Dethmers Will
Press Case in
Prison Clusters

LANSING, Aug. 2-(P-At-
torney General John r. Deth-
mers, who leveled charges OF
maladministration against sew
en- officials of the state prison OF
southern Michigan, will press
those charges personally before
the state Civil Service commits
sion when it hears the dismissal
cases Of the officials.
After a conference with Gov
ernor Kelly and Leslie P. Kef-
gen, of Bay City, chairman of
the State Corrections commits
sion, Dethmers said he had
been invited by Kefgen to re-
present the corrections agency
at the Civil Service hearings.
Earlier, Civil Service authori-
ties said Dethmers would be
welcome if he desired to appear.
Dethmers also agreed to per-
sonally draw the formal charges
to be filed with the Civil Service
commission against the deposed
prison officials: Warden Harry
II. Jackson, deputy warden
George l. Francis, assistant dep
uty warden D. c. Petit, H, c.
Watson, director of classified
ton. Joseph G. Poirier, account
ant of inmate funds, chief in
spector Walter L. Wilson and
Richard Riley, prison athletic di-
rector.
Dethmers partially cleared up
the key issue of whether inmates
and employees Of the prison, who
testified secretly against their
former superiors, would be
brought into the Civil Service
Commission dismissal hearings.
"In keeping with the Ameri-
con process" Dethmers told
newsmen, 1.-The accused has the
fundamental right to be faced by
his accusers. ! subscribe to that
and have no desire to ever do
anything differently, but want
to work out the details of how it
will be handled"
Dethmers said he could not
promise complete disclosure of
the witnesses until he had con-
suited with the Civil Service Of
ficials to determine how much
evidence they would demand,
with the new prison administra-
ton to learn what effect those
disclosures might have on prison
operation, and with some of the
witnesses themselves, who testi-
fled under problems they would
be protected from retaliation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-R)
Rep. Daughton (D-Va.) said
today that unless the army COM
plies with his request to tell how
much food it has stock-piled, ne
will appeal to the White House.
Asserting that II think it is
q fair assumption we are over
stocked" Daughton said Gen.
Brehon Somervell, chief of army
service forces, had not respond
ed to a request of nearly three
weeks ago for an inventory of
army food stocks.
Daughton told a reporter he
wrote a second letter to Somer-
veil yesterday noting that II
have not as yet received the
courtesy of a reply" to a letter
Of July 10, and adding:
ENTITLED TO KNOW
"The people of this country
are entitled to know how much
food has been set aside for the
armed services. I think it is
a fair assumption that we are
overstocked."
(Army officials have said that
il their food reserves were re-
turned to civilian channels the
amount would not be sufficient
to feed the nation for one week }
Daughton said that unless the
army supplies the data he re-
quested, he will ask President
Truman to get it when the chief
executive returns from the Big
Three Conference.

Labor Disputes
Effect 10000
Throughout U. s
BY the Associated Press

Labor disputes halted or cur
tailed production In at least 80
businesses and industries today,
keeping approximately 10000
men and women away from their
Jobs.
One Of the newest strikes was
at the Brier Hill plant of the
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Com
pany in Youngstown, O., where
1900 workers were idled after
80 maintenance men quit work.
CLIO United Steel Workers
spokesman said the strike by
the maintenance men, which be-
gan Monday night, was unau-
thorized. The dispute arose,
company spokesman said, after
men refused to change a line
shift.
Milwaukee, garbage collec-
ton and disposal service was
back to normal today after end
of a 31-hour walkout by ITO
employees over wage rates and
job reclassification.
Three daily newspapers In
Birmingham, Ala, which have
not published for three weeks
because of a walkout Of union
printers, have started q lir,ited
free want ad service. It embraces
only rented living accommoda-
tons and lost and found articles,
and was announced In radio
news broadcasts. Want ads are
being accepted In the regular
manner and will be relayed by
telephone to other callers.
A labor dispute at the Gen.
eral Motors Chevrolet plant In
Norwood, O., idling $50 en-
ployes, was referred to the Re-
gional War Labor B o ard In
Cleveland, said George H. Bell,
Federal Cancellation Commits
sioner, after plant management

