SAP|RO'S CASE
THREATENED
By VIM. X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

FEDERAL 9 BUILDING, De-
TROIT, March 22.-Aaron sapiro,
so-called wheat king, must bolster
his charges of libel against Henry
Ford or his million dollar libel suit
will not be submitted to the jury.
Federal Judge Fred M. Raymond
announced today at the trial here
in Federal court.
The jurist declared that Sapiro's
declaration of libel was INSULT
Gent and Indicated he would throw
the case out of court if amend
ments were not made. Counsel for
Sapiro Immediately agreed to make
the necessary changes.
Attorneys for Ford hailed the an
nouncement as distinct legal
triumph. They had argued several
times that the Sapiro charges were
not technically sufficient to Justify
a verdict against the auto king.
The development came as one in
a long series of technicalities which
the Ford attorneys invoked to aid
Americas first Millionaire.
