mUKESHA DAILY FREEMAN SUPPORTER OF WAUKESHA PROGRESS FOR NEARLY A CENTURY XXVI---NO. 86 WAUKESHA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 12, 1947 Ten Pages FIVE CENTS Republicans Endorse Glenn Davis Stop Electricity Part of Day for Britain's Homes LONDON, (UP)--The dimout of homes by limitation of the domestic use of electricity in Britain's gravest fuel crisis today encompassed all of and Wales. England, Scotland The fuel ministry announced that the restrictions on electricity consumption in the home were being extended from the originally affected industrial belt across Eng- 1v lel 1 land to the entire main island of Ko mmse11 Lincoln Talk Is Recalled on Birthday He was a freshman congressman and he was making his maiden speech in congress. His unruly hair fell on his forehead as he spoke. His clothes were ill-fitting.

But the tall, gaunt man displayed none of the shyness of a neophyte. He spoke like a born orator, holding the attention of all his colleagues, whether they were veteran members or newcomers the United Kingdom. The new emergency measure was imposed as 38 coal ships with 70,000 of coal left northeast ports for London. The army and navy had joined in the battle to clear the way for fuel and avert a breakdown of the British power system. The new shutdown order specified that homes be blacked out from 8:30 a.m.

to 11:30 a.m. and from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the newly affected areas. The hours remained the same--9 a.m.

to noon and 2 to 4 p.m.--in the original area comprising; a broad stiip across England from southeast to northwest. May Use Submarines A plan to bring submarines up the Thames and use their generators to augment the London electric supply was reported under consideration. A submarine generating plant can supply normal electii- cal requirements for 10,000 persons. The country was slipping into a worse situation despite the drastic electric power restrictions. Coal savings at the power plants yesterday were insufficient to build up reserve stocks.

Mining and shipment more coal was the key to the immediate crisis. The fuel crisis spread to Eire, which is dependent on coal supplies from England. In Dublin the government announced cancellation of all soft coal deliveries for domestic consumption. Available supplies will be used to keep essential services running. All newspapers reverted to their wartime size--four pages in most cases.

British Tell Failure in Arab-Jew Dispute LONDON, (UP)--Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin today admitted the failure of the London conference to settle the Palestine problem and said that Britain probably would have to submit the whole issue to the United Nations. Bevin made the statement at a meeting with delegates of the Arab states at which he told them that they seemed to be as far from a solution of Palestine problem as ever. i statement apparently marked an end to the effoits of the British to achieve a compromise (Turn to No. 1, Page 3) The problems of the nation lay heavy on the mind of the young man Who in just one month would observe his 39th birthday--99 years ago today. Rep.

Abraham Lincoln of Illinois arose to express himself on President James K. Polk and the administration's Mexican war policies. Noted Polk Omission He began by noting an omission in a recent statement by the ident. "My way of living leads me to be about the courts of justice," he said. "And there I have sometimes seen a good lawyer stiuggling for a client's neck in a desperate case, employing every artifice to work around, befog and cover up with many words some position pressed upon him by the prosecution which he dared not admit, and yet could not deny.

"Party bias may help to make it appear so; but, with all the allowance I ran make for just such, and from just such necessity, is the president's struggles in this case." Then he turned to another phase of the president's statement. "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better," Lincoln continued. "This is a most valuable, a most sacred right, a right which, we hope and believe, is to liberate the world." No Applause, No Interruption Minutes ticked by and the speaker still held his audience. There was no applause. Neither was there the usual interruption for questions.

The speaker reached his final words and he aimed them at the occupant of the White House. "As I have before said, he knows not where he is. He is a bewildered, confounded, and miserably- perplexed man. God grant he may be able to show there is not something about his conscience more painful than all his mental perplex- 3 Workers Hurt When Auto Hits Railway Scooter Three workers were hurt slightly when their railroad scooter was struck by an automobile Tuesday evening at a downtown crossing. Face cuts and bruises were suffered by Keith Anderson, 27, 125 South George Dahms, 55, 1106 Pewaukee road; and Mike Dresdow, 57, 502 Barney st.

All were treated at home. The scooter was going north on the Milwaukee road rails across Madisoji street when it was struck in the right side by a westbound car driven by Mrs. Gertrude Wilcox, 28, Pewaukee. The impact derailed the scooter and tipped it. Mrs.

Wilcox was unhurt. Police said the automatic blinker signals at the crossing were not operating when Mrs. Wilcox drove through. Anderson was piloting the scooter, with his fellow workers as passengers. Engine Hits Truck A Soo Line switch engine struck a small truck at 10 a.m.

today but the driver, Guy C. Harding, 55, 142 Randall st, escaped injury. Police said Harding drove through the warning signals at the E. Broadway crossing and his panel truck was hit in the left rear side by the engine, which was backing into the crossing. The impact pushed the truck against a telephone pole and ripped the back end off the cab.

