Job growth slowed in May while uhemployment held steady at a low level, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics said. May's total employment was up 200,000 from April, but this is, much less than the usual April-May rise. "We are seeing a continuation of an easing off of employment growth," Howard Stambler, chief employment analyst said. He added that this probably reflected an easing of the economy in line with Nixon administration efforts to cool inflation. RUMANIAN COMMUNIST PARTY LEADER Nicolae Ceau- sescu yesterday condemned criticism of absentee Communist China at the Moscow-oriented international Communist con- ference. Ceausescu warned that such attacks threaten the success of the conference, attended by delegations from ,75 Communist parties and billed as a "unity" meeting. But he rejected the idea of walking out on the conference fol- lowing hard criticism of Communist China by a number of delegates, particularly Leonid I. Brezhnev. "The leadership of our party decided.that we would continue to participate in the conference in order to express our position on the questions which have been touched upon," Ceausescu said. He told the delegates the danger from imperialism should not be exaggerated. He also said the drive for Communist unity should not be a device for interfering in the domestic affairs of other Com- munist )countries. * * * * THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE on small business opens hearings on the Small Business Administration (SBA) today. A report on the SBA was released yesterday. The report, commissioned by Republican members of the Senate committee, is said to level sharp criticism at Republican appointed ad- ministrator Hilary J. Sandoval Jr. The loan-granting agency is suf- fering from a "management gap," according to the report. The agency has been in the news recently on two fronts-first, because of loans granted under , previous Democratic administrators to firms controlled by a Mafia loan shark, and more recently, because of the indictment of one of Sandoval's top aides.} Court bars garnishment of wages without--hearing - -<+- WASHINGTON (R) - The >' 5: -. ... ,. .... w ...

Supreme Court ruled 7 to 1 yesterday that workers have a right to a hearing before their wages can be withheldto sat- isfy finance companies. The decision turns a new legal corner in the closing days of the Warren court. It expands the Constitution's protection of pro- perty- rights to wage earners fac- ing garnishments at the hands of creditors. With the term in its last month, the court announced several other major decisions. Among them was a 5-3 ruling rejecting a black's claim that he had the right to reject an induc- tion order issued by an all-white draft board. Also, an 8-0 ruling stipulated that a man cannot be punished for what he says unless his words are designed to incite lawlessness. The garnishment ruling pro- bably will have the widest effect, however. It will invalidate laws in 17 states and void a quarter- million wage garnishments actions now pending, said Jack Green- berg,'director of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Under the Wisconsin law di- rectly struck down, li a credi- tor had to do to freeze part of a debtor's wages was to have a court clerk issue a summons. If the worker sued later he had a chance to win back what was tak- en from him. "But in the interim," Justice William O. Douglas said, "the wage earner is deprived of 'his enjoyment of earned wages with- out any opportunity to be heard and to tender any defense he may have, whether it be fraud' or oth- erwise." The court also rejected claims that blacks have a right to refuse induction orders Issued by all- white, or Virtually all-white, draft boards. The issue had been raised by Cleveland L. Sellers Jr, 24, a former program director for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, who claimed :draft boards in South Carolina and Georgia were powerless to induct him. The majority made no comment in deciding not t hear the case, but Justice William 0. Douglas, joined by Chief Justice Earl War- ren and Justice Thurgood M a r - shall, declared the issue was one which the court should consider. In his' dissent, Douglas n o t e d that Sellers is from South Caro- line and refused induction in At- lanta in 1967. "According to his uncontested allegations," Douglas said, "South Carolina is a state with 161 board members, only one of whom is a Negro." The free speech ruling cut down Ohio's criminal syndicalism law. r Get it together at- THE ALTERNATIVE WHAT YOU WANT WE GOT FROM LIVE ENTERTAINMENT TO FOOD FOR THE SOUL.

