Rieder FLORIST 38 South Paint St. 'Key' to Prosecutor Says Trial Doubtful Now DETROIT (P -Prosecutor Gerald K. O'Brien said today "the key witness to the solution" of the fiveold attempted assassination CIO President Walter Reuther has escaped a protective police guard and to Canada. O'Brien said the witness saw the shooting and was one of three "assigned to the job," although he didn't fire the shotgun blast that maimed the labor leader's right arm and all but killed him. "It was mainly on the witness's warrant was issued earlier this statement, O'Brien said, that a week charging four men with assault to murder and conspiracy to assault with intent to murder' Reuther on April 20, 1948.
The prosecutor said he had corroborating evidence, but none from the shooting scene. Two in Jail Two of the four named are in jail, one is under $25,000 bond, and the fourth is sought. The warrant also lists four unidentified "John Does." Without the missing witness, O'Brien doubted he could convict any of the four named. O'Brien identified the key witness as a Canadian, but wouldn't reveal his name. He did say, however, the witness had been employed as "a slugger" by one of the four accused and was an exconvict.
Police Commissioner Donald S. Leonard said the witness shook his two policemen-guards at a downtown Detroit hotel around 10:40 a.m. yesterday. He left the water running in a shower and presumably slipped out through a reception room into which both his living and bedroom opened. His guards were in the living room.
O'Brien said the witness had come from Canada voluntarily New Year's Eve and had been shifted from hotel to hotel since as a safety measure. The man's attorney called the prosecutor at 4:40 p. m. to report the witness had fled to Canada. O'Brien asked Ontario police to begin a search for him, The lawyer informed the prosecutor that the witness promised to contact him again today.
O'Brien said the witness contacted him through an intermediary weeks ago and voluntarily told his story. The prosecutor said he did not know what motivated the "confession," but said he had heard "one of the broke his jaw a short time before. He also pointed out that rewards total $204,000. Clarence Jacobs, 48-year-old Canadian convict, was named by the witness man who fired the shotgun through a window of Reuther's kitchen, O'Brien said. Jacobs was one of those named in the warrant and is fighting extradition from nearby Windsor, Ontario.
The witness, O'Brien said, told him he, Jacobs and Peter Lombardo, 51, were picked for the job by Santo (Sam) Perrone, 56- -old union-busting racketeer. Lombardo currently is serving a five-year term in Leavenworth federal prison for possessing counterfeit money. Perrone is sought, having vanished from his plush home shortly before O'Brien cracked the case Wednesday.

Ike Taboos UMT Pending A New Study WASHINGTON (A) President Eisenhower today ruled out any administration request for universal military training legislation pending a new study--and perhaps a drastic overhaul- the nation's military reserve system. His decision seemed to eliminate the chance that Congress would get an administration UMT bill this session, despite last month's recommendation of a presidential commission that the "token training" of 100,000 men be started next Jan. 1 or earlier, Eisenhower disclosed his stand in a letter to Arthur S.
Flemming, director of the Office of defense Mobilization. He said he agreed "in general" with recommendations made by Flemming and by special ODM committee calling for al postponement of UMT pending possible reorganization of the reserves. The ODM report was based on al Defense Department estimate, previously unannounced, that the armed forces will need an average of three million men in uniform from now through 1960. About 3,300,000 now are in the military establishment, Under this estimate, Selective Service needs could be filled while enough young men would be left to start a token UMT. But the ODM report held that another emergency of the scope of Korea would upset the calculation, hence no training program should now be launched that might interfere with the draft.

NATO Set To Lirk Up Airfields PARIS (-Reliable informants said today that NATO, within sight of its goal of 160 jet airfields, will concentrate this year on laying a communications network to link the bases and a web of pipelines to supply them fuel.
The sources said the December ministerial meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization voted approximately 224 million dollars for its 1954 intrastructure program -the building of permanent installations needed to support NATO armed forces. The bulk of the sum will be used for the communications supply systems. The airfields are almost all completed, and 120 are in operation. The United States will chip in about 38 per cent of the total a.nount spent on NATO installations, according to a U.S. Defense Department report to Congress last May.
Details of the building program for 1954 have not yet been published but it authoritatively reported to include two big 10-inch, fuel lines in France. One would start at the Mediterranean port of Marseille and follow the Rhone River valley about 350 miles north to the Dijon area, where it would serve a group of NATO airfields. The other would start at the At(lantic coast port of Le Havre. Its terminus has not been revealed. it was starting then to build 1,875 NATO said last September that mil.
