Waterford School Mil (age, Bojnd Issue Are Defeated By MEL NEWMAN Disappointed Waterford Township school officials turned today to the task ot developing an austerity program in the wake of Saturday’s defeat of a bond issue and an operating tax proposal. j m * In a record turnout, township voters turned down a two-year nine-mill tax increase 5,564 to 4,038 and a $10.8-miHion bond issue 5,310 to 4,036. Both proposals lost in all eight precincts. Authorities must now decide where cutbacks will be made within the education program and they have begun studying jirioHties. REPERCUSSIONS COMING While no final decision has been made' as to the area of cutbacks, Dr. Don 0. Tatroe, superintendent of schools, in- dicated that repeitiissioHS will be frit in both the elementary schools and in personnel. “Unfortunately for both the children and the community at large,” Hb said, “it’s going to be very difficult to keep the best people we have and to get others.” h it W He said that reductions are likely in the elementary school program similar to those Already in effect in the secondary, school*. * ★ * Cutbacks in the number of school periods and in teaching staffs at secondary schools will remain in effect, he said. ACCREDITATION THREATENED These factors have already led to a threat from North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools (MCA) that accreditation of the tofon-ship high schools is in danger. “The results are very disappointing to hundreds of adults and children',” Tatroe said. He said the township now faces the task of deciding on $114 million in cutbacks, from what he described as an already meager base. Tatroe asserted that the election demonstrates that property taxes and local referendum* are .“poor methods of providing for schoolsNv^ OPPORTUNITIES MISSING “With local taxpayers saying no and Lansing saying the same,” he said, “our children just can’t get the, opportunities they need. “The outcome of the bond issue means that we’re losing the lead time neces-(Continued on Page A-2, Col. 5) The Weather U.I.

The opening date of the expanded peace talks is still in doubt pending foe outcome of another diplomatic dialogue between the United States and North Vietnam. ip! ★ ★ The shape of the table for the negotiations — of symbolic importance to the South Vietnamese and their rivals, the National Liberation Front — remained at issue after a week of private U.S.-North Vietnamese exchanges and threshed out other details for the first meeting of the delegations. The Communists demand a square table to match their argument that this will be a foursided conference in which the Vietcong’s NLF delegation has separate, equal status with the other throe. IGNORS NLF Ky reemphasized en his arrival the Saigon-Washington view of the parley as two-sided — between foe allies and the Communists. He refused to even speak of the NLF, which his government regards as an outlaw group. So the United States has proposed two long tables facing each other. U.S. diplomats said they were keeping in touch with the North Vietnamese in hopes of working out an agreement. * * * The conference already has been held up five weeks beyond the opening date envisioptd in President Johnson’s Oct. 31 bomb-bait package.

Saginaw St. Mexico, U.S. Set New Path for Rio Gronde MEXICO CITY (UPI) -When President Johnson and, the president of Mexico touch off a dynamite charge next week, they will send, the waters of the Rio Grande boiling into a new channel and shave a scrap of land off United States ritory because the border still wanders. * * * Johnson and President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz will meet Dec. 13 at El Paso, Tex., and turn the waters of the border river into the “Lopez Mateos Channel.” The concrete-lined channel was built as part of the settlement of the century-long dispute over possession of the Chamizal (the thicket), a 437-acre piece of scrub land. The Chamizal, originally Mexican territory, wound up north of the Rio Grande in the 1860s, s | the meandering river changed course to the southward, and eventually became part of El Paso. ★ ★ * Mexico pressed relentlessly for its return. Formei presidents Adolfo Lopez Mateos and John P. Kennedy agreed it should revert to Mexico, but it was Johnson and Diaz Ordaz who carried out the transfer last October. PERMANENT BED The river was moved back to its old 1860 channel, which was lined with concrete to make it stay put. Johnson and Diaz Ordaz will turn the river waters into the new channel — named after Lopez Mateos, who has been in a coma for more than a year, the victim of a brain hemorrhage. * ★ * A series of dams btyilt along the Rio Grande as a project by both nations — and better survey methods — have eased the “Rio Grande problem’’ somewhat. But there are still new twists in what one high U.S. official called “the long sordid history of the wandering border." * ★ ★ A heavy rainstorm can increase'or decrease the size of either nation as the flooded river recedes, leaving a new channel behind, and cutting off banks of riverside land. CHANGING NATIONALITY By mutual agreement, a piece of land or less than 400 acres, with a population of less than 250 people, belongs automatically to the United States if it winds up on the northern side of the river, or to Mexico if it winds up on the south side. * * * The inhabitants go with the land, changing citizenship the river wanders. Do they mind? “No, they’re all Mexican-Americans, or Americanized Mexicans, and they don’t seem to care,” said one U.S. official Involved in handling the problem. * ★ ★ The two nations negotiate over bigger tracts carved by the river. There have been 220 cases of “annexation by erosion” and nine tracts totalling about 2,600 acres are currently being talked over, mostly land that started out on the U .S. side-of the river and migrated to Mexico.

