Mayor Vows Thoroughness Long Housing Debate Seen City Commission debate on a proposed open-occupancy ordinance will take thorough consideration and time, Mayor William H. Taylor Jr. said last night. Taylor declined to give any date when, the commission would, be able to produce an ordinance, but said the issue would be given top consideration at informal commission meeting^ in forthcoming weeks. He said the commissioners would make extensive use of materials collected by the city law office in attempting to produce an ordinance which could work in the city of Pontiac. The material, basically a compilation of ordinances which have been passed by other municipalities and recommendations of officials in some of these cities, was presented to the commission last night. Taylor spoke at length against being •'too hasty” in adopting an ordinance. Negroes in the audience who have been Other Commission Action, See Page A-8 pushing for. an ordinance during the past four weeks seemed ready to give the commission ample opportunity to effect an ordinance. In outlining steps the commission expects to take, Taylor said an ordinance will depend on the respective attitudes of all seven commissioners.

( £ State s Top Court to on Teacher Work Rule Orders DETROIT (AP) — The State'Supreme Court has agreed to rule whether striking Michigan school teachers may be forced back into classrooms through lower-court injunctions. ★ ir ★ The court may not decide until October or later, and meanwhile it left standing bhek-to-work orders handed down by lower courts in Holland, Bay City and Saginaw. In a 5-3 decision the Supreme Court last night told Holland school teachers, in effect, to stay in their classrooms pending its ruling on legality of an injunction by Circuit Judge Raymond L. Smith ordering them back to work. The justices said they would hear an appeal from the Ottawa County circuit judge’s ruling at its October term. The case is, similar to those in which Saginaw and Bay City teachers also have been ordered back to work. ★ ★ ★ The Supreme Court’s ruling, which .came yesterday at Boyne Mountain where the justices are attending a judicial conference, presumably-opened the way for .school boards ih 19 other strike-beset districts to seek similar lower-court orders. 400,000 SCHOOLLESS Almost 400,000 Michigan school chil- dren have been unable to return to schools this fall because of teacher strikes. Teachers are demanding, contracts that would give them more money, smaller classes and other things, including in Oak Park the rigit to fire principals, if they choose. Within hours of the court’s ruling striking teachers in Flint’s Beecher district placed a box on a table at a meeting of their school board, announcing: “This is for you,” ★ ★ ★ Board members made no move to look into the box, which teachers told news- men afterward contained resignations from 220 of the district’s 260 teachers. COULD BE CONFETTI The box disappeared later, without having been opened, and A. George Dixon, board president, told newsmen: “For all I know the box contains confetti.” * Presumably the reported resignation movement was aimed at nullifying the board’s plan to seek a back-to-work injunction. The board announced, meanwhile, it had asked its attorney to hold up until tomorrow at least any request for an injunction. Teachers Reject Board's Offer By JERRY ROBBINS City Editor, The Pontiac Press LA COSTA, Calif. — Optimism continues to prevail at Ford Motor Co. despite the current strike and an anticipated price increase on 1968 cars. “It’s still business as usual at Ford dealerships all across the country”’ M. S. McLaughlin, Ford Division general manager, told more than 100 newsmen here yesterday in discussing the strike. McLaughlin was, the main speaker at the opening of Ford’s three-day national press preview at the fashionable La Costa resort, a scenic three-acre facility 30 times north of San Diego, near the Pacific Coast at Carlsbad. “When the strike stopped production, Ford dealers had about 158,000 new 1967 modek-cars-on harid"Sfld approximately 67,000 1968 cars will become available for sale Sept. 22,” McLaughlin said. “That will give dealers a total of 225,000 new cars to weather the production gap. “Currently, our dealers are selling about 4,600 new cars per selling day,” (Continued on Page A-2, CdL4) Flash Seen Through Tonight Variable cloudiness and warmer is the forecast for the Pontiac area through tonight.

