Jail !


Continued from Page One)
Sheriffs and Building commit
tees meeting with the City of
Mount Clemens. to see If we
can't have decent accommoda-
tions.
"The chairman referred my
motion to our two committees
three months ago, and they were
supposed TO get figures on the
Jail expansion and report back, :"
the East Detroit supervisor as
serted.
County Controller Sherwood
j. Bennett, clerk of committee
meetings, then produced min
utes of the meetings described
and claimed that there had been
no specific instruction to "get
figures and report back"
Bennett said although unin-
structed in that respect he had
checked on some figures, such
as plumbing costs for Jail ex-
pansion, and said that the lat
ter would be about $4,000.
MENTAL WARD
The controller commented that
mention had been made at a
meeting that the State Welfare
Commission might permit, as
temporary measure, that keep
ing of insane persons at the
county farm, but no further
word on this subject was avail
able. Bennett said that was the
extent of the joint committees
progress,
Van Hoeck asked why nothing
had been done about accommo-
dations for women, and Bennett
replied that he did not recall any
instruction regarding women,
but only about insane persons.
Frank comment on the dual
committees failure to produce
results was made by Supervisor
Earl Tallman, of Warren Town
ship, chairman of the Building
committee:
"It's true, gentlemen, this
thing hasn't been pushed too
hard recently, simply because
we were all busy with our tax
assessment rolls. Now the tax
assessment problem is over and
we should 60 into this Jail ques-
ton thoroughly.
VITAL QUESTIONS
"The question in my mind Is
whether we should 60 ahead and
throw more money into the old
building or maybe do something
quickly about new accommoda-
tions. In any case, we must have
figures on costs and that should
be done immediately" Tallman
said.
Tallman suggested that the
Sheriffs' and Building commit
tees 60 into the Jail problem i'm
mediately and "do whatever is
necessary to eradicate condi-
tions."

Taxes


ing from 5 mills per 81 900 valu'
alton for Mount Clemens to 5.7l
for Lake Township, the boards

alton unit in the county at the

to $50 mills for each one.
This millage tax would raise
the following amounts in the
principal units as follows:
Mount Clemens, $79,978.43.
warren Township. $l24,-
456.22.
Lake Township, S70,849.l6.

Prime Minister Churchill and
five other representatives OF
each government.
Russian and British proposals
at Potsdam were believed to be
much more numerous than
those offered by the United
States, in view Of the more de-
tailed policies of the two coun-
tries regarding Europe.
The momentous conference
swung into its third day to all
on a note OF har-
mony. Chief American interest
centered in what steps the three
statesmen might take to expe-
dite the unconditional Surren-
der of Japan, and if the report
of the Presidents offer is true,
much has been accomplished to
speed the work Of the confer
ence.
The President was reported to
have told Prime Minister Chur-
chill and Premier Stain that
the u. S. government would
give full support to any reason

putes, stabilizatien and rehabili-
tation.

p. m. last night (Japan) time
and kept blazing away until
early today. On a clear night the
Mikado standing in his palace,
SIS miles to the north, could see
the flashes of their guns.
RIP SHORE DEFENSES
Targets were shore defenses
around the point at the SOUTH
ern extremit of Boso Peninsula
forming the western arm Of
Tokyo Bay. The bombarding
force, of undisclosed size, in
cluded the new cruisers Topeka,
Oklahoma City, Atlanta and
Dayton, all built within the last
two years, and the destroyers
Ault and John w. Weeks. It was
the fourth Naval bombardment
of the japanese homeland with
in five days.
Across the entrance to Tokyo
Bay American carrier planes
Tokyo said there were $50
streaked out of murky skies
down on the Yokosuka Naval
yard and an unannounced
number of warships.
These sequestered remnants
of the Japanese fleet probably
were cruisers and destroyers,
perhaps camouflaged and alrea-
dy damaged from previous
American assaults.
But they put up intense and
accurate anti-aircraft fire. Tok.
20 claimed 40 were shot down.
Poor visibility prevented recon-
naissance planes from finding
out how much damage was
done.