The Sentinel System is to use two types of missiles•—'* the Spartan and . the Sprint. The Spartan is said to be long range, while the Sprint is 'short range. Saperstein estimated the range of the Spartan at about 400 miles, while the Sprint would reach only about 30 to 40 miles. The WSU physicist explained his con- cern for the safety of neighboring populated areas by contrasting the technology of offensive and defensive missiles. According to Saperstein, several safety interlocks control the firing of hydrogen-armed offensive missiles and there is time for each procedure. However, defensive missiles by nature are to be fired on short notice — a minute or two, said the scientist. ‘NOT AS SAFE’ “It’s implausible that thesis (Spartan PERSEVERANCE PIENTA — This might be the nickname for Walter Pienta, 38, of 6843 Meath Hunt, Troy, who was honored with a certificate of merit from Chrysler Corp. for his achievement of a bachelor’s degree in business administration after 19 years of on-again, off-again study.

Terry L Shultis, 525 Munger, was appointed to the trusteeship to replace James Alexander, who resigned.. Supervisor C. Milton Nelson said the resignation was required by law when Alexander became a U.S. Post Office Department employe. Planning commission and zoning board of appeals appointments were all new, due to the township’s recently adopted zoning ordinance. Named to the commission were Waiter E. Lentz, 848 Milford, chairman; Frank B. Wolfschlager, 180002 Taylor Lake; Clarence O. Gordon, 1608 Davlsburg; Chester E. Rundell; Jack Ttiorsby and Shultis. Prior to adoption of the zoning ordinance, Lentz, Wolfschlager, Gordon and Rundell were members of the township zcning board. Lentz also chairs the board of appeals, which includes Alexander and Carlton F. Turner, and the board of review, which includes Robert Schuneman, 11920 N. Milford and Charles Frushour.