Plans to expand the season of the Meadow Brook Theatre, adding summer performances, were announced yesterday. John Fernald, director of the Meadow Brook Theatre at Oakland University, said the repertory group will stay on campus next summer. During the eight weeks of the Meadow Brook Music Festival, the John Fernald Company will perform in their playhouse. Some plays will be new productions; others will be those given during the first two seasons. * ★ * Fernald made his announcement at a press conference in Detroit, at which time he introduced actors and staff members. NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS Fernald also announced that negotiations are in progress to take his company on tour to both Durham, N. H. and Oakland, Calif. “Very serious negotiations are now in progress,” he said. “Though many details remain to be worked out, I can. tel! you at this time that these are serious offers and that we are prepared to make commitments as quickly as details can be settled to take the company on tour to both the Atlantic and the Pacific without prejudice to the fact that Oakland University is our permanent home.” The decision on which shows might be going on tour has not been made, but the offers involve productions of the 1967-68 and the 1968-69 seasons. The John Fernald Company is not yet a year old. Its premiere performance, “The Caucasian Chalk Circle,” was given Jan. 4, 1967. Four more plays, each running a month, and a children’s play at Easter made up the first season. The 1967-68 season has been expanded from five to seven plays and from 20 to 35 weeks. It opens Oct. 6 with “The Importance of Being Earnest." In addition, three school matinees (closed to the public) will be presented each week. Fernald’s 10 years as principal of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London prepared him for an added role this fall. The Academy of Dramatic Art at Oakland University opens Sept. 29 with 14 students. A like number will be added in January and April. * , * * Auditions will be held in October. The actors arrived Monday and were flown from Metropolitan Airport to Robbins Field in Royal Oak in two Aero Commanders. They took a flight over Detroit and over OU campus before touching down and completing their trip by car. Ford Optimistic Despite Strike Birmingham teachers today rejected the board of education’s “final” offer to resolve a contract dispute which has prer vented the opening of school for five days. Walter Piel, administrative assistant at the Birmingham schools office, said the school attorney will now be authorized to go to court to require the teachers to perform under their contract. “We feel we have exhausted all possible resources during a week of factfinding and negotiation,” Piel said. The board’s final offer had included, besides salary adjustments, full paid individual coverage on health and hospitalization and a plan for making up school days lost by the strike. A Birmingham beginning teacher with a bachelor’s degree last year made $5,800. The maximum for the master’s degree wage scale was $11,000. In Bloomfield Hills, Supt. Eugene Johnson said negotiations remained at a stalemate. The dispute was still in the hands of mediators this morning.

The Firebird is available in both the convertible and hardtop coupe models. By DICK ROBINSON An outspoken critic on school financing today lashed out at the Pontiac school system for moaning about a lack of money every year and then ending up with a surplus of funds. WflUe S. Downes, a 78-year-old former in-dustrialist who says his “hobby” is to keep school officials “on their toes,” said he would figft a possible bond election next spring to raise money for new schools. A defeated candidate for the school board in 1948 and 1960, Downes said he has “stuck his nose out” for 35 yean on school financing and construction in Pontiac. Downes, who four years ago served on a board-appointed citizens committee to study school needs, claims he helped-defeat an increased millage proposal in 1960 and settled a teacher contract dispute behind the scenes ' two years ago. dr to ★' “I don’t see why (Supt. Dr. Dana) Whit-mer yells every year for more money when he ends up with more than they need,” Downes commented. MILLAGE ELECTION School officials had indicated that a bond and/or millage election may be Held next spring to get approval to increase schools operating millage and raise money for school construction. A bond referendani to necessary, school administrators say, because toe district has just about used up its two , per cent of school district, assessed valuation ($457 million) bonding Hmito-tion without getting the citizens approval. -Downes sharply criticized Whitmer for “taking advantage of the two per ceiit Urn-it” which he said wilt make the distrfct bwe $9.1 million in bonded indebtedness. ★ * to “I don’t think we need a millage increase now unless toe administration proves they need it,” Downes commented, “t favor paying as you go and not bond elections which cost a lot more.” ' ; SURPLUS CLAIMED \Dowhes, former head of Pontiac Millworh, Co. who lives at 1801 Opdyke, Pontiac Town-' ship, claims the school district has at feast a $1 million year-end balance every year because the .surplus is “piled up,” not expended and just-carried over to the next years-balance. School Business Manager Vera Schiller said this has been true in the past beeanse it “has been good business to have the surplus to carry ns through Jnly and August before tax income money arrives.” He added that toe district will not do this any more, that the surplusyrill have to .be spent and that money may nhve to be.bor-rowed for those interim months. . On other school topics; Downes said: • Pontiac Central High School: '(All It needs is a little cleaning up and some discipline by teachers, ndt replacement.” \ • i to to to Y • Teacher salaries: “I’d give the teach\ ers the money they a$k for but at the ex-\ pense of having larger classes.” ■ • Human Resources ‘Center: “It to pot necessary now.

