PAGE SIXTEEN THE NEWS- PALLADIUM, BENTON HARBOR, MICH. THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1959 Hoffa Faces Fights With Gov't, Union Teamster Boss Caught In Squeeze (Continued From Page One) phia, and John J. McNamara, Fork. All three are powerful Teamsters officials and close associates of Hoffa. The appeals court also outlined a procedure whereby the monitors may force compliance with future reform recommendations through orders of U.

S. District Judge F. Dickinson Letts. The 84-year old Judge Letts has been ruling consistently with the monitors, and it was his interpretation of court enforcement powers of monitor cleanup orders that was upheld by the appeals court. HOFFA ACCEPTED the monitorship a year and a half ago as part of compromise settlement of lawsuit that charged he rigged Teamsters convention to get himself elected.

Under the compromise he's been serving only provisionally AS Teamsters president. Judge Letts has indicated he could throw Hoffa out of the job. The head of the three-man monitor board, Martin F. O'Donoghue, viewed the appeals court decision as giving the monitors a go-ahead for an -out Teamsters corruption cleanup. O'Donoghue quickly held private conference with Judge Letts on procedures.

AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM is an appeals court finding that one of the other two monitors, New York Attorney Godfrey P. Schmidt, had 8 conflict of interest. The appeals court in effect invited Judge Letts to replace Schmidt. It found that he represented Teamsters employers. The third monitor is Daniel B.

Maher, who represents the Teamsters on the Monitor group. Schmidt represented the original plaintiffs in the compromised lawsuit against Hora. Tax Is Dead House Takes Up Conlin Program (Continued From Page One) James Clarkson of Southfield and William Romano of Warren rejected it both times. A surprise rebel was Rep. J.

Penczak (D-Detroit). DEMOCRATS GOT HELP from the same Republicans who voted for the bill last week- -Conlin and Reps. George W. Sallade of Ann Arbor, John C. Morris of Midland and Louis C.

Cramton of Lapeer. Two Detroit Democrats who could have put the bill over the top- Joseph G. O'Connor and John L. Sobieski were missing because of illness. The bill would have required Individuals to pay the state seven per cent of their federal Income tax bills.

Corporations would have paid 12 per cent and financial Institutione 14 per cert. About 130 million dollars In present business taxes would have been repealed. Mouse Speaker Don R. Pears (R- Buchanan) said the decision cleared the decks for a bi-partisan committee of the Senate and House to get going again on tax compromise talks, probably next week. NEGOTIATIONS bogged down week ago when Democrats insisted or an income tax and Republicans stood firm for higher use tax.

Two use tax bills have cleared the Republican-run Senate and died in the House. Rep. Joseph J. Kowalski (D-Detroit), Democratic floor leader, said he would suggest negotiators abandon both che use and graduated income "Unless tax plans and start afresh. Republicans are willing to accept graduated income levy as companion to a tax, we should waste no more time haggling the pros and cons of either," he said.

Gov. Williams warned again that swift enactment was needed to keep the state from sinking even deeper into a financial quagmire. obstructionists who don't like anything that is suggested had better come to their sense soon, or there won't be any money for he said. Williams made it plain he is as strongly opposed to the use tax hike as ever. Meanwhile, there was speculation that four Repnblican senators might come up tonight with a Republican Senate tax compromise on a Detroit television appearance.

Presumably it would be built around the use tax, and possibly embrace some new nuisance taxes and business tax adJustments.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS Many Attend Funeral For Dr. Frank King, A goodly company of noon gathered at the Methodist respects to the late Dr. Frank Benton Harbor surgeons after a five-year illness. In the mourning throng members were Mercy hospital nurses, the hospital medical staff, officers and trustess of the hospital, patients who vouchsafed longer and happier years because of Dr.

King's professional skill and others who knew and felt close to him because of his many fine attributes of character. A turnout of Rotarians likewise indicated the interest the deceased in civic affairs. The last service was in perfect keeping with the unpretentious life this highly respected man of medicine had lived in this community for so many The service was exactly like the have liked, simple but sincere. beautiful floral display would, added a bright bit of coloring. The officiating clergyman, the Rev.

