CINEMA 11113 SATURDAY & SUNDAY, MARCH 21 & 22 dir. JEAN RENOIR (937). GRAND ILLUSION A perfect film, starring ERICH VON STROHEIM "I made this film because I am a pacifist" -Renoir 7 & 9:05 Architecture 662-8871 75c Auditorium WALTER J. HICKEL, Secretary of the Interior, plans to step up enforcement of regulations governing offshore oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico. Hickel said in an interview that he plans to ask for additional funds and will double the number of federal inspectors policing the oil field. The decision was prompted by a massive oil spill from a Chevron Oil Company platform which caught fire off Louisiana last month and then gushed oil into the gulf. Since then, authorities have found at least 147 violations of federal regulations in Chevron's operations in the area, according to Hickel. He indicated he may seek fines up to $2,000 a day for each violation, once a final report has been completed by the U.S. Geological Survey. -- -- * * * mit uii I I I L I I H Jul1 THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION yesterday or- dered an investigation of the artificial sweetener saccharin. The National Academy of Science-National Research Council will evaluate experimental evidence and present recommendations within two months on the widely-used sweetener, which was recently linked to cancer in mice. S * * THE CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT announced yesterday that it would use force oif ousted leader Prince Norodom Sihanouk tried to return to power. Meanwhile, a number of Sihanouk's supporters were placed under house arrest. Since Sihanouk was overthrown Wednesday, the country has been under virtual martial law. Cambodian constitutional rights have been suspended for six months, all meetings of more than three persons have been banned, and the government is exercising strict control over newspapers. * *~ * LIVING COSTS ROSE one-half of one per cent last month, continuing the nation's worst living cost rise in twenty years. Higher food prices, a jump in home mortgage interest rates and other price hikes in February caused the increase. President Nixon last week had partially lifted his freeze on fed- eral construction funds for state and local projects, saying his stringent economic policies had begun moving the nation towards stable prices. He added that "the rate of inflation still remains an urgent concern." THAI TROOPS have reportedly been flown to Laos to help defend the Long Cheng army base from an expected North Vietnamese attack. Sources also said that U.S. planes moved the Thai troops to Laos, but White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler declined to comment on the report. He did call the report of That involve- ment in Laos, "grossly exaggerated." At the same time, a pro-Communist Pathet Lao emissary arrived in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, with a peace plan from Hanoi. Long Cheng is about 90 miles from Vientiane, and North Viet- namese forces presently command hilltop positions about a mile from the base. -Daily-Jay Cassidy fWASHINGTON AM - -The threat of a nationwide mail stoppage was postponed yes- terday when the gpvernment agreed to discuss salary de- mands of its mailmen if they end their illegal, localized strikes immediately. Postal union leaders said they would ask their workers to return to their jobs in New York City and other areas afflicted by the week's spreading postal stoppage. However, the largest of the un- ions-the Letter Carriers who be- gan the wildcat strikes Wednes- day -- added a proviso that deep- ened the urgency of the impend- ing negotiations between govern- ment and postal workers. The union leaders said if no agreement is reached in five days of talks, union president James H. Rademacher will call a nationwide strike, even though strikes by federal employes are forbidden by law. The temporary agreement was reached after a two and one-half hour meetingbetween Secretary of Labor George P. Shultz and the presidents of seven postal un- ions. Rademacher then carried the plan b a c k to a meeting of 300 branch chairmen of his National Association of Letter Carriers. The leaders 'agreed to call on their men to return to work. Shultz said the union presidents had assured him they would reaf- firm to their workers their feeling that the work stoppage was 11- legal and could not be supported by the union chiefs. In return, Shultz said, he had assured the union leaders that "as soon as the work stoppage is ended, the Post Office Depart- ment will be ready to enter dis- cussions with the unions prompt- ly." The carriers - whose picket lines in New York, Cleveland, De- troit, Philadelphia and elsewhere w e r e being respected by other postal workers - are protesting their current wage scale, which ranges from $6,176 a y e a r to start and climbs to $8,442 after 21 years. They want to make the pay range $8,500 to start and $11,- 700 after five years. III.. Students protest at Honors Convocation DR. STRANGELOVE Starring PETER SELLERS, GEORGE C.

