Probe OK'd
Oakland County Circuit Court Judges this morning approved the petition of Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley for a grand jury investigation into alleged criminal activities at the Hazel Park Race Track.
Kelley filed his petition for the full-scale probe after meeting late yesterday with the county’s six circuit judges.
Presiding judge Philip Pratt announced the decision to conduct the inquiry after the judges met in his chamber for an hour and a half.
According to Pratt, it will be a “couple days’’ before the judges name the grand juror who will head the investigation.
There has been speculation that Pratt will be given the job since he just completed a year-long grand jury investigation of Royal Oak Township in south Oakland County.
‘LIKELY CHOICE’
“He seems to be the likely choice because he is familiar with the procedures,” said one close associate.. “It would save time since it takes about three months just to get an investigation off the ground.”
There was no hint in today’s announcement as to who would be selected for the post.
They may, in fact, consider any judge in the state to act as the one-man grand juror.
Kelley said yesterday, while filing his petition in the County Clerk’s office, that his action was the result of 12 days of investigation into reports of widespread coruption.
Chief Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Plunkett declined to comment on the petition, but said that his office “has been consulting with the attorney general prior to yesterday’s proceedings.”
Prosecutor S. Jerome Bronson, attending a National District Attorneys Convention in Denver, Colo., has been kept informed of all the events leading up to the petition, according to Plunkett.
In his petition, Kelley cited alleged instances of horse doping, bribery, off-track betting and fraud.
Earlier Story, Page B-l
Kelley charged “certain nublic officers and/or employes of the state of Michigan or individuals licensed by the Michigan State Racing Commission” have received money “and other valuable considerations” for failure to enforce state laws.
Other charge^ made in Kelley’s petition included allegations that:

County Democrats Sidestep Viet War
By JIM LONG
Oakland County Democrats at their convention last night sidestepped taking a stand on the war in Viet Nam.
Delegates from the 18th Congressional District referred the issue to their caucuses at the state convention in Grand Rapids Aug, 19-20.
The 19th District Delegation tabled indefinitely a resolution on the subject.
Delegations from the two districts met separately in the Supervisor’s Auditorium at the County Courthouse after the county convention adjourned until Nov. 28 when officers of the executive, commiUgft jt£
ejdi
The actions of the two delegations headed off long debates that had been expected on the Viet Nam situation, particularly among 18th District delegates who were ready to consider four or five resolutions ranging from support of the Johnson administration to withdrawal.
DEBATE HALTED
Debate among the 19th Dis-tricl delegation was halted generally because many delegates apparently believed that any action they took would be ihean-ingless because the war and the path it should take would be discussed at length at the state convention.
One positive action taken by the 19th District delegation was the adoption of a r
dorsing and “encouraging state assistance and cooperation in the establishment of an osteopathic college in the Pontiac area.”
“We feel that to do less than this is to practice discrimination against one-third of our citizens who seek attention from this recognized profession,*’ the resolution read tH part.
Democratic County Chairman George Googasian opened th e convention by saying that the Democratic precinct delegation is the largest ever in the county, 289, “a significant increase ■over 1964.”;
“It’s apparent that the Demo-crats in Oakland County are on me move,’1 said GoO^asiah.
DETROIT m — Riot-trained police kept a close watch today on a racially mixed neighborhood on Detroit’s east side where violence flared for the second time in 24 hours last night.
One Negro reported he was shot by white men, Molotov cocktail fire bombs were thrown, and the driver of a passing car was hurt, when a brick smashed through a window in the latest outbreak.
More than three dozen white and Negro youths were arrested. Some were charged with arson, while others were booked for offenses ranging from possession of explosives to inciting to riot.
Helmeted police commandos carrying shotguns and loaded rifles with fixed bayonets kept most of the troublemakers bottled up inside a five-block area near the plush suburb of Grosse Polnte.

Police commissioner Ray Gir-ardin said Detroit’s 4,000 policer men would continue on 12-hour shifts until the neighborhood returned to normal. All leaves have been canceled.

