Va. (AP> - Hope of rescuing 78 miners trapped deep in a burning coal mine dimmed further today with announcement that the fire in the shafts increased during the night. • “Since last evening, all attempts to r^uce the fire have failed,’’ executive vice president William Poundstone of Consolidation Coal Co. said this morning. ★ ★ ★ “'The fire has definitely spread during the night. That fact is obvious by the smoke which is now coming out of two shafts.’’ An explosion at daybreak yesterday started the fire and a chain of explosions later sent flames throughout the deep shaft?. Thirteen men fled to the surface safe- ly and eight were pulled from a 700-foot deep ventilation shaft by a bucket on the end of a crane cable. There has been no word from the 78 since the initial blast. Smoke and heat kept rescue teams from entering the shaft to reached the trapped men. ★ ★ ★ “Another thing which is discouraging is the amount of carbon monoxide which has increased in the mine,” Poundstone Poundstone said hope is not being given up for the men “but we will decide jointly among the U.S. Bureau of Mines, West Virginia state Mine Department officials and UMW officials and our own MIAMI BEACH, Fla.

Officials said the mine was inspected for safety last August and federal mine inspectors reported they found no dangerous accumulation of gas. CAUSE UNKNOWN There was no determination on what caused the explosion but company spokesmen said yesterday that it was either accumulations of gas or dust. Four of the men who made it out were put under observation at nearby Fairmont General Hospital. None was considered in serious condition. “The Lord was with us,” said Lewis Lake, 55, a mine veteran from Owings, W.

Heart Expert Blasts FDA on Food Fats Mayor Elected for Sylvan Lake John Roeper of 1565 Lakeview was elected mayor of Sylvan Lake by unanimous vote at a special City Commission meeting last night. John M. Hanson of 2440 Garland was elected mayor pro tern. Both terms are for one year. Roeper, who had been mayor pro tern for the last year, is an appliance service foreman-gas at Consumers Power Co. He has been on the ROEPER council since September 1966 when he was appointed to fill a vacancy. He was elected to a regular term in 1967. ★ ★ ★ He succeeds Fred Crossman of 2461 Renfrew. Hanson, a councilman since 1962, jwas also mayor in 1966. He was originally elected in June 1966 to fill a vacancy and reelected in the regular election in November 1966. Hanson, president of the Michigan Credit Counselors, also was elected by a unanimous vote last night. ★ * ★ A public hearing on the proposed renewal of the current franchise with Detroit Edison Co. for electricity was set for the regular meeting Dec. 11. likely to help ward off heart attacks, said Dr. Jeremiah Stamler of Chicago. An FDA ruling forbids manufa,cturers to give this information on the labels on their products, he said. The labels should compel manufacturers to list the contents of animal or vegetable fats, or saturated and polyunsaturated .fats in their products, Stamler told a new conference at the opening of the American Heart Association’s annual meeting. SUPPORTED BY GROUP Behind his charge, supported in a recent official statement' from the heart association, is the belief of many heart Specialists that a change from the usual American diet can help protect against heart attacks. One major change recommended is to reduce the intake of saturated fats, coming mostly from animal sources, and to increase consumptioh of polyunsaturated fats, derived mostly from vegetable oils. ★ ★ ★ Stamler said the FDA several years ago took the stand that there was no solid evidence of a relationship between fats and cholesterol in food intake and atherosclerosis, t h e artery-clogging disease that underlies most heart attacks. h’urthcr. it ruled manufacturers could not advertise that any foods could help protect against heart attacks, or. list the composition of fats in products. ★ ★ ★ Not just the food people eat, but other habits seem to increase susceptibility to heart attacks, other speakers said. Lack of exercise and physical activity, being overweight and smoking cigarets are among these habits, they said. —76 PAGES Nixon Stretches Florida Talks on Cabinet Choices KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) -Richard M. Nixon, stretching his stay in Florida, is conducting discussions about the men who will make up his Cabinet and the policies with which he will guide them. But these deliberations are being described publicly only in the most broad and general terms. And the names under consideration are a carefully shielded secret. * ★ The president-elect planned another round of manpower and policy talks today before heading back to New York, his nominal headquarters for the period of government transition. Key participants in the current talks are Lt. Gov. Robert Finch of California, and John N. Mitchell, a partner in the Nixon law firm who served as his campaign manager. A POSSIBILITY Cabinet posts for both men are considered a possibility and a Nixon spokesman said their personal roles in the administration had been discussed. Sources in the Nixon camp said Finch can decide for himself whether he will take a position on the White House staff or accept a Cabinet-rank job. Ronald L. Ziegler, a special assistant to Nixon, said there have been no final decisions yet on any Cabinet or sub-Cabinet posts. Nixon does not intend to announce any such appointments before Dec. 5. Ziegler did, however, have one news item. On Saturday, the Nixons will announce la New York the plans for the wedding of their daughter, Julie, to David Eisenhower.

