Boddie Ward. for a year and a half after the ;ive patrol radio stations were plac ed in operation—at Elizabethtown, Williamston, Raleigh, Salisbury and Asheville—‘‘not a single at tempt was made to rob a bank in the state,” the report said. ‘ In the past three years we have jad four robberies or attempted robberies in the state—one at Win terville. one at St. Paul, one in Rutherford county, and one at Rockwell. • In each of these warnings have been broadcast to all members of the patrol by means of our radio svstem, and the robbers have been apprehended. In each of the cases the patrol participated in or made the arrests. “Through means of our radio system we were able to track down Bill Payne and Wash Turner, two of the worst criminals in the history of the state.” In connection with the Rockwell robbery, Major Armstrong praised Patrol’ Sgt. H. R. Frymoyer of Salisbury. Armstrong said that the robbery occurred at 10 o’clock in the morn ing and that only part of a li cense number was secured as evi dence. “This information was given tc Serjeant Frymoyer and with this meager set of facts he searched down the kind of car to which it belonged Cthe license number) and checked on all of the people in that locality who owned such automo biles. By 7:30 that night he had apprehended the bank robber and in a little less than two hours had cecured a confession.” -V Negro Sentenced In Assault Case James McKoy, negro, was sen tenced to one year on the roads on each of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon at hearings Tuesday morning in Recorder’s Mart.

P. Phone photo.) YANKEE DOODLE DADDY FOR 1942 Detroit Tooknaker Is Chos en Warworkers’ Father This Year NEW YORK, June 16—W—He’s the “Yankee Doodle daddy of 1942” He works in a war factory. He has two sons in the army. And in addition to these patriotic activi ties, his entire family of six is buyng war stamps and war bonds. That’s why Arthur S. Ash, De troit aircraft toolmaker, has been chosen to represent all the war worker fathers of America next Sunday. He laid down his tools in the Excello Aircraft Corporation in De troit and reached New York today as guest of the National Father’s Day Committee. Tomorrow, Ash will go to Washington to be re ceived by Paul V. McNutt, na tional manpower administrator. “The fathers of Detroit are work ing seven days a week and 10 hours a day to turn out war ma terials,” he said in an interview at the Hotel McAlpin. ‘That’s the least we can do. And many a father will celebrate this Father’s Day by making certain that his sons at the front have the best fighting equipment they can make.” Two of Ash’s sons are corporals in the army.' Herman, 24, is sta tioned at Seattle, and Albert, 22, is at Camp Chaffee in Arkansas. Ash’s wife, another son and a daughter, reside at 15875 Dexter Boulevard, Detroit. They were un able to make the trip East. “We’re turning out war equip ment 'way ahead of schedule in Detroit,” Ash said. “There’s no complacency out there, and there never will be. We know what the war’s all about.” Ash said that every father in America should forget about pres ents for himself this year and send the men in camps gifts they can use. “And don’t forget to write the boys a letter,” he said. “They’ll appreciate that most.” -V Telephone Company Issues New Rules Telephone subscribers planning to move to new addresses may not be able to obtain telephones at their new locations unless they are among essentail categories set up by the War Production Board. Non-subscribers also may not be able to obtain telephones in the future unless they are in one of the essential categories. These are the principal effects here so far of the recent War Production Board order limiting telephone installations, according to W. B. Bryan, manager of the telephone company. Subscribers who plan to move and want telephone service at their new addresses should call the tel ephone business office and learn whether their prospective new lo cations are in areas where service cannot be furnished by the tele phone company. Through their cooperation, the telephone-using public will help di vert huge amounts of vital ma terials into war production, includ ing an expected 53,000 tons of lead, 35.000 tons of iron and steel, 43, 000 tons of copper 8,500 tons of zinc, 1,890 tons of crude rubber and large amounts of other ma terials annually. This diversion of materials will help substantially in providing planes and tanks and all the other implements of war for the f'ght against the enemy. -V Two Die When Train And Engine Collide EVANSVILLE, Ind„ June 16.—W —Two men were killed shortly aft er noon today as a Louisville and Nashville railroad train and a freight engine sidewiped at the southwest edge of Evansville.
