Detroit's election campaign
enters its final week without a
stir of excitement, other than the
iusty voices of politicians resound-
ing through empty halls.
A relatively large vote is ex-
pected a week from Tuesday, how
ever, because of public awakening
TO the responsibilities of citizenship
under a democracy. Registration
is at a new peak for a municipal
election.
There are no broad issues, no
fierce battles to arouse the
electorate. Mayor Edward j.
Jeffries Jr. and his opponent,
Recorders Judge Joseph A. ellis,
are making several speeches each
evening, but seldom are they able
to round up more than 20 or SO
voters at time.
And most of these are not
political gatherings at all. They
are meetings such as the annual
election of fraternity.
Promises Galore
Just as the chairman is about
to close the nominations for the
office of recording secretary. in
pops Jeffries or ellis, or one of
the nominees for Common Coun-
Gil, and the members sit back to

Frank Cohen, Empire treasurer,
and the directing genius behind
Empire and its afflliates, who spent
the greater part of the day on the
stand yesterday, denied that any ar
rangement of the sort had been
made with Mr.. West. He told of re-
puted loans to the former House
member aggregating $4,000. and later
said that disbursements to Mr.. West
had aggregated $1,000. including
the salary of the latter to represent
Empire here from February to May
or June of this year.
Explaining five checks totalling
$500 cashed by Mr.. West, the
witness insisted that they were not

sented advances that had been made

r acts About Planes
lJune9u Empire)


 To be successful, the defense effort must enlist the enthusiastic cooperation of the whole coua- try. Il cannot do this if thz pub lie is kept too much in the dark to know how the program is pro gressing. It must know in a broad way what has been done, what re mains to be done, in what diree- tions we are ahead of schedule, in what directions we are ST. iously tagging. The public should know everything about the de- fense program, in short, that IS not properly a military secret
 The Administration has still to follow policy of adequate public ity. or even a consistent policy. Take once more, as an example. the production of airplanes, in which there is more popular in terest than in any other item. The OPM now announces tha5 plane manufacturers delivered 972 completed units during Feb ruary to thu Army Navy, Great Britain. other Governments and commercial airlines. This compar es with figure of l,036 planes put out for January and 799 planes for December.
 But how is the public ts inter pret these figures or to make com parisons? How many of tn plan es delivered in February Wer2 for commercial airlines? Should not this figure be stated separa,e- ly from that of military planes? If the figure given out for Janu ary and Dec mber also includ- ed commercial transport deliver ies, the fact was not previously | made clear. We have been told that so percent of the Decem- brr and January figures repre- sented troining and the rest com bat planes. Apparently this rati, still obtains, but it has not been made clear whether it does or not 1
 It might be revealing too much information to the Germans to break down th- monthly a.rplant production figures into tne exact number of medium and heavy bombers, fighters, and so on. But at least the production of train ing and combat planes could be presented as separate figures. Wh.n five or six training planes can be built for the cost of one pursuit plane, and 20 for the cost of one heavy bomberit is close to meaningless to lump all these types in the same total.
