Grad survey of the Willow Run
production area for Macomb
County was 1876, 245, as of June
1914.
Supervisors questioned whe-
Their the 136,245 figure (given
out by the census bureau) would
stand as an official" census. If
so, some reasoned, this would
"fill the bill" as far as a 1945
census was concerned. 1t was
suggested that the confusion be
cleared up, but the board took
no action and the matter re-
mains ION the table"
In commenting on a special
census, Washington officials in
formed the board in their let
ter that the county would in
clude all army personnel sta
toned in the county (presuma-
bly, Selfridge Field and the
Chrysler tank planD, but
would not include county men
now in the armed forces, nor
mally county residents.
One supervisor commented
that if the latter was the case,
the county might even find its
population a lot lower than an
ticipated. since unestimated
thousands of county men are in
service.

Jail Project
Stote Requests
Additional Doto

Plans for postwar construc-
ton of a new Macomb County
Jail faced a temporary setback
this week when the County
Board of Supervisors was in
formed by the State Planning
Commission that information on
the Jail project was incomplete.
The planning commission's
approval Of so per cent of costs
for plans and specifications was
held up by the State Administers
tive Board, the Supervisors
were informed, because the ap-
peel for aid did not specify ~
whether the city police will use
the Jail; (2) what type Of con-
struction is planned; (3) the
sheriffs approval, and az a
resolution of the supervisors
definitely approving the Jail
building plan.
The matter was referred to
the Building Committee to pro-
vide the necessary information.
During a comment at the meet
ing a Mount Clemens represent
alive stated that the city does
not plan to join in the county
Jail project but anticipates hav-
ing its own Jail.

County Shuns
Census Costs
TobIes PROPOSED
for Enumeration

When proponents of a plan
TO spend $4,000 for a federal
census of Macomb County failed
TO offer convincing arguments
as to what gain would be OBJ
tanned from it. the Board of SUI
pervisors by failure to take &C.
ton discarded the suggestion,
temporarily at least. during
Mondays board session.
The census plan was backed
by East Detroit and Warren
Township, with Supervisors
Stephen r. Henderson and Earl
Tallman acting as spokesmen
for their respective communi-
ties. They argued that benefits,
through postwar Federal aid
distribution Con per capita
basis) would far outweigh the
initial census cost.
SHOW-ME ATTITUDE
Mount Clemens supervisors
Bert V. Nunneley and Harold
Lindsey, although not turning
thumbs down on the census
plan, adopted a "show me" at
titude in respect to the benefits
to be derived from a special
census.
Lindsey read bills now before
g n
grant funds to communities, in
which the wording of the bills
stated that distribution would
be on a population basis "as per
the last federal decennial GEN.
sus," meaning 1910 The ode
cennial" part of this phrase
would eliminate any population
increase taking place since 1910,
Mount Clemens supervisors
pointed out.
QUESTIONS RESULTS
Nunneley said he could not
see how state or federal agen-
cies could make an exception
in their ALLEGATIONS to Macomb
County because it had financed
special census. Tallman disa-
greed strongly on this point, ig-
noring any possibility of getting
state monies, but insisting that
Federal largess as the war-end
near will be generous and
pointing out that if. it was dis
tributed on a population basis
Federal officials could hardly
ignore their own Especially GEN.
sus figures for the county,
Several supervisors. includ-
ing chairman Floyd w. Rosso,
commented that they would
like to know the Federal at
titude" on this matter before
spending funds for a census. If
the government agreed it would
recognize 1945 figure (rather
than 194O) in distributing funds,
the supervisors indicated they
would vote for the expenditure.

In a communication from
Washington census officials

census if ordered and paid for,

 The capture Of Foggia airfields confirmed our hold on the main land. Fighters based in Sicily could carry enough gasoline to operate only about Is minutes over the Salerno beachhead. Now they could be based in large numbers close to tLe battle area. Prom Foggia our heavy bombers could easily strike at the passes crossing the Alps, attack Germany air installations in Austria and factories in southern Germany, and raid industrial and transportation centers in the Bal kans aiding the Red Army. In ad- oition the BITS and BIAS of the Strategic Forces could reinforce the efforts of the Tactical Air Forces in isolating the Italian bat tie area.
 Movement of the heavy bombers and fighter forces into Foggia was a tremendous undertaking because of the equipment necessary to estab- fish new runways, pumping plants, pipe lines, repair shops, and ware houses For some weeks a consid- eable portion of the shipping was devoted to the movement of the Air Force onto the Italian main- land. By the end of the year 5000 combat airmen with their support ing forces were established in Italy. There were two heavy bombardment groups, two medium groups, and two fighter groups operating from 10 airfields. The fall weather made it necessary to overlay the runways with steel mat. Pipe lines and pump ing stations, largely recovered from North Africa, had to be installed to permit the necessary flow oi aviation fuel to the airdromes. This build-up of air power consumed ap- proximately 100000 tons of shipping during the most critical months of the Italian campaign, So heavy were the shipping requirements o1 the Fifteen Strategic Air Force, aCtivated l November 1943 under General Doolittle, that the build-up of our ground forces in Italy was considerably delayed This decision was a difficult one for General Eisenhower since the delay would give the enemy a heavy superior ity in ground troops for consider able period,
