State police, federal investigating agencies and the United States Air Force were collaborating today in search of a private plane which flew over a three mile industrial area of Detroit yesterday and dropped thousands of vicious anti-Semitic handbills.
The plane made two flights dropping mimeographed leaflets. After the first flight, police notified the nearby Selfridge airfield and three Army training planes were sent up to observe. The private plane appeared five hours later and again dropped leaflets, as the army plane sought to come close enough to read its identification number. Because of the great number of planes in the air at the time, they were unable to trace the plane back to its field.
