Ex-German Publisher Herman Ullstein, Dies NEW YORK (U.R) Funeral services will be held today for Herman Ullstein, 68, former partner in the Ullstein one of the world's largest producers of magazines, books, and periodicals until confiscated in 1933 by the Nazis, who died in his New York home Tuesday.

He was personally responsible for Berliner Illustrirter Zeitung, one of Germany's leading magazines with a circulation of 2,000,000. One of the company's daily newspapers, the Berliner Morgcn-post, had the largest circulation in the Reich, 600,000 daily. Martin to Oppose Diversion Bill in Capitol Atty. Gen. John E.

Martin announced today that he will go to Washington next week to urge opposition of the pending Sabath bill to increase the diversion of Lake Michigan waters through the Chicago drainage canal. Martin said he planned to ask Wisconsin's congressmen to oppose the bill when it comes up for voting in the house. The price of two $100 War Bonds pays for an Army squad tent. I they believed the controversial bill should be opened for rehear ing. Most of the reasons centered around the question of whether Assemblyman Ernest Heden (R-Ogema) was present or absent when the assembly overrode the governor's veto of the bill which requires the supreme court to organize a state, bar association and require all Wisconsin attorneys to join.

The supreme court decision held that Heden was presumed absent because he did not vote on the bill. Today's motion said that the court "erred in holding by presumption that Heden was absent when his presence was affirmatively established." It added that the court "failed to give effect to the rule that a vote of two-thirds of the members present must affirmatively "appear" in the journal and thus the court "erred" in not holding that the bill "failed passage over the governor's veto." The motion charged that the supreme court's "delay" in acting on the bill was "unjustified" because it denied the governor the "opportunity to seek review in the United States supreme court." Funds Allotted for Mail Help Postoffice Here to Get $13,762 The postoffice department announced in Washington today that $13,762 has been allotted to the Madison postoffice for extra help during the Christmas holidays to handle mail expected to be heavier than that of last year when the allotment was $5,032.95. Announcing that Postmaster W. J. Hyland has been instructed to give veterans employment preference, the department explained that many postoffices are employing high school boys and girls because of difficulty in finding extra workers.

Hyland said today that applications for Christmas season clerical and carrier jobs, light until this week, have picked up and now total about 140. The post-office will need 170. Plenty of young people are available, Hyland reported, but more older men are desired, because most of the young applicants can work only part time and are not physically able to stand the rigors of night duty.

Reis ruled today in a $2,482 suit of Dane county against Henry Wiessinger, a relief client with his wife in 1933 and 1935. Basing his decision on the common law, Reis said: "It always has been the responsibility of a husband and we hope it always will be to support his wife properly." Wiessinger, who came into an inheritance estimated at between $6,000 and $10,000 in 1941 also obtained old age assistance for himself and wife from Jan. 1, 1936, to Oct. 31, 1941. Mrs.

Wiessinger has since died. Wiessinger demurred to the county's suit, and Reis upheld him on the causes of action concerning the old age assistance. "Old age assistance. 100 per cent a child of statute," Reis said, pointing out that the statutes force collection of grants from the estate of a person after his death. No question exists that Wiessinger himself can be sued for collection of relief granted him, Reise said, the issue in the county's case being the amount.

Wiessinger's counsel admitted that, under common law, it is a man's duty support his wife but that "no obligation at com mon law" exists "for a county to support anyone." That obligation was created by statute, it was alleged. "To be sure, public relief laws are statutes, not common law, but they do not abolish the common law. doctrine of 'family in our judgment," Reis said.

Parking Sites' Options Sought Committee to Ask Purchase by Council The common council municipal service and safety committee instructed City Atty. Harold E. Hanson to seek options on two proposed off-street parking sites Tuesday night after voting to refer a recommendation for their immediate purchase to the council as a committee of the whole.

The recommendation was presented by the special transportation and traffic committee after consulting with a special parking committee of the Madison Business assn. The two proposed areas include the north half of the "Buick garage" block between N. Fairchild, N. Henry, and W. Mifflin and all the "Fess hotel" block, except the Endres and Tiedeman filling station, between Doty, Pinck-ney and E.

Wilson sts. They have a combined assessed valuation of $259,608. The second site, as finally recommended, involves acquisiiton of the Fess hotel and the American Legion club, although the original proposal of the business men's committee excluded them. Inclusion of the hotel and Legion club properties would bring the assessed value of the second proposed site from $48,275 to 5114,141. The Fairchild st.

site is valued at $125,475. 'Sunk' Ships Blaze at Nips in Pacific ABOARD U. S.

Samuel Parr Delatour NEW YORK (U.R) Samuel Parr Delatour, 95, pioneer Nebraska cattleman, died here Tuesday after a short illness. Delatour, who owned the OT bar ranch at sumption than any other private source, said the shortage could be laid to the public, which with more money to spend is drinking up supplies faster than the government anticipated. "The idea that liquor is being hoarded for speculative purposes is absurd," Mrs. Smith said. "Liquor has not been produced for over a year, and the people, having more money are drinking more.

"The liquor companies can see when their supplies will be exhausted and are limiting sales in order to keep their trade names before the public as long as possible." Mrs. Smith said Increased drinking also was caused by accessibility and social pressure. "I mean by accessibility that It is deplorable that saloons should be so close to army camps. By social pressure I mean that as the number of people who drink increases the more there are to persuade others to drink. "I have no statistics on the subject, but I know there is plenty of liquor in government bonded warehouses," she said.
