Deserted Baby Found in Field Royal Oak Township Will Drop Charges If Parents Take Child An eight-month-old baby boy, abandoned early today on Wood- | side near 8-Mile road, two blecks east of Wyoming avenue, is In good condition today at Pontiac General Hospital The parents, Elijah Moten, 29, unemployed, and his wife, Minnie 34, of Oakdale Gardens appeared at a Royal Oak Township police station this morning ‘to reclaim the child The Royal Oak Township ju- venile officer, Mrs. Helen Glenn, said the Motens claimed they were intoxicated and said “they obviously did not know what they were doing.”’ The baby, Elijah Jr., was found shortly after midnight by Willard Maffet of 21381 Creston Lane, Oak- dale Gardens, an attendant at a gas station at 8Mile Rd. and Ken- tucky Ave. Maffet was walking home from work when he said he heard a baby cry in a field and investi- gated. He carried the baby to the Oakdale Gardens Police Station a few blocks away. Upon recommendation of the ju- venile division of the Oakland County Probate Court, “the baby will be returned to the parents if they will take him.’’ Mrs. Glenn said. “They said they do want him,” she added. Plans for pressing abandonment charges against the parents will be dropped if they agree to take the child, she said. Vete Keeps Political Lid on U. S. Help in Capital WASHINGTON w — Federal workers living in the District -of Columbia won't be allowed a more active part in polities than the gov- ernment's hired help elsewhere.

He said the proposal would give a small per- centage of personnel “a privilege nied to all other federal em- Groves by the Match Act.

GREEN | GRAND RAPIDS (AP)— All four incumbent mem- bers of the State Admini- Strative Board appeared headed for renomination by the Republican State Con- vention today despite the likelihood of a floor fight. Sen. George N. Higgins of Ferndale, the major holdout against blanket renomina- tion of the four, said he would not withdraw and would go to the convention floor with his bid for the secretary of state nomina- tion. Edward E. Wilson, of Birming- ham, chairman of the Oakland County delegation and son of Sec- retary of Defense C. E.

Pre-convention opposition to Millard appeared to have quietly melted away, The last holdouts were George Campbell, former dackson County prosecutor, and Paul C, Younger, retiring Ing- ham County prosecutor. But their backers said they doubted that either would make a fight out of it. Donald S. Leonard, the party's nominee for governor, steadfastly refused delegate invitations to give the nod for this candidate or that. He said he was keeping hands off, but there were indications that Leonard was at least aware of other leaders’ attempts: to push (Continued on Page 2, Col. 8) No Weather Change Due This Weekend There will be little change in temperature tonight and Sunday for the Pontiac area. report weath- er forecasters.

By JOE HAAS Pontiac Press Staff Writer WRANGELL, Alaska—The ocean tides, that phenomenon of nature which mere man never has been able to solve understandingly, sure- ly raise hob with the Alaska Inside Passage as they rush through ,the narrow straitst connect it with the Pacific. At some points on the Passage the tides are the second highest on the North American’ continent, sometimes reaching 40 feet. The highest are in the Bay of Fundy near Nova Scotia on the Atlantic side, where they have been regis- tered at 60 feet. All steamship movements here are conditional on the tides. When the passengers of our own cruise boat disembark dO” HAAS at some ports, it often is necessary to change the gangplant two decks higher or lower when they return only two or three hours later. The Alaska Steamship Co. which has been operating its lines through the Passage fer the beter part of a half cen- tury, announces that it is going out of business on account of the high wages it is required te pay. Working on a_ short summer schedule, the earnings of some men in the most menial of sea- faring jobs have reached a quite fantistic figure. Even the common dock wallopers are earning up to $10 per hour, with other jobs in proportion. The men are difficult to re- place on a permanent basis, While Alaska is an ideal sum- mer vacation spot, the men do not relish it as a place of perma. nent employment, even if they can earn enough during the sum- mer months to return to the States the rest of the year. With the salmon runs under way, this area furnishes some fishing that would even put Oakland Coun- ty’s lakes to shame. Some of the little streams coming down the mountain sides afe literally alive with salmon.

The total production runs into millions of pounds every day, and the in- dustry in a year amounts to over 100 million dollars.
