Contract Let for WTHS Grid Stands If everything goes on schedule, Waterford Township High School will have new football stands by Oct. 1, one week before its home opener. A $42,135 contract to build the stands was awarded to a Detroit firm last night by the Waterford Township Board of Education. The firm, Standard Steel Bleacher Division of Standard Steel and Supply Co., outbid another company’s offer of $46,7M. Construction of the 2,000 seat, concrete structure is slated to begin almost immediately, pending removal of the existing wooden bleachers. * ★ ★ To be situated on a hill on the east side of the present football field at Crescent Lake Road and M59, the stands will consist of 14 rows and will be 224 feet long. GUARD RAILS The project will include galvanized seat brackets, guard rails on both sides and in front of the structure and seat boards. Only scheduled game conflicting with construction is Waterford-Kettering’s Sept. IS home opener on the township field. The contest will have to be rescheduled or played at another site. Funda also have been budgeti ed for a new football stadium at letteringHigh School, but the structure probably won’t be ready until the 1967 season. ★ * * However, the board approved architectural plans for lights at the Kettering field last night and authorized Wakely Kushner Associates Architects to secure bids.

Romeo State Police, who withheld the suspect’s name, said he was 9 fof the nursery who had hacnrecent disagreements with his employers over wages. Mrs. Riemann’s body was discovered by her husband about 6 p.m. yesterday lying at the bottom of the basement stairs in their home at 70790 Van Dyke, Romeo. Police said she had been struck on the head and stabbed in the neck with an instrument Which penetrated to. her left lung. ★ ★ ★ The suspect was picked up in his home last night after some money and a radio, reported missing by Riemann, were found there. UNDER SUSPICION State Troopers said the man was under suspicion because he had been on “bad terms” with the Riemann’s and because he foiled to show up for work on Monday. The nursery is located next to the Riemann’s home. Police said Riemann discovered his wife’s body when he returned home from work yesterday. The Riemann’s, who came to this country from Germany, were members of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Romeo. ★ * ★ According to friends, they have one son, Carl, who works in South Bend, Ind.

JOHN RIEMANN U.S. Is Still Silent on Strike Stand WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz testified today the administration still has taken no position as to whether a law to end the airline strike should be passed. But he avoided characterizing the 29-day-old strike as an emergency situation. He told Congress it would be breaking new ground if it passed such a law. The Senate passed a bill yesterday to order an end to the machinists union’s strike against five major airlines," and Writz appeared before the House Commerce Committee which now is considering the measure. He said that as long as the matter is pending in Congress he expects no meaningful negotiations between the parties. ★ ★ ★ Both the administration and the Congress have been trying to sidestep the responsibility — and the possible political repercussions from labor — for ordering an end to the strike, and House action is not expected at least before the middle of next week. But Wirtz said there is no threat to the nation’s military effort, such as led to compulsory arbitration legislation in wartime; no threat to the national health or safety, such as was argued in favor of the strikedelaying aspects of the Taft-Hartley Act, and nothing comparable to the threat of a general railroad tie-up that led to legislation in 1963. Rep, Harley O. Staggers, Du WWfl., the chairman, said the hearings probably would continue for two or three days, perhaps until next Tuesday or Wednesday. Then the committee would have to decide whether to accept, reject or alter the joint resolution the Senate passed. Industry Is Victor in Price Rise Dispute ^ WASHINGTON (AP) - A united steel industry appeared to have emerged the victor today in a war of nerves to raise prices on some of its products in the face of Whitp House pressure to hold the price line. The $2 and $3 per ton increases in the price of steel sheet and strip — the kind used in automobiles and other consumer goods — were called modest and inconsequential by the industry but denounced by the Johnson administration as irresponsible and inflationary. Through last night, however, 11 companies — including the giants of the industry—had announced price increases effective next Wednesday on about 30 per cent of their output. The Washington Post reported that Johnson definitely has decided to let the steel price hike stand. ★ ★ ★ The Post said that the President, without anger or emotion, decided there was nothing he could do to force a price roll back. SECOND DEFEAT If the increases stick, as now appears likely, it will mark the second major economic defeat for the Johnson administration within a week. Only last weekend, striking airline machinists overwelm-ingly rejected & contract agreement worked out under White House auspices which called for a 6 to 7 per cent increase in wages and other benefits, well beyond the administration’s 3.2 per cent wage-price guidelines. Those same guidelines call for relative price stability.

