headed monster" the City Man
ager proponents wildly pro-
claim?
Now, going further. just how
would the City Manager form of
government change this frame
work? Not one iota! The only
difference would be that the
assistant superintendent and
chiefs and employees would be
responsible to him, and he to the
Commission, rather than they
being responsible directly to the
respective elected commissioner
in charge of the department.
SO as a matter of fact under
a City Manager form of govern
ment we will have the same
framework of government as we
have under the Commission
form. The only difference is that
under the City Manager type
he is the titular head Of all the
departments, responsible to the
Commission, while under our
present form each commissioner
is the head Of one Of the de-
partments and responsible TO the
whole Commission for its oper-
alton. In either form we would
have the same departments, the
same officers, the same duties,
and the same services. If our
present form of government is a
multi headed monster, the
City Manager type will like
wise be a multi headed mon
ster" plus another head!
CLOSE TO PEOPLE
We believe our present form
of government is closer to true
democracy by being closer to
the people. Their elected COM
missioners are charged with the
responsibility of successful op-
Grafton of the city and their re-
spective department thereof. IT
the Commissioner does not per-
form his duties, the people can
remove him,-if he does, they
can keep him. 1t is closer to the
theory upon which all democ-
racy is based-responsibility to
the people. Time does not change
this. 1t has functioned success
fully and we'll. How do we know
how the City Manager type
would function? Then why take
a chance? Why change?

ROSEVILLE - Vandalism re-

case.
The damage was reported at

All windows in the place were

Johnston Plans
Real Anti Bank
Bank Bill Shift

LANSING, Feb. "a B-
Senator Ivan A. Johnston,
Mount Clemens Republican, said
he would offer amendments in
the Senate today to make a
real anti-branch bank bill of
a measure designed to restrict
branch banking.
Frankly" Johnston declared,
Il do not trust the motives of
the sponsors of this measure.
1t does not do what it proposes
to do. l think it is designed de-
liberately to permit the big De-
troit banks to come out and
gobble up the small banks in
my district. but denies someone
else the right to develop branch
es."
The proposed bill, similar to
one defeated in one legislative
session and vetoed by govern
or in another, would allow a
bank to establish branches with
in a 25-mile radius or in an ad-
joining county.
Declaring he would attempt
to limit branch banking to the
corporate limits of the city in
which the parent bank is locat-
ed, Johnston said the 25-mile
radius would permit Detroit,
Pontiac, Flint and Port Huron
banks to blanket his three
county district with branches.

five little governments in ONT" ,
and then, giving full sway to
their imagination, have INDUCED
in such a wild flight of imagin-
alton as in Tuesdays paper to
call it a "multi-headed mon
ster". They even bring the war
into it, and by some methods OF
reasoning which we are unable
to follow, argue that because
General Eisenhower is the Com
manding General of our armies
in Europe, and General MacAr-
thur is the head of our South
Pacific armies, therefore Mount
Clemens should have City
Manager to be its head!
FAR-FETCHED?
How armies and city govern
ments can be compared in a
governmental way utterly es-
capes us.
But let us look at our govern
ment briefly.
Its governing body consists OF
an elected commission of five
members, one of whom is elect
ed Mayor. The latter is the chief
executive officer OF the city.
Under our charter this commits
sion governs the city, passe1 on
the budget, approves or rejects
licenses, and !, general per-
forms the functions governing
bodies usually do. In addition,
and this seems to greatly dis
turb the City Manager pro-
ponents, each commissioner be-
comes the head of specific de-
partment of the city, and re-
sponsible for its efficient oper-
alton.
FOUR DEPARTMENTS
There are really four major
departments of the city, each
furnishing an essential service
to the citizens. These are:
/. Department Of Streets,
Parks, and Public Property.
2. Department of Pu C
Safety.
3. Department of Finance.
4. Department of Water and
Sewers. :
Each Of these departments
has it's administrative head, an
assistant superintendent or chief,
and various employees neces-

