II Women. Two Men
TO Hear Testimony

A jury composed of IL wom-
en- and two men was completed
this morning before Circuit
Judge Alton II. Noe, in Mount
Clemens, to hear lengthy testi-
money in the City of Detroit's
suit to condemn a one square
mile tract of land in Warren
township for usse IN a municipal
airport site.
Completion of a jury, started
on July 10, was delayed over
one week when one full panel
of prospective Jurors was ex-
hausted and a second was
drawn to provide adequate We
nireman.
The suit, brought by the City
of Detroit, after a State SUI
preme Court decision which, in
effect, said that they could do
so at the peril of being later
sued under nuisance statutes,
has been found by residents of
the Warren township zone eff
fected by the move.
The Detroit action seeks to
condemn for purchase and use
the territory bounded by Eight,
Nine, Ryan and Dequindre
roads.

booths in violation of election
laws.
Mrs. r. Howard McGilton,
chairman of the election board
in Precinct No. 3, charged flat
ly from the floor of the COM
mission chamber that Harrison
had entered the booth under
her supervision lat least six Or
eight times" and had to be
warned twice that he was vio-
lating election laws which pro-
vide that candidates may vote
but must then refrain from
staying in the immediate prox-
unity of polling places.
Mrs. William Henrietta, like
wise a member of the Precinct
No. 8 staff, asked Harrison
pointedly if he were familiar
with election laws. He replied
that he believed so. She then
said:
Mr.. Harrison why did you
hang around the booth and at
tempt to tell us how to run the
election?" 4,
Harrison, for his part, said
that he had left when Informed
that he was violating the law.
He said that he had received
complaints concerning conduct
of the elections and wanted to
ascertain what was wrong.
LONG ON CRITICISM
Lake Township Clerk John
Sheldon, irked at Harrison's
persistent questioning concern
ing the fact that but 10 of the
community's IL voting machines
were in operation, pounded the
commission table and shouted:
You're strong on criticism
but weak on knowledge. You
haven't had the good grace to
inquire concerning the details
of the election preparations"
A resolution, suggested by
Leita NJ. Foust, was offered by
Harrison, providing that, prior
to the next election, voters be
instructed through publication
of the proper manner in which
voting machines should be OPP
Grated.
Testimony offered at Thurs
day nights meeting indicated
that some voters had spent as
long as Is minutes each in the
polling places attempting to I'M
ravel the mysteries of the de-
vices.
Another resolution, offered by
Harrison, provided that the vii
lage clerk and election board
members be called together in
sufficient time prior to the next
election so that all required N
formation concerning smooth
conduct of the elections can be
throughly aired.

Guests this year are still

Berlin to have occurred Thurs
day.
Besides Beck, Berlin announc-
ed execution of whole group
of conspirators linked with the
plot to overthrow the Feuhrer
and prepare the path for peace
in the defeat-riddled and bomb
tortured Reich.
Among them was the Colonel
who was alleged to have planted
a bomb which exploded only a
little over six feet from Hitler
while he was surrounded by his
highest personal military aides.
Deputy Press Chief Sunder-
man declared In connection
with Beck's demise that there
was proof that a connection
was established with an enemy
power" Berlin broadcasts said.
Beck was removed as chief OF
the General Staff in November
1888 because, Berlin dispatches
stated at the time, che failed to
see eve to eye with Hitler"
OPPOSED PLANS
He was reported to have dis
agreed with the Fuehrer's plans
to seize Austria and Czecho-Slo-
vakia.
Field Marshal Gen. Karl Ru-
dolf Gerd Won Rundstedt was
removed as commander OF an
Army group at the same time.
Won Rundstedt, restored to fav-
or in the war, was removed
from his command in western
Europe only a few days ago.
Stockholm newspapers were
cut off from their Berlin cores
pondents at $40 last night,
and communications still were
blocked today. Other sources of
neutral information from inside
Germany likewise were blocked.
The world therefore was re-
stricted largely to the view put
forth by Berlin and other Ger
man-controlled broadcasts.
While these sought to give
the picture of a completely nor
mai Germany,-W with the plot
scotched. other bits Of informa-
ton indicated the revolt was
still on.
(The Atlantic radio, sup
posedly operated inside Ger
many, declared revolution has
burst forth in Germany" and
part of the Eastern army is de
sorting and returning from the
'front.'
Allied propagandists bonn
barded the Reich with broad
casts urging the Germans TO
deal the death blow TO the Hit