In the U.S. Senate primary, Gov. Frank G. Clement unseated Sen. Ross Bass in a race which was not decided until after 90 per cent of the vote had been counted. With 2,520 of the state’s 2,741 percincts reported, Clement had 339,997 while Bass had 331,019. a a a Howard H. Baker Jr., son-in-law of Sen. Everett M. Dirksen, R-Ill., swamped a more conservative candidate to take the Republican senatorial nomination. Ellington had 368,443 votes to 322,535 for Hooker. Baker polled! 103,164 and Kenneth Roberts 33,-636. FIRST TO WIN Two Negro civil rights leaders became the first of their race to gain election to the County Court of Haywood County West Tenessee. Dan Nixon and A. D. Powell, both farmers, took narrow victories in the county which has been the scene of sev- eral racial incidents in recent months. Hooker, 35, conceded defeat just two hours after the first returns from Shelby, County (Memphis) — the stated largest — were reported in Ellington’s column. A ★ ★ Bass, who defeated Clement in 1964 to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen. Estes Kefauver, had put his record of 10 years in the House and two in the Senate on the line against the governor. Clement, rounding out his third term as governor, had accused Bass of being a “rubber stamp” for the Johnson administration. By law, Clement could not succeed himself. PROMINENT FAMILY Baker, member of a promi- nent East Tennessee political family, never trailed as he put down the bid of Roberts who managed the 1964 Barry Gold-water campaign in Tennessee. Baker, whose mother, brother-in-law and late father served in Congress, lost to Bass by 50,000 votes in 1964. Ellington, 59, was governor from 1959-63 before joining the Johnson administration as director of the Office of Emergency Planning which gave him a seat on the National Security Council. He made only slight mention of his Washington connections during the campaign. A A A Hooker quoted the late President John F. Kennedy during the primary campaign but denied the race was an appropriate barometer of the com- parative strength of Johnson and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-N.Y. Hooker served in the Justice Department under Robert F. Kennedy when the latter was attorney general. a ★ A Only two of the state’s nine congressmen — Tom Murray of the 7th District and Robert A. Everett of the 8th — faced primary opposition. Everett easily weathered the challenge and Murray, chairman of the House Post Office Committee, built up an apparently safe lead. Both will face Republican opposition in November, as will three other members of the delegation. The Republicans put up no candidate for governor in the primary. In Chicago Fight Merrill Points to Vote Error William H. Merrill, Democratic nominee for U. S. Congress from the 18th District, may have 12,000 more votes than he was credited with in Tuesday’s primary. The error was .discovered by Merrill and brought to the attention of the Oakland County Cleric’s Office this morning. “There does appear to be a discrepancy,” said Deputy County Clerk Frank O’Brien, “but we won’t know exactly how much until the vote is canvassed.” Unofficial returns Wednesday gave Merrill, former assistant U.

LIKE 21,006 “My total is more like 21 000,” said Merrill, who will oppose incumbent Congressman William S. Broomfield in the November general election. Merrill won the nomination over Theodore N.

Broomfield was unopposed in the primary. Negro Mother Slain Hint of Yanks in Neutral Zone physicians said. COUPLE WOUNDED The Williams couple and Banks were wounded by shotgun pellets in the arm. The wounds were not serious. Banks told police it was the second time during the evening that he was shot at. Earlier, a car full of youths passed him and fired a shotgun blast at him. He said he received a superficial wound and gave himself first aid. Banks said he was not a member of any gang. attacked by a crowd of Negro youths after they returned to their patrol car.

