District 7 winner Emmett Wellbaum, 58, who beat the'* mayor as a write-in candidate, estimated he may have “spotted” his opponent 1,000 votes— maybe more. A good many write-in votes were written on the metal covers over write-in slots. “Hie votes cast for myself and my two opponents total about 2,362 less than the 14,341 total of ballots- cast in yesterday’s election,” Wellbaum said. “Naturally, many of these may have been cast by people who didn’t vote for anyooe at all running for the District 7 commission post. “Hoirever, I had several people calling me asking why there wasn’t papa* in the machine,” he noted. “There was paper there; they just didn’t slide the metal cover up expos-the paper roll.’’ * a * In precincts throughout the Weilbaum’s name was foubd written in pencil on the metal slide. „Nv . * No Write-in vote counts unless it appears on the paper roll in the machine..

By DICK SAUNDERS Six new Pontiac city | commissioners were elect-ed yesterday in balloting that saw the incumbent j District* 3 Commissioner * William H. Taylor, lead j the field with 8,251 votes. ! Mayor Robert A. Landry, j once; leader of a commission : majority frequently opposed by ; Taylor was swept out of office 1 by write-in candidate Emmett S. Wellbaum, 4,280 to 3,929. A record - smashing 14,341 voters turned oat to try their hand at Pontiac’s first at-large election of district commission representatives. Though only one of the present City Commission was returned by voters, two of yesterday’s winners served on commissions before. \ 1 W ■ t it ★ Winning seats In* comeback bids were former Commissioners John A. Dugan (District 5) and Wesley J. Wood (District W 3 NEWCOMERS Newcomers are T. Warren Foteler ft*. (District 1), Robert C- Irwin (District 2) and Leslie H. Hudson (District 4). LANDRY DEFEAT Landry’s defeat by Wellbaum, 58, of 269 Seward recalled an election of 20 years ago. The last time anyone has campaigned actively as a write-in candidate was ia 1944. That write-in candidate also won. And be beat a mayor. That former mayor was Philip R. Sauer, 55, of 59 Monroe, who also ran as a write-in candidate yesterday. In 1944, Sauer was defeated by Nelse Knudsen. FALLS SHORT Again, Sauer, tHe well-known owner of a ,downtown restaurant, fell short of his two opponents in the District 2 race. WeUbamn’s uphill battle as a write-in candidate, Taylor’s apparent voter appeal and resounding victories by the two old pros, Dugan and Wood, were highlights of the election. Acknowledging that he lost to Landry in the District 7 vote alone, Wellbaum pointed out that “the total vote of Mr. Webb (Curtis L. Webb) and myself, clearly indicate the citizens were aroused and were rejecting Mayor Landry and his public record.” Landry was not available for comment.

Pontiac electors cast 5,582 votes against the proposal and 4,615 for It. Ironically, the added mill-age, had it been approved, would have helped the city finance a shorter workweek for firemen (the second proposal) which won 2-1.

