RHYNE top in the nation in the 60s, percentage points below Au- Associated Press Writer With industry ranging from agriculture to manufacturing and a central location from which to ship goods, the upper Midwestern States have fared better than average in the national economic slump that saw nationwide unemployment of 6 per cent last month. Although Chicago unemployment rose from 4.3 per cent in August to 4.4 per cent in September, the metropolitan area consistently has been below the national unemployment figure. John Coulter, director of Manpower for the Chicago Association of Commerce and Industry, said Chicago has been helped by diversification of industry, location and little dependence on defense contracts.

He said the city had very little defense industry and when contracts were cut back and 700,000 persons laid off across the country, little or no affect was felt in Chicago. Just being in the Midwest has its own advantages, he said. Freight costs and parcel post costs are lower and travel expenses and long distance telephone bills for business can be kept down. advantage of Chicago is that it has a diverse industry; the downfall of one industry can't bring it down," he said. Total expenditure for business expansion in Chicago was Vessel Passages UP AM Thompson cl 5:15 McLagan 5:30 Schoellkopf Jr 6:00 Ornefjell ar 6:15 Oglebay ar 6:20 Armstrong 7:15 Saguenay 7:40 Stanley 8:15 Irish Cedar ar 9:40 Stra cl 11:20 A Lawson 11:35 PM Robertson 12:30 Andwi 1:30 "Up AM Olds 12:25 Jalatarang ar 1:30 Carnahan cl 2:00 DOWN AM Andrea Brovig 5:45 Jackson 6:35 Diamond Alkali 6:55 Snyder cl 7:00 Jadro ar 7:30 Peter Reiss cl 7:45 Cowle 8:25 Quetico 8:30 Kling 8:35 Belval 9:25 Sloan 10:05 Fort Henry cl 10:10 Harriman 10:50 Cliffs Victory 11:45 PM Gloxinia 12:10 Pargny 12:45 Carnahan ar 1:40 DOWN AM Schoellkopf Jr ar 12:10 Sensibar ar 12:45 DETROIT MONDAY PM Comeaudoc 1:55 Jef Misener 3:05 Jo Rivka ar 3:10 Brinknes cl 4:40 Middletown 5:30 Reiss ar 6:30 Mantadoc 6:35 Snyder Jr 7:35 Cedarbranch cl 9:00 Harris Snyder 9:20 Miller ar 10:20 Greene 11:15 Suerte ar 11:35 TUESDAY AM Irish Sycamore cl 2:30 Ottercliffe Hall 3:25 MONDAY PM Oglebay cl 1:50 Lamont 3:15 Tadoussac 3:35 Voyager 4:30 Tomlinson ar 5:15 Eglantine 6:30 Jadro cl 7:35 Maria 7:40 Michipicotem 8:45 Silver Bay 8:50 Lake Manitoba 8:55 Ford ar 10:05 Tarantau 10:10 Monitor 10:15 Wilson 11:10 Shwab 11:20 Lehigh 11:35 Watson 11:45 TUESDAY AM Iglehart ar 2:20 Montrealais 4:05 SAULT STE.

Imler, 33, superintendent of the project, said the purpose of the tour was to let city officials know that the company is living up to its promises of developing the site which had to be rezoned. Consumers is building a $40 million plant between Range Road and Busha Highway north of Davis Road that will reform light hydrocarbons into a synthetic natural gas. Commercial production is scheduled for late 1972. Mr.

Imler will be plant manager when the plant goes into operation. He currently is having a house built in Marysville. Golfing Fees Remain Same At Marysville MARYSVILLE Membership fees for Riverview Municipal Golf Course for the 1972 golfing season were approved Monday night by the City Council. Council accepted the Golf Comimssion's recommendation that the fees be the same as for the 1971 season. They will be $60 a single resident and $100 for a resident couple; $75 for a single non-resident and $120 for a resident couple; student, $25 and for $40 a high for a college student.

