Michigan Jet Base
Nov Not Be Built
BY the Associated Press

A controversial jet fighter base
authorized for Manistee County.
Mich, may never be built.
Guided missiles instead Of
piloted fighter squadrons may be
put in the Northern Michigan
area, John M. Ferry, Air Force
Assistant Secretary for InStalla-
lions, said today in an interview.
If missiles are chosen, he said,
different requirements might call
for a missile base to be built
elsewhere than on the Manistee
site-picked by Congress over
strong Air Force objections.
Mr. Ferry said that in any
event it will be necessary to in
stall at some existing Northern
Michigan base the Serni-Auto-
matte Ground Environment

that originally was planned for
the proposed new Jet base.

.Great-Grandma
Calls Off Her
Road Blockade

BLACKSTONE, Mass, Sept
II GA rifle-toting great
grandmother declared a truce
today, and removed road block
which had halted traffic on a
new highway through her farm
for the last three days.
Mrs. Kornelia Zariczny, 70
called off her blockade after
consulting with her attorney
Normand Theriault, of Milford,
after he returned from a con-
ference with police and Judge
Edwin F. McCooey at the Ux-
bridge District Court.
Blackstone and State police
meanwhile, were making an in
vestigation of the blockade at
the direction of Judge McCooey
Release Produced
Judge McCooey said the Black
stone police had produced a re-
lease, apparently signed by Mrs
Zariczny. giving the town the
strip of land on which the new
road was built.
Mrs. Zariczny first blocked the
road Saturday with heap OF
railroad ties and old lumber.
When police pulled the pile of
lumber from the road she re-
turned yesterday with a fallen
tree and sign saying: THE
State of Mass. did not pay me
for this land. They toxic it. De-
tour. Keep out"
She removed the tree late last
night after State police warned
her she might be held RESPONSE
BILE for any traffic accident.
Stay During Night
However, she and members of
her family continued the physi-
cal blockade through most of the
night.
With her were her three
daughters, two sons and two
grandchildren. They said that if
taken into custody they would
call on Mrs. Zariczny's six other
sons and daughters, 20 grand
children and five great-grand-
children to take up the guard.
Traffic on Federal street die
not come to a standstill despite
the blockade. Cars used a road
paralleling the 600-foot section
blocked by Mrs. zariczny.
The great-grandchildren said
State officials asked her for two
feet of land on each side of Fed
eral street last January.
Wasn't Paid
However, Mrs. Zariczny con-
tinued, when the new road was
constructed a 600-foot-long CO.
foot-wide section was built par
allel to the old road to avoid a
curve.
She claimed her land was
taken without permission and
she was not paid for it.
Thomas D. Connors, chairman
of the Blackstone Board of Sc
lectmen, said all abutters on the
new road signed releases. He said
Eone of Mrs. Zariczny's sons signed
for her.

20. Government must provide

tunities.
20. Promotion in Government
must be based more on ability
and achievement and less on
seniority and what is sometimes
called personal patronage.
"A. 1t must be made easier
for Government to remove in
competents, whether or not they
happen to be veterans. Better
supervision must be provided.
IS. More intelligent reduction
in-force procedures must be
worked out to enable agencies
to retain the most competent,
and more equitable veterans
preference in retention rights
should be established.
IS. The career system should
be made Government-wide. The
only exceptions should be those
positions which involve policy
decisions. At present, these ex-
ceptions are irregular and often
are based on political rather
than personnel considerations" "
The league made the pro-
posals on the occasion Of its 18th
anniversary.
James r. Watson, the leagues
executive director, noted that
today 80 per cent of Federal
employees are under civil service.
But he cautioned: THE real
measure of a civil service system
is not its size, nor even the
strength Of its projections
against political influence. 1t is
the effectiveness with which it
stats Government at all levels,
from the -unskilled up to the
highly-trained technical worker
or the career administrator"
