School Mergers, Bond Plans on
Area Ballots
Hie future of the Dublin and North Oxford —school districts — for at— least the next five years— will be decided by voters# in five Oakland County districts tomorrow.
A proposed reorganization plan will be mi the ballot in the Dublin, North Oxford, Oxford, Walled Lake and ' Waterford Township districts.
Devised -by-the Oakland County School District Reorganization Committee, the plan calls for DnbHn-Wallcd Lake and North Oxford-Oxford school mergers.
All die voters in the five dig^p tricts will ballot as a unit on The'-
question.
If a majority does' not approve the proposal, another plan cannot be offered for five years. STATE STATUTE The proposal was formulated in compliance with a 1964 state statute which abolishes school districts Itot having full kinder-garten-through-12th-grade programs.
Some 867 chfMren now are attending classes at Dublin School, with another 320 students from file district enrolled in ninth through 12th grade in Walled Lake schools. There are 26 pupitein kindergarten through sixth grade at the one-room North Oxford School and about eight from the district attending Dryden schools.
Three propositions win face Walled Lake School District voters at the polls tomorrow — two bonding proposals and a county school reorganization plan.
They will be asked to approve a $9,190,000 bond issue to build and equip a senior high school, two elementary schools and to purchase future school sites.
The second proposition seeks $550,000 to build and equip a swimming pool in the proposed high school.
Annexation of the Dublin School District plus 387 acres of the' Waterford, district to the . Walled Lake district constitutes ?the third proposition, ijr-'f*r--m
Schools Supt. George G. Carver said approval of the two bonding proposals will increase tapes by only 1 mill or $1 per $1,000 of equalized valuation. NECESSARY LEVY The district now levies six mjils for debt retirement and to be eligible to borrow from the State Bond Loan fund, It must levy seven mills.
Garver also explained that file increase will remain foe same, even if the school building is approved and the swimming pool rejected.
The pool, he explained, was put ih a separate proposal so as not to jeopardize the school buildings in case voters turned down the pool.
Some 58 per cent of the 42,845 electors qualified to vote on the issue tomorrow are hi the Waterford Township district.
SMALL PORTION They have been given a voice in the matter because the proposed reorganization of the Dub-' lin mid Walled Lake districts includes a small portion of White Lake Township property now in the Waterford Township School District.
As plans for the reorganization developed, Walled Lake school officials indicated they (Continued on Page 2, Col. 2)

“We want people to know that this pool is not just for high school students,” he said. “It is for all tee elementary and junior high school pupils as well as the entire community.” t LOWER COSTS
Constructton costs for the " pool will be much lower if it is built in conjunction with file high school rather than as a later addition, he said.
Garver said that 79 per cent of the square footage in the new high school will be used for instruction whereas 60 per cent is normally considered good. The school will feature two amphitheater-type clan-rooms for large group instruction.

LONDON (UPI) — Peking has barred Soviet aircraft from flying over Communist Chinese terrotory, thus blocking an airlift of Red aid to North Viet Nam, Iron Curtain sources said today.______

Growing Red Chinese hostility toward Russia, moreover, has led to the elimination of aU cooperation with the Russians who are now also suspect of spying, the sources said.

Recheck Could Call In 50,000
WASHINGTON iff) — Some young men who got past their 26th birthday on draft deferments may be called to military service after all.
Selective Service confirmed last night that it is ordering preinduction physical examinations for all 26-to-35-year-olds who had defer-
ments but are now classi-fiecLlA.orl-AD.
The national rpcheck could produce about 50,000 potential draftees — about one month’s “quota in terms of■fitir month’s draft call.
A man’s draft liability normally ends at his 26th birthday. But if he was deferred for any reason — often to continue his schooling — he is draft-eligible until age 35, Deferments' held past age 26 have in recent years meant draft exemption/because Selective Service hastiot inducted from the older grouty A spokesman said tost night, however, that 28,153 men in the previously deferred 26-35 |)rack-et already have been found

They would be placed in what is known as the fifth priority category for induction. MARRIED MEN Some men in the fourth category — those married in recent years during a period of automatic deferment for married men — are now being drafted.
The categories affected by any given monthly draft call varies from local board to to-cai board, depending on manpower availability.
Thus, one board might fill its quota from all young, single men while another board might eventually have to call a previously deferred 35-year-old.
The draft call for October is 49,200 men due to a recent boost of 3,000. The present November plan is to induct 43,700.