J. Alexander, director of the Oakland County Department of Public Works, said today that the two municipalities that withdrew were minor areas fit the total project, estimated to cost $16.5 million.
A cost of $180,000 had been estimated for Orchard Lake which rejected a contract to participate in the sewer system this week.
Pontiac decided not to participate a month ago. A trunkline costing the city an estimated $137,000 was proposed for the northeast comer of the city by the DPW.

Alexander, noting that four of the other six municipalities already have approved participation, said that the other two are expected to act on the proposal this month.
They are Avon Township vihere 26 per cent of the total project cost would come and Independence Township which would provide 10.4 per cent.
Alexander considers both of these municipalities major parts of the project in contrast to the two communities-that have rejected participation.
Waterford, West Bloomfield, Pontiac and Orion townships already have jagreed to participate. ^ n
WATERFORD COST Waterford Township would pay about 40 per cent of the cost which is based on connected population (the numbers of users projected in the next 15 to 20 years).
Pontiac Township’s share would be 10.9 per cent, West Bloomfield’s 6.1 per cent and Orion’s 4.7 per cent.

Worse Than Chicago or Austin Slayiriljs
(EDITOR’S NOTE — Two violent crime* have claimed 23 the* in the past month. Despite the adjectives used to describe both, neither was as heinous as the crime that claimed 45 lives in the small Michigan community of Bath 39 years ago. Associated Press newsman Phil Brown went to Bath last week and found numerous people still alive who remember the day that “The World’s Worst Demon” struck. Here is his report.)
By PHIL BROWN BATH (Pi — When a stunned nation read with horror about the slaying of eight student nurses in Chicago and the sniper-murders of 15 persons in Austin, Tex., many spoke of the “crime of the century” and the “largest mass murder ever.” But long-time residents of this little eastern Lower Michigan farm community know better.
★ * ★
For it was here, in May, 1927, that Andrew P. Kehoe killed 45 persons including himself while dynamiting the Bath Consolidated School as the classrooms were filled with pupils.
, “When that fellow in Texas did that, all I could think of was this (the Bath explosion),” said Mrs. Cecil Harris, who lost a
brother and two sisters in the blast.
NOT EXPECTED “He (Kehoe) was a man you’d never think would do such a thing,” she added.
“He was calm and quiet,” said Mrs. Roscoe Witchell, formerly Mrs. LaVere Harte, whose nine-year-old son Robert also died when die roof fell in on die two-story school’s first floor.
★ ★ ★
But, Mrs. Witchell also knew that when “anything irritated him, he did what he could/'
For instance, she said, he
beat one of his horses to death for not pulling hard enough and he shot a dog belonging to Mrs. Witchell’s mother a| it was digging in a ditch on Ms land.
The Bath School Board irritated Kehoe — there was the
of high taxes on his
home for one thing — and a mortgage on his home irritated him, too.
This, Bath residents believe, led him to kill his wife, destroy his farm down to the last grapevine, blow up the school and, as rescue work began, set off his car full of explosives in front of the school.
★ ★ ★
Some, including Mrs.' Witchell, believe he wasn’t after the
many children who died in the explosion, but intended to get school officials and parents who attended a PTA meeting the night before.
Mrs. Witchell’s parents lived directly across the road from Kehoe, and she now lives in the same house — across from the weed-covered foundation of the attractive, three-story home which Bath residents called one of the finest homes around. LACKED MONEY |
“He didn’t have the money to pay for it,” she recalled. “And he was angry because taxes were so high.”
But, she said, “there was no real point in his losing the farm.
As a talented electrician, trained in electrical engineering at what Is now Michigan State University, he could have found a job that paid well, she said.
“He just wasn’t a farmer,” said Mrs. Witchell. “He didn’t want to do any work. He probably would have done fine new with the machines available.
She said Kehoe had always talked about the school board spending too much, and was elected to the board by persons who felt ti>e same way.
CUT CORNERS But, she said, some of the corners he wanted to cut would
have cost the school its accre-l ditation.
Mrs. Witchell said the board did go along with one of Kehoe’s ideas to save money—he could some electrical repairs at the school for a low charge.
★ A it
Nobody thought much about seeing Kehoe at work around the school—until after the blast when they found a clock, some wiring and 500 pounds of dynamite whicji did not explode.
His farm had been ingeniously rigged, too. Spark plugs in gasoline jars blew up ail his farm buildings at once when he threw the switch.
Part of the school building was left standing, and the rest rebuilt. It now is a junior high school.
Ihe event is called simply “The Bath School Disaster’ a 136-page paperback book on sale at Abbot Nelson’s grocery
The book in Nelson’s store as written by M. J. Ellsworth, then a Bath merchant and now reportedly living in Florida. In straightforward fashton, he presents “every detail of the disaster that would be of interest to the reader” — including the school tax rates, 119.20 per (1,000 valuation in 1926, up from
(12.26 in 1922. Kehoe’s valuation>used to dynamite stumps on hisl was (10,000 on to acres of land, I property.

