▪ Gitlins' Appeal:
`Return Miriani
to the Council'
"In the best interests of our
community, it is vital that Louis
C. Miriani be returned to the
Common Council, Dr. Charles
Gitlin and Esther
Gitlin urged in
an appeal issued
this week.
The Gitlins,
long-time friends
of the former
councilman a n d
mayor, stated
that they have
organized a com-
mittee to work
for Miriani's
election.
"Our campaign
is in the cause
of good govern-
Miriani merit," Dr. and
Mrs. Gitlin said. "We need ex-
perienced men in the Council and
Miriani is the most experienced of
all. We need him in the Council
and we must call him back to
public service quickly."
Grand Jury Probe
on 'Fix' Object of
Gordon Petition
•
Lou Gordon, practicing Detroit
attorney and candidate for Traffic
Court judge, filed a petition in cir-
cuit Court for a grand jury in-
vestigation into the Wayne COun-
ty Sheriff's Road Patrol-fixing
scandal. The petition was delayed
for decision upon the request of
Attorney General Frank Kelley.
This is probably the first time
in legal history that a citizen has
filed for a grand jury. Gordon's
petition was based upon informa-
tion from the admissions of the
sheriff's deputies who fixed traf-
fic tickets.
Gordon said he filed the petition
as a concerned citizen and can-
didate for Traffic Court judge who
is vitally interested in traffic
safety.
Gordon's complaint alleged that
the whole process of law enforce-
ment in Wayne County, as it
relates to traffic -laws, is in
jeopardy by the violations which
have been illegally sponged from
the records of the court.

Mary Ball, Veteran Detroit Publicist, Runs for Council
Mrs. Mary Ball, 15892 Rose-
mont, has promised to make every
effort to bring Common Council
sessions periodically to various De-
troit communities if elected to the
Council.
Mrs. Ball, a veteran senior publi-
cist for the city, currently on leave
of absence to direct the foreign
visitor program for the Interna-
tional Institute, said she believes
"some of our problems today stem
directly from a breakdown in com-
munications between the citizens
and city officials. I would make
every effort, if elected, to have
Council meetings held at least once
a month in neighborhood centers."
Mrs. Ball began as a part-time
playground leader in 1944 while
still a student at Wayne State
University. From 1949 until last
year she served as a publicist for
the city, working at one time or
another with all 34 city depart-
ments.

Against Assessment Increases

u
ORD N
Blanche Parent Wise, seeking
a return to the Detroit Common
Council where she served for
eight years previously, charges
that the proposed increase in
assessments on homes built before
1942, only nominal, would affect
not only city taxes but would con-
stitute actually a three-way in-
crease. She reminded voters that
the county tax and the school tax
are based on city assess valuations.
Mrs. Wise believes that prop-
erty owners, who so long have
borne the bulk of the tax burden,
deserve some reduction of their
heavy load, especially when an
income tax is imposed.
