spite lack OF approval OF general
obligation bonds by the state Sc
curities commission. It was decid-
ed Tuesday night that the city at.

These bonds would be a first OBJ

state securities commission would
be required TO pass on them only

Objection TO the obligation bonds
was based on lack OF SPECIFIC ap-

The opinion pointed out that
while restrictions placed on real

Michigan Supreme Court rule. that
occupancy restrictions have been
held universally in supreme court
decisions to be valid. The court
cited the cases OF Schultz VS..

was Parmalee VS.. Morris, 21S Mich

Wilson, however, indicated salts

The plant is on the beam" he
told reporters. and we're truly
surprised at the fine progress that
is being made there at this time
and the prospects OF substantial in
creased production.

ing month by month" lie flew
back TO Washington last night after
having come here for day solely
for the purpose OF checking on

The Bomber Plants current pro-
duction continues as a military sec
ret. In that connection Charles
F.. Sorensen, vice president OF the
Ford Motor Company, expressed
wish that the figures might be
revealed for the public's benefit.
II hope the true picture OF pro-
duction can be revealed shortly
in order that the public might know
of the progress that is being made
there" Sorensen said. I'D he
