The payments were ordered by the City Council on the application of Welfare officials who apparently were unaware that such medical costs had been assumed by the Government.

Hofmann, came to an end Tuesday in Circuit Judge Ormond F. Hunt's court after the plaintiff telegraphed that the case could be dropped. A jury was chosen Monday and the case was to have been heard Tuesday. Instead Walter M.

Nelson and H. B. Zirkalo.se, attorneys for Miss La Verne, entered court with a telegram which bore her name. In it was stated that she was in Indianapolis, unable to appear for the hearing, and that if the case could not get along without her she recommended that it be dropped.

I I I to Pension Claim PONTIAC, June 20 A battle for the estate of Christian Leidich, travel agent in Detroit for 30 years until his death several months ago, is being waged here between Mrs.

Will Reva Leidich, the widow, and Barbara Walters, an employee in the travel-agency office for 27 years. Judge Dan A. McGaffey has appointed Burton P. Daugherty, Frank Wood and Goodloe C. Rogers as claims commissioners to take testimony.

Miss Walters asserted that Leidich and his first wife, who died several years ago, had agreed that when she completed 25 years' service with them she was to be retired at $100 a month. She stated that she lived with them and aided with the domestic work in addition to her duties at the office. Following the death of the first Mrs. Leidich and Leidich's marriage three weeks later to his present wife, Miss Walters was forced out of her job in 1931 after she had completed 27 years' service with the company, she testified. She said, however, that she had been paid $900 on account toward her pension of $100 a month prior to Leidich's death.

Miss Walters is asking $21,000, or $100 monthly, for the remainder of her life as computed through her probable life expectancy. Mrs. Leidich was questioned briefly, as she met Leidich long after the reputed agreement was made. Daugherty stated Tuesday night that additional testimony was to be taken before a decision would be given. Russians Painted as 111 and Hungry Engineer Tells About Sectional Privation Those American lecturers and writers who make a hurried swing around the larger cities of Russia and come back here with a pleasant picture of conditions there are doing Russia harm rather than good, in the belief of John K.

Cal-der, of Dearborn, one-time engineer in charge of Ford Motor Co. construction, and the man who has traveled Russia probably more than any other foreigner. Leaving there six weeks ago after spending the greater part of the last five years under Bolshevist rule, he gave to the Detroit Ki-wanis Cluh luncheon at the Hotel Statler Tuesday glimpses of more remote places where stark famine and gaunt disease mows down thou-unds and where the living are forced to cannibalism, he feared. "In Central Asia, in Turkestan and Kazakstan, I never saw such conditions," Mr. Calder added.

"Out of 15,000 men I had working for me. I lost 6.000 In a few months to starvation and disease, such as typhus The Dearborn engineer confirmed stories of famine also in the I'kraine, the granarv of Russia, Two years ago the Government took awav from the peasants prac-; tica'Iv all the bumper crop they 'grew that vear, so the peasants last 'year ate th seed grain furnished to them, he explained. 75 Czechs in City En Route to Fair On the way to the World's Fair at Chicago some 75 visitors from Czechoslovakia arrived In Detroit Tuesday. The tourists, of whom 25 are women, will visit the Ford factories and Detroit's Czech colony, numbering some 50.000 persons, and will leave here Wednesday afternoon. Manufacturers, physicians and lawyers are included in the party, which will witness at Chicago a gymnastic exhibition in which 3.000 men and 3,000 women of Czechoslo-vakian origin will Join.

FLINT, June 20 William Terwil-liger. the "poor boy companion" of Balfe MacDonald, refused to testify in Justice Court today against his chum, in the examination of Balfe on a charge of murdering his mother, Mrs. Grace B. MacDonald in her Crescent Drive home May 27. Risking contempt of court on advice of his attorney, Ralph M.

Freeman, former Genesee County prosecutor, Terwilliger told the prosecutor ln answer to each question, "I refuse to answer," or "I won't answer." Later his confession alleging that Balfe admitted to him on their trip South that he hit his mother several times with a book-end, was introduced into the record over the objections of Defense Attorney Clifford A. Bishop. The sixteen-year-old boy from whom Balfe found it almost impossible to break despite his mother's reiterated objections to Terwilliger, refused to answer such simple questions as "Do you know Balfe MacDonald?" Prosecutor Transue, reading from Tcrwilliger's statement to the police In Oak Park Station, formulated the outline of the statement and received the same invariable refusal to answer. Contempt Order Refused Prosecutor Transue demanded that Justice Frank Cain hold the youth in contempt of court, but the Judge declared that the boy is now in jail and "there is nothing more that can be done to him now. He will remain In jail until we find out the law applicable to his case.

Balfe has undergone an emotional change In the last four weeks. Topics that brought tears to his eyes four weeks ago in the environment of his own home, Tuesday left him dry-eyed. The night, before his mother was killed, Balfe sobbed when Detective Charles Raab, juvenile officer In charge of boys 17 years of age and under, referred to Balfe's father and had Balfe promise to give up all of his chums, even Terwilliger. Today Detective Raab, on the witness stand, told of the conversation In the dimly-lighted living room of the MacDonald home, an 1 Balfe was unmoved, with his head buried In his arms. His almost somnolent court room posture, maintained since the beginning of his examination, has forced all of the State witnesses who knew him to identify him by the top of his shaggy black head.

