SapirO To Let
Jewish Issue
Alone Now
Will Change Tactics; Admits
Getting Million Dollars

DETROIT. March 2G.-The So
styled Jewish issue in he Ford-Sa-
niro million dollar libel suit will be
abandoned for the presewt 1t was dis
closed here tonight. Robert S. Marx,
associate counsel for Aaron SapirO,
announced this change of tactics af-
ter a conference with William Henry
Gallagher, chief of Sapiro's legal staff.
Meanwhile, Sapiro has admitted
that the fees collected by him from
farmers organizations, were, as
Ford's attorney charged, about mill
lion dollars in aggregate. This state
ment was made in an interview with
newspapermen in his suite at the
Book Cadillac Hotel. Sapiro defended
his price as, not exorbitant.
Not Well Built.
That only thirty of the more than
sixty cooperatives built by Sapiro still
survive, was also admitted by one of
his associates who was present at
the interview.
The case will open this morning
with the examination Of William J.
Cameron, editor Of the Dearborn In
dependent, by w. H. Gallagher, at
torney for Sapiro. Gallagher will at
tempt to trace the origin of the stor-
les about the Jewish ring" which
appeared in the Independent in 1924
and 1925.
Simultaneous with the announce
ment by Marx, Clifford B, Longley,
general counsel for the Ford Motor
Company revealed Ford's probable
testimony and defined tae position
ef the defense, as fcfossa
Ford Doesn't Read Paper.
"Mr Ford, who is now in Sudbury,
Mass, and who may not be on the
witness stand for several days, prob
ably will testify to the fact that he
not only never read the articles in
the Dearborn Independent that are al
legged to have libelled Sapiro, but he
never heard Of Sapiro until after the
suit was brought.
"The defense will seek to prove that
q group Of men, mostly Jews, did
exist in connection with matters set
forth in the independents articles and
we will show that Sapiro had asso-
ciated himself with a band, group,
or however you might term this body,
hut we will prove that the construc-
ton placed by Sapiro on the state
ment that the articles set him forth
in libelous light was ridiculous"
