Two actions this week by the "lame duck" County Board of Supervisors have been attacked by Mrs. Arthur (Eugenia) Carpenter, a candidate for the new 13-member board from District Six which is Ann Arbor's Ward; Four. She criticized appointments to boards and commissions of supervisors who are going off the county board, terming itl "more than a flagrant example of cronyism," and a "delibérate effort to circumvent the U. S. Supreme Court's one-man, onevote decsion with respect to local government." She also "denounces" plans for a voluntary county councilj which she says is apparently designed "to take care of their lame duck members who may be left out in the cold af ter Jan. 1." Both actions reflect "an effort by a nonrepresentative,[ rural dominated legislative body to achieve perpetuation of its power and influence at the expense of the democratie process," Mrs. Carpenter charged.