Subscribe to The Michigan Daily By NADINE COHODAS 9 Yesterday morning's picket at a Hill Aud. probably didn't help bridge the Generation Gap. In fact, from the looks on their faces as they snaked through the, demonstrators and from their9 comments once inside Hill, it seems as though most parents were puzzled and disdainful of the ac- tivities. "I have no reaction because I don't know what they're protest- ing about," claimed one mother wrapped in her black persian lamb coat with mink collar. But she added. "I dislike seeing people do things thoughtlessly by rote - I dislike seeing people walk around like a bunch of monkeys." When the issue was briefly ex- plained to her, the woman said she was "not in favor at all of a fixed percentage of any race. Students should .be admitted on the basis of qualification not on the color of skin or whether their eyes are blue, pink, yellow or green." One man perusing the lobby apparently looking for his daugh- ter, only glowered at the entire iffair. But another man standing in the foyer said "as long as they want to walk it's all right with me if they're not interfering. I don't think they are. "I didn't expect this," he ad- mitted. "But I know about it now." "I'm not taking this too ser- iously," said another mother, dis- traught because she had been wait- ing "for my rotten daughter to show up." "So they want to pro- test, let them," the mother said. "Every age has to do something -this one is to protest. "I think it's silly," she c o n- tinued, "and I know some of the other parents don't like this shut- it-down business." She said she believes black "students have "a right to come, but so do others. I guess their freedom stops where my nose begins." At least one parent decided to confront the issue. On his way into Hill he stopped and read the "Support BAM" and "Shut it Down" posters. "Why do you want to shut it down?" he asked two protesters. "There should be some- body explaining this to the par- ents. Most of them are from out of town and don't know what the issues are. "The picketers look like a bunch' of idiots run wild to them," he added. Briefly discussing the issue with another student stationed at one of the inside doors, the man said it was not money spent for the Honors Convocation that was keeping the black programs from being funded. "It's the $20 billion dollars the government spends in Vietnam," he said. If they stopped the war,, he asserted on his way to the balcony, then money would be available for black programs. Landlord refuses to recognize iTUwithout contract revisions i ~ . -- " DIAL 5-6290 WALTER MATTHAU INGRID BERGMAN GOLDIE HAWN t TIowod 7 Today at 1:,10-3-5-7-9 P.M. By RICK PERLOFF Dennis Dahlmann, the manager and part-owner of Dahlmann Apartments, told 35 . Ann Arbor Tenants Union members yesterday that he would not recognize the union until it revises portions of a proposed tenant-landlord contract. The Tenants Union members- some of whom were Dahlmann tennants-had gathered in Dahl- mann's Church St. office following a half-hour of picketing outside. During this period, several Ten- ants Union members met with Dahlmann and discussed the con- tract with him. This is the second consecutive Friday that the tenants have con- fronted Dahlmann.. They are de- manding that he honor the peti- tions of 70 per cent of his tenants who have agreed to let the union represent them in collective bar- gaining. Dahlmann manages about 180 apartment units and is one of the ten or so "target" landlords on which the union has concentrated attention. Dahlmann'explained yesterday that he had disagreements over 25 of the approximately 100 claus- es in the proposed contract. "If the 25 are revised, we will execute the contract and I will recognize the Tenants Union at the same time," he said. "I don't think it would be right to rec- ognize the union today and then look at the document and change my mind next week. If I recognize you, I need to accept the docu- ment." Tenants Union members dis- agreed, maintaining that recog- nition was not contingent on Dahl-, mann's acceptance of the contract. They contended that in order to negotiate it was necessary for Dahlmann to recogizp the exist- ence of the body with which he would be negotiating. Later, Dahlmann tenant David Yoder, a member of the union's Representative Assembly, said that once recognition was achiev- ed, "We are willing to revise some of the clauses in the contract."' Yoder, who helped draft the con- tract, said it encompassed a reg- ular lease but "liberalizes tenant- landlord relations." The contract calls for the es- tablishment of a grievance board -composed of Dahlmann tenants, the landlord and union mem- bers--which would attempt to re- solve disputes between tenants and landlords without going to court. In addition, the contract pro- poses that the damage deposit be held in an account opened by the union. The deposit would be re- turned to the tenant within 10 days after the lease ends, unless the landlord charges the tenant with damage. The contract also states that the tenant determine the length of the lease and that leases not be less than four months. The proposed contract implies elimination of the payment of the last month's rent at the beginning of a tenant's lease. "Anything charged in advance before occupancy will be applied toward the first month's rent only and won't exceed the first month rent," Yoder explained. Dahlmann would not disclose which portions of the contract he disputed, but said he would be willing to meet with the Tenants Union to discuss them. Dahlmann tenants are meeting Monday to formulate strategies to achieve recognition. U OF M MENS 8:30 P.M.
