publicity Riven it. corporation and
union spokesmen agreed Saturday.
As a result, the Town Hall a|>-

used again.
A UAW-CIO spokesman said:
“This has served its purpose.
It will probably never be re
peated.”
A GM spokesman said:
“We can’t see an> controversy
In the future that would call for
public debate. However, if it was
biR enough and of great general
Interest, we might do it again.”

Bull in Office
Defies City Law
Ferdinand, the performing hull
discovered bedded down in a first -
floor office suite of a huilding at
jI.T6 Griswold street, will have to
move to greener pastures, Ernest
Povlitz, city building maintenance
man, said Saturday.
Povlitz, who has been laughing
steadily since he found the hull,
cites a 1911 ordinance which pro
hibits bulls in office buildings. The
ordinance provides also lhat a bull
'must have four attendants in
charge whenever he is moved.
“I’ll probably have to get the
attendant* through the civil
service commission,” said Pov
lit/.
Tex Mosley, wbo ow ns the bull
and performs nightly with him at
Club 509 at 509 Woodward avenue,
leads Ferdinand around by a ring
in bis nose.
“We'll serve Tex with a notice
to xacate, but he will still ha\e
two weeks before we can take
him to court,” Povlitz said. "A
friend of mine saw the bull per
form last night and he tells me
that FYrdinand is such a meek
hull that he would catch cold If
we made him get out of the
building.”
