NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-The Re-

seats for certain today, including
that of Nebraska's Independent

trend in other states indicated
that their gains might total at

Detroit I 10 |
Vote Puts in
Home Rule
No. | Amendment
Also Wins, But
No. 3 Faces Defeat

Victory for the Wayne County
Home Rule amendment calling for
widespread reforms in local county
government appeared likely today
as late returns from Detroit pre-
cincts poured in.
Detroiters gave the proposal a
near two to one majority, off
setting the smaller NO" vote lead
outstate. AS a result, citizens of
Wayne County will be permitted
to draft new charter. generally
streamlining governmental ma
chinery.
Useless offices will be eliminated
and a system of civil service will
be set up for county employees.
Instead of 173 persons running
Wayne County. there will be a
supervisory board of not more
than 81 persons.
An even larger majority was
given to proposal No. ! by Wayne
County voters, while proposal No.
3 apparently was doomed to defeat.
A victory for No. 1 will allow a
state convention to be called to
revise the states 1909 model con-
stitution. Numerous changes have
already been suggested by the
governor study commission, in
Guiding making the term of gov
ernor four instead of two years.
Proposal No. 3, which called for
the ratification of the 1941 Leg
islature's milk price-fixing law,
was headed for defeat from the
start. Outstate precincts as well
as those in Detroit were nearly
unanimous in defeating this pro-
posal.
If adopted. a board would have
been set up in Lansing with pow
ers TO set prices of milk paid to
farmers and consumers.