NEW HIGH: an main.lan rate to 8.5 per L ;m I AUDITIONS for Gilbert &- Sullivan Society's Summer Musical "PAINT YOUR WAGON" (Lerner and Loewe) Today and Thursday, June 12 7:30-11:30-2528 Frieze Building By The Associated Press The cost of borrowing money soared to a new high yesterday when major banks across the country increased their prime lending rate to 8 12 per cent. 'An increase from the previous 7?2 per cent high had been ex- pected by some in the banking community, but the size of the in- crease surprised many. The immediate effect of the in- crease in the prime rate-the in- terest banks charge theirbiggest and best customers-will be to make it more costly for large cor- porations to borrow. Other rates, such as interest STATE CAPITOL PROTEST Picketers ask abortion reform see without glasses rates, to consumers, small busi- nessmen and farmers are scaled upward from the prime rate. Some banks pledged in an- nouncements yesterday that the boost would not be passed on to, smaller borrowers. Rep. Wright Patnian (D-Tex) chairman of the House Banking Committee, an opponent of the hike, called for antitrust action against the banks. "This increase. coupled with other high interest rates will create chaos throughout the econ- omy," he said., He urged Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell to invoke antitrust laws "to prevent big banks from joining in a conspiracy for a general in- crease in the prime lending rates." The increase "isvery likely the straw that will break the camel's back. There is, a limit, beyond which the economy cannot go and we have apparently reached that tragic point . . ." he said. In spite of statements by some banks that the increase would not affect mortgage loans, Rep. James A.. Burke (D-Mass) said the in- crease would disrupt the housing market. "It's now impossible for a family earning less than $12,000 a year, to buy a home," he said. The round of increases yester- day began with Bankers Trust Co. in New York, and other banks across the nation followed suit. The jump in bank interest rates further clouded the outlook for ex- tension of the income tax sur- charge as the House Ways and Means Committee, began discus- sing the issue yesterday. Secretary of the Treasury David M. Kennedy, meeting with the committee in closed session, argued 'U' professor to head communcations,,unit cent the increase in the prime de; strates urgent need for fig inflation by continuing the 11 cent extra tax. But Rep. Hale Boggs (D who presided over the session, newsmen some members are E ing the other way: "You've gc interest increase already - vote for the surtax?" "Raising the prime interest might be a serious blow to the tax," anothercommittee mei Rep. Burke, said in a separat terview. 3 Nearly 25 women-most of them students-from the Ann Arbor area picketed on the steps of the state capitol yesterday to demand elimination of all crim- inal penalties for abortion. The StateLegislature is cur- rently considering action on proposals to liberalize the state's more than 100-year old abortion statutes, which allow termina- tion of pregnancy only when the life of the mother is in danger. Thead hoc group from Ann Arbor passed out two handouts. One repeated a statement which group members said has been signed by thousands of women in the state. The petition reads, "We, the undersigned, believing that every woman has the right to control her own body and therefore has the right to an abortion on de- mand, petition the legislature of the State of Michigan to repeal all criminal abortion laws." The second handout is a'fact sheet on, abortion which urges legislators fo vote yes on the liberalization proposals. The proposals face a battle in both houses. The Senate is ex- pected to pass some form of liberalization, but chances of favorable action appear dimmer in the House, where Speaker William R y a n (D-Detroit), a Catholic, opposes all abortion law reform. Two bills are currently under consideration. One, sponsored by Sen. John McCauley (D- Wyandotte), would'remove crim- inal penalties for abortions per- formed by licensed doctors in accredited hospitals. The other, sponsored by Sen. Gilbert Bursley, (R-Ann Arbor) which leaders believe has the best chance of passage, would allow abortions when the mental or physical health of-the mother was endangered, when there was "significant risk" that the baby would be born seriously de- formed, or in cases of rape or incest. The operation would be per- formed only after consultation with three doctors, one a psy- chiatrist, where the mental health of the mother was in- > volved. t i p b ti SS ,T N n a t Cl 0 to ti fa a rt n n to i} By SHARON WEINER Prof. Harold Jacobson of the political science department has been named chairman of a na- tional tasks force on international satellite communications. , The panel, established by the Twentieth Century Fund, a private Nlew York foundation, will make recommendations on control, man- agement, and uses of orbital transmission stations. The panel is composed of seven experts in econ- omics, law, public policy, and technology of satellite communica- tions. In establishing this panel, the fund noted than an international agreement would soon have to be reached governing satellite com- munication. The International Telecommu- nications Satellite consortium (In- terslat), now operating the only international communications sa- ellite system in existence is seek- ng agreement on a permanent, system to replace the interim ar- rangement adopted five years ago. "We hope to make recomnen- dations which will be useful for government policy making and stimulation of public debate on these issues"' said Jacobson yes- terday. Hopefully, he added, the report will have impact on both Interslat and the International Telecom- munications Union (ITU) which is due to meet soon. The panel will publish its re- port and recommendations this summer after meeting in New York during the next two months. In addition to Prof. Jacobson, the members of tle task force are Prof. Abram 'Ohayes of Harvard Law School, former State Depart- ment legal advisor; Jean D'arcy, director of radio and visual serv- ices for the United Nations; Prof. Donald Dunn of Stanford Univer- sity, an expert on longhaul com- munications; Leland Johnson of the RAND Corp., a former re- search analyst of the federal task force on communications policy; Lionel Kestenbaus, a Washington lawyer, and Prof. Edward Mc- inneydirector of the McGill University Space Law Center. The task force is one of several problem-solving groups the re- search foundation is assembling to cope with critical public issues. ART i 11 CONTACT LENSES ATTENTION STUDENTS!
