DETROIT, May 24-The United

The unions long discussed drive on
Dearborn, home Of the far flung Ford
enterprise, fell few feet short of its
objective in the preliminary rush, with
the setting up of membership stations
near, but not within the city limits.
Richard T. Frankensteen, chief or
ganizer tn the drive, said the union,
In leasing Offices in two bank buildings
on the Detroit side OF the Dearborn
boundary, felt that perhaps we will
have little more equity on this side
OF the fence, in the jurisdiction Of the
Detroit police, than with Dearborn
police"
After all, Ford owns most Of the
property in Dearborn" he said.
Although the opening OF the Offices
had been sceduled for 9 80 am. TODAY.
the union said this morning that the
ceremony had been postponed until
tomorrow. There was some DELAY. a
union spokesman said, in receiving
keys from the owners of the buildings.
The union claims 10000 OF the l5O,-
600 Ford workers in the United States.
The current campaign is intended to
sign up majority of the 10000 Ford
employees in the Dearborn area.

John T. Suter, who broke the story
about Justice Willis Van Devanter's
decision to retire from the Supreme
Court, has known many justices init
mately since he began newspaper
work at 10 in 1885.
Time and again he has visited in
their homes. seeking an explanation
Of some difficult legal point to present
it clearly for readers of the Asso-
ciated Press-which he joined in 1921
and remaining to exchange stories
and "reminiscences.
Two rules always were observed: ::
Never to discuss case pending before
the court and never to break q con-
f1dence.
White-haired now, at II, but on the
Job every week day. he had his highest
reward yet last week.
Called BY Van Devanter.
John, as fellow reporters affection
ately know him, heard the telephone
ringing at his home at o'clock Tues
day morning.

apartment on the way to the Office? ~

Suter said yesterday. There wa.
only one story l could think OF in the
taxi-the justices retirement.
But that seemed out Of the ques-
ton when Justice Van Devanter, wear

pipe, talked for Is minutes about my
health. He told me what 1 should do.
Then he said: What I really
wanted to see you about is that I'm
going to notify the President Of my

Justice Van Devanter handed him
copy Of the letter, stipulating that
it not be published until the Official
copy reached the White House.
Scores Beat With Story.
BE sure and visit me on my farm"
he said as Suter departed with the
best newspaper beat OF the Wash
ington year
Allowing time for the messenger to
arrive at the White House, Suter then

cision.
