Wilson and Ferguson told the officers they had "almost decided" to surrender themselves so they could food and warmth. They were brought to the East Lansing State Police. post where they were questioned briefly and then taken to the mess hall where they were given a breakfast. The suspects said they had been without food for two days and had been eating snow as a substitute for water. Troopers began questioning the pair after they had eaten.

State police revealed Ferguson had made several telephone calls to the home of a friend here during day Tuesday. Each time he called he asked what had happened to his brother George. State police troopers surprised the burglars shortly after midnight Monday as they were driving away from the store and fired several times at the car and hitting it three times. Mrs. Norman Ellis, wife of the store proprietor, has tentatively identified the photographs of the Ferguson brothers as the same men who came to the store Monday night to make a purchase.

Mr. Ellis revealed a pet cocker spaniel, left to guard the store Monday night, was missing following the burglary. He said the dog was missing until Tuesday night when it came limping to his home at 240 Cowley East Lansing, about a mile from the store. The groceryman had searched the area throughout the day and believed the dog had been killed by the burglars. The car used in the escape of the looters was abandoned in East Lansing.

It contained over $600 worth of liquor and cartons of cigarets taken from the store. The vehicle is registered in George Ferguson's name, police said.

Milk Firms Face Probe Attorney General Frank Millard said Wednesday an investigation is underway into a reported monopoly on milk delivery routes in Detroit. "It complaints prove true," Millard said, "there may be violations of the free trade law by the dairies or the unions, or both." The attorney general said he had a report that Detroit area milk deliverymen, under penalty of union reprisal, may not sell to customers of a rival dairy or deliveryman. A companion complaint, Millard added, is that milkmen may not make home deliveries in containers larger than one quart- -also supposedly a union rule to maintain regular delivery schedules.

Dairy and union spokesmen denied any monopoly exists. Charles M. A. Martin, chief of Millard's Detroit office, was assigned to investigate. The attorney general said a Huntington Woods man complained that a milkman told him he would be liable to a $25 fine by his union for the first offense of leaving milk at the home of another's customer, $50 for the second offense, and lose his union card for a third offense.

The engineer said he wanted to get milk from one deliveryman one day and another milkman the next day because he has a small refrigerator and his dairyman delivers only once in two days. Milkmen in the Detroit area belong to either the A. F. of L. Milk Drivers and Dairy Employes union or to the C.

The operator of the Detroit games then raised the question as to why similar games were allowed to run in other sections of the state.

This brought an order from Frank G. Millard, attorney general, that county officials close all types of lotteries other games of chance being operated in violation of the constitution.

A said it was "only natural" to lodge a representation. Japanese officials say they will ask compensation for the victims. In Washington, Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R-NY), chairman of the senate-house atomic energy committee, said it was possible the fishermen were spying but said he has no official report.

"We don't know whether the fishermen were in the area deliberately or accidentally," he said. PULVERIZED CORAL One nuclear specialist, Prof. Mitsuo Takeya of Rikkyo university, said he belleves the blast may have been a "hydrogen caliber bomb," basing his theory on the belief a regular atomic bomb could not have hurled the radioactive debris 80 miles. He said the ashes were pulverized coral. The United States has said only that the March 1 explosion was an "atomic device." In 1952, it said a blast which destroyed a coral island was a "thermonuclear device" a hydrogen explosion.

Doctors treating the stricken crewmen hoped to find out the blast within a week. Physicians said earlier that effects of the blast on the victims indicate a much more intense and deadly explosion than the first atomic bombs exploded at the end Il. Meanwhile," Dr. Michihiko Haan expert on atomic ailthents, said he doubted if any serious physical effects would be felt by persons eating radiation-con- Hydrogen Bomb Now Deliverable WASHINGTON, March 11- (INS) -The United States possesses today a hydrogen bomb which can be delivered to any part of the world. Chairman W.

Sterling Cole (R- NY) of the congressional atomic committee said: "A fair assumption is that Russia does have an H-bomb" too. Cole's statement was the first official confirmation that the United States has a deliverable H-bomb. The disclosure came as hydrogen weapons tests reportedly were under way at the Eniwetok atomic proving grounds in the Pacific. Cole said that this country does not have planes capable of carrying weapons around the globe non-stop, but added: "We have planes that can carry any weapon to any part of the taminated fish which reached the market from the fishboat. Most of the catch was buried but a few hundred pounds are believed to have been eaten.

