GLEN RICHARDS AND CHIEF ED C. Fire Department HOME FROM Freo Presi Photo JAMES BARR Hurt in Pacific battle Navy'Vcljn, Back Home with Wounds The first Detroit youth to enlist In the Navy in 1042 was home Thursday and "champing at the bit" to get back into action against the Axis. James Barr, 17 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Barr, of 17509 Cameron, enlisted shortly after midnight on Jan.

1 a few seconds after he had become 17. Barr was home on leave after suffering wounds in the chest during an engagement in the Pacific several months ago. Because of Navy restrictions, Barr could not tell what ship he was on during the naval battle, nor where the battle took place. "I was working below deck as a fireman," he said. "I started up the ladder and something hit me in tne cnest.

'mat the last I remember." Barr spent several weeks In Navy hospitals and then was sent home on furlough. He will rejoin his shipmates on thetWest Coast Friday. WW could be adjusted in time to permit a national radio broadcast from the camp next Saturday. But even as he spoke, Reinald Werrenrath, internationally known baritone and a member of the Musicians Union, was reported en route to Interlochen to Investigate protests of Dr. Maddy and the camp students over the banning of the broadcasts through action by James Petrlllo, president of the Musicians Union, with the National Broadcasting Co.

A mass meeting of the students, all exceptional musicians of high school age, was called for tonight by the camp student council to decide the form of an official student protest. Previously, Dr. Maddy had protested to President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, with which the Musicians Union is affiliated. Green replied in a telegram today that the controversy is "with the American Federation of Musicians and not the American Federation of Labor." In Washington, it was reported that attorneys for the Federal Communications Commission were studying the law to determine whether or not there could be any official Interference which would permit the continuation of the broadcasts, a Saturday feature of the National Broadcasting Co. for 12 years.

In New York radio circles were concerned whether or not the NBC would abandon plans to broadcast a musical program from Iowa City Saturday night in connection with the Iowa music festival. The University of Iowa symphony aud chorus were scheduled to appear on the program. The National Broadcasting Co. cancelled the Interlochen broadcasts after Petrillo had protested that the musicians appearing on the program were not members of the union, with which NBp has a contract. Chrysler Alarm Gives Warning over Mile and a Half Radius Br i Auixlatnl Trnt WASHINGTON, July 16 A 5125,000,000 appropriation to run the Office of Price Administration was approved by the Senate to-day after removal of most of the "crippling amendments" to which Administrator Leon Henderson had objected.

The sum, J15.0O0.00O 1cm than the minimum Henderson estimated he needed, is $50,000,000 more than the House authorized, and the measure was gent back there for action cn amendments. Stipulation Left In The Senate left in one provision opposed by Henderson a stipulation that none of the money could be used to pay subsidies. Henderson told reporters that this might make It difficult to ad- minister some price-control programs, such as one by which the Government-financed Defense Supplies Corp. plans to absorb the increased cost of transporting gasoline overland rather than by tankers. Absorption of this cost may permit Henderson to cancel at least part of the gasoline price incrase of 2V4 cents a gallon recently authorized In the rationed Eastern states.

In other respects, the bill was believed tailored closely to Henderson's needs. The Senate removed a committee amendment which would have required Senate confirmation of OPA officials making more than $4,500 a year, and later, with Vice President Henry A. Wallace breaking a 30-30 tie vote, deleted a similar provision with respect to employees of the Office of Civilian Defense. Feared Political Influence Objectors to these provisions had contended they would "inject politics" Into these appointments. The Senate also removed an amendment which would have required lengthy technicalities before adjustments could be made in the price levels of processed farm commodities.

Senator Bennett C. Clark, Missouri Democrat, failed in an effort to remove a provision declaring that the $125,000,000 was all the OPA could have for the current fiscal year, and barring transfers from other appropriations.

Breaks Consular Tie Midi Finland Offices Here Must Be Closed by Aug. 1 Treaty Violation Laid to Ally of Germany Br the AufUtt4 Frets WASHINGTON, July 16 The United States moved just a step short of a break in diplomatic relations with Finland tonight by asking tha one-time close friend to close all its consular offices in this country before the end of this month. A State Department announcement said that the Finnish Government "undermined the basis upon which American consular representation was maintained in Finland" and had denied American consular officers their treaty rights. The Government's action was announced shortly after Hjalmar J. Procope called ai the State Department for a lengthy talk with Acting Secretary Sumner Welles.

Procope declined to discuss the developments with newspapermen. Finnish Government maintains 14 consular offices in the United States and its territories. Two of them are in Michigan at Detroit and Marquette. The status of the American Legation in Helsinki and that of the Finnish Legation in Washington remains unchanged. The downward trend in relations, however, was strongly reminiscent of the progressive deterioration in German-American relations.

The closing of German consular offices in this country and of American consular offices In Germany was one of the preliminaries leading up to the final rupture and declaration of war. The State Department's announcement made no mention of Finland's participation in Germany's war against Russia, but the little republic's awkward position as an ally of the Nazis on the northern front has already led to warnings from the United States that such participation could not be continued without loss of American friendship. The United States has maintained in Finland several consular officers serving1 concurrently as officers of the legation in Helsinki.