Prophecy Comes True "You won't always have your mother," Detective Raab told Balfe in the course of a lecture of more I than an hour at the summons of Mrs. MacDonald on May 26. The hackneyed warning invoked by an older generation to impresj a youth proved to be an acuratc prophecy a few hours later, when Mrs. MacDonald was beaten to death in her bedroom. The State contends that it was her only son Balfe, who a few hours earlier made up with her and promised to reform, who used her favorite pertifled wood book-ends to cause her death.

Detective Raab told of advising Balfe and finallv uettinr? him to agree to give up the companions to whom his mother objected. He said that at first Balfe was willing to break with all except Terwilliger. "Bill and I have always been friends and I won't give him Balfe told the officer, according to the testimony. "I asked him why he could not get along at home and he said that he just could not get along with his Detective Raab testified. "He said that she took away the car and made him stay in at nights.

1 told him that everything she had done was for his own good and his companions should be dropped, because I knew some of the things they had been doing. He said he wanted to work in an automobile factory designing cars and I told him he would have to finish his schooling. He mentioned a college in Illinois that he preferred." Lawyer Criticize Sleuth Attorney Bishop insinuated In his cross-examination of Raab that the officer had lectured Balfe for more than an hour, finding fault with everything the youth did and i holding up the example of someone else as being continuously right, Three doctors, Coroner Frank I Johnson, Harold F. Grover and Isa- BATTLE CREEK. June 20 t'nited Spanish War Veterans, in state encampment here.

Tuesday unanimously adopted a motion asking the convention committee to attempt to reach an arrangement for convening with the allied veterans organizations in the future. The Spanish War veterans withdrew from the other groups last year. The allied organizations have selected Grand Rapids for their 1934 meeting place, but the Spanish War veterans are likely to meet in either Detroit or Jackson, effecting a resumption of joint sessions in 1935, if possible. The 1934 city will be selected Wednesday. Former Gov.

Fred W. Green addressed the veterans Tuesday noon. Green was "nominated" last night for United States Senator, to run against Senator Arthur Vanden-berg. He Indicated that he "would not disapprove" of the idea and also voiced a suspicion that somebody will make it hard for Mr. Van-denberg to be re-elected.

Velfare Disputes Raise an Uproar Rouge Mayor Closes Session Abruptly The long squabble over Welfare administration that has split the River Rouge Council three and three threatened to turn the Council session into an open fiRht Tuesday night.

The meeting was cut short by Mayor Arthur L. Valade who voted with his faction for adjournment. T. Roy Finn, City attorney, had read an opinion from Attorney General Patrick H. O'Brien, upholding the legality of appoint ments made by Mayor Valade on May 23 when he shook up his entire administration and moved Councilman Grove J.

Thorn from the Welfare Department to the Department of Sanitation and inspection, replacing him with Councilman Percy Balcom, a Valade supporter. Councilman Arthur Greig Immediately charged that Finn had given the Attorney General a distorted picture in order to gain a favorable opinion. The Mayor leaped to his feet and accused Greig of not acting in the public interest in seeking an injunction to prevent appointment of a salaried Welfare director. Hearing on the injunction was held Monday before Circuit Judge Ormond F. Hunt who is expected to rule on it Wednesday.

Greig also has circulated referendum petitions to fight the salaried Welfare director plan at the polls if Judge Hunt denies the injunction. Valade bitterly denounced Greig's luetics and then before the Councilman could reply called for adjournment and ended the session with the chamber in an uproar.

Comstock laid plans for removal proceedings against all five of the officials engaged in the feud. "I am inquiring into the legality of surh a procedure and the method of giving the commissioners a hearing," the Governor said, "hut I have not yet made a decision. An announcement can be expected within a few days." The appeal to the Supreme Court for intervention was made by Commissioner Edward T. Fitzgerald, of Detroit, after a controversy with his colleagues that started a year ago. Fitzgerald has charged the other members with favoring utilities, with refusing to reduce rates although testimony has warranted cuts, and with ostracizing him from his ollicial duties.

barge Deliberate Ik-lay On numerous occasions, the Detroit member has asserted that the Commission is deliberately delaying action on the Detroit Edison case, although testimony was completed nine, months ago. The Michigan Bell Telephone hearing, which was renewed a year ago, is another costly procedure that haa not benefited subscribers, he has pointed out. In his petition to the Supreme Court Commissioner Fitzgerald complained that the other four members have not permitted him to attend meetings and have denied him access to official records. Those accused are-. Commissioners Kit K.

Clardy, Harry McClure, Harold J. Waples and Robert H. Dunn, all Republicans appointed by former Gov. Wilber M. Brucker.

Fitzgerald asked the court to issue a writ of mandamus compelling his colleagues to notify him of meetings, to keep accurate minutes of the sessions and to give him unrestricted access to all records.
