CLEVELAND, August 17.-Clevelan0
will decide for the third time In as
many years at special election next
Tuesday whether it will continue the
. city manager form of government
which it adopted in 1921, the first time
the plan was attempted In the country
by large city.
A feverish campaign neared the final
stages tonight as proponents of the
present form of government and those
who wish to amend the city charter to
substitute the old ward and mayoralty
plan alike claimed victory.
Both sides agreed that the vote will
total around $4,000.
The charter amendment was placed
on the ballot as the result of circula-
ton of petitions by Harry l.. Davis,
former mayor and governor of Ohio;
Attorney Saul S. Danaceau and Ed
ward T. Downer. 1t was Davis third
attempt to overthrow the city manager
plan, having lost in the last two sue
ceSsive years by close margins.
The battle has drawn sharp lines be-
) tween many of the city'S political and
civic leaders. The charter amendment
campaignerS have pointed to recent city
land purchase scandals and charged
squandering of public funds under the
present administration forces. Allied
with Davis is Maurice MaSchke, Re-
, publican national committeeman.
On the other hand, many of the
/, city'S prominent civic leaders have
taken strong stands against what they
termed would be a return to machine"
. political rule and take representation
, from thousands Of voters.

Asa Reyes Thinks Prosecutors Need
 Jail Experiences

LOS ANGELES, April 3.-"Every public prosecutor should spend a month in jail before he takes of flee just to get rid of the notion held by most people that convicts are different from ordinary hu- mans" Asa Reyes, former district attorney of Los Angeles, said in an interview in his jail cell.
 Before I came here as prisoa- CT under conviction" he said, T shared the views of the great ma jority and looked upon all crim!- nals as members of a distinct class almost as a distinct race of be- ings.
 I've found that's all wrong. I've come to learn that men in jail are just like other human beings I've learned that the men in tank 10-B- 2, where I'm staying, are genuine ly interesting and decent human companions.
 Reyes has appealed from his con- viction on charges of conspiracy to give and receive bribes during his prosecution of the Julian Petroleum Corporation collapse trial. He is under sentence of from one to four teen years in San Quentin.
