Wise Among Leading

Circuit Candidates

His role as referee for 12
years of the traffic and ordi-
nance division of Detroit Rec-
orders Court has elevated John
M. Wise as a leading candidate
in Monday's Primary Election
for Circuit Judge.
Known more commonly as
Detroit Traffic Court, the two
Judges hear all traffic viola-
tions under
state law, and
t h e five ref-
erees hear traf-
fic and miscel-
laneous viola-
tions o f city
ordinances.
In Wise's

Wise
docket runs be-
tween 50 and 60 cases, and there
are more when he presides
every fifth week. That adds up
to 15,000 defendants appearing
before him each year.

Yet, he has built a reputation
for sympathetic understanding
with first and minor offenders,
while dealing sternly with
flagrant traffic violators, slum
a n d sub-standard landlords,
short-weight and short-measure
merchants and others who vic-
timize the public.

Wise, who became a lawyer
26 years ago after graduating
from Wayne State University
Law School, is recognized as
playing a leading • role in the
city-wide effort that brought
Detroit the 1956 National Safety
award as the safest big city in
the country.
