Given Hearing On Ordinance Public Ignores Action By Civil Service Group On Special Sick Pay Last Monday the mayor and city Council passed a new ordinance allowing one city employe to substitute for another after the one city employe had exhausted sick and vacation leave. To make sure the "sick" employe received the benefit of this legislation at once, they tacked on the "emergency provision."

Although the notice of the meet- Ing was published earlier and the matter was of sufficient Importance that the council invoked the emergency provision, no one attended. Even Steve Tormey, who had pleaded eloquently for the "sick" fireman at the council meeting, failed to make an appearance, Dissenting Vote Lacking a gallery the commission decided without a dissenting that although it might be 'all right to allow the employe to hire a substitute In the event of Illness over the usual time, a line must be drawn somewhere regard- Ing the time element. They set forth in their resolution, which is now the law on the matter: "Any employe. whose normal duties are on a shift basis may be granted leave or leaves with pay, while absent from duty for such reasons.

Ed Litt as a photographer, Attack In Egypt Not Planned As Major Offensive, Says Eye-Witness By RICHARD D.lwcMILLAN WITH BRITISH FORCES AT THE EGYPTIAN FRONT, July 10. (Delayed) (U.R) British tanks, troops and guns, paced, by a powerful air attack, smashed into the Axis lines along the Mediterranean coast today in a limited five-mile drive that pushed along the desert railroad to Tel-El-Elsa. This attack did not mean a Dig action. The chief purpose is to improve the British coastal positions. It is to squeeze the enemy more tightly within the bulge which protrudes into British lines just south of El Alamein station Troops moved up the coastal road all night and attacked at 5 a.

m. Tel-El-Eisa fell at 6 a. m. after a whirlwind advance. By everything was buttoned up and the British were securely in possession of new posi- "iV was not very difficult fight- in?" in the words of a South African major beside whom I sprawled.in a concrete dugout In order to escape heavy shell fire and dive-bomber attacks.

The major added: "We held a position in our outposts between the road and railway. The attack- Ins-imperial troops went through us like a whirlwind when they got started. Now the enemy is showing bad temper by shelling us madly." The advance was preceded by a thorough shelling of enemy 1 lines. As I moved forward, I passed prisoners being marched back to a temporary prison camp on a white, sandy beach, The Allied air forces were battling furiously to aid the attack, striking at the enemy's front and rpar. (At Cairo it was announced that a record had been set for the number of sorties over the battle area by the RAF in the last 24 lours.) Axis air activity also Is much greater, with many more Italian fighter planes in the skies.

Burning Barley Field Charged Companions Testify Federal Employe Set Fire Just To See If It Would Burn "He tossed a match into the barley field on Cortaro Farms to see if it would burn. "When we were almost to Rillito we looked back and could see the field blazing," one of the witnesses told Justice of the Peace C. W. Gardner Friday at the preliminary hearing for Orville Nolan Thomas on a charge of arson. He was held to answer to superior court under $2,000 bond.

About 57 acres of barley land, valued at more than $1,500, were burned, others testified. Thomas, who is employed by the U. S. government to prospect for gravel deposits, along with two fellow workmen, Floyd Basham and Albert Bridges, were swimming in the irrigation ditch near Cortaro Farms June 11 when the Idea evidently took root. They got in their car and started to Rillito.

Companions Tell Story Thomas, who was rifling in the front seat, suddenly asked if the field would burn in case it was touched off with a match. One of his companions assured him it would. He threw the lighted match from the car. Not until they were some distance away did they discover the field was actually afire, both Bridges and Basham testified. Thomas maintained the two workmen were telling the tale to "get even" for having been fired by him about the time of the alleged arson.

Near 30,000 Yearly, General 'Arnold Says Petitions For Sheriff Filed By Ed Echols 1499 Voters Listed By Pima Law Enforcement Officer Asking Fourth Term Sheriff Ed, Echols early Saturday turned over to Gladstone MacKenzie, clerk of the Pima county board of supervisors, nominating petitions containing 1499 signatures of county voters.

MacKenzle said the absolute rp ucson church Women Take WORTH, Texas, July pilot training In the United States is approaching the 30,000 year rate, Lieut. Gen. Henry H.

Dickerson Synthetic Vitamin Found To Prevent Human Teeth Decay Police said "fightin' whiskey" was responsible for the plight of Dickerson, 2433 Estrella street. They said -he drove from North Stone and Mabel street to the city limits "at" more" than" 40 miles per' hour: They used all police paraphernalia to stop him--spot lights, red lights and sirens. He refused to leave the car. He' was forced out ana fought all-' the way to the station, where he was" booked for driving. a a he.

posted a $50 bond for appearance Monday, the record showed, It was -a hot chase while It lasted, Richard' J. Least city patrolman, reported. Although he picked up Dickerson on Stone avenue near Mabel the latter turned i Drachman and drove out that street at "top speed. Only after he reached the unpaved sec, tions outside the city limits was there a chance to catch up with Lease Everything TJsefl sirens spot lamp winked and the red police light shone squarely upon the Dickerson car without avail. When Lease finally did run Dickerson down, Dickerson refused to get-out -of the car.

Lease said it was necessary to use force. After he was pulled out Dickerson wanted to continue the battle but Lease called the station for help. "It wasn't safe to drive. to town alone with the man in the car even if he was "cuffed" Lease reported. Even after reinforcements arrived and Dickerson was put in the police car he still continued the battle of fists.

Fists continued to fly all the way into the station, police concluded. Mission Groups Hold Session minimum required on nominating petitions was 459 such signatures and then went on to give the general set up covering such matters. It seems each candidate with the exception of precinct officials must get nearly three per cent of the qualified voters in his area to sign such petitions. That three cent, in the case of a Democrat, is actually three per cent of the votes cast in the last election, for governor. That is the minimum.

Save Procedure If a person seeks nomination on the Republican ticket he must secure signatures amounting to three per cent of those who voted for a Republican for governor. The maximum is fixed for a very good reason, MacKenzie said. If a political office seeker gained as many signatures as he wished it might mean others would be. automatically disqualified, since voters in Arizona or In Fima county are not counted in such large numbers. One cannot sign two Democratic petitions for the same office.

On the other hand If they accepted petitions with signatures less than the minimum it might mean the man's name who was to run would be a poor, bet to place on the ballot.
