THE BATTLE CREEK ENQUIRER AND NEWS Wednesday, September 20, 1961 Stab Victim's Condition Poor; Hearing Delayed Differ on Licenses For Liquor-by-Glass St I I I if. i i tt I 7 Mrs. Lynette R. (Tobey) Mor-and bothered me on the phone. wiA'ilri; it 'ji Efforts to add two more establishments to the list of Battle Creek taverns recommended for Class liquor-by-the-glass licenses were turned aside by the City Commission last night.

The vote on the issue brought forth a charge by Commissioner Aaron J. Pearlman that Commissioner Robert H. Kirschman Mr. Kirschman had origi- Hy introduced the list of 26 establishments for commission perusal. At that time he said the firms had been carefully screened by the Battle Creek Tavern Owners Association and the Committee for Economic Growth and Progress in Battle Creek, the group which worked for approval of liquor-by-the-glass.

Mr. Pearlman commented last night that it seemed "highly in- rr i so I took back his washing and I thought he would be at work. Instead he went into a rage and cut me." Mrs. Morgan answered other questions with a hoarsely whispered "yes" or "no." When asked about the knife used, Mrs. Morgan wrote: "I'm not sure, he came after me when I started to leave and pulled it out of his pocket so fast I couldn't tell." She said the cutting came after he went into a rage because he found her in his apartment.

Hall told Judge Burke his attorney was to have been in court, but failed to appear.

Hall, charged with attempted murder, was expected to reappear in court this afternoon. Mrs. Morgan's three children, aged 4, 7 and 9, have been staying with a relative since the stabbing. They previously made their home with their mother whose last address was 124 E. Burnham St.

Mr. Kirschman declared that he was not attorney for the group and in fact had no financial interest in the group whatsoever.

Mr. Godde said he understood it cost the city $1,400 to send this group.

"I don't think the city has got that kind of money to spend on conventions," he declared. Commissioner Harry Wilklow Jr. commented that he, too, felt the commission should exercise more discrimination as" to convention-going matters, but he pointed out that persons named to the commission have little or no opportunity to get any schooling in their jobs and that information picked up at conventions from delegates from other cities can often be very valuable. Mr. Godde suggested that City Manager Orville Over decide who goes to conventions hereafter.

Deducting anticipated retirements and knowing that 70 per cent of the men and 30 per cent of the women will be looking for jobs, will indicate what needs to be done in providing new jobs, he said, adding: "The Battle Creek area, which includes Calhoun County, must plan to place itself in the best competitive position possible. You can't expect industry to drop millions of dollars in development and expansion in your lap unless your lap is in the proper position to receive it." Mr. Campbell said that statewide, Michigan needs 90,000 new jobs a year to keep pace with the demand.

"It now costs about $20,000 a year to create one new job. This gives you an idea of the billions of dollars we are talking about." The community must want industry and it must want to prepare for industry. But, this doesn't mean that industry will come. There are many other factors," he said. "The annexation of Springfield was a big feather in the cap of Battle Creek.

I want those of you from the surrounding townships to take that remark exactly the way it sounds. Mrs. Titus was born April 6, 1882, a daughter of Charles Cobb and Myra Champion. Her great grandfather, John Champion, was one of Battle Creek's earliest settlers, and Champion Street bears his name. Her father, long associated with the old Nichols Shepard Co.

was transferred by the company to Kansas City, Mo. in 1890. Mrs. Titus grew up in Kansas City, but was a frequent visitor here. She attended the Chicago Art Institute for a year around the turn of the century.

In 1910 she married Richard H. Titus, grandson and namesake of another early pioneer. Their homes here were on old Maple Street, now N.E. Capital Avenue and on Frelinghuysen Avenue and Sherman Road. Surviving are a daughter, Mrs.

Thomas D. (Kate) Yutzy of 415 E. 52nd New York City; a son, Samuel Champion Titus of 330 El Portal, Hillsborough, two grandchildren, Richard C. and Christine Champion Titus both of Hillsborough, Calif, and a niece, Katherine F. Moulton of 14 Frelinghuysen Ave.

You can't go it alone," he declared, adding: "Battle Creek appears to be doing something about meeting the challenge. That -you are thinking about the problem is your greatest asset." The state's resources, in which Battle Creek shares, Mr. Campbell said, are market location, large disposable income, natural resources, labor supply, transportation, water, tourist industry, recreation facilities, education and health institutions, many citizen groups at work and public utilities. The liabilities, or negative factors, he said, are an unsavory political climate, the state's fiscal situation, business taxes, labor climate, unemployment, and damage to the state's reputation. "What people think you are pretty much determines what you are," he said.

"But," Mr. Campbell declared, "the assets still far outweigh the liabilities." He said the merger of the Chamber of Commerce and the Area Development Corporation was a definite asset for Battle Creek. "This shows that you do not live in a divided house. This will tend to solidify you," he said. City Manager Orville F.

State police were alerted at 8 a.m. by a passing motorist who noted a length of garden hose leading from the exhaust pipe into the right front window. They found Mr. Crawford and were unable to revive him.

The medical examiner established the time of death about 11:30 last night. The car's ignition was on, but the fuel supply was exhausted. Sheriff's deputies yesterday were summoned to the Crawford home to answer a trouble call. Mrs. Crawford complained her husband beat her.
