COI GULIX Kn-f I'rrm Staff V. rlttr State Salvage Committee officials Wednesday indignantly denied reports that they had put the Army up to stealing 17 of 18 historic cannon at Mackinac Island for scrap. It was only 15 out of 18, they decline, and anyway there was no theft involved and very little history. YOU MUST KEEP STRAIGHT To keep you straight on the various civilian wars involving unloaded cannon, be advised that this has nothing to do with the Detroit City Hall Perry cannon disputes, or w-ith the Wayne County Building cannon which a Spanish War veteran says will be captured over his dead body. You can read on leaving those out of consideration hut you must, however, keep In mind three big Civil War guns spirited out of Lansing some weeks ago when Kenneth M.

Burns. State looking- at them with a gleam In his eye. To get back to the Mackinac Island guns, their loss was first made known in Lansing by Louis Simon, of Kalamazoo, a member of the Mackinac State Island Commission. He said the report that came to him was that an Army major, accompanied by a lieutenant, visited the island and took away all of the 18 relics but the Commodore Perry cannon, apparently a companion piece to the Detroit City Hall relic. OFFICIAL PUT OUT Simon was more than a bit put out because, he said, the commission had authorized surrender of only 12 of the Island's stock of relics.

Wednesday Robert Silbar, assistant executive secretary of the salvage committee, threw open to public gaze all the correspondence involving what has come to be known as The Mackinac Affair. Chief exhibit was a letter, dated Oct. 2, which Gerald J. Cleary, then chairman of the Mackinac Clark said, a final appeal may be made to the War Manpower Committee. The review unit will begin sessions immediately, and appeal hearings will start early next week.

With the announcement of the review unit, Clark added several new classifications to the list of stated that this happening was in no way connected with the fact that he had leaned toward the salvage committee position on old cannon.) WANTED TO KEEP THREE Cleary's letter stated that a "majority of the members" of the Islaad body agreed that the cannon should be taken, but reserved the right to hold on to three. Silbar said that the Army officers duly went to the Island, had Robert Doubt, superintendent, point out the three cannon the Island commission wanted to keep, and took the other 15. No historical relics were among them, he added, and that was that. That wasn't that, however, he-cause the figures didn't jibe anywhere along the line. So some additional figuring was done.

15 WERE TAKEN Silbar Insisted that exactly 15 cannon no more, no less were taken by the Army, Since there were 18 cannon about originally, this would mean that the three cannon the Island commission wanted to keep still remain on the island.
