Germany and Fascist Italy, our
nation instantly became coura-

enemies seemed insupeFsble, but
the nation showed its courage.

communicated itself 10 our

The conduct of the war based
itself upon nation that trusted
itself. We were brave.
DUT as our enemies sank
ID under our attacks new fears
arose.
They were cultivated and
msgnified.
Some OF them have already
been proven groundlesS.
For example, we were advised
that although our armies were
sweeping VIGOROUSLY across
northern Germany. Hitler had
organized an unconquerable de
fense redoubt' over great area
in the Austrian and Bavarian
Alps: that il was fortified and
stocked with the materials for a

Too Many Compromises

SENATOR ROBERT M. LA FoL-
~ LETTE of Wisconsin has de-
livered a timely and significant
warning to the United Nations con-
ference in San Francisco against
drawing up world charter so loaded
with unreasonable and unnecessary
concessions to Russia that ratifica-
tion by the U. S. Senate would be
difficult and undesirable.
eve have been anxious TO haze
Russia in the new World ovgdnizd-
tion," Senator La Toilette said in a
temperate but frank discussion of
the subject, "but there has been too
much of feeling that zoe had to pay
PRICE TO get her in.
The result of this, he said, is that
there have already been "too many
concession" to Russia.
at must be Dubious, he continued,
TO every American who has
matched the Developments from
Cosablanca, Quebec, Tehran, Dunn
barton Oaks and Yalta that Uirtually
every compromise has been AT THE
EXPENSE of the Uery principles TO
which we haue committed ourselves

81 feel deeply that great and
irreparabie injury is being done to
the cause of World peace and to
American-Russian relations by this
minority group Which demands

A CKNOWLEDGING that he ex.
"A poets to be the target of "a
storm of smearing villification" in
consequence of this expression, Sen.
ator La Toilette noted that he had
been among the early advocates of
American recognition of Soviet
Russia.
Nevertheless, he declared:
81 refuse to go along rDith this
Hitler-iike doctrine of total approval
and unquestioning obedience.
"This is TOTALITARIAN doc
trine.
at is un-American.
"It violates the basic concept OF
democracy.
"This doctrine Uiolates the spirit
of the Bill of Rights and the Con-
stitution."
There can be no basis of faith in
any international system, as Senator
La Toilette warns, which bows to

withdraw unless she has her way IN
all matters where she feels she has
direct selfish interest"
The concessions already made TO
Russia at San Francisco clearly con-
stitute such a yielding.
"RUSSIA'S POLICIES IN EU-
ROPE HAVE CONSTITUTED A
DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE
PLEDGES OF THE ATLANTIC
CHARTER, TO WHICH SHE SUB
SCRIBED," the Wisconsin senator
charged.
"Her arbitrary policies toward
Poland constitute clear-cut Uioiation
of the United Nations pledges
against territorial changes Which do
not accord with the freely expressed
uUishes of the people concerned =.
Russia has also Uiolated the At
iantic Charter and the Yatta agree
n,ents in other areas liberated from
the Nazi yoke; in Romania, Bull
garia, Hungary and Austria
"IN SOME OF THESE AREAS
THERE HAS BEEN DOUBLE

TIONS OF LIBERAL AND DEMO-
CRATIC FORCES ARE A HOL-

TOTALITARIANISM"
A WORLD charter envisloning

ture of compromises with Russian
dictatorship, oppression and enslave-
ment.
1t would surely fail of it's pur-
poses, even if ratified by all the par
ticipating nations; and it would fail
of ratification in the U. S. Senate, as
Senator La Toilette bluntly warns.
The San Francisco conference
has been well warned by Senator
La Toilette that it must not make
concessions to Russia of such a
nature, and so many of them, that
the product of it's labors will offend
the conscience of the civilized world
and be wholly unacceptable to those
nations of the world seeking per-
manent peace compatible with
human dignity.

