Schools Likely to Get Okay on Variable Levy County Districts Could Lose $1 Million if Uniform Tax Vetoed Developments in Lansing yesterday indicated that school districts will be allowed to levy variable millage even if this requires exceeding the legal limit of 15 mills. Oakland County school districts had estimated a lo.ss of $1 million next year if variable millage—a uniform levy in each district at the tax rate of each district’s main municipaiity — was not allowed. ★ yh Rep. George Montgomery, D-Detroit, chairman of the House Taxation Committee, .said yesterday that his committee has ' been assured by the State Tax Commission it will issue no blanket prohibition against a school district levying a uniform tax even though a portion of the district is in a township where the uniform rate would push taxation over the legal 1.5-inill limit. Montgomery said the committee expects to report out favorably a bill by Sen. Sander Levin, D-Berkley, which would allow the uniform variable levy. Preliminary tax rates set by the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board laat month ranged from belowins mills in some areas to 15.14 mills in others. This tptal combines the allocation to county government, school systems and townships. The allocation board was scheduled to set fihal rates last Thursday but delayed this action to the June 7 deadline pending a review of the county budget and legislative develop-. ments. . ^ Vi, In Today's Press Latin Crisis Rebels want preconditions to Dominican election - PAGE A-11. ‘ GOP Parley Wide differences appearing at policy talks—PAGE C-10.

However, they did not practice approaching any other satellite, LATE ADDITION The plan to have White emerge into space also was a late addition to the flight plan and was announced only last week. The major goal of (he four-day Gemini 4 mtssion Is to determine how w^H men and machinery can withstand a long period in space, with emphasis on medical data on whether the astronauts suffer any physical or mental degradation. The decision not to try to move any closer to the booster was made so as not to jeopardize the long duration goal. ★ ★ * "Beautiful! beautiful!” were the fitst words to come down from the spaceship as it soared into orbit. GIVEN GO-AHEAD As Gemini 4 whirled above the Carnarvon, Australia, tracking station 50 minutes after launch, the Mission Control Center gaVe them a go-ahead for at least three of their planned 62 circuits. This was the first of nine critical “Go-no go” decisions scheduled for the mission. The others were set 'for orbits 3, 5,16, 20, 31, 35, 46 and 50. As the great Titan 2 booster rocket drilled the Gemini 4 spacecraft on the start of its lengthy ride, McDivitt reported to Mission. Control Center: “It looks great up here.” Minutes later, the 7,600-pound spacecraft was in ah orbit ranging from 100 to 175 miles above the earth. This was pr^isely the orbital path intended.

GOLDEN TETHER Ahead of the spacec-aft on a golden tether, you plumniet together at some 17,.500 miles per hour -- and yet you feel not so mucli as a breath of breeze -for there is no air, ■ A- ★ ' A The sun stands out in the blackness as a great light bulb that seemingly spreads- no light. It is only when the sun's rays, strike a surface that the radiation Is seen. There is no air lo buffet and spread the light. A ★ A Below, you see the earth's blanket- of air glowing with the sun’s light, splitting the white light into the splatter of color a.s the world of men know it. You feel the full brunt of the sun's radiation. You turn toward the sun and feel the immediate slap of heat at your face as the rays come through your visor. And you are thankful, too, that the visor is filtered to protect your eyes from the cruel light. COMMAND PILOT Behind you — gleaming on its sun-side -i- is the spacecraft and your command pilot keeping a careful eye on your movements. And you know that the sun-side of the craft is hot, some 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and the shade side is ^rhaps 200 degrees below zero. And that is probajbly also the temperature variation of your suit exterior if you merely stood here and didn’t move. ■A A A The earth stretches out like some hazy plain — painted in browns and golds and purples almost like colors you hadn’t seen before,. And perhaps through the haze you see the long peninsula of Florida stretching into the bjue Atlantic. But it is a free and wonderful feeling — and you have an unhappy thought that you must be an awkward creature in this clean, stark world of circular movements. The space gun in your hand spits out a small jet of oxygen and propels you side to side, to and fro, and it is a fine way to get around, a beautiful toy in this daydream sort of world. 'NOT TOO HARD You remember -to take care and not pull too hard on your tether line, becabsie in this weightless arena, you know the only laws that hold are that any action has its equal and opposite reaction. '’Strike an object to send it reeling and you send yourself reeling as well. If you didn’t have a helmet on and ydu coughed, it would back you up.

