Straley Mum on His Visit to Lansing LANSING — A _ hush-hush was! clamped on what Pontiac Police Chief Herbert W. Straley was doing here yesterday. “They were just friendly winits: ae said Straley, who faces ouster | charges as chief for alleged in- competency and lack of leadership. He declined to say why he spent — nearly an hour Wednesday after- noon in the office of Supreme | Court Justice Thomas M. Kava- nagh while accompanied by Pon- tiac Supervisor Maurice J. Cro- teau. Kavanagh was Michigan attorney general during much of Straley’s tenure as chief. * * Questioned after the secret con- ference, Croteau said Kavanagh is! “an old friend of mine.’ Croteau_ _,flso refused to say what was dis- cussed. “But I can promise you some surprises,” he said. Croteau, in Lansing for the Mich-. igan State Association of Super-, visors Conference, said further, “We're not just going to be on the. defensive in this matter. We Plan) an saependive Sete eee 1“ | | What at re might be will come to light, Croteau added, at. a coming City Commission meeting. _ ..Croteau rapped the Public Ad- i ministration Seryice report which | had criticized Straley’s work~as chief, and didn't speak too high- ty of Géorge. D. Eastman, new public safety director. Eastman is preparing the charges against Straley. - Croteau did disclose some infor: | mation about his luncheon meet-| ing with Straley when he admitted | they were>talking “about Herb’s future.” But he denied Straley was looking for another job should he be ousted from the department. * * * Straley himself denied he was in Lansing to gather character ref erences from past employers for his “aggressive counter-attack” to hold onto his job. “| don't have to ge around w for character réfer- ences,” the chief snapped. Besides his visit with Kavanagh, Straley talked with Joseph Childs, State Police commissioner in his East Lansing office. The chief said The missile is the 1,500-mile Thor, a combat-ready weapon that also is a workhorse in space research. It can | catry a nuclear warhead known as the “County-buster” and is stockpiled at bases in this country and abroad. But because of its limited range, the future of the Thor is uncertain. This picture emerged today after the first press tour of Thor production and testing facilities here and in Sacramento, Calif. Newsmen Wednesday saw parts of more than a dozen Thors on an assembly line at the Douglas Aircraft plant here and 17 finished missiles in a storage area. * * * At Sacramento they say a demonstration that a hangared Thor can be made ready to launch by quickly trained crews 15 minutes after the order to fire. At the factory, officials showed how the Thor and its launching equipment can be packaged for airlift to any part of the world. A Thor squadron has 15 missiles, all ready to be fired _ at once, at the same target or at 15 different targets. In the field, each missile requires only four men to fuel and ' fire it.

FITZGERALD President and Publisher Editorial Page Owned and Published Locally THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1959 MEMBER OF THE ASSQCIATED PRESS Sales Tax Increase Is Sensible Solution Republican legis! lators in Lansing have suggested a one cent increase in the sales tax as the t cure for Michigan's very unhealthy finan cia! climate. Something must be done We have to pay our bills * * * Perhaps the sales tax ds the easiest tax to administer as it doesn't require a battalion of at- tornevs, experts, court cases, etc., etc. to get started. We have a three cent. sales tax now. This would add one cent and would be spread throughout the vear. It would be paid in direct proportion to the amount of money a tax- payer spent. A citizen who paid out $140,000 during the year would pay ten times as much as an in- dividual who parted with $1,000, * * * It may not be perfect but what everyone wants to avoid new taxes. No tax will ever be ‘popular’ or be received with loud cheers and a 21 gun salute. But this one will raise an estimated 100 mil- lion and the management would be relatively simple. Also, it would be almost impossible for the tax dodgers > -€aSles tax is? Eve wid added to escape * * * Who has a better idea? Cuban-U.S. Relations Due for Improvement A distinguished career diplomat, Puitip W. Bonsat, has been named Ambassador to Cuba. Before joining the State Department in 1938, he was a communications company execu- tive there and his first diplomatic of vice consul in post was that Havana * * * The resentment of the Cuban peo- ple against the United States is un- derstandable and not undeserved. A prominent Southern Senator speak- ing at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba a few days before the downfall of Batista, said that he “hadn't heard of any fighting” and Yhat since there was no civil war, arms to Dictator Batista (banned since March, 1958) ‘for internal security.” He called the Castro a revolutionaries a “group of bandits Then, too, following the Jan lution there was much critie the Castro repime in Washington and elsewhere. * * * Cuba's new Ambassador to Washington, Dr. Kenest Dihige, is an educator and diplomat of distinction. He is Professor of Roman Law at the University of Havana, an author of books on international law and a former Ambassador to the United Nations. He knows this countrs well. There is much repair work to be done in) American-Cuban relations and a good start has been made with the appointments of these able diplo- mats.
