Fair Bail Policy
Urged by Shevitz

Fairer bail policy and a quick
end to "fast-draw" trials in crimi-
nal cases have been urged by Sid-
ney M. Shevitz, veteran Detroit
attorney who has entered the race
for Recorder's Court judge.
Shevitz presently is a member
and secretary of the Michigan Civil
Rights Commission and a member
of the State Human Resources
Council. He was appointed by Gov-
ernor Williams to both the Fair
Employment Practices Commission
FEPC, forerunner of the present
Election Practices Committee. He
was the first chairman of the
FEPC, forerunner of the present
Civil Rights Commission.
Shevitz already has won en-
dorsements from the Wayne Coun-
ty AFL-CIO and five Democratic
congressional districts.
He has been personally endorsed
by Detroit area colleagues of the
Civil Rights Commission, including
Co-chairman - John Feikens and
Damon J. Keith and the Rev. A. A.
Banks Jr.; William T. Gossett, for-
mer vice president and - general
counsel of Ford Motor Co.; Mrs.
Frank W. Wylie; and Richard E.
Cross, former chairman of Ameri-
can Motors Corp.
Shevitz' work in human rela-
tions has earned him, among .other
honors, the "Citation of Apprecia-
tion" of St. Cyprian's Protestant
Episcopal Church; the "Distin-
guished Service to the Community"
award of the Detroit Workmen's
Circle; and the "Amity Award" of
the Detroit Women's Division of
the American Jewish Congress.
Shevitz, 57, is a graduate of Har-
vard Law School and the Univer-
sity of Michigan.
A prominent civic .leader, he was
president of- the Jewish Co_mmu-
nity Council from 1952 to 1955 and
again from 1963 to 1965.
A life-long Detroiter, •Shevitz
lives with his wife, the former
Edythe Shoob, and their three chil-
dren at 18300 Oak Drive.

Elliot Beitner Runs
for Recorder's Court

Elliot I. Beitner, a candidate for
judge of Recorder's Court (short
term) was rated "well-qualified"
by the judicial selection commit-
tee of the Detroit Bar Association.
This rating was the highest given
to any candidate seeking only the
short term Recorder's Court office.
Beitner, who received a juris
doctor degree from the Wayne
State University Law School in
1957, was editor-in-chief of the
Wayne Law Review and graduated
first in his class.
After graduation, he practiced
law with the labor law firm of
Zwerdling & Zwerdling. In 1958-60
he served as an assistant prosecut-
ing attorney for Wayne County.
He has also served as an instruc-
tor in legal research at Wayne
State University and as a profes-
sor of law at the Walsh Institute
of Accountancy.

Mrs. Bronstein
Pokes Much Fun
in Election Book

Mrs. Yetta Bronstein is a clever
lady. She has entered politics—in
a literary form—and she is pro-
viding much hilarious reading in
her book, "The President I Almost
Was," published by Hawthorn
Books (70 5th, NY11).
Here we have a combination of
satire, a form of campaigning that
has drawn in all her neighbors and
friends, the poking of fun at voters
and office-seekers.
Mrs. Bronstein hasn't left out
anyone. She is after Johnson's job,
she communicates with Barry Gold-
water, she draws in Nixon.
She offers a platform and here
is- what she proposes in thousands
of pamphlets after finding "a cheap
printer":
VOTE FOR YETTA BRONSTEIN
for
PRESIDENT OF THE U. S. A.
Independent candidate in 1964
Mrs. Bronstein's platform.:
1. Lowering voting age to 19.
2. Better government
3. Fluoridation
4. National bingo
5. Sex Education
6. Stronger government
R. I. of Detroit says: I plan to vote
for Mrs. Bronstein as President in
November because this country
needs a good housewife, a woman
leader and a strong mother.
Then, as a footnote to the let-
ter, under an asterisk, Mrs. Bron-
stein explains in her campaign
book:
"R. I. is my cousin Reuben the-
stein from Detroit, but he asked
me not to use his name on the-leaf-
let because he lives in Grosse
Pointe, Mich., a rich section, and
the neighbors all think he is a
Republican."
And so down the line Mrs. Bron-
stein pokes at all, draws laughs,
writes letters, quotes replies.
From beginning to end, there
are many laughs in this book. It's
the work of a smart lady who runs
a campaign in a book and thereby
will delight candidates who seek
lighter vein in their tense efforts
to win.