Although the committee was complimentary of OCCEO’s hiring of the'poor as counselor aids and neighborhood organizers (9 to 1 ratio on the employment staff), it criticized the slowness in upgrading these nonprofessionals. The committee suggested that these people should be given jobs with more skills and more responsibility and called for further development of in-service training sessions. Ingraham said the question of employe advancement is a judgment problem. “You may think they’re ready — we may not.” On health services, the team called for the assignment of public community action centers. 1 1ML BIRMINGHAM—O’Dell, Hewlett and Luckenbach, Inc., architects and engineers, have been selected by the Birmingham Board of Education to. design Birmingham’s fifth junior high school, to be located at Inkster and Maple.

Ufl ~ Fred Farris thinks his “saving’ habits will become normal again now that the bank has returned tussocks. Farris dumps his quartersand dimes into cigar boxes at the end of each day. As the amount increases, he puts them away in his old army socks. Twice annually, he takes stock of his savings — once at tax time and once at vacation time. He carried socks and money to the bank recently as vacation time neared. The bank kept socks and all, giving him two canvas money bags for future collections. But the money bags didn’t seem quite normal to him. So it was a joyful day for him when he stopped by the bank and the cashier handed him a paper money sack containing his old Army socks.

OCC Board to Step Up Hunt for Site Oakland Community College trustees last night decided to proceed with plans to develop the Auburn Hills Campus while stepping up the search for a fourth campus site in southeastern Oakland County. Trustee Ralph F. Tyndall of Royal Oak had proposed that the board halt its consideration of Auburn Hills plans until further study could be made of sites possibilities in the southeastern part of the county. Tyndall’s motion, seconded by Trustee Earl M. Anderson of Madison Heights, eventually was defeated when Anderson voted against it. The other supporter of Tyndall’s motion, Trustee Mrs. Lila Johnson of Huntington Woods, then proposed that a thorough and immediate study be made of both the financing and sites for an OCC campus in southeastern Oakland County. To conduct the program, the school board would have to acquire three full-time teachers, a full-time social worker, a part-time speech correctionist and three part-time cooks. five-day exposure to concentrated on operations at the North and South Oakland Opportunity Centers, neighborhood organization, health and ! dental services, family services and employment services.

These will be discussed in detail at OCCEO’s next meeting at 7:30 a.m. Aug. 24 at Oakland University, according to Ingraham. Some of the suggestions may be incorporated in OCCEO’ program. Others may be rejected, noted Ingraham and OCCEO Executive Director James M. McNeely. it Ingraham said a major problem is that people are uninformed about the local program.

Mrs. Johnson noted that the being designed for Auburn Hills will deplete the college’s bonding capacity. Tirrell said state and federal matching funds should give the college $9 to $10 million to work with by the end of this decade.

