Plan Told

WASHINGTON. Jan. IL (INS)
Congressional leaders planned
today to summon Gen. Eisenhower
before a joint session of the
House and Senate for an ex-
planation of demobilization de-
days.
The army chief of staff may sp-
pear before Congress Tuesday il
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
and House Speaker Rayburn ap-
prove, or IL the army formally
requests the meeting.
The joint session would be
similar TO the one held last fall
when Gen. Marshall quelled a
growing congressional clamor
over army discharge plans by
addressing its members at an in
formal meeting in the Library OF
Congress.
Advocates of the proposed meet
ing declare il would give Eisen-
hover the best possible sounding
b6ard to outline realities of the
world military situation.
Eisenhowers talk would be de-
signed TO take the steam out OF
soldier demonstrations in Europe
and the Pacific, and 10 ease the
pressure on congressman for Leg
islation TO hasten the discharge
program.

Michigan mayors have been or
ganizing during recent weeks
with the view TO redoubllng their
efforts this year.
The cities won the first round
with the agreement by Gov. Kelly
TO include the financial plight of
the cities in his official agenda for
the special session of the LeglS-
lature which is to meet Feb. a.
A sharp contrast will be drawn
by Mayor Jeffries-the affluence
of a state government which is
literally rolling in tax Fevnues on
the one hand; the poverty OF De-
troit and the other cities of Michi-
gan on the other hand.
From the mass of financial data
which he has accumulated the
mayor will present the following
highlights;
Wayne County contributes 46
to 54 per cent of all the tax
revenues collected by the state.

state governme ent Wayne

was drafted in 1888 to raise
$30,000,000 a year will bring in
Sf68766e,66o- this year.
o The state government, JEFF
fries will charge, has deliber-
ately hidden a large part of its
surpluses by earmarking its
huge bank deposits. The state
government had Sll0, ,23S,S71 of
such surpluseS and uneXpended

he would have sent the fleet TO

If the army had informed him
of the radar plot made on Japa-