Workers remained deadlocked.
The walkout started July %

He said that surveys have shown
that present facilities linking
the two cities carry from 5000
to 10000 vehicles a day.
Richard Harfst, General man.
ager of the Michigan Automo-
bile Club, said the proposed new
highway would serve 100000
persons in the two cities and the
counties through which it would
pass. 1T is one of the strategic
links in the military system OF
highways, as designated by the
United States War Department
h said.
"a feature of the highway,
which will make for speed, IA
cility and safety" Harfst add
ed, "is that access to it and from
it will be strictly controlled,
with eventual complete grade
crossing elimination. The high
way will consist essentially Of
two divided roadways which
will separate opposing streams
of traffic. According to national
design for the interstate system,
the right of way will be wide
enough to provide for the ex-
pansion of roadways as future
traffic requires and, at the same
time, protect the highway from
undesirable commercial en-
croachments, without interior
ing with purely service facili-
ties"
Harfst predicted that new
superhighway would add SUBJ
stantially to the 100000 car
loads of tourists who annually
enter Michigan from Wisconsin,
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio.
Samuel c. Hadden, OF 1ndi-
annapolis, former chairman OF
the Indiana State Highway Com
mission, has been engaged by
the sponsoring organizations to
devote his full time to expedit-
ing the development and early
construction of the new high
way.

DETROIT, Aug. a R -
Plans for a Detroit Chicago ex-
pressway as part Of the annual
billion dollar postwar highway
program were announced here
today at q conference OF high
way officials and civic leaders
under the sponsorship Of the
Automobile Club of Michigan.
simultaneously a similar
meeting was held in Chicago un-
der the sponsorship of the Chi
cago Motor Club.
No specific routing for the
new road was presented, but 1t
was pointed out that. some i'm
portant elements of the highway
already are in existence such as
the Willow Run Expressway
that extends southwest of De-
troit for II miles. The final To-
cation of the route will be de-
termined and detailed plans de-
veloped by State Highway Com
missions and the Public Roads
administration.
The shortest present route, &C.
cording to the tourist bureaus OF
the Detroit and Chicago motor
ing organizations is 273 miles
by way of US-112 and US-20.
Ordinary gaveling time Is esti-
mated at seven hours.

the young lieutenant will al
ways recall wildly the one mis-
sion (Which he thought was his
last) when he had to pilot his
flax crippled bomber out of
Germany and succeeded in saw
ing it in a forced landing near
Cambria, France.
Most of the missions over Ger
many were rough, he admits,
especially two raids on Berlin,
but the Jan. IL mission, in which
his BIZ was badly shot up will
remain topmost in his mind.
Duckert reported recently to
Santa Ana, Calf, for re-assign-
ment, looking forward to a tour
Of duty in the Pacific. In the
week he was to be re-assigned,
the AAF ordered all BIZ and
B-24 pilots on the re-assignment
list at that time, released from

While overseas, 1t. Duckert
was stationed with the 457th
Bombing Group of the Eighth
Air Force in England.

Throngs View
5e|fridge Field
Four Singled Out
on Air Force Doy'

