Its city income*tax to ■meet 1968-69 budget needs won Senate approval and was sent to an uncertain fate in the House yesterday. The Senate first rejected the controversial bill and approved. it after Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh assured Negro senators that the city will consider hiring additional Negrt) policemen. Under present ’ law, all cities are limited to a .tax of one per cent on residents and one-half per cent on nonresidents working in the city. The nonresident limit would remain Unchanged under the Senate bill. An amendment proposed by Sen. George Kuhn, R-Birmingham, to eliminate the nonresident tax altogether was defeated.

Harry De Maso, R-Battle Creek. * * ★ ' Young, supported by the majority of the Democrats, had refused to vote for the bill without assurance that some effort would be made to increase the number of Negroes on the police force. Q Will this enable the school district to have S" full-day's education for all children next year? A — No. This millage election constitutes renewal of die foundation financing program of the school district. A tax increase beyond this present rate (in another election). would be required to maintain full-day sessions. - -Q—WhydldBT the board of education request the added millage heeded to finance a full day’s education for next year? A — As the board assessed the climate in the community at tills time it felt that the community would not support a tax rate increase. It sees millage - increase failures throughout this part of the state at this time. Q — Is it true that if the district’s 15-mill tax authority Is not renewed by the voters this year or next year Waterford Schools would- be forced to shut down? A — Yes. The school district would not even qualify for state aid; it couldn’t even be operated on half-days. We would have to ask the State Board of Education to assume control of.the district. Q — Can voters expect to be asked to approve a property tax increase two or three times a year until passage is achieved? Enforcer U WASHINGTON un - President Johnson, voicing outrage at the-slaying ,of Dr. Martin Luther King and’.the violence that followed it, yesterday signed the historic open-housing bill as a federal task force girded to enforce the new law. it Is the third landmark civil rights bill to become law since Johnson entered the White House. “All America is outraged at the assassination” of King, the President told a crowd of civil rights leaders, Congress members and government leaders in the East Room of the White House. “And America is also outraged at the looting and burning that ddfiles our democracy. “We just must put our shoulders together and put a stop to both,” he said of the violence that takes the lives of menlike King and of the slum ridts. The signing came one week after King’s death in Memphis, Tenn. PROSPECTS ONCE DIM The President recalled that King was among the civil rights leaders who met with him two years ago to lay the groundwork for an open-housing bill. But at that time prospects were dim for passage, said Johnson. “Now at long last this afternoon its day has come,” the President said. Mrs. King was invited to attend the cferemony but could not arrange to be in Washington, White House aides said. The new law will prohibit discrimination in 80 per cent of all housing sales and rentals by *1970, but much of it takes effect next Jan. 1...... The law also makes it a, federal crime to use threats or violence to interfere ' with anyone seeking to exercise his civil rights and prohibits the crossing of state lines with intent to incite rioting. TASK FORCE FORMED As Johnson was signing the new bill in a ceremony . nationally telecast and broadcast, the Justice Department’s civil rights division was assigning a newly formed task force to assembly the government’s enforcement program. The task force will operate under Stephen J. Poliak, < assistant attorney-general for civil rights. It will search for violations and may refer some cases to the FBI for further investigation, Poliak said. Planners Wame Woiecf Chief RAMON S.

A legislative committee investigating the program issued a report last January charging antipoverty funds were spent for “exhorbitant” rents and to perpetuate a “political machine.” Gov. George Romney entered the controversy yesterday, saying ho has Instructed his staff to look into the ^shocking conclusions” reached by the special committee chaired by- Rep. James Del Rio, D-Detroit.

A — We must renew Our present taxing authority first, The board would then have to decide if it should try again for some kind of increase; however, it would be pointless to call an election in midsummer as it would be too late to recruit the needed staff-lbr next year at that time. ' Q — Since the district lost the 7%-mill increase requested in November, why not compromise and try for a lower millage?

Task Force Calls For Racial Interaction “People-to-people communication” is . the real answer to the racial problems in Pontiac, the Pontiac Area Planning Council’s task force on race relations told the council's board of governors last night. Edward E. Barker, chairman of the task force, said that, although the ' leadership capacity ’in both white and black communities is excellent, the leaders cannot liquidate white and black misunderstanding and Ignorance. capacities, possible actions; plans and ideas for the planning council to follow. , ' • To secure expression from individual leaders and organisations on equal opportunities in the areas of employment, housing and education.

