County Would
Gain One Seat
in Legislature

LANSING, March 10 (R-
Two separate bills calling for re-
apportionment of seats in the
House of Representatives and
Senate to give populous counties
representation more nearly
commensurate with their popu-
lation reach the floor of both
chambers today, released from
committee in an eleventh hour
effort to achieve a compromise.
One bill proposes that Wayne
county's House membership be
increased from FL to 81 and Oak
land county's from two to five,
the biggest increases. 1t marks a
compromise from Wayne's de-
mands for % to 80 seats, and
outstate efforts to limit to IS.
AS released from committee
the bill would leave Kent coun-
ty unchanged at five seats in
the House; give Genesee four, an
increase of one; increase Ing
ham from two to three, and Ma
comb and Washtenaw from one
each to two each. Bay and st.
Clair counties would be cut
from two members each to one
each.
Other reductions would be
accomplished by rearranging
multiple county representative
district boundary lines, leaving
the total number of seats in the
House unchanged at 100.
Saginaw would retain three
seats, and Muskegon, Kalama-
zoo, Calhoun, jackson and Ber-
rien two each.
The Upper Peninsula would
have eight representatives, in
stead of its present 10.
Following are the Upper Pen
insula representative districts
the bill would establish, each
with one member:
-Houghton; Onton-
agon-Gogebic; Baraga-Iron; Mar.
quette; Dickinson Menominee;
Delta; Alger-Schoolcraft-L Luce
Mackinac; Chippewa.
Other one-member districts in
the Lower Peninsula would be
as follows:
Emmett Cheboygan; Presque
Isle-Montmorency-O scoda- Craw-
ford Otsego Roscommon; AL
pena-Alcona-Iosco; Charlevoix-
Leelanau-Benzie; Grand Trav-
erse-Antrim; tee-Wexford;
Kalkaska Missaukee Osceola;
Clare-Isabella; Gladwin Ogem-
aw-Arenac.
Mason-Lake- Mecosta; Oceana-
Newaygo; Midland; Huron; San
lilac; Tuscola; Lapeer, Gratiot;
Clinton; Montcalm; Ionia; Otta-
wa; Allegan; Barry-Eaton; Van
Buren,; st. Joseph-Cass; Branch.
Hillsdale; Lenawee; Monroe;
Shiawassee-Livingston.
The Senate had before it the
proposal of Senator Otto w.
Bishop, Alpena Republican, to
enlarge the Senate from 80 to 35
seats, giving Wayne county two
more than its present seven seats
and Oakland county the extra
member. Bishop said its prin-
cipal virtue was that it required
no reductions in senatorial dis
tricts as they now stand.

WHY Not Stand Pat2

IT'S MANY day since people of Michigan have wit
/ messed as unbushng exhibition of official hedging
and stag and buckpassng has tainted consideration
OF the war time controversy.
Michigan decided to chuck it but only after the legs-
lators had given voice to lot of sneakng and childish
excuses and even then they lacked sufficient go
whole-hog on the matter. They yelled their heads off
that the old slow time really would help production
and promptly contradctcd themselves by saying it would
be all right for Detroit (he main hub Of producton)
TO retain time.
This concession offered the Detroit city council
perfect rebutta However instead of replying very well
that's what they intend to do, councimen hemmed
and hawed and finally yesterday took the wshy-washy
stand that they would let the citizens of Detroit vote
whether they prefer stay step with the rest of the
nation abandon war time
THERE is nothing wrong with election except that
it seems unnecessary and the people of Detroit have
not evinced any camorous desire for It. Furthermore
they are being saddled with the responsibility, the
assumption of which is not their duty.
They being put in unfair spot by the spneess-
of their councmen and the shrewdness of outstate
legislators If they vote TO stay time and con-
fusion results will with Detroit time and the
rest of the state another, they will be accused of
fomenng the confusion while outsate legislators who
actually started the whole will escape the blame.
Detroit didn't chose time in the first place We
accepted because the national government urged
us a definitely important war measure.
Why can't councimen stand pat on that PROPOSE
ton and let the state do it pleases?