TWO the pqntiac pAess, Tuesday, April 21, ipm 1st Job foe Commission: Choosing New City Mayor Pontiac voters elected seven men to serve as city commissioners yesterday, but it will take a woman to get them started on their two-year Journey guiding city affairs. The first meeting of thenew commission Monday^Hll be gavelled to order by City Clerk Olga Berkeley. She will preside; It’s only a one-shot deal, though. Until now, the seven new com-: missioners have directed their efforts^aygStting votes. Next they’ll turn their at* Vted^toca^in^some votes. When it’s all over, Pontiac will imve a new mayor and Mrs.. Barkeley will begto the task of writing the 1964-66 editidn of the Commission Journal. TERM BEGINS Tjeterm of new commissioners begins at noon April 27. Tftey will be sworn in that night. The City Charter names the clerk to preside aver teat organizational meeting, slated to start at 7:» Monday. The seven commissioners then elect a mayor and a mayor pro-tern from among themselves: Traditionally, the mayor serves as rhaimym of the commission and is generally r e garded as a spokesman for tee commission, although his vote carries no more power than that of any other commissioner. REPRESENTS CITY The mayor also represepts the city at many local and out-of-town events. U s ■ a 11 y he is a veteraw member of tee commission, hot teem is no established rale governing his selection. Yesterday’s election results produced an interesting situa- tion.Two former commissioners were elected and one incumbent was returned to office by a wide majority. Flier Ignores Bad Weather LAE, New Guinea (UPI) -Aviatrix Joan Merriam said today she plans to go ahead with the 1,500-mile hop to Guam on her around-the-world solo flight dtepifc some reports of bad weather along the route. Miss Merriam is generally following the route taken*-by Amelia Earhart in 1937 on an ill-fated global flight. Miss Earhart and navigator Fred J. Noonan disappeared after leaving Lae on July 2, 1937, headed for tiny Howland Island, 2*56 miles to tee Weather reports Miss Merriam said she had received from Guam indicated three areas of bad weather along the route •*■ one about 450 miles north of Lae, another 650 miles north and the third 1,100 miles north. Hie incumbent, William H. Taylor Jr., has been District 3 commissioner for the past four years and would be considered a “favorite” under normal circumstances, seeing he’s the only incumbent to gain reeto^rtion. TWO VETERANS However, Joining Taylor on tea new commission are former commissioners John A. Dugan, 55, of 363 Nelson, and Wesley J. Wood, $9, ofll N. Sanford. Dugan, from District 5, was an eight-year commission vet- defeated two yews ago ia his bid for a fifth term. Wood, from District 6, had served four years when he was beaten in 1962, So, from a strict seniority basis, Taylor, Dugan and Wood all qualify to some degree, though Dugan and Wood have been away from City Hall for two years. NO SET RULES But, remember, there’s no set of rules followed in choosing i mayor. Availability often is more important than seniority. The mayor generally is called ■pen to appear before tee public more than otf Pontiac’s mayor has rarely been a member of the commission minority. While .cpmmia-sidners are elected on a nonpartisan basis, there are usually two schools of thought which line up on most major issues. If all seven think alike, which is rare, there are seven prospective candidates for tee post. MAJORITY SCHOOL If not, the new mayor is almost certain to come from the majority school. Regardless of what may come, the decision will be made next Monday. The outgoing commission holds its final regular meeting tonight. Tomorrow at 7:99 p.m,, the Pontiac Board of Canvassers wUl meet to canvass and certify the outcome of yesterday’s election. Dugan, 55, of 363 Nelson also said he’d like to see Taylor elected to the post. However, Taylor hasn’t commented on the matter as yet The mayor will be elected by commissioners next Monday sight Fowler, 57, of .59 Lake was That duty now lies with the recently appointed board as required by a state law enacted last December. theoldwXy The City Commission used to canvass the vote, as required in tee City Charter. State law, however, supercedes a charter provision. Commissioners may meet Thursday night to look over election results, but the official canvass no longer in their hands.

Taylor’s margin was not the largest. That honor went to Wood, 58, of 11K. Sanford who beat Frederick H. Beedle, 40, of 689 E. Pike by 4,378 votes, even though Wood polled fewer total votes than Taylor. After final returns were Wood said, “I’m thinking of backing Bill Taylor far mayor.1 NO COMMENT elected to tee District 1 com- mission post with 7,506 votes to 5,425 for his opponent, Rotoe L. Jones, 40, of 212 Boodale. “This is a very happy moment in my life,’’ said the longtime Pontiac resident and founderofa local electrical firm. STRONG SHOWING Robert C. Irwin, 34-year-old Pontiac realtor who has served 18 months on the City Planning Commission, repeated his strong district showing in the primary, gaining the District 2 seat with 5,980 votes. His nearest opponent, Allan J. Denham, 48, of 83 Oriole had 4,735 votes and Sauer, tee write-in candidate, ended up with 885. Leslie H. Hudson, 42, of 361 Gallogly is well known in local political circles, having served Two Election Losers Won Home Districts Two candidates in yesterday’s commission contest fared well in home districts, but lost the office because of poor at-large records. Mayor Robert A. Landry and Rollie. L. Jones won in their home districts, but lost votes in outside districts that spelled defeat at the polls. Landry, 58, of 47 Center, the District 7 incumbent, beat Emmett S. Wellbaum, 58, of 288 Seward by 208 votes in District 7. The District 7 voters gave Landry 586 votes to 377 for Wellbaum, a write-in candidate, and 303 for Curtis L. Webb, 30, of 294 Judaon, who was the ballot nominee opposing Landry. „ NATIONAL WEATHER—Rain is forecast tonight for the worth Pacific Coast, tee central Plains west of the Mississippi, tee Appalachians and upper half of Atlantic states. Colder weather fo slated for northern part of the country west of the Mississippi with little changeelsewhere. it However, Wellbaum beat Landry by 351 votes in the citywide tally. 74-VOTE MARGIN It is also interesting to note that yesterday Wellbaum had a 74-vote margin in the District 7 vote over Webb, the man who beat him by one vote in the primary. In beating Landry, Well* baum picked np heavy support ia Districts 2, 3, and I. He ended dead last only in District 1, which Landry won. District 1, Jones, 46, of 212 Bondale polled twice as many votes as Ms opponent, T. Warren Fowler Sr. But that was the only district Jones won. Fonder, 57, of 59 Lake swept the other six districts to easily win on the city-wide tally by a margin of 2,061 votes. POINT OF INTEREST Another point of interest-to that while William H. Tpylor Jr., the District 3 incumbent, got more total votes than any other winner, he didn’t turn the trick that John A. Dugan and Wesley Wood accomplished. They won in all seven districts. Taylor won in six. He lost. the District 1 vote to his opponent, Sam Gabriel. Taylor did exceptionally well in Districts 2,3, 5 and 6, where he got7more votes than any of the/nher 15 candidates. Tayjor also beat Gabriel in District 7, where, in fact, the District 3 incumbent got only eight fewer votes than Landry. WITHIN ONE VOTE Robert C. Irwin came within one of p clean sweep. The District 2 winner beat hb nearest opponent, Allan J. Denham, ia six districts. Denham beat only Irwin in tee District I vote. Oddly enough, Webb, who became the “forgotten man’’ as the race took shape between Landry and Wellbaum, ended up winning the biggest district in the city. Webb topped both his opponents in District 5, where there are better than 7,210 registered voters. Webb, the first Negro to seek election to the District 7 commission seat, polled 1,028 of the votes cast in District 5, to 1,003 for Wellbaum and 917 for Landry. as state representative from Pontiac from 1955 to 1958. With that experience going for him, Hudson piled up a 2,011-vote margin over former commissioner Floyd P. Miles in the District 4 race. Dugan, in District 5, beat a newcomer, Robert R. Mc-Keever, 38, of 442 Lowell, who mazje a surprisingly strong showing. Dugan got 7,887 votes to 4,-117 for McKeever.

