Thousands Pay tribute
To Henry Ford in Quiet
Greenfield Village
lr rti» AtseciatMl Pw
DETROIT, April 9. - Henry
Ford, honored in death M he was
in life, received the final tributes
today of his fellow citizens and
workers.
Tn this Greenfield village Mr.j
Ford s body ray In state where j
thousands could file past the bier
of the industrial genius who died
In hi* Mth year of a cerebral hem
orrhage Monday night.
At Greenfield Village were many
of the things Mr. Ford loved, in
cluding the little white frame house
in which he was born on a farm,
only a few miles from the acres of
factories and laboratories that con
stitute the parent plant of the Ford
Motor Co.
It was to this culet spot in the
midst of the roaring industrial scene
that, the Ford family, keeping Its
grief to itself, invited the public to
share In the respects to the automo
bile magnate.
AH Walks Pay Tribute
they came today, the grimy me
chanic from the automotive piant,
the graying men and women who
followed Mr. Ford* fabulous rise
from the obscurity of life on a farm
In Detroit’s suburbs, and the titans
of industry who paid tribute to s
dangerous but respected foe.
First to file past the lily-banked
coffin were three unllormed plant
protection men: there were other
old-time Ford workers; adults and
children: the line stretched out to
the gate leading into Greenfield
village Recreation Center. The ltne
wound out for several hundred feet
before the gate was opend at 8 a.m.
Company officials would not guess
at. the size of the crowd at Green
field Village, but said it might run
into the hundreds of thousands be-1
fore the day was done.
Mr*. Ford )s Stoic.
Mrs. Henry Ford, who with a
member of the household staff, was
alone with her famed husband when
death came at .11:40 o’clock Monday
night, was reported today to be
bearing her bereavement stoically.
She will be 80 years old on Fri
day, the day that will also mark
the 59th anniversary of her mar
riage'to Ford.
At midnight tonight, the vast,
Ford industrial empire will halt
activity and only the lamps of
watchmen will light the plants
• cross the Nation and across the'
world. I
Ernest R. Beech, executive vicei
president of the Ford Motor Co.. I
said production will not resume
until midnight tomorrow' in respect
>0 the tall, angular man who built
a *28,000 firm into an *800,000,000!
industrial colossus.
Tomorrow', the bodv of Mr. Ford
will be borne to downtown Detroit
for funeral services at St. Paul’s
Episcopal Cathedral on Woodward
avenue.
Again the family has invited the
public to participate in Anal homage.
Burial Will Be rrivale.
After the services, however, thej
body will be taken quietly and in i
private to a tin*', iron-fenced ceme-j
rery on the farm where hr. was
born and where other generations!
have been laid to rest. There the ;
family alone, including the widow j
with whom he was to have cele-1
brated his 59th wedding anniversary |
Friday, will mark his passing.
Employes of the funeral firm will j
roll the casket to the grave on
mechanical devices,"the family ex
plaining that,-to recruit pall bearers!
would tax too many pe'rsons too far!

