Laval's Path in Vichy Clouded by Political Strife
Swiss dispatches report confusion in Vichy and Paris over Laval's pro Axis program. Meetings with Otto Abetz and Goering fail to yield decisions, with uncertainty if Petain or Admiral Darlan set limits. Bombings of Paris hotels and German accommodations spark anti German demonstrations as Himmler's ally Oberg is installed in police posts.

Legon Post Dispute Taken to Court in Morenci
The Raymond R. Sebring Post No. 241 of the American Legion Morenci files suit in Lenawee circuit court over control of its meeting hall. The Raymond Sebring Post Home Foundation is named defendant. The post says a 99 year lease from 1937 was assigned to the Foundation, but it continued using the hall. After new officers were elected, a rival post formed, and the Foundation allegedly changed the hall lock with deputy sheriff present. Raymond Sebring seeks a permanent injunction to stop interference and a hearing is set for May 21.

Study Construction Of Big Airplane Carrying Dirigibles
Washington May 23 Congress weighs authorizing giant rigid airships to carry planes for coastal patrols and anti submarine duty. Navy officials say a large airship could carry 10 to 12 planes and attack enemies once sighted, though it could be shot down. The Hindenburg disaster and helium supply shape the debate as submarines threaten Atlantic approaches from the St Lawrence River.

House Hopes for 50 Dollar Monthly Military Pay Rise
The House signaled a possible 55 dollar monthly pay for soldiers and sailors but experts expect the final bill to land near 42 dollars after conference. Chairman May and other leaders warned against a quick floor vote on the amendment adding 50 dollar increments for low ranks as part of the service pay bill. The plan would raise privates and apprentice seamen to 50 dollars monthly, with higher raises for advanced ranks, while other base pay and allowances remain largely unchanged. The measure, tied to avoiding a postwar bonus fight, would affect Army Navy Marine Coast Guard and related services.