Burglars Take Truck, Brass At Richmond RICHMOND A 1970 truck, valued at $5,000, and some 4,000 pounds of brass and copper castings, valued at $3,800, were reported missing Monday night in a burglary of Richmond Tool Company, 10830 Gratiot Road. New Baltimore State Police said burglars used a fork lift to load the castings onto the stake truck, which was parked inside the Casco Township plant. Entry was gained by breaking a window. Farm Buildings Are Burglarized PORT AUSTIN State Police of Bad Axe Post are investigating the breaking and entering of three buildings on a farm in Huron Township owned by Clifford Alton, Royal Oak. A neighbor, Gerald Baranski, discovered the burglary.

Officers said padlocks had been cut from a tool shed, a garage and a barn. The owner was notified, a and it is yet to be determined if anything is missing. TEMPER TEMPER IPSWICH, England (UPI)Salesman Neil Morphew, 21, was so furious when he got a parking ticket that he grabbed a traffic warden's hat, stuffed the ticket inside and rammed the hat on the officer's head. Monday, Morphew admitted to using insulting words and assault. He was fined 20 pounds ($49.80) and ordered to pay five pounds ($12.45) costs by Ipswich magistrates.

Coulter said. Some $10 billion was invested over a 10-year period for commercial and industrial projects. Chicago also led New York City and Los Angeles in the second half of the decade in total construction with $6,219,000 for new facilities. Los Angeles followed with $6,155,000 and New York third at $5,847,000. Coulter said Chicago now is "reaping the benefits of the lively commercial and industrial development of the 60s." He said during the period from 1966 to 1969.

some 571,000 new jobs were created in the Chicago area which was the greatest percentage increase of any large metropolitan area. The Minnesota Department of Economic Development reported last year new and expanded industry in the state created 7,412 new jobs with 70 per cent of the $372 1 million investment going outside the Twin Cities and Duluth metropolitan areas. Unemployment however rose from per cent in July to 5.8 per cent, or 84,000 persons, in August. Unemployment was greatest around the Great Lakes area with a concentration of auto production. 6.8 per cent unemployment rate was the highest for a September in 18 years, but it was almost three gust's 9.6 per cent rate, according to the Michigan Employment Security Commission.

In Detroit the rate was 7 per cent in September, or 121,000 persons, but it was 8.9 per cent, or 150,000 out of work, in August. Harry Hall, president of the Michigan State Chamber of Commerce, said a number of industries plan expansion programs as soon as business picks up. He blamed the slowdown in Michigan on economic conditions facing the naton. State statistics showed unemployment in South Dakota dropped from 3.9 per cent in June of last year to 3.2 per cent in August. Agriculture has produced 85 per cent of North Dakota's "new wealth," Allen Golberg, of the state's Chamber of Commerce, said.

As he put it, "This new wealth is what Main Street is interested in--money changing hands." August unemployment was a low 3.4 per cent during the peak of North Dakota's wheat harvest. Dr. Norbert A. Dorow, an agriculture economist at North Dakota State University, said although inflation has hit farms, the nation's adverse economic conditions have had "comparatively less effect on North Dakota than on more industralized states."

Marysville Won't Participate In Emergency Employment Plan MARYSVILLE Apparently most city fathers believe that the city should hire employes with its own resources rather than use the Emergency Act tax funds allocated to the county.

In a split vote of four to three Monday night, the City Council voted against city participation in the Federal Emergency Employment Act (EEA). Had the council gone for participation, eight employes could have been hired. Participation called for use of some $78,876 of federal tax funds granted to the county. Mayor John W. Hurley and Councilmen Richard M.

Curley, Clifford E. Johnson and Charles J. Wilson voted against participation. In favor of participation were Councilmen Douglas H. Mowat, Don Reid and Harry W.

Stark. Earlier this month, it was brought out during a council meeting that City Manager Richard M. Henneberger had applied for participation in the program. Councilmen said then that application had not been directed by the council. Some councilmen expressed at that meeting that they were opposed to the program.

Mr. Henneberger was absent from that meeting to explain why he sought participation. Afterwards, Mr. Henneberger provided councilmen with information on the program which also explained his rationale for participation. Basically, Mr.