Death Official, Morgue Law to Be Sought Prosecutor S. Jerome Bronson said today he will seek legislation to establish a morgue and the post of medical examiner in Oakland County. Bronson said he is sending a copy of the proposed law to State Sen. Sander Levin, D-Berkley, and three other legislators in hopes a bill might be introduced in the next legislative session. . The proposied law would provide that the County Board of Supervisors appoint a qualified pathologist as medical examiner to supervise and direct county deputy coroners. Also, the. |aw would provide that the county establish a facility for the storage of bodies until burial. Oakland County presently does not have a morgue; A -.'A A Another provision of the proposed law would make it necessary to obtain permission from the county medical exam-iner.before cremating a body. Bronson said this would prohibit the disposal of a bod'y without a police investigation, whenever criminal violence in connection with the death is possible or suspected. To Air Boating Control Need The need for local boating controls on Oakland County lakes will be considered tonight at a public hearing in the courthouse auditorium. Conducted by the Michigan Boating Control Committee, the 7 p.m. hearing will deal with ways of alleviating problems encountered on lakes in the county- The Oakland County Board of Supervisors is seeking adoption of regulations that would prohibit the possession of alcoholic beverages by any person occupying a boat on a county lake.

Offidals also want to increase I the amount of township money I applied to Oakland County matching fund.s for the black-1 topping of collector roads. TO IMPROVE ROADWAYS Their aim is to improve 18 miles of roadway, at an approximate cost of , $125,000 a year to the township. This Is the most the township can spend and have matched by the county. Designated for Improvement arc Square Lake from Opdykc to Adams, Eastways, Square Lake ffom Kiingensmlth to the western township boundary, Lone Pine, Wing Lake, Ward, Walnut Lake, Kensington and Wabeqk. In addition, the two-mile Inkster stretch between Bloomfield and West Bloomfield townships could be improved if each of the communities paid 25 per cent of the cost, Supervisor Homer, Case said.

The proposed construction will be financed from a bond issue approved two years ago at the polls. New schools arc planned on Bird and VanZandt streets and an eight-room addition is proposed f,or the Riverside School. In other action tonight, the board will consider a resolution passed last month by the Waterford Township Board calling for sidewalk overpasses to promote greater walking safety for school children. The township board proposal resulted fro*m a study suggested a year ago by the school board on the feasibility _ of installing sideVnalks throughout the towh-ship as a safety measure. ALTERNATE PROPOSAL It offered the alternate proposal of the overpasses after deciding that the sidewalk cost would be prohibitive.. Also tonight, the board will hear a curriculum report on computer education by Nicholas Menghini, director of the data processing program. Negro Deputy Shot Dead; Armed While Man Held BOGALUSA, La. (AP) - A Negro deputy sheriff was killed ar.d another wounded when gunfire from a pickup truck riddled their patrol cur on a lonely road near this racially tense mill town IjRst night. An hour later the town marshal at Tylertown, Miss., who heard of the shooting by police radio, stopped a 1054 pickup truck with a Gonfederatc flag tag on its front bumper, The (ruck’s white occupant, Ernis R.

