Patrick McNamara’s decision to retire from the U.S. Senate opens the way for what could be a partysplitting battle for the Democratic nomination. If Detroit Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh and former six-term Gov. G. Mennen Williams both seek the nomination it could bring the most serious Democratic split in Michigan since the I960 gubernatorial primary.

NONPARTI8AN Detroit's mayoralty is nonpartisan. Cavanagh is a Democrat in politics. Representatives of retiree groups from the city’s three auto plants readily support the low-cost housing proposal. The City Commission Monday proposed such housing for an unidentified site on downtown urban renewal land. 'The measure, sponsored by Clifford H. Lake, was approved 104-1. Daniel T.

EXPRESSED INTEREST He has expressed interest in the Senate race but reportedly also has been under pressure to consider running for governor against Republican George Romney. With the balk of congressional and legislative support plus significant union backing for Williams, there has been talk that Cavanagh’s forces are reevaluating the senatorial primary. Gov. Romney is favored to win a third term, though he hasn't officially said he’ll run. This sometimes results in a delay when the board of auditors requests a study by the planning department, Murphy said, because the study must first be approved by the commission. County Planning Director George N. Skrubb, as well as some members of the commission, have been advocating direct Jurbdiction by the board of auditors.

Slightly hurt moments before in an accident at Dixie Highway and Waterford Road in Independence Township, Danforth was being taken to Pontiac General Hospital. He also was a passenger in the earlier mishap. The driver of the ambulance, Robert L. Connely Jr., 20, of 7760 B i s c a y n e. White Lake Township, was treated and released from the hospital. Turmell and ambulance attendant Arlo Flescher, 34, of 4350 Monroe, Waterford Township, are listed in satisfactory condition by Pontiac General Hospital officials. According to State Police, the ambulance was traveling south on Telegraph and ’Turmell’s car west on Pontiac Lake Road when the crash occurred at about 5. H. G.

Wilkinson also favored the downtown location tentatively proposed for the senior citizen units. “There’ll be no problem in filling it,” commented Donald Johnson, president of Fisher Body Plant UAW Local 596. CLOSE TO FACIUTIES He said retirees wanted the Secondly, some residents question the wisdom of erecting further public housing. DIFFERENT APPROACH These critics of the housing proposal feel a different approach — duplex units or single units — ought to be tried. D'e I p i t e the reservations, there Is unanimous agreement that senior citizen housing of some variety be provided to fill the need, if there is one, although this is generally con- “it is regrettable that private enterprise, the builders and real estate brokers in the city w^ not given the opportunity tooe-come Involved in providing such low-cost housing ... which could have been done under federal programs.” Max Adams, manager of the Pontiac Area Chamber of Commerce, favored the proposed location for the housing units, but he was against duplication of housing like the city’s present public housing project. Howard Nelson, manager of the Pontiac Sears store said, “It (Continued on Page 2, Col. 3) certainly seems it would be an aid to senior citizens.” SIMILAR VIEW Charles M. ’Tucker Jr., pres-, idehf'-of the Oakland County Chapter of the National Association for the "Advancement of Ckilored People (WAA.CP), expressed a similar view. ‘ ‘ , Tucker said: “We all km>w' there is a need for housing for our elderly.

The creation of seven new administrative positions, one at the assistant superintendent level, was proposed last night to the Pontiac Board of Education by Supt. of Schools Dr. Dana P. Whitmer. Establshment of the new posts was included In presentation of a $12.9-million preliminary operating budget for the Pontiac public schools in 1966-67. The preliminary budget is $447,500 above the current budget. Whitmer said the increased budget for 1966-67 is projected on a hike in the school district’s tax base of about $13-milIion. No hike in property taxes would be necessary if the tax base increases as anticipated. Chiefly responsible for the rise, Whitmer said, are an anticipated enrollment increase of 203 pupils and proposed addition of the new administrative positions. REORGANIZA'nON Whitmer also outlined to board members a proposed reorganization of present central administration assignments. Most Important of the planned positions was that of business manager, whose responsibilities would include financial management for the school system as well as direction of purchasing and supplies. ’The position would be ranked with an assistant superintendent post. Other new posts would be a coordinator of school-community and human relations, supervisor of noninstructional personnel, coordinator of evaluation and (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1) Toppled by Army LAGOS, Nigeria (UPI) - ’Theident Kwame Nkrufnah while he downtown location, close churches, stores and other facilities, to eliminate problems of transportation.

