Mr.. Strauss Gantz
Mgr. Wyandotte News,
Wyandotte News
Dear Sir:
Quite a while ago you wrote an
article in your newspaper about
the rotten drinking water we were
getting here in Wyandotte. The
water certainly is no better, in fact,
the condition is worse. Apparently
the Wyandotte Municipal Service
Commission IS doing nothing what
ever about the matter.
I have been forced to haul all of
our drinking and cooking water for
the past few months, as my wife
became very sick from using the
water, and it has also affected me;
so now I have to drive to Lincoln
Park one or two times per week to
get water fit to use and use up my
gasoline coupons for this purpose.
I would like to know whether
there is any prospect that the NUM-
cipal Service Comm. is doing or is
going to do anything about this
matter?
Taxpayer.

 Point-discharged from the Army two days ago, Mauldin, the creator of the famous Up Front With Mauldin" and it's successor, Sweat in in Out" revealed some details about an interview he had with Patton last March in Luxembourg.
 Explaining that his recent dis charge had nothing to do with his expression of opinion, Mauldin said that Patton called him into head quarters and tried to tell me what I should think and what should draw, what GI's should think, what the American people should think"
 When Patton summoned him, Mauldin said, his desk was covered with examples of Mauldin- pictured representations of soldier life in Europe.
 He said my cartoons were under Atning the morale of the Army, ~ere destroying confidence in the command, were making soldiers unsoldierly," Mauldin said.

NEW LEGISLATION
 ON SLAUCHTERINC
Chances of Government Taking Over City Abat=
 toir Less Promising

Less likelihood of federal authori- ties assuming jurisdiction of the city's abbatoir is foreseen in the proposed Patman amendment to the present OPA Congressional discus cion forbidding federal assumption of such slaughter houses. The amendment passed the House Sat- urday in Washington and likely will receive Senate approval
 Army cut-backs in food needs, to release more meat for civilian use, total of 30 per cent instead of 50 per cent choice, good and commer- cial grades of beef, and 5 per cent instead of 75 per cent butter and canned goods.
 Although the local abbatoir slaughtered 67 beef cattle last week, or Is more than it's allotment quota, thereby. under old regulations, mak- ing it subject to federal usurpation, the new Patman amendments and Army cut-backs will, if effected, likely result in almost unlimited slaughtering quotas for such abba toirs as Waterburys. To-date no formal announcement has been re- ceived by Dr. E. J. Godfrey, city health officer.
 The Patman amendment will also permit locally slaughtered meat to enter interstate commerce.

Plans to date call for renovation of the now idle Mulcahy school building as the potential site for a trade school. Meanwhile it is eX- pected that courses will be gotten underway temporarily at the War Production Training Center, TIT South Main street
 Over thirty industrial machines are at the latter site where indus trial training courses have been conducted since 1942. James Calvin is supervisor.
 Unless the state and city author ities lay claim to the federal owned equipment there by June 30 it will be dispersed among other state trade schools.