Stanley Buck, Peace Temple pastor, spoke of the humility a of the departed. He read chosen bit verse Dr. King loved SO much, written by the famed Edgar A. Guest, which reflected the serene and Philsophical view of life the deceased entertained and practiced PASTOR'S ELOGY Said Dr. Buck: "It is almost needless to say that Dr.

King achieved and established for himself a place of honor, respect and trust in this community where he lived and labored for 40 years. He did this by the kind of life he lived, the kind of person was, the things he stood for, and the faith he practiced. "He loved the profession of medicine. He gave the best he had to Through study and practice, he was always trying to be better doctor. "He did not spare himself in the practice of his professions.

He was continually busy, helping, healing, ministering to those in need, in pain and distress. His job was to relieve human suffering, to bind up the wounds of the afflicted. "God has marvelous way of working through the dedicated doctor. Through him, God carries on His Miracles of healing. The good doctor is always dependent on power outside of himself.

"When physician or surgeon lays down his work, it is not like the passing of an ordinary citizen. He has held perculiar relationship to his community and 1ts people. He is not public agent for the transaction of business. He 1s publio friend. He does not deal with the external needs of men.

He holds the most sacred trust. Those wavering in the valley of the shadow of death trust the thread of life to his dedicated mind and hand. LOVED MERCY "Dr. King tried to do justly, to love mercy, and be humble before God. It is not known to us his many acts of kindness, deeds of mercy words of encouragement and the healing hand he extended times without number." The service closed with vocalist Charles Forburger rendering "Abide With with Warren Colby at organ.

Many called at the Florin funeral parlors and also at the Peace Temple, where the body lay in state several hours. Interment was in Orystal Springs cemetery. Casket bearers were Edwin J. Barts, Dr. Dean Richmond, Kenneth Keefer, John Kinney, Attorney Vance Fisher and Victor Palenske.

Among those attending from out of town were Mrs. Julia MacDonald, of Sarasota, and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Huber, of Paxton, Ill. Nearly half a century marked the medical career of Dr.

King. In almost 30 years of practice here he was one of the city's leading surgeons. He retired when his health broke from the strain of his large surgical practice. MANY OPERATIONS In his day he performed hundreds of operations. The load of his practice became War grueling years, during when the late World so of the younger doctors and surgeons were called into medical service.

This undoubtedly affected his health, although the strain was lightened when the war WAS over and his son, Dr. Frank King, joined him in the practice of surgery. Son of one of Benton Harbor's early citizens and fruit growers, Alexander King, the doctor never lost his love of the country and fruit growing. Out at his large fruit farm on south Pipestone, Kingsdale, he found recreation and pleasure- -and also success--in raising peaches and other fruits. He was an ardent advocate of the simple life.

After hard day of surgery he found release from strain and stress in his orchards. Actually, he worked as hard on his farms as he did at his profession. "Keep going and keep smiling" was one of the axioms of his life. He practiced mental therapy of his own upon his patients--it was one of serenity, optimism, never give up. He was the only member of the medical staff who not only visited his own patients but those of other doctors.

He'd pop into the room of another doctor's patient, crack joke, give him a friendly pat and be on his way to another room. Dr. Frank King loved people. Attends Session Nellie M.

and Friday, Chikaming Club Fights Appraisal af GOP Group, Says Cost Excessive Directors of the Chikaming Township Republican club today called upon the Berrien county board of supervisors to reject the county-wide real estate tax assessment plan. Charles K. Perkins, Lakeside, president of the club, said, "We steei that the cost of approximately 000 would be an unnecessary expense to the taxpayers and doubt that any good would result from such an appraisal." The club's statement adopted last night at a special meeting supports the sentiment of the Chikaming supervisor, Harold V. Nelson, one of the leaders in the rural bloc on the board which opposes the plan. City supervisors who hold a majority of the seats on the county board recently passed a resolution authorizing the appraisal "in but thus far the rural group has successfully stymied outright action on the proposal.