WORST DEMON
Andrew P. Kehoe, the world’s worst demon, was bom Feb. 1, | MfsOS 1872, on a farm about four miles
north of Tecumseh. Mich.’
Ellsworth observes that Kehoe “spent so much time tinkering that he didn’t prosper.”
He also relates the incidents involving the horse and the dog.
On Kehoe’s fence was a wooden sign reading, “Criminals Are Made, Not Born,” the author says, but he adds: “He was going to have his own way at any cost.”
Although Kehoe wasn’t un-friendly, Mrs. Witchell said, he was never friendly either. “He
kept to himself ... You couldn’t RECALLS BOMBING — get close to him." Ralph Hobert of Lainsburg

And, he remembered, Kehoe 40 years ago.
He doesn’t remember much about the explosion, and the summer after the blast “we were playing over there, around the foundation of Kehoe’s home, like kids will.”
FULL IMPACT The full effect of the disaster really hit Hobert the next fall. He was among only three survivors of 13 in his class when school resumed with 273 pupils in spare rooms of downtown Bath buildings.
Because of his stump-blasting, his purchase of explosives didn’t arouse much attention.
♦ ★ ★
Anyway, said Mrs. Witchell, you just don’t think of someone planning to do something like that.”
Kehoe was buried, the Laingsburg Press said, in an unmarked grave.
It hit some Bath residents so hard, Nelson said, that “for a long time they wouldn’t talk about it. When somebody mentioned it, they’d get up and leave the room.”
Some still aren’t interested in talking about the explosion.
“Why ever do you want to bring that up?” asked one woman, whose son hadheen injured. BOOKS SELLING But, Nelson said, the books have been selling lately, with buyers including a number of libraries.
There still are unanswered questions, such as when Kehoe decided on his plan, how long it took Mm to accumulate the explosives and how long to arrange them.

“Do not pass legislation that you will regret the rest lives,” warned AFL-CIO President George Meany in behalf of million union members.
FAINT HOPES
Harley O. Staggers of the House Commerce Committee, who raised faint hopes by briefly cajoling negotiators into trying arbitration, hinted no bill will reach the House flow until next week.
The West Virginia Democrat said his arbitration suggestion was “the last thing we could possibly do” short of legislation.
But toe plan blew up a few hours later in a sharp exchange of statements between chief airlines negotiator William J. Curtin and P. L. (Roy) Siemiiler, president of the AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists,
Siemiiler predicted that arbitration plan without prior & on major contract would suffer the fate as the White House proposal toe strikers overwhelmingly voted down Judy 3L “Prejudging the vote by toel international president clearly indicates that the union does not desire to end this dispute by voluntary arbitration,” Curtin said in Rpcmang Siemiiler of ' plan.