BURBEY It was 150 years ago this month that Stephen Mack, a prominent Detroit retailer and contractor, walked Into the U.S. Land Office in Detroit and arranged with Clerk Peter Audrain for- the purchase of 1,280 hcres of wilderness iand which was to have a profound influence on the eventual settlement of Michigan and the creation of "Oakland County, with its county seat to be located at a place to be known as Pontiac. Mack's initial 1.280-acre purchase comprised the heart of present-day Pon-. tiac, that is, all of Section 29, the north half and southwest one-quarter of Section 28 and the northeast one-quarter of Section 32. * * * Present day boundaries of these tracts al'e approximately Tregent Street and Grandview on the north; East Boulevard to Michigan, Roselawn to Auburn and Wide Track to Gillespie Street on the east. On thb west,’ Grant-Williams and Johnson streets. Purchase price for this 1,280-acre tract was $2 an acre with 25 per cent down ($620) with three equal annual payments at 6 per cent on the unpaid balance. Mack’s purchase was made on behalf of a Detroit syndicate known as The Pontiac Co., organized Nov. 5, 1818. * * The company consisted of William Woodbridge, Solomon Sibley, John L. Whiting, Austin E. Wing, David C. McKinstry, Benjamin Stead, Henry L. Hunt, Abraham Edwards, Alexander (Continued on Page A-15, Col. 1) Fishermen Net Big One CHERBOURG, France (41 - The catch was harder to pull in than usual early today and the crew of the French trawler La Belle Poule went to the side to see what the trouble was.