We can’t move in Royal dak right now, but we can move at Auburn Hills” ] Mosher referred to unsuccessful attempts the board made earlier this year to purchase a site in Royal Oak, commenting that “the possibilities of building a campus down there are pretty remote.” Mosher said he would not vote to proceed on the Auburn Hills work if the board was split on the issue. However, Anderson s a 1 d he had seconded Tyndall’s motion just so the matter could be dis-; cussed. t ' A Primary Trickles Into Wee Hours Thousands of area residents concerned about local government waited Tuesday night for the results of their polling place activity. They waited, and waited, and waited. ★ ★ ★ For those who wanted some idea of how local races came out before they went to bed, there was little satisfaction. Although the voting was not heavy, in general, the counting and reporting process was extremely slow. This was not the fault of the staff of County Clerk-Register John D. Murphy at the courthouse. The returns just seemed to trickle in, despite the public’s demonstrated thirst for such information. Althoi%h The Press had said it would offer election results beginning at 10 pjn; by telephone, it was not until 10:33 that the first scores were available. By 1 a.m. only a scant few figures were available on many important races. Not until approximately 4:30 a.m. Wednesday were all cities and townships in. Apparently there are many election workers in cities and townships who do not share the public’s dgsire for rapid dissemination of our political processes. The Old ‘Iron Horse’ Seen Kicking Up Its Heels Indications are that, like the premature announcement of Mark Twain’s death, reports of the demise of railroads as passenger movers have been greatly exaggerated. Indeed the steel “corpse” has risen from its death bed and is very much on the move. With foie U.S. population growing rapidly and statisticians projecting that within five years three-fourths of the people will be living in urban areas, the prospect is that vehicles on public roads will soar to more than 100 million. ★ ★ ★ Such a volume of highway traffic would, paradoxically, tend toward immobilization of a sizable segment of the, motoring public unless new concepts of mass transportation are developed—and used. Consequently, the railroads are now looking ahead to the role they must again pl&y in passenger transportation. Since railroad statistics show that the distance-limit of 74 per cent of passenger travel by rail is under 200 miles, the carriers are turning their backs on the long-haul area and concentrating on the short-trip movement of travelers. ★ ★ ★ In addition to a Federal grant of $90 million to develop a pilot rapid transit design linking East Coast cities, the rails themselves are programming some $12 billion over the next 10 years to prepare for the expected back-to-the-rails movement. Railroad equipment producers have 34 advanced projects in stages varying from blueprints to actual construction. Needless to say, mechanization would be the name of the game in the resurgence of the rails, and computer makers are testing controls for everything from ticket sales to the complexities of actual train operation. ★ ★ ★ Progress, as has been said, never stands still—and the railroads are not about to. Liquid Fuel Should Be ‘Treated With Respect’ LP stands for liquified petroleum gas. A good many city people who aren’t acquainted with LP come into intimate contact with it during their summer holidays. Because it can be handled in containers, it is very useful in cottages, trailers and even on boats. ..._...ic...★.....±....... There’s one thing that these '^plopE,''1md:’;Bfshould know1 about LP gas. One of its properties is that it is heavier than air. If it escapes in large enough quantities, it accumulates on the floor or in low spots on the ground rather than rising and being dispelled in the air as most gases do; If you get into trouble, remember that LP is odorized as a safety measure — you can detect it — and ttmt accunmtetions ar#^very ^dan« gerous. Right to Bear Arms Out of Focus By JAMES MARLOW AP News Analyst WASHINGTON — When the early Americans wrote into Hie Constitution’s Second Amenfjpp.nt ftp right of the people to bear arms, they m have imagined what was going to happen. The FBI reports that 96 per cent of the 278 police officers killed in the line of duty since 1960 were killed with firearms and that of the 9,850 homicides last year, 57 per cent, or 5,614, were committed with firearms. MARLOW Shortly before Charles Joseph Whitman was killed by police Monday in Austin, Tex. - after he had killed 15 people and wounded 31, all but one of them with guns — a book was published on the problem of firearms. In this bode, “The Right to Bear Arms,” the author, Carl