War Adds Note
Of Solemnity to
Easter Gayety
Khaki, Blue Uniforms
Prevail Over Bright
Colors at Services
A strong military complexion
prevailed over the seasons bright
colors as Detroit and its churches
observe their first “War Easter’* in
almost a quarter of a century.
Present in the churches, and
lending a solemn note to the
Easter week-end ceremonies were
the khaki and blue of the armed
services.
Except for tho military note, the
city was prepared to celebrate
Christ's resurrection from the
tomb in a customary manner.
Record Crowds Out
Crowds of record proportions
were anticipated by ehurrhe* and
ojx‘i) air ceremonie s due to the re
vival of religious interest that has
accompanied the war.
Gov. Murray I). Van Wagoner
and his famdy planned to attend
sunrise services at Belle Isle.
This Tour-yetr-old endeavor was
expected to attract the day’s
largest audience. The Rev. David
K. Gillespie of the Alpha Baptist
Church was the scheduled speaker,
with music by the Salvation Army
I>n nd.
An early high mass will be
celebrated in most Catholic
«hurrhfs while Episcopal and
Lutheran |>anshes generally‘plan
early holy communion and Prot
estant faiths will hold special
Easter programs.

DETROIT’S 1942 EASTER GIRL ON GRAND BOULEVARD
. . . her lingerie’s 60 per cent rayon, her gloves 1941 s . . .
By JANE S< HF.RMERHORV
The 1942 Easter girl dressed
this morning for spring s annual
fashion parade,.
Many thoughts occupied her
pretty head.
First, as she pulled on her nylon
h<ce. she was extra careful when
she considered how few- pairs she
has. Washington, even before Pearl
Harbor, had warned her that the
filmy stockings would be men as
ingly difficult to buy. As she
vhopfmd ff>r Master even tho estab
lishments 1 fiat sj*-ll it nhoppr
hinted li*de and rot ton ht><r would
soon appear. She could tint her
legs with new liquid stockings, if
she wished.
The Girdle Worry
A« *he .slipped Into her girdle,
she wondered whether before the
year was out thes«. would have
disappeared from the market en
tirely.
Vet sugar rationing should help
America's feminine imputation to
the slim v side.
By thin time, ibought< of war
had made Miss Master's mouth
break into n becoming pout. She
lijedickod the iKiut and was re
minded that cosmetics were going
to be scarcer and more expensive.
was paying a 10 per
cent luxury tax on her creams and
powders and perfumes. Some
creams, rich in oil. had to bo
ordeied several weeks before deliv
ery could l)e promised
The war. Miss Master reflected,
was going to be hard on her com
plexion.
3ye-Bye to Silh
She pulled on her silken slip and
remembered that Master Saturday
she had been told that all the new
lingerie on the Detroit market was
iM*r cent rayon. Pure silk linge
rie was almost imjKJssible to find.
Our particular Master girl chose
ITU's fashion favorite next —a suit.

Doctor, Brother
j Indicted by U. S.i
In Cancer Probe
Federal Authorities
Act After 2-Year
Investigation Here
After more than two years of
investigation, federal authorities
Saturday announced the indict
ment of Dr. William F. Koch, head
of Koch Laboratories, and hi«
brother. Louis, for violation of
drug laws in Ihe sale of a prepara
tion for the treatment of cancer.
Idoctor Koch, it was revealed,
has been arrested at hi* home at
Delray Beach. Fla., and is under a
$5,000 l>ond awaiting removal to
l>‘troit.
llis brother, secretary-treasuver
of the company, was arrested
here, arraigned before Federal
Judge Ernest A. O’Brien and re
leased under $5,000 Ixrnd after a
not guilty plea had l>ccn entered.
11-Count Indictment
An 11 -count indirftnent against
the brothers was returned by a
federal grand jury here, it was an
nounced by Assistant 1 ’nited
States District Attorney John C.
Ray. Each count |)ertains to the
shipment of a quanlitiy of the al
leged cancer cure to some part of
the United States. Ray said.
In 1934. DoctorcKoch was named
in a $25,000 damage suit in whic h
a 60-year-old railroad employe
charged that Koch falsely diag
nosed a blood disease as rancor
At that time Koch was head of
the Koch Cancer Foundation at
7835 East Jefferson avenue.
The patient won a $5,500 ver
dict.
Price Compared
Ray said that Koch sold his al
leged cancer treatment to other
“healers” for $25 for a half tea
spoonful. When he gave it to pa
tients he charged S3OO an injec
tion. Ray said.
“I won’t say that It was Just
water,” Ray said, “but it was so
weak it was like throwing a
cocktail Into the Detroit River
and expecting Mime one at
Niagara Falls to get a kick out
of the water.”
Koch sold the product under the
names of Glyoxyhde and Bcn/.0-quinonc.
quinonc. Ray said His laboratories
are at 8181 East Jefferson avenue.

