day advocated a postwar reorgan-

abandonment OF wage and price

Addressing the eleventh nation

tie Secretary also warned labor
commissioners and union delegates
from ~ states that the authority
OF the federal government will be
expended unless the states enact
decent labor laws and vigorously
enforce them.
A reorganization Of the Labor De-

and CLIO. President Roosevelt is
said TO be ready to replace Miss
Perkins when the two big labor
groups agree on her success6r.

Warner Sees
Two Changes

Representative Joseph Warner ~
the second district OF Washtenaw
believes that two major changes
must be made in state and local
governments In the near future.
b The first change calls for a re.
apportionment OF representatives.
Under the present constitutional
regulations. two counties could al
most control the state as Wayne
County would have forty.three rep
resentatiyes, and Oakland would
have seven. One other vote would
be all they would need in the house
The reapportionment two years ago
gave wayne County twenty.seNen
members in the house. but the con.
stitution was not amended to make
the action legally perfect. Another
point Mr.. Warner stresses is that
all Representatives should be elect
ed from their own district. Under
the present set up in Detroit, TWEEN
tyone legislators are elected at
large.
The second improvement Mr..
Warner and other members OF the
house ways and means committee
believe necessary is sharp reduc-
ton in local real estate taxes. To
supplement- the loss in these taxes,
Mr.. Warner advocates a return, 10
the local governments, OF part OF
the state sales tax. This plan, Mr..
Warner believes, would stimulate
small home owners, and tend to
bring them into the cities. The ex-
pense OF government is going up
he points out, and real estate can
not be expected to carry the entire
burden.

Carver Group
Ask Building
on Own Land

Members Of the Carver Commun-
ity Center and other interested
residents met at the center on Har-
riet street Monday evening for con-
tinued discussion of the location
OF a proposed new center. One 10
cation suggested is Armstrong
Court. which is government con-
trolled. The other is few hun
dred feet north, on land recently
purchased by the Carver group, In
the 400 block OF First avenue.
Reasons indicated during the
meeting for favoring the Carver
location on First avenue pertained
to the proposal that the new build
ing should be bi-racial, open TO all
people and that location was more
central than the one farther south.
From the city standpoint the arg
ument for location on government
controlled property seems to be
based primarily on the question OF
maintenance. Since money for the
building is to be supplied from Lam
ham funds, it has been held that
location on government controlled
property would be logical.
There is also TO be a question OF
management, the city position be
ing that city financial support is
likely to he necessary for time
at least and the city should there
fore have a voice in management.
While Carver directors express
ed agreement on the First avenue
site, there appeared today to be a
question in some quarters as to
whether a determined stand should
be taken for location on Carver
owned property at the possible
risk OF no building. or whether the
building should have first consid-
Grafton regardless of location. For
immediate benefit of young people,
some residents contend the most
important consideration should be