Bakal, wrote: “A strange and peculiarly American plague has long swept our land — a plague of guns. Every year, firearms claim more and more lives in this country. - ★ it it “Since the turn of the century this p)ague has brought death to the astonishing total of more than 750,000 Americans — men, women and children — a figure based oh official though incomplete government figures.” FEDERAL PLEA A year ago, Atty. Gen. Nicholas Katzen-bach, speaking lor President Johnson’s ad- ministration, called for a law putting some federal controls on the sale of firearms. He gave a congressional committee some figures,, saying; More than half the 9,300 murders in 1964 wer^ 'com-mitted with firearms, many of them obtained through the mails, as were many of the gnns used in half the 20,000 suicides in ion. And he said the “vast majority” of the 64,000 armed robberies in 1904 were carried out with firearms/^ .........J... He pointed out that four presidents were killed by assassins’ bullets. But it would, be misleading to get the impression that American killings were only . the work of adults, sane or otherwise. Last year, testifying before a congressional committee, Carl K. Miller, director of records in the Chicago Police Department, told this story. CONFISCATION In 1963 and 1964, Chicago police confiscated over 12,000 guns; of the 391 murders in Chicago in 1964, firearms were used in 191 of them; and in these 191 murders in which guns were used, there were three* 13-year-old juveniles involved, two 14-year-okis, seven 15-year-olds, and 1116-year-olds. Eighteen others involved in these ' murders were under 20. A very mild — some would call it feeble —bill to put some controls on the sale of firearms, particularly by mail, has been approved by a Senate subcommittee. But, although President Johnson has called on Congress for a strong control Mil, 41 lias a long and tough way to go before Congress does anything about it. David Lawrence Says: Rebuke to Steel Sounds Hollow Voice of the People: Proposes Signal Change to Protect Pedestrians Why can’t we have one of those timer lights for control of right hand turns onto Wide Track from Huron, and for left hand turns onto Wide Track from Huron, so that people crossing Wide Track on fo6t could make it all the way across without having to sprint the last few feet to safety? ★ ★ ★ It might cost a little money, but safety for pedestrians is an important factor to be considered at busy intersections. MRS. J. W. KELLER WATERFORD Unfair! Rock *n’ Roll Restricted to Adults How come the bars and lounges of Pontiac have Rock ’n’ Roll Bands and Go-Go-Girls, yet the teen-agers, who enjoy this type of entertainment, are not permitted in these places after 9 p.m., just the time when the bands start playing. It’s not fair that the places where we could dance and enjoy ourselves are for adults only. VALDORA PHILLIPPE MILFORD New Legislation Is Used to Stop Dumping Regarding the illegal dumping on Bald Mountain and resulting pollution of Galloway Lake, it was State Representative Robert J. Slingerlend who insisted that the State Health Department investigate and act on its findings. ★ ★ ★ He also directed the owner of the property, who was trying to stop the dumping, to an expert witness whose testimony resulted in an order to close the dump. ★ ★ ' ★ This was the first time that Act No. 87 of the Public Acts of 1965, which Rep. Slingerlend helped write, had been used in court. J. M. WALTER LAKE ORION WASHINGTON-The words of rebuke from the administration because the steel companies did not consult the government before announcing a hike in prices have a hollow sound. Pleas for “voluntary col operation” .(pi being repeated and the hope is LAWRENCE expressed that “the good sense of labor and management” will be invoked to “hold the line on prices and inflationary wage settle-ments.” Gardner Ackley, chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, says: “At this time, when Americans are fighting overseas, it * is essential to maintain a stable economy ... It is necessary for those who have the power of wage and price decisions to be willing to discuss those decisions in advance, and to hear and understand the government’s position. ★ * * “Not to do so is deliberately to flout the public interest in cost-price stability at a critical time in our economic affairs.” NO SUCH DEMAND But no such demand has been made of the airline union or of the other unions which now are threatening more strikest -The inevitable result of such ■ topsy-turvy situation is to bring on an economic crisis, and the government will then have to step in with a wage-and-price freeze such as Britain is now undertaking. Plainly, the war in Viet Nam has increased government expenses and has had an impact on the national economy as a whole.

