J A New Film by Jean-Luc Godard AN OFFER BY THE SOUTH VIETNAM GOVERNMENT yesterday to return 343 sick and wounded prisoners to North Vietnam was called "a farce" by the North Vietnamese. The proposal, advanced at the Paris Peace Talks, was also termed a ploy to steer attention away from the U.S. attempt to bring the war to all of Indochina by the North Vietnamese. Saigon had hoped that the gesture would be met with reciprocity but the North Vietnamese called the prisoners "illegally arrested patriots," and continued to blast U.S. presence in South East Asia. A BILL which would allow private citizens and conservation groups to sue public or private agencies for contributing to pol- lution was sent yesterday to the floor of the state House of Representatives. The controversial bill, vehemently opposed by the state's major industries and the state Chamber of Commerce, was approved by the House Conservation Committee, and endorsed by the Milliken administration. The bill allows a court to grant temporary or permanent injunc- tions against agencies' policies if they are determined to be causes of "pollution, impairment or destruction" of the state's natural resources. The bill's current wording differs from the original bill proposed by University law Prof. Joseph Sax in requiring the plaintiff, not the defendant, to prove his case. * * * THE FOUR NATIONS that defeated Nazi Germany opened a new round of talks on the status of Berlin yesterday. The British, U.S., and French ambassadors to West Germany, and the Soviet envoy to East Germany met for three hours in West Berlin, and agreed to meet again April 28. A communique issued after the meeting did not disclose the site of future meetings, but it was understood that the dialogue would continue in the old Allied Control Council building, in West Berlin. NORTH VIETNAM AND THE VIET CONG closed their embassies in Cambodia yesterday. The closings came as Laotian and Cambodian officials expressed fear that Hanoi may be expanding the Vietnam war throughout the Indochinese peninsula. Prince Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia's deposed chief of state added to these fears, saying in Peking that he and Cambodians would Join as a united front with the Laotians aqd Vietnamese to fight "U.S. imperialists and their lackeys." The Laotian Premier, Prince Souvanna Phouma, charged that the current North Vietnamese offensive was prompted by a "desire for hegemony by North Vietnam." Air traffic slow as strikes, snow holld down planes WASHINGTON (A)-- Getting from one place to another by air was slow, but possible, 'for most Easter weekend trav- elers yesterday - even though some key air traffic control- lers elected to stay home. There were not as many absentees in the flight control centers on the second day of the controllers' demonstration as there were the day before and there was an accompanying reduction in cancellations and flight delays. The controllers, members of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Association (PATCO) say they are overworked, undermanned, underpaid and lack modern equipment. The immediate dispute concerns transfers of three men from Baton Rouge, La. --Daily-Thomas R.

Free Press may file Ibrutality Comnplaint By PAT MEARS Detroit Free Press photographer Ken Hamblin says his newspaper "is willing to file, a formal com- plaint or initiate legal action" against the Ann Arbor police to protest a city policeman's striking Hamblin to the ground during the Black Action Movement (BAM) demonstration last week. At least four people claim they saw the policeman strike Hamblin. Hamblin says action will begin w h e n he receives "evidence on BACK TO COMMITTEE Senate maps Carswell strategy, 'Ia When in Southern California visit UnivehsalStudios "HAS THAT YOUTHFUL ACCENT WHICH PLACES IT IN A LEAGUE WITH ZEFFIRELU'S 'ROMEO AND JULIET.' -John Mahoney, FM and Fine Arts Magazine "An instant classic. It has a hammer-lock on history, performance, pathos and rooting interest!" --.Mcher Winsten, N.Y. Post :Epic battle of the sexes." -Vincent Canby, N.Y.Times WASHINGTON (P) - Defec- tions by two young Western Re- publicans and a surprise com- mitment from a veteran South- ern Democrat yesterday buoyed hopes of senators seeking to block confirmation of 0. Har- rold Carswell as a Supreme Court justice. Sen. Mark O. Hatfield of Ore- gon announaced he will support an effort to recommit the nom- ination to the Senate Judiciary Committee and at the s a m e time called on President Nixon to withdraw the disputed ap- pointment. Hatfield moved shortly after his freshman colleague from Oregon, Sen. Robert W. Pack- wood, disclosed in a statement that he is prepared to v o t e against confirmation of the 50- year-old federal appeals court judge from Tallahassee, Fla. The Oregon senators disclos- ed their stands a few hours af- ter Sen. J. W. Fulbright of Ar- kansas broke the thus-far solid Southern support for Carswell and told the Senate he will vote for recommital - a move aimed at killing the nomination. The t h r e e announcements raised to 32 the number of sen- ators who oppose Carswell's nomination. Forty senators have announced support f o r Cars- well. The key vote will come Ap- ril 6 when a move will be made to send the Tallahassee, Fla., judge's nomination back to the Judiciary Committee. If t h a t motion fails, t h e Senate will vote April 8 on the confirma- tion itself. Opponents engineered t h e move to try to send the nom- ination back to committee Wed- nesday after supporters failed in their effort for a quick vote on Carswell's nomination. Only a few weeks ago, the opposition felt Carswell's ap- proval was a virtual shoo-in. However, the list of negative votes steadily grew in past weeks as anti-Carswell forces chipped away at what t h e y called the judge's lackluster record. But while