In digging deep into the Underground (occasionally stop- ping at sewer level), Garg dredged up psychedelic poetry, advice to the busted, the Russian Revolu- tion and Vietnam. Consistency does not seem to be oetry and prose Sinks to Sewer Level i i G V 1ET ROCK Nov. 27-30--8:30 5th Dimension -I- I i c one of Garg's strong points. This installment runs the gamut from bare-breasted broad to survival notes for the drug-drenched jungle. Steven Combes' instructive expose of the Ann Arbor underground tells it like it is-names the names. Though probably the best written piece in the issue, its bluntness hits too close, rings too true to be real- ly funny. Humor from Vietnam is another misplaced collection-ob- servations too true to laugh at. On the lighter side is the inter- view with J. Fred Oracle. a fre- quently hilarious series of solutions to national and domestic problems. Tackling the three R's (Race, Reli- gion, and Romney), J. Fred me- thodically and effectively makes, "profound and significant sense out of the chaos of contemporary politics." Unfortunately this is not the tone setting article. Notes From the Underground, the supposed theme article, is a dismal failure of grass roots sen- timent. Haight-Ashbury may be dying, but there's more going on in Traverse City. Mich. than plant- ing catalpa trees (I'll bet). I mean the Underground is definitely what's been happening, and flow- er-power is certainly into the grass roots, but canabis as the new cash crop in Kansas??? iI Jurlst Suggests Riots Require Martial Law UILD' Tonight and Tomorrow THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE Dir. Clyde Bruckman, 1935 I By STEVE WILDSTROM It might have been a better idea to impose martial law during last summer's riot in Detroit than to attempt to process 7,000 cases through normal criminal proced- ures, Michigan Supreme Court Jus- tice Theodore Souris said yester- day. Speaking at an Ann Arbor Legal Aid Society meeting at the Law- yers Club, Justice Souris said, "I would hate to seemartial law im- posed in this country during my lifetime. But I think some of us should start thinking seriously about this as an alternative." Martial Law "I would like to ask," he con- tinued, "if martial law would not have been better than the judicial procedures used during the riot." Justice Souris said courtroom procedures used, in which 750 to 800 {cases were processed by 13 Recorders' (criminal) Court judges each day, left those arrested with "an unfavorable impact of their experiences on their attitudes to- wards law and order." These un- favorable attitudes towards the legal process, he continued, would be passed around to friends and neighbors and "their effect will be multiplied many times." Souris, an associate justice, has been on the Michigan Supreme Court since 1960. He formerly was a Wayne County Circuit judge. Judicial Problems, He said many of the judicial, problems which arose during and after the riot occured because "it; was practically impossible for judges and courtroom personnel to function in what I consider to3 be a judicially proper manner." Itgmight have been better, he suggested, for the courts to simply, inform the executive authorities, that they could not handle theF crush of cases presented by the disorder. Under martial law, what would ordinally be criminal of- fenses are handled by militaryE authorities. Breakdowns in the administra- tive and executive branches of1 government, Justice Souris said,! were responsible for many of theI problems encountered by thec courts. Riot Cases During the first crush of riot cases, he said, only three of 13 Recorders' Court courtrooms were being used at any given time and 27 Circuit judges were idle because all Circuit Court proceedings had been suspended. Justice Souris said, however, that police and prosecutors office officials claimed it was impossible to use the Cir- cuit judges to help because they did not have sufficient personnel to find records, guard prisoners and prosecute additional cases. To guard against a recurrence of what he called "a miscarriage of justice" in the "possibility if not probability" of further dis- orders, Justice Souris proposed several changes in the administra- tion of the judicial process. He said skilled personnel, such as fingerprint experts and warrant clerks, from all courts and depart- ments should be mobilized imme- diately to help process cases. Dur- ing the riot, he said, it was some time before warrant clerks from Circuit Court and the police de- partment, and state police and FBI fingerprint experts were brought innto help Recorders' Court personnel. Prisoner Detainment He further suggested that provi- sions be made in advance for de- tainment of large numbers of pris- oners. Last July, prisoners were kept long periods in the garages of police stations and in buses out- side the County Jail. "One of the most distressing occurences during the riot . . . was the long deten- tion of human beings in condi- tions that were less than fit for human beings," he said. Justice Souris, along with Prof. Yale Kamisar of the law school, criticized a Recorders' Court deci- sion to use court-appointed at- torneys in place of a voluntary de- fense system set up during the riot by the Detroit Bar Association. After a number of arraignments had been completed, the court decided to replace the voluntary counsels with that they called "skilled practitioners," Justice Souris said. "When this is done," he con- tinued, "there are going to be more decisions disposing of cases in an expeditious manner." Justice Souris commended a pro- posal made by the Detroit Bar that the present system of court-ap- pointed attorneys for indigent de- fendants be replaced by a so- called private defender system. So far okay, high points and low'starrin ones, but gee fellas must you sink so low? Elephant jokes already be- W. C. Fields! long to the nostalgic past along with bathroom humor. If you're "A riotous blend of going to borrow or dig up old jokes eloquent pantomime, at least be selective. There should inspired inanities, and be more purpose to them then just unpredictable filling up space-the advertise- eccentricities." ments do that much more humor- ously. 7:00 and 9:05 And then there's the six page illustrated summary of Russian ARCHITECTURE pre- and post-revolutionary poli- tics in honor of the Fiftieth Anni- versary of the October (or was it - STILL ONLY 50c- November) Revolution.

I k TA1: I 0 JEWS as a recognized national minority in the Soviet Union are allowed none of the typical cultural institutions guaranteed every other minority. ---no books, no schools, no theatre, no newspapers ... in the Yiddish language. They are the only religious community forbidden to have any contact, re- lations, or ties with co-religionists abroad. Neither have they a national body-unlike all other ethnic or religious communities. They may not manufacture Jewish religious articles: -no prayerbooks, prayer shawls, phylacteries, and for the greatest part, no matzot. 10,000 Hebrew prayerbooks were promised by the government -none was printed For its population of close to 3,000,000, only 97 synagogues were in ex- istence in 1966. All the rest-many thousands-- were shut down or con- fiscated. Moscow, with half a million Jews has one synagogue. Kosygin promised permission to Jews who wished to reunite with families, especially in Israel. -virtually none has received this permission. The press teems with anti-Jewish stereotypes. Since the Arab-Israeli War, Jews are vilified and assaulted as being friends, if not agents-of the "imperialist" State of Israel. ^i 'iC your college let ters IMPORTED BRIAR Do the VIET ROCK Nov. 27-30-8:30 NOW AT YOUR LOCAL STORE $495 AND 59 "GIVE ME A RIDDLE" 5th Dimension A Film by DAVID SCH ICKLE Ti9At et THE ARK 8:30 P.M. 1421 Hill Street IMAGES OF THE U.S.A.