Removing the Price Tag Elevating Council to Position of Honor, Privilege and Trust No. 9 Warmth Turns Snow to Slush Waukeshans enjoyed the warmest weather today since January 27 the mercury rose at 1 p.m. to 39 degrees and was expected to go even higher later in the afternoon. On the 27th the mercury rose to 44. Yesterday's maximum was 31 degrees here.

The piles of snow which have become familiar landmarks since the record storm here January 29 and 30, settled steadily today under the warmth of the sun. Water stood in the streets where catch-basins were covered with ice and snow. The work of snow clearance, made much easier by the weather, continued throughout the city and county. Occasional light snow was expected to fall in the southern and eastern portions of Wisconsin tomorrow. Light snow was also forecast for the western and central portions of the upper peninsula.

Temperatures were still chilly the northern section but far above the sub-zero levels the mercury dropped to last week-end. The coldest point in the state was at Land O'Lakes where the thermometers registered seven above last night. Temperatures tonight will fall back slightly to 20 in the northern areas and 25 a'oove in the south. The warmest temperature recorded yesterday was 33 above at LaCrosse and Park Falls. Rain and high wind lashed the Pacific coast states, and additional rain was forecast for Washington, Oregon, Northern California and western Farmers in the area said the rains would be beneficial to the crops and that they Having thus stated his position, Rep.

Abraham Lincoln sat down to let history record his words for that day, Jan. 12. 1848. Stassen to Deliver Speech in New York NEW YORK (U.R) Approximately 1,000 persons will hear former Gov. Harold E.

Stassen of Minnesota address the National Republican club's Lincoln day dinner at the Waldorf Astoria tonight, in spite of a boycott from some quarters. City Councilman Edward Rager, chairman of the club's dinner committee, seid attendance will not be affected materially although some Republicans had expressed discontent that Stassen, the only declared candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, was chosen as the principal speaker. A collision involving four automobiles and a truckload of fish sent Mrs. Minnie Parmalee, 49, Milwaukee, to the Waukesha Memorial hospital last night with severe face cuts. The accident occurred at the bottom of a hill on Highway 59, just southwest of the city limits.

Sheriff's deputies reconstructed the complicated accident like this: Ray C. Smith, 18, 248 Brook stalled his car just as he attempted to turn into the Smith driveway. Charles Parmalee, 49, and his wife stopped to push the Smith car. From the opposite direction, Darrell J. Warren, 19, AVaukesha route 1, stopped his westbound car and got out to help push the Smith car, which was partially in the.

highway and blocking traffic. A fourth car, whose driver was not identified, stopped about 60 feet behind Warren's automobile. Truck Strikes Anto Then came the eastbound tiuck, loaded with about 2,000 pounds of fish and going downhill at a good clip, heading straight toward the traffic tieup. Drvier Ray Mueller, 34, Milwaukee, said he was unable slippery. The truck smashed into the rear of Parmalee car, knocking the car and its two passengers off the road on the left side.

The impact only slowed the truck a little, and it bumped Warren's car, smashing the radiator and knocking it 60 feet back into the fourth waiting automobile. Finally the truck came to a stop, upright. Smith's ear--the one which sfart- ed all the ruckus by stalling--was untouched. IF the council-manager plan is adopted here April 1 the seven- I member council, elected at large and not by wards will serve without pay. What is the reason for cutting councilmen off without anything for their services? The state law says councilmen under the manager plan may receive a salary nut to exceed $200 a per month.

The present 15 aldermen receive $25 a month each for their a year. Such salaries as these are not, and never have been, a healthy factor in the quality of personnel attracted to the council. If the real facts are known, this little price tag placed upon council jobs has done more than any other single thing to tear down and unintentionally demoralize it. S3 Million More Asked in Record Budget for State MADISON, The biggest budget in Wisconsin history, calling for an expenditure of $112,329,011 during the next two years, was submitted to the legislature today by Gov. Walter S.

Good! and. This record breaking figure is $23,276,017 more than the 1945-47 budget for state operating expenses, which set the previous high. More than half of the increase recommended by the governor is due to a $7,044,764 boost in charit- Public service at the local, state and national level is an honor and a privilege--something that certainly cannot be bought at the rate of $6.00 a week. During the last war and World war I men served their nation in positions of great responsibility and trust. Tor what? The dollar a year they were paid? Waukeshans for many years have recognized the honor and the privilege it is for citizens to serve their community by offering responsible positions of great public trust to persons who have enough civic pride to fill them without a single cent of pay.