In today’s tight money market, federal binds suddenly me preempting much of the role usually assigned to the Federal Reserve discount rate. Traditionally, the interest charge set by the Federal Reserve banks tor money borrowed from them by
member commercial banks set the base for most interest charges. These range upward from the prime rate banks charge their largest and mart creditworthy customers to the | al toms that finance a family’s emergencies.
But now, many banks are paying up to 6 per cent for federal funds rather than barrow from the Federal Reserve at the current discount rate of 4% per cent, strange as this might seem at first glance. Furthermore, the discount rate is now so far below the interest costs of most borrowing to do business or handle the buying of a house or car or financing a vacation, that other measures of the money market are being watched more closely. And one that fluctuates daily often reflects the latest trends. That one is the once nebulous federal funds.
MEMBER BANKS
These are deposits of member banks with their district Federal Reserve Bank, in excess of legal reserve requirements. Since they earn no interest, these surplus deposits are readily available for loans to other banks—

DETROIT — The federal government is preparing to take another big step in the automotive safety field by requiring installation of seat belts on terstate buses.
The timetable for the operation currently is under study by toe Interstate Commerce Commission and representatives of interstate bus companies and bus building firms.

Ernest G. Cox of the IOC’s Bureau of Operations and Compliance has played a key role in the campaign to extend the seat belt idea to bus lines.
ICC officials put tour major questions before the interstate itors and builders. They

the 1963 date,” he said, “is that bus manufacturers tell lb that, technically, buses built prior to 1963 could not accomodate belts and anchorages meeting the existing standards without bus rebuilding work.”
Cox indicated no one in toe ICC planned to push the panic button to get belts installed in harry or at prohibitive cost. EXPECT ORDER “I would expect that there might be an ICC order requiring that buses halt after certain, date, say Jan. 1, 1967, “ be equipped with the seat belt installation for each issenger,” he explained.
“In addition, it is likely that such installations would be made } on buses built in or
after 196.....toe idea being
toe installation could be made without disrupting service,” he
3- Should requirements be determined by the kind of vehicle involved?
4- Should some provision be made for encouraging or requiring use of belts by passengers?

Cox said in an all interested parties, from traffic safety groups to bus line managers had been vited to file their views with toe ICC by Aug. 3. He said that deadline had been extended to Oct. 3 at the request of several

at the going rate of interest, and on an overnight basis. A bank which is temporarily short of funds to maintain its reserve will borrow from a bank with a surplus.
It win pay more for such a loan than for me from the Fed . at 4Vt per cent, because the Fed frowns on too much such borrowing. And the average daily trading volume this year of $4 billion might seem too much dipping into central bank resources.
During the tight money squeeze of 1959, trading volume iin federal funds averaged fl.5 billion a day with rates no higher than 4 per cent. Federal funds Were daiming around KVt per cent at the start of 1966, climbed to a record 5% per cent at the start of 1966, climbed record 5% per cent last week, with some loans reported i high as 6 per cent.
Tight money is toe reason. Banks need funds to meet demand for loans. As interest rates in general rise, banks are finding it hard to replace fends lost when certificates of deposit —at 5% per cent—mature and investors take the cash and look for higher yields.
EQUAL RESERVES
city banks are required to keep reserves equal to 16% per cent for their demand deposits. Usually they run fairly close to that ceiling. But the so-called 6,000 country banks are required to keep reserves equal to 12 per cent In easy money times, such as 1960, their excess reserve totals averaged around 6623 million a day. But in today’s tight money market, the average is about a third of that.
When one of these smaller banks has a chance for a lucrative business loan, but is short of reserves, it will borrow from a bank with a surplus. It borrows federal funds.
And what it pays gives a close to-the-market measure of how tight money is and how high interest rates are, and how much higher they’re likely to go.
Cox said KXTs plans would apply only to interstate runs. “We do not have jurisdiction over local bus runs, such as within a given city, and we think that even if seat belts installed in such would be bard to people to use them for short of five or six city blocks, he arid.
WORKED CLOSELY Cox said bus companies hat worked closely with ICC on toe seat belt problem and he predicted ferther cooperation would be forthcoming as the bus safety campaign is expanded.”
