Hooper Case
Trial Starts

Battle Creek, Mich, July zap
The state of Michigan prepared
today to bring four Detroit hood.
lums TO justice on charges OF plot
ting a sensational political murder.
the assassination last January II
Of State Senator Warren G. Hooper
Of Albion.
The four men are accused only OF
conspiracy to murder, but the pros
ecution still hopes-and works
for a sensational break which will
point the finger at the actual slayer.
So far, the massed forces Of law
and justice in Michigan have been
unable to unravel the threads of
underworld connivance which they
believe led to Hooper's murder on
a Jackson County highway to pre-.
vent him from testifying against
culprits hunted by the Carr grand
jury investigating graft in state
government.
Principals in Michigan's most
sensational trial In many years are:
The accused: Harry Fleisher, de-
scribed by state police as a former
leader of Detroit's notorious Purple
Gang; Sam Fleisher, Harry's blonde
younger brother; Myron (Mike)
Selik, a dapper. cocky former con-
yict, and reputedly a former "Pur-
pie; and Pete Mahoney, a swarthy,
glowering Greek.
The Judge: Circuit Judge Blaine

Congress Battles Over New
Proposal For Equal Rights

Washington, July 16-AP-A bat
tie over equal rights for men and
women began in Congress today.
The House Judiciary committee
touched off the controversy by fill
ing a majority report urging adop.
ton Of legislation proposing an
equal rights amendment to the Con
stitution.
The report said such action is
needed to halt what is termed dis
elimination against women in the
form OF lower pay schedules, and
to prevent their exclusion from
many Jobs.
Protesting vigorously. seven com.
mittee members filed two minority
reports condemning the suggested
amendment.
They asserted It would take
away many rights women need,
such as special health laws, and
that II would be mischief breed
ing and Confusing. It would,
they said, raise such questions as
whether a wife shouldn't be equal
ly liable with the husband for sup
port Of family or paying alimony.
Report Unsigned
The majority report, unsigned,
recommended simply that Con-
gress submit to the states this pro-
posed constitutional amendment:
That equality of rights under
the law shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or
any state on account Of sex. Con-
gress and the several states shall
have power. within their respec-
tive jurisdictions, to enforce this
article by appropriate legislation.
This amendment shall take effect
three years after the date OF rat
ification."
The majority stressed that both
political parties had recommended
such an amendment last year and
added that before the proposal be-
came law 1t would require ratifica.

THE arduous and efficient SER
vice rendered by women -" during
the present war has clearly demon
strated that women are capable Of

activities of this country" the re.
port asserted.

Washington, July l6-AP - A
Senate drive to have the United Ma.
lions Charter signed and sealed,
ready for delivery to President Tru-
man on his return from the Big
Three meeting doomed today.
Scheduled to be brought before
the chamber next Monday, leaders
were hopeful the document could be

This possibility assumed larger
proportions with the virtual col

er he has decided definitely to offer
no reservations or amendments to
the 5O-nation agreement drafted at
San Francisco.

Big Three Meeting in Potsdan1

Potsdam, July 16-UP-The Big
Three meet in this cradle OF Prus-
sianism today in a fateful confer
ence that war-wearied millions
around the earth hoped wonld pro-.
duce a plan for the sSift deieat oi
Japan and the establishment or
lasting peace.
Accompanied by their top mill
tary and diplomatic advisers, Presi-
dent Truman, Prime Minister
Churchill and Premier Stain come
together for the first time In a
heavily-guarded council chamber
in the picturesque palace Of the late
Kaiser Wilhelm.
Mr.. Truman, confident and in ex-
cellent spirits after his eight-day
sea voyage from Washington, was
ready to brush aside as much form
ality as possible and get down to
business Immediately.
Brass lacks"
With his typical energy and
brass tacks" attitude, the Presi-
dent wanted to take up at once the
lengthy agenda prepared by each
Of the participating nations.
His two main detectives frankly
were a speedy end to the Pacific
war and an agreement on the fu.
ture world peace which would be al
least the forerunner to a full-dress
peace conference sometime after
Japan's complete surrender.
The Big Three discussions were
cloaked by a strictly-enforceds cen
sorship that even banned reporters
from the immediate conference
scene and the only current news
while they last-perhaps three
weeks or more-was expected 10
come from periodic official COM
muniques.
Major Topics
But informed observers believed
the agenda would cover at least
these major topics:
1.-Russia's plans In the Pacific
and the results OF her interrupted
discussions with China.
2-The joint administration Of
Germany.
3-The reparations to be exacted
from beaten Germany: whether In
money, goods or manpower or all
three. Russia repeatedly is asking
for 100000 German men to re-
build her ruined cities.
