DETROIT RELIEF
FUNDS WASTED,
FORD CHARGES
Brands BungIing Criminal
Negligence; CouZenS
Defends Mayor.
BY PAUL WEBER
United PRESS STAFF Correspondent

DETROIT, June 18.-While the
Ford Motor Company charged city
officials with criminal negligence"
in the handling Of unemployment
relief funds, Senator James Couzens,
one of the company's founders, to-
day was actively defending Mayor
Frank Murphy and the principle OF
government relief.
Il can not understand criticism of
city relief which has prevented soup
kitchens, bread lines and violence
in Detroit this winter" Couzens
said.
Couzens' statement was made
after a conference with the mayor,
at which the Ford dispute and the
entire question of economic depres-
sion was discussed. Couzens plans
to introduce unemployment insur-
ance bills in the next congress.
The Ford company's latest charge
in a controversy rooted in the ques-
ton of the relative merits Of public
and private charities, was made
by Louis Colombo, attorney for the
company, and personal attorney for
Henry Ford.
There is evidence Of general
negligence say even criminal neg
ligence-in the welfare department"
Colombo said to Thomas E. Dolan,
superintendent of the department
which has spent $17OOo,O0O for re-
lief since the beginning of the de-
preston.
Are you speaking for the Ford
Motor Company?" Colombo was
asked.
Il certainly am" he replied.
Colombo's statement was made at
a conference with Dolan and Harry
H. Bennett, chief of the Ford service
department. 1t was Bennett who
started the controversy with charges
that Ford workers were systemati-
cally robbing the city by getting city
charity while drawing pay at the
River Rouge plant.
Bennett at the meeting with Do
Ian, qualified the original allega-

tons, explaining that the Ford COM
pany, in submitting a list of 229
workers, did not intend to charge
that all we're getting fraudulent aid
from the city. A check showed only
thirteen cases of possible fraud out
Of 100 names. Two of the thirteen
already are being prosecuted.
The support of the liberal Sena-
tor Couzens, former general man
ager of the Ford company, and
mayor Of Detroit during the 1921
depression, put new life into the de-
Tense of the beleaguered mayor and
his aids.
Murphy announced appointment
of disinterested committee 20 in
vestigate the Ford charges. The
Ford company countered with de-
mand that the mayor account for
the $17,000,0O0 spent for doles. The
company was asking this account
ing "as a taxpayer" its officials said
Murphy replied with obvious re-
sentiment: Il am compiling the
eighteen-month history of the Ford
Motor Company in regard to well
fare work. That will be my an
SWer."

Should the number of automobiles

No One Is Injured
No serious personal injury result

bruised right arm when the national
guard ship, piloted by Lieutenant
Howard H. Maxwell, tipped on its
back in mushy field after a forced
landing on the formation take-off.
Occupants Of the other national
guard ships, Major Richard E. Tay-
Tor, Lieutenant Matt G.. Carpenter,
Lieutenant Emory Bryan and the
writer, watched the mishap and ran
to aid the boys as quicly as they
landed.
Maxwell had crawled from the

War Birds Show Stuff
Another plane was ferried over

by the weather or by the crash, the
war birds got in the incest flying of
the tour thus far, swinging over
Gary in a formation which, from
the ground, the three ships ap-
peared welded together.
In truth a man could have leaped
the distance between wing tips and

thought much of attempting the
feat.

 Mines Feel Depression
 MT. Kelsey, a mining engineer was connected with the Alaska Gold Company during the development of Thane. Fifteen years ago ee went to South Africa with a dia- niond mining company.
 The current depression has hit the diamond mining industry hard, he said. However, those engaged in it had some prosperous years preceding the hard times and probably are in shape to stand a drouth," he added.
 When he went to South Africa, the district in which he was To- cated was a primitive wilderness. In the intervening IS years, roads have been built opening it up and development has been rapid. It is closely linked to the coast by mo- tor roads and it is possible to fly by plane now in two days over dis tance that then required 40-day journey by boat and afoot.
 He described briefly the game, climatic and other conditions of the country. Being in the hills. the district was not extremely hot, the temperature never climbing above 100 degrees. But it was not par ticularly healthy owing to the pre- valence of malaria.

 MT. White left Juneau in 1918, spent two years to the westward.
