POOLER Editorials in FP Start Some Thinking We were reading a Free Press editorial not long ago about a comely British show girl being presented a medal for seven years of posing in the nude with some comment on how she could wear the medal. We always thought that gals of that sort had a rather thick hide! And another editorial the fsame day (those Free Press editorials do get you to thinking) about the lack of a subway system. Now we are a dunderhead at finance (ask our wife who has to handle all this apart from our whimsical departure into debts) but a happy thought occurred to us.

Hospital To Simplify Admittance An attempt to simplify procedure for admitting patients to Children's Hospital was being made Saturday to prevent the re currence of such tragedies as the death of a 15-month-old child while awaiting treatment. James McAbee, son of Mrs. Caroline McAbee, of 8261 Asbury Park, died in his mother's arms in the hospital admitting room last Wednesday night after the woman had waited nearly two hours for somebody to examine him. Cause of the death was given by the hospital as meningitis. Hospital authorities said the woman apparently wandered Into the wrong room, an orthopedics treatment room for non-emergency patients.

"There are signs all over the place, but people just walk under them without appearing see them," said Mrs. Mar garet Stewart Saturday. She is assistant administrator at Children's and is in temporary charge of the hospital during the administrator's vacation. MRS. STEWART said a study of the admissions setup to simplify and consolidate the exam- ining rooms and the bookwork has-been going on for some time.

She said that many changes have been made procedlire already, with the Intent of pre- yentinsr such an occurrence last Wednesday's, but that the PrJect not complete, A meeting- of the executive committee of the hospital is to ibe held soon to studv the circum- 15411 Wick, Allen Park. Lib brecht is a custom home builder. Others were offered a chance to participate in the purchase. One told the Free Press he backed out when he learned kickbacks were involved. Libbrecht said he also dropped out.

He said the deal "went sour." "We couldn't get FIIA approval and things weren't going according to plan. I no longer have an interest in the property. I sold out to Mr. Ford, and as far as I know he now owns all of The sale was not revealed to the Lincoln Park tax office. Records there showed the taxes were to be paid by Ecorse, until office employes noticed a report of the land sale in a newspaper.

Associates of Ford said the original plan called for grading of the 13-acre site by Ecorse DPW equipment. Then the speculators planned to divide the tract, five lots to an acre. Asking price for the lots was to be $2,500. THE 13 acres is, and has al- ways been, zoned Residential It is surrounded by new homes and quiet, tree-lined streets. The south branch of the Ecorse River forms the south ern boundary of the tract.

Ford has not yet paid the total sale price of the property. Less than a month ago he placed a $2,750 dqwn payment in the office of the Ecorse City Treasurer. The receipt for that payment shows $8,250 is still owed. Realtors said that land in the neighborhood where the land was purchased is selling for at least $5,000 per acre, before subdivision.

The deal contrasted drastically with another land transaction urged by Voisine where the Ecorse Housing Commission has appraised at $200,000 a parcel of land most of which was offered for sale in a Free Press classified ad 18 months ago at $24,000. That deal involves a Federal low rent housing project, to be called Voisine Terrace, in a slum area at Salliotte and the Detroit fc Toledo Shore Line railroad tracks. Representing the purchasers in the 13-acre deal with Ecorse was Lorell M. Ford, of 14890 Horger, Allen Park. Ford, formerly asso ciated with Henry V.

(Cap) Her-lick, Democratic nominee for Wayne County Drain Commis- sioner, is now in business with Arch F. Sword. Lincoln Park real estate dealer. HEKKICK SAID he knew about Ford's purchase of the land, but denied any knowledge i of the details. i "Ford sold the land to him-! self and his associates, and took a 10 per cent commission.

1 got 85 per cent of Ford's commission, since he was working from my office. But I don't know any more than that." Herrick said the property, according to his records, was purchased by Ford at $13,000. The receipt for the down payment in the Treasurer's Office in Ecorse, however, indicated the sale price was $11,000. Ford left two weeks ago for a California trip. He is expected to return Monday.

His family remained in Allen Park. Sword denied any connection with or knowledge of the land deal.

The youths, one 16 and one 15, isaid they broke a window to enter the Maole Lane drivinsr subway system? They could be both the same thing. If this Government can pay farmers to go out in the fields and not grow crops, what's wrong with us getting some Federal money to not build bomb shelters but, instead, build a subway system of transportation? As in Russia they build a subway as a defense system against bombs? Our practical wife, looking up from writing checks she hopes take care of everything, said, "Of course you're kidding in your sly way but wouldn't it be fine to use these Federal appropriations for roads and bomb shelters to build an underground system of mass transportation for America particularly for Detroit the arsenal of America?"