Rhodesia By PHIL NEWSOM HQ Foreign News Analyst 'On Jan. 1 of this year, a noble experiment designed to provevblsck Africans’ and whites’ ability to live and work together came to an end. \ Poor a o v e rpopulated Nyasaland and copper-r i c h Northern Rho-d e si a became self • governing British protectorates, with Britain retaining control of foreign affairs, defense and police. Southern Rhodesia, with its cattle ranches and tobacco plantations, resumed its status of seif - governing British, colony and a policy of white supremacy closely akin to that of its neighbor, the Union of South-Africa. The central African federation of Rhodesia and Nyasa-land had lasted }ost over 19 yean and it had collapsed on the same grounds that had led black Africans to oppose it in the first place—the fear of domination by a white mi- And it is against this background that violence now sweeps Southern Rhodesia wh«e about 210,000 whites dominate the liven of more than 3.5 million Africans. Politically, the issue lies between Southern Rhodesia’s demand for independence from Britain and Britain’s refusal to grant it before the whites grant political and social equality to the blacks. INTERNALLY Internally, it has meant the fall of moderate Prime Minister Winston J. Field and the rise of Ian Douglas Smith, rancher, World War II hero and outspoken racist. The new government’s banishment of Joshua Nkomo, a nationalist leader, led directly to mob action by Africans chanting “Nkomo owns the Externally, it arouses the possibility that Southern Rhodesia may become the first colony since the American Revolution to declare its own independence from Britain. ; How Southern Rhodesia goes also effects the future of Africa as a whole. WHITE SUPREMACY The prosperous Union of South Africa has been able to follow its own white supremacy line partly through the protection of buffer states, of which Southern Rhodesia is one. which cut It off! from the nationalism of new African nations. An independent Southern Rhodesia might Join with the Union of South Africa or it might seek Its prosperity through trade overseas, going through Portuguese Mosam- The latter course is hazardous since Portuguese African holdings themselves are under attack by African nationalists. . In the former course, the Union of South Africa’s borders would move up next to those of avowed enemies. SAFE ATTACK In that event, the black Africans would obtain “privileged, sanctuaries” providing avenues of safe attack on the white supremacists In both Southern Rhodesia and the Union of South Africa. Ian Douglas Smith Is the fourth prime minister in seven years of turbulent political history for Southern Rhodesia. At 45, he is credited with the ability to lead the white minority which would seize independence to block the political threat of a black majority. / Births The following is a list Pontiac area births as recorded at the Oakland County Clark's Office (by name of father): PONTIAC George r.
