Planning
(Continued from Page One)

planning agenda will be the con
struction of a municipal build
ing here, the mayor said. He
pointed out that the city would
have to vacate its office on the
sixth floor of the county build
ing in six years and some pro-
gram should be mapped SO that
when that time arrives suitable
quarters will be available.
The mayoy also cited the need
for a city stadium and recrea-
ton center in Mount Clemens
The commission will be asked
TO study a way OF raising funds
for such a project.
A zoning commission to make
a study of housing in the city
and set down regulations for
future building here was deemed
necessity by the mayor.
COMMISSION APPROVES
Commissioner Guy H. Verkler
strongly supported the mayors
motion for approval of the COM
mission and praised him on his
unbiased selections.
He pointed out the timeliness
of such a move and urged the
immediate adoption of the COM
mission.
A similar view was taken by
COMMISSIONS Fred Breitmeyer
who had previously voiced the
need for a municipal building
here. Commissioner Breitmeyer
likewise was enthusiastic in his
commentator of the personnel
of the commission and said nat
it was a big step in the right
direction.
In announcing his selections,
Mayor Wagner cited what group
each man represented.
REPRESENTATIVE BODY
Tryloff was named as repre-
sentative of the professional
group and Hargreaves the utili-
ty companies.
Titus will serve as represen-
tative of recreational groups who
are seeking additional facilities
here. Watz is serving as Spokes-
man for the businessmen and
DeGroot the Board of Commerce.
Mckee, publishe of the
Monitor-Leader, was named as a
representative of the public at
large assigned to the task of
keeping the people informed.
Barck was cited as the repre-
sentative of the real estate men
and property owners.

220-pound Little as his proxy"
The incident arose when Ray
H. Callens, former Macomb
county probate judge, threaten
ed to make Davidow take back"
illusions to his - Callens' - in
terest in the case. The former
Judge is counsel for the traffic
victims widow.
Little, at that stage, Jumped
forward, announced loudly that
I'm Davidow by proxy" and
elbowed his way between the
pushing, gesticulating pair. The
court restored order before Sc
rious violence could occur.
The whole history OF the Mac
Pherson case has been studded
with legal maneuvering, bitter
charges and counter . charges
throughout which the accused
oil man has, so far, succeeded In
keeping his case out OF the
hands of a higher court.

Returned Vet
Is Granted
Taxi License

The Mount Clemens City
Commission had its first oppor-
tunity last night to be of spe-
cific aid to a returning war vet
eran and it followed in its de-
clared intention of aiding ex-
servicemen by granting Dwayne
Humphrey, bemedalled air hero,
q taxi license.
Humphrey, former Western
Union messenger here who won
several citations for service with
the Air Corps in the c. B. |.
theatre attended the meeting in
person.
His cause seemed doomed at
first when Commissioner Guy II.
Verkler cited the number of
taxi companies in operation here
and the possibility of "saturat-
ing" the area with taxis and
killing the business Of the long
established firms.
On his recommendation 1t was
decided to amend Mayor Albert
A. Wagner's motion of last
week in which the city attorney
was asked to draw up an ordi-
nance against taxi drivers, to
include a ceiling on the num-
Der of taxi companies which
can operate in the city.
Verkler said that other cities
have laws allowing only so
many taxis to operate, based on
a ratio per capita.
The conduct of taxi drivers
toward their patrons was
brought up by A. d. Brewer,
secretary of the Board of Com
merce who urged the commits
sion to demand that taxi COM
panies post rate scale. This
will also be incorporated in the
ordinance.
Humphrey, who lives at 81 N.
Rose street, told the commission
that he was planning to oper-
ate the business with his BROTH
er but that he had not yet de-
cided on where he would locate
his stand.

Industry

(Contlnueo from Page One)
expressed the view that the plant
would bring additional revenues
to the city rs well as give jobs
to the residents of Mount Glenn
ems and urged the city to do
everything in its power to meet
the demands of the Electromas-
ter firm.
On his recommendation the
commission voted to install a
bigger water line than original
ly intended SO that If other
plants decide to build in that
area their water needs will be
met.
Brewer told the commission
of Electromaster's intention to
start work on the $4,000 square
foot plant within the next two
or three weeks. He said that the
plant which will be located on
a 23-acre tract north OF Hub
bard avenue extending to LAT
ayette will have scenic value as
we'll as an economic value.
He stated that other irons are
at present "in the fire" and the
possibility that other plants will
be constructed here depended
on a large measure on how the
city commission cooperated with
the companies.
The new plants In Mount
Clemens are expected to offer
approximately $50 additional
jobs here, Brewer said. The
Electromaster plant Is expected
to be completed by the first OF
February.

ship police headquarters and
was taken to the hospital for
first-aid treatment.
His visit to Held's office fol-
lowed on Tuesday.
TIES IN DETAILS
The prosecutor himself, OBJ
viously jubilant at the turn the
highly involved case had taken,
said today that:
THE Mohr story ties-in per-
fectly with that of witnesses who
pursued the death car and of
others who had described Mac
Pherson as drinking heavily
shortly before the accident. I
am utterly convinced that he is
the guilty man and shall press
the charge against him with all
possible vigor. >He definitely will
not evade justice insofar as this
office is concerned.
Held cited the fact that he felt
indicated by the Mohr testi-
mony. IF I had prosecuted
Macpherson earlier and he had
been acquitted by a judge or
jury and then this Mohr evil
dence had been discovered I
could not have gone back into
court against the accused man.
Now, with a complete case in my
hands, l have no doubt about
obtaining conviction. Mac
Pherson can't squirm out Of this
one"
REPORTED CAR THEFT
The Macpherson car had been
reported stolen to Detroit police
officers on the night of the fatal
accident but was not so reported
until II p. M, almost three hours
after the crash took place, Of
fetal records reveal. 1t had been
MacPherson's contention that his
machine was stolen shortly be-
fore 8 p. m. from the corner of
Eight Mile and Van Dyke roads.
Mohr, in making formal
statement to the prosecutor on
Tuesday, said in part that Il
couldn't take it any longer" In
referring to his decision to leave
MacPhersons employ. He ex-
pressed his complete willingness
to appear on the witness stand
against his erstwhile employer
and, he said, ito tell the truth. +"
This weeks staggering devel-
opment in the case which has
been the center of widespread
public interest for three years,
followed closely upon the heels
of yet another milepost in its
lengthy legal history. Just last
Friday, Justice of the Peace
Parent had bound Macpherson
over to circuit court for trial on
charges of leaving the scene OF
fatal accident following
months of legal maneuvering,
bitter accusations and actual
fistic demonstrations in the
court room.

How to Greet q
Wounded Soldier

Charlie Jenkins got back from
overseas the other day, dis
charged for wounds and he
was pretty well banged UP.
Naturally, our town felt
mighty bad about It. We wanted
to sympathize with him and
help him. But Doc Walters set
us straight about that.
He said that what Charlie
wanted most was to be accepted
as one of the gang again . as if
nothing had happened. So we
asked him over to pitch horse
shoes with his good hand, and
enjoy a friendly glass of beer
and chew the fat like old times.

From where I sit, Doc Walters
gave us the right steer. The

don't want our sympathy or our
Overenthusiastic help. They
want to be treated like the rest
of us -. with a chance to work
and lead a normal life. And
that's the least we can offer them.
