Judge Geo. Kent

Elected to Work
for Legislature
Irving H. Wiener announces his
candidacy for State Representative for M. E. Peace
Judge George B. Kent of the
Common Pleas Court this week
gave his reasons for his candidacy
for the Recorder's Court.
Describing his background as
an assistant prosecuting attorney
for 131!9 years, Judge Kent stated
that his familiarity with the
court's procedures as a result of
his experiences lead him to be-
lieve he is qualified to assist in
implementing the recent changes
in substantive and procedural
law." He added:
"If elected I shall endeavor to
make necessary changes in proba-
tion procedures so as to include
the possibility of a rehabilitation
program of offenders, so that they
may become useful citizens in our
society, rather than, as present,
having merely a report system
that is somewhat lacking in super-
visory control of the individual.
"The present system of the pro-
duction line type of 'handling'
misdemeanor cases does not offer
an opportunity for the granting
of a proper trial or hearing of
these matters. nor the opportunity
of the Judge to make a proper de-
termination and/or sentence at
the conclusion. I intend to rec-
ommend that the so-called Early
Sessions and Domestic Relations
dockets be split and assigned to
two Judges, rather than one as
at present.
"I advocate and will move for
the institution of a Public De-
fender system for indigent per-
sons, rather than the present as-
signment system of entrusting hu-
man lives to perhaps young and
inexperienced lawyers who do not
have the time, energy, know-how,
or investigative machinery avail-
able to them to properly defend
the rights of individuals involved
in such serious matters."

"I have sworn, if I'm elected, -
that I would pressure the U.N.
and our own U.S. Congress to
create a permanent commission to
effect a permanent peace in the
Middle East, guaranteeing the
stability and sovereignty of Israel."
This statement is contained in
the 12-point platform of Sam A.
Saide who is running on the Demo-1

16 years in political life. is one of
the most outspoken Democrats in

"I have chosen to run in this
race because I want to give the
people of my district what they
need and what others have failed
to give us until now—and that's
representation in Washington."
Saide explained that the most
important thing that has taken
place in the Middle East is the
creation of Israel, adding: "It has

Jack Faxon, Democratic candi-
date for the nomination from the
15th Legislative District, indicated
that one of his chief concerns in
this campaign is adequate state
support of education.
Faxon, who is a high school
teacher of American government
and history, has been with the
Detroit Public Schools since 1956
and has been active in many edu-
cational organizations.
During the Michigan Constitu-
tional convention of 1961-62, Fax-
on served as a member of the edu-
cation committee and was not only
the only delegate there to have had
a perfect attendance record but
also offered more proposals on
education than any of the other
members.
Faxon stated: "Today, more than
ever before, we must have people
representing us in Lansing who
are aware of the great problems
that presently confront public edu-
cation. The problem of inadequate
schools for the growing population
requires a concentrated program
whose cost cannot and should not
be borne alone by those persons
paying property taxes. The State
must be prepared to recognize the
special problems of education in
Detroit and to make the additional'
compensations necessary to ma
an educational program that would
be meaningful to our young-
people."
Faxon continued to stress the
need for a curriculum that woul
prepare all young people for gain-
ful employment.
"Presently," he stated, "t
many are graduating without a
educational
strong
sufficiently
background to enable them to meet
the requirements for regular em-
ployment."