State Dept. Nominees Face Quiz
WASHINGTON (AP) - Eugene V. Rostow and Fqy D. Kohler, nominated by President Johnson for the No. 3 and No. 4 in toe State Department, give Congress a rundown today of their views on war and peace.
Rostow, named undersecretary for political affairs, and Kohler, ambassador to Moscow nominated to become Rostow’s deputy, face a critical examination by the Senate Foreign Rela-"ons Committee.
Chairman J. W. Fulbright and some of the other so-called doves on the committee regard Rostow’s brother — presidential assistant Walt W. Rostow one of the administration’s chief hawks. And Fulbright thinks Eugene, former Yale. Law School dean, may be a bird of the same feather.
Fulbright doesn’t particularly approve of brother-teams in government, either. But he has indicated he will not attempt to fight Senate approval of tow, calling confirmation of presidential nominations simply “ritual.” j ’
FOLLOWING KATZENBACH In going before the committee for an examination of their credentials, Rostow and Kohler are following the new undersecretary of state, Nicholas Katzenbach. He was confirmed by the Senate last Friday after he was admonished by Fulbright not to be too subservient to present U. S. foreign policy,

Big Three Set Output Record
September Car Total Js Largest in History
DETROIT (AP) - Three U.S. auto companies bftilt more cars last month than in any previous September in, history as they hurried to get a full supply of 1967 models x to the market place.
GeneralMotors,Fordand Chrysler all set new September highs. American Motors’ showing was its strongest September since 1964.
Preliminary production ports from the four companies set September output in U.S. plants at 646.843 cars, far ahead of the 491,546 built in September last year.
The healthy production port came as cheering news to the auto industry whose 1967 line either has been or is about to be introduced in dealer showrooms.
October production schedules called for about 876,000 cars as the buildup of 1967’s continued to pick up momentum.

'We have our laterals all constructed,” he said. "It's the township who must build laterals.”
Alexander said the project could be done for $100,000 less to the local municipalities and that they could, by going along with the DPW, get 90 per emit of the investment returned as communities farther north hooked onto t|ie arm.
DPW officials and financial consultants said the authority still might be used for the construction of laterals.

Two-Car Accident Hospitalizes Five
_ ELBA TOWNSHIP - Fiv persons are in satisfactory condition at Lapeer County General Hospital' today following a two-car accident last night on M21 two miles west of Lapeer.
Injured in the accident which occurred at 11:45 p.m. wer Donald Nesbitt, 28, and Su Nesbitt, 23, both of Chicago, in one car.
Alexander made a point of speeding the contractual agreement for three reasons: one, that Rochester could then be involved to the tune of a $.5 million savings for the township in foe early years; two, that if the project does get moving quickly enough there is some chance that the city of Pontiac and Orchard Lake Village may come in, thereby spreading foe costs thinner over foe involved areas; and three, race contracts are signed, there is greater hope of receiving federal aid.
Discussion preceding the verbal agreement leaned toward foe need for future planning and such a sewer, but township officials were worried about paying for it in foe early years before usage rises to foe point of making it a self-paying proposition.
The figure, 3.5 mills spread over, foe township, was discussed by Charles Moon, bonding attorney; that figure being reduced to a possible 2.5 mills if foe village of Rochester is brought into foe plan.

Alexander said once Avon signs foe contract for the CUaton-OaUand Interceptor, work could begin immediately sc the Paint Creek Arm in order to have it ready for foe opening of Crittenton Hospital sometime next spring.
Alexander said he would spread foe 2.3 per cent promised to alleviate Avon’s financial burden among the other five townships of Pontiac, Orion, West Bloomfield* Independence and Waterford.
Injured occupants of foe second car were Flossie J. Brown, 35, of 757 S. Saginaw, Lapeer;
" Arlan Brown, 42, of the same address; Beatrice Groth, 40, of Cas City; and William McCool, 37, of Kingston.

