Wages


timated at "eight to 10 per
cent"
A Union spokesman declared
that a large minority" of GIN
workers would not get any in
creases under the company's
plan.
Anderson said the company
proposal would boost wages of
all hourly rated employees up to
30 per cent above what they
were receiving in the same Job
classification Jan. ], 1941. He
explained the increase would be
based on the amount of cost of
living adjustment given individ-
ual employees.
ATTACKS PROPOSAL
Walter p. Reuther, UAW-CIO
vice president. assaIled what he
termed inflationary results of
Sucn proposal.
Asserting the Union will not
be a party TO sand-bagging the
American consumer" Reuther
said General Motors refused to
offer ANY increase-even one
per cent with the agreement
that they would not seek price
increases on the basis of the
wage raise"
Anderson replied that it was
up to the corporation, not the
Union, to decide whether 1t
should seek price increases to
offset any wage boosts.
Lacking assurance the compa-
ny would not seek price hikes to
compensate for the $40 per cent
offer, Reuther said such a
course as the corporation pro-
poses would limit the sale and
production of cars and pave the
way for initiation and q quick
depression"

ing that the Lions club wanted
immediate action and that the
offer was too good to refuse.
The Commission finally
agreed on q compromise and
will ask the Lions club through
Angelo Fisher, who made the
original proposal. to meet with
the Planning group in the near
future.

bonds. II was pointed out that
this could be done simply by
passing a resolution and that the
cost of the system would be
betrayed by assessing the users
small each month. The cost
would be put on the water bill.
CITES SIMILAR CASE
After some discussion of the
matter, the engineer declared
that the revenue bond resolution
has already been taken TO the
Supreme Court and upheld by
that body. He added that Port
Huron was recently forced TO
issue revenue bonds totaling
more than a million dollars to
pay for their system.
Augmenting his statements,
Lorin Oeming of the Stream
Control Commission said that
the state could compel the city
to build a sewage disposal plant.
He said that although not a
sufficient number of people have
been injured 10 date by the flow
of sewage the case would come
TO a climax when more than 3d.
600 people used the beach.
It would then become a mat
ter of public health and the city
could at once be forced to build
a disposal plant.
HOPE FOR EARLY START
Although the city commission
took no action on the revenue
bond issue, City Engineer Ernest
I. Pettingill said that materials
would not become available for
some time yet. He said that 1t
was hoped that work on the sew
age disposal plant could begin
during the summer OF 1946 and
be completed by the summer OF
1947.
This announcement was prais-
ed by the Authority representa-
tives who said that the beach,
which is Americas sec n q
largest, would be opened by
1948 and that they could now
proceed with their plans as or
iginally mapped out.
p, K. McWethy, another Au-
thority engineer, said that they
planned to build a bath house
this year after the dredging 1oo
now underway was finished.
ACTION IMPERATIVE
w. F. Shepard, chief OF the
Division Of Sewers and Sewage
Disposal Of the Michigan De-
partment of Health said that the
city Is now the last on the Gin
ton River to have method OF
disposing their sewage.