Of the thousands Of visitors
who thronged Selfridge Field on
Wednesday, for the first "open
house" held during wartime
years, four were favored with
special attention by the Army
Air Forces, and no one in the
big gathering resented this ex-
ception.
The four were:
Van Wallace, of Mount Glenn
ems, we'll known Notre Dame
alumnus who has been bedrid-
den since a Gripping accident
at Venice Beach about ID years
ago;
Elwyn (Red) Rapp, formerly
of Roseville, similarly handi-
capped in a motorcycle accident
a decade ago, and now vastly
improved and earning his liv-
ing by matchmaking;
Norman Peltier, Mount Glenn
ems victim of infantile paralysis,
who now operates a successful
shoe repair business, and
Neil Loving, young Negro pi-
lot of a Civilian Air Patrol plane
who lost both legs in a crash
near Utica during 1914. Neil,
who is said to hold the all-time
popularity among st. Joseph
Hospital patients, is 6 ct t ng
around on artificial limbs.
Anticipating the thrill of a
close up inspection of Uncle
Sans aerial might, the cour-
ageous quartet a week ago made
elaborate plans to visit Selfridge
when the "open house" occasion
was announced. Van was to ride
in his ambulance presented to
him by the Notre Dame Club Of
Detroit), and between the am
bulance and a private automo-
bile the three invalids were to
be transported to the field, to-
gether with Mrs. David Van
Wallace and two st. Joseph Hos
pital nurses.
Fearing that crowds would
jostle them from advantageous
spots at the Selfridge Field
show, and realizing that their
Wheelchair and ambulance pro-
gress would be difficult the
quartet, through this newspaper,
asked Selfridge authorities for
help.
The Air Force viewpoint was
aptly expressed by one officer
when he said:
cts not only a pleasure but
a privilege to help in this case.
The boys will have a personally
conducted tour, and you can bet
they'll enjoy every minute of
it,"
The army's Public Relations
Office took the quartet under its
wing, and Chaplain George Kha-
lii, Protestant chaplain at the
air base, met them at the chapel
and conducted them to points of
interest during their two hour
tour.
To the army chaplain - and
to thousands of others in army
uniform and civilian clothes
the "wheel-chair squads" visit
was the most thrilling highlight
of Air Force Day, the 38th an
niversary Of military aviation.

Truman Delays

For Simultaneous
Announcement Cited

President Truman told news
reporters today that he could
make no statement on the sur
render of German forces in Eu-
rope until it could be issued
simultaneously with others ex-
pected from the British and Rus
sian governments.
Observers regarded this an OBJ
vious explanation of the White
House silence, in the fact Of Asso-
ciated Press reports from Rheims
that Germany had surrendered un-
conditionally.
A statement dictated to reporters
by Jonathan Daniels, White House
press secretary, said:
81 have agreed with the London
and Moscow governments that I
will make no announcement with
reference to surrender of the enemy
forces in Europe or elsewhere until
a simultaneous statement can be
made by the three governments.
Until then, there is nothing !

ment that tomorrow Is We day,

ment we have"
Newsmen Called by Daniels.
News and radio reporters who
had thronged the White House
since early morning seeking some
word on reports from Europe that
the Germans had surrendered I'M
conditionally were called to Mr..
Daniels Office at 1853 pm.
AS reporters clustered around his
desk, Mr.. Daniels said that he had a
statement by the President for the
press and radio and then read Mr.
Humans brief announcement.
The statement by the President
was the only official notice that the
White House has taken of the re-
ports of Germanys collapse.
White House Paths Cleared.
Several hundred persons, many Of
them carrying The Star announcing
the surrender, gathered in Lafayette
Park opposite the White House tt
wait for more news. Capt. Herbert
Marcy, chief of the White House
police, doubled the guard on all gates
and ordered the crowds kept on the
other side Of Pennsylvania avenue
from the Executive Mansion.
Earlier bystanders had been al
lowed to press their noses through
the White House fence and ask
police and official visitors for more
information. Shortly after noon
Capt. Marcy closed the sidewalk in

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE
United States and Britain were
reported by United Nations Con-
ference officials today to have
demanded of Russia that she
supply her evidence against the

The aim is to break the latest

1t is part of a strategy sidetracking
the Polish row from the main line
of the conference in order that the
Big Three may try for maximum
unity in designing world organi-

The goal is to shift the dispute to
Washington, London and Moscow
in getting from the Russians full
explanation of the arrests. Presi-
dent Truman and Prime Minister
Churchill are reported to have in
tervened directly with Premier
Stain.
Russian Foreign Commissar v. M.
Molotov is now slated to leave San
Francisco for Moscow around mid
week. So long as he is here, specu-
lation continues that Russia may
give the conference sensation by
making known her future plans
toward Japan. The COLLAPSE of
German armies has stimulate& this
speculation. For any such mdmen-
