Dangerous Weapon FLINT, Mich. (UPI)-Rich ard McDermott, 28, ran his car into a municipal police car and a state police cruiser, police said, and then forced 10-15 cars off the road before crashing into two filling stations. When arrested, after fleeing on foot, he was charged with felonious assault with an auto. Election and a general election in the fall," Mohr said. In the September primary, 7.577 voters about 33 per cent of those eligible selected the Republican and Democratic nominees for Tuesday'i runoff.

GOP Hopeful I Republicans believe they have their best chance in years to in the Assembly post. They haven't held the seat since 1958. Since the legislative realign ment of 1922, which gave the City of Sheboygan sole possession of a seat in the Assembly, Democrats have won 12 of the elections and Republicans 11. The last Republican to hold the post was Walter R. Schmidt, presently the chairman of the Sheboygan County Board of Supervisors, who served as Sheboygan assemblyman from 1956-58.

The late Henry Hillemann, a Democrat, held the post from 1958-62, while Kunde, also a Democrat, won three straight elections beginning in 1962. The GOP candidates never came close in their trio of bat tles with Kunde, but now that there is not the formidable job unseating an incumbent, Republicans are hopeful. Christianson was the largest vote-getter in the Sept. 12 prt mary, collecting 1,453 votes, 31 more votes than Otte with 1 ,422, But the total Democratic vote for five candidates was about 500 votes bigger than the GOP total for five candidates. Legislative Experience Both Christianson and Otte boast experience at the local legislative level; Christianson as a former member of the She boygan Board of Education, and Otte, as a current member of the County Board of Supervis-ors.

None of the three has previously sought a partisan political office. Harrison, running without the backing of a political party, is considered the underdog in Tuesday's contest. He has launched barbs at both of his partisan opponents on several occasions, but has gone virtually unanswered as Otte and Christianson trained their guns at each other. Christianson has based his campaign on the record of Gov. Knowles Republican adminis tration's no tax-increase state budget, and has pledged support for the governor's highway safe ty package.

Otte, meanwhile, has cam paigned against the Knowles budget, charging it manages to boast a no tax increase on the state level at the expense of local government. Other Elections At the present time Repub licans hold a 5J-45 margin the State Assembly, with two vacant seats, both of which wit be filled in special elections Tuesday in Sheboygan and Mil waukee. In addition, a special election is scheduled for the state's 15th Senatorial District (Walworth and Rock Counties) to fill a vacancy created by the resigna tion of Senator Goerge Borg. Observors see the GOP re gaining the senate seat, Democrats capturing the Milwaukee Assembly seat, vacated by the death of Democrat Adrain Man-ders, and Democrats taking the Sheboygan Assembly post, although Republicans are given an outside chance here. The fall session of the Legislature will begin a week from Tuesday, on Oct.

17, with highway safety legislation expected to occupy the spotlight of attention during the three to four week long term.

(UPI)- Marrying millionaire Tommy Manville, who once locked his 11th wife out of his home because he said he was tired of her "fussing around," died Sunday with her at his side. He was 74.

The widow. German-born Christina Erdlen, 26, married the heir to asbestos millions in 1960 soon after he met her when she was working as a waitress at a restaurant in nearby White Plains, N.Y.

These were run up dunng a half century of marriages and divorces that left his final score at 13 marriages, 11 divorces, 11 wives and innumerable separa tions. He married two of his wives twice and was widowed once when his wife died in an auto accident.

In an effort to thwart annulment action threa tened by his father, Manville married wives No. 1 and No. 6 twice. Christina, whose marriage to Manville was the second longest of his marital history, appeared to be going the way of his ormer wives soon after the marriage.

Thirty persons were injured, including a policeman hit by a rock. Police arrested 20 marchers. Among them was Negro come dian Dick Gregory, a leader of the protests now in their 43rd day. The violence was the first to flare in this racially troubled city since mid-September de spite nightly marches, and countermarches by opponents of open housing. A shotgun blast shattered the windows of a police car1 in the neighborhood of the disturb ances.

The officers in the car escaped injury. No arrests fol lowed the incident which oc curred in the neighborhood of the disturbances. "Leading You Astray" Most of those arrested, includ ing Gregory, were seized after about 410 marchers moved from the sidewalk into the center of the street in opposition to police orders. Ladies and gentlemen, you are In violation of the law," Lt, Carl E. Hanneman told the marchers.

"Each anq every demonstrator should use his own mind and not follow leaders who are leading you astray." Gregory, who was at the head of the line along with The Rev. James. E. Groppi, a white Roman Catholic priest, was pushed back onto the side walk. After four attempts to keep Gregory there, police ar rested him.

