I have repeatedly stated my position on apportionment. In brief I will sup- port any apportionment which allows the vote of any citizen anywhere in the state to count equally with that of any other citizen. I can accept nothing less. 2) My proposals for fiscal re- form, arrived at as a compromise following lengthy discussions, pro- vide for taxation on the ability to pay with relief for the most dis- criminated against, both as in- dividuals and corporate units. To the best of my knowledge my op- ponent has not offered his specific plans in this area but has talked only in general terms about relief for business. 3) Fiscal reform is the key to this problem, of course, but it would be mosthelpful if the hand- ful of rock-ribbed pessimists who keep the "bad business climate" fable circulating would adopt a more positive attitude. 4) My administration has achieved a good record of co- operation with legislators who are willing to reason. We have never hesitated to attempt to work out compromises. The problem here is in the veto bloc in the state Senate which refuses to budge from pre-conceived positions re- gardless of fact. I believe that this moss-back faction will find itself a minority following the election. 5) The major problem is fiscal refrom. Our other problems, in- creased services to our people in education, mental health, and similar fields, stem from our fis- cal confusion. We must begin to meet these needs because, in edu- cation for example, loss through delay can't be recovered. The Senate WAYNE-1st Charles N. Youngblood, Jr. (Detroit) William J.

Romney Bentley (Continued from Page 4B) they have accomplished what they have accomplished only through the indecision, caution and ac- commodation of their adversaries. On September 18, I specifically urged that the United States put an immediate sea blockade of Cuba into effect. I know when I did so that I would receive some criticism for making such a sug- gestion, but I felt that any criti- cism of me was worth it because of the importance I attached to my country's taking what I be- lieved to be the right approach. I believe the President made the proper move on October 22, 1962, in establishing the Cuban block- ade. It was a calculated risk, but I believe it will pay off in terms of the security of our nation. 5) There is no single most im- portant problem which will face the next Congress, but rather sev- eral clusters' of related problems. The welfare-state program will be re-submitted, of course, and it will be up to the Congress to find reasonable, safe alternatives to the Administration's high-spend- ing, centralizing programs in areas like health, education, agriculture. I have suggested alternative plans in each of these crucial areas, so that the people's legitimate needs will be met without sacrificing American independence and initia- tive. In foreign relations our need is simply stated: strength. The Unit- ed States is a great power, and her actions must be those which befit a great nation. There is an inti- mate link between domestic and foreign policy. Only as we are strong abroad can we be strong at home, and only as we are strong at home can we be strong abroad. GOVERNOR QUESTIONS 1)What is your opinion re- garding the Michigan supreme court's decision on reapportion- ment?. 2) Please outline brieby how your plan for fiscal reform is more advantageous than your opponent's? 3) What specific measures, besides fiscal reform, do you feel would aid the business climate in Michigan? 4) How do you feel that the relationship between the gov- ernor and the Legislature can, best be handled in order to achieve cooperation? 5): Please state briefly what you consider to be the major problems facing Michigan in the next few years? Staebler (Continued from Page 4B) in certain captive or neutral coun- tries. 5) I believe that President Ken- nedy has dramatically and deci- sively answered this question for us. His action has resulted in the most crushing defeat to Nikita Khrushchev since the cold war began. This was accomplished without armed conflict; without sinking a ship, and without bombing or in- vading Cuba. It is a diplomatic and military victory which has been acclaimed by our allies and accepted by world opinion. The President maintained that we could not justify a move against Cuba until there was clear evidence that offensive missiles were being set up. The United States with evidence only of thendefensive arming of Cuba could not have held the sup- port of its Latin American allies- the Organization of American States-or of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for such a move. When the United States block- ade was imposed this country had the unanimous backing of the hemispheric support. It had the OAS - an incredible display of backing of our NATO allies, who a week earlier had balked at our proposed war materials boycott. COUNTY CANDIDATES Prosecuting Attorney: William F.