Uniforms, Guns
Lacking for State
Defense Forces
Despite 5 Million Fund
Shortage Is Revealed
in Survey of Barracks
Rv DOROTIIV WILLIAMS
Although $5,000,000 is earmarked;
for defense of Michigan, the men
who have the* job of defending the)
state ate drilling in inadequate,
uniforms, which in sonic instances'
they paid for out of their own;
jxx'krts.
Nor does the state provide the
guns for their rifle practice.
These facts were revealed Sat
urday after an inspection of the
Michigan State Troops barracks in
the* Armory at Brush and Earned
streets.
1,001 Men on Duty
Troops in this area number 1.001
men on active duty. 163 of them on
what is known as actual duty,
meaning they give full time to
their soldiering job.
All are enlisted ior three vears’
service within the state “tocontrol
rioting, suppress rebellion, repel
invasion or jxrform any other
military duty designated by the
governor.”
Actual duty men draw a mini
mum pay of $2.25 a day and re
reive food and clothing. They are
quartered at the Armory'.
In the nearly four months of
actual duty they have been issued
only one uniform each, giving them
no opportunity for cleaning or
repairs
The issue of the olive drab sum
mer uniform i< not wearable, Col.
W D. Howe, district commander,
admitted.
Made of shoddy material, the
jackets of the summer uniforms
appear to tie cutover chats of the
cfcrhcr world war with collars
fashioned from fxx'kets.
Collars and jackets sometimes
match, hut more often do not.
Most of the jackets issued for De
troit were si/e 36. which was too
small for most of the men.
Get No Overcoats
The shirts, shoes and trousers,
however, are satisfactory.
Active duty Michigan State
Troops have been issued no ovor
coats or raincoats.*
Their equipment lias Included
only trousers, blouse, shirt and
necktie, in which they must parade
w henever ordered.
They also are expected to buy
their summer uniforms.
The .22-caliber rifles used In
target practice are supplied by the
tnen themselves.
A do/f n men own their rifles.
These are supplemented by rifles
lent by the Sons of the American
Legion and other groups which use
the rifle range.
Another instance of injustice Is
the case of the active duty troops
who work many nights training
the 300 civilians Ix-ing dulled at
the Canfield Armory.
They receive no pay and no ex
penscv. Most of them drill the
civilians after working all day.

PART T,
UAW to Decide I
On Double Pay'
At Session Here
500 Locals to Send
Delegates to Meeting
Opening on Tuesday
Whether local unions of the
UAW-CIO are 1o accede to the
request of War Production Chief
Donald M. Nelson and abandon
double pay for Sunday and holiday
work for the duration of the war
will be decided this week at a
national conference of the union
Tuesday and Wednesday in the
Masonic Temple.
More than 1.400 delegates from
more than 300 local unions are ex
pected to attend the two-day ses
sion, which was called by the
union’s international executive
board.
Lewis Move Suspected
The conference will be preceded
Monday by a special strategy
meeting of the 200 international
representatives of the union at the
Hotel Fort Shelby.
The meeting of international or
ganizers is believed to have been
prompted by re|>orted moves of
John L. Lewis adherents to split
the union on the question of
double-time pay.
At the request of Nelson, th#
CIO executive board has already
approved a resolution recommend
ing that the double-time premiums
for Sunday and holiday work when
they fall within a 40-hour week be
abandoned for the "duration.”
500,000 Affected
The decision of the conference
will have tremendous bearing on
UAW unions, in that more than
80 per cent of them have con
tracts with employers which pro
vide for double time on Sundays.
These contracts cover approxi
mately 500,000 workers.
Although considerable opposi
tion to the proposal is anticipated.
President R. J. Thomas and Walter
Reuther. a board member, have in
dicated that they will demAhd that
the delegates support the action of
r the CIO executive board.
Also to be affected by the de
cision of the conferees will be the
• current negotiations between Gen
eral Motors and the union.
; The union's GM contract now
‘ provides for the double-time pre
-1 mium for Sunday and holiday
work.
■ The corporation is asking that
this be eliminated.