The money, to be obtained by the side of qualified unlimited bonds, is expected to raise the district’s current bonding millage to 8. Residents presently pay 3.3 mills on a 1966 bond issue which saw construction of the senior high school, the Clear Lake Elementary School and additions at Lakeville, Leonard and Thomas. Schools Supt. Roger pberg reported that after the first year be expects that rising valuation of . the district will reduce the beading total to 7 mills. By selling the qualified unlimited bonds, the millage can be altered to meet the principal and interest payments of the current year. Oberg said it is the district’s intention to avoid borrowing from the state school loan fund, even though by boosting the total bonding millage over the 7-mill limitation, It would thereby become eligible for partial help. The band issue, if approved, would provide a new Junior high school for 700 students on a site yet to be located and also the district’s first bus garage. It would provide an,, addition to Clear Lake Elementary School, located in a fast developing area, which, would boost Its capacity from the present 255 at Clear Lake, two temporaries A Daniel Axford school, and one temporary room at Lakeville. Enrollment, said Oberg, is up 210 students over last year for a total of more than 2,500 in the district. Two church classrooms have also been pressed into service, he said. The citizen’s committee, which will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the junior high school, is expected to back the proposed expansion. 1 Under the new plan the present junior high echoed would be for board of education offices and as an emergency source of additional classroom space. Additions at Lakeville and Leonard would boost capacities in those two schools from 136 to 180 and from 167 to 240, respectively, Oberg said. i' * ★ ★ Clear Lake would gain six classrooms, plus kindergarten and special education rooms, a kitchen and library, A kindergarten room would be added at i Lakeville and two classrooms at Leon-! aid.

At Monday night’s Village Council meeting, Village Manager, Clifford Cottrell, head of the Citizens’ Committee, announced the plan as a counter-proposal to Walled Lake’s plans to annex toe village. Walled Lake is responding by forming a fact-finding committee of about. 188 city, reported Walled Lake City Manager Royce Downey.

VILLAGE PETITIONS Petitions for Wolverine Lake’s proposal are still being circulated, reported Cottrell. If the Citizens’ Committee can obtain on its petitions 80 per cent of those who signed the annexation petitions, the incorporation vote wfll take precedence over file annexation vote, said Village Attorney Gene Schnelz. He is basing Ms opinion on Section 5.2067 (1) of Michigan Statues Annotated. Commerce Township Supervisor Robert H.

Tiley, former township supervisor, is also against the village’s proposal. “Incorporation won’t do the township or its residents any good,” he said. He claimed that township residents may have to pay more taxes if they become part of toe proposed city. Walled Lake City Manager Downey emphasized “exploring all possibilities” for the future of toe areas. “Let the citizens decide,” he said. He announced that the city has already enlisted 40 persons to serve on toe pro. posed 100-member fact-finding committee to consider the future of the areas. CROSSROADS 0?

