' (Special)-- A Republican candidate in heav- ily Democratic Wayne County sought recently to force election of delegates to the Michigan State constitutional convention on a non-partisan basis. Clayton T. Hutchison, former- ly of Oshawa and now living in Detroit, asked the Michigan State Supreme Court to compel state election officials and the board of state canvassers to show cause why the 144 con-con delegates should not be elected without regard to party affilia- tion. The Michigan State Legisla- ture has set up a partisan pri- mary for July and a general election for delegates Sept. 12. The convention will assemble Oct. 3 in Lansing to draft a new or revised state constitution. Mr. Hutchison contends the constitutional amendment au- thorizing the convention, adopt- ed by voters .last November, made no mention of partisan delegates. "It is obvious that the spirit and the intent of the amend- ment was to provide for non- partisan elections," Mr. Hutchi- son's solicitor, Gregory M. Pillon. | Mr. Pillon told the State them."

To date, more than 1,000 can- didates for delegate have filed nominations. Youth Chews On Comb LINDSAY -- What would to- day's teenager chew if no gum were available?

Teen-Age Drinkers Get Jail AJAX (Staff)--Continuing his battle against teen-age drinking, Magistrate Robert B. sentenced a Pickering Town- ship youth to three days in the county jail and also imposed a strict curfew on Monday in Ajax Magistrate's Court. Pleading guilty to a charge of consuming liquor while being a minor was Russell Sypher, 18, of Cherrywood. Constable Thomas O'Grady of the Ajax Police Department told the court that on April 23, at 1.30 a.m., he spoke to the accused in Ajax and noticed that his breath smelled strong- ly of alcohol. The officer said that the accused admitted that he had been drinking beer. Sypher told His Worship he purchased the liquor in a hotel in Oshawa. "I don't want to interfere with the methods of police investiga- tion," said Magistrate Dnieper, "but I would much rather see in court the persons who supply liquor to minors than the minors themselves." In passing sentence His Wor- ship said: "I am sending you to jail for three days to shew you what you will get should you come before me again. It will be the order of the court that you will be on probation for one year," he added. The magistrate ruled that Sypher must be home at 11 p.m. each night, except when he had to work on a night shift, and that he must be in by 12 midnight on Fridays and Satur- days. In addition His Worship ruled that the accused must re- port to the probation officer once a month and stay away from any person known to police with a criminal record.
