AAfter his transport truck had
Eugene Hassen of Meta, Ohio,
hit a parked car and turned over,
the driver, kicked out the win
dow of the badly mangled cab
and crawled out unhurt. He
reached in and recovered his hat,
which was slightly damaged, and
set about checking the situation.
The accident occurred about
midnight last night, and left the
big truck lying in the middle OF
Gratiot Ave. about six miles
north of Mount Clemens.
The parked car, which suf-
fered considerable damage, be-
longed to George S. Hiloss of
Detroit. The side of the car had
been badly Dashed, but no one
in the car had suffered any in
jury.
AS the truck lay, it created a
hazard until wrecking crews ar
rived and set it upright, moving
it to the side of the road. While
this lengthy job was going on,
State Police troopers Younger,
Cluer, Goldsworthy and
Strable took charge of the scene
and minimized the danger with
traffic direction and flares.

GA japanese liner with q po-
lite but determined captain
ploughed westward today with
out Fritz Wiedemann and DR..
Hans Borchers, expelled German
consul general who missed the
boat on purpose then spent IL
hectic hours trying to catch it.
The two top-ranking Nazis re-
fused to board the Nyk liner
Yawata Maru with their staffs
and families yesterday, fearing
that without q British guarantee
of safe conduct across the Pa
cific they would be risking seiz-
ure at sea.
Two hours or 50 after the va
wata Maru sailed word came
from the British embassy in
Washington that the Nazis would
not be molested en- route.
Wiedemann then tried franc
tically to have the ship stopped.
He radioed the captain asking
that the Yawata turn about and
come back for them at the Ger
man governments expense.
But the japanese master re-
piled he was sorry, in these
words: "Please express our
greatest regrets we are unable to
accept request to return"
This didn't stop Wiedemann,
the San Francisco consul-gen-
eral who was once Adolf Hitler's
commanding officer. He tele-
phoned the Japanese embassy in
Tokyo and the Nyk lines main
office there, and the Yawata
flashed to q halt some 90 miles
at sea, awaiting developments.
Wiedemann then sought trans
portation to the Yawata. Without
success he attempted to hire q
seaplane or boat. He asked the
coast guard for q cutter, and
the navy for a destroyer. But he
was told that neither branch
could give him an answer until
it was decided whether the va
wata would turn about.
Then, near midnight, the Ger
man embassy In Washington in
formed the consulate here that
the Yawata Maru sis too far out
and there is no possibility Of her
turning back"
Dr.. Otto Denzer, the ousted
vice-consul here, said he could

AS head of the navy in q year

1--WE never regarded Mr..
Stimson and myself as members
of a coalition" he said. Both OF
us were actuated by the pro-
found conviction that the coun-
try faced a crisis so serious that
all personal considerations must
be thrust aside, when we were
asked to contribute in any way
to the national security.
1--WE came here without the
slightest heed to any political

I'm behalf of the President

say that I have never been en-
barrassed in any way or had my
work as secretary of the navy
impaired by any thought of po-
litical considerations. No one
could ask more considerable
treatment than I have received
from the President and my col
leagues in the cabinet"
Knox said he felt "a great
sense of qualification over the
progress made in upbuilding the
navy in the past year" and he
ascribed an overwhelming pro-
portion of the results to his pro-
fessional co-workers in the navy.

Charges in
Mckay Trial

DETROIT, July IA R -
US. District Attorney J. c.
Lehr undertook an investigation
today of a jurors statement that
there was something wrong"
with a federal court jury that
was discharged Saturday be-
cause it failed to reach q YER
dict after six days of delibera-
ton on the Frank D. Mckay
mail fraud case.
while q careful reading of
the report of the statements of
certain jurors indicates such
statements are based on suspic-
ion rather than on definite
knowledge" Lehr said, Gin view
of widespread publicity given
by the Metropolitan Press to
such statements ! shall make an
immediate, thorough and i'm
partial Investigation of the So
called charges to determine their
truth or falsity."
INTERVIEW JURORS
Lehr said he would interview
each of the eight men and four
women who constituted the
jury that heard the testimony
and arguments during the two
months-long trial of Mckay,
Michigan's Republican National
Committeeman; William H. Nc
Keighan, former Mayor of
Flint; Fred c. Ehrmann, former
Secretary of the state liquor
commission, and eight others
accused with them of a $780,
600 liquor graft shakedown
charged as a basis for the eight
count mail fraud indictment.
Henry G.. O'Donnell, special
assistant US. Attorney General
in charge of the Mckay case,
said he had no comment upon
the jurors statement. He was
in his office yesterday, however,
and said he would continue an
investigation he began when the
jury was discharged in mid
afternoon Saturday.
SPEAKS OPENLY
At least one juror, Anton
Maslan, unemployed Detroit
waiter, went directly from the
courtroom to ODonnell's Office
and was closeted there for more
than an hour. Maslan. who said
he was one of the seven who
voted for conviction from the
first ballot, was the juror who
told reporters there was "some-
thing wrong" with the jury.
The episode provided drama
tic sequel to a trial that afford
ed all of the suspense of de-
tective novel. The governments
charges of an intricate organiza-
ton supposed to have relayed
liquor graft money from distill-
cries to the various defendants
were countered by defense ar
guments that the whole prosecu-
ton was the result of q "po-
litical conspiracy" by "men
high in the ranks of the De-
mocratic party" to pay off a
grudge born of the defeat of
former Governor Frank Murphy,
later U. S. Attorney General and
now a Supreme Court justice,
by the late Governor Frank D.
Fitzgerald, a Republican who
campaigned in 1888 with Nc
Kay's support.
