Village Officers All Incumbents of village offices

were nominated by acclamation at a well attended village caucus Moo* day night at the City Hall which may be the last ever to be held In t h e village If the change to nom-inating by the primary system is approved at the village election March 10.

The following were renominated with no oppoaltkm in a mirthful faahlon by an enthusiastic crowd numbering nearly 100:

Peter Speerstra, President; Louie Kinvsley, Clerk; Mrs. Esther Fahr* HV. Treasurer: William Chrfsile**-sen, W. A. Roth and Lawrence Ruiherford, ' Trustees; Frank Free-man, Assessor.*

The value of a primary system was evident at this caucus when many village eltiaens were led to believe that there were several eaa-d Ida tee for offices and that they would attempt to be nominated over the Incumbents who had de-clared publicly their IntenUoae at a small poorly attended caacae.

Backers Thumping Eisenhower Drums Ask Endorsements

Michigan Preae Newa Service Michigan began reverberating

last week to tho thump of Elsen-hower drums as various backers In the state trotted out a likeness of the general, began tightening or> ganlzatlons and belts and collect-ing pledges for funds.

Ta f t has made a quick visit to the state and Kefeuver dropped in to say a brief hello. But this will be the first really full scale drive in Michigan. It Is In the hands of Arthur H, Vandenberg, Jr.. son of the late senator and now organis-ing director of the Elnaenhower movement.

In Grand Rnpids, Arthur's bail-iwick. he met with leaders of the statewide Eisenhower committee members and they worked out de-tails. By now the Grand Rapids procedure Is being repeated all over the state to collect enough en-dorsements to tip the scales against Taft . who has been doing ra ther well In the midwest.

Now there comes spocuIaMon on whether Ike will return to this country to campaign. If he d o e s a t according to more than one source, he won't stand a chance against Taft . And If Ta f t doean't win the nomlnetlon on the first vote, pre-dicts these same sources, Grey Horse MacArthur may get It.

A new twiat on an old story. Michigan each year la cheated out of f rom $500,000 to $1,000,000 In ciff-aret taxes by bootleggers operating between Detroit and St. Louis, Mo. Michigan haa a three cents per package tax. St. Louis haa none.

Deportment of revenue says boot-legging clgareta la being held to a atandstlll. at least, through In-creased acUvity of Ita workers and making the offense a felony. Pr ior to last June offenders usually were given 60 to 90 deya In jalL Two men recently sentenced pulled pris-on terms of five montha to five years and nine months to five years.

The revenue depanment is a f ra id ot the clgaret bootlegging potential. Clgarets arc more profitable ($5,000 per load and two loads a week) ancT more easy to handle than liquor was during prohibition.

Sen. Alpheus P. Decker of Dcck-en i l l e sat the chamber back on its heels when he blasted Detroit aa a "hotbed of un-American" thinking" while opposing legislation to reap-portion the state on a strict popula-tion basis. "Perhaps it was a pret-ty strong statement just at this tinTe." the senator said later. He says now he thinks there has been improvement in Detroit since 1930.

Michigan'*! mental hospitals are overflowing and inadequate—a fact generally known. But the lateet figure from the department of health says they are 22 percent overcrowded. Some 30,000 pafTents are under state care.

Detroit is battling over a pro-posal to substitute the medical ex-aminer system for the coroner set-up now in effect. Nsw York, which h&s the medical examiner program, says a complete medical Investiga-tion of a case costs only $5 and saves the state thousands of dollars in rcchecking cases, witness feee and prolonged criminal Investiga-tions.

The federal civil dafansa admin-istration warns Michigan citizens against being taken In by racke-teers who sell guaranteed "radia-tion proof overalls" and the like. FCDA says that even If genuinely protective clothing would be de-vised probably no one would be wearing It a t the right time.

Michigan's birth rate is playing hob with its schools. Some 170,000 babies were born last year as com-pared with 99.000 In 1940. School officials say they will get 109.000 new pupils next fall while seats are needed already for 108.000 now in overcrowded facilities.

After vowing to the preaa a feer weeks ago t h a t he had been cured of the "politics bug," Eugene C. Keyes has turned his back on bis pious resolutions and declared him-self In the U. S. senate race. On 1

what ticket? Why the indepen* dent-progresslve-Republlcan slate, of course. Keyes* last billboard campaign fizzled miserably.

Michigan taxpayers laat yaef paid out $4,909,900,000 In federal, state and local taxes last ye&Ti This compared with $3,484,010 la 1950, the largest Increase In historyi according to the department of rev-enue. The tax load in Michigan has Increased lU-fold alnce 1930.

The emergency commisaion on defense contracts has moved ou Washington in an effort to alle-viate the jobless situation in Mich-igan's Indust ra l areas. Current alms arc to sei up plana to estab-lish Industrial subcommittees to help plants get contracts. All mar jor employers have been asked to submit quarterly estimates on pro-jected employment so the commis-sion and ita subcommittees can work ahead to forestall future criaes.