The latest test, which has just been initiated, is a direct consequence of the administration’s indifference to the violation of “guidelines.” » As the steel companies observe the trend — especially the comments in recent weeks that the “guidelines” should be raised anyhow as far as labor is concerned—it is natural for management men to begin at least to express themselves and remind the federal government that they, too, are concerned with the problems of inflation. * * * Congress is not likely, before the November elections, to pass any laws imposing wage and price controls. If the economic situation does not improve, it may well be that when Congress reconvenes after November, serious consideration will be given to legislation to stabilize both wages and prices so as to prevent inflation from having a demoralizing effect on the national economy. (Copyright. 1*M, Publisher! Newspaper Syndicate) Bob Considine Says: Texas Massacre Gives Sen. Dodd New Voice NEW YORK - The voice of Sen. Thomas Dodd was raised in anger the other day, and this time it Was not directed at Drew Pearson. The carnage on the campus of the University of Texas had given the Connec t i c u t Democrat an opportunity to CONSIDINE return once more to a project which* he has been attempting to put over for some years, with scant success. Sen. Dodd would make it a lot tougher for nuts like Charles Whitman and L e e Harvey Oswald to pick up an arsenal. Oswald bought the gun that •killed John F. Kennedy for less than $20. It passed through the mails as legitimate merchandise. The pistol with which he killed officer J. D. Tippit was similarly purchased. ........ * * * There was no one to quil-' tion whether a person like Oswald, who had once defected to the Soviet Union and later stooged for Communist Cuba, had any right to possess arms. WHITMAN’S ARMORY Whitman’s armory, which he dragged up the final flights of steps of the tower on the campus at Austin, was made up of a 12-g a u g | shotgun which he had bought on credit from a national chain store (hi the morning of the slaughter, a 6-mm. Remington magnum rifle with a four-power scope, a 35-caliber Remington pump rifle, a 30-caliber reconditioned Army carbine, a 9-mm. luger pistol, a 357 magnum pistol and a large bowie knife. At hit home, where he had left his dead wife, Whitman had three additional rifles and two derringer pistols.. Dodd must be accustomed to the rough tredtment he has had since his ethics case came up before the Senate. He had been belted earlier by gun-lovers, gun dealers, rifle clubs, antique dealers as a menace to their fun and profit. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT The constitutional right to bear arms was brandished in front of him and all who suggested in print that he had a a good bill going for him. It will be interesting to hear and read the inevitable replies to those who, in the light of Whitman’s running amok, now call ter a closer inspection of gun purchasers. Reviewing 'Blade Power' Life ' The civil rights movement in America has stumbled badly over a phrase lhat has de-fied every attempt at ‘ definition. “Black power” was pressed into service as a slogan for the Meredith march through Mississippi by Stoke-ly Carmichael, 25-year-old head of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). The words quickly became a part of the vocabulary of protest; But it was left to each user of the phrase to define it as he saw fit. Roy Wilkins, executive director ot the NAACP, saw it as the negation of everything his organization had sought. “It is a reverse Mississippi, a reverse Hitler, a reverse Ku Klux Klan ... It is the father of hatred and the mother of violence.” Others saw dangerous overtones of racism in the chanted phrase. Vice President HnmphTOy warned, "There is no room in America for racism of any color. And,we most reject calls for racism, whether they come from a throat that is white or one that is black.” * * * -If "black power” is not a Wants Facts of Michigan’s Fiscal History I’ve read a lot of articles telling of the great things that Governor Romney has done to bring this state out of bankruptcy and I’ve also read that ex-Governor Williams was responsible for this bankruptcy. ★ ★ ★ Would someone please inform me as to the legislation that Williams vetoed to cause this bankruptcy and show me the legislation that RoiAney drafted that brought the state out of its financial crisis into a surplus. ★ ★ ★ I would like to know whose tax bill it was and just how our legislators voted on it—both Democrat and Republican.