identify the window of his pri-
vate office.
"The left hand window was
daddy's office" Mrs. Hooper
said.
Between questions, she looked
full at the four defendants sit
ting before the bar, and as she
left the witness stand she walk
ed slowly past their seats and
looked them full in the face
again The court room was tense
and hushed.
Earlier the jury had heard a
second state witness testify that
Hooper was killed to blot out
his testimony before the Carr
grand jury.
Al kurner, mustached, a "a
year-old inmate of the State
Prison of Southern Michigan,
testified near the close of the
third trial day Wednesday that
he was told by Sam Abramowitz,
aother state witness. that they
were to kill man to silence
him because he was testifyinR
against some big politician"
1t is the contention of Special
Prosecutor Kim Sigler that
Hooper was assassinated last
January IL to prevent him from
telling in open court a story of
legislative bribery swhich he
previously had recounted to
aides of the Carr grand jury.
OFFERED $1,000
Recounting that Abramowitz
offered him $4,000 if he took
part in the planned killing, Kur-
ner told the jury that he asked
for the motive behind the crime.
Abramowitz, Kurner said, ask
ed if II had seen anything In
the papers lately, not about De-
troit, but about Lansing"
81 said I had seen something
about some riff-raff, some poll
ticians, who were having quite
a row with Judge Carr" Kurner
said he replied.
That's It," he quoted Alb
ramowitz as saying.
He told rae I'd have to 10
along with him. He did not
specify the place but said It
would be about two hours from
Detroit. He had been up there
and nearly froze to death. He
said they are going to see this
guy and IL he didn't come to
terms we'll have to bump him
off. They were going to try and
reach him with money"
OBJECT: SILENCE
Kurner went on: HE told me
he was supposed to silence him
because he was testifying against
some big politician"
The witness said that Abram-
owitz mentioned this politician
(the victim) had an office and
we were supposed to get him
right there"
What do you mean get
him." Sigler asked.
"Shoot him." Kurner said
calmly.
Kurner said the proposal wa,
made to him in the notorious
O'Larry's Bar in Detroit where
Henry Luks,E previous state
witness. testified that similar
proposal was made to him by
two Of the defendants accuset
of conspiracy to murder Hoop
er: Harry Fleischer and Mike
Selik, described by police a.

other defendants are Sam Fleish-

Until the vital needs of the
armed forces are filled. tin can
not be diverted to industries
which are now prepared for
partial or full changeover to
civilian production. This factor
will have q direct bearing on
employment for thousands of
men and women In this area,
Titus points out.
Government officials point
out in making the present urgent
plea for tin that the Japanese
have cut off 80 per cent of this
nations normal tin supply, and
that the only tin mines, to which
Americans have access are the
housewives kitchens.
TOKYO NEEDS TIN
In the present drive for tih
Americans are being invited to
join in the bombing of Tokyo. AZ
the B-29 crescendo Of destruction
increases towards the 1000
plane raid stage, the public is
asked not to forget the problem
of critical materials. One bomb
carried by the Super Fortresses
contains 81 lbs. of pure tin and
the shower of bombs from each
raid of 400 to 500 B-29s adds up
to several tons of the critical
metal.
The merciful side of the tin
shortage is emphasized in the
tin collection appeal. Tin is es-
sential for use in containers for
medical supplies, blood plasma,
emergency rations, phone and
radio equipment and thousand
other items. This is more i'm
portant in the Pacific than in
the European Theatre Of War,
due to the fact that tropical heat
and dampness requires that al
most all supplies be encased In
tin.
The Mount Clemens commit
tee points out that all cans should
be cleaned, opened at both ends
and flattened. They should be
placed at the curb by midnight
Monday.

entered the Naval reserve.
Chief Brown emphasized that since
