FRIDAY, MAY 3, 194a THE PORT HURON TIMES HERALD PACE TWENTY MARKETS and FINANCIAi RIVER AND THUMB DISTRICT NEWS Stocks Unsteady With Warlf IN Former Resident Of Marine City Dies In Detroit Marine City, May 3 Mrs! Mary lMews Leading influent ARE ANNOUNCED CHRYSLER EARNS A RECORD FIRST QUARTER PROFIT New York, May 3 Chrysler Corporation Thursday reported for the March quarter net profit of equal after charges and federal income tax to $3.62 a share. This was the largest net profit ever reported by the company in the first quarter and compared with $11,638,290 or $2.67 a share in the comparable 1939 quarter. Directors declared a dividend of $1.25 a share on the common stock, payable June 12 to holders of record May 15. A similar payment was made in March, this year. K.

T. Keller, president, reported that in addition to record earnings in the first quarter, the corporation exceeded all previous volume of sales for that period. "Automobile business is continuing at a high level of activity," he said, "although the usual seasonal recession from the spring peak normally is to be expected shortly." He said Chrysler corporation had received from the war department diversified "educational" orders for ordnance such as bomb fuses, shells and cartridge cases and a special department for handling this character of business has been organized. In addition to ordnance, a very "substantial" military truck business has been developed, he said, and some 7.000 vehicles made by the corporation are now taking part in army maneuvers in the South. KILLER 'SINGS' BEFORE DYING Shot Escaping From Train, Tells Of Killing 3 Police New York, May 3 AP Norman (The Duke) Brooklyn hoodlum, finally "sang" but he did it the hard way.

He erased a page in New York's record of unsolved crimes as he gasped out the details of the 1934 slayings of policemen, just before he died Thursday with five police pistol slugs in his body. That was the story authorities wanted him to "sing" the reason he was being brought from Auburn prison to New York by train Wednesday night. To avoid telling the story, Zeff fled the train at Yonkers, but was brought down by sharp-shooting detectives. From dawn until late afternoon Thursday, Zeff told his story piecemeal, as his weakening condition permitted. Assistant District Attorney Jacob Rosenblum said the gangster's deathbed "song" had solved the separate killings of Detective James Garvey and Patrolmen John Mona-han and Philip Clarius, all shot down in Brooklyn.

Rosenblum said that on the basis of Zeff's story an attempt might be made to send to the electric chair a former Zeff associate, Joseph Son-sky who now is serving a 20 years-to-life sentence for the shooting of Monahan. Zeff, according to Rosenblum, acknowledged shooting Garvey and Clarius, but blamed Sonsky for the Monahan death and said Sonsky was present at the other slayings.

CON I From Page One LJ tradicted himself when he replied, "I suppose in answer to a direct question by Judge Telfer as to whether he would fight for the United States if ordered to do so, failed to convince the judge as to his sincerity when he attempted to explain his religious belief on the subject of bearing arms. "What do you teach your chil dren?" Judge Telfer asked.

"Do you tell them it is wrong to bear arms for your country?" Cassell replied, "Well, not yet." Judge Telfer then admonished Cassell that there is no halfway proposition to citizenship. "Unless you subscribe fully to the oath of allegiance, without reservations, and that means swear you are willing to take up arms in defense of this country if ordered to do so, you cannot become a citizen." "Well, if I am not a citizen, then what am Cassell asked. "You are not a citizen in other words you are still a citizen of Canada," Judge Telfer replied. Examiner Hart said he would recommend the application of Cassell be continued, rather than dis missed, and Judge Telfer concurred, advising Cassell to think things over and make up his mind on the matter of defending the United States, if he should be granted citizenship, also to study the Constitution and American system of government, pending re examination next year. At the close of the hearing, Judge Telfer explained "any citizen of the United States, under the guarantees of the Constitution, has a right to worship God as he sees fit, and a member of any sect or faith opposed to war has a right to object to bearing arms.

These rights have been upheld by the courts and were recognized by the government in the World war. "But when any ailen makes application for citizenship he comes under a different category and must take an oath to bear arms in defense of the country without any reservations, if called on to do so. Therefore, a conscientious objector, who is a citizen of another country, cannot become an American citizen. The application of Mrs. Mary Henshaw.

608 Willow street, was continued when she failed to give correct answers to questions pertaining to the federal and state governments. The application of Panagiotis George Maniatis, who seeks to change his name to Peter Manis, also was continued until he furnishes information concerning the support of his wife and children in Greece, The application of Christian Pickelhaupt, 1321 Francis street, was continued until information concerning the certificate of his arrival in the United States from Russia can be furnished by immigration officials.

The swastika was unfurled unchallenged in town after town, while the Nazi troops expected only limited resistance from scattered Norwegian troops still entrenched or in action. The Germans now have complete control of Trondheim and two of Norway's chief west coast ports, and thus have attained their goal of establishing bases in the north Atlantic. However these were won only at the price of heavy sacrifices in the German naval forces, for which these bases might have been valuable.

Germany Claims Ships Sunk Withdrawal from the Namsos sector would leave besieged German-held Narvik in the far north the only point in Norway menaced by Allied troops. The British air force continued its hammering at German bases in Denmark and Norway.