prison or to an officials home,
and to go to resort cottages of
a prison official for week ends"
Dethmers said his investiga-
ton showed a system whereby
convicts could buy choice as
signments from employees or
other inmates. Prices ranged
from So to $50, he said.
He said cell blocks 5, II and
IS were "aristocrat cell blocks"
and that one inmate paid $50
for such quarters to Fox, who
then was the assistant deputy's
chief clerk. Medley also held
that post, he said.
The Attorney General said
members of certain criminal
gangs had favorable situations"
arranged for them Immediately
on their arrival in prison, that
some prisoners went direct from
quarantine to 'honor blocks"
and that private conferences
were permitted in prison offices
between "big-shot inmates and
visiting gangsters and hood
lums."
GANGSTERS CONFER
Thus, he said, Mike Selik
and other known Purple Gang
sters were permitted to come
from outside and visit in pri-
vate conference inmates also
known to belong to that gang.
Some of these men are now on
trial for conspiracy to muir
der which was entered into at
about the time Of that visit" Gle
referred to the Hooper case.)
Some inmates Dethmers
continued, were permitted the
solace of wives or sweethearts
in screened hospital beds.
He explained that for a dol
lar paid to a nurse an inmate
could be admitted to the hos
pital, by using blankets and a
hot water bottle could increase
his temperature to the point
where he could be listed as hav-
ing fever, and then a female
visitor could be brought to him
and sheet would be hung over
the door for privacy.
ENTERTAIN WOMEN

said, were transported by pris-
on employees to houses of pros
titution in the city of Jackson

Court Sustains
Conviction on
zoning Violation

Tested in Macomb County Cir
cult Court in challenge by Will
liam Robinson, of Harper ave-
nue., the Clinton Towns h o
Build and zoning Ordinance has
been upheld. in an opinion rem
dered by Judge Joseph Moyna-
han, visiting on the county cir
cult last weekend.
Robinson had appealed 20
Circuit Court against the deci-
sion of township justice of the
peace, Earl Buss, who had fined
him $25 and costs or 10 days in
Jail for erecting a garage with
out first obtaining a building
permit.
INCREASED PENALTY
In upholding the ordinance,
Judge Moynahan fined Robinson
an additional $40 and $40 added
for court costs.
The townships case was pre-
sented in court by attorney
Louis Davis, who pointe d
cut that the ordinance h a d
been in existance some IA
years and was amended in
194l, principally for the purpose
of maintaining controls on types
Of buildings and safe and ade-
quate methods of construction.
A zoning provision is attached
to the ordinance.
Davis said that after Robinson
had started building his garage
the township had affixed a stop
order" to it. The order was torn
from the garage, Davis said.
Robinson said he knew nothing
about the disappearance of the
order and said he had been too
busy to obtain building permit.
ACTIVE IN POLITICS
Robinson was formerly a can
didate on the Democratic ticket
for township supervisor. He is
employed in a Detroit factory.
Another violation of the or
dinance took place several weeks
ago, when Justice Frank E. jean
nette assessed a fine and costs
against Peter DeCaussin, of Gin
ton Township, for moving a
house without a permit from the
township. Robinson's appeal was
pending in Circuit Court at the
time.

and employees had Admitted TAX
ing inmates to such pAees. Some
stole prison produce with which
to pay prostitutes for their serv-
ices"
Dethmers said inmates were
taken for weekend party with
women to the resort cottage OF
prison official"
"One big-shot criminal in
mate" he said, was made
house boy in prison officials
home and this inmates sweet
heart was allowed to stay at said
officials home at that same
time"
The bookies operating in the
prison had other inmates acting
as runners for them, drum
ming up business inside the
walls, Dethmers said.
He declared that Medley ad-
mitted having had as much as
81 900 in his possession at one
time in prison, that a raid OF
cells Melted $500 once. An in
mate transferred to Marquette
Branch Prison had 1894 in his
possession when searched al

