Roge|I, Dordiis
Mayor Clash

Two councilmen. who have been
seeking 10 delay selection of an
airport site, claShed with Mayor
Jeffries in an informal meeting OF
common council today and de-
clared they were being male fall
guys"
AS remember 1t, about three
years ago your airport commit
tee recommended the Sli Nile
Wyoming site and you were
opposed to It," Councilman Will
liam Rogell challenged the mayor.
"And when the time came, 1
was the only councilman who
voted against the Eight Mile
Dequindre site" he cntinued.
DoRAIs STATES STAND
Councilman Charles E. Dorais
declared that he, like Rogell, did
not oppose the northwest location,
but expressed his opinion that
council should refuse to be "stam-
peded by a possible gift" of land
amounting to only 3 per cent OF
the cost of the project.
He referred 10 the Board OF
Commerce offer to donate nearly
800 acres now under option If the
northwest site is chosen inme"
diately.
Options expire Aug. 1, and DON
aid S. Kiskadden of the Board OF
c ommer said their renewal
would entail needless additional
expense.
RECALLS BLUNDERs
I'VE have many many blund-
ers In the past on airports,"
DoraiS continued, land 1, for
one, don't want TO make another
IL the experts advice will help"
Both Rogell and Dorais had
urged a delay in final choice Of a
site until a committee of engineers
studying airport needs of Wayne.
Oakland and Macomb counties
complets its report, which is ex.
pected in mid-July. II was appar-
ent that their attitude had pro-
duced a deadlock.
In the hope of breaking this
deadlock, Council President John
c. Lodge had postponed presenta-
tion of resolution calling for con-
demnation of the northwest site
until Monday.
2 OTHERS EXPECTED
Councilman George Edwards. an
army lieutenant now stationed at
Camp Maxey, Tex, is expected
home on leave next week, and
there is a possibility that Council
man Frank Cody, who has been
i'll in Ford Hospital, also may be
on hand.
Two neighborhood groups pro-
tested selection of the north

With Detroit shops stripped
bare Of anything resembling chick
ems or turkey, Robert +. Victg,
an Insurance analyst. of log
Tennyson revealed he has an OPP
tlon on the turkey, which IS now

But the stumbling block is. he
said, that the OPA wholesale price
Is AIS cents a pound in New York
and only 1915 cents in Detroit.
The New York man holding the
turkeys won't sell 10 Vicug unless
the OPA raises the Detroit ceiling
price TO the New York ceiling

"OPA agents in Detroit
Nieug said. "bsVe told me the

The university has the largest
