AT THE LEAGUE OF Women

AT THE LEAGUE OF Women
Voters business meeting held
Tuesday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. c. H. Malbin, Belleview
avenue, a petition for Wayne
County Home Rule was signed
by the IA Board members pre-
sent.
This petition asks that Wayne
County have the right to deter
mine its own form of govern
ment. The present Home Rule
movement although limited only
to Wayne County required the
vote of all the people in the
state. The proposed change will
give Wayne County its own ex-
ecutive head. Its present gov
eminent is not democratic. Of
ficials spend $4,000, 900 of tax
money each year, and the peo-
pie have no voice in the matter.
This is taxation without repre-
sentation. Home Rule is demo-
cratic, as it permits the people
to choose their own form of
government.

In outlining concise program

There is on every council at least

AVIATION FARLEY
HOLDS REHEARSAL

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-LR-The IN
ternational civil aviation confer
ence went through rehearsal o.
convention mechanics today while
early arriving delegates and 9th
ers attracted to the meeting st-ug
gled with finding accommodations
A staff of nearly 200, principally
concerned with the technical phase
of the conference, worked on the
machinery for the three week meet
ing. More than so nations will lay
out a pattern for the civil air por-
ton of the peace conference and
establish an interim operations or
sanization to serve aviation trans
port demands during reconstruc-
ton.
The largest delegation among the
early arrivals was the Canadians
getting set for a fight to empower
an international air authority with
broad economic controls. Other
British Empire nations have made
It clear that they will support that
stand, along with some OF the
smaller countries.
The question of what might be
the effect of the last-minute Rus
sian withdrawal continued to be
the first one asked by every new
arrival, and the answer remained,
among the technicians here, that
It should have no visible effect.
The Russians may have unoffl-
cial observers to keep informed it
they eventually join the other ma
lions in an air transport agree
ment. An American official said
the withdrawal would not preju-
dice later participation by the
Russians, who are known to feel
that for the time being their ma
jor objective is to gather informa-
ton.
The United States delegation will
ask for as much of an open policy
with regard to the press as posi-
able, an official said. While meet
ings are expected to be closed,
there appeared to be likelihood
of daily press conferences fo1 the
newspaper and radio writers and
opportunity to question the top per-
sonalities in important discussions
as each major problem comes to
the fore.
A side struggle between the Brit
ish and United States aircraft man
ufacturing industries appeared to
have developed in advance of the
welcoming address by Adolf A.
Berle, Jr., chief Of the American
delegation and temporary presi-
dent of the conference, which will
open the meeting tomorrow after
noon.
Dozens of representatives OF air
plane designers and builders were
in evidence, all operating without
an official place in the convention
except for one adviser. Great Brit
ain was reported to have requested
permission to establish a sales Of
flee not far from the conference
headquarters in the Stevens hotel.
That step may have played part
in the State departments decision
10 days ago not to have an "educa-
tionaI'' display of American air
transportation.
Nonetheless, any visitor from
overseas interested in learning
about United States planes will
have no difficulty in getting infor-
nation.
