WILLIAM M. ELLMANN

committee posts and has risen
from the ranks to the highest
office of the association,. composed
of over 10,000 lawyers.
Ellmann, the second youngest
president in State Bar history
and the first graduate of Wayne
State University Law School to
be elected president of the
Michigan Bar, has been a mem-
ber of the State Bar Commission
for seven years, having been ori-
ginally appointed by the Sup-
reme Court of Michigan in 1959
and reappointed in 1961 and
1965.
Since his original appointment
to the commission. Ellmann has
led the Michigan delegation in
Washington to argue professional
regulations before the Internal
Revenue Service. He authored the
State Bar resolution in 1962 which
defended the courts throughout the
country from abusive criticism. In
this respect, Michigan was the first
major bar association in the coun-
try to meet the issue with action.
One of the State Bar's strongest
proponents of the bar's emphatic

statement on civil rights issues,
Ellmann was also instrumental in
the bar's efforts in advocating the
creation of the new court of ap-
peals which went into effect in
1964.
Earlier this month, Circuit Court
Judge George E. Bowles of the
Third Judicial District, swore Ell-
mann in as one of three special
counsels to the Grand Juror
(Bowles) who is investigating al-
leged crime and corruption in
Wayne County.
During his tenure in office as
commissioner of the State Bar, Ell-
mann served as a special assistant
attorney general to study the use
of state troops in public emergen-
cies.
One of Ellmann's major con-
cerns has been in the area of men-
tal health. Through his urging and
direction the State Bar set up a
committee to review the proced-
ures on commitment, care and re-
lease of the mentally ill.
During World War II Ellmann
served in the Pacific theater as a
war correspondent with the Stra-
tegic Air Command.
Ellmann is a director of the In-
stitute for Continuing Legal Edu-
cation; a member of the American
Arbitration Association and a
member of the board of governors
of the Wayne State Law Alumni.
He is a board member of the Anti-
of the Jewish National und. He is
Defamation League and a member
also a director of Knollwood Coun-
try Club.
Married to the former Sheila E.
Frenkel, he has three children.
The son of Judge and Mrs.
James I. Ellmann, the newly-
elected president is a member of
the law firm headed by his father
and including his brother, Erwin
Ellmann.
Another brother, Prof. Richard
Ellmann of Northwest University,
came to Lansing to attend a dinner
in his brother's honor as a con-
cluding event of the annual meet-
ing.
Art Buchwald was the principal
speaker at the dinner. The con-
vention sessions were addressed
by prominent jurists and attor-
neys.

Try and Stop Me

By BENNETT CERF---,

A

LINCOLN GINSBERG, noted Israeli sage, was walk-
ing with his son down a country lane behind their
donkey, who was contentedly nibbling grass along the way.
A passerby, noting that
A. Lincoln and the boy
were perspiring freely,
suggested, "Why don't
you fellows ride the don-
key instead of walking?"
A. Lincoln accepted the
advice, but farther down
the lane another inhabi-
tant scoffed, "You should
be ashamed, making that
poor beast carry two

riders."
A. Lincoln dismounted
and let his son ride alone,

only to hear the next

man they met sigh, "That
boy should be ashamed, letting his poor fool of a father

walk in the heat while he rides in comfort."

So A, Lincoln got back on the donkey, and the son walked.
What this provoked from the NEXT man they met wax,
"Look at that selfish old man riding while his young son
has to walk!"
That's the point where A, Lincoln Ginsberg made his
famous observation, "You can't please any of the people
any of the time."

The author of a string of spectacular best-sellers consulted a
famous doctor who had been his classmate many years earlier
in public school. The doctor pronounced him physically fit, then
presented a whopping bill, commenting, "So now you're a world-
famous author! I remember that's what you always aimed to be
when you were a kid in school. Me, I wanted to be a pirate."

The author glanced at his bill, then murmured admiringly,
s Congrats, old man! You too have realized your ambition!"
