I State legislators prepare for abortion law reform struggle to implement the laws we already have, starting with city hall. She then asked Cowley what was be- ing done regarding complaints of discrimination against the city.' Cowley replied that "the six cases of alleged discrimination in. city hall have been presented to the city administrator." When later asked as to the dis- pensation of these cases, Cowley said, "Two of the cases were set- tled immediately when the ad- ministrator hired the two people." However, he continued, "One per- son still doesn't have a job." Cowley did not comment on the status of the other three cases. The Community Committee for Child Day Care and Development also presented a detailed report to HRC on the structure and pur-] poses of the Day Care Center they hope to have functional by early July. Because HRC has already made $40,000 available to the Day Care Center, the discussion cen- tered on concerns with the spe- cific organization of the center. Evelyn Moore, a commissioner. made clear that "the center is a, new concept of self determina- tion." She continued, "Most of the planning must be done by the mothers themselves." Mrs. Grubbs, who said she wanted to make sure the original purpose of the. center was not lost, said, "It is a program to en- able the children's mothers to go into training programs and get off relief." Richard Cutler, Special Assis- tant for Urban Affairs, said the University would provide bus transportation for the center. He also mentioned the University might provide other services in the future. . Steering committee members were upset because there has been no police action against Mrs. Ike Kozminski, wife of a landlord, who allegedly struck rent striker Jim Brugh in front of a police lieutenant and an assistant city attorney. I Brugh and other tenants were picketing Kozminski's barbershop Tuesday to protest alleged diffi- culties they had had with him. \David Goldstein, steering com- mittee member, explained, "It is a political question why they bust- ed Janet and not Mrs. Kozmin- ski." City Attorney Peter Forsythe said last night that he had no information on Miss Handy's ar- rest, which occurred late yester- day afternoon. He added that as- sault complaints are being in- vestigated against Mrs. Kozmin-, ski and against Louis Feigelson, a landlord's agent also charged with assault in an incident that occur- red Tuesday inthe rent strike of- fice in the Student Activities Bldg. Miss Handy was also involved in that incident. Steering commit- tee members present claimed Fei- gelson attacked them, while he countered that they were the as- sailants. Goldstein said yesterday that Major Robert Harris told him the city would investigate all t h e complaints on the basis of the facts without considering their connection to the' rent strike. If the city attorney feels the elements of a crime exist and can be proven to a jury, then he will prosecute the case, Harris t o I d Goldstein. Miss Handy was, arrested in front of the Ann Arbor Bank on East Liberty. She had been there for about 45 minutes, she said, when sa person came out of the bank and asked for a leaflet. . Twenty minutes later, she said, a police officer came and asked her if she had a permit to solicit funds. After finding she did not have a permit, he arrested her. It was the third day that the steering committee has been con- ducting the bucket drive. No other incidents have occurred. The steering committee's state- ment said: f "The police have refused to prosecute landlords (Ike Koz- minski and Louis Feigelson) who have violated the rights of tenants by assaulting them and by turning off utilities and threatening to throw tenants into the street. This is in spite of the fact that they have actually seen the landlords perform these acts. "The police have, on the other hand, readily harrassed the Ten- See STRIKER, Page 5 Bias ease testimony completed By TOBE LEV The State Civil Rights Commis- sion heard final testimony yester- day on a charge of discrimination against the University M e d I c a'1 Center by Mrs. LaVerne Hill, Mrs. Hill claims that when she requested withdrawal of her re- signation as assistant operating room supervisor at the Medical Center in June, 1965, she was re- fused and instead offered an in- ferior position at the hospital be- cause she is black. Louis Rosenzweit, referee ap- pointed by the commisison, will either' recommend dismissal of the case for lack of evidence or rein- statement of Mrs. Hill at her old position. He set no date for his decision. James McClung, who originally investigated the case for the com- mission, was the last witness for the hospital. His investigation did not find evidence of discrimina- tion. McClung testified that Miss Muriel Horton, Mrs. Hill's super- visor, and Dr. Roger B. Nelson, senior 'associate director at the hospital, commented there was a "communication problem" be- tween Mrs. Hill and Miss Horton. Dr. Nelson and Miss Horton at- tributed this problem to M r s. Hill. According to McClung, Miss Horton said Mrs. Hill often wrote her notes when she , could ,have spoken to her in person. But, ac- cording to McClung, Miss Horton described Mrs. Hill as a capable worker. Rosenzweit must submit his re- commendations to a special board from the commission for endorse- ment. If the University does not com- ply with the commission's request the commission can obtain a bind- ing court order. Rosenzweit will consider the testimony of witnesses at the hearing and the final briefs sub- mitted by both attorneys before making his recommendations. LANSING (P) - Senate leadersI speculated yesterday that t h e emotion-charged issue of abortion law reform would win approval in the upper chamber. "I believe that some proposal has an extremely good chance to pass," said Senate Majority Lead- er Emil Lockwood, (R-St. Louis), who has pledged his support for a bill authorizing abortions under limited circumstances. Minority Leader Sander Levin, D-Berkley, said, "There's a -better than 50-50 chance" the Senate will pass a measure reforming the state law that now allows term- ination of pregnancy only when 1 l li 1 a t 3 f the life of the mother is in dang- i where to send any proposal that er. may pass the Senate.

Jack Eisner,.SEI president, said the pri- mary function of the office will be to pro- vide outlines describing courses within the school and certification and degree in- formation to assist the student in course selection. The office, which is scheduled to open July 1 on the second floor of the educa- tion school, will also provide information, concerning scholarships, financial aid op- portunities, and study abroad. The office will provide a place for in- formal discussions between students. Two undergraduates, two graduates, and one faculty member. The coordinators will be ex-officio members. SEI will give an evaluation report of the office to Dean-designate Wilbur Co- hen at the end of 1969 and again in Feb- ruary, 1970. Eisner says the ad hoc committee which formulated the counseling office proposal was formed because the faculty counseling system within the school was wasting too much time of "course-juggling and red tape" for both students and faculty coun- selors, instead of providing meaningful academic counseling, He also hopes the office will be able to expand to include a system of course eval. uation. The only existing course evalua- on a proposal that would remove criminal penalties against licens- ed doctors who perform abor- tions in licensed and accredited hospitals. The successful move to take the McCauley bill from the table and put it in line for discussion fol- lowed two previous attempts that failed. Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) sponsor of the more limit- ed reform proposal, succeeded Tuesday; in winning Senate votes to take his bill from the table. The vote was 21-9. Bursley's bill - which leaders believe has the best chance of passage-would allow abortions when the mental or physical health of the mother was en- dangered, when there was "sig- nificant risk" that the baby would be seriously deformed and in cases of rape or incest.
