DETROIT, June 18 UP) A
freak June tornado struck
viciously Monday night Into
southern Michigan and adjacent
Ontario, Canada, and left be
hind today a death toll of at
least 17 and more than 100
injured.
Searching parties hunted
through a one -hundred foot
path of devastation in Canada
for possible additional victims.
The identified dead totaled 13,
but hospitals in the Windsor
area reported at least "seven or
eight" other victims critically
injured and near death.
River Rouge, Mich., a Detroit
suburb and home of the huge
Ford Motor company Rouge

of the tornado shortly after 6
p. m., but tiny Sandwich, Ont.,
bore the full furv of the blast.
Property damage was expect

Hundred Homalaii
Hundreds of persons were
homeless as the wind toppled
their homes like so many straws.
Business establishments were
wrecked, autos tossed about
like playthings and bodies of
the victims were buffeted as the
tornado reached its zenith.
It zoomed across the Detroit
river, the suction of the tornado

Tire Prices
WASHINGTON, June 18 MP)
OPA today authorized an imme-
uiHie increase or 3.3 per cent in
retail ceiling prices for passen
ger car tires.
The same percentage increase,
granted to offset producers' high
er wage and materials costs,
also was granted to manufactur
ers and wholesalers. It also ap
plies to motorcycle tires.
The new retail ceiling for the
popular size 6.00-18 4-ply pas
senger tire, which OPA said rep-
iv per cem oi all passen
ger tire sales, is $15.70 on a
notionwide basis. This is an in
crease of 50 cents.
The higher prices apply only
to tires sold for replacement pur
poses. Last week OPA granted
manufacturers an increase on
tires for new cars, but auto
makers were not permitted to
pass this on to the public in
higher prices for new cars.
Under today's order manufac
turers' and wholesalers' ceilings
for truck, bus and industrial re
placement tires are increased by
the equivalent of 1.4 per cent
of exisUng retail ceilings.

Jet With Speed Of 5 Miles Per Second

The army lifted the edge of a
blueprint briefly today to dis
close a fantastic weapon that
may develop into a defense
against atomic rockets or ar
mored space ships laden with
A-bombs. ,
It is a jet of molten metal
which has an initial velocity of
almost five miles a second.
Although still in the research
and planning stages, the possi
bility of the horrendous new
weapon has experts in the army
ordnance department enthusi
astic. They conclude that adapt
ing it to a robot anti-atomic sky
defense is going to require a bit
of doing, however.
The first hint of the molten
Jet was dropped in a dully
worded war department -announcement
(with Einsteln-lsh
overtones) which reported that
postwar research of the ord
nance arm is gradually outmod
ing many standard weapons
used in the World War of a
year ago.

Von Papen said he was so con

position.
As Possible Atomic Defense
MaJ. Gen. Everett S. Hughes,
chief of ordnance, is of the
opinion the high explosive bul
lets and projectiles that fighter
pilots pumped into enemy air
craft probably will be replaced
in a few years by the new high
speed metallic Jet, traveling at
an initiial velocity of 25,000 fee1
a second.
This molten metallic jet
comparable in a way to what
jumps out of a tooth paste tube
when squeezed, a patient ord
nance spokesman explained
would travel at such a high speed
that it couldn't be detected.
That is, it would go right
through the armor plate of u
plane flying an atomic bomb.
Or it could punch an atomic
rocket right on the nose.
If the jet travels at 25,000
feet a second and that speed
is known to be possible its
spurting flash of molten metal
could catch up with a V-2, for
it travels at only SOOO feet a
second. A bullet lags at 3000

Attorneys for tha former

The documents contpndod
that Von Papen, a German dlp-
luinai ior inree decades, worked
with George H. Earle, former
fiovernor of Pennsylvania and
ater assistant U .S. naval and
air attache in Turkey, for a ne
gotiated peace with the United
States and other allied powers.
Baron Kurt von Lersner, for
mer president of the German
peace delegation at Versailles,
sent a statement to the tribunal
describing his personal effort
to end the war, and adding:
"When in April, 1944, the op
portunity presented itself to me
to establish contact with George
Earle, former American ambas
sador in Vienna and Sofia, and
a friend of President Roosevelt
with whom I had already been
personally acquainted for a long
time, Vu,. Papen helped me in
every possible way."
A statement also was offered
by Count Gottfriend von Bis
marck Schoenhausen, describ
ing a conversation with Von
Papen on November 23, 1943,
in which the prospects for a
"change in government for Ger
many and peace negotiations
were discussed."
Another statement said the
plotters against Hitler in the
July, 1944, attempt on his life
nad planned to ask Von Papen
to open peace talks with the al
lies if the plot succeeded.

Hostage :
JERUSALEM, June 18 m-L
A reliable informant aaiH fnnr
British officer were kidnaped
today from an officer club at
Tel Aviv by a dozen Jewish ex
tremists armed with tommy,
guns.
The new outbreak of terrorw
Ism spreading throughout Pales
tine came after a wild night in
Haifa when nine Jews wer
killed In a pitched battle after
they attacked the central rail
road shops. The deaths during
gunfire and 15 explosions at tha
railway yards raised the toll in
recent days to 18 deaths.
The informant reporting the
kidnaping at Tel Aviv said the
bandits were believed to be
member of the Jewish ex
tremist organization, Irgun Zvai
Leumi. The British officers
were believed seized as hostage
against the impending execution
of two Irgun members, sen
tenced to death last week for
participating in a raid last
March on a British army camp.
Taken for Rid
The dozen terrorists raided
the Hotel Yarkon, which has
been a leading officers club in
Tel Aviv for several years.
Their victims were blindfolded
and forced into taxicabs, the in
formant said. ,
The underground Jewish ra
dio said at the weekend some
countermeasure would be taken
against the death sentences Im
posed on the Irgun member' by
a military court in Jerusalem.,
While the battle of the Haifa
rail yards proceeded last night,
two unsuccessful attempts were
made to bomb trains and halt
them.
Palestine police said the en
gineer of a train between Haifa
and Lydda ignored a red flag
waved on the tracks two miles
north of Lydda. Shots rattled
around the cars but no casual
tie were sustained.
Min Exploded
Other reports said a land
mine exploded near Khanyuniff,
between Gaza and the Egyptian
border frontier In the south, just
after an oil train passed. Re
ports said the rails were re
paired and service on the Lydda
Kanatara main line to Egynt
was not interrupted.
Latest advises from Haifa said
the railway shops-and a power,
house were destroyed last night.
A locomotive was ruined. Po
lice continued to Cordon off tho
