In addition, police records show the number of reported major offenses in Pontiac has already passed tife 5,000 mark in 1906. Oa the bash of a monthly average of IM offenses through October, the projected 5,712. The city’s previous recorded high far a single year was last year, when the total was 4,036. The sharp increase this year continues an upward swing which has leveled off only twice since 1959. Police Chief William K. Hanger, who admitted he is “firankty puzzled” by the crime rise, nevertheless pinpointed four areas he believes are contributiig to • Social attitudes which make it “unduly easy” to commit crimes; • JPublic apathy and unwillingness to provide funds for adequate law enforcement; • Low bonds for criminal offenders after their arrest; • Supreme Court deci- sions making convictions difficult along with “soft sen-’ fences” for those who are foundjpiity. •BIGGEST OBSTACLE’ Hanger singled out police manpower as the “biggest obstacle” to combating crime in Pontiac. Even in toe face of a dou- bling of major offenses Is toe last decade, the number of police personnel has remained Manpower presently stands at 117, having gone as low as 110 and as high as 122 in the past 10 years. “Theoretically,” Hanger explained, “every police officer Ship Sinks With 282 Aboard Particulars on School Presented Education specifications for a new — and highly flexible — high school were presented last night to the Pontiac Board of Education.

PATROLS SUFFER “Our men are so busy most of the time taking ^reports of crimes already committed they spend virtually no time fulfilling this patrol function,” he said. “Chicago recently had a large increase in crime in a particular area — they boosted the number of conspicuously marked cars in that area and cut the offenses to almost nothing.” Principal court decisions affecting police work, according to Hanger, have been the much-publicized Escobedo and Miranda opinions. In Illinois vs. Escobedo (1964), the Supreme Court ruled a criminal suspect was entitled to have legal counsel present during interrogation. RIGHT TO REFUSE In the Arizona vs. Miranda decision rendered this year, the court held that a suspect had the right to refuse to answer any questions put to him by police. “Both of these cases drastically limit the ability of the police to interrogate suspects,” he said. “Some crimes, however, could never be solved without confessions. “I don’t in any way advocate the third degree. As far asTm concerned, interrogation is mainly a matter of wits — a police officer versus a suspect. •CONCERN FOR ACCUSED* “I don’t think it’s too much to ask a man to account for his activities when circumstances point to him ad a likely suspect. “Court decisions and public comment seem to reflect a great concern lor the accused —apparently no one is too worried about the victims of crime,” Public attitudes were also described by Hanger as "apathetic” toward crime. “This is shown in the past by the reluctance of the citizenry to finance either raises in police, pay or increased manpower,” he said. ATTITUDES CHANGING The chief cited, however, “growing evidence” that attitudes toward crime are chang-Mg. “I think people are beginning to react to what they (Continued on Page 2, Col. 3) 17i*WIIUC«M$TMAS Flash GENEVA (UPI) - Communist North Viet Nam today rejected the United States proposal for a conference on prisoners of war and demanded the release of 156 of its soldiers and civilians bdng held by the Americans in Viet Nam.

Cheyz Trial Witness Tells of Probe Ploy By JIM LONG A prosecution witness testified yesterday that a grand jury investigator had once given her $500 to flash before White Lake Township Supervisor Edward Cheyz, but that she was never asked to make a direct bribe. “If he (Cheyz) asked for it, was supposed to give it to him,” said Mrs. Estella Dawson during her cross-examination by Cheyz, attorney, Joseph Loui-seljl “If I had offered It to him it would have been a bribe, and I knew Mr. Cheyz wouldn’t go along with it,” said Mrs. Dawson. The testimony came late in toe third day of toe trial in which Cheyz is charged with conspiracy to bribe and bribery involving a parcel of property which Mrs. Dawson wanted rezoned for an apartment project. The trial had come to a halt earlier in toe day when Mrs. Dawson, a 67-year-old widow, began to cry while being questioned by Louisell. Mrs. Dawson said that she was contacted by State Police detective Edward Seath after returning to the area/ from a trip in early February. Prior to that, she said she had gone to another attorney, Anthony Renne, and told him about a proposal made by Cheyz to promote the development Cheyz is accused by the grand jury with conspiracy with Richard Hanson, a public relations man with the engineering firm of Johnson and Anderson. Cheyz allegedly was to receive $1,000 of the $3,000 Hanson was going to charge Mrs. Dawson for his services. Hanson, 34, of 2771 North Lake, Waterford Township, is not on trial. He was granted immunity from charges by Grand Juror Philip Pratt. Mrs. Dawson said that Renne called it a “shakedown,” and apparently went to toe grand jury with the story while she was out of town. “Did he (Renne) ever tell you a b o u t his difficulties with Cheyz?” asked Louisell. ’“No, I didn’t know he had any,” replied Mrs. Dawson. After she returned to Pontiac, Mrs. Dawson said she gave Seath permission to record a phone conversation she had with Hanson, but that Seath did not give her any instructions as to what to say. Two days later, according to Mrs. Dawson, she went to see Cheyz at toe township hall to discuss toe rezoning matter. R was at this meeting, she said, that she took the $500 given to her‘by police. She said police had equipped her with a microphone that recorded toe conversation in a truck outside. RETURNED MONEY She said she returned the money to Seath when she arrived back at toe Pontiac State Police post. Hanson was arrested the next day at toe Pontiac Mali shopping Center following a meeting with Mrs. Dawson, at which time she paid him $500 cash and a $1,000 check. The trial resumed this morning with Mrs. Dawson*returning to the stand for further questioning by Louisell.

