Levy Takes Effect Wednesday Pending full clarification from Washington on how the new 10 per cent Federal excise tax will apply to articles sold in the stores, the Detroit Retail Merchants Association Saturday announced a tentative program for the collections which will start next Wednesday when the tax becomes effective. The plan has been adopted on a citywide scale, subject to later Governmental regulations.

Coat Purchasers Warned A warning also was issued to thousands of women who have placed fur coats in the lay-away departments that unless the garments are removed by Wednesday they will be subject to the full tax. Under the regulations, it was said, the full tax will have to be charged against coats taken out after Wednesday regardless of how much money has been paid toward the full price. While several phases of the tax law still are debatable and the tax collections will have to be started under self-made interpretation un til the Treasury Department issues full instructions, the merchants' association said that these rules would apply here until the complete rules are issued Oct. 15: Articles purchased before Oct. 1 and returned to the store later for a different article will be subject to the full amount of the tax on the second article.

Tax on Full Price Fur-trimmed coats, unless the fur is a relatively small part of the garment's value, will be taxed for the full price of the purchase. When exchanges are necessitated by the fault of the store on articles bought before Oct. 1 the store will be subject to the tax payment on the second transaction. On installment purchases, the store will add the full amount of the tax and rate it over all the payments. Handbags with clasps of pre cious metals will be taxed on the full cost of the bag.

However, when initials of precious metals are to be attached to the bag, only tne initials will be taxed. Mounting Taxable Pearls or diamonds are not taxed but when set in gold and silver the mounting is taxable. (Whether that subjects the stones to tax is awaiting Governmental interpretation.) Since the law has set up no scale to facilitate collections on articles under $1, the association has set up the scale of one cent for every item priced from 10 to 14 cents, two cents from 14 to 24 cents, etc. Most stores will list the regular price of articles on the tags with Turn to Page 4, Column 2 Detroit 14, Indiana 7.

SABO Vrn rr Staff rllfr ANN ARBOR, Sept. 27 They paid off on raw, unadulterated plunging power in huge Michigan Stadium today. Michigan's rugged Wolverines, blasted with a 74-yard touchdown explosion right at the start, struck back with triphammer rapidity and crumbled Michigan State's spirited Spartans, 19 to 7, before 67,079 fans. It was plain, old-fashioned smashing strength culminated by two touchdown plunges by Sophomore Tom Kuzma and one by Capt. Bob Westfall that supplied Michigan with its fourth successive football triumph over State.

It was a display of rugged power which saw a willing but outplayed Michigan State line wilt in front of three touchdown surges. Spartans fin Early Michigan won the hard way as the veteran Spartans walloped the Wolverines with a touchdown one minute and 40 seconds after the opening kickoff. Mercury-footed Jack Fenton, a halfback with touchdown ideas, was the man primarily responsible. On the third play of the afternoon Fenton swept around the Michigan right end, swung behind a phalanx of blockers and hotfooted his way 74 yards to the end zone. There was nothing lucky about this touchdown.

It was a well-timed play backed by silperb blocking. Fenton didn't have a Michigan man near him on the last 20 yards as Wyman Davis set the pace for the Spartan blockers. When Bob Sherman booted the extra point, the realization of this sudden seven-point deficit stung Michigan into angry retaliation. As the big Michigan team started rolling, Michigan State retreated step by stop. For nearly 20 minutes it was a cagy retreat Turn to First Sport Page British to Build lUrKlSll UOCKS Br the Anndntftl Prm LONDON, Sept.

27 A British contracting firm will build extensive dock facilities of considerable military potentiality at the Turkish Mediterranean port of Alexandretta, it was announced today. Foreign observers regarded the announcement as another indication that Britain has been assured that Turkey, her nonbelligerent ally, will not yield Axis economic or military demands. The contract involves $800,000 and a similar contract was reported pending for the port of Mersin, a Turkish Army base-Both Alexandretta and Mersin are linked by railroad with Aleppo, in Northern Syria, and probably would have great military value should Turkey become a belligerent. Belief in some quarters that Turkey was determined to resist the Axis and maintain firm friendship with Britain already had been heightened by deliveries of United States warplanes to the Turks.