Many plants and trees absorb food through their leaves. This discovery opens up possibili-ties of larger, faster-growing crops by apply-ing additional fertilizer as a spray. Michigan SUlt College Agricultural Experiment Station Is studying ways of making leaf feeding prac-tical to the average grower. Among plants which respond readily to nutrition through their leaves are tomato, celery and corn, as well as apple trees. Best results have been obtained by spraying relatively low concentra-tions of plant food during the spring and early summer. As more Information Is obtained.

Police Post, will speak on fire pro-tection and fire extinguishers, film, "By Jupiter," on public rela-tions prepared especially for Mar-shall Field, will be shown and Miss Ruth Warncke, county librarian, will lead the general discussion which will cover the film and other subjects of general interest.

We are still anxious to get more substitute teachers particularly in the north and southeast. We have a surplus of high school teachers particularly in English and His-tory but there exists a shortage in elementary and especially in ru-ral scnools. High school certificates are not valid in elementary grades but sometimes those who have aec;-ondiry certificates can get started on a substitute basis and work in-to a regular position. ' Michigan law now requires all

governmental units to carry Work-mens Compensation or the equiv-alent regardless of the number of employees. The minimum premium is $12.00 per year. No district can afford to he without it since pay-ments could be ruinous as in tha case of one district which was re-quired by court order to pay $50 per month for seventeen years.

The Community Concert drive for the coming year will start March 10. If you are interested In fine music there should be some one near you to ' take your mem-bership of | 5 for five concerts.

The Michigan Education Associ-ation will celebrate ita 100th birtli-day on April 14 to 17 In Detroit. Many teachers and former teach-ers will want to attend the fine programs and see the exhibits.

Dalatra

By Gerald R. Ford, Jr . There waa high drama on Cap-

itol Hill laat week and It didn't In-volve legialatlve m a t t e r a . The principles In a single act provided a tense and solemn spectacle which agitated much speculation and cur-iosity among newsmen and specta-tors alike who flocked to the Katyn committee public hearings, the first in history to present a masked Wit-ness.

The select House committee un-der the chairmanahip of Rep. Ray Madden of Indiana was carrying on its hearings In an attempt to discover exactly who la the villlan In the caae of 10,000 Polish offlcera massacred in the Katyn Forest in 1989.

This particular incident waa a cloak and dagger affair with a twist. The ctoak was substituted by a cylindrical-shaped mask de-signed to diaguiae the Polish prla-oner of war eye-witnesa to the maas murder. Replacing the dag-ger was a Russian pistol which, the hooded witneaa explained, waa the type of gun used on the victims be-fore they were thrown into the gravea. The witness spoke through an Interpreter. Roman Pticlnski, a reporter from the Chicago Sun, who la now on leave of absence from his paper to act aa investigat-or and interpreter for the commit-tee. Under an extreme emotional strain, thia unuaual witness admit-ted that he had withheld hla atory until he cculd reveal it to the prop-er authorities in thia cov.ntry to which he had pledged hia loyalty. Doubtlesa, the myaterious and omlnoua aapect of the former pris-oner of the Russians aa well aa the violence of hia atory set the mood for the startling declarations which were to follow.

At the first hearing held on Oct. 11, 1951 shortly after eatabliahment of the seven member committee, L t Col. DOnald B. Stewart testified that following hia capture by the Germans In 1943 he waa taken to a prison camp where he first heard shout Katyn. Despite the fact that the officers showed definite reluc-tance, the Germans demanded that Col. VanVllet who teatifled later, and Lt Col. Stewart ahould make a tour of Investigation of the Katyn graves.

Both Col. VanVUet and L t CoL Stewart testified that at t.ie scene of the massacre, they eatimated the number dead in the three open graves "about the alxe of awimmlng poola" at about 10,000. VanVllet and Stewart aaid that while the Germans attempted to vindicate themselves of the murders, the Americans who had "volunteered" for the tours, refused to accept the proofs which the Germans offered. However, almost to a man the wit-nessea stated they had formed opinions severally that the Russian Communist leaders were respon-sible for the murders.

Henry Caasidy, foreign corres-pondent in Moscow when the gravea were discovered, cancelled a trip to London to report on the death of King George and the pro-clamation of the new queen in or-der tc be preaent for questioning by the cqmmittee. Hia frank re-port confirmed the opinlona of the American Army officers. Since no impartial investigation had been permitted previously and since those who visited the gravea had no way of proving the "evidence" shown by the Germans, the observ-ers were reluctant to accept aa true anything they were told and per-sisted in making their own obser-vations.

Father Leopold Braun, chaplain to American Catholica in Moscow, waa a moat favorable witness. Hla responses to questions were accu-rate, definite, and excellently pre sented. His well-defined tones rang through the committee chamber aa he accused the NKVD of utter ruthleaanesa. "Noone", he said "who waa captared by the NKVD, generally speaking, lives to tell of hla experiences." Father Braun outlined Russia'a gBiwral policy to "decapitate the beads of the na-tlona they wiah to deatroy", the genocide deplored by the commit-ted.

