STARTS TOMORROW ! the news today by The Associated Press and College Press Service FRENCH PRESIDENT GEORGES POMPIDOU returned to France yesterday bidding a smiling "au revoir" to the American people. Pompidou's visit has been marked by numerous pro-Israel de- monstrations protesting a French sale of 110 Mirage jet fighters to Arab Libya. At one point last weekend Pompidou was physically assaulted by a crowd in Chicago. His anger over the incident threatened a diplo- matic crisis, with the French president reportedly planning to cut short his visit. However, President Nixon moved quickly to prevent a possible international incident. He telephoned Pompidou to apologize, then flew to New York to take part in a Waldorf-Astoria banquet honoring the French dignitary. THE FIVE CONVICTED DEFENDANTS in the Chicago 7 trial have been billed $41,748 in court costs. In sentencing the five defendants to five years in prison, Judge Julius Hoffman fined them $5,000 each plus court costs. The costs are for court transcripts, docket fees, and the cost of government witnesses. The biggest expense was for the transcript- $32,917. The bill has been sent to defense attorneys William Kunstler and Leonard Weinglass and can be, paid by any or all of the de- fendants. The bill cannot be collected, however, if the convictions are over- ruled on appeal. * * * THE EDITOR of a Polish-American newspaper has launched a campaign against Polish jokes. Chester Grabowski, editor of the Post Eagle, an English-language weekly published in Clifton, N.J., said that he and others in his cam- paign do not mind "inoffensive" jokes about the Polish, but they do mind all the jokes that "make the Polish look like fools." Grabowski accused television as being among the worst offend- ers in terms of perpetrating offensive Polish jokes. He specifically singled out Rowan and Martin's "Laugh-In," the "Tonight Show," the "Carol Burnett Show," and the "Joan Rivers Show." - * * A HOUSE-SENATE CONFERENCE ,COMMITTEE yesterday approved a bill that would bar cigarette advertising from radio and television as of Jan. 1, 1971. The bill now goes back to the House and Senate for almost cer- tain approval. "By next year, cigarette advertising will move into the history books of television," declared Sen. Warren G. Magnuson, D-Wash., chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. * * * POLICE AND WHITE PARENTS clashed at a recently inte- grated school in Lamar, S.C. The group of 100 whites attacked two school buses carrying black pupils. The blacks were being bused to the previously all-white school in accordance with a federal court integration order. Several blacks were injured by bricks and shattered glass. School officials removed the 32 black pupils before the buses were overturned by the crowd of whites. Police dispersed the whites with teargas after a short battle. BRITAIN YESTERDAY asked for an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council to oppose recognition of the newly pro- claimed Republic of Rhodesia. On Monday, Prime Minister Ian Smith declared Rhodesia a republic, thus severing all ties with Britain.

Emergency riot legislation claimed- to be unconsitutional I Nixon asks special rail legislation Nation-wide strike slated for tonight WASHINGTON (M -- Presi- dent Nixon asked Congress yesterday to block a nation- wide rail strike by ordering ac- ceptance of a tentative wage and job 'Jurisdiction settle- ment for some 45,000 workers. "A nation-wide stoppage of rail service would cause hardships to human beings and harm to our economy, and must not be per- mitted to take place," Nixon said in a message to Congress just two hours after four AFL-CIO shop- craft unions called a strike for one minute after midnight tonight. "Speed is essential," said Sec- retary of Labor George P. Shultz in a White House briefing ex- plaining Nixon's unprecedented proposal for a mandatory settle- ment. "We hope Congress will act quickly," Shultz said. "We'd like to see them act tomorrow." Nixon's bill would impose as final a settlement worked out by negotiators for the four unions but rejected by a majority of the members of one union. The settle- ment would include a 68-cent raise in current wages of $3.60 an hour for the workers who repair and maintain railroad equipment. It would also include the con- troversial provision to permit the workers of all four unions to cross each others traditional job juris- diction lines to do a limited amount of work, which therail- road industry insisted'upon to in- crease efficiency. Members of the Machinists, Electricians and Boilermakers un- ions had voted approval but re- jection by less than 3,000 sheet- metal workers has prevented a voluntary settlement. "We must not submit to the chaos of a nation-wide rail stop- page because a minority of the af- fected workers rejected a contract agreed to by their leadership," Nixon said. "The public interest comes first." Asked if the bill was likely to become a precedent for manda- tory labor settlements in all such cases, Shultz said "Of course not." He added that such emer- gency cases are