WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 196$ THE MICHIGAN DAILY FAGE THREE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE Atty.-Gen. Race: Controversy on Crime Question EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec- ond in a five-part series on the ma- jor statewide races in the Nov. 8 election. It deals with the candi- dates for attorney general. By The Associated Press The little-known c a n d i d a t e struggles for recognition against the apparently popular incumbent. And. while he tries to familiarize the public with his name, the in- cumbent makes news almost at will through the activities of his key state office. And to top it all off, polls show that the incumbent with a margin political observers consider almost too comfortable. Democratic challenger Zolton Ferency versus Gov. George Rom- ney? No: Republican challenger Lawr- ence Lindemer versus Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley. In the race to head Michigan's largest firm, the big issue this year is crime. Kelley points to the record four grand juries he has asked for and been granted in the past 14 months as evidence of a strong, vigorous campaign against organ- ized crime. Lindemer uses the same evi- dence in his attempt to show Kel- ley's fight against crime increased in intensity in inverse ratio to the lenght of the time left before the election. The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the state. Heading a staff of some 85 lawyers he also serves as the primary and official legal advisor to state officials and county pros- ecutors. Romney and the Legislature must turn to Kelley for interpre- tations of their powers and duties and rulings on the meaning and effect of new state laws. Frank J. Kelley Kelley, seeking his third elected term, has made use of the built- in public forum his offile provides. His most recent pronouncements included recommended legislation aimed at ending the mounting motorcyclist and an announce-' ment that he will fight to keep the death and accident toll involving govet nment from splitting Mich- igan's Upper and Lower Penin- sulas between Eastern and Central time zones. He points to consumer protec- .tion legislation based on ground- work done by his office and rec- ommendations he has made. Among them was ,a new code reg- ulating hearing aid sales. Kelley has asked for more grand juries than any previous attorney' general: two in Wayne County to investigate alleged ticket fixing, organized crime and corruption in government, one in Oakland to in- vestigate horse racing and one in Kent to probe charges that meat from uninspected and unlicensed slaughterhouses was reaching the consumer. The 41-year-old former Detroit lawyer who went to Alpena in 1954 to become a "bigger fish in a smaller pond," frequently points with pride to another record he has set since becoming the largest fish in the Michigan legal com- munity. Only one of the 575 opinions he has hanged down since he was appointed in 1961 has been over- turned in court. Kelley's activities extend into virtually every field of Michigan and Midwest life. These include the St. Lawrence Seaway, Great Lakes water diversion and pollu- tion and even the 1835 "Toledo War," which still smolders in a Michigan-Ohio boundary dispute in Lake Erie. Kelley serves as first vice presi- dent of the National Association of Attorneys General, and is due for the presidency next year. He won his first election, in 1962, by 118,000 votes and the 1964 election by 569,000. Lawrence B. Lindemer Lindemer, a Stockbridge lawyer and former Republican state chairman is asking Kelley-pri- marily for the benefit for the voters-why the fight against crime happened to gain such mo- mentum so soon before an elec- tion. It follows four years of relative calm on the crime-busting front, he says. Kelley, he says, was too inac- tive too long in the fight, and he wasted much of his time in the past feuding with Romney. The spotlight of publicity turned by Kelley on the West Michigan met investigation may have open- ed loopholes for the defendants, Lindemer says. And then there was Kelley's visit to the apartment of Angelo Meli, alleged Mafia member, in Florida last winter. Kelley was guilty of "incredibly bad judg- ment," the challenger says. Kelley says Meli invited him to the apartment- to object to what he felt was a too-frequent linking of one nationality group with or- ganized crime. Kelley adds he accepted the in- vitation to keep open potentially useful channels of information. Lindemer served one term in the VIichigan Senate, 1951-52, and headed the state's Republican or- ganization from 1956 to 1961. A native of Syracuse, N.Y., he moved to Michigan shortly after his marriage and received his law degree from the University of Michigan. Lindemer, 45, practices law in Lansing and heads the local tele- phone company in nearby Stock- bridge. Strong Show Of Koreans t Given Praise Johnson Draws Viet, Korean War Parallel In Seoul Parliament SEOUL, South Korea (P)-Pres- ident Johnson ended his Asian journey yesterday by pointing to Korea as an example for American determination to succeed in Viet Nam. The Korean War showed the Communists "choose peace only when they know that military success is beyond their reach," Johnson told the Korean National Assembly. It was the last major speech on foreign soil of the 17-day trip that took the President to seven na- tions to examine prospects of con- tinued war or peace in Southeast Asia. Lunches With GIs The address wound up final hours in which Johnson lunched with GIs manning the Korean front, gave a helicopter ride to a surprised village elder and pre- dicted "a new lease on hope" will come to the underprivileged mil- lions in Asia. He is due back in Washington on Wednesday night, Washington W time ,after an overnight stop at Anchorage, Alaska. In his prepared address to the Korean National Assembly, John- son said "I have seen, listened and learned much on this trip," citing "solid agreement", among the seven Viet Nam allies at the Ma- nila conference,, sympathy for conference aims in Malaysia and a surge toward Asian economic progress. Parallels Viet Nam But the thrust of his remarks sought to draw a forceful paral- lel between Korea and Viet Nam. When the United States got in- volved in Korea's anti-Communist war in 1950, he said, few Amer- icans could locate this ancient na- tion on the map. Moreover, he went on: "We were told that there could be no successful outcome to a 'dirty little war' in Asia." And today, he declared, we can see "one of the truly dramatic stories of our times-the trans- formation of a nation within a generation." The President, eager to focus public attention back home on the r problems of Asia, has cited that as 'a principal reason of his ardu- ous 31,000-mile journey. He said he was leaving the con- tinent "with a deep sense of con- fidence in the future of Asia and the Pacific." Troops to Stay Johnson said "the United States has no plan to reduce the present level of U.S. forces in Korea, and would continue to support Korean armed forces at levels adequate to ensure Korea's security." Some 50,000 U.S. troops are still in South Korea as an aftermath of the bitter war. Johnson's pledge was contained in a 12-point communique issued after he met for an hour with Korean President Chung Hee Park. The two leaders also agreed that "the growing strength of the Com- munist forces in the northern part of Korea and of the Chinese Com- munists remained a major threat to the security of the Republic of Korea and neighboring areas."