RESTRICTED ZONE The maritime safety board ordered all Japanese fishboats in the atomic test area to stay at least 50 miles from the edges of the stricted zone, which is about 150 miles north and south and more than 200 miles east and west. The 100-ton Fukuryu Maru (Lucky Dragon) was cruising in the Bikini region March 1 when crewmen saw a blinding orange-red flash about 3 a. m.

They said they heard the blast about seven minutes later, indicating they were about 80 miles from the explosion's center. About hours later, a shower of white ash drifted down on the boat for about two hours. Three days later the boat sped toward home when the exposed skin areas of the crewmen began' to blister and blacken. ices in order to become healthy, happy adults, and "Whereas we can each have share in helping crippled children by giving generously to the 1954 Easter Seal Sale on the Ingham County society.

'EVERY EFFORT' "Also, under the law the state questions but apparently the governor has some new questions. "It must be remembered that our projects on the Ford expressway were being pushed by Detroit, Wayne county, and everybody and under emergencies there always is a tendency to pay more for prop- projects." NEGOTIATED PURCHASES highway department is required to make every effort to come to an understanding with property owners. There were many homes along the Ford highway and to get negotiated agreements in such cases costs more. "Furthermore, we probably negotiated some higher amounts in order not to hold up the contractors. Delaying a contractor is expensive than paying a little more for the property." Ziegler said that as he recalled the figures Wayne county's acquisittons included 46 percent demnations while the highway department had only 12 percent condemnations.

Williams demanded an explanation "of the questions raised by this report." He said the report showed the state acquired 1,999 parcels of land for the Ford expressway, paying $23,261,000 for land appraised at $22,023,000. At the same time, he said, the county road commission acquired 1,767 parcels for the Lodge pressway, paying $26,512,000 for land appraised at $26,854,000. INTERCHANGE AREA The contrast between the state and county operations, Williams said, is best shown in land purchases for the interchange area between the two expressways. Here the two agencies were buying in the same area under identical conditions, Williams said. "Yet the report shows that the county road commission, out of 260 negotiated purchases in the interchange area, paid in excess of the highest appraisal in only one Williams said.

"On the same project, the state highway department negotiated 81 purchases and paid more than the highest appraisal in 38 cases." Williams said- "this contrast is particularly puzzling in view of the fact that the state highway department operates under a much stronger condemnation law than the county uses. The difference could hardly be in the appraisals, because I understand both the state and the county used independent appraisers who presumably used the same yardstick for both The governor declared the port showed that the purchases made by the state in excess of the appraisals were mainly on gotiated purchases, not on condemnation awards. On the Ford expressway the highway department negotiated purchases of 1,783 parcels, Williams said. Of these 939 were bought at higher than the appraised price and on 255 the price was 10 percent or more above the appraisal figure. On the expressway, he said, the negotiated the sale of 869 parcels out of 1,787.

Only four cost more than the apcess was less than one dollar, he praisals and in two of the these the exsaid. Williams said net percentage of cost paid on the Ford expressway by the highway department in excess of appraisals was 5.62 percent while the county purchases were 1.29 percent below the appraisals.

(State Journal Photo) with the judiciary committee in drawing up amendments to restrict solely to bingo. Sen. Carlton Morris (R-Kalamahe thought it would be "practicalzoo), siding with Hutchinson, said ly impossible to restrict it to bingo and not open it up to other gambling." Sen. Donald W. Gilbert (R-Saginaw) also supported the motion to recommit, arguing that "anything that weakens the law on gambling makes it that much harder to enforce anti-gambling laws." The state supreme court has ruled bingo a lottery and lotteries are specifically forbidden under the constitution.

Andrews' resolution proposed taking "charity" bingo out of the category of a lottery. There is still a possibility, however, that the issue may be submitted to the voters in the November election. The Michigan Association of Non-Profit Charitable Organizations is conducting a campaign to place the question on the ballot by initiatory petition. It already has obtained some 100,000 of the 000 signatures required and has until July 2 to file the petition with the secretary of state. The crackdown on bingo, which 113 S.

Edward Hutchinson (R-Fennville). The resolution, he said, was restricted to bingo but would cover "all types of lotteries, perhaps even slot machines, if operated by a non-profit charitable organization." He said it would be up to the legislature to define "non-profit charitable" organizations and expressed fear that future legislatures would be subject to "pressure to keep opening the thing up and we might wind up with lezalized gambling. "I believe we would be making a mistake to submit this to the people because they have been led to believe it refers only to bingo, but actually it is much broader than than." He then moved to send the resolution back to committee. Opposing Hutchinson's motion, Andrews said he believed the Fennville senator was "unduly worried" about future legislatures. "I am sure it would not be broadened to include anything else," Andrews said.