(AP) » Lyndft Bird Jidinson tMroNMy will have a few hangnails after two weeks In Grasshopper this summer. She will be In the heart of the Fort Apache Indian reservation escavating a pueblo believed to have been built sometime In the 14th century. . The President's daughter will be a guest student of the University of Arizona Archaeology Field School, and t>r, Raymond H. Thompson, head of the school, says she, will be treated the same as the‘others. “She will be one of 21 students here, but she will stay only two wedks Instead of the regular eight. We don't plan to make any exceptions for her except for allowing her girlfriend and the Secret Service to stand guard,’’ 'niompson said. PAYING OWN WAY Thompson said he had received a request from Miss Johnson to visit the school. He sold the only difference betweeh her and the other students was that she was paying her own way and was not getting any college credit for the two weeks. Barbara Cooley, a widow who owns the Apache Trading Post at Cibecue near here said she was delighted Lynda Bird was coming to town. “I think this Is a wonderful thing. It’s about time Cibecue and Grasshopper got a little publicity. We’ve jgot some good people around here. “Maybe with her coming they will get this road fixed, I think this is the worst road In the United States. One look at this road and the Secret Service will say it’s too dangerous for that girl to travel on.’’ Mrs. Cooley said she was suye the Indians would plan something for Lynda Bird. “We've got about 800 Apaches here and every one of them are Democrats,'' she said.

' . ANSWER: It's a wonderful sight to see a “shooting star’’ suddenly dash across the night sky and vanish almost immediately. Shooting stars, or rneteors, are pieces of stone or metal, or a combination of the two, which form a part of our solar, system and travel around the sun, ' These objects are invisible in tlie night sky but when the earth comes close enough to attract one of thenl because of gravity,, the, meteor comes whizzing down (A). When it enters the layer of atmosphere about 65 miles up, the meteor, traveling at tremendous speed, becomes so heated by friction with the air that it turns white hot (B). Its trail as It hurtles down when white hot is what you see (C). Most meteors are completely burned up before they hit the earth (D), which is fortunate for us, as about two hundred ikillllon enter Earth’s atmosphere every day. Some meteors are large enough, however, for fragments of them to reach the earth. Such fragments are called meteorites. Many meteorites have been preserved. There is one in the Museum of Natdral History, N.Y., weighing 15W tons. FOR YOU TO DO: Showers or swarms of meteors, which are said to be fragments of comets, occur at certain times every year. Watch for meteor showers on the following dates; July 29, August 12 and October 22.

Johnson, sensitive to criticism, acknowledged at his news conference Tuesday his awarene.ss of criticism for his handling of the Dominican problem. But he said he’d rather be criticized for his action than not to have acted. This was one point of MARLOW criticism: since this country is a member of Ihe Inter-American system — the Organization of American States — why didn’t he tell Ihe OAS he was going to use troops before he sent them in?

