Blossom, Heath
Case Opens in
Circuit Court
PIointiffs Charge
Violation Of the
y. S. Constitution

Mandamus action brought in
the Macomb County Circuit
Court against the Village Com
mission of st. Clair Shores by
Blossom Heath Inc, an inter
racial club, seeking to force the
village to issue licenses for the
clubs operation, today was be-
ing heard by visiting Judge
Paul r. Cash, of Alma. Negro
and white spectators were in
court.
Up to noon the trend of testi-
mony had been guided by at
torneys for the plaintiff corpor-
alton along two distinct lines of
argument:
That in refusing licenses un-
der the Zoning Ordinance the
depriving the plaintiffs of use
and benefit of their property
without due process of law,
thereby violating the 14th
Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, and
ZONING ISSUE
That the expressed objections
of village officials to a Negro
Club" should be allowed in evil
dence as a truer basis for their
vote against club license, rath-
er than their contention that the
refusal was based solely on the
coming proposition.
These two bases of argument
furnished ammunition for the
opening phases of the mandam.

Soviet Role in Jap War
Seen as Meeting Topic

LONDON, July I (P.-Chinese
Premier T. V. Soong's mission to
Moscow raised increasing specula-
ton in diplomatic quarters today
over the possibility that Russia's
role in the Pacific war would oc-
cupy a top place on the agenda OF
the approaching Big Three confer
ence.
Responsible but nonattributable
sources said fatty that it would be
impossible to discuss Chinese Soviet
relations in the Far East without
taking into consideration the out
come of the japanese war and its
impact on Far Eastern affairs.
The London Sunday Chronicle, ir
its principal page one story, sale
tonight:
There are many indications Rus
sia intends to change her neutrality
toward japan and come in with
Great Britain and the United States
to finish the war in the Far East
in the shortest possible time. 1t is
expected this matter will be fully
discussed during the. forthcoming
meeting of the Big Three"
The Chronicle said the reported
change in Russia's attitude was due
to the fact Stain is aware that a
future peace conference in Europe
will have 70 be postponed till the
war in the Far East is brought to
victorious end"

three-mile channel will have tt

Navy Capt. Harold R. Holcomb Of
Berkeley, Calf. is in charge oi
getting the ship ready. A Wal
Department spokesman said the
Europa will be manned by an Amer
lean crew.
What flags the captured German
vessels will fly and the nationality
under which they will be registered
will be determined, it was said ir
official circles. by negotiations be-
tween the State Department ano
the British Foreign Office.
Among the captured German ves-
sells, it was learned, are six which
seem likely to be useful in the
Pacific soon. In addition to the
Europe these include the Pretoria
16,700 tons; Caribia, 12,l00 tons;
Pottsdam, 1880 tons; Patria
16,600 tons, and Milwaukee, ton

Except the Europa, these vessels
were designed for service on the
South Atlantic run and hence are
adaptable to the warm climates.

question. With most of the high
Nazis in British and American
hands, they feel these arch crimi-
nails" should long ago have been
brought to trial.
Certainly this matter will be
brought up in the discussions, and
the u S. S. R. will ask for speed
up in the process The longer
these Germans remain untried the
greater their menace, in the opinion
of most Russians.
The Soviets probably will have
something to say also about the
larger number of Germans who are
running around free in Allied occu-
pied zones, some of them with execu-
tive jobs.
Reparations a Paramount Issue.
Reparations, of course, also are
of paramount interest to the u. S.
S. r. as the major sufferer at the
hands of the German invaders. Rep
aration leaders, if not their mis-
sions, are expected to attend the
conference. Much progress in rep
arationS is expected to be made. for
the groundwork already has been
laid.
Foreign diplomatic circles report
the Russians are ready to discuss
with their Allies the status and rela-
tionS of such former enemy Eu-
ropean states as Romania, Bull
garia, Hungary and Austria.
The Polish question should take
little time at this meeting. now
that the new government of ma
tional unity has been formed and
recognized by the Allies.
The Soviets unquestionably will
point out to the western Allies the
need for aid in European countries
this winter, and probably will assert
that the Allies, principally the
United States, are expected to play
a major role in bringing help.
Franco Case to Come Up.
The status of Generalissimo
Franco of Spain most certainly will
be brought up by the U. S. S. r. at
the meeting. For years they have
branded him as one of the worlds
leading FaScistS. They have ac-
cused him of giving sanctuary to
Nazis and Fascists and of even
worse crimes.
The Russians are sure to ask the
British, Americans and French to
do something about Franco, some
thing more concrete than speech
or declaration. They simply do
not feel Europe can be secure with
Franco playing a role in it.
Argentina, too, will come up for
review.