In local government it is not necessary to have a token payment of one dollar a year, or even a penny a year. No member of any board or commission in the ciiy of Waukesha is paid anything--none except the city council. But to its members we toss $25 a month. Why? Are members of the city council less public spirited, less willing to serve their community without pay than someone on the school board, the library board, the fire and police commission and others? The inference is there isn't it? The truth is that a good many people consistently refuse to serve on the council because of the $25! They resent having a price tag placed on what to them is an honor and a privilege! The council-manager plan, as it is set up for Waukesha to accept or reject, tears up the cheap price tag on a council seat and elevates it to a position of respect and trust, equal to that shared by the other posts of honor in the city government. What's wrong with paying councilmen more--say $100 or even $200 a month? In fairness to others in policy-making capacities they should be paid the same as councilmen, if councilmen are to be paid.

There are some 70 persons here serving on city boards and commissions. To pay all of them what their services are actually worth to the cit would be a great expense, running into marry to stop because the highway was thousands of dollars annually. Besides, it has always been regarded as an unnecessary public expense because people in all walks of life are anxious and willing to do valuable public service for their communities. This fact has long been recognized. The University of Wisconsin board of regents serves without pay; the board of visitors receives no pay.

Draft boards, community chest boards, YMCA boards and a hundred others work willingly without pay. The one glaring exception in Waukesha is the city council. Why does it need to be? TOMORROW: What Happens to Jobs? Proposes Vet Bonus, Payable in 9 Years MADISON, (U.R)--The 1947 legislature got its first World war It veterans' bonus bill late yesterday when Assemblyman Richard Steffens, Menasha, introduced a measure to establish an $80,000,000 fund for distribution to state veterans in 1950. The bill submitted by Steffens, a University of Wisconsin law school student and World war II veteran, asks for a 10-year, 60 percent state surtax on incomes to finance the bonus. Steffens said slate tax officials Waukesha County Man Wins on First Convention Ballot Is Endorsed estimated the average revenue from such a tax would be about $8,000,000 a year.

He added that a 1956 nonus would be superior to an immediate grant because "most of the boys will need it more then and it'll last longer." had nothing winds. to fear from the PRINCESS AWAITS STORK THE HAGUE, (UP) Princess Juliana is expecting her fourth child and the Dutch nation wonders if the new arrival will be a boy--the first in two generations of the ruling family.

Caldwell Quits City Council Office The Freeman erroneously reported yesterday that Alderman C. J. Caldwell is a candidate for reelection in the eighth ward. Although nomination papers were drawn for the veteran council member, they were not filed with the city clerk before Monday's deadline. a will terminate 10 straight years on the council this spring.

Now chairman of the sanitation committee and a member cf the board of health, Caldwell formerly served on the ordinance committee and headed the council's fire and police committee. He declined to run this year because Tuesday night sessions are "too tiring," he said. The unopposed eighth ward candidate is Vincent R. Matthews, 612 Oakland Leaps to Safety When Car Dives into River Willard Bunker, 916 S. Grand leaped to safety seconds before his automobile slid down an embankment and into Fox river early this afternoon.

Bunker, an electrician, was backing his car preparatory to parking it at the Bordon Milk where he was doing some repair work. As he slowly backed into position, he set his brakes only to find that the car had struck a slight ditch which was filled with wet snow and ice. Feeling the car continue to slide backward, Bunker opened his door and leaped to safety just as the automobile rolled over the embankment and into the river. The cr remained upright, wAh the rear end submerged in the water. In jumping to safety, Bunker suffered a few abrasions to his face when he struck a telephone pole nearby.

Several men this afternoon were attempting to pull the car from the Fox river with the use of a wrecker. Weber Buys Beer Depot Plans to Erect Second Building Purchase of a two-story brick building on West Main st, and five lots for an undisclosed amount, and plans to ultimately erect a new office building on one of the lots, was announced today by Paul (Biff) Weber of 308 Windsor drive. The sale was made by Herman Reinke, who has been living- at West Main the deal including all of his real estate holdings in that vicinity. The building houses Herman's beer depot on the main floor, while Reinke occupied an apartment on the second floor. Reinke has not announced his future plans, but is considering a va- catiorf trip to California.

Weber announced that he will continue operation of the beer depot, with David Gunther being ap- pointed as manager of the business. He will handle all popular brands of beer, soda, wines and liquors. Gunther will occupy the apartment on the second floor after the Reinkes leave. At some time in the near future, when building materials become available, Weber plans to erect a new office building and display room on the Main lot adjoining the beer depot. The new building will be occupied by the Waukesha Natural Gas now located at 221 North and which is owned and managed by Weber.