This attack ap- parently was to divert attention during the Saigon shelling. There were no government casualties in the outpost attack, as the Com- munists were driven off. Viet Cong's National Day marks the overthrow of the late Presi- dent Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963. The U.S. psychological warfare section was preparing leaflets deb crying the shelling of Saigon to be dropped from the air over both North and South Viet Nam. A spokesman said the leaflets would assail what he termed the "murder of the innocents" and would point out "the desperation of the Viet Cong in seeking to re- vive its flagging prestige." The bombardment, which in- cluded 24 rounds of recoilless rifle fire, also hit Saigon's Roman Catholic Cathedral, a Catholic school, the John F. Kennedy Square, the Saigon central market and the frenshabuilt Grall Hos- pital, the biggest in the capital. HOSPITAL EVACUATED Patients of the Olive View Hospital near Sylmar, California, wait for evacuation as an out-of- control brush fire swept through the hills some 25 miles northwest of Los Angeles, threatening the 600 occupants of the hospital. Another hospital was evacuated as firemen battled to control the blaze. PRESIDENT'S MOVE NEXT: Board Proposes 5 Per Cent Wage Boost for Pan Ameriean WASHINGTON OP)-A Presi- dential emergency board posed a tough political and economic quandary for President Johnson by recommending yesterday a hef- ty hike in wages and fringe bene- fits in the Pan American World Airways labor dispute. The board recommended 5 per cent wage boosts and various im- provements in fringe benefits for some 12,000 Pan Am workers. This is almost identical with a previous airline settlement branded as "clearly inflationary" by chief White House economist Gardner Ackley. Since the union cannot strike for another 30 days, Johnson could wait until after the elections be- fore endorsing or disapproving the Pan Am recommendations. Or he could simply pass the recommen- dations on to company and union without comment. Informed sources estimated the total value of the board's Pan Am recommendations at about 6.5 per per cent, the same as the last month's American Airlines pact denounced by Ackley.' The AFL-CIO Transport Work- ers is the union involved in both cases. Substantial Settlement The emergency board appointed by Johnson in the Pan Am dispute conceded that previous airlines settlements involved substantial increases "particularly for a per- iod of severe inflationary pressures in the economy." But the board added it would "clearly be impractical" to recom- mend a substantially lesser settle- ment than the 6.5 per cent the Transport Workers Union won from American Airlines. The board said its recommenda- tion in the Pan Am case would "not add substantially to infla- tionary pressures."- Ackley has been the chief pro- ponent of the White House wage guideline, which he insists is still for a limit of 3.2 per cent yearly in labor contract increases despite a rash of recent settlements of 5 per cent or more. Ackley disputes the contentions or organized labor that the guide- line is dead. The Pan Am case caps a year of labor ferment in the airlines industry which included a 42-day strike by AFL-CIO machinists against five airlines in which Johnson's prestige in settling big labor disputes was signed for the first time. The machinist slapped down one settlement proposal engineered in the White House and struck for nearly three more weeks before winning increases estimated be- tween 5 and 8 per cent. Ackley called the settlement "excessive." The airlines labor troubles be- came the focus for the adminis- tration's rearguard attempts to defend its 3.2 per cent wage limit guideline, and the machinists, in the worst airlines strike in U.S. history, were the first major group to make a substantial break- through. now 336,000 men in Viet Nam, not couting about 50,000 seamen off- shore in vessels of the 7th Fleet. This compares with 148,300 in South Viet Nam a year ago and with 327,000 in-country troops in Korea at the peak of that con- flict. Sources also foresaw a contin- uing increase in the U.S. commit- ment to the war after the first of the year to well beyond 400,000. The expansion of the military has been accompanied by corre- sponding increases in the draft. During the past six months, draft calls have averaged over 34,000. October's was 49,300, the highest. manpower request since Korea. Christmas Respite Only 12,100 men are being sought for December but the Pen- tagon has said it expects draft calls to go back to around 33,000 in January. The December call is low because of Christmas. No men will be inducted during the last two weeks of the month. In the final analysis, the build- up decision hinges on what mili- tary officials believe will be need- ed to overcome the Communists in Southeast Asia. U.S. Navy river patrol boats and armed helicopters destroyed 431 Communist sampans in a three- hour engagement Monday night on the My Tho river 47 miles southwest of Saigon, the U S. Command reported. A spokesman said there were no American casu- alties and only light damage to the equipment. Communist casual- ties were not known. The early morning bombard- ment of Saigon came from a point 3%/ miles southeast of the capital, but when U.S. gunship helicopters, artillery spotter planes and a ground force of allied troops closed in on the area, they found nothing. Floats The parade featured lighted floats which wound around the central market place, one of the areas hit in the morning attack.

EAST LONDON, South Africa- Prime Minister John Vorster said yesterday night South Africa will continue to administer the man- dated territory of South-West Africa in spite of the U.N. resolu- tion depriving South Africa of the mandate. Vorster said the U.N. resolution "simply had no foundation in in- ternational law." Vorster's reactionto the U.N. decision to place the giant terri- tory under U.N. responsibility last Thursday, is the first from the South African government.
