Clifton Lind
Editor

Three cities, Lincoln Park, Ecorse
and River Rouge, await the pub
fishing Thursday of new newspa-
pers for their residents. The publ
cations are part of a four newspaper
chain announced by the Wyandotte
News Co. last Monday.
Strauss Gantz, vice-president
of the Wyandotte News CO., has
appointed Clifton Lind as editor
Of the new publications. Until
offices can be established in the
three cities, Mr.. Lind will con-
duct the newspapers from the
WyandOtte News-Herald building,
using many of the facilities of
this 6S-year-old newspaper.
An editorial staff for the three
newspapers has already gone to
work preparing for the first edi-
tons. The publications will be
known as The Ecorse Courier, The
River Rouge Journal and The Lin
coin Park Sun. Temporarily, the
name Sun" will not be used. This
edition will be known as the Lin
coin Park edition of the News
Herald.
As the first editions are being
prepared for distribution, original
plans for twelve-page newspapers
may soon have to be revised to
make it possible for more bus
mess firms to secure cOverage Of
the new areas. More advertisers
than there Is room to accommo-
date have already requested space
in the newspaper chain.
: Decision to publish a chain of
newspapers blanketing the entire
Downriver area came after thor
ough surveys were made for the
Federal Communications Commits
SION in Washington.
1t was upon these surveys that
the FEC granted the Wyandotte
News Co. authority to own and OPP
crate an FM radio station located
ir Wyandotte but serving the en-
ire Downriver district. 1t was
learned then that Wyandotte serves
this entire area.
Heretofore If a merchant or an
individual wished to reach the res
idents of all the many communi-
ties in the area it has been neces-
sary to contact four different pub
llshers. From the merchant stand
point this has been an expensive
process.
The new chain of newspapers
makes it possible TO reach Lincoln
Park, Ecorse and River Rouge
through the Wyandotte News
Herald. If a news story is of in
terest to residents of the other
communities it will be carried
throughout the chain. If an adver-
tiser wishes to reach this area that
can be done very economically.

WHAT THIS COUNTRY needs
besides a good five cent nickel

CALM business.
What difference does it make
WHOSE CALLING You are going
TO talk to him anyway.
This silly business was popular
during the depression wnen
most of us were one jump ahead OF
the sheriff. There's no excuse Tor
It ANYMORE. Besides, it's an insult
to the person who is calling.
Top-fhght executives never have
to know WHOLE CALLING, You
can reach the heads of every IN
dustry IN the district by just giving
them q buzz. You can talk to the
heads Of all the banks by just ring
ing their numbers. You can reach
the mayor by just asking for him.
You can reach the managers OF our
biggest stores by just hollering for
them.
But still there are plenty OF die
hards who insist upon knowing
WHOLE CALM.
Believe it or not If this
columnist wants to talk TO Harry
Whitlow News Herald sports
writer and businessman ne
can't even get near the guy until
Whitlow's Girl Friday first knows
WHOLE CALM. Harry insists
upon it and there are no ex-
captions to his rule.
There are many times this col
umnist wants to reach Bill Mellus,
Lincoln Park newShawk. Even II
We wish to feed him a news scoop
o. tell him where he can get an
al we've got to go through the
whole rigamarole and tell his
girl WHOLE CALM. Mellus' girl
sometimes has wax in her ears
which means that it takes five min
utes to spell out G-A-N-T-z- All
the time she wants to call us ANTS
or PANTS.
It's both discouraging and insult
ing to so through all these motions
before you can speak to the person
you are calling. People who pull this
should realize it doesn't make them
one bit bigger in the eyes Of the
guy WHOLE CALM.
Last week we had occasion to
phone John BugaS former F'BI
sleuth now with Ford Motor. Bugas'
girl didn't ask who was calling.
She whiSked the call right through.
Five minutes later we called the
president of a female club. Her
husband answered the phone.
WHOLE CALM he barked
Just like We were up to no
good. We fooled that bloke {.
asking maybe he wanted TO tell us
when the sewing circle would have
a meeting and would he be
present with the dear ladies.
Our lady reporters have the same
trouble calling men and first
getting their wives on the phone.
Lots of women not only want to
know WHOLE CALM but want
to know what our reporters want
with their husbands. This sort of
monkey business makes our re-
porters wonder maybe there are
some skeletons running loose here
and there. And it isn't smart bus
mess to let a reporter get suspi-
cious. Some Of our best news stories
are born that way.
One sure way to cure the WHOLE
CALM clique is to refuse to tell
them. They are the curious type or
they wouldn't pull this gag. SO,
next time the voice on the other
end of the phone asks you the s64
question just tell her to have Mr..
Bigshot call your number back &.
and find out WHOLE CALM.

Prosecutor Doubts
Engineer Is Entirely
To Blame for Wreck

push an inquiry into a collision of
two fast Burlington passenger trains
which killed A., asserted today he
was mot entirely satisfied" that w.
w. Blaine, 68-year-old engineer on
the Exposition Express, lis to bear
the entire blame"
Il believe other angles might be
about as much to blame as the
engineers operation" the prosecu-
tor told newsmen after calling off
his inquiry when no member of the
train crew appeared.
The Burlington Railroad, mean
while. scheduled separate investi-
cation conference in Chicago for
/ later in the day. Members of the
two train crews were instructed
to attend. Mr.. Daniels said he
would attend the Chicago meeting.
Engineer Still in Hospital.
Mr.. Blaine, who remained at the
controls of the Exposition Flyer
| when it rammed into the standing
Advance Flyer, was still being
treated at an Aurora hospital for a
skull fracture. He has been charged
with manslaughter.
A 24-hour guard was established
at the Aurora hospital, where ply
siclans said Mr.. Blaine would be
confined for two or three weeks.
AS investigations continued, the
last of the victims was identi-
fed and % of the 100 injured
remained in hospitals, three in
critical condition. Officials of the
Illinois State Commerce Commits
sion and the Interstate Com
merce Commission also made in
vestigations to determine the cause
of the wreck
Trends of the early investigations
indicated that authorities were con-
cerned with Mr.. Blaine's part in the
wreck and with operation of the
roads system of automatic controls.
Couldn't Stop in Time.
Mr. Daniels said Mr.. Blaine had
told him that when he first saw the
signal warning that the other train
was a mile and quarter ahead he
was going too fast" and his nine
car train was too light to permit a
stop in time. Although he applied
the brakes, Mr.. Daniels quoted Mr..
Blaine as saying, his train, travelling
about IS miles an hour, flashed past
the red signal and smashed into the
Advance Flyer which had made an
unscheduled stop to permit the crew
to make an inspection of an under
carriage.
Edward Flynn, Burlington eXecu-
tive vice president, said that warn
ing and stop lights were 1,10O and
$3.50 feet away from the point of
accident and could have been mile
farther away. Road spokesman said
the block control system was func-
tionlng properly.
Meanwhile, as the $50 railroad re-
palrmen finished removing wreck
age of smashed coaches and a dam
aged Diesel engine from the scene,
H. H. Urbach. chief of the Burling-
tons mechanical division. said the
wreck caused s275 900 damage to the
roads equipment and tracks. He
said of this, 100000 damage was
done to the S350,000 Exposition
Flyers engine.