He also is interested in the Weber brewery. Two of the lots involved in the transaction are on Main while the other three are along the Fox river Shovel That Snow, Is Police Demand "That snow fell two weeks ago, and the day of narrow paths is over. It's about time that people shovelled their sidewalks, and this means the entire walk and not just a narrow lane through the snow." This statement came as an urgent request today from Police Chief Harold T. Owens. The snow has thawed and he wants all sidewalks cleared because the narrow lanes winding through the snow banks make walking hazardous.

Also invited to take a little back exercise were car owners whose vehicles have been stalled at curbs since the Jan. 29-30 blizzard. Owens reminded them there is a city ordinance against parking on the streets for more than 24 successive hours, and urged them to shovel the cars out of the banks. A similar plea came from City Engineer Walter Dick, who announced that street widening was resumed today. Snow banks will be pushed outward on about one- third of the streets--those where narrow lanes make driving hazardous.

The widening program was interrupted when the cold wave froze the banks solid. If warm weather continues, street widening will continue the next few days, he said. "Dick and members of his department were making a survey today to determine which streets deserve a priority on widening.

The governor's budget bill, introduced in the assembly, covers only operating expenses of state departments and agencies and state aids to counties and municipalities. It provides nothing for new state building.

It also contains no funds for continuing two $10-a-month cost-of-living bonuses granted state workers in the last year. Higher Taxes Seen Goodland did not recommend any tax boosts today, but his figures made new or higher taxes appear certain. He estimated the state general fund's income at $90,848,573 for 1947-49, or $21,480,438 less than his proposed expenditures. The general fund's estimated surplus at the end of this fiscal year will be only $16,459,356, leaving deficit of $5,021,082 under the governor's budget. Big as the governor's 1947-49 budget is, the expenditures he recommended are much less than state departments requested.

sought a total of $169,000,000. Goodland eliminated the $41,500,000 they asked for new buildings and cut their operating expenses $20,000,000. But he added $5,000,000 for veterans' benefits. Goodland admitted that he was asking for a large increase in state spending, but said the boost was "justifiable" and avoided frills." His recommendations made these major points: Pensions A $7,044,864 increase in charitable and pension aids. Goodland granted in full the welfare department's request for more money for aids because of the higher cost of living and growing number of pensioners.

Total pension allotment $28,301,000. Educational Aids Total allotment, $20,711,000, an increase of $464,000 over 1945-47, but more than $10,000,000 less than the department of public instruction asked for. The increase includes an extra $200,000 for transportation aids and smaller increases for special classes. Goodland cut elementary aids $150,000 and left high school aids unchanged. University of Wisconsin $17,236,100, an increase of $4,203,075.

(Turn to No. 2, Pago 3) Stokes Fire with Cottage Furnishings; Youth Seized Although he is warm in the county jail today, young Richard Parzyck remembers the sub-zero wave which followed the big blizzard. The 19-year-old Duluth, youth had been visiting with his aunt in Muskego but they didn't see eye to eye on his behavior, so Parzyck was ordered to leave. That was Thursday, Jan. 30, the day after the big snow, and Parzyck was hard pressed for shelter.

A nearby Muskego lake cottage, owned by Milwaukeean Michael Birschbach, was unoccupied so Parzyck took the housing shortage in his own hands and entered by a kitchen window. With a few blankets, the youth made himself comfortable on the sofa and wajted for the thaw. In the meantime, a little fire was needed, so the unmechanically minded youth started the oil burner, stuffing it with pajamas, pillows and linens. He managed to keep warm but the smoke aroused the suspicions of neighbors, who notified the owner last Thursday. Eithr.r because he ran out of fuel or because he feared detection, Parzyck left his hideout when the weather eased.

In his hurry, he left his spectacles in the cabin. This gave sheriff's deputies one of the two clues which led to Parzyck's arrest. With $60 in his pocket, the youth went car shopping in Milwaukee Monday. He found one priced at $175. which the dealer was willing to release for $85 down payment.

Handing him $60, Parzyck said, "Let me drive it around the block for a trial." He drove it around the block, alright, but never came back. Authorities were notified that the car was stolen and it was seen in the Muskego area. Deputy Jim Doherty got on the trail and yesterday caught up with Parzyck. He admitted the car deal, and when confronted with his spectacles, also admitted occupying Birschbach's cottage for seven days. He was "invited" to spend the night in the county jail, pending a checkup on his activities at Duluth.