Rnrr AdTirtUinl Dlre^r Public Housing Need Studied by City Hall - Amendment of a city ordinance to permit development of public housing for Pontiac’s senior citizens is worthy of deep consideration. The 11-year-old act that banned government-sponsored housing, after an original 400-unit project had been completed in the late ’40s, was passed because of strong"tont,ention in connection with two other proposals in the northerly sections of the City. • ★ ★ ★ But with the housing shortage in Pontiac now acute, compounded by the growing population of senior citizens of substandard income, the prohibition against Federal housing may have become outmoded. Although many communities have availed themselves of the benefits of government housing, the project in Dearborn stands out as a most laudable venture, and is being eyed by the Pontiac City Cbmmission with respect to local action on public housing now being studied. ★ ★ ★ The Press commends the City Fathers on their progressive attitude in the important area of adequate housing for our elderly.

Under negotiation is the engineers’ demand for an increase of 65 cents per hour (or 17.7 per cent), though it is reported that the union’s president subsequently tfpped it to 85. cents. ★ ★ ★ Settlement of this wage negotiation with its powerful patlonal ramifications gives Johnson a prime Opening to wielcTthe same restraining influence he exerted against the metal industries. His power rests in the vast amount of government construction affected by this issue which could be held up imtll settlement terms either squared with or were rolled back to meet the guidelines. "Thi President is back in the White House, arfd Washington is normal,” says a conunentator via radio. If the capital city is normal, it’s the first time. The death of John K. Irwin at 71 saddened a host of friends and professional associates. A native of Michigan, Mr. Irwin had engaged in the real estate business in Pontiac for 40 years and founded the firm of John K. Irwin and Sons. ★ ★ ★ He was active in many facets of business, civil and fraternal life and was a past president of Pontiac Board of Realtors and a former member of the County Board of Supervisors, Always an ardent supporter of community betterment, no call on his participation in any worthy cause went unanswered. A congenial personality made him a welcome member of any social gathering. ★ ★ ★ Mr. Irwin will be deeply missed by all privileged to know him. Tug of War Foreseen for LBJ ‘Guidelines’ Indications are that President Johnson’s guidelines for permissible rises in wage scales and basic commodity prices are guiding him to an imminent showdown. The guideline concept' is that wage and price hikes be held to the 3.2 per cent rate that government economists call noninflatlonary. The concept may have been sound, but tfi e Implementation of it hasn’t. While the Administration has effectively cracked down on the ■teel, aluminum and copper industries who sought' moderate price increases, it wa^ lookintr the other way when many labor contracts were negotiated whose wage increases exceeded the implied ceiling. ★ ★ ★ ’The President looked less than noble when he kept silent during the paralyzing transit strike in New York City but indicated disapproval after settlement of the 4 per cent-plus pay increase granted. WhUe it may be argued that to date the guideline has been stretched but little in favor of labor, there looms a tug that could snap it.

Among them: “He has made judges on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries.” Such was not to be in the new United States they were setting up. Once appointed by the President with the Senate’s consent, federal judges were to sit “during good behavior” — In effect, for life. ’They were to be removed only through impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate. So was the process laid out in the U S. Constitution, and so it has been to this day. Judges have been pressured to quit and some have taken the hint. But only four fedtfal judges have been removed from office, all after Impeachment. ESSENTIALI.Y INDEPENDENT The federal judiciary remains essentially Independent and there the matter would rest — except the problem of the occasional infirm, inept or senile judge won’t go away. Several states have experimented with easier removal methods and one, California, with apparently notable sne-cess. A special commission Investigates charges against judges and recommends to the State Supreme Court that they be removed. Now the experimenting has spread to the federal system. The appellate judges in the 10th Circuit are trying to nudge U.S. Dist. Judge Stephen S. Chandler from the bench by not letting him hear new cases. They are using as a vehicle a federal law that gave the Circuit Courts’ Judicial Councils the power to issue “orders for the effective and expeditious administration’’ of the District Courts. DECISION APPEALED Chandler, who is 65 and could have retired at full pay, is fighting back and has appealed to the Supreme Court. There the matter still hangs. Meanwhile, a Senate subcommittee headed by Sen. Joseph D. Tydings, D-Md„ has held hearings on ways to get rid of unfit jndges. “I suggest that we will' be at this Job for some time," ’Tydings said, ★ ★ * So will the American Bar Association, which opened a comprehensive study last August. 4 NEW PROCEDURES Off in the distance, if erfnugh Judges and congressmen become exercised about the problem, could be a law — or even a constitutional amendment — setting up new procedures for examining a judge’s fitness. But even if unintentional, could the result be a weakening of the judiciary’s independence? Could-Ibis amount to throwing out the bpby with the bath?