The little Addison Ford Cemetery,
where Henry Ford will be buried

headstones are dusted by ashes from

Greek Guerrillas Are Believed
Backed by Big Supply of Arms
By Constantine Brown
Star Foreign Affairt Artaly**
ATHENS (By Mail).—Estimates
of the strength of the Communist
military forces which are supporting
the Greek guerrillas operating from
Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania
vary from 100,000 to 250,000. The
general headquarters is located at
Skoplje, Yugoslavia.
Guerrilla equipment captured so
far consists of modern small arms
and some mortars and light moun
tain artillery. But the Greek general
staff is aware that the most up-to
date equipment, including in all
probability airplanes, can be brought
into use from Bulgaria and Yugo
sia via.
Russia's lines of communications
to the Greek border pass through
Romania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia
and are free of interference. More
over, the Soviet, military authorities
have never taken Bulgaria’s war
material, in spite of many American
and British demands that, this be
done. The excellent equipment which
Adolf Hitler sent to the Bulgarian
armies is intact and can be aug
mented, if necessary, from the huge
stockpiles of war material which
Russia captured from the Nazis else
where.
1J. S. Must Send Equipment.
The Greek Army can be supplied
ivith new implements of war when
md if Congress passes the “aid to
Ctreece’’ bill. But the equipment
must come principally from the
United States and transportation will
be a long and tedious operation.
Thus the Greek leaders feel that
the security of their country, which
»t this time takes precedence over
the much-needed economic and po
litical reconstruction, depends In
fact on what Moscow will decide to
lo within the next few months.
If the Politbureau feels that it 1s
to Russia's political advantage t.o
continue to stir up Greece, it will
plant, symbol of the. motor empire
that Henry Ford created.
Not far awav is Greenfield Village
where is preserved the little red
brick building in which, as a young
mechanic, Mr. Ford worked on his
first automobile.
Nearby also is the sprawling, high
hedged Ford estate where he lived
in semi-seclusion for many years
md where he died quietly, in a flood
created atmosphere reminiscent of
bis birth. Mr. Ford died by the
Itckering light of kerosene lamps,
n a building heated as in his child
hood by the warmth of open flre
ilaces, because electricity at the
•state was shut off by floods.
Disposal of his great persona] andj
orporate holdings became a matter;
»f speculation almost with the first’
lassing of the shock of his death. |
He had a personal fortune esti-'
nated at upwards of 8200.000,000
nd, jft addition, he and his wile I
vere understood to hold 58 per cent j
if the stock in the Ford Motor Co. 1
Presumably, most if not all of
■ hese holdings will go to the widow.
The remainder of the stock is as
sumed to be held by Mrs. Edsel Ford
ind her lour children, Henrv II,
39-vear-old president of his grand
father’s firm; Benson, William and
Josephine Ford.
A comoanv spokesman s#td it
would be ‘a week or longer'’ before
filing of the will would even be con
sidered. Tt might be years before
fhe estate is completely disposed of.
That of his only son, Edsel, who
died in 1943. is still being probated
as far as is known publicly.
Mr. Ford built his greRt wealth
with an original investment of
$28,000 in 1903 when he created the
Ford Motor Co. He was reported
to have declined an offer of *1,000,
000,000 for the firm later.
But his great wealth fascinated
the world less, perhaps, than the
genius of a slim mechanic who mass
produced the motor car and placed
it within the reach of the average
American.
His companv over the vears pro
duced approximately 31,000.000 auto
mobiles.
He also was known for his struggle
with finance and labor and for his
startling 1914 edict in which be fixed
the minimum dallv wage at the
Ford plant as $5 per day.

drop a hint to Marshal Tito, the
supreme Communist leader in the
Balkan states, to “let nature take its
I course.” This means that the Greek
! guerrillas, who actually are Rus
j slan-tralned and organized troops,
I will get a green light for full-scale
, warfare against the Greek govern
1 msnt.
i The political and military leaders
in Greece appear to be unanimous
. in the belief that the Greek Army
i is not capable of successfully resist
ing a major onslaught.
British Troops Are Bright Spot.
The only bright spot in the pic
ture, which assumes that Russia's
answer to President Truman’s
speech will be to unleash the guer
rillas before the Greek Army can be
strengthened, is the continued
presence of about 10,000 British
troops in this country.
This force is regarded as the
token of the western powers’ de
termination to prevent Greece from
falling behind the iron curtain. The
British do not have much fighting
power in Greece, but their mere
presence serves as a warning to the
Communist leaders on Greece’s
frontiers that if they tangle with
the British they thereby involve
themselves with all the western
powers.
The answer to these problems
which harrry the Greek government
will be known this summer. The
mountain passes which connect
Greece with her neighbors do not
lend themselves yet to major oper
ations. It will be late April or
early May before climatic conditions
oermit more frequent and larger
raids into Greece.
If the British government, keeps
its troops in Greece until the end
of summer the storm which is
Ihreatening may be averted. But it
the British withdraw soon anything
can happen, exactly what will be
decided by Moscow.