By TOM GRAY Reputed Mafia figure Joseph M. Barbara, 32, of Fraser was bound over lo Oakland County Circuit Court yesterday for trial following a lengthy pretrial examination on a charge of extortion. Farmington Township Justice of the Peace Byron Walters conducted the examination, which lasted about 15 hours in two sessions in Farmington Municipal Court. Barbara, president and owner of the Tri-County Sanitation Co., Detroit, was arrested Oct. 18 on charges that he extorted $4,000 in cash and valuables from Mrs. Delores Lazaros, 34, of Troy by threatening the lives of her 9-year-old son and husband. Barbara was released on continued $50,000 bond pending Circuit Court trial, at a date still to be set. CROSS EXAMINATION Yesterday's session the second in the examination, consisted of cross-examination of Mrs. Lazaros by Joseph Louisell, Barbara's attorney. In earlier testimony two weeks ago, Mrs. Lazaros had revealed that she had asked Barbara for help in freeing her husband from prison, where he was serving on a four-to-eight-year sentence on a 1962 fraud conviction. She also accused Barbara of raping her. Barbara still faces pretrial examination on the rape charge. Louisell attempted to discredit Mrs. Lazaros’ testimony by (luestioning her closely on appar^t Inconslstenclei between statements she made during the examination and an earlier statement she gave to Assistant County Prosecutor John Bain on Oct. 18. DID SHE SEE IT? In once instance, Louisell’s questioning centered around whether Mrs. Lazaros had seen Barbara physically take the $4,000 from a je^l box in her home. Mrs. Lazaros said she had not but claimed that she had seen Barbara with the money, some legal papers, and “.something shiny” which “might have been a ring” ★ ★ * Louisell then denied that there had been a crime of extortion, citing Mrs. Lazaros’ testimony that “there was no conversation” between her and Barbara about the money. However, Walters, noting that she had testified that Barbara had threatened her .son and husband and that she made no attempt to interfere when Barbara allegedly took the money, ruled it was “reasonable to believe” the crime of extortion had taken place nevertheless. Lazaros, released from prison Oct. 10 by a federal court order to appeal his conviction, reportedly has detailed much of the Mafia’s area activities to investigators. He has been under protective custody in his home since his release from jail. Barbara is the son of Joseph Barbara Sr , who hosted the 1957 meeting at Apalachin, N Y. where 61 alleged underworld leaders were arrested. 1,280-Acre Tract Purchased In November 1818 For The Pontiac Co. A—2 THE PONTIAC PRESS, THURSDAY, NOV^U^MBER 21, 1968 Breakthrough Reported in Bid to Bolster Franc BONN, Germany i/Pt — West Germans reported a breakthrough today in an effort by the world’s wealthiest nations to save the French franc from devaluation and to end the latest international monetary crisis. The money managers, meeting in secret for the second straight day, plunged into an effort to collect enough credits for the rescue operation. ★ ★ ★ Karl Schiller, West Germany’s minister of economics, told newsmen the conferees were considering these measures : / • West German tax measures to encourage imports and discourage exports. This, he Said, has been the No. 1 topic all along. • Special credit arrangements among the 11 countries — the “Group of 10’’ plus Switzerland, an observer. • Measures to be taken by the “deficit countries,” meaning in this case largeljf France, although Britain too has a dangerous trade deficit. Allies Fearing Talks Sabotage Try by S. Viet PARIS (UPI) — Allied diplomats today said South Vietnam may join Paris negotiations 6n Vietnam only to sabotage the talks. ^ They said President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam has agreed “in principle” to end his boycott of the talks and send a delegation headed by his vice president, Nguyen Cao Ky. ★ ★ ★ The diplomats said Thieu believes he will be in a better position inside rather than outside the talks to torpedo any compromise with the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong. Publicly, South Vietnam maintained its boycott of the talks the United States and North Vietnam arranged. The negotiations were to open three weeks ago. But Saigon’s boycott has stalled the start. In Saigon today, US. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker spent an hour with Thieu in the president’s Independence Palace office. Diplomatic sources said Bunker apparently was working out details of a South Vietnamese agreement to end the boycott. The allied diplomats here said Thieu will announce his decision to send a delegation to Paris as sooon as the details are worked out. ★ ★ ★ “It Is then that the South Vietnamese may become really difficult,” one high allied diplomat said. South Vietnamese officials in Paris made no bones about their belief that all concessions in negotiations thus far have been made by the allied side and none by the Communists. The allied diplomats said Ky’s coming would underline the worry about Saigon taking an especially tough line in talks.

A committee organized recently in the Waterford Township School District to seek tax reforms in financing public education has already received support from one state legislator. State Sen. L. Harvey Lodge, R-Wa-terford Township, told members of the Committee for Reform in Financing Michigan Local School Districts last night that he would be willing to consider and possibly introduce legislation in the area of education financing. ★ ★ ★ The committee, cochaired by Don Porter, president of the board of education, and H.

Tatroe began the meeting by outlining suggested goals for the committee. AREAS OF CONCERN Two major areas of concern, he said, are to find some method of revising the state homestead tax exemption act to grant more relief to senior citizens, and to work for change in the present millage-state aid system to make it more equitable for all. ★ * ★ Unless reforms are made soon, Tatroe explained, the district — and many others across tfje state — will be continually subject to difficulties in raising the tax money they need. ★ ★ * An election will be held Dec. 7 in the district on a proposed 9-mill operating tax levy and a $10.8-million bond issue for construction.

