FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1941 PAGE ONE Hitch-Hiker Gets Lift; Repays Benefactor In Usual Manner The old story of the hitch-hiker turning on the good Samaritan who helped him today had been repeated in Provo. W. V. Wilkerson of 142 North Ninth West two weeks ago picked up a hitch-hiker, William Robert Keenan, 25, of New Jersey at Moab while he was trucking coal, according to Provo police. Keenan had no place to go, so Wilkerson took him in and has since been boarding him at his home. Wednesday evening Mrs. Wilkerson became ill and her husband hus-band took her to the doctor. While they were gone, Keenan stole $00 from a bureau drawer, took a mackinaw coat and fled, according accord-ing to the story. Wilkerson, upon returning home, notified police. A check-up revealed re-vealed Keenan had boarded a Burlington Bur-lington bus for La3 Vegas. Police telephoned Cedar City officers who stopped " the bus, arrested Keenan and found $45 on him, and obtained a confession. One of the Provo policemen thi3 afternoon left for Cedar City with a warrant for Keenan's arrest on a grand larceny charge.

In the largft building it la frequently difficult and sometimes some-times impossible for people at the rear of the hall to hear .the speakers. The accoustics of the tabernacle, taber-nacle, while considered excellent generally for concerts, are not favorable for speakers who fail to enunciate properly In a loud tone of voice. The public system is expected to overcome this deficiency. Pigeon Found With.. Numbered Leg Band When Keith Oveson, 505 North University avenue, opened his door the other night a blue pigeon walked in. Noticing that the bird's right wing had been injured, Oveson Ove-son decided to provide board and lodging for his visitor until the owner could be located. On the pigeon's leg is a band numbered 39-B4938-N. P. A. Oveson Ove-son hopes the owner will call for the bird at once. Are you a victim? Make this 50c, no risk test. Helps build bodily resistance.

Phone 50 the last annual financial statement state-ment of General Aniline, on December De-cember 31, 1940, showed that it owned outright 56,300 shares of common (voting) stock, valued at $6,136,700, of the International Gesellschaft fuer Chemische Un-ternehmungen Un-ternehmungen A. G. Switzerland, and another 28,600 shares of this firm's common stock listed as "50 per cent paid." The justice department's grand jury probe is for the purpose of ascertaining whether Chemische Unternehmungen, although listed as a Swiss firm, is not actually Nazi- controlled. Another item under scrutiny in General Aniline's report is 43,750 shares of common stock valued at $772,012 of American Magnesium Corporation listed as "sold subsequent subse-quent to December 31, 1940." American Magnesium was organized organ-ized originally by the Aluminum Corporation of America, aLso one of those indicted in January. Since 1933 its ownership had been divided equally with General Aniline. Ani-line. Following the indictments. Aluminum Corporation bought out General Aniline's interest a highly high-ly significant move about which there was little publicity. Note: Magnesium Development Company, the key patent holding company of the magnesium industry, indus-try, also indicted in January, is still owned jointly bv Aluminum Corporation and I. G. Farbenin-dustrie. Farbenin-dustrie. It possesses all the vital patents on magnesium fabricating fabricat-ing processes, so that even if the monopoly is broken on production of this strategic metal, its fabrication fabri-cation might still be controlled by this 50 per cent Nazi-owned firm. I PRIVATE MATTER Governor Prentice Cooper of Tennessee was introduced to A, R. Clancy, OPM ordnance chief, at a Washington luncheon. "And what is your background. Mr. Glancy?" Cooper, a good Democrat, inquired pleasantly. "I don't see how that is at all pertinent," replied Glancy very coldly. Note: A former motor official, Glency, as a deputy NRA ' administrator, admin-istrator, was publicly denounced by the AFL. for restoring the Blue Eagle label to a mill charged with violating the NRA code. During the 1936 presidential campaign he was one of the leaders of the Republican Re-publican social security payroll scare that aroused widespread condemnation. I BILL OF FRILLS 'I- " 5s Press gallery wits have taken to referring to the stymied $150,-000,000 $150,-000,000 emergency defense housing hous-ing measure as the "bill of frills," This is a soft impeachment. Not in a long time has an important piece of legislation suffered more congressional obstruction and inconsistency. in-consistency. Introduced several months ago to meet an urgent defense situation, situa-tion, the bill was stalled for ten days in the house rules committee by a noisy row over the installation installa-tion of "frill3," such as refrigerators refrigera-tors and gas stoves, in homes for defense workers. Finally. after inserting an amendment barring these appliances, appli-ances, the house passed the measure meas-ure and it went to the senate. There it ran head on into another "frill" tangle in reserve. This time a "frill'' was put into the bill. Brick makers protested that rE WHEN YOUH CHAIKS, TABLES, DRESSERS. CABINETS. ETC..

Gambier-Parry. , ' ' the $3,000 limit specified for each housing unit barred the use of bricks, and demanded that the ante be raised to $3,500. One of the chief pro-brick spokesmen was Senator Bob Taft of Ohio, a leading lead-ing economy advocate, who sought to slash the lend-lease appropriation appropria-tion on the ground that it was excesive. On the argument that savings in paint, repairs and heating through the use of brick would more than offset the $500 difference, differ-ence, the senate approved the boost and added another delay. For now the amended measure has to go back to the house for it to decide whether bricks fall in the same "luxury" category as refrigerators and gas ranges.
