Business Good okesman for the city's top er a m o n g department stores said "it has been surpris- ing how good business has been," but he declined to give any per- centage comparisons for before- and after-strike periods. Sports Special, a give-away daily sponsored by the Detroit Race Course, has supplemented general news coverage given by the Daily Press and Emergency Press. There have been many vexa- tions. Said one citizen: "One of your close friends' dies and you don't even know about it until after he's buried."; Death Notices A major funeral director agreed this wasn't far fetched. He said he suggested the Daily Press as a medium for carrying paid orbitu- ary notices, but insisted that half those he phoned in hadn't ap- peared. One Daily Press staffer said the' crush of advertising and a normal 10 p.m. close for a press run that begins sometime between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. in a job shop were re- sponsible. He explained the Daily Press had to be sandwiched be- tween the shop's normal commit- ments. Michigan just finished a state- wide election, complicated by a completely new alignment of both congressional and legislative dis- tricts. The strike came before reg- ular newspapers could report new congressional and legislative dis- tricts. Some people went to the polls without knowing who ,was running for what in his immed- iate district. James Clark, news director of, the Detroit News' WWJ Radio and WWJ-TV stations, said spe- cial programs were aired in at- tempts to explain the various pro- ance Revises School System e's secondary and higherj on systems were reorgan-' t week in an effort to pre- .e rising tide of students ir increasingly technical dustrialized country, the rk Times has reported. reforms, teemed "capital" nce by French President de Gaulle, were approved day by the cabinet. country's best-known ex- on, the baccalaureate, will ially affected by the major Since Napoleon instituted 08, this exam has capped secondary education. oo Many Applicants of the "bachet," as it is tailed, was done away with the system could not keep the number of applicants to pass it. ecent reform is part of a hat began in 1959.

Starting next. year the twoI parts of the exam will be replaced by one. Only students getting outstanding grades in the test will be admitted to the universities. Those with average grades will be allowed to continue in special- ized schools designed to train them for secondary posts in busi- ness, industry and the professions. Those students who do poorly will get a second chance at the test. When a student has finished his baccalaureate he is at about the junior-college level in the United States. License Two years at a university, and he will be able to obtain a "li- cense," the equivalent of a bache- lor's degree. A new diploma much like the master's degree has been instituted for two further years of studies, while the "aggregation," corresponding to a doctorate of philosophy, will be given for stud- ies beyond that point. Premier G e o r g e s Pompidou stressed to the cabinet that no-, posals. But Clark said such ex- planations "were just not suited to television, and on radio were even less effective." More than two-thirds of the 4,100 employes of the Free Press and News have been laid off be- cause of the strike. The Free Press shut down tight,' furloughing practically 100 per cent below those rating rank of editor or department head. The News has kept bookkeeping, ad- vertising and editorial employes on the payroll, but began this week paying for afour-day, in.- stead of five-day, week. Earlier the News had insisted that anyone with accumulated vacation time take it off. Neither the striking pressmen nor plate handlers have any money left in their strike funds, but Freeman Frazee, president of the local pressmen's union, esti- Imated his members are obtaining an average of two days a week voik in other shops around the City. Added publications and expand- ed shopper papers have made more jobs for pressmen and plate han- dlers. Normal crews in working shops are now required to give up at least one day's work so a striker can take his place. One pressman, who conceded he averaged, with overtime, better than $200 a week gross before the strike, told a reporter: "I'm not starving, but, let's face it, I've seen better times." 150 Placed in Jobs The Detroit Newspaper Guild estimated it has been able to place in jobs on the Daily Press and elsewhere 150 of its 370 idled members. Others are drawing ben- efits ranging from $20j to X65 a: week. The International Typograph- ical Union is paying its members $90 50 a week in benefits and al-+ lowing them to work one day a week without penalty.' Stereotyters are drawing $70 a week from their union, but cur every day of outside work they pick up they must forfeit one- fifth of their benefit. Audit Bureau of Circulation fig- ures for March 31 gave the News a daily circulation of 710,622 and a Sunday distribution of 941,614. For the Free Press the figures are 513,410 and 577,489, respectively. Associaied Press Political Writer WASHINGTON-Some Republi- can leaders who have stood apart or joined reluctantly in Sen. Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign are going after governorships in 1965 and 1966 in an effort to re- gain party control. While they aren't saying so pub- licly, prominent GOP figures who opposed Goldwater's nomination are almost all convinced that the Arizona senator will be defeated in November by Democratic Presi- dent Lyndon B. Johnson. , Even if he is, however, Gold- water will remain in control of the GOP national machinery which he and his conservative associates have taken over lock, stock and barrel. The moderates thus will face the problem of how to regain the party command they held at the presidential level intil Gold- water swept all before him at San Francisco. Impossible Task mm informnalconferences the moderates have agreed that it would be an almost impossible task to try to overturn conserva- tive control of the National Com- mittee, members of which were elected for four-year terms at the July nominating convention. But they see the possibility, through the election of Repubbli- can governors who share their, views, of making their weight felt in the direction of party affairs in the next four years and in the choice of a nominee in 1968., In line with this thinking, Sen. Clifford P. Case (R-NJ) has held. open the possibility that he might make the race for governor of New Jersey next year. California# Although it is two years ahead, Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif)' is reported considering the idea of seeking the governorship in California. The moderates have an ally in New York Gov. Nelson A. Rocke- feller or Sen. Jacob K. Javits I (R-NY) Sen. Clifford Case (R-NJ), left, and Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (R- Cal), have hinted they may seek governorships in their respective states in 1965 and 1966. They aim to wrest control of the Republican party machinery from Sen. Barry Goldwater, the Republican presidential nominee. In 1966 there are gubernatorial races in 33 states, in which Re- publicans now hold 13 offices. Only a few of these GOP state executives supported Goldwater for the nomination, while several openly opposed him. Re-Election Some of these governors can run for re-election and some, like Gov. William W. Scranton of Pennsyl- vania who went down to the wire against Goldwater at the conven- tion, are barred by state law from seeking further tenure. The Republican moderates are convinced that if Goldwater is defeated in November, they can sell the idea to state organizations that their candidates for governor will have to be more liberal than the Arizona senator to win., 8:30 ANN ARBOR HIGH TiCkets now on sale at the Disc Shop and Discount Records FRENCH MINISTER FOUCHET All education in France except Roman Catholic and other private schools is run by the government.