A To formulate a program detailing Nevertheless, he said, “Our conclusion at this point is that there exists no overwhelming demand to speak of prob-d the! ‘ lems and their solutions. Fluoride Orders by State Are Hit “We simply report this fact and not any discouragement on our part to continue our effort in this direction," he said. Barker said the city needs “people-to-people communications" to articulate our common fears and our common ambitions. Third-party intermediaries, whether individual or organizational, will never do the job. LANSING (AP) — A bill which would forbid the state to order a local unit of government to add fluoride to its public water supply was passed in the State Senate yesterday by a 26-8 vote. The bill, sponsored by Sen. George Kuhn, R-West Bloomfield Township, bars action by any state department, board, commission or agency. “A large part of the white community believes the black community seeks a handout, by aijy means, and nothing could be further from the truth.” The bill would strike down an order Issued last year by former Public Health Director Dr. Albert Heustis which would have required all cities over M,6M population to fluoridate their water supplies. The order had been suspended earlier by the Joint Administrative Rules Committee pending action by the Legislature. Backers of the bill said they were not opposed to fluoridation of water supplies but objected to' placing the authority to issue such an order in the hands of a nonelective official. Barker said, “There is a void in citywide communications of public statements by people in leadership positions and by their respective organizations relative to the elimination of all forms of racial and class segregation and discrimination. “We urge as a minimal requirement that our leadership publicize what it really wants for our city and its people. Time can represent friend or foe; we urge this action now. “People-to-people communications will result from mutual involvement toward a common good. “The coming referendum on our fairhousing ordinance will be a most meaningful opportunity for this involvement,’’ he said.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Pentecost Marks Birth of a New People (EDITOR’S NOTE—Followers of Christ didn’t begin to gain converts and strength on the day of His death or of His Resurrection. No, at first Christ’s followers faltered. Bui one day, seven weeks later, a day now called Pentecost, they suddenly were filled with the Holy Spirit. A “new people” was bom. Pentecost is the subject of this last, of five articles about the religious festivals of spring.) Unleavened Bread, on the morning of Pentecost. “And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled ail the house where they were sitting," Scripture says in -its metaphorical mode of portraying a divine incursion. “And there appeared to them tongues as of fire . . . And they were all filled withthe Holy Spirit..." In the immediate aftermath of the surging start of it all, the apostles were repeatedly arrested, threatened, jailed, flogged and ordered to cease their claims, but it didn’t silence them. — “We must obey God rather than men,” they insisted, implanting that combustible seed of last-resort civil disobedience that has cropped up occasionally ever since in the Christian tradition. The impact of the Impassioned appeal, the surging glossotalia Mending into a collective mood, resembles similar later experiences in some sectors of the church, fhcluding instances to modern times. By GEORGE W. CORNELL AP Religion Writer Christianity girdles the earth, the largest movement in the history of man. No others even come close, in breadth or numbers. It is the giant. Its billion, believers are almost everywhere, in every country and city. Only a few in some places, but in others, many, and elsewhere, most. . They are called by assorted names, Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, Orthodox, Methodists, Presbyterians and a myriad of others, but they are of one spiritual descent, part of the inclusive “ecclesia,” the assembly of allv the whole church. Some mighty Impetus built this colossus of faith. The shrinking disciples, from then on, fared forth with a fervor. “Men of Israel, hear these words," the apostle Peter proclaimed in the milling Temple courtyard. “This Jesus God, raised up, and of that we are all witnesses . . . Be baptized every one of you in the name of' Jesus Christ...” It was a teeming, tempestuous time, the “Day of the Spirit," and the churches celebrate it on Pentecost (meaning “50th") Sunday, June 7/< often called “Whitsunday,” referring Ho the white vestments worn on the occasion. UNDAUNTEDLY BUOYANT Undauntedly buoyant- about it, Scripture relates, the apostles started “rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name." Symbolically, it implied a reversal of the ancient sin of pride that had . sundered mankind into alien tongues because of their bid for godly grandeur as portrayed In the story of the Tower of Babel. A new harmonizing element had entered the human stream, foredestintag it for unity. Hie cheery, audacious effervescence was a hallmark of those first Christians, as Scripture and other descriptions of the time portray them. They seemed odd, hut blissfully happy. CONGREGATIONS PRAY “Almighty and most merciful God,” Always exchanging “holykisses" of 'peace, calling each other “brother" and “sister.’’ Sharing their possessions, visiting to and fro. Singing, breaking - bread together, lifting their common .wine in memory of Christ's Last Supper. “And I, when I am lifted up from the. earth, will draw all men to Myself1,’’ Jesus had said. As the apostle Paid put it, God “set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of timfe, to unite all things in Him, things fa> heaven and things on earth.” The very record of its sweep attests to some powerfully propelling ingredient in R, some immensemotiveforee, an hv respressible, energizing drive at its heart. the congregations pray, “grant, we beseech Thee, that by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we may be enligl\tened and strengthened for Thy service, through Jesus Christ our Lord!” That vitalizing thrust, as the church conceives. it, originated in a strange interlude, in an unpromising circumstance, in a flaring, mystifying moment. It occurred abruptly, on a day in late spring, an occasion for coming celebration on the Christian calendar. It is that Spirit, that inwardly compelling, divinely endowed contagions spark, to which Christianity attributes its far-spreading momentum. * “And all who believed were together and had all things in common ...’’ They kept jup jheir. Temple duties, regarding themselves devout Jews, with an eh-hanced mission from Christ. The beginning, the foretokening signs, the “first fruits” of it, as the church sees it, sprang m there in Jerusalem in that week of the brtaging of-the first fruits to the Temple, when the downcast few became the expansive many. Skeptics couldn’t figure it then, or since. Everybody’s agog, they taunted, they’re reeUng. q *NEW WINE’ ..... ’And day by day, attending the together i HAPPENED IN JERUSALEM “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come®upoh you," Jesus had said, before He died. "And you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and ... to the end of the earth ... Go therefore and make .disciples of all nations ...” Temple together and breaking bread their homes, they partook -of food with glad and generous hearts,'praising God and having favor with all people.” THE NUMBERS SWELL Swiftly, the 3,000 sweUed to 5,000. The The place was Jerusalem, the holy city of Christianity’s mother faith, Judaism, and capital of a then remote, military • ruled colony of the ancient Roman empire. Involved were a handful of dispirited men and women, 120 of them, the remnants of the shattered following of an executed rabbi, Jestis. His apostles, at the time, were a withdrawn, apprehensive crew, huddling uncertainly in a private Souse,'immobilized, anxious, hesitant Today, in geographical scope and its following of about a billion, Christianity far surpasses the other great religions. Also its roots, inception and foundation in Judaism go back , deeper into human life, more than four millenniums ago. The other three largest religions came later, Hinduism, with about 410 million adherents after 806 B:C:, Buddhism with 165 million followers, around 500 B.C., and Islam, with 46 million Moslem believers, not until 60dAJ). ..—— exponents of this amazing burst of belief were no ranking, skilled organizers, but plain, working-class Jews, who mice had held back shakily, but who had been transformed by the touch of another presence. "s, Hie apostles are drunk with “new wine." But Peter shot back that it was “only the third hour" — 9 a.m. — far too early for any intoxication except that of the conscience, and he-quoted the Prophet Joel. “God declares, that 1 will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh . .. and your young men shall see visions, and your Old men shall dream dreams’...” So the vision took root. The dream began. A cause commenced. A “new people” was born. Jesus, shortly before His crucifixion, had promised that He would net leave them alone without His encouragement. “I will pray to the Father, and He will give yoo-another Counselor, to be with yon forever, even the Spirit of Truth...” Then the catalyst struck. It turned their timidity into a torrent. It drew about 3,000 people, in one day, into bold and exultant conviction. It changed a tiny, battered Jewish sect into rapturous, swelling movement. JEWISH FEAST The original spiritual outpouring that sparked Christianity came on Shavuoth, the Jewish Feast of ^ the Weeks, commemorating the living of the 10 Commandments, and thus manifests a kinship with it in that both mark God’s bestowal of enlightenment. For. seven weeks, they had waited. Throughthefirst^tix weeks,nsrelated in. their writings, the resurrected Ovist appeared to than intermittently, each And however much their successors may have faltered at times, and quar-reled ‘and fragmented, they have done. what seemed impossible when the cross-doomed Jesus told them to encompass the world.