Davis (Onondaga) IONIA Holden Cook (Ionia) .................. Rep. Lloyd Gibbs (Portland) 1) The supreme court decision has been subject to widespread misinterpretation for political rea- sons. The court's decision was simply that the 1952 amendment added to the Michigan Constitu- tion prescribing frozen state sen- ate districts violated the "equal protection" clause of the United States Constitution. My opponent and his appointed attorney gener- al joined the complainant, Gus Scholle, in mis-reading into this decision the view that straight head-count is the only acceptable method for apportionment of all legislative bodies. The Michigan supreme court has never said this and the United States Supreme Court has never said this. In fact, Justice Stewart r e f e r r e d to straight head-count as a "new and novel concept." I agree that the 1952 senate apportionment meth- od is undesirable and should be changed, and this was one of the main reasons I worked so hard to call a Constitutional Convention. The Convention adopted an ap- portionment plan that will ensure effective representation for all the people by legislators known, acces- sible and responsive to their con- stituents' needs. In addition, the Convention's proposal will provide for continuously effective repre- sentation through its automatic reapportionment provisions follow- ing each 10-year federal census. While legislatures should repre- sent only people, they should do so on a basis that will reflect dif- ferences in the problems of repre- senting them effectively. The ap- portionment plan in'the new Con- stitution will make Michigan a model for other states with simi- lar great differences in population distribution. 2) I believe in complete fiscal reform, which includes spending reform as well as revenue reform. One of the most important weak- nesses of my opponent's approach to government financing has been the consistent and almost solitary emphasis on the single approach of raising more money. I believe that spending reform must be put into effect by assuring the essen- tiality of every aspect of govern- ment operations, and enforcing consistent and continuing mea- sures to ensure efficiency and economy. I am not in favor of eliminating any present state serv- ices, but I do insist that they be administered in the most effective, efficient and economical method possible. I also believe that reve- nue reform is essential. I believe revenue reform must have three aims: (1) to encourage job crea- tion by equalizing taxes on em- ployers with the level of taxation in competing states; (2) to reduce the proportion of state taxes be- ing paid by families of low in- come; and (3) to provide ade- quately for the revenue needs of local units of government with re- duced reliance on the property tax. I also endorse the Citizens for Michigan tax program as the basic framework for total tax revision. I do not favor income taxes by themselves; if tax reform, includ- ing an income tax, would accom- plish the three objectives I have outlined, then I would not hesitate to propose one. None of my oppon- ent's various revenue suggestions would have accomplished all three objectives which I think are es- sential to real tax reform. Hs failures to get tax reform were be- cause he offered incomplete tax proposals that would not accom- plish the objectives genuine reve- nue reform must achieve. I 3) The proper premise for this question is: What will stimulate job creation? The question indi- cates one of the prime points - fiscal reform. I believe that we must put an end to one-sided, spe- cial interest government in Michi- gan so that job creators will know they will get fair treatment here. I believe in equal treatment for unions and employers, no better and no worse, and I don't believe treatment has been equal in Mich- igan. I believe election of a new state administration would be graphic proof to the nation that Michigan has ended one-sided spe- cial' interest government, and it would be the first big step in the creation of more jobs. I also have recommended a long list of addi- tional specific steps to help create more jobs. Briefly, we must put our house in order and then re- sell Michigan to the nation. 4) Unity within our state is es- sential if we are to make progress. We must recognize that our com- mon interests of the entire state, mon interests as citizens of Mich- igan are superior to our special in- terests of political, economic or sectional nature. Past governors have pitted group against group for political reasons, and have used the legislature as a conven- ient punching bag. Past governors have sought to take credit for any- thing good that has happened, and blamed the legislature for every- thing bad. My opponent indicated a graphic example of this short- sightedness recently when he tried to take credit for 24 "accomplish- ments" of his administration, only one of which stemmed from his leadership. The legislature is made up exactly as was the Constitu- superior in every respect to the tional Convention, where through the process of identifying the corn- we were able to compose differ- ences and subordinate private in- terests to write a new Constitution present document. So unity can be achieved with 'proper leadership, and we must have unity in Michi- gan to make any meaningful progress. 5) In the immediate future, Michigan will face stunning prob- lems stemming from the post-war population explosion. The record birth rate in the immediate post- war years starts hitting our col- leges and our job market next year. Michigan is not ready. We face an explosive need for state services. We have here only three alternatives: (1) We must stimu- late our economy to provide jobs that will support the public serv- ices including educational needs without excessive taxation; or (2) we must cut services; or (3) we must increase taxes. The choices are that simple. Michigan's num- ber one need is greater citizenship . more citizenship and less par- tisanship. Our number one prob- lem is to put an end to one-sided special interest government. Our number one economic need is jobs. Our number one long-range prob- lem is how to provide for the bur- geoning needs of the future. The number one questionof thiscam- paign is which of two men can provide the leadership and achieve the unity Michigan must have to meet the needs of our people.
