SENATE UNIT OK:
Burger wins
ast approval
WASHINGTON 0 - Warren E. Burger won swift Senate
Judiciary Committee approval yesterday to be chief justice
of the United States.
Thirteen senators agreed unanimously after the white-
haired judge assured them he does not think the Supreme
Court has the power to legislate or to amend the Constitution.
The Senate, now in recess, can complete the confirmation
process tomorrow, although Democratic Leader Mike Mans-
field of Montana said action next week is more likely.

Win slots in
NJ contest
NEWARK, N. J. () -- For-
mer Gov. Robert B. Meyner, a
Democrat, and Rep. William
T. Cahill, a Republican, won
their parties' gubernatorial
nominations yesterday in New
Jersey's primary, and will face
each other in the November,
general election.
Meyner coasted to an easy vic-
tory'over five rivals, leading his
nearest opponent by a margin of
more than 3-2. He withstood dual
. challenges from the Hudson Coun-
ty Democratic machine, the area1
between Neward and New York
City, and a new coalition of lib-
erals.
Cahill defeated Rep. Charles W.
Sandman Jr. in a tight race in a
field of five GOP candidates.
Sandman, the only unmistakable
conservative in the Republican
race, suffered an earlier disap-
pointment, losing a neck-and-neck
contest in the 1965 GOP primary.
Republican leaders were jubilant
at the outconte. "We're in better
shape now than anytime in the
past 16 years," one high ranking
official said. "This is the strong-
est candidate we could get." ..
Supporters of Meyner also ex-
pressed confidence the Democratsj
would win in November.
With about 80 per cent of the
vote counted, Cahill polled 112,-,
259 votes to 103,712 fo Sandman.
The next closest rival trailed the
two South Jersey congressmen
by well over 50,000 votes.
Eleven candidates sought the
nominations, six Democrats and!
five Republicans.
Meyner, considered by many a
conservative, particularly in fiscal
matters, was the clear Democratic
favorite. His edge was based large-
ly on widespread voter recognition
developed in his two terms as gov-
ernor from 1953 through 1961.
Rivals charged that Meyner, 60,
would not bring a fresh approach
to current problems. The former
governor said he isĀ° prepared to
tackle the problems of the 1970's,
with a new outlook.
The other Democratic candi-
dates are former State Sen. Ned
J. Parsekian; D. Louis Tonti, exe-
cutive director of the Garden State
Parkway, and John L. Hennessey,;
a tavern owner and political
novice.
The other Republican candi-
dates were State Sens. Harry L.
Sears and Fank X. McDermott
and Public Utility Commissioner
William E. Ozzard.

Tenants
By HAROLD ROSENTHAL
More than 100 faculty mem-
bers and eight community
leaders have signed a state-
ment of support for the right
of the Tenants Union to or-
ganize, rent strike spokesmen
announced yesterday. More
signatures are expected to be
obtained in the near future.
The statement is being circu-
lated in an, attempt to show com-
munity support for the Tenants
Union which faces a hearing Fri-
day on conspiracy charges by
seven landlords who are seeking
an injunction to stop the rent>
strike.
Four of the ten city councilmen
have signed the statement. They
are H. C. Curry (D-1st ward),
N i c h o 1 a s Kazarinoff (D-3rd
ward), LeRoy Cappaert (D-5th
ward) and Henry Stadler (D-5th
ward.)
In addition, the, statement has
been signed by the chairman and
the director of the Human Rela-
tions Commission, Lloyd Williams
and David Cowley, and by the
chairman of the Housing Com-
mission, Prof- Robert Weeks of
the Engineering English depart-
ment, who is a former city coun-
cilman.
Another signer is Walter Schei-
der, chairman of the Ann Arbor
Democratic Party. The Democrat -
Party also has approved a strong
endorsement of the 'rent strike
and condemned the conspiracy
suit.

ers will appear in a full page ad-

Postpone ,
play decision
The decision on whether to
bring the ten-member cast of
."Dionysus in '69" to trial was post-
poned yesterday by District Judge
Pieter Thomassen. Thomassen was
expected to decide today, but will
set a new date for announcing the
decision sometime tliis morning.
Thomassen was to decide if
there is "probable cause to believe
a crime was committed," and if
the defendants had actually com-
mitted it.
The preliminary hearing was
held on May 7. Defense attorney
Peter Darrow motioned that Tho-
massen decide the hearing by ex-
amining briefs from both the
prosecution and the defense.

August then said he felt "sick"
so he walked out of the motel and
"leaned against a tree." "The next i

he added.
During cross-examination, As-
sistant Wayne County Prosecutor
Avery Weiswasser asked August
why he didn't report the killing
until July 31, 1967, nearly a week
:later.
August replied that he had
"been afraid for myself and my
family." He said that three days
after the shootings, on July 29,:
he had signed a statement withl
fellow Detroit police officers Da-
d Seak and Robert Paille, stat-
ing that they had found the bod-
ies of Pollard, Carl Cooper and
Fred Temple already dead upon
entering the motel annex early on
the 26th._
August later rescinded t h i s

true. He testified that by July 1,

NEW INFORMATION BOOKLET
rcommi~ttee rolls its own.

By CAROL PINTEK
"The psychological effects of grass and
acid are a really personal thing," says one
student drug user. "It's something no
booklet can describe. People should en-
close samples if they want to teach what
a high feels like."
But the University has attempted to ex-
plain the turned-on experience with words
alone in a new pamphlet entitled "In-
formation about Drugs."
Put out by an ad hoc committee from the
Office of Student Affairs, the Drug Edu-
cation Committee, the booklet will be
given to all incoming freshmen\ in their
orientation kits.
Dr. Edward Bordin, chairman of the
committee, says the pamphlet is designed to
help provide an honest picture of what is
knnwn A tm, ,1,,,. "RiiintG im, m ak m,

dents are interested in much more than
LSD. What about DMT and DET? The
difference between organic and inorganic
drugs should be noted," he adds.
The section describing the psychological
and physiological effects of marijuana is
totally unclear and value-ridden, says
Schwartz. "There is not much clinically
that has been said about marijuana."
Recent studies contradict many of the
pamphlet's conclusions, Schwartz main-
tains, but the new studies are as inconclus-
ive and inadequate as the previous ones,
he admits.
Several student drug consumers' also
have found' the pamphlet inadequate and
objectionable. "The cover of the booklet
is horrible," claims one student. "Why de-
pict crawling, skeleton-like figures that
imply paranoia and death?" "Why should-
