think they will respond to real
leadership, but they won't re-

Cites Past Record
qYou're a good man." said
Mr.. Prince, but I don't think
you can change those die

Romney said, ION the Detroit

zens for Michigan "a nonpar-
tisan group he formed three
years ago to prod both par
ties into fiscal and constitu-
tional REFORM. When I was
elected vice chairman of the
constitutional convention last
year, John Swanson told me
I'd be stymied in everything Il
wanted to do. Well. we got 80
per cent of our detectives from
a group that came there de-
termined to maintain the sta
tuS quo. I can get that legisla-
ture to work together the same
way"
Finally, after Is minutes had
gone by and the Romney cam
paign aides were getting visi-

slapped the bookkeeper on the
shoulder and said. IT'S won-
derful to meet a man who's
well-informed."
States Biggest Celebrity
The Romney campaign is not,
of course. all learned disputa-
ton, but there are a remark

every day. At IS, George Rom
ney is probably the biggest
celebrity in the State.
His lantern-jawed face = a

him-was featured in Rambler

rescuing American Motors from
near bankruptcy is well known
Even before he announced for
Governor, he won widespread
publicity as a 1864 presidential
possibility. He is recognized in

usually by his first name by
most Of those he encounters.
Foe Of COmplacency
This candidate is at his worst
when he's talking to members
of his own party, Instead Of
basking in their warmth. he Is
inclined to challenge their CON-
placency.
The fact is that Mr.. Romney
is running about as far away
from his party as he can get
He has a separate headquar-

ture obliviates his party affiIia-

with his ticket-mates, nor does
he plug them.
When challenged on the rec
ord of the Republican legisla-
tors, he does not defend them
All he says is that he can
cajole better things from them

arrived at the gates Of tn,

troit when two carloads Of autt
workers, we'll supplied with
Swanson hats, pulled in be-
hind him.
AS Mr.. Romney began shak'
ing hands with the workers
leaving at the shift change
eight or ten unionists moved ir
directly behind him and started
shouting:
Shake hands, boys, but
watch how you vote"
Remember, now, he runs
with the Republican crowd"
Tell us why you shut down
Hudson, George. I"
How bout those transmits
sions you m owed to Ohio,

Many Of the workers Just
brushed past Mr.. Romney with
hands in pockets, A few took
the literature he was handing
out. One or two mumbled some
thing friendly sounding.
At one point, the candidate
turned to the hecklers and said,
You know who wrote the best
labor management agreement
in history? George Romney, one
year ago"

efforts at hand shaking and
the heekling grew louder:

pocket"
Count your fingers after
wards, boys"
Give that guy his card back.
You don't want that"
The handshaking and the
heckling continued until the
last man on the shift had left
the gate.
Then Mr.. Romney turned to
the loudest of the unionistS,
Thanks fellow, for your help"
he said, sticking out his hand
The UAW man refused to
shake 1t.
That's the attitude that's
killing Michigan" Mr.. Romney
said bitterly.

landed In the Pacific.
Mr.. Kraft pointed out that
the achievement of touchdown
within a few thousand yards
of the intended spot in the
Pacific Ocean after 10000
miles Of travel was a con-
siderable feat.
He explained that every sec
ond of error in retro-firing time
represents 4A miles on the

error in calculating weight
amounts to six-tenths of a mile.

his cool proficiency with q

At first a teacher could be made
