McKay, of Grand Rapids, and five other defendants were bound over for trial in the current term of circuit court on liquor graft conspiracy charges by Circuit Judge Leland W. Carr today. . Judge Carr dismissed charges against Donald Flory of Hudson, former liquor sales -representative on the grounds that "evidence does not justify finding probable cause to be- lieve he was a party to such a con- spiracy. Other defendants bound over for trial: William H. McKeighan, former mayor of Flint; Charles Williams and his son Earl J. Wil- liams, former partners in the Wil- liams Sales Co., Detroit; Fisher Layton of Flint, former partner in the Layton Sales Co., and Charles Leiter, former liquor sales company representative. The $5,000 bond set previously for the defendants was continued and they will be arraigned next Friday, July 13 at 10 a.m. Judge Carr denied motions to dis- miss charges against other defend- ants. William Henry Gallagher of Detroit, counsel for McKay, said in his motion "No evidence has been submitted to justify binding him over, nor is there probable cause to. believe he committed any crime.'"

The fig- ures cited by Mr. Phillips prove this assertion, for through March, 1945, IUSO-Camp Shows have given 178,- 164 performances before audiences totalling 113,963,755. At the request of the Army, USO- Camp Shows recently urged every New York producer to start immed- iate preparation of a legitimate play for overseas performances. The goal set before the League of New York Theatres by Mr. Phillips and Lt.-Col. Marvin Young was 20 to 36 legitimate dramas and six to eight musicals. Twelve Broadway producers respond- ed at once, and Dr. Lindsley F. Kim- ball, USO President, according to a published statement, believes that "others will follow." Plan for Post-War Period "The shows asked for," Dr. Kimball continued, "are for the 3,000,000 men now in Europe to carry them through the first six months after victory.- They do not in'clude the average of one musical and three legitimate plays a month which must also be produced for men stationed at over- seas bases." With a personnel including both great names of the theater, radio and the world of music and a host of lesser known dance teams, vaudeville artists and musicians, USO-Camp Shows units have trav- elled hundreds of thousands of miles to bring entertainment to American troops in 39 countries and areas from Alaska to the Per- sian Gulf and from Germany to the Southwest Pacific.

Production of Railroad Cars, Homes Asked He Suggests Creation Of 2,New Authorities By The Associated Press DETROIT, July 7-Walter P. Reu- ther, Vice-President of the United Automobile Workers (CIO) propos- ed in a statement today that the na- tion's idle war plants be used for the production of railroad rolling stock and modern and durable homes. He proposed the creation of two new public authorities-the "Housing Production Authority" and the "Rail- road Equipment Authority" to im- plement the plan. These authorities would be empowered to lease the plants to private manufacturers; operate government-owned plants di- rectly or lease them to workers' pro- ducer cooperatives. Willow Run Should Be Leased Along with his proposal Reuther suggested that the big idle Willow Run Bomber Plant near Ypsilanti be leased to a workers' producer co- operative which would manufacture both railroad rolling stock and pre- fabricated housing. Use of the idle plants, Reuther as- serted, would provide a minimum of. 6,000,000 jobs. Willow Run and the other govern- ment-owned plants, Reuther said, could be converted quickly to the production of sufficient rolling stock to modernize completely the nation's railroads and reduce freight costs. The new rolling stock, he said, would be built largely of aluminum, thus permitting greater supplies of steel for the reconversion of the auto- mobile and other civilian industries. Houses to Cost $3,000 Pre-fabricated houses, he said, could be produced with built-in fix- tures, including bathrooms, kitchen, garbage disposal and air-conditioning units, electric dish washers and oth- er appliances. The cost, he said, would be approximately $3,000 a home. The two new public authorities, Reuther said, could be financed by congressional appropriation as in the case of the Tennessee Valley Author- ity and by the sale of bonds and products manufactured by the auth- orities.
