The two seamen reportedly forced the ammunition carrier into harbor at gunpoint as an anti-war protest. The head of the United States mission in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, has met, with Foreign Ministry officials to dis- cuss thenrelease of the ship, which was carrying over 5,000 tons of bombs and other munitions to Thailand. Fourteen crewmen remain on the ship. The other 24 crew mem- bers were picked up Monday after they were set adrift. PRESIDENT NIXON yesterday freed $1.5 billion in federal and state funds to stimulate the housing industry. Saying that the nation is moving back toward stable prices, Nixon lifted his anti-inflationary freeze on federal-state funds for schools, hospitals, roads and other public projects. At the same time, he asked for a series of actions by Congress and federal agencies to spur lagging home building and hinted that the Federal Reserve Board should loosen money supplies. SOUTH VIETNAMESE ARTILLERY yesterday went to the aid of Cambodian soldiers attempting to drive Viet Cong from their soil. United States officials said that it was a purely l6cal decision and did not need Saigon's approval. Sources reported that a Cambodian officer asked a South Vietnam province chief for the artillery support in pushing the Viet Cong across the Cambodian border. This action represent an unprecedented Cambodian-South Viet- namese cooperation against the Viet Cong, said U.S. officials. Aerial observers reported that at least five Viet Cong were killed. * * * ABOUT 20 PEOPLE were killed and over 100 injured in India yesterday as supporters of feuding political parties clashed vio- lently in the streets.' Armed with bombs, spears, knives and axes, mobs battled while supporters of the Marxist Communist Party attempted to enforce a general strike called to protest the fall of the West Bengal State government. The Marxist Communist Party had previously dominated the coalition government of West Bengal which collapsed last Monday. Observers believed that the Indian government would likely im- pose New Delhi's administration on the strife-ridden state until an- other coalition could be formed. FOURTEEN ARMY OFFICERS, including the superintendent at West Point, yesterday were charged with military violations in connection with the alleged massacre at Song My. The charges, ranging from dereliction of duty to false swearing, _ were the outgrowth of a 14-week Pentagon probe of whether the Army adequately investigated or tried to cover up the alleged mass killings of South Vietnamese civilians by American soldiers in March, 1968. MILITANT FARMERS hoping to drive up prices yesterday decided to send all of their Idaho potatos to starch plants instead of dinner tables. A National Farm Workers Organization spokesman said the tactic would allow a four-weeklold holding action to continue "indefinitely." The campaign is aimed at driving up prices paid by firms which dominate the growers' market - firms which package and resell both fresh and converted potatos i I I 7 i >>:,' { Gov. page three Wednesday, March 18, 1970 Ann Arbor, Michigan Page Three ABOR TION LAW urges retort 5 Academy Award Nominations including Best Picture -Associated Press UMW hearing witness George L.

