts. It does not change individual income tax rates. The tax bill, aside from its excess ex-cess profits tax and related defense de-fense features, would increase the normal corporation income tax. on corporations making $25,000 or more, to a total of 24 per cent. The increase is 3.1 per cent. Chairman Robert L. Doughton of the house ways and means committee, said the bill would raise from $500,000,000 to $1,000,-000.000 $1,000,-000.000 more revenue annually. The excess profits tax would apply to earnings in excess of certain - "normal"' levels. A coipox'-ation coipox'-ation would have to pay the treasury from 25 to 50 per cent of such "excess" earnings.

E f Mil go:;:tv Absences Of Local Contests Con-tests Blamed For Voter Apathy Although the weather was as clear and cool as the campaign cam-paign has been hot and muddy, mud-dy, balloting1 in the run-off election in Utah county today to-day was lethargic, and County Coun-ty Clerk C. A. Grant, who visited many of the polling places this morning, predicted a lighter, total vote than the 9000-plus 9000-plus cast itT the primary last month. Voting began at 7 a. m. and was to conclude at 7 p. m. Although the election was- devoid de-void of Utah county races and national issues, the bitter fight for the Democratic governorship nomination aroused as much, or more, interest than the King-Murdock King-Murdock contest in the September Septem-ber primary. Dr. Herbert B. Maw, who polled a heavy plurality in the first vote, remained a slight favorite over the administration candidate, Henry D. Moyle, but most observers observ-ers believed the result would be close. Both Maw and Movie w.acrpH aggressive campaigns, and their supporters laid down a barrage of charges and counter-charges in the closing days. Moyle claimed to have won the suppoit of several defeated aspirants, but it remained remain-ed a question whether their votes could be delivered in a bloc. Aside from the Democratic race, the principal contests on today's! ballot were the Republican gubernatorial gub-ernatorial nomination, with Don B. Colton opposing Reed Stevens; and the Republican senatorial battle bat-tle between Oscar Carlson and Philo Farnsworth. The winner of the latter contest will be matched against Rep. Abe Murdock, nominated nom-inated in September over Sen. William II. King. Two first district races were expected to attract many votes in these counties, j. Francis Fowles opposed Walter K.