rare. Chief union negotiator William W. Winpisinger announced th e nation-wide strike call, saying a federal court order barringa strike against only one railroad had left the unions no alternative. MUSKET All Campus Theatrical Company 1 WASHINGTON (RP) -The local; ordinances that were hurriedly en- acted to give mayors emergency powers during racial outbreaks of the past several years are ap- proaching their ultimate legal tests. The Supreme Court was asked yesterday to rule on the validity of ordinances which give local authorities the right to prohibit assemblies because of suspected civil unrest. Such measures were passed in numerousU.S. cities to cope with racial disturbances which erupted in the late 1960s, particularly those following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968. The ordinances allow mayors or other authorities to take various emergency steps, but nearly all Carey leaves 'U' news post Christopher R. (Chris) Carey, managing editor of the Univer- sity's News Service since October, 1966, will leave that position at, the end of this month to work on the copy desk of the Detroit Free Press. The change represents a return to newspaper work for Carey who was employed on the copy desk of the Louisville (Ky.) Courier- Journal before coming to the Uni- versity in June, 1965. He was employed as a public af- fairs officer at the University Medical Center before moving to the position from which he is now resigning. Carey plans to commute daily from his home in Ann Arbor. His successor at News Service has not been selected. include the power to ban assem- blies or to declare outright cur- fews. The particular ordinance to be ruled upon by the Supreme Court was passed in Philadelphia, and although it is being attacked on rather narrowly defined grounds the outcome is expected to have nationwide implications. The petition filed with the court appeals the convictions of three persons arrested during demon- strations that were held despite a' proclamation issued immediately' after King's death. The proclama- tion banned outdoor assemblies of 12 or more people, with a few ex- ceptions. The first arrests were made April 6, 1968, at a tree-planting cere- mony in Philadelphia's Roosevelt' Park protesting the recommission- ing of the battleship New Jersey for service in the Vietnam war. The ceremony had been planned before the proclamation was is- sued. The petition says that while participants in the tree-planting ceremony were being arrested, "more than 10,000 persons were permitted to congregate, in the Navy Yard, a few blocks away, to take part in the public ceremonies recommissioning the New Jersey." "Appellants and more than 100 other persons whose cases await the outcome of this appeal have been convicted of crimes for their quiet participation in open polit- ical assemblies of a wholly peace- ful character," the Supreme Court was told. To ban such assemblies and make arrests under a broad pro- clamation prohibiting peaceful as well as violent or potentially vio- lent gatherings, the appellants argued, violates First Amendment guarantees of free speech and as- sembly. Sea grams saved from pound By BEVERLY MAZER Last Thursday afternoon a dog walked into W e s t Quad cafeteria. No disruption of cafeteria procedure occurred; the dog sat down among his owners a n d quietly enjoyed the atmosphere.. Leon West, director of West Quad, stood at the opposite end of the cafeteria checking for students without their meal tickets. He spotted the dog and reportedly jumped to throw him out. "Aw," yelled the students as West chased the dog under the tables. Frightened, the poor dog yelped. West paid no attention, grabbed the dog and walked out of the cafeteria. The dog, whose name is Sea- grams, is a collie who has been staying at Williams and Wen- ley Houses in West Quad for the past month-and-a-half, living off table - scraps and snacks from the students. When he did not return as usual Thursday night, residents in West Quad got worried and called West. West informed them that he had sent the dog -to the Wash- tenaw County Humane Society for "crossing cafeteria lines." "He will be gassed within three days if not bailed out," West continued. Disgusted, the students of Wenley House hung up the phone. West later said that the dog had been around too long with- out anyone doing anything about him. "I finally got tired of fiddling around with him, so I just kicked him out," said West. A group from Wenley and Williams Houses headed by Tom Kush, '71, and Ken Szozo, '73 A&D, started a committee, the Seagrams Seven Ad Hoc Com- mittee to rescue Seagrams from a gassing. Posters were put up denounc- ing West's actions and asking for money to help pay the fine. Students claimed West then went around West Quad ripping them down. Meanwhile, as West and the West Quad "Seagrams Seven Committee" battled it o ut, a group from Delta Theta Phi law fraternity - original owners of Seagrams (alias Roger at the time) - paid the fine and got Seagrams out. With Seagrams freed, West Quad students claim the con- flict has been resolved in their favor. II _.