Report Reels Spurn Nazi Peace Feeler Ankara Hears Russia Got Terms Similar lo Those Which Were Handed to France BY DANA SCHMIDT foiled Pru Cormpondeot ANKARA, Sept. 26 Diplomatic quarters reported tonight that Russia had rejected a Nazi "trial balloon" for a separate armistice modelled closely on that signed by the Reich with France. Russia, the diplomats reported, has emphatically made plain that she has no interest in any separate armistice or negotiations for that purppse.

Bulgaria Feels Pressure Possibly as a result of the sharp Soviet reaction, the reports said, Germany has again renewed pressure upon Bulgaria In an attempt to obtain her declaration of war against Russia and use of 100,000 Bulgarian troops. The German trial balloon, it was said, was sent up through the medium of neutral diplomats both in Moscow and other world capitals. The nationality of the diplomats who put out the German feelers was not specified. They were said to have suggested to Russian sources that Germany is interested in the idea of a separate armistice with the Soviet, to be signed now, and with a complete peace at some later date. Kremlin Says 'No As soon as word of the feelers reached the Kremlin, it was said, the Russians made emphatically clear to the neutral diplomats that the Soviet had not the slightest Interest in such proposals, and would not consider nor even discuss them.

The German move, the diplomats said, was made through third parties so that no actual proposal of terms were offered. However, it was made plain that the Germans would be willing to negotiate along these lines: 1 German troops to maintain approximate present positions in Russia except in the Ukraine where occupation down to the Caucasus would be completed. 2 German occupation of this area to continue until end of the war. 3 Germany not to interfere in any manner with the Russian regime in the remainder of tho country. It was noted here that this proposal conformed closely to the terms given France in that Russia, like France, would be split into two sections and Germany would obtain all the economic advantages she sight in attacking Russia together with command of the Black Sea and a land connection with the Middle East, similar to her link to the Spanish frontier, through which a new campaign could be started.

100,000 Troops Sought Following the rebuff of these reeiers by Russia, diplomats said, Germany has put new pressure on Bulgaria. Her present demands were said to be for 100,000 troops who would be employed in the East although not necessarily in front-line fighting. Bulgaria would be forced to make a formal declaration of war on Russia. This proposition, it was said, was submitted to Bulgaria when Sofia rejected earlier Nazi demands for complete participation in the attack on Russia. Feaee Reports Please Japs NEW YORK, Sept.

British Rush War Material to Caucasus Nazis Crimea Drive Developing Fully Br the Ajiof latcd Fred LONDON, Sept. 27 The German attack on Crimea is developing into the fullest scale possible down the narrow Perekop Isthmus, authoritative military quarters here said tonight but they expressed tho belief that the peninsula could not be taken unless the Germans were able to wipe out the Soviet Black Sea fleet.

Retention of the Crimea by the Red Army was regarded as vital to the Russian stand because In German hands it would become the springboard for a power drive eastward toward the Caucasus and Russia's great oil fields. There were Increasing signs that Britain already was moving forces into position to help Russia defend the Caucasus. An authoritative source said that large quantities of military supplies were moving toward the Caucasus front from the Persian Gulf. Gen. Sir Archibald P.

Wavell, returning to his military command in India from conferences in London, arrived in Teheran, Iran, today on what the British Legation there called an urgent and secret mission. He was expected to go over plans with Russian military leaders in Iran. The aid Britain already is giving Russia was expected to be sum marized by Prime Minister Winston Churchill soon before the House of Commons. British sources said that despite the intensity of the Nazi attempt to storm a way into tho Crimea, cramped quarters in the five-mile' wide Perekop Isthmus prevented the use of more than about three assault divisions. This was said to be only a "flea bite" compared to other fronts where scores of divisions were hurled Into action by each side.

Failure of the Government to give the contract to Currier would result in a virtual AFL monopoly on defense projects.
