The threat ot prave comohcations betwee Lithuania and Germany was partially removed today when President Antanas Smetona saved four Nazis convicted of plotting Memel's return to the Reich from a firing squad. Smetona commuted the death sentences, which legally would have been carried out today, to ones of life imprisonment Although the Supreme Court yesterday upheld the death penalties, the Nazis, with the prospect of less than 24 hours to live, steadfastly refused to appeal to the President, their only hope. Their lawyers, however, asked for clemency and although the request had no legal validity. It wag granted.

The decree removed the men's citizenship and confiscated their property. They will be given cells in the Kaunas Jail, while 83 other prisoners convicted with them will serve terms of from six months to 18 years imprisonment in provincial prisons. Police reinforcements patrolled the Memel territory to prevent anti-Government demonstrations and strong forces were held on duty in Kaunas. The Government charges that the four Nazis receiving clemency killed a colleague because he confessed the Memel plot to Lithuanian authorities. A Berlin dispatch said that the executive decree was not favorably received in Germany.

A Propaganda Ministry spokesman said that the decision "did not correct the injustice." It was believed that one of the former World War allies, possibly Great Britain, intervened with Lithuania in behalf of the condemned men in the interest of peace.

MICHIGAN (Ortmntitd tm mmk knien trum Attention! i Center of Quiz Functions of Bottle Exchange Studied The spotlight of Detroit's milk investigation during the last week has returned per sistently to two organizations the milk dealers maintain These are the market practices committee of the Metropoh tan Detroit Milk Dealers, and Michigan Milk Bottle Exchange.

Before the Grand Jury can answer the question, "Is there a milk trust?" it must first decide "What are the real functions of the bottle exchange and the market practices committee?" Milkmen who deny they are member of a combine engaged In maintaining high prices any that the bottle- exchange Is merely an agency for- returning stray bottles to the owners. The market practices committee, they say, hears complaints made by one milk dealer against another. County Corporation Counsel Sweetman G. Smith draws an entirely different picture of the activi-tiei'df these two organizations. The market practices committee, he says, is a "court" which sits in judgment upon dealers who violate rules-laid down by the "trust." And the bottle exchange, he adds, Is the agency which enforces the edicts of the Together the two organizations romtitute of the milk industry which he main tains is in violation of Michigan anti-trust laws.

Members of the market practices committee are selected by the Metropolitan Detroit Milk is a corporation which wag formed In December, 1933, by 42 milk companies, and which in Mav, 1934, undertook to carry on duties the AAA code authority had abandoned. Since its inception the market practices committee has listened to 3.800 complaints from dealers. It hag recognized 90 as being substantial in nature. In 13 instances the market practices committee has made adjustments and in 77 instances It has recommended punishments. The 77 cases involved 31 companies.

The bottle exchange is a corporation by 29 milk companies. It serves as a clearing house for milk bottles that become lost or stolen and is run on a non-prcfit basis. A surprising number of bottles become lost or strayed in the ordinary course of business. The exchange customarily handles 3,500.000 bottles a month, giving it a gross income of $87,500 a month. The actual cost of clearing a bottle through the exchange Is only three-tenths of a cent.

So out of its gross income the exchange turns back to each creamery each month a rebate representing the difference between what it has charged that creamery for getting bottles back ana what the operation nas cost.
