Reds to Try 18 Poles
GIRL JAILED
n HOOPER CASE
18 Poles
In Russia
LONDON, June 14 (UP)-Mos
cow announced tonight on the eve
of a Polish conference in the
Soviet capital that the Russians
had finished investigating the
case of a group of Poles arrested
by the Red army and would sub
mit it to a Soviet court within
a few days.
The Moscow radio said 18
Polish leaders, instead of the 16
reported by other sources, had
been afrested in Poland last
March. They were accused of
diversionist activity against the
Red army.
Moscow said a Soviet prose
cutor had entfed his inquiry into
the case.
The brief Moscow report did
not identify the 18 Poles nor ex
plain the discrepancy between
this number and the 16 reported
by Polish source*.
Observers regarded it as no
mere coincidence that Moscow
should report on court proceed
ings in connection with the Polish
case a day before Big Three and
Polish representatives in Moscow
were to open a conference.
A Moscow dispatch said the
conferees probably would set up
a new unity government for
Poland, with Stanislaw Mikolajc
zyk of the London delegation as
premier. Mikolajczyk was for
merly premier of the Polish exile
government.

Union Battle

IBuilding Job
A long threatened clash be
tween the UAW-CIO and the AFL
over reconversion Jobs broke into
open battle today with the AFL
stopping all work on the construc
tion of a $2,500,000 addition to
the Dodge truck plant in Mound
road.
Jurisdictional fights between
, the two unions could paralyze all
! reconversion work in the Detroit
area, labor experts say.
! The AFL served notice on the
Chrysler Corp.. owners of the
plant, that the “building will
never be built In the first in
stance” unless the corporation
complies with the following ul
timatum
"That th»* (hrynler Corp.,

it I# completed."
CIO WANTS JOBS
The UAW-CIO had previously
served notice on industry that it
will not tolerate AFL workers
performing any installation jobs
that could be done by UAW-CIO
workers.

against the Chrysler Corp., as

Wyoming Site
Gaining Favor
Objections of neighboring residents to the
Wyoming-8 1 2 Mile road airport site are rapidly
dissolving as details of the plan are explained to
interested individuals and groups, it was said today
by Donald S. Kiskadden, a member of the Board of
Commerce group urging the site’s adoption.
“I believe that virtually the last vestiges of
opposition will disappear within a few days when we
complete a map showing the pattern of air travel over
that vicinity,” Kiskadden said.
“The map will show, I believe, that most residents of
the area will be less disturbed by airplanes than they are
now by the planes which fly over their homes en route to
and from the present city airport.”
A survey by The Times indi
cated that not more than 75
homes would be within sight of
the Wyoming-8 Vi Mile port.
About 45 of these would be Oak
Park homes which are within the
general boundaries proposed
(Wyoming-10 Mile, Greenfield and
B’a Mile). However, the 45 homes
are in a section that would not
be close to runways or buildings
and so could be allowed to re
main.
FEW FARM HOUSES
Except for a half dozen farm
houses and bungalows, along the
bordering roads, the only homes
in sight of the port would be those
in the »ection of Huntiogton
Woods near 10 Mile and Coolidge.
About 15 of these are in sight
of the area, although most are
two to four blocks from the 10
Mile road border. Airport com
mittee officials pointed out that
the runways would not extend to
10 Mile and that the administra
tion buildings would be at least
one mile from all borders of the
field.
WOULD RETURN FUNDS
The 45 Oak Park houses that
would remain would be about half
of those now standing on the air
port site.
Representatives of Oak Park
met yesterday with members of
the board of commerce committee
to discuss the effect choice of the
site would have on their village.
The committee assured them that
Oak Park bond issue funds, w’hich
have been spent in improving the
site, would be returned to the
village through the condemnation
proceedings.
Except for the Coolidge-10 Mile
sector, Huntington Woods homes
are separated from the airport
site by the Rackham golf course
and the Detroit zoo.
WOULD FIND BUYERS
Kiskadden declared he believed
that few, if any, Huntington
Woods homes would depreciate in
values because of the airport.
“I believe that any one desir
ing to sell a home in that area
will find eager purchasers
among the airline executives
who will wish to live close to
the airport,” he said.

Held by State

BATTLE CREEK, June 14—A
waitress who is described as being
the girl friend of ex-Purple gang
ster Harry Fleisher is being
held as a witness in the Hooper
murder case, it was revealed
today.
Special graft grand jury Prose
cutor Kim Sigler said that the
waitress. Miss Jeannette Welker,
is a close friend of the former
gangster, who is one of four
charged with conspiracy to plot
the murder of state Senator
Warren G. Hooper.
ARRESTED IN DETROIT
The girl, according to Sigler,
was arrested in Detroit after
she gave important information
concerning the whereabouts of
Fleisher on Jan. 11— the day
Hooper was shot as he drove
between Lansing and Albion, hie
home.
At the request of Sigler, Cal
houn County Circuit Judge Blaine
W. Hatch ordered Miss Welker
held under $5,000 bond. The
judge asked Miss Welker if she
had anything to say and she re
plied:
“Well, I’ve always co-operated
with the grand Jury.”
ASKS SHE BE HELD
Sigler interjected that it would
serve the grand jury’s purposes
best if she were held and added
that this would be for her own
protection.
The prosecutor referred to Miss
Welker as "Fleisher’s sweetheart”
and said she had been seen with
him since the grand jury started
to probe Hooper's murder.
Both Fleisher and Mike Selik,
another defendant in the con
spiracy case, were sent to jail for
contempt of court because they
