By JUDY SARASOHN
Ernest R. Bishop, accused
murderer of Margaret Ann
Phillips, will face first degree
murder charges before Circuit
Judge William F. Ager Jr. on
July 25.
Bishop was bound over to Cir-
cuit Court by District Judge S. J.
Elden following a preliminary ex-
amination yesterday. The exam-
ination was a judicial inquiry to
determine if a crime was com-
mitted, and if there is probable
reason to believe the defendant
committed that crime.
Major testimony came from
Clifford R. Shewcraft, an acquain-
tance of Bishop,. who first told
police he saw the murder suspect
throw a gun into the Huron River,
from U.S. 23.
Shewcraft said that Bishop had'
bought a .22 caliber gun in Lan-
sing but he did not know when
or where. However, he said, Bishop
bought bullets at K Mart Store
the morning before the murder,
while Shewcraft signed a voucher
for them.
The gun remained in Shew-
craft's car or in his possession un-
til about 11 p.m. July 4, he said.
Press Shewcraft claimed he was driving
res around Ann Arbor looking for
Bishop and found him on Wil-
liams St. near State. Bishop asked
for the gun, said Shewcraft, and
said he was going to collect some
I money from a man he did not

WASHINGTON (M--President Nixon's proposal to junk,
the 1965 Voting Rights Act in favor of his own broader meas-
ure appears doomed to fail its first congressional test.
A solid bipartisan majority of a 13-member House judic-
iary subcommittee was lined up against the President's bill
in advance of today's vote, indicating the panel would ap-
i ddprove extending the 1965 act which is favored by civil rights
groups.
The outlook for the administration's proposal, which
would expand voter protection to all 50 states rather than the
seven southern states covered by the current law, is not much'
better in the full Judiciary Committee which will take up
the legislation next Tuesday.
The 1965 law was designed to increase black registration
and voting in the South. Since ,,.------ ----- -

James S. Peters of Manchester,
Ga., chairman of the state school
board agreed with Nix.
Both Nix and Peters said they
will follow the advice of Georgia
Atty. Gen. Arthur Bolton, who
said he expects the board to de-
clare it has no authority to distatej
to local boards and that the mat-
ter will then go to the courts.
Gov. Lester Maddox called the
move "just another step to stamp
out local control over education
and put people at the mercy of
federal whims."
In Chicago, the Justice Depart-
ment demanded ina letter to

Whiston complete faculty integra-
tion, contending teacher assign-
ment policies deny equal educa-
tional opportunities to black
youngsters.;
Leonard said the department
had reached such conclusions af-
ter an extensive examination that
showed over a third of the city's
578 schools had either all white
or all black faculties.
The largest school desegregation
suit filed thus far is aimed at
alleged segregation in the Hous-
ton, Texas, school system. The
Chicago system, third in size be-
hind New York City and Los An-
geles, has 580,000 students, 53
per cent of whom are black. It
has 22,000 teachers.
In Chicago, Warren Bacon, a
black member of the school board
who opposes Whiston, welcomed
what he called "this belated ac-
tion on the part of the federal
government."

By DANIEL ZWERDLING
Student Government Council passed unanimously last
night a motion which demands that advisory committees in
the Office of Student Affairs assume policy-making powers.
The move-which SGC President Marty McLaughlin calls
a "direct challenge to President Fleming"-stipulates that
SGC appointees will refuse to participate on any committees
which do not conform to the demands by July 15.
Under the SGC motion, the OSA committees must:
-Consist of at least two thirds student membership;
-Make decisions which "the administrator is to recog-
nize ... as official policy of his office."
In addition, all the members of
the overall OSA policy board must
be students, according to the de- AS
mands.
SGC has requested all depart-
ment heads in the. OSA to report
where they stand on the issue.
Several have indicated they sup-
port its demands, McLaughlin
says, but SGC expects most to
side with Fleming. iaeiip lln