Minne- NATO likely to Give N-Unit Full Status PARIS (AP) — The nuclear planning committee which has been functioning within the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is expected to be given permanent status during the meeting next week of the NATO ministerial council. The committee, which has had several meetings in Paris, Washington and Rome, was proposed on May 31, 1965, by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara. McNamara said then that the United States was prepared to share nuclear responsibility within the alliance and suggested a select committee of four or five defense ministers to study the problem. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Midland New York later joined in the charge that the diversion had lowered by at least 6 inches the water levels of Lakes Mich-i, Huron, Brie and Ontario, their conneding waterways and the St. Lawrence River. FORMULA PRESCRIBED The Supreme Court in a 1920 order prescribed a formula, based in part on population, by which Chicago might continue to divert water from the Great Lakes system and directed the city to build adequate sewage treatment plants. ★ ★ ★ In 1958 the complaining states once more appealed to the Supreme Court for help. They said the population of metropolitan Chicago had mushroomed to such a degree that the allowed diversion threatened to become disastrqus to their interests. Syria Sei Oil Firm C&n^any Is Ownfid by Western Interests DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) -Syria’s Socialist regime announced today it has seized al assets of tee western-owned Iraq Petroleum Co. in Syria including the pipeline that carries Iraq’s oil to the Mediterranean. A communique broadcast by Damascus Radio said the pipeline and other company property was taken over for payment of transit royalties due for this year. IPC officials will be allowed to continue running the pipeline under supervision of four committees set up by Syria’s ministry of finance, tee communique said. The seizure followed the col-ipse of negotiations between Syria and the IPC which ran from Sept 10 to Nov. 16. BROKE OFF TALKS Syria broke off the talks then and threatened to take action against the company, which is owned by British, French, Dutch and American interests. Syria had demanded that its transit royalties for allowing the oil to be pumped across its territory, be doubled. In announcing the seizure, it said back royalties for this year totaled more than $8.4 million. f By LOIS MANDIBERG The lineman gripped the electric pole tightly with Ms tea, threw one end o< the fall line oypr tee crossbar and tied it under his unconscious putter’s arms and carefully lowered Mm 20 feet to the ground.

James discovered the solution, described as the first room-temperature liquid found to seemingly defy gravity by flowing uphill. The solution contains about 99.5 per cent water and .5 per cent powdery resin. He called the proposed 9B.1-million boiet in teachers’ retirement funds “a signified* step in completely funding the (retirement) systems.” The state and Detroit retirement systems ham boon described as not actually sound, although no immediate crisis has arisen.' The proposed school aid increase, Polley said, would provide for raises in teachers’ salaries averaging 8 per cent, raises in other salaries averaging 5 per cent and a 4 per cent increase in other crate. He said 48,008 new pupils are expected, in addition to the current statewide enrollment of slightly more than 2 million, and $22.8 million was recommended hire 2,000 new teachers and pay other new costs. SPECIAL PROGRAM The special $i2-millton program would reach neighborhoods where “whole families educationally starved, school dropouts are high, and gifted children are hfckken,' said Polley . The program would include an urban school service corps to help in inner-city schools, special projects to reduce dropouts and general improvements. - * The board’s recommendatin said the state should help build schools in districts which have readied their limit in levying property taxes. Contributing a one-third share to such districts, Polley estimated, would cost about $25 million. RECOMMENDATIONS Other recommendations to the Legislature included: • A program of establishing vocational education centers tc serve all areas of the state. Community colleges or groups of secondary schools would operate the centers. “All who can profit should have equal opportunity to enroll in vocational education programs of their choice, no matter where they live,” the board sate. * w * . ,* • Regulation of private trade schools to protect, students againkt schools which quickly go out of business. - * * * • A $485,008 appropriation foe a crash program to improve community college libraries. • a a • Incentive awards of up to $888 a pear for 400 needy high school students who otherwise might not be able to go on to College, a a a • An appropriatiou of up $1.8 million to defray increasing school lunch prices. * • A change to permit noncitizens of the United States to hold temporary teaching certificates. Many of these people, the board said, make excellent teachers of foreign languages, and some of Spanish origin could fill migrant teaching situ- • A change to allow school districts to join with other districts in operating school buses fra any federally supported educational or recreational programs; and to authorize districts to provide buses for emergency uses. ♦ W Sr • Authorization for the state superintendent of public instruction to rale on adequacy and location of the site and educational usefulness of any proposed new school buildings in the state. The board also discussed legislative bill that would have required the consent of parents for any psychological tests of school pupils. Members argued that a policy statement by the board would be better. A law, they said, would be too restrictive since schools depenc on such tests to learn how to help pupils. But, they added the state needs safeguard! against misuse of information obtained in the tests. ho,ho.