The other demonstrators remained in the street. Hanneman warned them three more times to move. Police finally formed a wedge and drove into the line with nightsticks flying. One Negro youth fell to the ground. "I'm getting up, I'm getting up," he yelled as police flayed at him with their clubs, "Earlier, police moved in on the demonstrators when they attempted to approach a band of white opponents of open housing also marching in the Inner Core where most of Milwaukee's 86,000 Negroes live.

Three open housing marchers were arrested in that clash. The rival groups had been parading on opposite sides of the same street. Priest On March A Roman Catholic priest, the Rev. Russell Witon, a hospita chaplain, was among those in the white march. At a rally on the virtually ail-White South Side after the march, Father Witon told about 90 demonstrators "We're not going to stand by and let any savages move into our neighborhoods even if it takes force.

Milwaukee's Common Council four times in the past has re jected open housing ordinances Mayor Henry Maier said he favors open housing but only if it comes on a state or metropolitan basis. He argues that a city-only law would result in an exodus of whites from the city and strip Milwaukee of its tax base. Father Groppi, adviser to the Milwaukee Youth Council of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People has said the marches will con tinue until the city adopts open housing.

Manders won a lour-way primary race Sept. 12, polling 1,176 votes. Mrozinski, who was un opposed, received 189 votes. In Sheboygan, Democrat Carl Otte, 44, is in a three-way race with Republican Arvin B. Christianson, 58, and Robert G.

When Mrs. Manville went to the police in an effort to get for her clothing, Manville arrived at the police station and explained: "I don't want her in because I'm tired of her fussing around."

FROM PAGE 1 Democrats us into believing they can do both more or less in Vietnam at the same time." The Democratic chairman did not mention New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, a pros pective GOP favorite son who has generally supported John son's basic Vietnam policies. Bailey has made it clear to associates he regards Rockefeller as probably the toughest oddo- nent the Republicans could put up against Johnson. Bailey echoed throughout his speech the, hard line Johnson took at a Saturday night Salute to the President dinner.

Johnson challenged his critics to offer a viable alterna tive to his Vietnam course. Others Turned Down The choice of Chicago for next year's convention came after Miami Beach', and Hous ton, made opposing bids. Miami Beach, which will have the Republican nominating convention starting Aug. 5, turned up $50,000 short of the $750,000 cash and $150,000 in fringe bene- 1 ins uiicieu oy wucago. Houston had been ruled out by Johnson because of an intra party fight in the state.

The site committee found also that Houston didn't have enough actually available hotel rooms. Florida apparently was not to Johnson's liking because it houses headline-making Republican Gov. Claude Kirk Jr. Party leaders also want to go where the big electoral votes are. Illinois, with 26, currently is classified in the doubtful column for the election.

Sheboygan Ampli off ifrut parking ftcitltUi PARIS (UPI)-French biographer Andre Maurois died in a Paris clinic today, doctors announced. He was 82. Maurois, a member of the French Academy, underwent surgery early last week.

Doctors said his condition worsened Sunday after improving throughout the week. Relatives were summoned to his bedside. Maurois, whose original name was Emile Herzog, was born In Elbeuf, Normandy, and educated at the University of Caen. Maurois turned from a career in the family's textile business to writing during World War when he produced "The Silence of Colonel Bramble." The success of this book liberated him from the business world "a combination of war and sport" as he described it. For more than 40 years, Maurois wrote in longhand for five hours every day, publishing a prodigious amount of books and articles.

"I live a very quiet life, working very hard, doing nothing else," he once said. Maurois was noted for his biographies especially of such romantics as Lord Byron, George Sand and the Dumas family. He also wrote studies of Shelley, Disraeli, Proust, Hugo, Turgenyev, Balzac and nearly a dozen others. At the outbreak of World War II Maurois abandoned occupied France and fled to Britain and later to the United States.

Marine bases and supply lines, Communist Ambush The fight began Sunday when a platoon of about 40 men was hit from two sides by withering mortar and automatic weapons fire. Quickly, the Communists encircled the platoon. Other Haratroop units in the area battled their way to the platoon, charging through Communist lines and, according to the spokesman, "using their bare knuckles" as well as knives in some cases. The fight raged for four hours. When it was over, and the North Vietnamese retreated to hills to the west, the Paratroopers found 60 Communist bodies.

There were 17 Americans killed and four wounded, an unusually high ratio of dead over wounded. Sljf erenb Jftnural 2)ome Serving Sheboygan Since 1S73 903 N. 6th Strait Garand-Habarmann Funaral Horn, Inc..