these developments boosted the growing hopes of the anti-Carswell forces, their jubilation was somewhat curb- ed by Sen. George D. Aiken's (R-Vt) decision not to vote for recommita. The dean of the Senate GOP bloc and its m o s t prominent fence-sitter in recent days said he generally is opposed to re- commitals and tabling motions and continues to be so in this matter. That's ducking the issue," the Vermont senator told an in- terviewer. Aiken said, however, he re-' mains undecided about whether to vote for confirmation. which officer did the clubbing." The incident took place in front of the Administration Bldg. March 19. Hamblin says he was in :the vi- cinity of t h e Administration Building and the Union driveway taking pictures when a large num- ber of protesters surrounded a po- lice squad car and "about four police officers" who had a black student, Veronica Banks, in cus- tody. She had ,been picked up for al- legedly throwing a brick through a plate glass window. Initially, the confrontation be- tween the protesters and the po- lice "was mainly a verbal thing," Hamblin asserts. However, after some time had passed, Hamblin says more police came from the AdministrationB u i l d in g and started directing people, away from the surrounded squad car and officers. "It was then that t h e police began to 'solo'," he claims. "They broke ranks and started clubbing after they had met some resistance." "I then circled around to get a better camera angle and suddenly I felt a dull thud on the side of my head and I went down on one knee," Hamblin says. Although he says he didn't see the policeman in the act of clubbing him, Ham- blin says he saw an officer stand- ing over him when he got up. "I managed to get a picture of him but I'm not sure that that was the same officer who clubbed me," Hamblin explains. Hamblin Claims that his press credentials were in full view. "When things got hot and heavy, I pulled them out of my pocket and put them between my teeth. Its easy to yell 'press' that way," he says. One major factor in disruptions of service yesterday was a snow- storm that dumped a foot of snow on runways of Chicago's two air- ports. At least 700 flights can- celed at Chicago and this had as much effect on the total system as the absenteeism, which w a s worse in New Y o r k, Cleveland, Minneapolis and Oakland, Calif. There was sharp disagreement between the Federal Aviation Ad- ministration and the government over effectiveness of the strike. John H. Shaffer, administrator of the FAA, and F. Lee Bailey, at- torney and executive director of PATCO, held back-to-back news conferences. Shaffer said 17 per cent of the controllers reported sick Wednes- day and 14 per cent yesterday and that not a single air traffic fa- cility was closed. "I think you can see from these figures t h a t those people who have tried to shut- down the sys- tem have fallen flat on their col- lective faces,"he said. "Traffic is moving - with some delays in some parts of the country to be sure - but it is moving." Bailey displayed a map showing what PATCO classes as danger zones because of inadequate staf- fing. The zones embraced virtual- ly all major air traffic lanes and all 21 air route traffic control centers which are responsible for spacing planes safely. He said the map meant that flying was hazardous in the prin- cipal traffic zones of the United States. At South Bend, Ind., he said, two airliners narrowly miss- ed collision because of inadequate control. PATCO has long contended that its ,members were overfatigued. Bailey. told newsmen he had in- structed chapters everywhere to obey the federal court injunction issued Wednesday against a strike, but he said the government can- not require controllers to work if they are fatigued. Shaffer added that after the absenteeism is over, the FAA won't talk with PATCO alone, be- cause there are other unions that represent the controllers.

Talks g r on in mal settlement WASHINGTON (/P) - T h e chief negotiators on pay increases and other benefits for the nation's workers left the bargaining ses- sions yesterday to consult separ- ately with higher authorities. Spokesmen declined to charact- erize the action as indicating ei- ther progress or deadlock, but there had been forecasts earlier that agreement could be reached quickly. Postmaster Gen. Winton M. Blount went from the conference room to "consult with other offic- ials of the administration," a spokesman said. He did not rule out the possibility 'that Blount would call at the White House. The chief negotiator for the postal unions, James C. Gildea, left to report to George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO, and Asst. Secretary of Labor W. J. Us- ery went to confer with Secretary of Labor George P. Shultz. Other officials of the Post Of- fice Department and the postal union heads remained in session to discuss what spokesmen described as "technical problems." Most of the troops which Presi- dent Nixon had called in Monday to help handle the mail-were start- ed homeward and the Post Of- fice Department declared the sit- uation normal. There were s o m e workers absent, as there always are, officials said, but they were not on strike. Senate and House conferees working on a new postal pay bill agreed meanwhile to take no ac- tion until negotiations between Blount and representatives of the postal unions produce a settle- ment or break down. "Any action we might take could only warp or louse up the bar- gaining downtown," said Rep. Gale W. McGee (D-Wyo.), Chair- man of the Senate Post-Office Committee and head of the Sen- ate conferees. "That is the only reason for the delay." The Pentagon announced that the 2,700 regular military troops and 15,000 of the 25,000 National Guardsmen and reservists assign- ed to help handle the mail are being relieved of that duty.
