However, the department said it would grant the permit for the 40-hour "March Against Death" planned to start late Nov. 13 and end just before the mass march. The plan is for about 50,000 to march in a file of twos from Arlington Nation-:,< al Cemetery, past the White House to the Capitol ° As for the mass march plans, a spokesman said the Jus- * * * * * * * * * beats AiT to e istrn 11 Detroit; win NVixon By TAMMY JACOBS Protests knd sharp riticism characterize the campus reaction to President Nixons Monday night speech. On the Diag yesterday. 1800 crosses were pounded ito the ground by members of the Ann Arbor March Against Death Con- mittee, to represent the 1800 Mich- igan servicemen killed in Vietnam. The action also called atten- tion to the March Aagainst Death in Washington Nov. 13, and 14. At a noon Diag rally, speakers from the Ann Arbor committee urged students to participate in the protest.; The local branch of the N v Mobiliation Committee to End the War in Vietnam held three meetings last night in the Michi-, gan Union to "rebut" Nixon's speech and provide information; about the anti-war activities next week in Washington. , The criticism of the President'sr address was leveled by both stu- dent and faculty speakers. English Prof. Niclaus Mills said Nixons speech "can only be interpreted as an attempt by the, President to gain more time." 1 "There is a question as to who President Nixon's majority is," he said, adding that 57 per cent of the population support withdrawal from Vietnam by June, 1970. "The speech was a restatement of the same course of action that our government has pursued sincet Nixon took office," commented zoology Prof. Robert Beyer. "We had every right to expectt that this speech would be a mile- stone," he said. "What did Nixonr say that's meaningful to us as American citizens and to others in the world who look to us for lead- ership?"r Beyer also urged students "tor raise your voices in a strong and continuous protest."' New Mobe member Marty Hal- porn added that "our responsibili- ty has to be to bring as much pressure to bear as possible." At a third New Mobe meeting, geography Prof. Rhoads Murphey said, "Nixon's mouthing again a series of moralist assumptions that have been this country's line since John Foster Dulles." The President's speech also drew criticism from national leaders of the antiwar movement. Sam B r o w n, Moratorium Committee co-ordinator told a news confer- ence, "We are convinced that the President has misjudged the mood of this country, just as he has misjudged the realities of Viet- nam. If the United States fails to ad- mit its mistakes and pull out its troops, the only alternative, Brown asserted, "is to pile death upon death in a vain pursuit of face saving and false pride." .. tice Department is concerned that violence could cause per- sonal property damage to the demonstration participants or to the residents of t h e na- tion's capital. The statement came after the' New Mobilization Committee, the' group planning the massive pro-; test here, chargedthat negotia- tionzs with Justice Department of- ' ficials had broken down. The committee said the depart-' ment had refused to grant per- mits for the march up Pennsyl-1 vania Avenue to t h e White House. The Justice Department spokes- man said the department offered the use of the Mall - where the Capitol and other government' buildings are located - and the' use of Pennsylvania Avenue for the small parade., The New Mobilization Commit- tee plans a mass rally there after the march past the White House as a wind-up to the three days' activities. The department said it has of-: fered to arrange for parking, health and medical facilities "and other necessities which the par- ticipants may require." According to a statement released by the de- partment, the march was curtail- ed because: "It is the considered opainion of the department that, should any serious violence erupt, coordination and effective law en- for'cement w;ould be impossible, if, a large rn a s s of demonstrators were to be scattered along t h e Pennsylvania Avenue route with the possibility of violence flowing in to the downtown business and residential area." The spokesman for the depart- ment said it remains willing to ne- gotiate with the New Mobiliza- tion Committee but "the commit-c tee apparently is not interested with continuing negotiations.", Ron Young, project director of the planned protests, s a i d the committee is committed to a peaceful march. "We are concern- ed that this delaying tactic makesf it much more difficult for us tol do all the necessary planning andf coordinating for the event" He said the Justice Departmentt is trying to undercut the "sym-c bolic substance" of the march. re-e1lectiRron 1 Detroit, Ceveland By The Associated Press Record turnouts of voters yesterday elected Wayne County Sheriff Roman Gribbs mayor of Detroit and returned incum- bent Mayors John V.

