Report Ready-
On Complexity
Of Metropolis
(Continued from Page 1)
as the second most important
faith at 37 per cent. Only two
per cent of the population ex-
pressed no religious preference.
Forty-two per 'cent attend
church once a week.
Labor unions play a leading role
in social participation. A total of
30 per cent of the people who are
enrolled in any organization be-
long to labor groups.
Fourteen per cent of the popu-
lation has never belonged to any
organized social group.'
The report says, "It is clear that
the organizations which directly
reach the bulk of the Detroit pop-
ulation are churches, church-con-
nected groups. and labor unions."
IN EXPLORING the social re-
lationships among the populace
the report reaches the conclusion
that "even in a great metropolis
like Detroit family ties appear still
to-be most numerous."
The Detroit Area' Study is a
new research training program
at the- University, and the so-
ciology department feels it to
be so important that it has sub-
stituted participation ia the
program for the traditional mas-
ter's dissertation.
The group which worked with
leading Detroit civic organizations
hopes in the near future to make.
public information on educational
training and attitudes on Detroit,
political parties and political affil-
iations.
The program will continue in-
definitely. Next year's project will
focus on aspects of family life in a
metropolitan community.
Alger . .
A. First, call a halt to the prac-
tice of adding new, unnecessary
and expensive state services to the
sent structure.
B. Second, eliminate all present
services that are not necessary to
the well being of the state and
that have been added over the
years at the insistence of special
interests or selfish pressure groups.
C. Third, drastically tighten the
administration and enforcement of
present revenue measures.
D. Apply the result of such sav-
ing and increased revenue to gra-
dual reduction of deficits and fi-
nancing of such added operations
as may be necessary.
2.
See paragraph 1-D above.
3.
Place penal institutions under
trained penologists and remove
all political influence.
4.
Favor voluntary legislation.
5.
A drastic tightening of the ad-
ministration of present revenue
measures would be the first step.
Next, a complete study of our en-
tire tax structure by unbiased.
competent financial experts.
6.
The Trucks Act is sound. How-
ever, I believe that a continued
study of the problem is advisable.
Given proper control at the fed-
eral level, the problem of Com-
munism in Michigan will become
less acute State and Federal leg-
ilation; should follow the same
general pattern' with -each com-
pleting the other.
7.
I favor Proposal 3 in that is
provides proper balance and fol-
lows the pattern that has been
so successful in our Federal
structure.
8.
I am in favor of a super high-
way between Detroit and Chicago
with adequate connecting links
with other heavily populated areas
of our state. I prefer that all high-
way financing should come from
present highway revenues.
Williams ..
Adoption of a corporation pro-
fits tax.
2.
The additional funds from the
proceeds of a corporate profits
tax would balance our state bud-
get and help meet the increasing
needs of our. state supported
schools and universities.
3.
Construction of specialized
prison facilities for the treat-
ment of first offenders; increas-
ed appropriations to provide in-
creases in prison staffs to en-
able them to cope with a grow-
ing prison poulation; and more
emphasis on vocational and oth-
er training to rehabilitate pris-
oners.
4.
As Governor, I have recommend-
ed the adoption of compulsory
Fair Employment Practices legis-
lation to every regular session of
the Legislature. I will continue to
do everything in my power to per-
suade the Legislature to pass such
a bill.
5.
The experience of the past 20
years has amply demonstrated
that Communists and Communism
are a real and present danger. The'
Trucks Bill, while perhaps not
perfect in every detail, is a rea-
sonable effort to protect our es-
sential freedoms and for that rea-
son I signed it.
6.
I believe we should preserve the
present basic principle of our Con-
stitution that representation in
both Houses of the Legislature
should be according to population.
7.
Present state taxes are regres-
sive, 79 cents out of every dol-
lar of state revenues coming di-
rectly from consumers. Corpor-
ations account for only about
eight per cent of Michigan state

A spectral village that comes to
life once every century provides
the setting for the Broadway hit
musical play "Brigadoon," which
will be presented here by the Stu-
dent Players, beginning Nov. 12.
Allan J. Lerner, who wrote the
book for the show, has said that
he wrote the happy ending first
and then worked backwards.
HIS FORMULA apparently has
proved immensely successful, for
the placid, cheerful and pleasant-

are thinking hard about this elec-
tion andare willing to exercise an
independent judgement."
"We'll have a huge vote," he
noted, "and the bigger the vote
the better."
* * *
ONE REASON for the larger
potential vote is new industrial
communities such as Pittsfield
Village which have grown up in
the Second Congressional District
in recent years.
Republicans in the area do
not feel that it will endanger
their chances of victory.
Democrats, on the other hand,
look hopefully toward these areas
for the votes that might swing the
election.
"It is primarily a problem of get-
ting out the Democratic vote, and
we feel we can do it this time," a
volunteer worker emphasized.
ANOTHER HOTLY contested is-
sue in Washtenaw County is the
CountydCourthouse proposal, with
both sides confident of victory.
The issue cuts across party
lines, with Ann Arbor Republi-
cans and Democrats supporting
a "yes" vote.
Malcolm C. Taylor, Chairman
of the Ann Arbor Citizens Court-
house Committee, declared that
since the courthouse situation has
been "bungled since 1935, the peo-
ple are disgusted with objections
to the courthouse proposal and will
vote for it."
On the other hand, George
Handy, editor of the Ypsilanti
Daily Press, noted that a similar
proposal was defeated in 1950 be-
cause the suggested site was in-
adequate, and that the same thing
will happen again.
ly romantic tale of the Scottish
highlands ran almost a year on
Broadway while ticket takers tore
enough pasteboard to double the
show's backers' investment after
300 performances.
The story that captured the
hearts of sophisticated New
Yorkers takes place in the en-
chanted town of Brigadoon.
While the rest of the world
wears itself out, the. villagers of
Brigadoon exist in neighborly con-
tentment, emerging from their re-
mote corner of time to come to
life for one day every century.
When two American travelers
stumble upon the villagp, a tale of
faith and magical love follows,
leading to the happy ending.
EXPLAINING THE decision to
present "Brigadoon" here, Student
Players president Joseph Gadon,
'53, said, "Our function is to pre-
sent plays that have a universal
appeal-Broadway's best."
"This is one show which has a
magical charm that should cap-
ture everyone's imagination. We
expect that it should be just as
successful as last year's production
of Finian's Rainbow."
Brigadoon will run for four days,
Wednesday, Nov. 12 through Sat-
urday, Nov. 15. Orchestra seats at
$1.20 and balcony seats at 90 cents
will go on sale at the Lydia Men-
delssohn box office Monday, Nov.

revenues compared to 23 per
cent in the other 47 states.
The state tax structure should
be changed by adding more of the
principle of ability to pay, thus
lessening the regressive nature of
our present system. We should
seek a new tax source which will
raise the funds we need quickly
and simply, which will have a low
cost of collection, and which will
not compound the present inequi-
ties but rather add balance to our
present tax structure. A corporate
profits tax, replacing the present
corporate franchise tax, will ac-
complish these purposes most rea-
dily.
8.
Yes, but sufficient highway re-
venues are not now available. The
question of financing this and
similar super highways is current-
1Y being studied by a legislative
committee to determine where
they should be built and which of
them can be financed economical-
ly through tolls.
A balanced budget with ade-
quate funds for essential state ser-
vices.