For Novi Manager
Sewer Funding Study Ordered
NOVI — Village Manager Harold Ackley was directed by foe Village Council last night to look into methods of special assessments on a joint sewer project with foe city of Walled Lake.
Ackley said it will be up to him to decide whether. to finance the project through special assessments as set up in foe charter or to use Public Acts 185 setting up a special assessment district through the Oakland County Department of Public Works.
The charter limits foe special assessment to 15 years, he said, while the DPW Allows 30 years.
_ He explained that the charter
could provide for 30 years if it Were amended through a vote of foe people which would take time.
He said "time is of foe essence” so he will probably recommend going through the DPW and using public act 185. He pointed that this way, residents would pay half of what they would under the charter.
NOT DECIDED It will also have to be decided, he said, whether to special assess foe laterals and all trunks or just foe laterals and let foe county DPW put in the
Ackley is to report his findings on Oct. 17.
The two communities are considering a joint sewage treatment plant, a trank line sewer and an internal sanitary sewer system to serve the residents of Walled Lake and those residents of foe northern portion of Novi around the lake.
Of the $4.4-million total cost, Walled Lake would pay $3,154,-448 and Novi $1,245,552.
(Continued From Page One) school building for next year. Garver said it was designed to hold 1,300 pupils and it currently accommodates more than 1,800.
Enrollment predictions indi-
cate this figure will reach almost 2,390 before the new school can be ready in 1969.
The new ng is to be located on becK Road between Maple and Pontiac Trail.
He said that reduction would be made in deference to the exclusion of Rochester from foe plan and that it would remain whether or not Rochester to eventually brought in.
The point was also made that should Rochester incorporate and should it choose to annex portions of the township in later years, those portions would bring their liabilities With them in regard to the DPW sewer interceptor.
The enrollment pressure also being felt in foe district’s elementary schools. A new elementary school will be needed by 1968 and a second one by 1970.

Novi is one of several communities cited by the Commission as failing to control pollution. They have been given until 1969 to install sewers and facilities.

Utica School Vote Expected
on $l5.5-Million Bond Issue
Though not yet adopted by the board of education, foe plan for coping with the area’s fast growing population was presented to a cross-section of 150 of the district’s taxpayers at a special meeting last night at Shelby Junior High School.
Schools Supt. Philip E. Run-kel reports that reaction to last night’s presentation was 95 per cent favorable, and that foe board will undoubtedly adopt the building program at its meeting Monday night.
Facts brought out* by Utica’s citizens’ committee for were that in 1969, Utica would be short 112 elementary classrooms, 64 junior high rooms, and 25 senior high rooms.
FUTURE SITES Officials also feel it is necessary to acquire land for future sites now while prices are still reasonable.
Garver said Walled Lake’: total tax levy of 26.20 mills places foe district 22nd out of 29 Oakland County school districts in terms of total millage.
He said that approval of foe bond issues will wily move foe district up to 21st Only property owners may vote on foe bond issues, but all registered voters are eligible to vote on foe reorganization plan.
This, they pointed out, is after all facilities now in foe process of construction, including four elementary schools and foe Ad-lai Stevenson High School, are in use.
INCLUDED IN TOTAL The bonding total, highest! ever tn the district, includes $6.7 jjj million for six new elementary schools; $6.1 million for -two new junior high schools; $800,
000 for a swimming pool at foe new Adlai Stevenson High School; and $1 million for a future site fund which officials believe will effect a savings over the years.
Another $900,000 is earmarked for research centers in
those elementary schools which do not now have them, storage facilities, an updating of such items as the science laboratories in the old h I g h school, and remodeling of other facilities.
Though the total far exceeds the 1964 bond issue of jgjjnil ion, Runkel says cost of foe building program will be negligible to foe taxpayer due to the ‘ i’s ruling that school districts do not have to levy over 7 mills for debt payment.
Since Utica now levies 6.68 mills, foe net cost to taxpayers will be .32 mill. The state, ac-eroding to Runkel, loans at no interest and in foe belief that
as the area grows, income will rise to meet obligations.
STAFF EXPENSES
Where taxpayers are apt to feel the rub, according to Runkel, is in the six mills needed tor operational expenses to staff and maintain the new buildings proposed.
Runkel says his department has figured that bonds and mill-age together would cost an own-of a $10,000 market value Se $2.62 a monfoy a $15,000^ home, $5.25 a month; a $25,000 home, A6.56 amonfoi(aito^A36r 000 home, $7.87 a month.
Since the majority of homes ■ the Utica district sell for about $20,000 Runkel feels foe average householder will pay an additional $5 25 a month to support foe program should it pass.

