July I«—(UP)—Red-hair-ed Virginia Hill, who attempted suicide rather than continue her flight from underworld killers, changed her mind today and defiantly announced that, "they can come ahead— they'll find me here." Miss Hill, ex-girl friend of the murdered Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel. told the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune by telephone that she was at the La Reserve hotel In Beaulieu, on the French Riviera. "I read In the paper that two men have come over here to shoot me." she said, "They can come ahead— they'll find me here." Miss Hill felt differently not so long ago. Police at Nice disclosed yesterday that she* swallowed a whole tube of sleeping tablets a week ago. and was saved only when servants found her in a serious condition and rushed her to a private clinic. It was the second time that the shapely glamor girl had taken an overdose of sleeping tablets The other time came immediately after she and Siegel quarrelled in Las Vegas. Nev., where the former New York underworld character built a multi million dollar Casino, the Flamingo club. Miss Hill, who usually seemed to have a plentiful supply of 11.000 i bills from an unknown source. ; later left for France and It *as soon afterwards that Siegel—on June 20—was shot to death in her • home In Beverly Hills. Cal. The i murder remains unsolved. In her telephonic interview to- . day. Miss Hill said: s "I am not hiding. lam sickvery sick. AU on account of the i awful things people say. 1 am down here just trying to get well." She again complained of news , stories about Siegel. “He was one of the finest men 1 ) ever met. and he had the greatest respect for me,” she said.

July 16.— (VP)—All passenger car production at General Motors Corporation plants will be halted for one week, idling 180,000 workers, because of a steel shortage. the company announced today The shutdown will cost the na tlon about 25.000 passenger cars.

Passenger car and body assembly plants in other states will not close until "materials on hand and en route are used up,” Wilson ■aid.
