Report Favors
Wage Hikes
Commerce Department
Reviews Auto Field

WASHINGTON. Nov. l-(HD
"A Commerce Department re-
port says wages can rise substan-
TALLY without any corresponding
increase in prices.
The report deals chiefly with
the Automobile industry.
In this industry, says the re-
port, wages can be increased
as much as 25 per cent within
the next two years and profits
still may be three times larger
Than in the l936-1939 period.
Said the report, which was
prepared by the bureau OF for
eign and domestic commerce:
Even with % per cent wage
increase Tin the Automobile In
dustry), and some increase in
materials costs, profits three
times larger than in the 1886
1889 period can be expected, on
sales two and one-half times as
large.
"(The years l936-1939 are
Used as a reference here because
they serve as the base in calcu-
lations for the excess profits tax
and were used by OPA in de-
veloping profit margins for price
setting.)"
Continuing to discuss the Au-
tomobile industry. the report
said
"While sales next year, ex-
elusive of military products, will
probably be about eight per cent
below 1941, profits accrued from
these sales would be approx
mately one-third lower. Profits
before taxes would, however,
still be higher than in any year
prior to 1941.
1.-THE increase in materials
costs in the past four years and
the rise in wages, past and fore
cast, explain next years profit
position relative to 1941. At the
same time it should be remem-
bered that l94l was an extraor-
binary profit year, not only be-
cause of the large production but
also because of substantial price
increases"
The report presented these
general findings:
Il. For a given set of cost as
sumptions in a particular year,
profits rise much more rapidly
than production. Thus, a six-fold
increase in production will yield
profit l3 times higher. The diff
ferential is naturally much larg-
err between the extremes and
tends to diminish at the higher
levels of output.
~. 1912 model prices are
high enough to yield profits at
low volumes of output even
the high wage and materials
costs assumed for 1947. Profits
would be made from the manu-
process with 2,000,-
000-car output.
"3. Prices that would yield
profits at Capitalization of cap
scity have been characteristic
of this industry. The automotive
groups have experienced a loss
in only one year-1932."

Mystery
CONTINUED from Page One)

The body was in such an ad-
vanced state of putrefaction that
any accurate estimate of the VIC
Tins age or normal appearance
proved impossible, Coroner Will
liam D. Clyne said at the time.
Indications that the body had
been smothered in lime in an
effort to prevent Identification
were apparent.
DR.. LeMoyne Snyder, medico-
legal expert of the Michigan
State Police. who was called
into the case assisted DR.. v. w.
Wolfson, of Mount Clemens, in
performing the post-mortem ex-
animation.
No clue as to the woman's
identity has ever been brought
to the attention of state detec-
tives who worked on the case.
Both arms and one foot were
missing, as we'll as the head,
thus making even more diff
cult efforts to trace the victim
origin.
Theories advanced by officers
at the time conferred upon the
probability that the woman had
been slain elsewhere and her
body dropped into the head
waters of the Clinton. They be-
lieved that flood waters had
carried it to the beach where
the hiking party found it.
1t was estimated by medical
examiners that the woman had
been dead at least one year."

person, $4,000 salary, $3.50
old law, $3.50 new.
Persons with incomes less
than $4,000 can read their tax
liability directly off tables
which will be prepared and sent
out by the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
Those who have to figure
their tax will find the going
more complicated. First, the 3
per cent normal tax is put on
the same exemption basis as the
graduated surtax $500 apiece
for the taxpayer and each de-
pendent). Second, the surtax
rate is trimmed by 3 percentage
points in each bracket. Finally,
the taxpayer Is allowed to re-
duce the total normal and sur
tax obligation, thus figured, by
S per cent.
Veterans who served in the
enlisted ranks will be forgiven
all federal income taxes on
their service pay from 1941
on. Officers get additional
time In which to pay up their
back taxes without interest.

