(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Officials of the county prosecutor’s office moved to puncture the bubble of obscurity surrounding the automobile crash in which Ford was injured here last Sunday.
Prosecutor Robert M. Toms asked officials of the Ford Motor Company for a complete report of their investigation of the affair. Mr. Toms said he did not intend to initiate an investigation unless the Ford organization report was such as to warrant arrest of those responsible.
In the face of persistent reports that the Ford coupe in which the man who makes them was riding deliberately was knocked from the road by a large speeding closed car Mr. Toms said he wanted “to find out what it is all about.”
Official investigations were made by only two agencies, the Police Department of Dearborn, the Detroit suburb just outside of which Mr. Ford’s car was sidewiped, and the constable in charge of patrolling that point. Both reports leaned toward the theory of unavoidable accident.
