The council instructed the city attorney Wednesday to draw up a resolution against what it called a "plain violation of the principle of home rule." The resolution also is to urge the governor's veto. Council members said the bill would cost the city $1,400,000 an nually in fees and might cut off another million dollars in utility franchise fees. A spokesman for the city attor ney said there also might be much litigation over the fran chise fee matter if the bill be came law. from its near North Side neigh bors by two plump, round domes. The theater-type temple was built by the Masonic fraternity. It has been used for such occi dental activities as circuses and conventions. Friday it will house the annual meeting of Montgomery Ward & Co. stockholders. Their chief business will be to decide whether the 721 million dollar firm will remain under the con trol of Scwell L. Avery or shift to the command of Louis . Wolfson. The battle of these titans of in dustry will be witnessed by hun dreds. There are seats for 4,500 on the main floor and in the bal cony. There will be accomoda tions for an additional 2.000 in the basement. The sharehouldcrs can listen or speak via a pub lic address system, equipped with mobile microphones. t .

But those who want to vote in person or cast a ballot that will supersede a previously mailed proxy will walk to a par lor containing eight voting tables. Hie next item on the program is "questions and discussions." But the place on the agenda of this item already has drawn a protest from Wolfson. He has demanded "free and open discussion before the votes are cast." DECISION IN 3 WEEKS John Barr, Ward vice president and secretary, rejoined: "There will be a full opportu nity for asking any questions. No stockholder will be forced to vote before he's ready to vote." At the end of the session, the meeting will be adjourned prob ably for three weeks.

Hutchins Thursday revived the once - controversial proposal to create a non-press, non-government agency to check on the per formance by newspapers of their public responsibilities. I Hutchins, chairman of the Fund jfor the Republic, Inc., did so in an address at the opening session of the 3-day annual meeting of the American Society of News paper Editors. The editors six years ago re jected the proposal made orig inally in 1949 by the Commission on Freedom of the Press headed by Hutchins. Hutchins renewed the sugges tion Thursday with criticisms only slightly less barbed than those of the commission he head ed in 1949. He told the approxi mately 400 editors that "most of you have watched the erosion of freedom without a twinge," and accepted incidents in connection with it "as . . . routine." With "monopoly newspapers" holding the field in 94 per cent of the cities, he said, the press has a greater duty than ever be fore to abandon the "entertain ment" of readers and devote it self to what he called its pur pose "the enlightenment of the people about their current affairs."