He recalled that last year when the hydrogen bomb accidentally dropped off the coast of Spain was recovered, three of the four locks had opened. Had the fourth opened, the bomb would have exploded. SEVERAL MEGATONS Saperstein said the Spartan missiles, which are housed just under ground in silos, are rated at several megatons, while the Sprint missiles carry a smaller warhead in the kiloton range. Sometimes called the anti-Chinese missile, the Spartans are calculated to provide a “light" shield against the relatively unsophicticated weapons the Red Chinese are expected to be capable of over the next five to 10 years, according to congressional debate on the subject. ★ ★ ★ A much more sophisticated and expensive ABM system wquld be necessary to prevent a Russian missile attack and even if such a system were provided, some governmental spokesmen have said such a shield would not be impenetratble. The Sentinel ABM system calls for each site to have both the long-range and the short-range missiles, a sophisticated control computer and a radar system. SEPARATE RADAR SITE Saperstein indicated a separate radar site would be necessary for a Pontiac area Sentinel Installation. Prior to Saperstein’s outcry against the proposed Sentinel installation here. Avon Township officials had disclosed that a site was being sought by the Army in that township. Discussion then THE PONTIAC PRESS MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1968 A—4 ha News Holly School Board to Mull Tax Vote, Class Squeeze HOLLY — A possible school district election for millage renewal and another proposal to relieve classroom shortages are slated for discussion at tonight's board of education meeting. According to Schools Supt. Russell Haddon, the special election would be for renewal of a one-year 3-mill levy for school operations which was approved by a narrow margin in June. * * ★ Earlier, the 3-mill proposal had been defeated twice alone and twice as part of a 10-mill package. Haddon said the board will have little choice but to ask renewal of the levy, which he said would produce about $100,000 annually in additional tax money. THIRD PROPOSAL The proposal to relieve classroom crowding will be the third presented to the board. Earlier proposals involved half-day sessions, which the board has been reluctant to approve. Unexpected enrollment increases in the district this fall boosted class size to over 30 students per teacher in many sections, explain school officials. for this year is 3,378 — 236 over last year and double the anticipated increase. There are 825 students in grades 7-9 and 724 students in grades 10:12. A $5.2-million bond issue for new con struction was turned down by voters in February. The latest plan, Haddon said, will include use of the two-classroom Washington Street School, which has not been used (or classes for several years. While the proposal will allow accommodation of the student body without half-day sessions, 170 seniors would start an hour early, Haddoh said to ease crowding in certain areas. The board has been interviewing architects prior to coming up with another building program plan which might be acceptable to voters. The enrollment Increase wafc greatest In elementary grades. Total enrollment In W. Bloomfield Twp. Volunteer Fire Dept. Pondered WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — A study on the feasibility of creating a volunteer fire department is being made by Township Supervisor John N. Doherty. The study was suggested at this time because of changes occurring in the fire department. The township is negotiating with the Tri-City Fire Board to sell the township’s fire station, in Keego Harbor. West Bloomfield has nine full time firemen. ★ * * The Tri-City Fire Board indicated it had planned to begin service Jan. 1 as this was the cutoff date for fire protection in the three cities. Doherty, however, r has said that West Bloomfield probably will not be able to vacate the Keego Harbor ^station by that time. West Bloomfield still must decide where to relocate the fire personnel and equipment. ★ * * The township has two stations besides the one in Keego Harbor and would like to build another one in the eastern portion of the township. Yule Decor Aid Asked in Keego County Sheriff's Deputy Killed in M15 Auto Crash KEEGO HARBOR — Help is needed to carry out plans to decorate this city for the Christmas holidays. “We still need $150 to help pay for the decorations," Explained Robert Walosin, chairman of the Keego Harbor Planning Commission. The total bill is $764. Decorations will be hung on the four posts at the corner of Orchard Lake and Cass Lake roads, the main Intersection of the city. The group went ahead and purchased decorations because time was running out, according to Walosin. ★ ★ * He added “I think It's the duty of residents to participate in this matter. It is our city and something to be proud of and to decorate nicely." Contributions can be sent to City Hall. Checks may be made out to the Keego Harbor Planning Commission a n d marked “for decorating fund” on the back. MONEY DUE IN WEEK The decorations arrived Friday and the money is due next Monday. They are of good quality and should last for many years, according to Walosin. His hope is to add additional decorations each year so eventually the entire city will be decorated. ★ ★ * “With extra donations, over and above the needed $150, we could take advantage of a 10 per cent discount in June for additional decorations," added An Oakland County sheriff’s Deputy was killed yesterday in Genesee County when his car ran off M15 and struck a utility pole. Deputy Thurman F. Sauvage, 55, of 1984 Viola, Ortonville, died in the accident which occurred half a mile south of Kipp Road in Atlas Township at 5:51 p.m., according to a spokesman for the Genesee County Sheriff’s Dept. ★ ★ ★ He was taken to Wheelock Hospital in Goodrich, where he was pronounced dead on arrival: Sauvage, an 18-year veteran of the Oakland County force, worked for several years as a court services officer, responsible for transporting prisoners from jail to court. ★ * * Service will be 2 p.m. Wednesday at the C. F. Sherman Funeral Home, Ortonville, with burial in Ortonville Cemetery. Surviving are his wife, Odah; two daughters, Mrs. Barbara Belanger of Grand Blanc and Mrs. Lynda Vantine of Ortonville; a son, James T. of Flint; his mother, Mrs. Mildred Sauvage of Bay City; a sister, Mrs. Virginia Woodward of Lapeer; a brother, Charles of Lyon Township; and seven grandchildren. ?

