Donohue Soys

A Citizens Advisory Council will
be appointed July /. provided the
Senate doesn't block the pro-
posed city reorganization. Com
missioner F. Joseph Donohue said
last night.
Mr.. Donohue also said the coun-
Gil:

will be able to make suggestions
on its own initiative.
3. Should open its meetings to

however.
Encouraged by Hearing.
Mr.. Donohue spoke on his
weekly radio program over Sta
ton WWDC.
He said he and Brig. Gen.
Bernard L. Robinson. Engineer
Commissioner, were very much
encouraged about the Senate's
attitude toward the plan after
their appearance on Capitol Hill
Thursday. Testimony is scheduled
to resume at 10 am. Tuesday.
The Advisory Council plan. Mr..
Donohue said. seemed to impress
the Senators best.
July 1 is the date the reorgani-
zation plans goes into effect unless
disapproved by either House.
Mr.. Donohue was asked what
procedure would be followed in
selecting council members. He said
that problem still was being
wrestled with.
He said he didn't know whether
appointments would be on a geo.
graphical basis. but he declared:
1T is my hope We may appoint
men and women who will take the
broad view, rather than consider
problems on the basis Of a geo.
graphical area or because of q
particular problem on which an
individual may have exhibited
some prior interest"
The appointees, he added.
should be men and women of in
tegrity, ability and experience.
No Rubber Stamp Sought.
The question of the councils
ability to initiate suggestions was
raised by Senator Case, Republic
can, of South Dakota, at Thurs
days hearing. Asked about this,
Mr.. Donohue stated:
You may be certain that it is
not our purpose to appoint a
council which will act as a rubber
stamp for the Board of Commits
lsioners. But it is our purpose to
appoint a council which will truly
advise the Board of Commission
ers on matters of broad public
policy.
Gen. Robinson also assured re-
porters that he intended the
council should act on its own
initiative.
Gen. Robinson also stated the
board would be nonpartisan and
would be named without regard
to political creed, race, color, or
religion.

About so kinds Of flying fish are
known. They live and make their
flights, or glides, over the Atlantic.
the Pacific and the Indian oceans,
also over seas and bays.
It is common for these fish to
go more than 100 feet through the
air. Often they cover a distance
of from 200 to 500 feet.
Flying fish travel in schools or
shoals. Hundreds of them. even
thousands, may gather in q single
shoal. Usually they leap upward
together, and make their long glides.
We may wonder why they leave
the water. The purpose is to save
their lives! Being Of small size,
and living where there are fierce
enemies, they are in constant dan
ger of being captured and eaten.
Sharks, tunnies and porpoises
are among the enemies Of flying
fish. They go into a shoal and de-

the flying fish hurry away through
