flight deck. He leaped CRATE
fully into the sea.
Jap strafing planes zoomed
overhead as the vicious battle
continued, and the men, wound
ed and dying, could not be pick
ed up by boats until the battle
subsidized. There were repeated
explosions as the gas and bomb
laden planes on the Bismarck
Seas flight deck fired each
other, spraying the waters with
bits of wreckage.
When the Jap planes were
driven off, the survivors were
picked up in boats and deposited
on Two lima, where they lay in
foxholes for two days while the
Marines were fighting their des-
perate battle. When the final
check came, it was officially
reported that half of the 975

FEARED CONCLUSION
"If those Japs had had bombs

killed every one of us with the

600 for a woodland section Of the
Weber estate, represented by
attorney Richard Weber, and the
smallest were vacant lots valued
at 500 by the jury. Strong OBJ
jectionS to the verdict were reg
istered by tourist camp owners
who claimed the various awards
made to them were ridiculous"
in view of the Improvements
they had installed since pur-
chasing their property.
Property owners and their
counsel, during the recess period
that followed presentation of the
jury verdict, frankly expressed
dissatisfaction with the verdict.
The claimed Inconsistency"
of the jury's evaluations was
pointed out by one attorney in
respec to three taverns condemn
ed on the airport site. All are
operating and doing business at
present, he pointed out:
In one case, the jurwy allowed
teh tavern owner $500 for inter-
ruption of business and $500 for
removal of equipment. In the
second case, the owner was al
lowed only $500 for removal of
equipment, with no compensa-
ton for interruption of business,
and in the case of the third tav-
ern, no allowance of any kind
was made.
GOOD FOR DETROIT
The jury's verdict was cited
by courtroom observers and
property owners counsel as "a
good verdict for the buyers (thc
city of Detroit)
The city Of Detroit's valua-
tons placed on the land nearly
year ago amounted to nearly
So 100000. The property owners
valuations as argued in court,
reached a total of more than
100000. The compromise
agreed on by the jury (S2,326,-
278.78) is simply the original
Detroit figure (S2 ,000,00O) plus
the enahnccd value of the prop
erty during the past IL months,
according to Statements of DO
ipctinp counsel.
The mile-Square property is
carried on the Warren Township
assessment rolls at S450,000 or
less than 25 per cent of what
Detroit will not pay for tiff
the jurys verdict i ssubstanti-
ated.
Status of the airport as a
favorable site for Detroit
postwar expansion has been
clouded recently by the report
OF a commission which recon-
mended to Mayor Jeffries that
this site be abandoned as UNI
favorable. No clear position has
been taken by the City Of De-
troit since the cimmission's rec
concentration was made.

Fatalities
Continued from Page l


a radio message 10 Car 81, the
one in which McAlister and
Davis were patrolling. He re-
ceived no answer.
He repeated the message rap
idly several times, and obtain
ing no response from the police
car, the desk officer headed to
the scene in another car.
Shocked at his discovery -
demolished police car lying
against two large trees-he inn
mediately radioed Roseville and
East Detroit police squad cars,
asking for their help. After a
quick examination revealed the
two patrolmen dead. Slower OBJ
served that the man later identi-
fled as Cromwell was living. A
sheriff's department car also ar
rived TO assist.
Patrolman Slower sped to the
nearby home of Sgt. Charles
Perkins, transmitted the news to
him and returned TO the scene
while Perkins aroused CHIEF
Champine.
Slower found Roseville police
removing the injured man from
the wreckage. He was taken to
ST. Joseph Hospital where his
condition, from serious head IN
juries remains grave.
SKIDDED 800 FEET
A survey of the accident,
made at the scene by Chief
Champine and officers, revealed
that the police car was travel
ling at fair rate of speed,
Champine said, and had skidded
800 feet before p oug h n g
through a row of mail boxes
and hitting the two trees.
Until Cromwell is able to
help us, we can only presume
the car was following reckless
driver or speeder," Chief Cham
pine said. Whether they ran off
the road trouble tire trouble or
other &C q n I a means, or
whether someone forced them
from the road is mystery up to
the present There is no curve
where the accident took place
and the patrolmen were COM
pletely familiar with the locality
and its road conditions.
The fatality was the
first death of a ST. Clair Shores
police officer in line of duty.
Nearby Crosse Pointe Parks lost
two men from bandits gunshot
wounds in 1881, and two Rose
vile officers were f t "a ! y
wounded by burglar about
eight years ago.