Milford and White Lake telephone patrons, served by the General Telephone Co., will be able to call Pontiac and Commerce numbers toll-free. ★ ★ ★ The present 20-cent charge in Pontiac and the 10-cent charge .in Commerce for White Lake and Milford calls will be eliminated. Numbers will be dialed without the use of the present code “1," according to Charles B. Woodhead, community relations manager for Michigan Bell Telephone Co.’s local office. ★ ★ * The Milford and White Lake plwni^ numbers will also be included in the April 1969 issue of the Pontiac Area Telephone directory. A directory supplement containing those numbers now may be obtained from the Bell business office. The Pontiac and Commerce numbers affected include 33, 391, 681, 682 and 36. ★ * ★ Wodhead said that there would be no increase in monthly charges as a result of the enlarged local calling area. The change Is the result of greatly-increased volume of telephone traffic between the areas. Michigan Bell and General Telephone had received Michigan Public Service Commission approval for the change in ratej. Romeo Votes Today on Four Mills for Operation of Schools ROMEO — Voters in this school district will go to the polls today in a special election on renewal of a four-mill operating tax levy. The election is the third for the district this year. ■■ ★ ★ f In January, voters turned down a proposed 8-mill package consisting of 3 mills renewal and 5 additional. However, both were approved in June, along with a $2.3 million bond issue for construction. According to Schools Supt. T. C. Filp-pula, the district is faced with a projected $119,000 deficit by June 1969 and, even With cuts in all areas, would end up $10,000 in the red. ★ * * The system presently levies 27.61 mills for operating expenses, and 8.98 mills for building. had been about the loss of a prime corner for commercial development. * ★ ★ Township officials carried their concern to the Army, but have not disclosed the results of that meeting. In questioning the safety of the missiles, Saperstein said that even the Army admits a slight possibility of an accident, which could happen anytime in the unloading and storage of the missiles. HUGE CRATER Saperstein points out that a ground level explosion would excavate a crater 250 feet deep and a half-mile wide. Buildings would be knocked down within a radius of five miles. There would be enough heat generated to burn anyone within 14 to 18- miles. An even wider area would be hit by the fallout. ★ ★ ★ Saperstein concluded that his whole point was to have the subject discussed and decided in the open and not decided quietly by an unknown Pentagon administrator. “I urge people to write their congressmen," said the physicist. TaxpayerGroup Asks Changes in County Setup The Oakland County Homeowners and Taxpayers Association has proposed four items for the restructuring of the County Board of Supervisors which it contends will thwart what it calls the concentration of county power in “a few select people.” The proposals, signed by George H. Williams, chairman of the group’s county committee, have been mailed to each supervisor-elect. * ★ ★ They suggest: • That the chairman of the board appoint all committees, but not select the chairmen of those committees. • That each committee elect its own chairman. • That the chairman of each standing committee act as a member of an executive council (replacing the present ways and means committee). • That the chairman of the county board serve as exofficio chairman of the executive counciL ‘FAIRER PARTICIPATION’ “We believe this simple but highly democratic procedure will provide wider and fairer participation in all county functions," said Williams. In an effort to limit spending, Williams also suggests the establishment of a general accounting office, separate from the board of auditors and directly responsible to the supervisors. ★ ★ ★ The duties of this group, he reports, would be to define all county spending as mandatory or permissive, conduct performance audits on all cqunty departments and review all department requests for new or expanding programs. * * ★ “We are not so naive as to believe the present county government establishment will find any merit in our suggestions," writes Williams, “even though we can point to professional verse And chapter in support of these views." Robbery Suspects Face Examination Examination will be Thursday in Harrison Township Justice Court, Macomb County, for two area men suspected in a series of seven area gas station robberies. Robert L.