To Ease East-West Tension
9 Small Europe Nations Meet
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)—Foreign ministers from nine small nations confer today in an attempt to put new life into a U.N. call for improvement in East-West relations in Europe.
The General Assembly gave unanimous approval last year to the proposal sponsored by the nine nations representing the Warsaw Pact group, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and tiie neutral camp.
Peace Prayer Led by Pope
VATICAN CITY (AP)-Pope Paul YI led the world’s Roman Catholics today in special prayers for peace in Viet Nam.
The Pontiff scheduled an outdoor mass and a speech in St. Peter’s Square late this afternoon. He wai expected to Urge again that every effort be made to end the fighting in Southeast Asia.
Secretary General V Thant hailed the plan as a “welcome indication of the progressive ending of what has become known as the Cold War.” But the proposal has lain dormant for tiie past 11 months.
It calls for breaking down barriers to trade and cultural relations among countries of different political systems and for a return to the spirit of good neighborliness.
MET IN BELGRADE Representatives of the nine nations met in Belgrade last month to discuss ways of getting the plan into motion.
“We are meeting at the foreign ministers’ level to try to
get the ball rolling on this idea,” said a representative of Romania, one of the nine sponsors of the resolution.
A „A *
“We are hopeful of getting help from such agencies as UNESCO (the U.N. Economic Scientific and Cultural Organization) and ECOSCO (the Economical and Social Council) to implement our plan.”
A ★ A
The nine sponsors are Belgium and Denmark for NATO, Sweden, Finland, Austria and Yugoslavia for tiie nonaligned group, rod Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary for the Warsaw Pact. Their foreign ministers are in New York to take part in the assembly’s general policy debate.
RUSK RETURNING Secretary of State Dean Rusk was returning to New York today to continue talks with various foreign ministers attending the assembly. It was considered likely he would discuss the nipe-nation plan which the United States has endorsed.
A A A
The nonaligned nations have long sought, without much
cess, to come up with some plan that would ease East-West differences, but this is the first time that Communist and non-Communist nations have gotten together on such a plan.
_____A • A_____A
The Soviet Union, France and Britain were left off the list of sponsors despite the fact that the proposal directly affects them. The sponsors were limited to smaller nations in the belief that the plan might have a better chance of success if the big powers were not directly involved.

Stock Mart Irregularly Lower to Hold Firm
NEW YORK (AP)—The stock market moved irregularly lower early today in active trading.
After breaking below the previous 1966 bottom in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Monday, the stock market continued weak although there were scattered signs of resist-ance to further decline.
Most stocks continued losers. Zenith fell more than a point, Polaroid 2, Texaco 1%, Loril-lard 1.
Fractional gains were posted by du Pont, Jones & Laughliri, General Motors, Pfizer, Merck and Southern Railway. Texas Instruments rebounded about a point.
Market technicians were trying to guess where the next "‘support level’* would be from which the market might stage comeback, but there was little general conviction of this. Be-
cause of the big losses taken Monday, however, some kind of a technical rally was looked for.
Losses of less than a point were shown by U.S, Steel, Goodrich, Radio Corp., United Air
Lines, General Electric and Allied Chemical.