Two American military officers, three escaped priaoners (one Poliah colonel who himself escaped the fate of the others atTLatyn by an "accident"), an ambassador, a Catholic prieat and a preaa correa-pondent have presented their tes-tlmoniea. There haa been no sig-nlflccnt dlacrepancy In their stor-ies. Mr. Pucinaki states that wit-nesaes are clamoring to give their information to the committee, in-cluding a grave-digger fordWy em-ployed by the Russians to bury alive some of the Poliah officers.

The major point at iaaue in thia whole matter la that not only the Pnlea have been violated but the whole human race, it can ieavc uo doubt in our minda aa to the type of barbariana with which we are dealing In both diplomatic and mil-itary affairs. It waa mentioned several times during the hearinga that ft la almoat impossible for civ-Ulxed Americana to imagine either the fact of thia treacheroua staying or the kind ofl people who could be guilty of auch atrocities.

The hearinga will resume about In the meantime the

Latest information on LP-gaa or liquefied petroleum gaa ia now available to farmers . The figures on ooat. performance and other vital points have been collected by W. M. Carelton, of the Michigan State College agricultural engineer-ing department.

Carelton haa put this InformaUon into pr in t^Lform in extenaion fold-er, F-164. The folder ia available a t the county extension office or may be ordered from the bulleUn office a t the college in E a s t Lan-sing. Farmers are finding many new uses for the product. Cook-

However, Carieton explains that most of theee uses require a high volume in the winter with summer consumption much lower. Produc-e r s are trying to encourage ita use

Buick even keeps the Sun In its Place

Of course, this new glass-which reduces glare and

incoming sun-heof— is a Buick feature in '52

WITH all the new things we've had to talk about in 1952 Buicks, we're just getting

• around to this one. •

It'e called "Easy-Eye Glass"t-a new kind of glass with a cool, soft, blue-green tint, which filters the sun's rays entering your car-cuts

- down their glare and heat.

\bu*U appreciate the "glare control" at any time - and when you hit your first stretch of

| hot-weather driving you'll find that this glass does a great job of keeping the heat out of your lap.

We know-because thousands of happy Buick owners already have this new comfort feature. The rest of the automobile industry is just beginning to discover what Buick discovered a year ago. It's a great idea, which costs you very little extrff if you order it when you're buying a new car.

B u t this n'it. leaves the other folks with a lot of catching up to do.

You'll look a long way beforeyou'll find anything so completely satisfying as Dynaflow Drive.*

You'll fincftt hard to match the style and beauty and harmonious good taste of a 1952 Buickff interior trim and fabrics.

And when it comes to what you get for what you pay - we'll gladly match price tags with the field.

Ttees* Shrtdb» Add Balance and Beauty By Harlow O. Whittemer*

Prof >r of Land scapa Architecture Univtraity of Michigan

' - r - k^frhes shew proper landscapinc of an older horaat

The architecture of your house and its various lawn and garden features must be carefully analyzed aa to form, color and texture if you hope to achieve a proper and pleaaing balance.

Maybe yours Is one of those tall old-fashioned houses with high roofa, doors and windows to cor-respond. This waa thought necea-sary because of the narrow lots on which they were built. You can make it appear lower by planting very tall trees near it. and by plac-ing tall shrubs and evergreens near the foundation. If the house walls are of brick or stone, you can use tall growing vinea to counteract the height of tho house.

Add Horizontal Linea Proper balance suggests odding

be achieved by the uso of such features as a terrace or flal-lype porch roof, and trees with horizon-tal branches near by, in addition to the taller trees already mentioned. Also it is desirable to carry hedges right and left from such a house. The hedges should be fairly high and should be carried over to the boundary line and then forward a reasonable distance along the boun-dary-. To get through the hedge, you can either have a clipped arch-way or a wooden doorway.

these are brick or stone, will alao help tie your house to the ground. If there is a terrace, it could be made of similar material. In place of a hedge you could use a wooden fence or stone or brick walls. A porch-like car-port can often be added to even an old-type house with very beneficial results to the appearance of the house and the convenience of the car owner.

DID RITA FAIL THE ALY KHAN?

Waa Rita Hayworth lacking In understanding when she married the Aly Khan? Read Elsa Max-well's viewb in this Sunday's (Feb. 94) issue of The American Weekly. CKolusively with The Detroit Sun-day Times. Learn what happened when the Aly. Rita knew as a play-boy, suddenly assumed the serious role of religious leader t« nearly 100,000,000 Ismaili Moslems.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH

"Oh, tell ma," inquired the ro-mantically inclined o l d maid, "When did you first become ac-quainted with your husband?"

Young bride: "The first t ime I asked him for money a f t e r we were married," was the instant reply.

Because It haa not been a sub-ject of controveray, on* of tha most important and beneficial re-sults obtained through tha new highway leglalatlon in Michigan is little known. The new leglala-tlon provides for the coordination of all highway planning and con-struction on a statewide baala.

The state trunkllnes could not serve Michigan adequately with-out the feeder streets and rural highways which form the access

All three sections of highways, as now correlated by the new high-way legislation, form the Import-ant over-all highway ayatem of our state. No one section of the aya-tem la sufficient unto Itself.