The girls, after spending a summer at a riding academy and boarding school, told a judge in Santa Monica, Calif., Juvenile Court they would not return home because the mansion was the scene of wild parties and was “in a constant state of uproar.” On Nov. 4 a judge told them to choose between their home or juvenile hall. They chose juvenile hall, but after —Jour days in the detention home they said their tale of wild parties had been exaggerated and asked to return home. On Friday, Superior Court Judge Edward R.

Today’s School Economics Dictate Year-Round Plant Use! In all this welter of opinions about the location of our high school, another point looms in the background. Should schools run 12 months? Isn’t that the economical way? ★ ★ ★ This movement is far from new and has already been adopted wholeheartedly by many colleges and universities, including our own Oakland U. The National Education Association says that more than 80 high school districts aropnd |the Country are studying the wisdom of the plan. They recognize there aren’t enough “ole fishin’ holes’’ to keep the modern youth occupied. Hence, they wander aimlessly around the streets during the summer period. School would be a tremendous improvement. ★ ★ * The most economical months in the year to operate are the ones in which we close. No heat is required. There’s no snow shoveling and other winter factors. Attendance if Unquestionably easier for the students. Originally, schools and universities were closed in the summer months to allow the students to help with the chores on the farms and kindred activities. But that day has gone. Students now idle the time away or find jobs in various institutions. This last is certainly commendable but if everyone attended school the full 12 ■ months, graduation would come that much sooner along with better-paying jobs that are permanent. It’s idle mockery to pass a sturdy school building during the latter part of June, plus all of July and August, and find it surrendered to the birds who chirp merrily from the roof and flock around the main entrances undisturbed. ★ ★ ★ Have we ever had a local in-depth study of keeping our schools open 12 months a year? Isn’t this a worthwhile trend which doesn’t necessarily have to await the construction of the new high school? > • One More Place Where We've David Lawrence Says: LBJ-Nixon Transition Smooth WASHINGTON - The first month of the “interregnum" has been characterized by the most friendly and constructive relationship that has prevailed Holiday Season Mail . . . Post office authorities issued a list Of dates for early mailings :mj special circumstances that have come and gone. But the biggest bulk of the Holiday Season cards and letters looms ahead. Washington and local authorities urge you to dash off those Christmas cards right now and scurry to the post office soon. Really, you’ll be doing yourself a favor as well as the harried postal employes. They always do a yeoman job around the holidays but no one can dig out completely when he’s buried under tons and tons of letters and cards. And don’t forget to use the zip code and your own return address. These ate basic things and sometimes: they spell the difference between delivery and complete failure. Help the post office. Help postal employes. And yes—help yourself. Christmas Savings Clubs . . . This is the time of year when the “Christmas Savings Clubs” become tremendously important and loom large in the private lives of those who have been shrewd enough to participate, Suddenly, everyone is aware that the Holiday Season is here and that there remains a formidable list of relatives and friends that must be remembered with gifts in one form or another. This is no inconsequential item financially. It runs into heavy sugar and often it comes at a time when you aren’t quite prepared. The Christmas Savings Club is a perfect answer. All during the year a small amount can be sliced off the old pay check without any serious inconvenience. The total isn’t too important at the time. But when you add all of those modest sums up and the bank produces a single check for the total, you believe in Santa Claus completely. (live this serious thought. Weigh the obvious advantages.

I understand 325 employes are involved. It looks like 88 employes rule over 237. The union claims 51 per cent or more vote for and want a union. Most employes are told before a union vote that the majority signed up and an employe will be fired if he doesn't sign. Most employes do not want trouble and have noSegai means to use.

