Although some lots in the city are already stocked, the main supply will start to arrive this week. Several carloads are to reach the Detroit Union Produce Terminal Monday and others will arrive as the demand arises. The brighter prospect this year is expected to supply a good market for the ttees, according to Kirk Mitchell, official of the Tei-minal, but a much heavier demand than usual is expected for holly wreaths and mistletoe, he said. Along with these symbols of the holiday sea'-on, the week will bring several carloads of fruits and nuts for Christmas stockings.

Three fatal automobile crashes on Michigan highways were attributed to the obscuring mists over most of the state and similar accidents resulted in many injuries. In Detroit the fog screen made escape easy for bandits and purse snatchers. and numerous robberies were reported.

The dead in accidents were: MRS. SARAH MEXICOTTE, 58 years old. of 2944 W. Jefferson Trenton, burned to death in a three-car smashup near Trenton. HOWARD HORNBERGER, 49, of Grand Rapids, killed when his car collided with a freight train at the Eastern Ave.

crossing In Grand Rapids. MAVIS Yale, killed when his car ran off the road and overturned near Peck, Mich. Ships on the Detroit River were moored at 1 p. m. Saturday, and there were no vessel passages Sunday.

Because of the lateness of the shipping season, only a few boats were forced to seek docks. Planes Ordered Grounded All planes at the Detroit City Airport were grounded at 3 p. m. Saturday and air traffic, ended between Detroit and Chicago. Late Sunday, airport officials were still hoping for the fog to lift.

Pilots of the 107th Observation Squadron, Michigan National Guard, found the mist an opportunity to test blind-flying equipment on short, hops from the Wayne County Airport. The fog was less heavy there, officers said. Dispatchers at train and bus terminals reported that weather conditions had made no change in their schedules. United States Weather Bureau officials said that early Sunday afternoon visibility was only one-half mile and the ceiling less than 500 feet. It.

was predicted that the fog would break up Monday, although the skies will remain cloudy. The temperature, which reached 47 degrees Sunday afternoon, will probably fall to freezing, the forecast said. Woman Burned to Death The automobile accident In which Mrs. Mexicotte was burned to death occurred at 2 a. m.

The Amateur Athletic Union, at its final session today, ratified full American participation in the 1936 Olympic Games at Berlin after defeating all attempts to bring about a boycott of the games.

A. U. without opposition after Jeremiah Mahoney. retiring president and of the boycott forces, announced the severance of his connections in any official capacity with the union. The decisive vote, after two days of bitter debate, came on a pro-oosal made by Supreme Court Justicn Aaron Stcuer of New York a thiec-man commission to Germany to investigate conditions and report its flndlnss to the American Olympic Committee.

This proposal was defeated on a roll call vote of MY to 68. Allied Bodies Swing Vote Thr balance of power acain was exerted by the allied bodies, who voted Ifi to 1 In support of the pro-Olympic forces. The vote of the 31 active associations of the A. A. U.

was 54- to 43U in favor of the Steucr proposal. The Michigan delegation voted three to nothing for the Stcuer commission. After their second defeat In two dsvs, the boycott forces made no further move, joinlnu in the unanimous vote, carried without a roll rail, favoring the proposition to participate fully In the Olympics, while at the same time calling upon International authorities to keep vigilant watch on conditions in Germany to safeguard the Olympic principles of fair play and finally net 1o put the A. A. U.

directly or indirectly on record as indorsing the principles or practices of the Nazi Government. The motion favoring participation, presented by Gustavus T. Klrby. of New York, was the original "compromise" proposition, offered yesterday after a strongly worded 'boycott" proposition had been tabled. It had been sidetracked while boycott leaders tried to brinfi about the accomplishment of their objective in other ways.

The crucial vote was even closer tluin yesterday's vote on the tabling of the boycott proposition, which was carried by a six-vote Mahoney to Carry on Fight Subsequently to announcing his official retirement, Mahoney issued a statement declaring, "The fight American participation In gtmea In Germany must be continued, as the only way of pre- the Olympics ideal." He claimed a moral victory, charged nis opponents were afraid to face Supreme Court to Weigh AAA Vital New Deal Issues at Stake Today By Clifford A. Prevost WASHINGTON, Dec. ft- Arguments on the constitutionality of the Agriculture Adjustment Act, most Important of all New Deal legislation, will open before the Supreme Court tomorrow, when the Government will seek to establish the legality of its program to curtain crop production. The test will be made in the Hoosac Mills case. The fight for survival of the Administration's farm program Involves vital economic and political factors and has an important bearing on the entire New Denl.

At. stake is not only the validity of the processing taxes but also the question of Congress' power to legislate for the "general welfare" of the Nation. While the court deliberates on the AAA issues In the next few weeks, lawyers for the Department of Agriculture will continue to work feverishly with farmers to close contracts calling for a continuation of the program through 1939. They also will continue to draft new legislation designed to meet any situation that an adverse decision of the highest court may develop.

Apparently the encampment was the same which was bombed by 18 Italian airplanes Saturday in the same maneuver in which the Dessye headquarters of Kmpcior Halle Selassie was attacked for the second consecutive day. The camp Is at Borumieda, nine miles northeast of Dessye. and the Italians claimed tens of thousands of troops were stationed there. Replying to Ethiopian claims that the bombardments of Dessye were directed against hospitals, Dalian officers said that when "lanes first scouted the city they moved today from the oven where it had been cooling for a year at the Corning Glass Works.
