City Council Turns
Down OPA Ordinance

councils attention to the fact
that numbers were important In
the enactment of laws for the
benefit of the majority of the
citizens of Toledo.
He said that the only protec-
ton the workers had against in
flated prices was an effective
OPA, and cited the fact that con-
gress had weakened this govern
mental agency by severely cut
ting down its budget. Pecord said
that the workers had their wages
frozen under the little steel for
mula, limiting them to Is per
cent increases, yet, he said, the
cost of living had gone up 43 per
cent and income taxes were 20
per cent, and that the workers
had no protection against infla-
ton other than the OPA.
AFL Represented
George Englert, executive sec
retary of the Central Labor Un-
ion, joined in the request for the
passage of the ordinance.
Both Councilmen Burke and
Disable stated their belief in the
ordinance with Mr.. Disable say
ing that he had been accused OF
straddling. ITO that" he said, 81
want to state that 1 am unalter-
ably in favor of this ordinance.
Councilman Burke, in stating
his position in favor of the ordi-
nance, criticized the statement
made by Mr.. Dunn, that there
had only been 81 prosecutions IL
Cleveland under a similar ordi-
nance, and said that instead OF
being a comment on the ordi-
nance it could be taken as posi-
tive proof that the ordinance
really did aid in preventing OPA
infractions.
Opposed BY COuncilmen
Councilman Earl O. Lehman
did most of the objecting to the
ordinance. He stated that he
could see no reason for such leg
islation since the enforcement
machinery had already been Sc
up under the federal govern
ment.
Making it easy to prosecute
OPA violations was another rea
son given by councilmen fol
their opposition, and the othel
reason given by Councilman OIL
lie Czelusta, that the ordinance
was directed only at those whC
sell illegally and not against con
sumers who tempt" the dealer
in rationed commodities.
Merchants and food dealers o.
Toledo had gone on record al
being in favor of the ordinance
or not opposed to it.
Organize For Action
Melvin Schultz and Richarc
LaZette, heads of Local IL
UAW-CIO and the Toledo CIC
Council, when informed of tn,
action taken by city council
made it plain that the fight fol
the ordinance was just beginning
and that there would be an in
tensification of the campaign il
its favor.
Mr.. Schultz stated, 1--WE viii
not rest content until council
has given this proposition more
mature consideration. We be
lieve that council is showing 1t!
disregard for the best interest!
of the people of Toledo if it cast
its lot with those who stand Il
profit by this hands-off polio,
taken by our elected officials.
MIR Lazette stated that actor
would be taken to bring city
council to reconsider its decision
and give the ordinance favorable
consideration.
Further action will be taker
at the next regular meeting o
council, Monday, March Is
when labor organizations will
turn out in force to demand th'
passage of the ordinance.

Health Center Bids
Top AIIocated Funds

Construction of Alexandria, &
health center appeared temporarily
blocked when it was found yester-
day that the lowest of three bids
submitted was almost $32 900 higher
than the amount allocated for con-
struction.
Low bidder was Lee Turner

Eugene Simpson & Bro, Alex
andria, builders of the Arlington
Health Center, bid $114,244, and
T. Calvin Owens, Washington, SUBJ
mitted a bid of $1l5,203.
According to City Manager Carl
Budwesky, the Federal Works
Agency has made an ALLEGATION OF
$46 500 for construction of the prof.
ect, to be matched by similar sum
from the city, but $4,000 of the
total Is set aside for architects fees
and equipment.
Mr.. Budwesky said there are now
two courses open, to cut the size of
the building, which seems imprac-
tical in view of the fact that it has
been cut almost lower than minimum
requirements already, and to find
some way Of obtaining additional
funds.
No recommendation Of an award
will be made to the City Council on
the basis Of the bids received, Mr.
Budwesky said, but FWA will be told
Of the situation and viii be expected

Charter Leader Calls
Present County Setup
Acute Bureaucracy
Gordner Says Foes Of
Proposed System Fear
NonpoliticoI Council

Allen II. Gardner, president Of the
Montgomery County Charter Com
mittee, charged today that charter
opponents have mot seen At to
deny" that the present county gov
|ernment," with one or more politi-
cal bosses directing actions Of elect
ed omcials, Is bureaucracy In an az
gravated form"
Asserting that the politicians who
oppose the charter fear 4 nom
partisan and nonpolitical council
answerable to the people for an ef-
flcieht and economical government
Mr.. Gardner said charter opponents
have never denied the existence OF
such spoils practices as paying ex-
cessive prices for contracts, build
ing roads to benefit favored persons
and using public funds to influence
elections.
Referring to statements by charter
opponents that that form of govern
ment Is "untried," Mr.. Gardner said
that while no two communities have
identical governments, every basic
provision in the charter has "been
tried and found good"
Called Efficient System.
"The charter, with its council
manager system, can operate with
the efficiency and economy of a bus
mess organization" Mr.. Gardner
said. Montgomery County is grown
up. It has q three and a half mill
lion dollar budget and should be
operated In modern fashion.
"The latest information shows
that 562 cities and counties, an
increase Of over the recent count
of 7, have this system. Among the
8 counties is Henrico in Virginia
which has q magnificent record OF
improved services and lower taxes.
The charter opponents have made
1t clear, Mr.. Gardner said, that they
favor the spoils system and fear the
loss Of this system If the county
council Is elected on q nenparti-
san ballot. This fear seems well
grounded, since five charter sup
porters were elected to the charter
board on a nonpartisan ticket, de-
feating charter opponents by a vote
Of nearly 2 to l." he said.
Frailey Attacks Charter.
Meanwhile, 1t. Col. Charles l.
Frailey, Chevy Chase, Washington
attorney and q member of the Citi.
zens Committee to Defeat the Char
ter, said that the merging of the

of government in the same author
ity. as provided by the charter
seems both anomalous and con-
trary to the American form OF gov
ernmsnt."
Upder the charter. Col. Frailey
pointed out, the county council
would sit as q legislative body ions
month every year, and would ther
exercise executive functions for thu
balance Of the year. In most cite,
which are under charter govern.
ment. Col. Frailey said, the legisla.
tive and executive powers are lodget
in different bodies.
Col. Frailey also doubted thai
competent men could be found whit
could serve on the county council

f1ciency Of legislative and executive
