fi ler succeeded in shushing Tells of His Efforts WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (A.P.) Homer Martin, international president of the U.A.W., is "scheduled for the slaughterhouse," the Dies committee investigating un- American activities was told today. The statement was that of Jacob Spolansky, a criminal investigator the staff of Sheriff Thomas C. Wilcox, of Wayne County. Previously, Spolansky had testi fied that Communists "completely dominated the C.I.O.

situation in Detroit" and that Communists were assembled in Detroit to engineer sit-down strikes for the hidden purpose of creating chaos industry. Martin Will Testify Martin has been subpenaed by the committee and will testify Friday. Chairman Martin Dies asked Spolansky at the conclusion of his testimony to report immediate to the committee if he were threatened with discipline by his superiors for testifying. "The committee is doing its best protect its witnesses," Dies said. Before he left Detroit, Spolansky declared, his superiors instructed him to "make no mention of sit- down strikes" in Detroit.

The witness said that after he had testified before the commit tee in Detroit recently, Sheriff Wilcox had told him "some dire consequences might befall me" if he continued his testimony in Washington. Blames Labor League He said a delegation from the Nonpartisan League had gone to the sheriff with a demand for his dismissal after he had testified in Detroit. I The sheriff, Spolansky said, was 'livid with rage" when he saw him afterwards but said he did not want the investigator to resign and was not going to discharge him. He quoted the sheriff as saying that newspapermen had been calling up to ask if there would be a discharge. "I asked, 'Discharge for what 7 Spolansky asserted.

The sheriff response, he said, was, "For an attack on labor. The witness said that he had informed the sheriff that he had always found organized labor com batting Communism. Rep. Martin L. pies, the chair man, opened the inquiry by read- ing and inserting the record, as background, historical matter on sit-down strikes in Italy and France.

This showed, he said, that the idea of the sit-down strike originated with the Communists there. He added that they imported the "same methods" to this country. Spolansky, the first witness, tes tified that he was a former operator for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In 1924, he left to make a nationwide survey of radical activities for the Chicago Daily News, he said, and later was employed by the National Metal Trades Association, an employers' organization, before joining the staff of the Wayne County sheriff. riease Turn to Page 8 Column 1 Six Students Hurt in Blast at School FRANKS VILLE.

The high for Tuesday was 82.2 degrees at 2:30 p. m. In the sixty-five-year annals of the bureau the highest previous reading for the date was in 1910, when the mercury climbed to 81.5 degrees. Besides topping the high for the date, Tuesday temperature went on record as the highest ever recorded here so late in the year. Showers Expected Today Showers are expected Wednes day and the temperature will go down to something more seasonal.

Pope Pius XI, giving his benediction to the Eighth National Eucharistic Congress today in a broadcast from Vatican City, said he could scarcely restrain a tear when he beheld the majesty of God held up as an enemy. Rain-soaked thousands on wooden benches in City Park Stadium heard the Pontiff's words just as George Cardinal Mun delein, of Chicago, had ended the solmn high pontificial mass which formally opened the Congress, The Pope spoke for six mln utes in Latin.

Then his words were translated into English and rebroadcast from the Vatican, Sees Ifupe for Future Although he said that there were many things giving him cause for fear and anxiety, the Pontiff added that he say a promise of things for the universal church ui the "reflower-ing among all peoples of eucharistic love." "In particular," he said, "we see many men who hold as valueless and reject and spurn those divine precepts of the Gospel which alone can bring salvation to the human race. Scarcely can we refrain from a tear when we behold the eternal majesty of God himself set aside and out raged, or with unspeakable wickedness held up as enemy to reviling and to execration." More Than Score of Casualties There were 28 casualties ranging from riogbite and fainting to a broken leg in the course of the. mass, the most solemn and elaborate religious ceremony ever seen in this city. It began In bright sunshine with the majority of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in America seated in the sanctuary in their copes, mitres and purple vestments. Later in the morning rain drenched the 50,000 faithful, laymen, priests and nuns.

The ground on which they stand once was the jollicst place on the island. When Hendrick Hudson came here in 1600, the spot was covered by a beautiful pond, fringed with mighty trees. The Dutch called the pond "Kolch," meaning fresh water.