In time, the cardinal reluctantly told him. Mayer was dumbfounded. The cardinal wore the exact same diminutive size as he did! So he sent over to his estate and had one pair from his large closet of shoes delivered to Spellman. Thereafter, each Christmas the cardinal received a pair of L. B.’s shoes.

(AP) - A sheriff and a jailer were shot fatally Sunday night by a man who escaped from the Wicomico County jail, state police reported. Alfred T. Truit Jr., state’s attorney, said Joseph J. Bartholo-mey, 21, of Baltimore has been charged In warrants with shooting Sheriff Samuel Graham and Albert L. Kelly, a deputy. State police sent out an immediate alert to close off the Delmarva Peninsula, composed of Delaware and the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia, and local police throughout the area were alerted. Truit said Bartholomey acted as the inmates were returning to their cells from a recreation area. SHOT IN HEAD Graham, 62, was shot In the head and chest. Kelly, also 62, was shot In the head. It was not known where the pistol was obtained. Police said Bartholomey went from the Jail area on the third floor of the county courthouse into the sheriff’s residence, which adjoins the jail. The escapee used a stairway to reach the first floor and fled from the courthouse on foot. * * * Truitt said Bartholomey had been arrested about 10 days ago on charges of breaking and entering and was awaiting trial. Bartholomey had been in Salisbury several months, according to Truitt, but was a Baltimorean who had worked in Ocean City, Md., during the summer resort season. Police records showed Bartholomey had been arrested and convicted twice in 1965, for larceny and assisting in an auto theft. PRAGUE (AP) — Uneasiness was felt in Prague today over weekend Soviet-Czechoslovak summit meeting held in the Ukraine amid the kind of secrecy that was common before Alexander Dubcek came to power. The two-day talks in Kiev covered "issues of common interest” including "further development of cooperation” between the two Communist parties and countries, a vague communique issued Sunday in Moscow said It said the talks “passed in a cordial atmosphere, in comradely and friendly spirit.” The language was warmer than that used to describe previous So-viet-Czechoslovak meetings, but there was no mention of complete untiy of views”—the Communist phrase to describe agreement fully satisfying the Kremlin. Most Czechoslovak officials and the local press were kept in the dark about the meeting until after it was over. This was in marked contrast to nearly all earlier meetings which Communist party chief Dubcek and his associates held with Kremlin officials, both before and after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia hi August. SEVERE BLOW blow to Czechoslovak journalists, Intellectuals, students and factory groups who have been protesting the drastic curtailment of Information since the invasion. Journalists have been working to establish a dialogue with the authorities and to re< channels of information. Two weeks ago all leading cultural unions adopted a resolution warning that despite all promises, the government was turning to “a closed-door policy of secret dealings and agreement . . . without any possibility for citizens to criticize or take part.” * * The Soviet delegation was headed by Communist party General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev and Premier Alexei Kosygin. Some concern was felt in Prague that the progressive Dubcek was virtually isolated t 30 or 40 more secretaries next out any possibility,” he year to provide one for every member wanting one, and that * * * de- Another suggestion involves mand for more office space.

BOOMING DEMAND The demand for space is expanding faster than state offices can be moved out of the Capitol, a process which got into full swing last year with completion of two more office buildings in the Capitol complex. The state treasurer’s office is gone, except for its massive vault, and is now occupied by House Speaker Robert Waldron and his staff. Some GOP lawmakers have moved into space vacated by the secretary of state. > -Not too many years ago, offices and personal secretaries for legislators were unheard of. House members did their work at their desks on the floor. Getting a letter dictated and typed was a considerable challenge. In 1965 lawmakers cleared part of the Capitol’s fourth floor and moved in a secretarial pool, roughly doubling die number of secretaries. But each secretary still did the work for four legislators. Whatever happens in the legislative race for space, the problem probably will work itself out ip four or five years. _ ■ • Although final approval IK not been given by the govern or Legislature, just abdit everybody here is predictii that Michigan will have . spacious new Capitol buildii by then. ^ ...Vocia.