Henneberger WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Supreme Court refused today for the second time to rule on the constitutionality of the Vietnam War, never formally "declared" by Congress. The case was rejected on a 5-2 vote by the seven-member court, at its first business session of the new term. Justices William Douglas and William J. Brennan voted to hear the case. The court's brief order left standing a ruling last April 20, by the 2nd U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals in New That count held that congressional approval of the war could be inferred from passage of the Tonkin Gulf resolution, appropriation of billions of dollars to carry on the conflict, extension of the draft law and specific conscription of manpower. The government had urged the court to dismiss the appeal on the ground the issue was one that only Congress and the executive branch could resolve. It was brought in federal district court in New York by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on behalf of two servicemen. The Justice Department told the Supreme Court: "A President violates the constitutional powers of Congress in this area at his peril -and Congress is the best judge of whether there has bene a violation." The ACLU argued: "The consequences of continued silence by this court on Vietnam can only be confusion, unrest, and continued uncertainty about any future military action. The nation requires a final answer to these questions which have so troubled and perplexed our society." The lower court opinions generally adopted the government's arguments, generating, several meaning of statements their by votes sena- on the Tonkin Gulf resolution had been misinterpreted.

An amendment to that effect proposed by Sen. Jacob K. Javits, to defense appropriation bill was withdrawn. The Tonkin resolution was approved by Congress with only two dissenting votes in 1964 following reports of attacks on American ships in the Tonkin Gulf off Vietnam by North Vietnamese torpedo boats. The resolution was interpreted by President Lyndon B.

Johnson as giving him a free hand to escalate the U.S. role in Vietnam. The ACLU said reliance on "implied" congressional authority "without a formal and explicit act by Congress is a violation of the entire constitutional scheme." The ACLU represented Salvatore Orlando and Douglas Kaplan who argued that their orders to report for Vietnam duty were unconstitutional. Last term, the court refused to consider a similar challenge brought by the State of Massachusetts where the legislature had banned the sending of its draftees to Vietnam. Massachusetts tried to bring the case directly in the high court without first going through lower courts.

The high court started the new term two seats vacant and because of this, it decided previously to postpone action on some of the most controversial decisions it faces until it is up to full strength. These include legal challenges to the death penalty. President Nixon has not indicated whowill be nominated for court vacancies. The Washington Post reported today that a high administration source said Sen. Robert C.

Byrd, was not at the top of the list of possible nominees at the moment. During the past weekend, published reports listed Byrd as one of the most likely Nixon nominees. Blue Water HURCH ST. District News eral store in Adair for many years. They have a daughter, Mrs.

Reluctant Gl Patrol Withdrawn SAIGON (AP) The five U.S. soldiers who balked at going on a night ambush patrol last weekend were withdrawn today from Fire Base Pace along with the rest of their 100-man company. Maj.

Gen. Jack J. Wagstaff, commander of U.S. forces in the 3rd Military Region, said he had replaced the company at the artillery base on the Cambodian border "because of all this goddam flak, the possible harm it could do to company morale and in line with normal rotation policy." a st aff said no disciplinary action would be taken against the five reluctant GIs because "nothing was violated." "There was never any confrontation, never any refusal," the general said. "There was never opportunity.

The only refusal, if you want to call it that, is that they told a newsman they weren't going to go." The five men were members of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry, 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division. Wagstaff said that shortly after the order was given for the night patrol Saturday, the were preambushe paring their equipment for the mission when an unidentified reporter came into their bunker. the funds, he said. Hirohito Ends Hirohito Ends Europe Tour BONN, Germany (AP) Emperor Hirohito of Japan relaxed on a Rhine riverboat today, the 17th and final full day of his journey through Europe. The emperor and Empress Nagako boarded the sleek white yacht loreley at Bingen, 62 miles south of Bonn, for the sight-seeing cruise down the misty waterway.

Two West German patrol boats with heavy machine guns escorted the loreley through thick barge traffic of the Rhine. Hirohito seemed rested and more relaxed than during his arrival in West Germany Monday. Helmut Kohl, ident of the minister Rhineland-Palatinate, accompanied the emperor and empress.

Berville May Get New Township Hall BERVILLE Most of some 30 persons who attended a special meeting Thursday were in favor of building a new Township Hall, according to William F. Doddyn, Berlin township clerk.

The Berlin Township Board and residents discussed a proposal to acquire site, build a new hall and dispose of the existing one, he said. One citizen offered to donate a two-acre site on Capac Road south of Allenton, Mr. Dobbyn said. The board was previously offered the Berville Recreation Area, North Road, Lions Club. The club owns the mainly-underdeveloped park.