Europa, Third Largest
Ship AfIoat, TO Bring
Yanks Back 10 u. ).

The Europa, third largest ship
af1oat, will be used this fall as a
troop ship carrying American SOL
diers for redeployment to the
United States, the War Department
announced yesterday.
The giant liner. it was learned, Is
one of feet of German merchant
vessels which soon will be in the
service of the United Nations, and
some of them probably will carry
troops across the Pacific to fight
Hitler's one-time ally, Japan.
ALLEGATION of the various vessels
captured in German ports, to world
shipping routes now is under con-
sideration by the United Maritime
Authority Planning Committee
This body. set up at conference In
London last October, recommends
ship assignments from the United
Nations pool.
Load to Be Doubled.
The 49.746-ton Europa, once the
fastest on the Atlantic run
is expected to make two round trips
from Europe to the United States
monthly. It's peacetime load of
2,l26 passengers is being increased
to capacity of more than 5000.
The Europa was moved recently
for the first time in four years from
a silt-ridden bed at Bremerhaven
to nearby drydock where German
workmen now are reconditioning
her.
Channel Must Be Dredged.
The War Department said the
ships twin propellers appear to be
in good condition but that the IL
huge turbines, the rudder and shafts
may have to be overhauled. The
only damage to the ship during the
war was inflicted by small bomb

Reds Feel That Allies
Use Bad Judgment
In Handling Germans
BY EDDY GILMORE,
Associated Press War Correspondent.

hseuC4hteu fTtSS war SOETeSpuHueub.
MOSCOW, July THE Rus
slams, as they approach the vic
tory" Conference of the Bic
Three, are determined to reach
agreements with their Allies that
will snuff out German imperial
ism forever and insure that a
Hitler never again will rise to
power.
The Soviets do not want just g
stopgap measure this time. In
this connection. they believe that
their Allies are making serious
mistake in handling the German
people.
First Of all, the Russians believe
ID is imperative that a better Ger
many must swell from the German
people and not develop from repres-
sive measures imposed on them.
They feel that the. Allies are guilty
Of bad judgment when they outlaw
all political parties and do not al
low mass gatherings Of Germans for
political discussions. The Red Army
occupying forces have legalized all
anti-Fascist parties in their zones.
They have recognized trade unions
and they allow meetings.
Organizations All Watched.
It goes without saying that the
Soviets are keeping an eye on every
organization which calls itself anti
Fascist and on every meeting dedi-
Gated to German democracy. The
first sign that any of these gather
ings might be used as an under
cover for Naziism, or for the revival
of German militarism to even the
slightest extent, will see quick
counter-measures.
The Russians also are concerned
with the international cartel situa-
ton and unquestionably will bring
this up. They will wish proof and
definite reaSSuranceS that German
industrialists have not gone under
ground and found other places Of
work, possibly in other countries.
The U. S. S. R. also probably will
require assurances, especially from
the United States, that there will be
no more loans to Germany whereby
she might be able to rearm. This
question undoubtedly will be talked
out and assurances asked.
A closer coordination among the
Allied policies in Germany must be
on the agenda, and in this respect
the Russians will give full airing to
their apprehensions as to how Brit
ish and Americans treat proven
Nazis in their areas.
Want Trials Speeded.
The Soviets also are keenly inter-
ested in the trial of war criminals.
They believe that the Allies have
been very slow in handling this