(Editor’s Note: This editorial commented so forthrightly and with such sound judgment on so many segments of our life today that we thought it worth reprinting for everyone to read. /f| appeared recently in the $an Diego Union newspaper, San Diego, California.) One of these days the good people of the United States of America will be heard and heeded. One of these days, not too distant, they will show in unmistakable terms that they are fed up with the slurs~at home and abroad which question our honorable national intentions and goals. One of' these days they will tire of supporting petty tyrants who insult our nation, our flag and our honor with impunity — indeed are often rewarded for their attacks. One of th£se days Americans will tire of the sedition that too often passes for free speech in our nation, especially on our campuses. ★ ★ ★ One of these days the point of tolerance will be pa'ssed on the street where criminality and anarchy too often erupt in the name of freedom of assembly. ‘ One of these days no self respecting American, and he is in the majority, will Stand for the insults to God through the attacks on religion that occur daily, or through the emergence of cults of pseiido religion that need the crutch of dope. One of these days good Americans will scorn the thought that there is virtue in radical behavior for the sake of being an oddball, or that there is virtue in ordinary ditt. One of these days good Americans will show segments of the publishing industry that filthy treatises and smut have no place in the American way of life. One of these days Americans will stand up in favor of capitalism which has given them individually and collectively the best life that any human has known since life began. One of these days Americans will insist that national resources be husbanded and meted out efficiently, not souandered on unmitigated futile sociological slop and sentimental hog-wash. * One of these days Americans will tire of the fact they , cannot eyeh believe what their top officials in Washington say. One of these days they will insist that crime be punished as crime should be, so it is safe to walk the streets anywhere at any time of day or night. One of these days Americans will -insist that our defenses be so strong that no possible question can be raised about their adequacy. One of these days Americans will iiisist that, while American men are dying in Vietnam, the nation should follow a policy of winning that war as rapidly as possible. One of these days Americans will demand that if they are paying the piper they also shall call the tune; that their hard-earned dollars should not support generations of welfare or people who can work and will not. One of these days, in short, Americans will insist that we stop drifting mentally and morally and that we return to the principles that have made the United States of America strong. It will not be an uncertain trumpet. ★ ★ ★ One of these days had better come soon because any one of these days may be much later than we believe for preserving the America we love.

Lions □ WASHINGTON - Someday, when the story is written telling what really went on behind the scenes i in Washington during the Vietnam war, there may be a clearer idea of the current differences between civilian control and military authority than is discernible today. It’s an open secret that the military chiefs believe that lives have been wasted a n d that in the future there will be more casualties than are necessary if the supercau-tious and procrastinating policies of civilian officials keep on frustrating the American military effort in Vietnam. This is not to say,' of course, that those inside our , government who believe in the supremacy of the civilian authority are failing to render a conscientious judgment. ~ It does mean that misconceptions of military strategy are all too prevalent. Thus, McGeorge Bundy — formerly special assistant to President Johnson, and now chairman of the President’s Advisory Commission on the Middle East — wrote a letter to the Washington Post the other day criticizing the summary r e p o r t of the Senate Preparedness subcommittee of which Sen. John Stennis, Democrat, is chairman. He concedes the patriotism and dedication Of the senators, and says their “unanimous recommendation of wider air action seems impressive.” But he disagrees with the argument they have made in sup-jjortofit, Mr. Bundps'cMef point is that military men are merely "urging the value of their own chosen instrainent — in this case military force.” But he thinks that, in reaching its conclusions, the subcommittee “pushes aside all political and diplomatic considerations — and all risks of wider conflict.” He adds; “The subcommittee tells us simply to ‘take the risks that have to be taken and apply the force that is required.’ It thus neglects to examine what its own report calls the ‘serious and legitimate question’ of policy ‘over and above purely military considerations.' IS This is an age-old controversy. It has brought many a tragedy in the history of the world. The public generally knows little about the meaning of ther debates that go on inside Washington between the military and civilians. The concept of “civilian control” is often overemphasized.