Undersheriff Theodore C. Steffan said the youth was charged with breaking and entering but probably would be lurned over to Duluth authorities, where he is believed to be on probation. Atty. Glenn B. Davis Laughlin, Early Builder, Is Dead Edward J.

Laughlin, 84, early contractor who erected many of Waukesha's most important buildings, died Tuesday in the Memorial hospital. His wife, the former Christine Hanson, preceded him in death in 1934. Among Laughlin's works here was the building of what is now the Union school and was until 1921 the Waukesha high school. He also constructed the Waukesba county home, the Ovitt and Columbia blocks, the Hartwell fire station, the city library, remodeled Resthaven and erected many local residences and smaller business buildings. He was associated for many years with George L.

Dwinnell, under the name of Dwinnell and Laughlin. Laughlin was one o-f Waukesha's pioneers, having been born in an early Waukesha home on a three- acre tract southeast of park, which is now a residential section. His father was a mason and a leading Democrat of the city, a former deputy sheriff and a member of the local Elk's lodge. One Daughter Survives Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Weber of Milwaukee; one sister, Mrs.

Charles Richaids of Waukssha and two nieces and a nephew. Funeral services will be held Friday at 9 a. m. from St. Joseph's Catholic church.

Interment will be in the Prairie Home cemetery. Members of the Waukesha Elks' lodge will meet at the club at 7:15 p. m. Thursday to go in a body to Arthur D. Caspar funeral home to pay respects to their departed Drother.

A parish vigil will be held at the funeral at 8 p. m. Thursday. Pall bearers will include Paul Tichenor, John St. George, William Garlow, Philip Herbrand, Charles Schuetze and Charles Kendall.

All are members of the local Elk's lodge. Swanton, Bogue Quit Race, Offer Support; Lowe, Sauthoff Stay By Jack Cory Carrying four out of five counties, and second choice in that fifth county, Atty. Glenn R. Davis last night was endorsed by the Republicans of the Second district as their candidate for congress in the special primary April 1. So conclusive was the Davis victory at the Watertown district convention that his two leading opponents for the Republican endorsement, Atty.

David Bogue of Portage and Milo K. Swanton of Madison, immediately withdrew their can-' didacies and announced they would work for the nomination and election of Davis. It was an endorsement that meant something, for it came with such widespread approval from the Republicans of the district. Two other candidates for the Republican nomination, Alfred N. Lowe of Madison, and ex-Progressive Rep.

Harry Sauthoff of son, will remain in the race and battle it out with Davis for tlje OP nomination April 1 that is tantamount to election to Washington. Only One Ballot Taken Only one informal vote was nep- essary to decide the issue, after delegates had spent the day in discussion and oratry. It took 149 votes to endorse, and Davis rolled up 172 on the first informal ballot. With the issue clearly decided, Chairman R. H.

lurwachter of the Waukesha delegation moved that the rules be suspended, Jefferson and Dane counties seconded his motion, and with enthusiastic shouts that ranged from feminine screams to a rebel yell, the delegates named Davis their candidate. Good sportsmen to the last, Bogue and Swanton immediately took the floor to endorse Davis and withdraw their candidacies. The lone and deciding ballot had stood: Columbia Dane BogTie Swanton Davis 30 19 38 57 Dodge 18 1 24 Jefferson 7 12 39 Waukesha 73 Totals 74 51 172 State GOP Chairman Thomas E. Coleman then called leaders of the five county organizations together for a meeting with officers of the Davis-for-Congress club, and tentative to line up the Republican vote of the entire district for county's favorite son were launched. There will be no neutrality from here on.

The Republican party is united behind its one endorsed candidate and all the artillery of the national and state party will be unlimbered to thunder in behalf ot Davis. And financial aid something the Davis forces have lacked so far will oe forthcoming to couple with the enthusiastic volunteer help that so far has carried on the Davis drive. Had Voted to Endorse Despite Lowe's speech to the convention in opposition to endorsement of a candidate, the Watertown meeting was in a definite mood to endorse a candidate, and Chairman Coleman told them that "despite what any of our opponents may say, as Republicans we have a perfect right to state our choice and concentrate our forces behind one candidate." The rules committee reported a recommendation for endorsement, and it a through without an opposing vote from the delegation. Then came the calling of the roll of counties, and Columbia, first to be called, presented IJogue's name in a 10-minute address tfy Atty.

The room was eing re-decorated, but a painter's rag was properly spread out on the loor and Rich ruled out the possi- )ility of spontaneous combustion. The fire was under control when a city fire crew answered the call. A chimney fire was checked at 8:45 today at the James Hannon home, 821 Barstow st.