TESTS FIRST Doctors have indicated they’U schedule the operation after Eisenhower has undergone presurgery tests, which may take three or four days. The original announcement Monday that Eisenhower would have his gallbladder removed did not specify that he had gallstones — but the general confirmed the presence of the stones. He also told newsmen Wednesday at Gettysburg that he and his wife, Mamie, now plan to leave for Palm Desert, Calf., Jan. 4 instead of Dec. 28 as previously scheduled.

(AP) - Testimony of crash witnesses, meteorologists and contents of a tape recording of cockpit conversations indicated that turbulent weather caused the crash Aug. 6 of a Braniff Airlines plane near Falls City, Neb. Thirty-eigfct passengers and the crew of four died in the flaming crash. * . ★ The testimony of the witnesses to the plane’s fall, the meteorologists, and the release of the tape recording came Wednesday at a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing. The taped voices were identifiable and tended to confirm that the plane broke up in will administer. Usual preoperative tests include blood-chemistry studies, a chest X ray, electrocardiogram of the heart and X rays of the gallbladder. Eisenhower, however, was hospitalized at Walter Reed about two weeks ago for what was described at the time as a routine physical examination. He may have undergone his gallbladder X rays then. Doctors not associated with the case say that while presurgery tests for a gallbladder operation — aside from the gallbladder X ray itself — can be completed in a single day, Eisenhower’s doctors might want to keep him under observation for a day or two more to make sure he is rested. They say this is not unusual in nonemergency surgery — particularly for older patients. The hospitalization is his fifth for a major illness in 11 years. 'Die surgery will be his second in 10 years. The previous surgery, in June 1956, was an emergency abdominal operation after he was stricken with regional ileitis, a constriction of part of his small intestine. flight from Kansas CJity, Mo., to Omaha. TIME PINPOINTED CAB investigators have pinpointed the time of the accident at 11:12 p.m. The tape picked up much of the cockpit conversation during the last 9% minutes of the flight. The first indication of weather trouble came at 11:02 when either the pilot, Capt. Donald G. Pauley, or the first officer, James A. Hikkiker, commented: “It’s getting a little rough." The crew asked Kansas City and Chicago for authorization to change course and reduce altitude from 20,000 to 5,000 feet.

RUDY LEWIS Dingell: Widen Ship Inquiry sinking. The 60-year-old Morrell broke apart and sank off Harbor Beach, Mich., during a Lake Huron storm Nov. 29, One of the 29 crew members survived. Dingell said he planned to introduce legislation in Congress next year to help modernize the Great Lakes fleet, possibly by providing federal assistance. LAKERS AGING The fresh water of the Great Lakes tends to lengthen the lives of ships, he said. But,the added: “There must be a limit, and cannot help but wonder whether we are watching the aging of our lakers closely enough. Many other carriers operating on the lakes are similarly aged and are rapidly becoming obsolete.” advantages. Each year a couple can give gifts totaling $6,000 and still be exempt from federal gift taxes. Heard Dull Thud, Says Senator of Explosion on Ship SAIGON, South Viet Nami (AP) —“All I heard was dull thud,” said Sen. Henry M. Jack-son, D-Wash., who was aboard the destroyer Manley when a five-inch shell exploded during operations off Viet Nam. “I was in the chart house behind the bridge at the time,” he told newsmen today in Sai^m. ★ ★ ★ Jackson was unhurt but the considering an emergency land- fire that Mowed the blast in a gun turret Wednesday injured three of the Manley’s crewmen. Jackson had high praise for the destroyer’s captain, Cmdr. Warren G. Graham of Valdosta, Ga.; its crew; and its medical corpsmen. FOURTH VISIT The senator, on his fourth visit to Viet Nam, was aboard the Manley to observe a naval bombardment. 'There is no question that we will need additional troops in Viet Nam,” Jackson said after six days of touring U.S. installations from the Mekong delta to the demilitarized zone. In addition, by shifting the money from parental ownership to the child’s account, the donor shifts income from a higher to a lower tax bracket-perhaps even out of reach of taxes. Few people are going to give $6,000 away at Christmas, even to their children. But the example shows how liberal the laws are. i Parents who give stock to children still may claim the $600 federal income tax exemption for each child regardless of the child’s income from the gift. ONE-HALF SUPPORT The usual provision exists, however, that the parent must pay at least one-half the child’s support and that he is under 19 or a full-time student.
