The craze for Middle-earth and its Hobbit inhabitants has infected the American fancy with all the violence of an epidemic. Controversy rages over the value of these fantasies in contemporary literature. What kind: of mind breeds Hobbits? Here is a distinguished scholar's per- -sonal appraisal of Tolkien and his work. It is not only a pain- less initiation into the cult but an invaluable casebook for fans and critics of Middle-earth lore. heTnRelation a personal inquiry by William Ready $3.95 at your bookstore THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three . _ ,. _v . . Police prefer Mace to bullets 'Poor people' NEW YORK (P--Most U.S, polce departments which have experimented with chemical Mace for subduing aggressive citizens intend to continue its use despite reservations voiced by some medical men. In general, the police feel that a squirt of Mace in the face is much more humane than a brisk rap on the skull with a night club, or maybe a bul- let in the leg., This finding emerged from a nationwide survey released yes- terday in the wake of a warning by U.S. Surgeon General Wil- liam H. Stewart that the chem- ical might have "more than transient effects" on human eyes unless there is prompt first aid. The primary chemical ele- ment in Mace, which is made by the General Ordinance Equipment Corp., of Pittsburgh, is phenylchormomethylketone, the main constituent of tear tas. In Ann Arbor, Police Chief Walter Krasny ordered a Mace cease-fire until University sci- entists complete a series of tests on the substance. The tests were arranged because of protests by civil rights groups against the use of Mace to calm an unruly crowd at the scene of an auto accident last month. David Craig, Pittsburgh's public safety director, volun- teered to be squirted in the face after protests erupted against police use of Mace to quell a high school uprising last No- vember. "It was like instant sunburn in the way it irritated the skin," Craig reported. "There was an immediate watering of the eyes and a general loss of aggres- siveness. "Our police will continue us- ing Mace. The main point, as the surgeon general's report now confirms, is that this chemical weapon is infinitely safer and more human than the firearm or the club," Craig said. gain camp site' Marchers get 15 acre plot, to live ini Waslim oton park By The Associ tted Press Demonstrators in the Poor People's Campaign will be permitted to construct a temporary camp on 15 acres of federal property located between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memor- ial, south of the Reflecting Pool, it was announced yesterday.

Local governments, businesses put restrictions on sale of guns NEW YORK (IP)-Many state and local governments and major department stores are clamping down on gun sales in the after- math of recent civil disorders. Most active in restricting sales and possession of firearms, par- ticularly pistols, have been states in which riots occurred, a spot check around the country showed yesterday. Sears'Roebuck and Montgomery Ward-two major mail order houses-have quit filling mail and phone orders for guns. Some ma- jor departments stores have dis- continued gun sales entirely. Early this year Chicago en- acted laws which require gun owners to register them and which extends the fan on carrying con- cealed handguns to include rifles and shotguns. Effective July 1 the State of Illinois will require all persons posessing firearms or ammunition to have a license. California en- acted a gun control law banning loaded firearms 'in public areas except 'for police and permit hold- ers.

Montgomery Ward announced it will not mail directly to cus- tomers firearms, pelle, and B1 guns an ammuntion. Customers who order guns by mail or tele- phone will be required to pick up' their orders personally and show proof that they are over 21 years old. The company said the restric- tion was adopted to "help en- force the registration and delivery provisions of new and changing state and local ordinances without interfering with the sale of guns and ammunition to ranchers, farmers, hunters and other legi- timate customers." Sears, Roebuck said it was im- posing the same restrictions "be- cause of the climate in which we are living and the great prolifera- tion of state and local laws." In New York City, Macy's, Al- exander's and Abraham & Straus department stores have discon- tinued gun sales in the past year.

The demonstrator. who had been picketing the New England segment of the march since it started last Wednesday at Bruna wick, Maine, was stabbed a block from where buses of the marchers were being boarded. Joseph Mlot-Mroz, who carried anti-Communist signs, was stabbed when his car window was broken. The 43-year old self-styled Polish freedom fighter is from Salem, Maine, and is well known in New England for participating in dem- onstrations of all kinds. He was placed on the danger list at City Hospital. The Southern segment of the march headed for Macon, Ga. from Atlanta. It was to pass through the Social Circle com- munity, which experienced school integration disturbances last year. Hosea L. Williams, in charge of the Southern leg of the journey, spoke of improvements in or- ganization.,T "We are better organize in leaving Atlanta than we ever have been7," he said. nd he stressed nonviolence. "We are going to have two non- violent workshops each day," he declared. cSw' 2v?^ :i i"x :' b. :zwr i 2:vsa ',22 :r; . OLIVER!

Univesify eformd Curh 1001 East Huron Publisher' criticizes 'Wilson i LONDON UP)-Prime Minister ,Harold Wilson faced a battle for his political life last night after a once friendly newspaper tycoon fgrecast Britain's greatest finan- cial crisis and charged the Labor government with lying. The accusation by Cecil King capped a political nightmare for Wilson's followers in countrywide local elections and helped send the pound sterling plummeting in world money markets. King, 67. owns a publishing em- pire. that includes the mass cir- culation Daily and Sunday Mir- ror. He supported Wilson and the Labor party in the last two gen- eral elections. His demand for Wilson's ouster on charges of incompetence and failure to grapple with Britain's economic woes possess a special Iauthority. King was a director of the Bank of England, which manages the nation's day-to-day accounts. This would entitle him to an inside look at the state of Britain's re- serves. He resigned the directorate after issuing his blast. Ministers and lawmakers never- theless rallied to Wilson's defense with one colleague, Edward Short, insisting the prime minister would yet lead Labor to another electoral triumph in 1971. There was little doubt Wilson's leadership has weakened. The local elections produced a pro-Conser- vative swing that decimated the number of Labor controlled town halls to a handful up and down the land. In Thursday's voting the Con- servatives had a total of 1,320 gains and 13 losses-against 1,307 Labor losses and 13 gains. The third main party, the Liberals had 59 losses; 39 gains., The Labor reverses had been ex- pected. Wilson has repeatedly warned' his followers to brace for a phase of unpopularity while his government's tough recovery pro- gram is under way.