Seek Senate Advice

THE Presidents withdrawal of the nomination of Ed
ward j. Flynn minister to Australia we'll
advised
The nomination would probably have been denied
confirmation by the United States Senate.
1t certainly would have aroused bitter controversy
in the Senate-and in fact has already done so.
So the only thing that would have been accomplished
by forcing the issue to vote would have been the defeat
of Mr. Flynn and the reputation of the President
OBVIOUSLY the appointment a mistake, and was
~ both unfortunate and unwse.
Mr. Flynn had few of the qualifications essential to
a in the diplomatic service
He had no experience in the field of international
relations familiarity with the vital region to which he
had been assigned and temperamenay untitled
for the tasks involved.
Moreover, he had political background which made
him Objectionable and unacceptable to the Senate and
to the people whom the members of the Senate represent
THE President made this appointment without antici-
pating objection and rejection, he simply made mis-
take ne made the appointment in defiance of certain
objection and probable rejection he is open censure
The President should have regard for the con-
sttuhona provision which merely requires that his
diplomatic appointments have the consent of the Senate
but that they be made with the ADVICE Of the Senate

March Of Events
BY BENJAMIN DeCasseres

A FTER all, the greatest crea-
"A ton of the American people
is the eleventh commandment"
which is mind your own bust
ness"
That, folks, is the essence Of
our Constitution.
1t is the core of the concept
of individualistic democracy.
1t is the kernel of for what
we fight.
The reactionary New Deal has
been trying to ch ange our
national motto to Your Bust
ness is the Governments Busi-
ness"
Representative Summers of
Texas put it more vigorously
when he said recently:
"This idea of having somebody
from Washington telling an indi-
vidual how TO go about his own
business looks too much like the
the bug that bit Hitler"
There is only one domestic war
issue today, in fact.
It Is, should the individual be
permitted after the war to mind
his own business and conduct it
as he sees fit, or shall he allow
vast pack of bureaucratic COM
missars in Washington and in
the state capitals TO mind it and
conduct it for him?
WHEN a man has lived In
w Soviet Russia for a number
of years, he either comes out of
it a 100 per cent enemy of COM
munism, like Eugene Lyons and
Max Eastman, or he comes out
of it a ballyhooer for the Soviet
system. In the latter may be
claSsed Albert Rhys Williams,
whose book, "T'he Russians"
(Harcourt Brace), tells us about
the Russian people and why
they fight.
The book is specious, and as
to facts" well, facts are gen.

anything you wish to find.
What the Communists have
done for the Russian people is
precisely what many sympathetic
writer's will tell you Hitler has
done for Germany or slavery
did for the Negro in the South
or how Mussolini ''regenerated"
the Italian people. 1t all de-
ponds, you see, on the way you
are originally biased.
For instance, Mr.. Williams
goes into a thick lather over
the way the Russians are de-
Tending themselves against Ger
many.
He ascribeS II 10 the "intangi-
bic" thing called social
vision"
Well, then, what made the
Russians (under the cZarS) also
fight like demons against
Charles the Twelfth, Napoleon
and the armies of Hindenburgh?
Social vision ?"

Wardens on the Job

N ETROIT'S first daylight alert off yesterday
- with gratifying smoothness and precision. The
people generally behaved well though they had been
in constant rehearsal.
The performance of Detroits air raid wardens was
especially conimendable. Unobtrusively but promptly
they got into action. They evnced hesitation, no un
certainty to their duties and powers And they went
at those duties efficiently and without bombast.
Air raid wardens have fairly thankess chores. They
burdened with the dirty work of civilian defense.
They get plauds, spotlight of public admiration or
attention
OST of them busy persons at their affairs
lVl and few in the envabe position of being able
to delegate their personal tasks to subordinates.
Their air raid jobs simply additional, voluntary
unpaid work added to their daily stint.
Their efficient demonstration yesterday was respon
sbe for the of the daylight alert and proved
how long and arduously they have been training They
anonymous workers with reward in prospect
beyond the inner satisfaction of knowing that their
drudgery essential factor in the protection of their
city.
Let us thank God for them and their modest
patriotism.

