The total includes 14,000 Air Force and Air National Guard reservists and 600 Navy air reservists. The re.serviSts .called in 1962 were never actually committed in any operations and remained on active duly only one month. ★ ★ lit Pentagon Lists Activated Units They could be held on duty for as long as two years. A White House official rai.sed the possibility of mobilizing .some ground troops also, but Army National Guard or Army ground reserve units would be called to active duty. How long it will take the air reservists’ units to be combat-ready was not immediately determined. The news of the call-up came as In 1961 the United .Stales called up 1.50.000 men. mostly Army, hut also some Air National Guardsmen, for the Uerlin crisis. Those reservists were held about 10 months.

A demand for the removal of Avon Township assessor John Marmon and the township’s three-man board of review was made last night by the Avon Township Committee for Fairer Taxes. Headed by Robert Thor, 3238 Donley, a group of about 50 persons appeared before the Township Board to also ask a reduction by Feb. J of total millage so that no property owner would pay in excess of 20 mills. of the township, though Thor claim.s a representative membership throughout Avon. Avon’s current millage, including school taxes, varies between 43 and 48 mills. He said he now planned to return there as a consultant and would be working at “.some special projects relating to the problems of the cities.’’ The group also asked that a competent a.ssessing firm be engaged to reassess all property in Avon Township. The Committee for Fairer Taxes, which claims to represent from 200 to 600 residents, is composed largely of home owners in the .southwestern portion COURT ACTION THREATENED The group has been active for about two years in dispute of township assessing practices ^ind high tax bills. There has been court action threatened at various times against the townships, but so far none has been taken, and Thor denied last night that his group would ncessarily seek court action to have its most recently presented demands met. Thor’s letter last night charged the as.sessor with “favoritism and incompetency placing an unfair burden of taxation on the average taxpayers and relieving some favored taxpayers of their just share of the burdens of taxation ” (Continued from Page 1 to A-4) By JEAN SAILE A protest group known as WHAR (Why Have Awful Roads?) has .set out after the three-man Oakland County Road Commission, aiming in the end to have the road group elected rather than appointed. An estimated 80 officials and residents from 10 townships met last night in Holly to organize a general protest over road conditions. “Our roads didn’t Feach their present condition in the last 30 to 60 days and they’re not going to be cured in the next 30 to 60 days,’’ said Ben East, WHAR chairman. The goal adopted by the group was “to initiate and support.legislation aimed at returning to the people a needed measure of democratic control over the County Road Commission, which at present is for all practical purposes answerable to no one.’’ One of the short-range goals was “to upgrade immediately the maintenance of these (rural) roads by more efficient and regular schedules of maintenance work and by the prompt repair of trouble spots.’’ East told the disgruntled officials and residents from a wide area of the county, that lasting road improvements might be some time in coming “but we haven’t the slightest intention of letting it (the protest) stop here. ” Representatives from AddLson, Avon, F^armington, Independence, Orion and Pontiac townships joined citizens from Rose, Holly, Groveland and Springfield town.ships to form a countywide organization with the long-range goal of making the offices of road commissioner elective rather than appointive. Reasons for organizing adopted by the group were set forth in a prepared statement. The WHAR statement charged that; ‘NEGLECTED STEPCHILD’ “For at least 10 years the rural road system has been Increasingly the neglected stepchild of the Oakland County Road Commission. The amount and quality of maintenance, apart from winter snowplowing, has declined steadily and almost no construction of gravel roads for replacement purposes has been carried out.

BY BOB WISLER Tlie public hearing on a proposed open housing ordinance at this week's City Commission meeting produced a variety of opinions. The most predominant was, according to tho.se in favor, that there is a need for such legislation Arguments against ranged far and In Today's Press Complete Ordinance, Page B~10 There was also evident a feeling, shared by many throughout the country, of genuine concern that various levels of government are too often dictating to Ihe average citizen. The combination and mixture of the.se feelings can often bring about a discomfort, a gnawing sense that Ihe people no longer control their lives or events, but rather the events are controlling their lives, and they are unable to do anything about it.

STATUS QUO This is the climate that produces a hunger for the status quo, a clinging to Ihe “way things were" and a resistance to any change. Another saw it as the “opening wedge” of greater and greater government control. Still others incongruously linked open housing with socialism and communism. In some instances there were tinges of outright racism, an apparent lack of understanding, a lack vof concern, distrust and even fear. A belief in the inviolableness of a person's property, perhaps the only steady and unchanging tangible thing in a rapidly changing world, seems sacred. “Nothing Ju.stifies confi.scaling a person’s properly rights, ” one man declared. Despite all tlie clinging to “property rights ” and chmmenls that abridging lhg.se rights is uncon.slitutional, the Constitution .says little about property rights. Article V of the Bill of Rights slates that no person shall “be deprived of lile, liberty or property, without due proce.ss of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” (f’ontihued on Page A-8, Col.-l) Warmer Weather Is on Its Way Car Carried Arsenal Frosty temperatures registering three above zero at 6 a m will become warm er tonight and tomorrow, according to the U.

Despite nearly 6,000 tons of bombs and rpcord air attacks for the third day in a row against the dug-in North Vietnamese, enemy guns continued to hit at the Khe Sanh base and i the three strategic hills the Marines control just to the northwest. By noon today, the North Vietnamese had dropped another 20 mortar and rocket rounds on the Marine positions protecting the northwestern approaches to South Vietnam 16 miles below the demilitarized zone. The day’s barrage followed on the heels of perhaps 300 rounds of heavy artillery, rockets and mortars that Communist gunners slammed into the combat base and the adjacent peaks Wednesday night, killing seven Leathernecks and wounding another 77. Of the 77 wounded, 37 had to be evacuated. ■k -k -k The North Vietnamese fired their 152mm guns, their biggest artillerv, at Khe Sanh for the first time. U S officers continued to expect a big enemy offensive against Khe Sanh. But the heaviest ground fighting reported was on the central coast some 2.30 miles to the southeast, where troops of the U.S. 1st Air Cavalry Division and the South Korean Capital Division reported 179 North Vietnamese killed in fighting Tuesday and Wednesdav near Phu Cat. Man Is Guilty in Kin's Slaying A jury yesterday afternoon found Paul McDonald, 40, guilty of first-degree murder in the May 2, 1967, death of his mother-in-law. Circuit Court Judge William R. Beasley set sentencing for Feb. 13. McDonald, who lived at 3399 Shimmons, Pontiac Township, at the time of the shooting, has been held in Oakland County Jail since he was arrested in May. Witnesses testified Mrs. Arthur Falls, 1315 Gettysburg, Avon Township, was shot in the chest by a 32-caliber rifle. Mrs. Falls’ husband and son, Gary, 22, testified that she was shot by McDonald in their presence. Falls said he and Gary were working outside when McDonald approached their home and forced them at gunpoint into the house and down a flight of basement stairs. As they were going down the stairs, Mrs. Falls was coming up, and McDonald shot the 49-year-old woman, they said. Mrs. Falls died instantly.
