three years in that office. The
tumult seemed to be getting
beyond control when Steele re-
linquished his post as the pre-

Owens, pastor of the church.
Notwithstanding that the meet

Fisher Bid
Revealed

COMPLETE MARKETS
PAGE I5
BY WARD SCHULTZ

A deal whereby the Fisher
brothers were to have invested
more than $S,5o0.o0o in the Hud-
son Motor Car Co., was revealed
today by A. E. Barit, president of
Hudson
He revealed that a New York
banker, B. A. Thompkins, came to
the board with an offer that the
Fishers would buy 100000 shares
of unissued Hudson stock at the
book value of S22.51 share.
"He told me that IL we didn't
accept the offer today, they
would block our annual meet
ing" Barit said.
ANGERED BY TIEDEMAN
The disclosure followed a move
by Carsten Tiedeman, regional
director of the WPB and a stock
holder, to get a postponement OF
the meeting.
Although Tiedeman said that
the delay was necessary to con-
slider certain DEAL" he refused
to give details. Opposing his
action, Barit angrily gave details
and demanded that the meeting
proceed on schedule and that the
proposed slate of directors be
elected.
Barit contended that the new
board could consider such an
offer" but that thorough investi-
cation into the values involved
was necessary before any decision
could be made.
HOPEFUL OF FUTURE
Barit said that there were many
reasons why the matter should be
studied.
"We have a lot more than ap-
pears on the surface" he said.
"Our plants, which cost S40,-
100000, are carried at S14,-
100000: our good will should be
considered, and then we're en-
tering a period Of almost certain
good business. We should de-
termine whether the Fishers
have anything To contribute and

man pointed TO the value of the
Fisher name and reminded stock
holders that Hudson's record has
not been too good in recent years.

they're not interested at this
time" he said, referring 10 the
statement issued by them Sat-

Willow Run

r J. Thomas, UAW-CTO presi-

Ford Council that an unnamed
manufacturer of small cars had
plans for purchasing the Willow
Run plant.
The revelation was made at an
emergency meeting of the council
in the Fort Shelby Hotel attended
by 100 delegates representing
10000 Ford workers in 30 plants
throughout the country.
Thomas said that he received
a stupid" answer when he asked
Washington officials what was TO
be done with the bomber plant
and the next day read in the
that it had been Of
fered TO him.

they are not then, through the

Thomas explained later that he
was speaking figuratively when
he said he would make the gov
ernment an offer. meaning that
the offer would be made for the
manufacturer.
LASHES AT CONGRESS
Thomas also lashed out at Con-
gress and government bureaus in
which he described
as 'lackadaisical"

something about this re-emplOy-
ment," he shouted. 81 want all

He said that employment in
