But he's a man people trust and so they freely answered questions about their lives in the inner city, their debts, their fears, their loneliness.

Twice this year once last spring and again this week Leaf, the world-known author of more than 40 children's books, has eaten with Detroit families, visited in their living rooms and on their porches.

Talks Recessed; Strike in 183th Day BV STAN PUTNAM Free Press Staff Writer Officials of the Wyandotte Chemicals Corp. were seeking grounds Thursday to support a petition to disqualify Wayne County Circuit Judge Thomas E. Bren-nan from hearing court cases arising from the 1S5-day strike against the firm.

Company executives and lawyers were studying newspaper stories and TV film clips to determine whether remarks made by Brennan last week would substantiate a disqualification motion. Brennan had charged at a meeting of Wyandotte ness and community leaders that the company was pro-: longing the strike in an effort to "destroy the union mem-I bers' faith in their leadership."

Nancy's been getting up at 6 a.m. for a year, which explains why her entries won the grand championship and two other titles. The 13-year-old girl, who lives on a farm eight miles southwest of Ann Arbor, amazed the judges by walking off with trophies for the champion Hereford, the champion Angus and the grand champion steer.

The show ended Thursday night at the State Fairgrounds Coliseum. "Winning the championship in two breeds is extremely rare in fact, I just don't remember it ever happening before," said Dr. Ralph Morrow, assistant professor of animal husbandry at Michigan State L'niversity. "I've been working on them all day long for the last three weeks," Nancy Baid. "I'd get up at 6 o'clock and brush them for about three hours.

Nancy's entries and the other winners and losers among the steers, swine and sheep which 300 4-H Club boys and girls entered in the show were auctioned off for top prices. A COMPANY motion to disqualify Brennan would have to be made before Presiding Judge Thomas Murphy, of the Wayne County Circuit Court, who could decide the case himself or assign it to another Circuit judge. It was Brennan who effected the resumption of negotiations last month between Wyandotte Chemical and striking Local 7-627 of the Oil. Chemical and Atomic Workers Union. The local's 1,570 workers have been idled sinre May 4 in one of the longest strikes in the Detroit area.

Brennan is scheduled to preside next Wednesday at a show cause hearing on a union complaint that the company is in contempt of court because it allegedly employs strikebreakers in a limestone storage area in Riverview. ItDGK Brennan had issued injunctions in June forbidding the company to employ strikebreakers, and forbidding the union to impede traffic into and out of the plant. The plant has been operating at about 75 percent of capacity with administrative personnel performing the jobs of the striking workers. THEY WILL.

Federally-financed READ programs Remedial Education for Adults. Ln Detroit, 2,600 adults are learning to read in 85 centers. Leaf, 60, is creator of the famous, 2S-year-old "Watch-bird" series, "Ferdinand," and the "Can Be Fun" books. His books have been translated into 26 languages and he has twice circled the world teaching children the lessons of life through entertaining sketches and stories. He spoke to 1,000 children from 20 area schools during the 12th Annual Detroit Children's Book Fair Thursday at Wayne State University.

He drew Watchbirds. He told the 30-yeax-old story, which they all knew by heart, of Robert Frances Weather-bee, the boy who couldn't grow up to be president of the United States or a fireman because he couldn't read. Gathering up his books afterward, Leaf told how of growing interest in adult illiteracy. Thursday night, at McGregor Center, he talked on the subject. "I refuse to write the books hurriedly," he said.

"The country is going to have warehouses full of rejected, worthless adult reading texts. It's a subject worthy of great effort." RAY FKRRIER, director of Detroit's Adult Educa.tion program and supervisor of READ, guided Munro through both of his research trips here. "We have adults in the city who migrated from the rural South 15 years ago and who need reading help," Ferrier said. "We have them such a short time in class maybe 300 hours at best and we need material with significant content. "Leaf has dug deeper than any other individual.

He's the one person who visited them, lived ith them. One Sunday last spring, we sat together with a woman listening to a luidamentalist church service. "He found that the church is one of the key forces in motivating people." Early adult classes in Detroit used the Dick and Jane stories which Ferrier and his teachers found inadequate. Currently, some 30 texts are available; but none which will probe as deeply as Leafs. Fre Press Photo by DICK No.
