In 1966, Dearborn was the first city In the United States to hold an advisory referendum on the Vietnam war. The voters supported a military victory. Two years later, in 1968, Dearborn became the first Michigan city to adopt a controversial stop-and-frisk ordinance. BY JUDITH FRUTIG Fret rrM Stiff wriwr "I'll probably hang around here until I die on the job," Dearborn Mayor Orville Hubbard announced Thursday morning. It was the first day of this 31st year as mayor and Hubbard was celebrating the occasion by holding court at a press conference at city hall.

Surrounded by signs from well-wishers and plaques with messages like "A Man Who Gets Things Done," "God Bless You" and "Scheme," Hubbard reminisced about some of the advances and fiTsts he has brought Dearborn. UNDER HIS administration, the annual Orville Hubbard Last 2 Days! Sale Ends Saturday Hubbard brags about Dearborn's safe streets. "We have the lowest crime rate in the Police Boiling at Lie Tests; Nichols Brushes Off Anger r. Continued from Page 1A that duty is fulfilled. "It all comes down to a question of one single thing," Nichols said.

"Who is running the department? "I think I am." Nichols blamed the conflict chiefly on his decision to use polygraph (lie detector) tests in department investigations. Nichols said he has ordered polygraph tests only once since he became commissioner in October, 1970. That case involved a felony but a warrant was denied and the investigation has reached an impasse, he said. IN THE FUTURE, Nichols said, he intends to use lie detectors on policemen: When Integrity of the department is at stake. When all other means of investigation have failed to arrive at a conclusion.

When a criminal warrant has been asked and rejected. When no other investigative body is involved-Nichols said attorneys for any policemen ordered to take the tests would be informed of all questions that would be asked. He said the tests would not be used for "exploratory purposes." Nichols justified his decision by saying that while police deserve the co-operation of citizens, citizens also have a right to expect integrity, co-operation and honesty of their policemen. "The department consists of a large body of honorable, WELBILT Compact Budget 210-lb.

"If among us are some who must be excised, then so be it. "I will stand or fall on this basis," the commissioner de- NICHOLS, WHO rose from he ranks to the top when Commissioner Patrick Murphy left to take over the New York Po-1 i Department, had been generally hailed by the rank and file at the time of his appointment. There had been no indication over the months that the good relationship between the commissioner and his men had deteriorated. Nichols said the outbreak developed only recently when two officers were suspended for refusing to take a lie detector test as ordered during a department investigation of alleged wrongdoing. He did not Identify the officers or the wrongdoing.

Nichols said he has been on "fairly amiable terms" with DPOA President Carl Parsell. He said he had advised Parsell of his decision to use lie detector tests and the guidelines that would govern their use. Nichols said he deplored the difficulties with the DPOA and their possible effect on department morale.

nation I think," offered Hubbard Thursday. It doesn't. FBI records show Albany, N.Y., Allentown, Cedar Rapids, Columbus, Lincoln, and Scranton, all had less crime in 1970. Then the bulky, controversial mayor talked about some of his favorite topics: Law and Order: "You've got to be on your toes all the time today I'm in favor of shooting (criminals) on the spot. When you've got a mad dog, you shoot him." Crime: "I'd hate to blame the black man for all of this, but I think most of this is in that group." Dearborn's crime rate: "People come out from Detroit to do damage to each other.

One fellow brought his girl friend out here and killed her; we're charged with the crime." Newspaper coverage: "Generally lousy. A fellow was in here from out of town to do a story on me. He said: 'Why can't I find anything good about you in the I said, 'That's because I don't print Race: "Lincoln was ready to ship them (blacks) back to where they came from. Now Mrs. Nixon is in Ghana court- them." WITH ALL HIS flamboyance, Dearborn has flourished under his administration, and he runs the city with the precision of a military installation.

Every city worker, including the mayor, punches in and out on a time clock. His 22 department heads (all men) wear pagers on their belts. When their signals sound for them to call in for a message, they scuttle to the nearest phone. The years are slowing Hubbard down and he admits it. He's 69 years old and his fabled 7 a.m.

staff meetings are now held at 1:45 p.m., after lunch. He has increasing problems moving his massive bulk, well over 200 pounds, but he jokes about his weight problem. "My midsection overexposes me," he laughs. Still, while other Detroit suburbs have watched their short-term mayors come and go, Hubbard stays on and on and on. There are those who believe that Hubbard has remained in office because he has kept Dearborn an all-white suburb.

He has a simple, and loaded, answer to his success. "I do what people want," he says. Heroic Fireman Saves 2, Then Is Felled by Smoke A Detroit fireman saved two elderly persons from a burning house Thursday evening, then collapsed and was rushed to Detroit General Hospital for treatment.

Verschaeve was listed in temporarily serious condition at the hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation.

"When I came out, I thought my heart was going to come through my chest," he said at the hospital. Mrs. Lazarus and Corbet, a handyman, also were listed in temporarily serious condition suffering from smoke inhalation. The fire, caused by a cigaret In an overstuffed chair, was quickly controlled, but caused extensive damage to the living room and other parts of the home, firemen said. the papers," Nichols said.

"It might have a negative effect. It might create an air of uncertainty." MEANWHILE, the city administration adapted quickly to the outbreak of hostilities. An announcement from Mayor Gribbs' office that the Police Academy would graduate a new class of cadets Thursday night was issued as a "communique from the War Zone." "Reports from the front GENERAL ELECTRIC Deluxe-Featured REFRIGERATOR pp rVeezerjios J0 ml today indicate that there have been sporadic attacks at a couple of the perimeter outposts," the communique read.
