HOW WIFE SHADOWED THOMPSON
Our American DUTY

IN THE House of Representatives the military
affairs committee has completed hearings on an
administration bill which would give the Presi-
dent complete authority, through a nine-man COM
mission over both the atomic bomb secret and the
source materials from which atomic energy may
be obtained.
The bill has the endorsement of scientists who
helped to make the atomic bombs.
Republican members Of the committee have
objected that the presidential power would be
"dictatoriaP and that Congress should have the
ultimate authority.

Like the fictional Mr.. Chips, the

fall term of the University Of
Colorado for a second time.
Detroit evening times., 1945-10-21

SO-CALLED "iberal" groups outside of Con-
~ gress have been demanding that the committee
hearing be reopened SO opponents of the admins
tration measure may appear as witnesses.
Meanwhile, in the Senate so many proposals
have been made that some kind Of special COM
mittee procedure is being considered.
At least part of the opposition to the pend
ing House bill was aroused by President Truman's
recent announcement that, while he favors inter-
national cooperation for the peaceful use of
atomic energy, he does not intend to "share" the
secret of the atomic bomb with any other country.
There is sound LOGIC as well as PATRI-
OTISM in the Presidents decision.

Detroit evening times., 1945-10-21

THIS country should certainly not give the bomb
secret away: and there is only one sure method
of protecting the secret with any reasonable de-
gree of assurance.
THAT METHOD is TO GIVE THE PRESI-
DENT OF THE UNITED STATES COMPLETE
CONTROL OVER ATOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
Most of the discussion about sharing" the
secret of the bomb with other nations-in the sup
posed interest of "world peace" or for any other
alleged reasons-is propaganda in the interests
of Soviet Russia.
And Soviet Russia, as the last remaining
totalitarian power, is the last nation with which
such weapon should be shared"
A TONIC energy in Soviet Russias possession
L would be used as the Red army is being used
to obiterate the liberties of little countries, to
impose the cruelties of communism upon helpless
populations and to expand Russian imperialism
through the world.
Divine Providence has made the United States
the custodian of the secret of atomic energy as a
weapon of war.
For the sake of security and for the sake of
HUMANITY this country should guard the
secret Zealously.

Efforts 10 solve the AK murder
Of Mrs. Lydia Thompson were re-
doubled Saturday. as Oakland
County officials - prompted by
several new developments-con-
tinued their relentless search for
the killer of the Russian-born
wife Of the wealthy Detroit auto
dealer.
Latest developments were these:
. Revelation that Mrs. Thompson
had hired three private detective
agencies, and sought to hire .
fourth, TO shadow her husband,
particularly on trips with his
former secretary, Mrs. Helen
Budnik.
TRYST MOVIES TAKEN
. Discovery that Mrs. Thompson
had disguised herself as a man to
shadow her husband, and had
had movies made of Thompson
and Mrs. Budnik.
. Recalling of Thompson for
questioning regarding his wife's
financial dealings, and to accom-
pany sheriffs officers to the
Thompson home at Orchard Lake
for opening of q strong-box there.
. Further questioning OF Andrew
Shevehenko, 70-year-old father OF

bility that she may have been
slain by an extortonist.
Q Reguestioning of friends of tho
slain woman.
. Questioning by Oakland County
sherif's officers of an unnamed
mysterious" witness In Detroit.
Oakland County Prosecutor
Donald c. Noggle said that
Thompson. who was released from
Pontic Jail Friday night after five
days of questioning, was being re-
called to clear up whether or not
Mrs. Thompson could write her
name in English.
WHO WROTE CHECKS?
When he left the Jail, Thompson
was quoted as saying he wanted
to find out who had made out
checks in his wife's name for large
sums.
"She spoke English fiuentIy,"
Thompson was quoted as say
ing. "and could read It we'll
but she couldn't write il at all"
Noggle declared Thompson had
never told him this, and if the re-
mark had been made "this places
new light on our investigation Of
Mrs. Thompson's financial affairs"
However, Oakland County
Sheriff E. K. Thomas emphasized:
Thompson was released In
the first place after we were
satisfied he could not have done
the job"
Sheriff Thomas late Saturday
began checking the movements Of
an unidentified man who rented a
room in Pontiac Oct II, the day
after Mrs. Thompson was muir
dered. TT mas said the man
rented the room without looking
at il from Mrs. Raymond Fortin
of 398 N. Paddock, paid S. for
one weeks rent, and never re-
turned.
SHADOWED HUSBAND
An investigation by the Times
revealed that Mrs. Thompson has
kept careful check on her husband
and his meetings with Mrs. Bud
mir, and that Mrs. Thompson on
some occasions disguised herself
as man to follow the pair.
Mrs. Thompson" a detective
agency that refused to accept
work from her stated, had
Thompson and Mrs. Budnik
shadowed constantly. Once when
she had Thompson and Mrs.
Budniek followed TO Florida,
Thompson became irate and told
his wife PH never forgive you
Mrs. Thompson had moving
pictures made of Mr.. Thomp-
son and Mrs. Budnik together
and she had a voluminous set
of reports from the detectives
regarding Thompson and Mrs.
Budnik."

ports, The Times learned. were

Head Of GIN
In Favor Of
45-Hr. Week
Saws Cut in Time
Won't Serve Purpose
Of Making Jobs
BY SILER FREEMAN

What might be interpreted as
counter-offer TO the UAW-CIO
demand for a 30 per cent wage
increase in the automotive plants
was outlined Saturday by c. Z.
Wilson, president Of General
Motors.
1t would establish a As to AS
hour work week, with z to s
per cent increase in wages and
premium pay over As hours.
Mr.. Wilson had just returned
Friday from Washington where he
talked with President Truman.
Asked if he would recommend
this as the solution 10 the current
wage dispute, Wilson stated:
II can't recommend 1t, be-
cause there is a law against it,"
CITES 40-HOUR WEEK
The CM president referred to
the 40-hour week.
Wilson said il was a "fallacy TO
think that a shorter work week
would make more jobs.
"Our production lines will
take just so many" he ex-
planned THE 30-hour work
week would mean less work and
20-hour week would mean
that nobody eats.
While all of his divisions are IN
production on passenger cars.
Wilson listed three problems con-
fronting the industry: The job Of
reconverting the workers was
proving more difficult than fore
seen; the wage-price policy was
not worked out in advance, and
the workers desired to get some
thing for nothing.
Unemployment compensation
has a great attraction for
many" he said.
HIGH SCHEDULES
While GM divisions have IN
creaslngly high schedules worked
out for production this year and
next, he said none can see more
than three days ahead on supply
Of materials.
Wilson said no prices had been
submitted for any of the divi-
isions because we haven't got the
facts" He said suppliers cannot
give GM figures on parts because
they are threatened with the 30
per cent wage increase.
Nevertheless, Wilson said the
divisions will continue TO produce
in increasing volume and stock
the dealers against the time when
the price formula is worked out.
1t does not include any provision
for wage increases at this time.
I he said.
1--WE will have prices in four
to six weeks or well be closed"
he concluded.