they made In the Axis lines when
they raised the siege.
They control the railroad rum
ming into the city but succeeded
in occupying only a small patch
of territory.
About three weeks ago the
Red army drive slowed
down. then gathered strength to
go on 10 unexpected victories.
Stain may have enough left to
muster relentless pressure again.
Then, too, these drives must
pause once in a while to mend
ads, repair airfelds,
bridges and roads and re-estab-
lish communications TO supply
bases in the rear.
Final humiliation of the Ger
man army in front of Stalingrad
will help the Red army immeas-
urably. The lost Nazi army
there, at the edge of the city,
lay astride an important rail-
road line and thus had denied
the Russians a main artery of
supplies for their drive.
GEN Err AL MacARTHUR'S
" plan for an air conquest of
the Pacific. airport by airport

brought no noticeable reaction
in Washington-which is only to
be expected.
If ne is to get the planes for
sucf dn attack, The decision
would not be advertised. The
same silence would envelop a
contrary decision.
Many military observers do
not understand precisely what

If he means only that he

Japanese bases into rotten-ripe-
ness for seaborne invasion, he
will certainly have them.
But if he wants enough to
conquer airfeld, by airfield back

he may have to do some selling
here.

Turks Help
Sure TO Come
But Not Now
Move by Churchill Pins
Maj Balkan Army
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-The
w surprise Churchill visit TO
Turkey has inspired some hope
that Ankara will Immediately
fling her army in on our side
and attack the Axis forces in
Bulgaria and Greece.
We coulS furnish the planes
and also formidable forces now
in Syria and Trans-Jordan.
Eventual fulfillment of this
delightful prospect is certain,
but how soon it will come is
something for Hitler TO guess.
If it were imminent, Churchill
might not have gone TO Turkey
and brought the international
spotlight that always follows
him.
THE Turks have been friendly
with our cause. especially
since the recent accumulation of
Russian victories, but they are
still trading with Hitler, furnish
ing nickel and some other war
materials.
They can do many [ in gs
short of war, and these were no
doubt the most immediate SUBJ
jects of the Churchill talks.
Hitler, now running around
Europe trying to plug rat-holeS
charging before him on all sides,
has recently augmented the size
of his forces in Greece and Ru-
mania as a necessary precaution
against Turkey.
The Churchill visit should at
least pin these forces there per-
manently and call for more if
Hitler has them
When we first went into
Africa, Hitler concentrated
planes in Crete, threatening in
vasion of the Near East. but his
forces on that ground are not
now sufficient to warrant any
fears on our part.
MARSHAL ROMMEL has been
1'A brandishing armor on the
Mareth line as il he intended TO
hold it at all costs.
Do not let yourself be sur
prised if he withdraws, as he did
from his last three defensive
positions, and seeks S h G r
closer to the larger Nazi forces
in North Tunisia.
Rommel probably has only
about $4,000 troops left, two
thirds of the strength generally
attributed to him.
The North Tunisia Nazis had
$4,000 unit this week, when
Hitler started air-ferrying re-
Inducements in fast.
These two Nazi African
armies are probably not strong
enough to maintain the long line
gilmore than 200 miles from
Bizerte to Mareth.
Furthermore, as long as Rom
mel is in the Mareth line, his
rear is exposed to a drive by our
armies, which would cut him off
completely from his northward
line Of supplies and cause him to
be surrounded in the desert.
He may therefore withdraw
from the Little Maginot" posi-
ton and tinue his flight
northward to establish defen-
sive position near SfaX or even
closer to TuniS.
The confused Tunisian situa-
tion is therefore not considered
so dangerous for us as some may
have thought.
The maps suggest our south
ern flank is hanging in the air
in the desert. exposed to attack
by Rommel, but his weary army
is hardly fit for such an opera
ton now. -----------------