Like the Dutch, the English used the pond as a winter skating place. But the pond saw more than happiness. On its shore, the Dutch erected a gibbei. The English, too, used the spot for hangings. And the Americans, in 1830, followed precedent by draining the pond and building a prison.

Pretty Suspect Named by Spy Woman Called Agent of Nazi Service NEW YORK, Oct. 18 (A.P.) A red-haired German woman, calmly chewing gum in the prisoners' row in Federal Court, late today heard herself accused of being an authorized agent of a German spy ring which plotted to steal vital American defense secrets. Testifying for the Government, Gucnther Gustav Rumrich, 32 years old, United States Army deserter and confessed $40-a-week spy for the Third Reich, for the first time accused the pretty de fendant, Johanna (Jenni) Hof- mann, 26, when he swore she was a messenger for the espionage syndicate. Fraulein Hofmann eyed Rumrich without missing a beat in her gum-chewing. Described as Messenger Rumrich testified that Karl Schlueter, a fugitivo defendant and alleged contact man of the spy ring, had told him that Miss Hofmann belonged to the bureau of messengers of the German intelligence service.

The witness Said he handed over to her photographs of the United States cruiser Houston in the Panama Canal locks for delivery to the Berlin headquarters of the. ring. Rather lamely, he added that he had bought the "secret" photographs in' a store in the Canal Zone. Rumrich earnestly detailed ramifications of a seemingly fantastic plot against Uncle Sam's military defenses, including an abortive scheme to lure a United States Army fort commandant to a Manhattan hotel and overcome him with gas from a fountain-pen weapon to otnain momnzation plans for the coast artillery on the Atlantic Seaboard. Says Was raid Rumrich said that Schlueter had told him of paying $2,000 to an unnamed person in the Curtiss-Wright airplane factory in Buffalo, for the plans of "some kind of aviation device." The witness also introduced the name of Miss Santa de Wanger, a comely Government witness, for the first time in the trial.

He said that Schlueter wanted him to locate Miss de Wanger because "she was known to him and his superiors from a previous experience in 1935, after which she had to flee to Canada."

Michigan and Eastern motor centers where Generals Moiors has assembly and parts plants will be particularly benefited. The salary restorations, effective Nov. 1 and applicable only to domestic operations, affect about 30,000 salaried employees. Mr. Sloan's statement follows: "Approximately 35.000 additional workers will be given reemployment by General Motors during the next two weeks.

"Our new models have been well accepted. There appears to be a greater interest than existed a year ago. This is evidenced by the attendance at the showing of our new cars as well as by the number of retail orders actually received. Predicts Gain in Buying "This leads to the belief that the trend of consumer buying, when retail deliveries of new cars can be made to customers in volume, will be found to be substantially Improved over that existing during the past few months. "Therefore, the corporation feell justified in increasing its car-production schedules by revising upward the plans made last summer, as well as in readjusting its general operating program to a higher level of volume.

And, notwithstanding that the circumstances now available are indications as distinguished from facts there being no real way of judging th depth of the better demand now manifesting itself. "The salary readjustment will take the form of restoring the compensation of those receiving $300 a month or less to the level existing Feb. 28, 1938, when the reduction herame effective.

Murphy to proclaim a state of emergency and forbid smoking or exposure of any fire in the hunting areas unless a general rain fell before tomorrow night soak the tinder-like hunting grounds.

Smokers' carelessness was blamed for most of today's fires. Duward Robinson, assistant chief of the Conservation Department's Field Division, returned from an aerial survey of the hunting area with a report that more than 100 fires, possibly 200, were burning in various stages of control. Rising of Wind Feared Fire fighters, plagued by smoke and midsummer heat, said any unusual rising of the wind would undo what work they have done.

A request for volunteers to fight the fire brought more than 100. The fire, after raging for more than six hours, was confined to a small area at 8 p. m. Robinson said he counted 25 or 30 fires in Tuscola and Sanilac Counties; several west and south Jackson in Jackson County; while Eaton, Oakland and Ingham counties each had Beveral that could not be counted or defined accurately because the smoke spread an almost Impenetrable nianaet tftat hovered at the tree-tops.
