[C IC AIL of T-7-7-- 11 LI SUGGESTED RANK AND FILE REVOLTS: Democratic Convention S LiigIndex Rises Shakily Tenants, Owners To Fight on Rents DETROIT, July 7-(/P)-A week of uncontrolled prices came to an end today with Michigan's cost-of-living index shimmying like a high-speed auto with the clutch out. The State Government moved to clamp the lid on any rent spiral with a price-control call to the special "Bonus Legislature" which convenes in Lansing Tuesday. Even as this call went out, pres- sure groups of landlords and tenants announced plans to converge on the capital to plead on opposite sides of the rent control issue. Ferguson Favors Increase Some indication of what tenants may expect from any State rent con- trol act came from Michigan's Junior Senator, Homer Ferguson. He told a group of Detroiters Friday that he would consider a general 1 per cent rent increase Justified. Ferguson's attitude might be ex- pected to carry weight with Gov. Har- ryF. Kelly, since the latter consulted with the senator before adding rent control tentatively to \the agenda of the special session. The whole touchy dispute over OPA controls was climaxed a week ago when President Truman's veto of a makeshift OPA extension bill al- lowed the agency to die. State Increases Spotty Since then prices in Michigan have shown spotty increases, although the general price line has remained'fairly constant. First reports indicated there was no general increase in rentals. Most cases brought to public attention con- c'erned landlords who used stiff rent boosts to force out tenants whom they classed as "undesirable." Foodstuff Increases The same was apparently true of foodstuffs. Some cities reported prices up from 33 to 100 per cent on such scarce items as butter and meat. However, some of the State's largest retail grocers appeared to be fulfilling their pledge to keep prices at an OPA level. Most merchants emphasized a will- ingness to hew to the old price line as long as wholesalers do not kite prices. In Detroit, the Bureau of Markets reported that radical price increases in the meat industry have been "pret- ty much restricted" to some of the smaller. packers. . Depie this optimistic -tone, calves liver was selling as high as $1 per pound, sirloin steak stood at 85 cents a pound, and there were sharp boosts in the prices of hamburger and ba- con, where either could be found.

VOy S ~~AND META MHaN .QuL R CONTROL &I B;Y The Associated Press LANNSING, July 6-A rank-and-file rebelli in Michigan's Democratic party boiled out on the party's state convention floor here today as an apparent majority of the delegates howled unsuccessfully for the scalps' of their two National Committee members, E. Cyril Bevan and Mrs. Clara Van Auken. The forces of Murray D. Van Wag- oner, nominee for governor, in com- plete control of the convention other- wise, finally resorted to outright steam roller tactics to quell the up- rising and adjourned the convention while a resolution still was pending to demand the resignations of the two committee members. I acked shoulder to shoulder be- neath the rostrum and standing on their chairs throughout the hall, the delegates roared for a chance to vote on the resolution. President Truman's nomination, with endorsement of Bevan and Mrs. Van Auken, of Theodore Levin of De- troit and Justice Raymond W. Starr of the State Supreme Court for two vacant Federal District Court ap- pointments were the cause of the uprising. A strongly worded resolution read to the convention by Harry Glass, Jr., of Grand Rapids, Resolutions Com- mittee chairman, declared the party "repudiated" he leadership of Bevan and Mrs. Van Auken and charged them with ignoring both the wishes and welfare of the party. The reso- lution condemned Levin as having been on a reception committee for a former Republican presidential candidates and for not being a Demo- crat, and objected that Starr's ap- pointment to the Federal Bench cost the Democrats a State Supreme Court post. On a test of strength and a motion to table the resolution, the party leadership lost by a vote of 1,136 to 747. Then the leadership put a motion to adjourn before the house. Obser- vers were certain that it was shouted down, but Carl Weideman, Wayne County Circuit Court Commissioner and permanent chairman, declared the meeting adjourned. The dele- gates howled. Some leaped to the platform and attempted to organize a rump session, but it gradually pet- ered out. Some leaders of the anti-Bevan- Van Auken forces stormed out of the hall shouting "we'll vote for Sigler." (Kim Sigler is Exe Re- publican nominee for governor.) Before the last-minute row, Van Wagoner's slate for his running mates in November slid through on greased wheels. The only opposition and that was not spirited, was to his choice of Victor E. Bucknell, of Vicksburg, for the nomination for State Supreme Court Justice. Bucknell defeated Edward T. Kane of Algonac and Howard L. Campbell of Manistee. The remainder of the ticket chos- en, all without opposition: For attorney general-Thurman B. (Sam) Doyle, of Menominee. For secretary of state-Joseph L. Bannigan, Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor. For state treasurer-John J Koz- aren, Wayne County treasurer de- feater for renomination at the prim- aries. For audlitor general-Marvin Coon, of Escanaba, former Warden of the Marquette Branch Prison. All but Kozaren are veterans .of either the first or second World War. Campbell and Bannigan and Doyle served in World War I and Coon in both wars. The nominations were peaceful but there was no peace all day in the resolutions committee room. Van Wagoner made a personal ap- peal to halt the resolution and fail- ed.

"Anything which will stimulate the average citizen's interest in this problem is decidedly beneficial." Under the proposed plan (which is illustrated graphically in the chart accompanying this article) the peo- ple will elect only a governor as the responsible head of state, a lieuten- ant governor who would preside over the Senate and stand by for an emer- gency, and an auditor general who would act as the legislature's check on.state administration. A cabinet composed of all depart- ment heads would advise the gover- nor on matters of general policy. Cer- A POTENT ESSENCE OF tain specific' policy problems would be handled by the planning commis- sion, military department and tem- porary miscellaneous commissions. The state manager would coordi- nate the functions of the organiza- tional, personnel (civil service,) purchasing, legal and financial agencies with departments which serve the public directly. These service agencies have direct control over all state activities in- volved in the fields of conservation, public works, education, public safe- ty, business regulation, agriculture, vocational and professional stan- dards, labor, public health and men- tal hygiene, welfare and liquor con- trol.