The New York Timet /With the House of Representatives returning to work today-, Speaker McCormack and his aides might well turn their attention to the long-stalled Congressional reorganization bill. This measure, piloted through the Senate by Senator Monroney of Oklahoma and sponsored in the House by Representative Madden of Indiana, is becalmed in the House Rules Committee. The covert opposition of powerful committee chairmen is responsible. The Appropriations Committee wants to keep its hearings and key votes closed to the press and public, not open them as the bill would require. The Education and Labor Committee is opposed to being divided into two committees. . ★ 'W - w The Government Operations Committee does not like the bill’s provision for adding a special staff member to each standing committee to carry out a continuing review of Federal grant-in-aid programs; Government Operations wants to reserve that authority for itself. In an effort to bring about some movement, Representative Bolling of Missouri has offered^ a substitute reorganization bill that omits these three controversial features. However, Mr. Bolling proposes other small but useful reforms. The additional changes suggested by Representative Bolling are all desirable. Of the three controversial sections that-he would drop, only the opening up of the processes of the Appropriations Committee is important enough to risk making a fight fop. # k h Neither bill would make the really far-reaching reforms required in the public interest, but the Bolling substitute is clearly better than nothing. Despite the concessions it makes to the . committee oligarchs, however, it will get nowhere unless the' Speaker bestirs himself. Master of Strife The .