U bil From Wire Service Reports Gov. William Milliken gave a boost to chances for abortion reform in Michigan yesterday when he announced his sup- port for a sweeping reform of the current abortion laws. Milliken said he would support legislation allowing the abortion decision to be made by the preg- nant woman and her qualified, li- censed physician, if the abortion would occur in the first three months of pregnancy, or after three months only under excep- tional conditions. Milliken would further ask that a three-month residency require- ment be included in the bill, along with the provision that the 'opera.. tion take place in a hospital, olin- Ic, or other facility licensed, certi- fled, and inspected by the state Department of Public Health. For unmarried"women-under18, consent for an abortion would have to be secured from a parent or legal guardian. Current state law allows term- ination of pregnancy only when the life of the mother in endang- ered. "It is necessary to act at this time so that lives can besaved, and much suffering can be pre- vented and the illegal abortion trade can be stopped," the gov- ernor said. "I believe that women should be able to make an in- dividual judgment and that the result of this Judgment should be respected and protected by 'law." Milliken's plan would include provisions that no physician or hospital staff member would be compelled to assist in an abortion operation against his conscience. Several abortion reform propos- als, including one that spells out nearly all of the governor's re- quirements, are pending in the Senate Committee on Health, Soc- ial Services, and Retirement, head- ed by Sen. N. Lorraine Beebe (R- Dearborn), an ardent backer of abortion reform. Sen. Beebe could not be reached yesterday to comment on the ef- fect Milliken's stand could have on the legislative action. In support of the abortion re- form movement, hundreds of housewives from all major cities in the Lower Peninsula are expected to converge on Lansing this morn- ing. Some will participate in what they call a "dignified walk" around the capitol, while others w ill buttonhole their legislators an d ask them to take a liberal stand on the abortion issue. In a related development, the New YorkState Senate is Sched- uled to open debate today on an abortion reform bill which, like the proposed Michigan bill, make abortion a private matter to 'be decided by the woman and her physician. According toobservers in Albany, the bill hassnely enough support for passage. funds. 'EEKS STATE CONTROL. Senator proposes'amendment to end 'U' financial autonomy GP Now at the CAMPUS Theatre DIAL 8-6416 Proposede ResoUion For Consideration By Black Staff and Faculty A group of Black Faculty and Staff members who met at the Michigan Union on Monday, March 16, are greatly disturbed at the impending impasse between the University Admin- istration and the Black Action Movement regarding the Black Student Demands. It would be most unfortunate if the discussions that have been held so far were to break down over issues which appear to us to be easily resolved. 1. We suggest that a distinction be made between admissions policy on the one hand and financial assistance to Black students on the other, It is unfortunate that the Administration has always sought to deal with these issues jointly. We suggest that the University could and should constitute 10% of the student body enrolled at the University by 1973-74. 2. With regard to financial assistance, we suggest that the University provide total fi- nancial assistance to Black students when needed, and partial financial assistance where warranted. In other words we are suggesting adequate financial assistance based on the particular Black student needs. In this connection, we suggest thej creation of a Financial Task Force, comprised of Black staff and students, to be created with the specific task of identifying financial resources within the Univer- sity to support the Black students enrolled. 3. We urge the University to respond specifically as to the exact nature of its commit- ment to all the programs menioned in the BAM proposal. We the undersigned, wish to indicate our strong support for the BAM requests which call for greater Black enrollment and increased services. As members of the University, we strongly urge the Administration to respond to the BAM proposal with urgency. SIGNATURES: I I I a t f e a n t: b t: 14 L' a n it, S1 tl e: fl w n A state senator has proposed an amendment to the state consti- tution which would remove the inancial autonomy of t h e gov- erning boards of s t a t e colleges and universities. The proposed amendment would make the boards "answerable to the state Legislature," according to Sen. Stanley Rozycki (D-De- troit) who introduced the measure Monday. The governing board at t h e University is the Regents. The section of the constitution which entitles the boards to fi- nancial autonomy states that 'each board shall have general supervision of its institution and the control and direction of all expenditures from the institution's funds." Specifically, t h e amendment, which came in the form of a joint resolution, adds t h e words "as provided by law" to Section 6, Ar- ticle 8 of the constitution. This section stipulates that "in- stitutions of higher education es- tablished by law having authority to grant baccalaureate degrees shall each be governed by a board of control which shall be a body corporate." Rozycki explained that t h e amendment would allow "the Leg- islature to step in and give a di- rective" t'o the boards. He said he introduced the meas- ure because he was concerned about a lack of fiscal responsibil- ity at state universities as well as boards' capitulation to students and faculty members. "Everybody seems to be running the universities except the admin- istration," Rozycki said. The resolution is now before the Senate's state actions committee, Rozycki would not predict when the measure would be reported out of committee, Meanwhile, state Rep. Jacide Vaughn III (D-Detroit) is explor- ing the possibility of proposing an amendment which would add students to governing bodies in all state-supported, colleges and uni- versities. He is holding public hearings all over the state before introducing the bill. The Michigan Daily, edited and man- aged by students at the University of Michigan. News phone: 764-0552.