Mood of Futility Rules
Big 4, Heading Info
Fresh German Issues
ly NewboM Noyes, Jr.
Star Staff Carmaantlant
MOSCOW, April 0 —The mood
here today, so far as this meet
ing of the Foreign Ministers’
Conference is concerned, is one
of complete futility. Everybody
is wearing the same exdfession.
It is that of a man who keeps
asking himself, “How long, oh
Lord, how long.”
Secretary of State Marshall made
this mood official* at yesterday’s
meeting. He clearly Indicated that
the main concern of the American
delegation is now to get finished
with these “interminable discus
sions” on points of hopeless dis
agreement—to push on through the
agenda, establishing our various po
sitions on German and Austrian
ouestions. and then to so home.
If we can at least cover t.he
ground and And oilt where we stand,
he said in effect, we may have bet
ter luck next time.
With strong support from British
Foreign Minister Bevin, Gen. Mar
shall has managed, at least tem
porarily, to get the stalled confer
ence under way again. The Min
isters are moving on today to the
problem of Germany’s future fron
tiers.
Lacking any semblance of agree
ment on such basic and immediate
occupation issues as an economic
policy for Germany, the Big Four’s
discussion on this problem, as on
all remaining problems on the
agenda, is bound to be purely ex
ploratory. The question our dele
gates are asking themselves, how
ever, is whether it will be possible
to keep the conference going now
‘that it is started again. Or will
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov,
who bowed yesterday before the im
patient pressure of his colleagues,
go back to the business of trying
:to hold up the Council as long as
possible on each point of disagree
ment?
No one Is too hopeful today that
Mr. Molotov has really reformed.
He succeeded, during the past week,
in creating the clear impression
that his game is to stall on every
point. His hope seems to be to
l force Gen. Marshall and Mr. Bevin
i Into a position where, if they are
| to avoid spending another month or
;so finishing the agenda, they must
[take full responsibility for pushing
things to a quick formal conclusion.
Molotov Plays to Germans.
Meanwhile, looking forward to
the day when we and the British do
take this responsibility. Mr. Molotov
is missing no chances to play to the
German grandstand. He apparently
hopes to create the illusion that
everything would have been rosy in
the German future had it not been
for the “intransigeance’,’ of the
Anglo-American stand here.
Many of Gen. Marshall’s advisers
are worried about the effect of suciii-'
propaganda on the German mind,;
and this largely accounts for the;
meekness with which we have been'
putting up with Soviet delaying:
tactics.
There is, however, one point In:
our favor as the discussion moves j
ahead today. Prom now on, there!
are no really good talking points!
for Mr. Molotov. None, that is, on!
which he can pose convincingly a?!
the would-be savior of the oppressed
Germans.
Must Argue For Poland.
This afternoon, for instance, he;
roust argue for Poland's right to
hang onto large slice of Germany’s]
richest farmland. This argument;
can hardly appeal to the Germans]
as strongly as has his eloquent plea
for a politically centralized Reich.
Nor is there any real propaganda
value for him in the last three items:
on agenda discussion of a proposed
demilitarization pact, the coal prob
lem and the Austrian treaty,
No matter how firm his opposi
tion to our Idea of the four-power;
pact to keep Germany demilitarized,1
he will hardly base it on the con-1
tention that Germany should be
allowed to arm. And his stand on]
ccal and Austria is unlikely mate-j
rially to increase Russia’s popularity
with either the Germans or the;
conference on an Issue which will;
permit him to keep playing his'
little game with the German public.

Quality Street ...
Is a One Way Street
There are no two ways about quality ... no detour* and no short
cuts. There is only one way to make good clothing . . . the hard
way, the Quality way. For any other and easier way could not pro*
duce the calibre of clothing you find at Lewis & T hos. Salte. That
which you find here today is still of the very best ... possessing the
same intrinsic Quality and character, the same careful workman
skit) and the same exclusive styling. You may find fewer style*
now, but never will you find that quality has been sacrificed.
Lewis & Tho9. Salts clothing will always be made to the highest
soecifications. As fine as Freeman, Oxford and Lebow can make
them. Our credo is quite simple ...not how many, hut how well.