MRS. J. THOMAS PETERSON WATERFORD Question and Answer "'X I read a world air speed record and it was listed as F.A.I. record. After calling the Air Force office here, the City airport, and the Federal Aviation Agency I still can’t findsgut what F.A.I. stands for. Do yon know? PLANE WATCHER REPLY It stands for Federation Aeronautique Internationale, which is the world sport-governing body for aeronautics. In this country, the F.A.I. is represented by the National Aeronautics Association in Washington. Other Editorial Pages call to racist violence but a move to separatism, then the slogan is more naive than dangerous. The lack of success of “Return - to - Africa” movements (which reached their peak with Marcus Garvey in the 1920s) has proved that the A m e r i r a n Negro wants no part of such schemes. The Black Muslims, who have called for separatism here in America, have never gained a significant following. The whole direction of the civil rights movement since 1954 has been to beat down the doctrine of “separate but equal,” and separatism would not gain logic simply because it was self' imposed. One Negro leader who wants no part of separatism, The Reverend Walter ..EL Fountroy, says “ ‘B1 a c k power’ seems to hie 16 be the kind of power we already have in Harlem and the dthey black < ghettos across the land. The situation has finally hardened, with GORE and SNCC holding to the “black power” formula and all the other major rights organizations condemning it. One of the chief defenders of t h e phrase, Floyd B. McKissick, head of CORE, claims that the sense of -the words has been distorted. As he has defined “black power,” “it tenet black supremacy; it is a unified black voice reflecting racial pride in the tradition of our heterogeneous nation . . . ‘black power’ does not advocate violence; it advocates aggressive political and economic competition.” If “black power” is simply the marshaling of alb available Negro strength to gain legitimate political and economic pals, well and good. Negroes will find that they have plenty of “White power” supporting them in siich aspirations. 1 / The progress that Ampr-icans want to see in the field of civil rights will go much Jaster if “black power” is accompanied by the sense of responsibility that must be linked to nay hoe of power. And the ultimate goal of ro* sponsible *‘Maek power” should be a situation in which Negroes have gained such complete equality of opportunity that they feel a# need of special cohesiveoms. THE PONTIAC PRESS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1966 ONE COLOR Get Help on Reading A group of 265 Pontiac youngsters has spent six weeks this summer developing a “Yes I can” attitude toward reading. The chance to get a fresh start on mastering this key skill was offered in a Pontiac School System program designed for third graders. Using federal funds, local educators set up a $51,000 program described by Supt. Dr. Dana P. Whitmer as “a massive shot in the arm of reading instruction.” Children enrolled in the program, which ended today, received the kind of intensive attention they could not expect during the regular school year. ★ ★ ★ They were picked up at their respective schools each weekday and taken to Mark Twain Elementary School, where they spent six or six and a half hours under the guidance of a blue-ribbon staff. FAVORABLE RATIO An extremely favorable teacher-pupil ratio characterized the program, with not more than 15 youngsters assiped to a classroom. Besides the 20 classroom teachers, tile staff included nine special reading teachers, three librarians, three physical education teachers, a psychologist, a nurse, a visiting teacher, a principal and three clerks. Expenditure for each child in the six-week course was about $204. The school district spent $548.55 per pupil for the entire 1965-66 school year, Whitmer noted. Those enrolled constitute 14 per cent of the third graders in the district last year. MORE GAINED Principal Richard Hender-shott said many more youngsters could have benefited from the instruction. In selecting participants, third grade teachers throughout the district were asked to decide whether a pupil would be handicapped if he went into fourth grade at his present level of performance. For the first three years of child’s education, 'the building I o! basic skills is emphasized. At the fourth grade level, he starts to put these skills to work. jj, INDEPENDENT READING “He is expected to do a lot of independent reading in subjects like math and social studies,” Hendershott said. The youngster unable to read on his own will find himself slipping further and further behind his classmates. Therefore, the children in the special summer program are considered to be at a crucial In their classrooms they have been using a wide variety of special equipment designed to| make good readers, listeners and speakers of them. ONCE A DAY Almost all of the youngsters worked with a special readuif teacher once a day, usually In groups of three or four and sometimes individually. Each also spent some time in the gymnasium as a break in the academic activities and, in educational terms, “developing his motor-perceptual ability.” Four field trips to points of in-! terest in southeastern Michigan] and Canada were scheduled fori " eadi participant.... •k it h These enrichment activities; were aimed at broadening the backgrounds of the youngsters and giving them something to write and talk about. The success of the program; will not be fully known until next May when the work of those who participated will be compared with those who should: have but did not, Hendershott said. SUMMER SCHOLARS - Selected third-grade pupils from Pontiac schools this summer have learned that sprucing up on their reading skills can be fun.

