Announcement was made today that City Treasurer Boschert will keep his City Hall office open until 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Following that, car owners will have until 0 p. m.

to secure licenses at Ihe police The office of City Treasurer Boschert now closes, under the regular routine, at noon on Sat- in-day as do all City Hall offices, i Monday will he a city holiday be- of the Memorial observance and ail city offices will be cloned. In this situation, Police Chief Smith decided that some special arrangements ought to be set up that delinquent motorists may have a final opportunity to get licenses before (he June 1 dend- line act by the police department. View of Police. Chief Chief Smith look the view that many employed car owners would not be working Saturday afternoon and that it might be their only opportunity of the week to get their stickers. One of the first things he did today was to confer with City Treasurer Boschert in the matter.

Boschert expressed his desire to cooperate by some special accommodations for the public before the police prosecutions are started. It then was arranged that Treasurer Boschert will keep his office open Saturday afternoon until 5, and that late applicants then might be served at the police station. The treasurer emphasized, however, that Saturday afternoon and evening service will not be made a regular thing. The Saturday afternoon closing rule in to bo waived tomorrow only because of the Imminence of the police campaign. Licenses were issued Thursday at the of City Treasurer Boschert at a rnte of one every two minutes.

The rush was continuing today at an apparently accelerated pace. But at 8 only 2078 for 1937 had been issued out of an expected total of 6000 for the year, and it appeared the June 1 deadline, set by the police department, will find several thousand Alton car owners still without stickers. "Riliicntlorml OtinpulKit" Chief Smith said today that the "educational campaign" by the police department is being continued, and that patrolmen will be stationed at main street intersections again tonight to stop cars bearing no 1937 city licenses, and warn drivers that they miiy have them by Tuesday. Police Chief Smith has taken the view that It should not be necessary for the police department to take patrolmen from regular duties ench year for a series of drives to get in the city automobile licenses Car owners know the licenses become due. as of April 1, and he is seeking to get away from the old plan of a long series of warning drives by policemen.

With auto licenses only 52.50, he feels two months Is a sufficient grace period for all motorists to provide (heir cars with stickers. Accordingly he has set the 1 deadline for prosecutions this year, and has limited the police warnings to a few days prior to the. deadline. Next year, he hopes the "educational activities" will not be needed.

Then tha police will be testing the qualifications of applicants for licenses." The civil service bill was May 4.

Radio Acts Up; Puzzles Soviet Polar Flyers MOSCOW, May 28, Queer behavior or radio waves at the earth's axis puzzled Soviet Russia's north pole air lane explorer! today.

P. Maruruk, 25 to 35 miles away.

King George VI conferred on Baldwin the highest chlva'ric distinction within the gift of the knighthood of the garter after the smoothly-rnan-' aged switch of governments.

Chamberlain quickly reorganized A he cabinet, to fill vacancies creat- ed by Baldwin's resignation, the levatlon of Walter Runciman, rstwhlle president of the Board ol Trade, to the peerage, and the advancement of Baldwin ministers tc higher posts.