was advisable at this time 10

planned to do to alleviate the
unsanitary conditions at Huron

He said that q resolution had

May Exhunle
Victim Body
Thompson, Young
Probes 60 Forward

PONTIAC, Mich, Nov. 8 -
(P) - A possibility that the
body of Mrs. Lydia Thompson,
victim of a brutal lovers lane
Staying last month, may be ex-
humed for denomination was
to be discussed at a conference
of police officials today.
Meanwhile, Oakland county
authorities awaited the arrival
of Lawrence j. Theis, 20, who
waived extradition in New
York Wednesday to return here
for questioning in the shooting
of Mrs. Alberta Young, wife of
Port Huron army officer.
State Police Captain Donald
S. Leonard, chief investigator of
the murder of the 47-year-old
Mrs. Thompson, said the re-
study might be ordered after
police and medical authorities
confer on some aspects of the
case.
WOULD CHECK WOUNDS
"We are particularly inter-
ested in some slight stab wounds
found on the victims body and
may want to exhume her to de-
termine more about them and
also to re-study her head to re-
assess the damage caused by
blows from her murderer"
Leonard explained.
The state police official said
there was no doubt that Mrs.
Thompson had been brutally
murdered in the lonely lane
where her body was found by
some hunters on Oct. 10,
Previous reports indicated
she had been slain elsewhere
and her body dumped into the
lane, but Leonard said that po-
lice had found considerable
blood stains in the area and
were convinced she died there.
Leonard disclosed that police
now have theory that Mrs.
Thompson, wife Of a wealthy
Detroit auto dealer, was blud-
geoned into Inconsistencies and
brought to the death spot about
Oct. II.
BADLY SLASHED
Autopsy reports showed she
had been struck several times
with hatchet or axe in a crude
attempt at decapitation.
Leonard said he had no
knowledge of a published re-
port attributed to state police
pathologist DR.. Clarence w.
Muehlberger. who was quoted as
saying Mrs. Thompson may have
died "a hours before the time
police now set as her death
hour.
1--WE haven't got anything SEN
sational or anything up our
sleeve as we r.an for this new
study" Leonard told newspa-
permen.
"It's just part of our general
plan to re-examine every one
and everything connected with
this case and we are going to
keep plugging until we get a
break" he added.

which might be available to

All decisions of the planners
will be published as arrived at

work is accomplished.
Although the prime batch of
proposed projects was not de-
fined, 1t is understood that "sev-
en- or eight" principal studies
for building and expansion are
now under way.

is frank in admitting that he
helped "get out the vote" for
successful commission candi-
dates James Trombley and John
Stevens.
LAYERS said that he was UNI
aware of any ruling or regula.
ton that prevented him from
taking citizens interest In
municipal government affairs.
He pointed out that election day
was his day off from work and
he felt free to help Trombley
and Stevens, both former police
men, whose abilities he had adj
mired for many years.
ON PROBATION
The suspended employee was a
volunteer fireman for seven
years and had served five
months of six-month proba-
tionary period. Attorney Fran
els said Chief Eckhout had in
formed him that the suspension
without pay is no reflection on
LAYERS capabilities as an eni-
ploye while on duty.
Francis said he had been
shown a regulation" by Eek
hout forbidding employees t o
work for election candidates or
take an active part in politics.
The attorney said he could find
no authority for the order in the
Village Charter.
Il contend that any such reg
ulation is in contravention of the
constitutional rights of fireman
or other employee Francis as
serted today.
He said that he had asked
village president Robert E. Har-
rison whether he had ordered
LAYERS suspended and Harrison
had denied any connection with
the matter, but had promised q
hearing at the commission meet
ing.
BACKED LOSERS
In defending LAYERS, Francis
injected a note of criticism rela-
tive to Harrison's published en-
dorsement last week OF the two
defeated commissioners:
IF non-interference In pollti-
cal matters applies to firemen, 1t
should apply to persons IN
every other city department,
Francis said.
"At the same time, when the
village president. whose office Is
not even on the ballot at the
election, publicly injects himseit
into the election in support OF
two candidates, I cannot feel
that any criticism of a prooa.
tionary firemen is justifiable'
the attorney said.
Defeated commissioners ROD
ert Barton and Edmund Llndef
denied that they had entered
any complaint regarding cleo
ton activities of any village en-
ploye, and both said that they
sought to be good losers with
sufficient craftsmanship to re-
frain from any such tactics. Both
said they had not observed any
village employe working on
election affairs.
LAYERS, a son-in-law OF Ad-
rian A. Lingemann, former presl-
dent whose administration was
ousted by Harrison's, claimed
that his relationship to Linge-
mann was a motive. for his sus-
pension. He also said that ne
felt sure Harrison was concern