PROGRAM is HELD

The program at the County
Building was ably handled by
Walter G.. Fenton. master OF
ceremonies. who kept up the
entertainment despite many diff
ficulties. He was aided by Al
Roller and Robert H. Beal, and
Bernard VandenBossche, of the
Macomb Radio Service. provid-
ed the musical background.
John and Ken Monte, talented
accordionists, kept the crowd
lively with their spirited duet
offerings. The Mount Clemens
Dairy distributed free iced con-
fections to hundreds Of children
who crowded into their Walnut
street store.
The greasy pole feature of the
evenings program was an out
standing success. The Rotary
Clubs S5 reward went to a team
of IL youths who took Is min
utes and four desperate trys to
reach the top of the 28-foot
pole. Elmer Charbeneau was top
climber. and was boosted on a
pyramid formed by Ralph Ros-
so, Alfred Doescher, Don Weber,
Clarence Schroeder, Don and
Emmett Gallagher, Howard Be-
mott. Barney Calka, Bob Collins
and Bill Ross.
The boxing program, directed
by Coach Roy Quinn and John
Sierens, is fully described on
today's Sports Page.

whistle going at full blast from
11-Mile to Nine Mile. 1t also
had its powerful spotlight di
rected at the speeding vehicle,
and the red-lighted STOP
POLICE sign directed forward.
Gudenau and Adair were
about TO commence shooting
when Martz' auto was forced to
slow down because of other
traffic, they reported.
The hectic race-which Gud-
enau said was his fastest in a
half-dozen years of police work
reached its most dangerous
climax at M-97, Schoenherr and
Stephens road, where six roads
intersect. Gudenau said Martz
auto went through this spot at
close to 90 miles an hour, with
the police car short distance
behind.
VETERAN CRITICISES
During the chase, Gudenau
said, the two cars frequently
passed child and adult pedes-
trians bent on Halloween cele-
bration and walking near the
roadside.
When finally halted, Martz,
Gudenau said, criticised the Of
ficers for picking on a war
veteran.
LAS long as we were over
there we were heroes, but that's
all forgotten now that we're
back, Gudenau quoted Martz
as saying.
The soldier, however, said he
would admit his guilt and want
ed to pay his fine and get It
over with as quickly as pos
sible. Due to the lateness OF
the hour he was jailed over
night.
Gudenau appeared with Martz
before Justice Sam Robinson in
Center Line and, after talking
with the soldier who expressed
apologies, the chief deputy rec
commended leniency. M artz
pleaded guilty and was fined
S25 and costs.
He told the court he enlisted
in the Army in the summer OF
1941 and was in Europe two
years with an armored division.
He was a tank driver and wears
four battle stars earned in the
final battles in Germany.
Regarding his fast driving, he
said:
Il guess I just wasn't adjusted
from the battlefield to civilian
life"

Staying
CONTINUED from Page One)

Mrs. Thompson, whose Staying
Is still unsolved, was stabbed
and hacked to death on Oct. IL
and her body dumped into a
lovers lane where it was found
two days later.
A large number of witnesses,
including the Woman's hus-
band, Louis V. Thompson.
wealthy Detroit auto dealer,
have been questioned but Cap
tain Leonard indicated that none
had been able TO shed much
light on the brutal murder.
Mrs. Thompson, who was es-
tranged from her husband, was
stabbed several times by her
slayer who then tried to de-
capitate her with Ratchet or
axe, according to police theories.
Police, who had modified all
resources in an effort to crack
the Thompson case, detailed all
available officers to aid in in
vestigation of the newest kill
ing.
DESCRIBE VICTIM
The body was found caught
on rock in the Clinton river,
two miles from here by motor
lists who spied it from a nearby
bridge. -
DR.. Isaac Prevette. acting
Oakland county coroner, said
the victim was brunette five
feet, three inches tall, she wore
a wedding ring.
A purse, weighted with stones
and believed to be her property,
was found in the river and po-
lice uncovered black beret
nearby on the river bank.
Sheriff Edward K. Thomas
expressed belief the woman had
been shot elsewhere and her
body thrown from the bridge.
lone of these slayings was a
shooting with quick effort to
dispose of the body, the other
was the work of a fiend with
little or no effort made to hide
the remains. l can't see any
connection between the two
crimes" Thomas declared.
PISTOL USED
Captain Leonard said the
death weapon was .38 or AS
caliber automatic and disclosed
that medical reports showed the
gun was held close to the wom-
ans head when it was fired. No
weapon was found near the
scene and the autopsy ruled
out any possibility of suicide,
he added.
Meanwhile, Leonard and 9TH
err police officials resumed their
routine questioning of possible
witnesses in the Thompson case.
These included William jan
tito, 40, a Detroit barber and
Mrs. Marie Dodenhoft. 38, oper-
ator of beauty salon. They
were detained without charge
Saturday after police were tip
ped they had information on the
case.
Police said they would be re-
leased today unless some new
angle warranted further deten-
ton.
Captain Leonard said he
would also re-qucstion Andrew
Schevchenko, of Detroit, who
identified himself to police as
the father of the 47-year-old
Russian born victim.