GEORGE CALDWELL “There are lots of Waterford Townships in this state,” Tatroe commented. “We’re hoping that we might be able to provide less burden on property as a form of taxation.” SUGGESTIONS OFFERED Several suggestions were offered by committee members to ease the tax problem which Inflation has created for senior citizens, many of whom live on fixed incomes. * * * Tatroe proposed amending t h e homestead exemption law to increase senior citizen exemptions by 50 per cent, while Nicholie suggested “freezing” assessments on a citizen’s property when he becomes eligible for ^cial Security benefits. ★ ★ * Lodge said he would be willing to “put In a bill” to revise the exemptions if a satisfactory solution could be worked out. The state senator also urged passage of the Dec. 7 millage, pointing out, “People in wealthy districts want to keep what they have. “If you pass this millage, I can go to Detroit and some of these other districts and say, ‘Look, we’ve assumed our responsibility. Now it’s time for you to do your part.’ ” The committee’s next meeting will take place the week of Dec. 8. Miss Sprengel, a student at Northwood Institute, Midland, also received championship trophies for side saddle and driving competition and two reserve championships in halter and English performance. ♦ ★ ★ The awards were made Saturday in Frankenmuth. SF Prexy tAakes Plea SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The president of San Francisco State College, Robert Smith, urged more students to return to the classroonis today instead of taking part in a convocation at the school which reopened yesterday after being closed for four days because of violence. Most of the 18,000 students and 1,300 faculty members returned to the campus without trouble a s plainclothesmen patrolled the area and other policemen were on a standby basis.

Green, 3650 Larkwood. John Mersky, a student at Michigan State University, will conduct the session entitled “Youth — A Dialog.” Marston cited recently published research work by Dr. George (’.

Appeal Denied in Greek Plot ATHENS LPl — The Greek Supreme Court today turned down an appeal for a new trial for Alexander Panagoulis and & his 72-hour grace period ended at dawn. * but there was no indication he had been executed for plotting against the military regime. . Panagoulis’ lawyer had applied for a retrial on the ground that his client’s deposition read at'his trial was invalid because Panagoulis had not signed It. The Supreme Court said this was “unacceptable.” ★ ★ * TTiere was speculation that execution -might have been delayed to give the Supreme Court lime to rule. * ★ * The Supreme Court’s decision exhausts all judicial a’venues for a postponement of the execution! Clemency from the regent or a stay of i execution by the military authorities is considered the only way in .which Panagoulis can e.scape the firing squad. NA’TIONAL WEATHER — Showers and snow flurries are predicted over the northwestern United States tonight while warmer temperatures will move over the lower Mississippi Valley. Temperatures will be puKlerale over the central U.S. willi litUe change elsewhere.

Parkinson’s disease affects perhaps one million persons in the United States and is marked by tremors, muscle rigidity and lo,ss of coordinalioYi. Panagoulis, ,30, was sentenced Sunday night to die before a firing squad for deserting the army and attempting to overthrow the military regime o f Premier George Papadopoulos. He had 72 hours to appeal for clemency^ but refused to sign a plea. * ★ ★ A reliable source said Papadopolous was resisting members of the military junta who want the execution carried out and met with military leaders yesterday to discuss possible repercussions from an execution. * * * In addition to the two death .sentences, Panagoulis was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the attempt Aug. 13 to assassinate the premier. Panagoulis’ lawyer, Leandros Karam-filidis, said he had received no word of his client’s fate. ' Free!

To this end, the council has instructed Village Manager Eugene King to continue*to obtain information. Only 102 ballots were cast In the special election on a resolution asking for a $200,000 bond Issue for a new storm sewer project for the entire village. ★ ★ ★ Tile vote was 58 against and 43 for, with one void ballot. King said he felt one reason for the poor turnout was the bad weather Monday. PAVING PROJECT King will pursue the issue further and gather information on reopening the drive, with an additional project of curbing and paving all of the Cage’s unpaved street^. Council members said they had heard talk that some townspeople felt the paving and curbing were necessary in the issue. This way the entire job would be completed at the same time. ★ ★ ★ “We are not disheartened or alarmed at the failure of the issue,” King said. “This is probably the biggest issue that has ever confronted the village. All we need, I think, is to educate the pwple more as to the necessity of the projects, and where the money will go,” he sid. The village is /serviced by an inadequate. antiquated system of storm and sanitary sewers combined. plications was involved, investigations were often delayed due to needed autopsy informatim, he said. * * * Dr. Berman also questioned whether all cases of suspicious death were being properly investigated. The $iso,(K)0 sum, if added to the health department budget, would provide $10,0(K) in equipment and provide for positions of deputy medical examiner and pathologist. Dr. Berman said. AT STATE HOSPITAL The equipment would be installed in the present county morgue which is being established in rooms at Pontiac State Hospital. A complete morgue operation is planned for the jwoposed new county jail on which work is expected to begin in a few months. Dr. Berman said that both the equipment and added personnel would be necessary to the new morgue. The health committee’s recommendation will be sent to the ways and means committee and then to the entire board at their meeting Dec. 18. ONE ABSTENTION In the cranmittee’s vote, one abstention was made. It was by Lee Walker, appointed supervisor from Madison Heights and mayor of that city. Walker abstained on the basis that the new board of supervisors should take any further steps regarding county funds. Walker will be on the 27-member reapportioned board which will be seated in January. Walker will belong to the majority party in the new body (15 Democrats, 12 Republicans), and said, “There may be many revisions in the budget by the new board.” READYING FOR DEDICATION — Getting ready for the R.