In a related development, SG decided Sunday to remove fro the ballot a referendum aski for a 15 cent increase in fees a located to SGC each semest from student tuition payments. Some Council members believ the lack of publicity the refe' e dum has received might contribu to its defeat. Roger Keats said believed the referendum unnee sary as he was unsure wvhere t money w ould be used. Therewas alsos so ipe dicussi an eliminating another referee dum asking whether studen should have "the authority to d termine when student feest sh be added to tuition for constru tion of University facilities.'' Although Council decided keep this on the ballot, some mei bers believed the pllrasing t vague to give students any great specific authority. Others doubt the referendum would pass. SGC members hope next wee elections will be freed from t errors and ballot ambiguities wx'hi u'louded last spring's vote. T problems stemmed in pait. frc mnistakes in the vote count m: procedures and alleged lartialiti of the m mbers of the Credenti and Rules Committee. In this vain, SGS recently pass- u- ed a new election code which for- an bids members of C & R - which i- determines the election winners- le from making public statements for candidates or referendums. In ad- dition, the number of persons on nC the committee was increased from' in to two to seven persons to insure rza more broadly-based decision. er The code limits the period for a candidate's withdrawal to up to four days after the filing dead-' line. Last spring president and executive presidential candidates! Howard Miller and Mark Rosen- baum withdrew from the election after the first vote, charging the election was not being run prop- erly . In addition, a computer will be used to count the votes next week' instead of the card sorter used: last year. Five of the candidates are in- cumnbents: Philip Anderson, '72 for election Med. Mike Far'rell. '70, Bob Nelson,' '71, Marty Scott, '72, and Al War- rington, '70Ed. The remaining 11 candidates are' seeking a first term on SGC. They' are David Brand.

John J. Marchi, the Republican - Conservative candidate, had 386,513 votes. In Cleveland, with 99 per cent of, the vote c a u n t e d, Democrat Stokes, the first black mayor of a major American city, held 117,952 votes to 116,315 for Ralph J. Perk, the Republican challenger.' Most of the unreported votes were' from areas which solidly support Stokes. In Detroit, Austin conceded de- feau about five hours after the polls closed in the nonpartisan election. Although he spumrned the label of "law-and-oider" candidate, the, ; sheriff maintained throughout the campaign that crime in the streets vas the No. 1 issue. Gribbs said he was for "or'der and justice un- der the law." Austin said crime was a major issue, but insisted; that it was part of the total pic- ture: He said the general health of the city was the top issue. Both Austin and Gribbs were rated "outstanding" by the city's major civic organizations and newspapers, although the morning, Free Press endorsed Austin and' tht Evening News, Gribbs. When they emerged from the' city's September primary, Austin and Gribbs pledged to wage high-. level campaigns and agreed race should not be an issue. Austin said in a campaign-clos- ing television appearance he did not think either side had made race an issue, although he said! earlier that the question was in- volved in the contest. So?-e surveys, however, showed a substantial number of white votrs opposed Austin simply be- cause he is black, while others in- dicated many blacks supported Austin for just the same reason. About 40 per cent of Detroit's population is black, but an es- timated 70 per cent of its voters; are white. A post-primary regis- tration drive added 5,000 names, to poll lists, most of them from the predominately black inner city. Austin hammered on a theme he was "the better qualified." Gribbs said "I'm for action" and that' crime was the No. 1 issue.

In Virginia, Linwood Holton, a 46 year-old attorney defeated Democrat William C. Battle, end- ing 83 years of Democratic r u I e in the state. In New Jersey, Representative William T. Cahill defeated former Gov. Robert B. Meyner, ending 16 years of Democratic rule. With 60 per cent of the New Jersey vote counted, Cahill held 855,881 votes to Meyner's 571,599. Reports from about half of Vir- ginia's precincts showed Holton with 259,188 votes and B a t tl e with 224,428. The Republican victories repre- sented a major victory for Nixon, who spent some time stumping for the two candidates during the closing days of the campaign. Holton's victory in Virginia was attributed to several factors, in- cluding wounds incurred by Battle in two rough primary fights, de- fections by more conservative Democrats, and the influence of Nixon.
