...squealed, squirmed as they were driven out. When watching sympathizers began to pelt the police with rock-cored snowballs, 20 mounted officers charged into the crowd with nightsticks swinging. At that, Detroit's sympathy began swinging back to the strikers, and United Automobile Workers' young President Homer Martin seized the occasion to threaten a city-wide general automobile strike unless the police raids stopped.

In addition she was soon drawing regular fees modeling for Murray Korman, a theatrical and commercial photographer who admired her "fine character, brown eyes, and 34 in. bust." Only hitch in her quick rise was that Father Martin suddenly determined that she should finish her college course.