MAKE OWN LIQUOR
Dethmers said Intoxicating
liquor, called "spud juice" was
manufactured ION large
scale" in the prison Irvine mill
and power plant. He said one
witness testified to cleaning
cut bushels of empty whisky
and rum bottles from the sew
ers of the trusty cell block.
Testimony also shows" he
said. use of prison cars and
the cars of prison officials by
inmates for the purpose of pick
ing up whisky at O'Larry's Bar
in Detroit and returning to the
said officials home where it
was consumed by inmates and
others"
(O'Larry's Bar has figured in
testimony of the Hooper trial as
the place where the original
plot to STAY Hooper was laid.)
Dethmers said there was
''much sexual perversion" among
inmates and insufficient segre-
cation and control He said a
former prison psychiatrist, a DR.,
Woodward, resigned after at
tempting futilely to improve
conditions and that the prison
officials gave him no help.

beach tickets free; the penalty
for lost cards of schoolchildrer
Is reduced from 25 TO 10 cents
for children up to IA years, and
adult residents of Mount Glenn
ems must show their beach cards
or else pay the regular admis-
sion.
The beach gates will be open
ed promptly at 1870 p. m, Mon
days and ! p. m, every other
day until further notice.
Quinn points out that through
a. misunderstanding. no season
cards were issued to st. Louis
pupils. Any child attending this
school may inform the gatekeep-
er of this fact and will be per-
mitted to go to the beach Of
flee and obtain a free card.
Cards issued will be checked
against the schools attendance
list.
Previously, children asking
for season cards TO replace lost
ones were charged 25 cents for
this service. Quinn today reduc-
ed this to 10 cents for children
up to IA years old. Other re-
placements will cost 25 cents as
usual, the beach director said.
Lost cards are often. turned in at
the beach office.
Admission TO the beach for
Mount Clemens adults is free
if they show the beach cards
which are issued freely to ap-
plicants at the City Clerks Of

Persons not showing cards must
pay the admission rates set up
for non-residents. These are as
follows:
Pedestrian or cyclist, 10c; au-
tomobile and driver, 15c; each
auto passenger, loo, up to
maximum of 81 for any one car.
With a necessarily limited
staff, Quinn points out that it is
an impossibility for a gate at
tendant on busy days to examine
drivers licenses, ration books,
letters and other identification
of a person claiming to be
Mount Clemens resident, and
judge whether they are anthem
tic.
Tickets are freely available at
the city offices, and any respon-
sible person with proper identi-
fication may obtain a ticket for
an adult in their family, without
the necessity of the adult ap-
pearing in person. A Mount
Clemens adult ticket, if held by
the driver of car, admits the
car and all occupants free.

certain inmates. He said there
were no regular inspections Of
the prison by top officials nor
the usual raids to uncover hid
den stores of liquor, gambling
equipment or other contraband.
HAMPER PROBE
Finally, he charged that pris-
on officials hampered the in
vestigation, telling four inmates
they did not have to testify,
that the warden told an inmate
in position to give damaging
testimony II will do something
for you when this blows over,
and that prison officials con-
spired to frame the escape of
inmates and blame it on a guard
"who happened to be president
of the CIO local" when the
union pushed an investigation
in 1941 of charges of misman-
agement in the prison.
Dethmers said he took the
word of no convict as truth un-
less it was corroborated by 9TH
er witnesses. One fourth of the
100 witnesses called were in
mates and the rest employees.
He said the evidence was
gathered by Capt. Harold Null

tectives, Lieut.. Joseph Sheridan
of the state police, Special In
vestigator Seymour j. Gilman
of the Corrections Department,
and Assistant Attorney General

prison, that inmates lived in fear
of others, that the prison store
had been robbed more than
once.
RUN PAWN-SHOPS
Convicts operated pawnshops
and loan businesses within the
prison and charged exorbitant
interest rates, the Attorney Gen.
eral said.
Dethmers criticized granting
monopolies for concessions and
the manufacture of certain items
to certain inmates, asserting the
aggregate of such business was
more than 100000 a year. He
said recently the permissible
profit allowed an inmate has
been reduced to $1,000 a year.
Dethmers declared that in
mates sold their monopolies to
other inmates when they left
prison and that prison officials
helped by making mortgage
arrangements"
