said in his speech: "We have
to stand up against a move
to get soccer on the cheap
by the Jews who run TV."
Lord, a campaigner for
bigger royalties for football
clubs whose games are tele-
vised, said later, "If I have
hurt anybody's feelings, I
apologize."
Bryan Cowgill, head of
BBC Television Sport, and
his independent television
counterpart, Bill Ward, sent
a joint telegram of protest
to Sir Andrew Stephen, chair-
man of the Football Associa-
tion, and Len Shipman, presi-
dent of the Football League,
urging them to repudiate
Lord's remarks as "not being
in the interests of football or
honorable behavior." They
described Lord's remarks as
"abhorrent and obscene."
Councilor Cyril Carr, im-
mediate past chairman of the
Liberal Party and member
of the Liverpool Municipal
Council was among the
guests who walked out. He
said "It was offensive and
distasteful."
Film director Michael
Samuelson, chairman of the
Variety Club of Great Brit-
ain, said, "Actually, none of
the BBC executives who ne-
gotiate these things is Jewish
anyway. The same goes for
independent television."
Industry--and
that means

a reliable supp
of electricity_
Industry must grow to
provide jobs in Southeastern
Michigan. And industrial
expansion depends upon a
reliable supply of electricity.
We must maintain our
system and build new plants
and electric lines to meet all
electrical needs. But our
. costs are rising fast.
That's one of the reasons
we have to ask for price
increases.
You can't take electricity
for granted anymore. but
well continue to do our best
to provside reliable electric
service now and in the future.