THE PONTIAC PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1967 iCify to Borrow No Meet Costs ’ *' Commissioners Okay Yearly Note Issue ,b ' City Commissioners last night authorized taking steps to issue '$2,725,000 in tax anticipation notes to meet expected expenses at the beginning of n e xt *-year. > Finance Director Edward 'Gallagher said the borrowing, a yearly procedure, is necessary because of the fiscal year fol-’ lowed by the city. The fiscal year —from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 — is set by char-. ter. Most cities follow a fiscal year beginning the middle of the year when tax bills are mailed. Property taxes are not levied” • until July 1. but expenses are incurred from Jan. 1, Gallagher said. ★ * * State statutes allow borrowing a maximum of 50 per cent of the 1967 operating levy, r NOMINAL INTEREST < The city issued 32.25 million , fn notes for 1967. Gallagher said interest charges proved to be * nominal. Borrowing of the $2.25 million, •the finance director said, entailed paying $36,612 to banks . for interest charges; but, because of investments in certificates of deposit of money not .needed immediately, the city 'gained about $32,000. Actual cost to the city was ,,’$4,425 for the use of the money ^ in 1967, he said. State to License City Drivers A proposal to have drivers’ licensing . services transferred from city control to the Michigan Department of State met with city commission favor last night. City Manager Joseph A. Warren said the administration would be meeting with the state officials to effect the transfer. Warren recommended the move citing a savings to the city’s operational budget.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Johnson was on notice 'today to cut federal spending or face a tong delay in congressional action on his proposed 10 per cent income tax Through yesterday’s bearing, Mills expressed his displeasure at the expected high deficit. He said he anticipated a trend to even higher deficits and to m o r e tax 'Air Raids Fail to Upset Reds” Filipino Report! on Haiphong Bombing Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., of the House Ways & Means Committee, the most powerful tax-writer in Congress, acknowledged yesterday that he could not now win approval of the measure because a majority of his 25-man panel is not convinced the administration has made a case for it. Called to testify on the bill today were former Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon, now a New York stockbroker; Stuart T. Saunders, chairman of the Pennsylvania Railroad; Walter B. Wriston, president of New York’s First National City Bank, and former Treasury Undersecretary Robert V. Roosa, now with Brown Bros., Har-riman & Co. During an aill-day session with eight economists yesterday, Mills hinted strongly that only big cuts in federal spending would convince foe public—and Congress — that higher taxes are necessary. The President hopes to raise $7.4 billion in new revenue through the proposed surcharge on personal and corporate income tax payments. ' SUPPORT FOR PLAN A small army of economists, both in and out of government, have backed his plan for a variety of reasons: as a means of helping pay for foe Vietnam war, fighting foe threat of inflation, holding down interest rates, and cutting down an anticipated federal budget deficit that could go as high as $29 billion. la n’t' yo The cautious chairman, who has not publicly stated his position on foe tax increase, appeared to be putting pressure on foe administration to take some action on cutting spending to reduoe foe deficit. ★ ★. At one point he asked: “Don’t* you think it’s better to just hold this matter until there is some action downtown (foe executive branch) and in foe Congress?” WOULD SERVE NOTICE I Later, he said “maybe it would be better for us to have a $29-billion deficit . . . with all foe problems it will generate.” That would serve notice, he added, that future big deficits would not be tolerated. He agreed, however, with Dr. Raymond J. Saulnier, a former chairman of President Eisenhower’s Connell of Economic Advisetx, that this approach, while “very educational,” would be “a grave risk.” Some believe that despite the grumbling in Congress, - there will be a tax bill of some kind before foe end of file session, though probably not the whole 10 per cent. ★ ★ ★ The inscrutable Mills seemed to give some support to this probability when he said, apropos of deficit reduction, that a tax increase of 6 to 8 per cent would be only a “drop in foe bucket.” MANILA (AP) - A Filipino correspondent in Haiphong Monday during foe closest raids U.S. planes have made to the center of the city indicated that the Neath Vietnamese considered foe raids nothing unusual. “After foe clear siren, people were back in foe streets as though nothing had happened,” Amando Doronilla reported to foe Manila Times. ★ I ♦ The U.S. Command reported that Navy pilots bombed a main highway bridge within four-fifths of a mile of Haiphong’s Center Monday. Other Navy jets struck a railway bridge, a rail yard and a 13-building warehouse complex within two miles of foe port city’s heart. : * * * Doronilla said he was told the raiders bombed foe Route 5 approaches to Haiphong,” andj added: “Route 5, a 105-kilometer (63-mile) highway linking Hanoi and Haiphong, I been bombed and repaired! countless times.” GLANCING BLOWS This was Doronilla’s report from Haiphong, which the Manila Times made available to The Associated Press: ★ ★ ★ This industrial and port city, through which funnelled substantial aid from Communist countries to North Vietnam, has received only glancing blows from the United States after two years of escalated bombing. Hanoi and Haiphong, | North Vietnam’s second largest city, remain on Washington’s di-minishing list of restricted targets. For destroying Haiphong harbor alone would be a major, escalation step with grave military and political risks. ★ ★ w This explains foe fact that, although Greater Haiphong proper has been raided 300 times since 1965, much of foe city remains intact.

PRECISE DEFINITIONS For example: *1116 introductory chapters in a life science book introduce dozens of words, which describe the parts of plants and animal bodies and their uses. Think about each word until the picture of its appears automatically in your mind as you see the word or hear it. Say it until it rolls comfortably off yonr tongue. If you can find no listener try talking to yourself In the mirror or to a chair. Only then can you read the text easily and follow the classwork right from the first day. ★ ★ ★ In science, mathematics and law, words are given precise meanings. General vague ideas of a word’s definition are worthless. STUDY TECHNIQUES DIFFER ' / For example: In physics, viscosity is the word for Tesistance to flow. A student must study, word and idea unfit he understands that 20 weight motor oil has exactly twenty times the resistance to flow that water has. i 1 ■ Chemistry history.

Since it is possible to determine the date of the different kjnds of rock, it is also possible tp date the fossils whose imprints are fuiind in them. Such imprints were maae by plants or creatures which died and were covered With mud or other material, which later turned to stone.