It consists of from four to six acres. Questions were raised about the legality of transferring the Deaths LEO G. BAMMEL ST. CLAIR Leo G. Bammel, 79, of 4139 Yankee Road, retired Great Lakes engineer, died Monday in his home.

City Police said Frank Quandt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Quandt, 168 Eckfield Drive, was taken to River District Hospital for treatment of head cuts and a possible broken arm.

Most persons were in favor of building a new hall but some believed the money should be spent to correct sewage problems, Mr. Dobbyn said. There was also considerable discussion about the need to establish a fire department in the township before a hall is built, he added. The community believes that firemen from other areas are reluctant to travel the distance to extinguish fires in the township, Mr. Dobbyn noted.

Many also believe that a fire department is needed to handle an increase in population that is expected for the community, he added. Some persons believed that the board should call for a special election but it is not needed, Mr. Dobbyn said. No definite action was taken at the meeting, which was held only to seek opinions from residents, he said. The board believes they accomplished that goal.

Mr. Dobbyn said the board will probably call another public hearing. The board will discuss the building proposal at its next regular meeting at 8 p.m. Monday in Township Hall. Mr.

Dobbyn added that the board also discussed the sale of the township dump on Hough Road west of Capac Road. The board is soliciting bids for the 6.7-acre dump. The State Department of Public Health requires that trash be bulldozed daily, he explained. The township cannot afford to do that. Bids for the dump will be opened at the Nov.

He indicated that participation would permit the city to hire employes under the EEA for at least a year at no expense to the city. He had proposed hiring an additional man for the fire department and seven workers for the department of public works. Several points were stressed by councilmen opposing the plan.

Some expressed fear that the city would have to continue to employ the per- Eligibility Control Switch Is Opposed GAYLORD, Mich. (AP) About 100 persons at a public hearing in Gaylord Monday expressed nearly unanimous opposition to a plan for the State Board of Education to take over control of high school sports from the Michigan High School Athletic Association, The hearing was one of a number the Board of Education is conducting around the state to solicit public views on the plan. A show of hands at the hearing demonstrated the public opposition. The board proposed the takeover after Atty. Gen.

Frank Kelley ruled that the association has no legal authority to enforce its regulations. sons hired under the program after funding for the program ceased, regardless of need. Others voiced concern over the screening of applicants by the Michigan Employment Security Commission prior to selection by the city. Nearly all expressed opposition to hiring only the unemployed. They stressed that there was the possibility that some residents who were currently employed may like to work for the city.

Admittedly, the program for hiring unemployed persons, and this would prevent employed residents from possibly getting the job, they said. Councilman Curley expressed the strongest opposition to taking part in the program. He said, "We should carry our own load. We don't need Federal help." Councilman Charles J. Wilson said that if the city needed to hire more employes, "we should do it on our own." Councilman Douglas H.

Mowat voiced the strongest argument in favor of participation. He said that he was against the program, primarily because it called for spending taxpayers' money. He said, however, "It's go ing to be spent anyway the Federal government has already approved the program and the money will be spent in the county. If we don't participate, then I think, personally, that we would be denying the residents of Marysville the benefit of some $78,000." Richard G. Bingham, program agent for the EEA, said today that the funds which would have been used by Marysville will be redistributed to other participants.

He said that some municipalities and schools had been cut back on their requests. Those requests will be reviewed for redistribution of Ford Plans Appeal Of $Million Award DETROIT (AP) Ford Motor Co. says it will appeal the award of $1 million to three Montana women whose husbands were killed when a Ford car with allegedly defective steering crashed. A U.S. District Court jury in Detroit awarded the judgment Monday to Mrs.

Terry Ryan, Mrs. Nancy Casey and Mrs. Judy Fairfull, all of Great Falls. In the suit, attorney James Tuck charged that the car involved in the accident, a 1967 Ford Galaxie, was assembled with defective power steering which caused the crash. Following the announcement of the verdict, Ford said it would appeal.

"There was no original defect in the design or assembly of the vehicle and the decision will be appealed," the company said.