Pm«HAi» Siueutlvt VIci Fieild( tad Editor Crime Reports Reflect Social Ills For the Pontiac Area citizenry there is both bad and good news in the separate crime reportsSssued by the Police Department for the three quarters of 1968 and that projected for the entire year by the City Administration. The bad news is found in comparison of the first three quarters of 1968 against those of 1967. Thus, it is shown that, although crime decreased 1 per cent for the first quarter, it increased 4.3 per cent and 15.1 per cent respectively for the second and third quarters. For the year as a whole, the rate of crime is seen increasing 21 per cent over last year. Consideration of the two reports shows robbery about even with last year, aggravated assault up 17 per cent, burglary and larceny up 13 per cent and 25 per cent respectively. But the real villain of the piece is car theft, which is expected to increase by 74 per cent over last year, and accounts to large extent for the over-all year-to-year increase in local crime. Actual thefts for 196§ are projected at 661 compared with’ 198 in 1965, 260 in 1966 and 380 in 1967. The good news, if any can be found in criminal statistics, is that the local crime rate is not accelerating as fast as it is in other cities of relative size, with the present level noV comparable with those municipalities. Moreover, the rate of national crime increase exceeds Pontiac’s. Nonetheless, it is the issuance of such crime statistics that underscores the deplorable state of .American society. Until and unless effective programs to combat it can be evolved, life and property in these United States seeffl fated to become increasingly in jeopardy. ‘GPs’ Sponsor National Family Health Week By presidential proclamation, this is National Family Health Week. The President got the idea from Congress, which passed a resolution to that effect and which was in turn prompted by the American Academy of General Practice, the professional association of more than 30,000 general practitioners. It may come as a surprise to those who thought that the GP was a vanishing breed to learn that there are still so many of them around. Not only is general practice alive and well, it is on the way to being upgraded into a medical specialty in its own right. ★ ★ ★ Instead of becoming a GP more or less by default, a medical school graduate may one day take residency training to become a FP—a family practitioner, specializing in family medicine. Right now the AAGP and the American Medical Association are at slight odds over what should constitute a family practitioner. In broad terms, however, he would be a “physician of first contact,” which the academy believes every American family should have. He would be a true family doctor, knowing all members of a family and understanding the family relationships which could have an effect on the physical and emotional well-being of each member. He would provide a continuity of treatment for his patients, from cradle to old age. ★ ★ ★ He would serve as a liaison between patient and the vast variety of specialists and technicians who have advanced skills and training in special areas. Residency training of FPs would be modeled as closely as possible on actual family practice. The AAGP wants Americans to think about the idea during National Family Health Week. Sharp Rise Seen in College Enrollment After two years of modest increases, freshman enrollments in America’s colleges and universities may show a sharp rise this year—as much as 8 or 10 per cent, or 1.8 million new students, bringing the total number of students registered for credit to more than 7 million. This is the estimate of the University of Cincinnati, based on an early survey preliminary to its 49th annual report on college enrollment. ★ ★ ★ The freshman surge, however, is not due to the post-World War II baby boom, which has already ' reached the groves of academe. ’ The 18-year-olds in the country number only slightly more than a year ago, says Dr. Garland G. Parker, U of C provost for admissions and a national authority on collegiate statistics. Thus it is clear, he says, that “in spite of a wave of dissent and the strident voice of protest on many campuses,” ever larger numbers of young people are seeking higher education. ★ jk- ★ We may, in fact, be witnessing the greatest revolution in mass education since the free public school system was conceived in the 19th century.