The freeze, scheduled to run into 1967, cuts across the cherished rights of British workers to bargain freely and collectively. *

Much Of this year s price ac-ttvity was unsoundly based. Small investors were in foe market, some of them buying even as insider* were selling. Their desire often was fed by rumors, hopes and considerable cash, much of it obviously from savings accounts.

SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) — American, Korean and Vietnamese troops drove from three sides today against a Communist force on which they already had inflicted a three-day toll of 478 killed or captured.
The allied troops kept up their pressure on a force of North Vietnamese army regulars and Viet Cong main force units operating to the mountains and lQwlands near the coast of central Viet Nam 30 miles north of Qui Nhon.

The drive got under way Sunday when helicopter-borne troops of foe U. S. 1st Cavalry Division (airmobile) launched foe operation. Since then the Americans, bearing down from the north, have reported killing 291 Communists and capturing 131.
DOWN CHOPPER
The toll1 of U.S. helicopters went up, however, as a U.S. spokesman reported another chopper shot down during the fighting today on the central coast. It was the fourth lost since the operation, called Irv-ing, started.
The U.S. Command also reported that an Air Force F100 Supersabre Jet was shot down 35 miles west of Can Tho, in the Mekong Delta southwest of Saigon. The plane was making a napalm run against Viet Cong positions and was the 124fo U.S. plane reported lost over South Viet Nam. -MARINES QUIET
No major fighting was reported by U.S. Marines to the jun-gled mountains just south of the Demilitarized Zone, but U.S. B52 bombers pounded North Vietnamese troop concentrations and infiltration routes there and 12 miles northwest of the Marine forward headquarters at Dong Ha.

American air attacks on North Viet Nam were heavier than usual Monday, with U.S. pilots flying 161 bombing missions. They aimed most of their attacks at truck and water traffic and claimed destroying or damaging 95 barges, five junks and 41 trucks.
Pilots also reported their napalm and fragmentation bombs set off 54 fires and 10 secondary s at a storage area and transshipment point 30 miles southeast of Dong Hoi, in North Viet Nam’s southern panhandle.
Units of the 1st Brigade, U.S. 101st Airborne Division reported killing 12 Viet Cong in three small clashes 11 miles south of Tsy Hoa, on the South Vietnamese copst.

By ROGER E. SPEAR (Q) “Can you inform me regarding foe merger of FMC Corp. and an electronic outfit based in Louisiana, and their interest to Lok-Trak, lac.?” A.
(A) I regret my inability to clarify foe merger puzzle you have brought to nay attention. I can only suggestyfhe possibility that FMC, through its military contracts, may have had favorable business dealings with a private sub-contractor. This association may have led to rumors of a takeover because FMC has used this technique to broaden its operations.
Some investors- are quick to act upon such a rumor hoping that it can be turned into a profitable trade. Some even like to try their skill at uncovering takeover candidates. In my judgment, however, the odds are against them. By the time a merger proposal reaches the public, foe terms have been set-tied and the market has prob-ably recorded foe anticipated value gains if one or both companies are publicly owned.
Many . current merger talks have been terminated rather abruptly... Terminations this year toted 70 through mid-July,
suggesting caution when speculating for gold in a takeover. “Mergeritis” flourishes to a bull market and has lately been scrutinized closely by government regulatory agencies. The Federal Trade Commission is presently moving to restrain several companies frpm acquiring new units for at least ten years. *

(Q) “Having sold some American Telephone to diversify, I’ve been thinking about buying Sean, Roebuck. I am 84, so I am not looking for growth stocks. Is Sean right for me? Please expiate in-sored sayings accounts.” E.C.
(A) Sears, Roebuck is primarily a growth stock, yielding around two per cent. I recommend for you a high-yield income issue like Stone & Webster, New England Electric System or Marine Midland. Accounts to commercial and mutual savings banks are insured up toi $10,000 for each depositor through foe federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In case of bank failure, the Federal agency will repay depositors what is due them up to this statutory limit.