Hiey needed so much money because of their desire to spend they had to cut beer taxes. Now they will have the alcoholics and beer promoters voting for them. This certainly demonstrates that they placed the welfare of special Interest groups ahead of the people of the state, A ClTIZteN Going over ground he had covered before, he said: The United States had discussed the Dominican problem with Latln-American ambassadors and the OAS a number of times between April M, when the revolt began, and the night of April 28, when he decided to use troops. But nowhere did he indicate that in any of these consultations the Latin Americans were told Johnson might, or would, use troops if he thought the situation wa.s be; coming unbearable, ★ ★ ★ Johnson explained the OAS was notified immediately after he went on television tp announce tihe pse of troops but by then if was public knowledge. APPARENT REASON In Johnsdn’s words Tuesday, this apparently was the rea.son; “We did not want to announce they (the troops) were on their way until they had landed for obvious security reasons” The fog set in when he was asked what were the implications of the move in terms of future policy in Latin America. Johnson became vague. There’s an obvious r e a s o n for his vagueness: the Latin Americans don’t take kindly to American intervention in their business anywhbre. By not saying the United States would intervene, he let the OAS face this: Will it set up a standby or permanent military force which can move in speedily to block a Communist threat in the hemisphere, thus making American intervention unnecessary? . The OAS is not a speedy outfit. Even if the United, States thought fast' inter-American action against a Communist threat was necessary, the OAS might get lost in arguments and delays. QUESTION unanswered Johnson did not specifically answer the question: Would U. 6. troops be used anywhere in this hemisphere to prevent Ri^ seizure'of power? But one thing seems certain: either the OAS arranges to meet a Communist grab for power in a hurry or Johnson, or any other American president, will use American troops. By LEON DENNEN Newspaper Enlcrprise Assn. BEIfIJN- The “liberal thaw,” though late In coming, has finally caught up even with East Germany, A joke Ea.st Germans tell these days goes like this: On the Western side of ihe Communist-built wall that divides Berlin a little girl, while eating a banana, shouts to an East Berlin boy who stands on the other side of the wall: bearded Ulbricht, for all his tentative “liberalism," is the most faithful pupil of Lenin. The German’s hatred for Ulbricht is only to be expected, kut he is hardly popular even with his Russian masters. “But you have no bananas.” “You have no communism,” replies the East Berlin boy. “We will have communism,” cries the West Berlin girl. “Then you will have no bananas,” retorts the East Berliner. It is true that there is an abundance of bananas (and other goods) in rich capitalist West Berlin, There are none oh the Communist side of the wall. But the mere fact that the joke could be told to an American without fear in East Berlin is a sign of the changes that have taken place in Red-ruled East Europe in recent yehrs. NO DOUBT There is no doubt that Walter Ulbricht’s regime, taking a cue, from Hungary and Romania, has gone out of its way to make life more tolerable for East Germans. A Soviet diplomat obviously summed up the .Kremlin’s feelings about the man when he .said to an American: "Do you really like your Germans better than we like ours?” But the unscrupulous and heavy-handed Red boss is still useful to,Moscow’s purpo.ses of keeping East Germany shackled to Russia. Ulbricht is also faced with the dilemma that confronts Russia’s other “liberal” puppets behind the Iron Curtain. He must feed the East Germans small- doses of liberalism to make the Red dictatorship more palatable. However, liberalization offers increased opportunities for East German population to promote unity with \Vest Germany. ‘Let’s Restore Uistorieal Landmarks’ As a native of Michigan, it was gratifying to read about the restoration of a histbrical home in Waterloo, Michigan.

Writers and artists, provided they do not challenge the Marx-ist-Leninist dogma, are free to experimeiit with new literary and art forms.

By STERUNG F. GREEN WASHINGTON Iff) - The 1964 tax cut worked stimulative wonders. But should reducing taxes become a habit, like taking pep pills? The issue has been raised, in connection with tlie pending excise tax reductions of $4.8 billion, by an eminent critic --Howard C. Petersen, banker, lawyer, and former high official of the Defense, State and Treasury departments. Petersen questioned bnlv the timing, not the desirability, of excise tax repeals. “Tax cuts taken- continually can be debilitating,” he .observed, and went on to urge: “Our powerful pdlicy medicine of discretionary tax cuts can — And some groups already are calling for a second major income tax cut, to follow ttie excise reductions. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce made such an appeal to Congress last week. But there are Mgns of caution even within the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. A wave of price boosts is “disturbing,” Chairman Gardner Ackley said recently. The television program presented recently to test driving skills under various hazardous situations was extremely interesting. Everyone was made aware that driving requires all the skills and cautions at our disposal. The capstone of the program came wilh the last question, the relation between drinking and driving. Fifty per cent of all highway fatalities involve a driver who has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This means that more than 20,0()0 people die every year on this account, not to mention the greater number who are injured. , 1*r ★ ★ , ■ ’ * . Our state legislature is now wrestling with a Sunday Liquor Bill. House Bill 2149, which is to affect Wayne County only, if it passes. If this bill passes it will spread like grass fire across the State. In Pontiac certain liquor establishments are seeking to up-grajle their places of business, which in essence means that alcdholic beverages would be more easily accessible. These are steps in the wrong dii^ection. Not to drink may not be popular socially, but total abstinence is the only answer for us if we want to be part of the solution and not the problem. r REV. T.

West Berlin, a capitalist Island deep in the Red world, is gay and colorful. But in East Berlin the housewife is still warned not to demand foods which are unobtainable but to change her diet by cooking dishes such as mashed dried peas, mixed with soya bean flour, in place of potatoes.
