Local Regimes
To Get Stronger
Voice in Defense
Kelly Wants New Setup
TO Give Capt. Leonard
Big Emergency Powers
Times stan Correspondent

LANSING, Feb. 2.-Revision OF
the states civilian defense organi-
zation, giving local governmental
units a stronger voice. was asked
today by Gov. Harry F. Kelly.
A completely new law which
would give Defense Administrator
Capt. Donald S. Leonard execu-
tive powers to act in any emer-
gency has been drafted and is
ready for submission to the legis-
lature.
FOR EMERGENCY
''Tor the time being, Mfchi-
gan could operate more or less
effectively under martial law il
II should become necessary"
the governor said. "But the new
program is designed to supplant
this In case OF an emergency"
As outlined by Captain Leonard,
the state organization would be
streamlined, with the governor at
the top and fanked by the defense
administrator. adjutant general
and state police commissioner.
The present 11-member defense
council would be retained in an
ex-officio capacity. It's personnel
would also remain unchanged, the
governor indicated.
LOCAL SETUP
County defense councils would
be changed completely 10 answer
complaints. Local authorities have
no voice in the present organiza-
ton. Under the plan, they would
automatically include the chair
man of the board of supervisors,
the sheriff and prosecutor.
City councils would be composed
Of the mayor, as chairman, the
fire and police chiefs.
Kelly's legislative progra
would also place the defense ad-
ministrator on salary, permit him
to make rules governing all de-
Tense problems, provide for inter-
change of protective services and
equipment between stricken areas,
and grant legal status to volunteer
defense workers.
Captain Leonard said his pro-
gram will include the abandon
ment OF the large emergency 'E'
now used on cars and trucks
which must be on the streets
during blackouts.

CUT OVERTIME LOAD

"This would lessen materially
the overtime load under which
some of our city departments
are struggling"
CORPORATION Counsel Paul F.
Krause was reluctant to give an
immediate opinion.
= I'll have to look up some
law on II first," Krause said, hut
offhand I'd say It's more a ques-
ton Of Interpretation than Of
legality, and common council
will have 10 do the interpreting.
INCLUDE LUNCH TIME
y "Many places In private IN
, tiustry include the 15-minute or
haIf-hour lunch hour In the
eight-hour day. IL will probably
I, be up to common council TO
decide whether the seven hours
city employees worked and the
hour they spent at lunch con-
stituted an eight-hour day"
Since the city ordnance limiting
salaried employees TO so hours over
time q year was adopted. city
office employees work straight
eight-hour day and take a half
hour for lunch on their own time.
In the matter Of city employees
working in private industry while
taking compensatory time off from
city jobs, Oakman said he still
awaited legal opinion from
KrauSe before taking the matter
before common council.
Orally. krause has repeatedly
commended the practice Is illegal.

176 ADULT CASES

The letter revealed that there
are l76 adult mental cases in
private hospitals and as children
in convalescent hospitals.
Inability to care for these cases
at Eloise is owing TO the fact that
while there are many vacant beds
in that institution. they are scat
tered and unavailable for mental
cases because they would have TO
be mixed with other patients.
At present there are 752 cases
at Eloise.

Long Campaign, Forecast
For Seuenth Air Force

WITH THE SEVENTH ARMY
AIR FORCE, Southwest Pacific,
Nov. 21.-(Delayed) Up - Maj.
Gen. Willis H. Hale. commanding
the Seventh Army Air Force, pre-
olcted today the bombers of his
command soon will begin long
campaign involving the most diff
1lcult flying in the world.
Today's Army, Navy and Ma
rlne attacks on Maxim and Tara
wa in the Gilberts, make such an
imminent campaign-during the
american advance along the Mar
shall Island chain and through
other tiny central Pacific islands
obvious.
Hale pointed out that heavy
bombers already have made in
the last ten days a series of the
worlds longest bombing raids,
hitting seven islands in the Gil.
berts and Marshalls preparatory
to troop landings.
These Liberators flew repeated
ly on raids of 1900 to 2400 miles,
all over water. Some flew 5000
miles in a week. hitting minute
islands as targets and returning
to bases equally minute. The Jap
anese failed to shoot down any
planes over the targets.
1.-The purpose of these raids and
coming actions" Hale said, sis
to harass back of the japanese
lines. We fly over his frontal is
lands, attack bases from which
supplies and reinforcements can
be flown to beleagured garrisons.
"Our continued purpose will be
to hit farther and farther back as
our own land forces advance.
This involves unbelievably long
raids and operating conditions not
comparable to those anywhere
else. If our navigators fail to get
their ships back to their intended
base, they have nowhere else to
go except into the sea-"
Hale also said the Central Pa
cific islands care ideally suited

stepping stones and thus to afford
the enemy extreme mobility.
Months or even years ago, he
said, Jap ground crews, fuel stores
and repair facilities were secret

now the Japanese have only to
shift actual airplanes and combat
crews to begin operations at a new
place, whereas Americans going
to the new islands have the entire
burden of logistics.
On the pleasant side of the pic
ture, Gen. Hale underscored the
fact that the Japanese have SO
far taken practically no toll OF
American airplanes and he pre-.
dicted an extremely fast pace fo1
subsequent actions, keeping the
enemy "constantly on the defen
sive," and eventually opening sc
direct channel across the Pacific
to Japan"
