Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-03-21
MEETING MONDAY

Common Council set in motion
the machinery for the removal of
Councilmen John M. Hamilton and
Robert Ewald, although Ewald. a
patient at the Alexander Blain
Hospital has not yet been notified
of the charges against him.
A meeting of the housing COM
mission has been called for Monday
morning at which Edwards will
present one or more plans for con-
tinuing the work on the project.
In the meantime he will consult
with federal officials in Washing
ton for advice.
Members of the council paid a
little courtesy to Ewald yesterday
when they included him in the
drawing of lots for appointments
which each member will receive
to the Wayne County Board of
Supervisors. Councilman Hamilton
was not included. The drawing is
made because there are an odd
number of appointments.

Court of Michigan has since up
held that view.
Il only withdrew my opposi-
tion when the late James Muir
fin. gas company attorney, told
me my opposition would pre-
vent natural gas from coming to
Detroit.
II am going 10 tell the full
story at the next town meeting
and also about the $500. 900 that
was spent by the gas company
TO put IL aero: as discovered
by the grand jury investigation"
At this point Henry A. Mont
gomery, gas company attorney,
jumped to his feet and attempted
TO stop Lee.
TRIES TO STOP HIM
Judge James Murfn is dead
and is not able TO be here and
defend himself against these
statements" Montgo merry
shouted.
II am not responsible for the
fact that Judge Murfin is dead"
Lee replied.
Federal Judge Frank a. Picard,
he town meeting referee, !"
banged his gavel in an attempt to
luiet the dispute.
He said he was threatened
by Judge Murfin into approving
natural gas" Montgomery con-
tinued Indignantly.
"You will learn some things
you didn't know about this be-
fore you get through, Mr., Mont
gomery," Lee retorted.
Lee opened the town meeting
~ asking the friends of the NUM-
,ipal ownership proposal not to
allow the recent bribery indict-
nentS of two councilmen TO alter
heir views on the gas issue.
Lee reminded his listeners that
[ would be no more fair for the
,as company to raise the issue of
he councilmanic scandal than il
would be for the city to discuss
he troubles of public utility Off
,ials who have been indicted.

,on of Chicago, the president of

Thompson declared that mum.

here might save as much as 90
millions of dollars over a period
Of 30 years through reduction of

Natural gas is a number one
fuel for national defense indus
tries and for your country's sake
as well as for the sake of your
own pocket books you owe ii to
yourselves to vote for this NUM-

SELECTED BY BUILDERS

The bonding firms were selected
by the Smith-Lipman company
and the completed list was APP
proved by the Detroit Housing
Commission without any changes.
In his confession. Councilman
John Hamilton told of an argu-
ment between William Lipman of
the Lipman construction firm and
5. Brooks Barron, an attorney for
the concrete interests, who is said
TO have participated in the Ham,
ilton bride, over a bonding deal.
Barron accused Lipman Of
double crossing him on the
bonding deal" Hamilton said
Barron said they had agreed to
give him the insurance and
bonding business, which would
amount to $4,000 or $4,000 in
fees"
Hamilton testified, however. that
Barron did not get the business
because the contractors were
forced TO make other arrange
ments for the bond"

As speakers from outside the inc dustry lauded the work of the or- ganization, speakers from within the industry asserted their determi- nation to engage in self-policing to, wipe out any evils that now exist.
 "We're not trying to be in the cate. gory of reformers," said Harmon A. Genlot, executive secretary and pub- lie relations director, "but we are not going to stand for q very small minority of permittees affecting the fortunes of ell of us by repeated violations. This campaign is not something decided on the spur of the moment; 1t Is a campaign that has been carefully worked out and carefully planned. None of us in the industry wants the violator, the permittee who, sells after hours, who sells to minors: nor do we want the tavern that sells liquor or the restaurant-beer permittee who sells liquor. They'd all better take heed; we mean business"
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach praised the organi5ation's cleanup campaign. WaterbuEy's violations, he said, have been re- markedly few, yet the police will be only too willing to cooperate In any drive to force violators out of business.
 "The man obeying the law will last longest in business" said Super. intendent Roach. "So you're only working for your own benefit when you point out violators. Don't get behind the eight-ball."
 Simeon Nichols, chief inspector for the state liquor commission, de. clared that i've get 100 per cent cooperation from the Board of Trade. All outlets should be smart enough to follow the advice of your leaders; none of you want dives competing against you"
 He said that MT. 0enlot's efforts to cooperate with the liquor corn- mission on behalf of the organisa. ton had been fully appreciated.
 John Largay, secretary of the Con- necticut Brewers Association, an- nounced that his group was ready and willing to lend c hand.
 Harold H. Henneberry, of the U. s. government alcohol tax unit for this state, said that he wanted to acknowledge the cooperation of the organization. He warned against the substitution of liquor in tax-pal6 bottles.
 pr. Edward J. Godfrey, speaking on the health aspects of the retail. ers' problems, said that he had found holders of full restaurant permits ready at all times to com. ply with the letter of the law.
 Other speakers were Patsy Brown, local president of the Board of Trade, William J. Sullivan, we'll known restaurant operator: and Raymond J. Fitzpatrick of the Democrat.

Education Held Best Means

der cover OF freedom and democra
cy. In truth. its subjects are led to
believe tLey are making a free
choice. whereas they are actually
being led around by the nose. The
notion is spreading that only few
people know the right thing TO do,
that most people must be shown the
way. Even intelligent leaders feel
this way and it is real threat to
our future. In a democracy we
should all be free TO share our ideas
and expressions.
Definitions try to distinguish be
tween good and bad propaganda,
said Prof Maurer. But this cannot
be done. for authortarianism Is
anti-democratic whether used for
good or bad purposes. And too. you
cannot distinguish Between the good
and bad since evaluation1 differ
with individual concepts. The pro
paganda problem cannot he solved
by calling propagandists liars Many
are very sincere in feeling that they
alone have the truth. But as John
Dewey says, 'Propagandists share
the intellectual confusion and ig.
norance which they propagate.
Mr.. Maurer then mentioned the
attitudes and traits OF citizens
which make them susceptible TO
coercion or propaganda; first, pro-
yincialism. bisotry and intolerance;
second. resistance TO change. that
is. looking upon any new way with
suspicion; and third. the unoon-
scious dualism by which one oper-
ates- that IS. the ability TO preach
one thing and act another.
We are going through an age of
wishful thinking" said the speaker.

Mexico Subject. For
Congregational Men

Before a large attendance at the
Mems Dinner Wednesday night in
the Congregational Church. Dr.
Harry Z. Hoy spoke on the topic,
Mexico, Land of Mystery
The speaker told OF the splendid
paved roads on the main highways
Of the country. In the hinterland,
however, are trails where cars are
unable to travel. He said that MeXi-
co City is located in an old lake
bog. Discussing the people he noted
that about 2 per cent of them might
be classed as pure white; about 80
per cent as pure Indian, and the
remainder mixture OF Spanish and
Indian. There is no powerful middle
class. The great bulk OF the people
are extremely poor and the few
wealthy people are connected with
politics, he said. Most of the ma
tiYes are peon farmers producing
not much more than enough TO eat.
Under the rule of President Diaz,
foreigners made large investments
in Mexico. There is now more hope
for the future Of tie people since
there is a compulsory system of edu-
cation There is a mixed attitude OF
Mexicans toward Americans, com
posed OF fear and respect, DR.. Hoy
stated.
The next dinner OF the men OF
the church will be father and son

event is composed OF James Bell.