and fair market value" for the
property.
Nunneley was followed by
Hugh H. Neale, of Mount Glenn
ems, one of the Warren Town
ship counsel, who took the
stand that there are two meth
DDS of appraisal, liberal and
conservative.
ESTIMATES CONSERVATIVE
Neale claimed that the De-
troit realty expert (Strata) had
declined to specify whether his
appraisals were in the liberal or
conservative bracket, and the
attorney said property owners
are entitled to the presumption
that Strata's estimates were con-
sentative.
In opposition, Neale stated
that his sides experts, the firm
of Irwin, Right e. Hines, used a
liberal appraisal method.
(Strata's appraisals ran as
high as $4,000 for small farm
within the square-mile area.
Many appraisals on both sides
were close together, but some
showed wide variance, particu-
larly in relation to trailer camp
sites and truck-gardening sites
where years of work had been
devoted to raising the soil fer
tility for rhubarb, asparagus
and other crops)
Other attorneys for the prop
erty owners will commence Of
fering their final arguments Fri
day, following which the City
of Detroit will be entitled to q
rebuttal before jurors take the
case.
Throughout the long hearing
property owners objections to
the condemnation have been
voiced in three different atti-
tudes not of equal proportions:
THREE GROUPS
Cd Persons with we'll estab-
lished homes, productive gar
dens, handicapped and improved
properties who are loath to
pull up stakes;
(2) Persons objecting to the
passage of planes and CONNER
cialism of an airport, and
90 Persons objecting to an
airport site only for the purpose
of forcing Detroit to raise its
bids to a generous level.
In launching the condemna-
ton suit, the City of Detroit did
so with its tongue in its cheek, "
having previously received a
Supreme Court warning that it
did so at it's own peril"
When Warren Township
School District 7, adjoining the
airport site, sought an injunc-
ton preventing the condemna-
ton suit, the Supreme Court re-
fused to enjoin Detroit, but in
formed it that it could proceed
to condemn Eat its own peril"
and might be unable to use The

some Zeros tried to surprise the

that he saw the whole thing: Johnny
Petack dove for his target, one Of

bomb hit the boat the P-40 was seen
to explode, evidently hit by ground
fire. Ajax followed the burning ship
almost to the ground and saw it
strike in rice paddy near Bud

So Petack, one of the AVG who
had stayed for the extra two weeks,
was killed in action. It's peculiar
how man could fight all through

John Petack had remained for the

geographical situation. Colonel Coo
per and Cooper had been in the
movie production business-used- to
discuss the peculiar beauty of the
place, and he'd say that it would
make the greatest location in the
world for a moving picture.
1t was a fiat, tableland country,
and over the ages it must have
been under water. From the level
plain rose vertical, rocky hills, like
stalagmites. These were honey
combed with caves where water,
when they, were submerged, must
have dissolved the limestone that
had been in the pockets. Evidently
the glacier period had planed the
valley fiat as the glacier moved
South, but the jagged rocks had
withstood the pressure. Then, as
the glacier melted, the caves had
formed under water. Now the gray
pinnacles of lava-like rock pointed
straight towards the heavens. These
one-thousand- to two-thousand-foot
sentinels gave the valley an eery APP
pearance that always subdued my
general feeling of cheerfulness. AS
long as went to Kweilin, I dreaded
the extra nervous tension that I
knew it would produce. Add to this
a summer temperature of over 100
degrees, a humidity Of almost 100
per cent, and fine powdery dust
that gagged you, and you can real
ize that Kweilin was not summer
resort.
There was just the single runway

those silent needles of stone. We

natural caves, and the radio set in

Many times it has saved our fighter

chances there against the japanese
would have been hopeless.
It seems that the General had al
ways known that Japan was our

As the committee turned anew

struck. Barkley said the COM
mittee thus far stands on the
theory that il would be better
for these men to hear first what
other witnesses have to say.
2. Committee Counsel William
D. Mitchell and his staff are un-
changed in their plans to quit
the case January 3, or as soon
as they can break in new legal
help. Mitchell has predicted the
hearing will go on for months
at the current rate of question
ing by committee members.