And within 30 years, it had spread througti the entire d vtilz^vtorld. And it kept growing, despite the blows of emperors and armies, of massacres and dungeons, to try to stamp it out. A strangely animated atmosphere shook the city that day, enlisting hosts of new believers, and setting off a chain of reperewsiong that wouM sOOi tMrlng harsh measures of suppression against Christ’s advocates.

For a week afterward, they had stayed in seclusion, uneasy, unsufe, praying, pondering, wondering what to do — until that invigorating force and conviction seized them and sent them into action.

As described in the Book of Acts, it overran barriers of race, nation and language, linking the multitude of pilgrims of many lands into mutual understanding.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — The Detroit Water Department has declined to argue a constitutional question in a suit ' brought by this township against the department. The decision was an apparent victory for Township Attorney Roy Rogensues, who had alleged that the department violated a State Constitution provision in laying a 98-inch water transmission line through the west end of the township.

The return, Lock said, should be sc-; companled by a letter of explanation j justifying the delay. In such cases, in- • terest and penalty will be waived. The rise Is mostly due to an attempt to assess properties on the required 50 per cent cash value basis, explained Robert Romer, head of toe township assessing office. —"Anticipated for this yegr are expenditures and income of $889,400.

Brumback reported if the issue is approved^ the pool would furnish complete community servke for families as well as students from other than the senior high school. Residents of the area already have voted a 1-mill operating increase, no( yet levied, which could be utilized to operate the pool if necessary, said Brumback.

Backers of the controversial bill said it would be a valuable anticrime tool. Opponents charged it would permit abuses by police. “If you have this in the city of Detroit, you’re asking for trouble," warned Rep. James Del Rio, D-Detroit. The bill, sponsored by Rep; Robert Stites, R-Manitou Beach, Would‘pertnit a policeman to stop a pStson who “he- reasonably suspects is committing, has committed or is about to commit a felony” and requires the person to give his name and address and “an explanation of his addons." The officer would also be al-lowed to search the person if he fe'lt himself In danger. A suspect,.could be detained for up to two hours without being ar-rrafefi?*' •. An amendment offered by Stites, making it a misdemeanor for thOfcperson to refuse to. give the policeman his name, fell five votes short of passage.