David Lawrence Says: American Dollar Stronger Now WASHINGTON - Europe Is In the middle of a financial crisis which could also affect this country, though the United States is in a better condition to meet the challenge than it has been in recent months. Fortunately, the dollar, which was sup- j posed to have been weakening, has gained ' in strength, LAWRENCE and there is a growing confidence in our monetary unit. ★ Whenever trouble hits the money markets of a large region such as is covered by the non-Comrnunist countries in Europe and their huge stockpiles of money deposited in other countries, there is bound to be uneasiness when talk of devaluation becomes serious. Paper money, for instance. Is being dumped into gold rather precipitately, and this kind of activity sometimes furnishes the impetus to a financial panic. Stock markets in many capitals in Western Europe, Africa and Asia have already been closed. BEYOND CONTROL What makes the situation to a certain extent beyond the control of governments is that so many corporations and individuals have huge sums of money invested in various parts of the world. They have accumulated reserves in dollar amounts now estimated at $18 billion as a result of the outflow of American disbur.sements when there was a deficit in our balance of payments. If the current series of developments had happened a year ago, the United States might have been in much more serious difficulty, but the position of the dollar has improved r^jcntly and the latest figures’^Qw an actual surplus in the balance of payments. r'... * * * frhe eyes of the financial world are turned on France with its weak monetary unit tliat may have to be devalued.

Bob Considine Says: CONSIDINE NEW YORK - At least one political buff won’t have to wait for the publication of Teddy White’s _ ‘"The Making of a President - 1968’’ to discover how Richard Nixon overcame the redoubtable Mayor Richard Daley and won Illinois, the victory that made the difference. The man is William H. Ren tschler, boyish-looking president of the Martha Washington Candy Corp. of Chicago and a prototype of the younger blood Nixon attracted during the primaries, convention and campaign. Early this year Rentschler, who has the reputation of being something o f a maverick in his state’s GOP structure, gave Nixon his solemn word that Illinois would deliver to him 50 of its 58 delegate votes at the Miami Beach convention. That’s precisely what happened. NIXON IMPRESSED Impressed by the vigor and savvy of Rentschler, Nixon asked him to stay with him through the campaign. Each sensed that the GOP ticket coiild not win without Illinois. Nixon lost the state to John F. Kennedy in 1960 by 8,800 votes. As it turned out, the Nixon-Agnew ticket — having lost New Yofrk, Pennsylvania, etc, etc., etc. —desperately needed Illinois. * » , ★ ♦ Rentschler’s'- Illinois campaign in Nixon's behalf took several forms. "I tried to get to the .state’s so-called' ‘silent center,’ ’’ he told me at the New Yofik Athletic Club the other day. "What I had to fight chiefly was his image as a loser. I stressed over and over again that the world and the game of politics had produced some notable losers — Lincoln and Churchill and Adlai Stevcn.son, for example. IK)N T EXPECT SUPPORT’ "To the Negroes, the Jews and other ethnic groups I said in effect, ‘We really don't expect much support from you, much as we'd like it and need it. But don't you forget that this man Nixon, who has had more than his share of setbacks in life, honestly believes that you de.serve a piece of the action, and he’ll see that you get it if he gets in whether you vote for him or not.’ We got more of their votes than expected. * * * "We’ve known through the years that when Mayor Daley is master-minding an election he holds back returns from surefire precincts while he gauges just how many votes he'll need to put his candidate across. But this time it was some of our Republican precincts that played cagey and held back. Twelve per cent of the vote — about a half million — were still unreported at eight o’clock Wednesday morning. Nixon needed 60,000 of them. Well, he got the 60,000 plus, enough more on the late, late returns to give him the state by a margin of 160,000. "Daley screamed like an eagle." Nixon Secret of Success in Illinois Is Explained Voice of the People: » * Why Aren’t We Allowed, to Watch Game on TV?’ Why is it that we are not to be allowed to see ttie Michigan Wolverines clobber the Ohio State football team vja television this Saturday afternoon? This game has aroused tremendous interest and it promises to be the top grid battle of the year. ★ ★ ★ It seems that in this area, as in many others, a small group of people appoint themselves ^s the ultimate authority on what is to be done, regardless of the desires of the great majority. •A ★ ★ ■ It is alleged that television is a medium to serve the public interest.