Administration supporters expected to win. Barring sudden shifts of sentiment or heavy pre-weekend absenteeism, the House appeared ready to beat back an attempt to kill the open housing section. The vote of this most controversial section of Johnson’s 1966 civil righto bill was expected to be very dose. Final action on other sections of the wide-ranging Mil apparently will have to wait until next week.

This would increase the membership in this club of really big eam-1 by three more than at the end of 1965. | And the total arnlngs of DAWSON these leading corporations will be well above last year’s, despite some foot-dragging by the three motors and one of the two steels in the club. This was also true of the major-led Press, the nine biggest kept ity of corporations, those who their comparative rank — from make more modest profits. No, 1 General Motors with $1.14-billion in net income in the first At the half-way mark in the race this year, 18 companies already had made more than $100 million each. With the few exceptions, most of the companies are setting a faster earnings pace this year than at the same time in 1965. GAINS REPORTED The after-tax earnings of 1,316 nonfinancial corporations tabulated by the First National City Bank, New York, totalled $13.3-billion, or 12 per cent more than in the 1965 first half. Year-to-year gains were reported by 83 per cent of the companies. Iheir second quarter profits this year came to $6.9 billion, up 8 per cent from the March quarter and 12 per cent above the like 1965 period. Manufacturing companies showed an 11 per cent gain in the first half of 1966 over the year earlier figures. Railroads were up 30 per cent. Electric and gas utilities were up 6 per cent and telephone and telegraph companies 12 per cent. ★ ★ ★ But it is the biggest money earners that produce the really flashy figures at the half-way point in 1966.

S. plants. The output, lowest of any week in the past two years, was prelude to next week when 11 more assembly plants begin their 1967 model production. Ford’s Wixom, Mich., plant has been on 1967 work for three weeks. ★ ★ ★ It compared with last week’s 66,723 cars and the 107,658 built in the corresponding week last year. Calendar year output climbed to 5,400,812 versus for the same span of 1965, according to figures compiled by the trade publication Automotive News. ★ ★ ★ U. S truck plants turned out 13,440 vehicles this week compared with 25,224 last week and 30,980 in the same week year. Truck output thus far in le calendar year reached ,128,362 versus 1,087,023 for the corresponding period last in bread prices and a similar rise in the price of milk. FTC Chairman Paul Rand Dixon acknowledged the investigation was underway shortly after Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman announced in New York Thursday that he was ordering such an inquiry. “This investigaton will determine exactly where and to whom the consumer pays his food dollar when he buys bread and milk and other food items that make up the market basket,” Freeman told New York City councilmen. He said it was not the farmer who was profiting, for recent increases in the prices could justify no more than a half cent increase for bread and a penny for milk. Son Is Shot asaProwter six months to No. 9 California Standard Oil with $212,929,000. But Mobil Oil had moved into 10th place with $174.6 million. For the whole of 1965 General Electric was 10th, but in mid-1966 it was 11th with $172.6 million. After GM, in order, come AT&T as No. 2, Jersey Standard Oil, Ford, Texaco, IBM, Gulf Oil. Du Pont is No. 8. OTHER COMPANIES Other companies making ; more than $100 million in the first six months of 1966 — their fiscal year — are Eastman Kodak, Indiana Standard (HI, U.S. Steel, Shell Oil, Union Carbide and Chrysler, with Sears Roebuck also seemingly assured of place in the club on the basis of its first quarter performance. Seventeen other old-time club members already have reported better than $50 million for the first half and thus remain in good standing. The three newcomers likely to enter the $100 million club for all 1966 are those who made more than $50 million in the first half, although not netting $100 million in all 1965. They are American Cyanamid, Alcoa and International Paper. While GM and Ford retained their rank at the half-way mark, Chrysler had slipped from 16th place in all 1965 to 17th at mid-1966, U.S. Steel which was 13th last yeat is now 14th in rank. But Bethlehem Steel has advanced to the 19th post this year from the 21st spot for all 1965. Despite the slippage in auto and steel earnings in the first | half, the profit outlook for all 1966 was bright for most corporations. Profit margins have held high because of rising sales and use of more technically efficient plants. Threats of rising materials and labor cost next year may change the picture, but at the 1966 mid-point continued profit gains for the rest of the year seemed likely for most members of the $100 million club. iM# HAS IDEAS “I have some ideas, but I not going to give the ideas to thej^p investigators so the investigation will be helped and not hindered,” Freeman said. But he warned the public not to “make the farmer the scapegoat for increases in the cost of living and for the inflationary pressures that may now exist.” A modest price increase to aid farmers “has been long delayed,” he said.
