THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1943 13 CLOTHIER Draws Jail Term On Charge Of Violating Blackout Rules. Time Clock Mechanism Was Working Properly, Inspector Court. Stating that he could find no excue for the violation, Municipal Judge Clarence Denning sentenced Jack Baron, 538 Blair Avenue, manager of the Wolmuth Company, 134-36 West Fifth Street, to three days in the Workhouse yesterday because lights in his store burned during the test blackout February 24. Judge Denning said such a violation during a real blackout would have imperiled the lives of more than half a million persons in the Greater Cincinnati area. "By your lack of cooperation with officials you imperiled the lives of citizens in this entire vicinity," Judge Denning said.

"Other citizens cooperated and our 1 boys are giving their lives overseas for our safety. We owe it to them to be as good at preserving what they left a home as they are good in fighting on foreign sands and in mudholes. I see no excuse for this violation." STAY IS GRANTED. Baron, who was also fined $100 and costs, was granted twentyday stay pending an appeai. He was released on $250 bond.

Seregant Herbert Walke testified that lights in the store burned through the entire blackout. Captain George B. Dooley said the same lights burned during the dimout December. When arraigned Wednesday, after previously stating that a time clock apparently was out of order, Baron asked for A day's continuance so he could bring in an electrician, who repaired the clock, as a defense witness. The witness did not appear yesterday.

At the hearing Wednesday an inspector from the Ohio Inspection Bureau, who examined the clock mechanism at the suggestion of Judge Denning, testified that he found the timing unit in proper working condition. Paul Krieger, 1737 Madison Road, who also was charged with ignoring the same blackout because he failed to shut off lights in his apartment, was dismissed because of insufficient evidence. An auxiliary policeman testified that after he noticed lights in the Kreiger home, he notified someone on the porch to turn them off. DENIAL IS MADE. However, he admitted, he did not personally contact Kreiger and could not identify him.

Captain George Pearcy said that when he telephoned Kreiger, Kreiger denied that a light was burning in his home. In joining in the motion of Kreiger's attorney, former Judge Edward T. Dixon, for the dismissal, Prosecutor Robert Paul said "I believe he's guilty, but I can't prove it." The remark brought a sharp retort from Judge Dixon. Police Chief Eugene T. Weatherly, upon learning of the dismissal, said that hereafter police and auxiliary police would be instructed to contact personally the occupant of a place in which a violation occurs.

Last week a Negro, who failed to conceal a flame from a grate fire, was fined $50 and costs. An aged man, charged with disorderly conduct because he objected to police turning out his lights, was fined $10 and costs remitted. Heads U. S. 0.

The Cincinnati area comprises West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, and Southern Ohio. The office has to do with contracting for, inspectling, and accepting materiel from industry for the Air Forces. The Army Air Forces are interested in manning table projects from the standpoint of keeping key men in aviation industries until replacements can be trained.

The usual procedure is for an industry to prepare for the manning table and State Selective Service headquarters a job analysis sheet showing the status of every man as to draft, eligibility and job importance and in how many months he could be replaced. Under this plan industry surrenders no fewer men to selective service, but chooses the men it can most easily surrender. This releases men on a basis of how essential they are in their work rather than on the basis of their order numbers with their draft boards. Representatives of industry are not being invited to sit in on the conference today. Information from Washington calling the conference did not make plans clear, but it is believed that the area resident representatives will be given a picture of the procedure so that they can the story to industry in plan- carry ning manning tables.