Children need their mothers and fathers more than all these fancy things in schools. FRANCES WALTERS 1145 W. HURON Where are we going with all the high taxes for schools in Waterford? I built in Waterford some 25 or 30 years ago figuring it would be a good place to retire, but all they seem to want to do is raise school taxes. They are making it hard on the pensioners and a lot will have to move out of the Township to another with lower taxes. The school board is cutting its own throat.

Question and Aiisw4‘r What can we parents do to have the sexy, suggestive, lurid magazines and literature removed from display in our area drug stores? AUBURN HEIGHTS RESIDENT REPI.Y Report it to the Sheriff's- office, FE 5-8194. An officer will be sent to investigate complaints to see if there is a violation of State law. -If there is, the officer will take it from there. Editor’s Note; We recently told a deed holder where he could get information about delinquent taxes on that property. It should have read County Treasurer’s Office, not Register of Deeds. In Washington: See Peace-Keeper Role Limited By RAY CROMI.EY WASHINGTON (NEA) - It is already clear that Nixon as president will be no warhawk i n world affairs. In Vietnam he is on record as favoring a peace in which members of the V i e tc 0 n g could vote and participate in gov- —cROMLEV e r n m e n t, providing they gave up the use of force and agreed to accept democratic processes. He is, however, against a ’ coalition government as unworkable. ★ ★ ★ From all that can be learned, Nixon is dead set against the United States taking unilateral action in foreign countries, as In Vietnam. He l)elicvesdhe primary rc-sponsibilily for containing Cuba should be on the Organization of American States or by regional .security agrcc-rncnls by Latin pow'cr.s. The United Slate.|. would assist such multicoUhtry arrangements, not jump in on its own, as in the Domincian Republic, In Asia, if Nixon has his way, the United States would co-operate with regional security arrangements made by Asian nations, with Japan assuming a growing leadership role. These area pacts presumably would repj^ce coun-(try-by-country arrangements. It is Nixon’s thesis that such security arrShgenfents, similar to NATO, but with Latin-American and Asian ‘leadership, would do much to discourage future inva-' sions. If^ war did come, tlie U.S. role hopefully would be far less than in Vietnam or , Korea. ' ★ * f. Nixon has said: "Other 'nations must recognize that the role of the United Slates as world policeman is likely to be limited in the future . .'. in every Instance w|icre an Asian nqtion conics under attack or is threatened, ' we' must not automatically assume the burden of defense as we did in Korea and . . . Vietnam.” Nixon wanis, as pre.sident, to have a scries of personal meetings with tlie top men of the Kremlin. He believes that unless Washington-Moscow talks are held there are areas, as the Middle Ea.st, where the United States and Soviet Union are headed to- ward a confrontation that» would explode into nuclear ? Nixon i.s known to believe ■' the United States must mend -fences with the Arab world. 1 He believes some way must ; be opened to talk to Nasser ' in Egypt. He thinks that while ■ the.se talks are going on, the United States must develop influence with moderate':-Arabs. , ' Nixon favors a Middle East ; development program in • wliich a series of nuclear de- ' salting plants would supply * arid Arab countries with fresh ;’ water. He estimates these nu-; clear plants could add 1.500 square miles- of arable land , and large amounts of cheap electricity, stimulating high'-productivity agriculture and new industry, raising Arab living standards and providing jobs‘for Arab refugees.

The transatlantic dispute started Wednesday when Sir Bernard Lovell, director of Britain’s Jodrell Bank Observatory, said in an interview; there is a real reason for Apollo 8 to be a lunar orbit mission. We think it will be a great boon for future Apollo flights to have the photographic, navigation, tracking and mapping and other knowledge we’ll bring back.

We’ve reached the stage with automatic landings when it’s not necessary to risk human life to get information about the moon.” TOLD NEWSMEN Speaking for the three Apollo 8 astronauts. Air Force Maj. William A. Anders told newsmen Wednesday night: “We obviously don’t agree with him. We are flying primarily an operational mission and we strongly feel that a manned platform in lunar orbit with the operational equipment we have can add significant bits and explanation.
