Although council did not formally reopen action on the concert, it passed an amendment, which had been intro- duced last week by Councilman Nicholas Kazarinoff (D-Third ward), restricting the volume of electronically amplified music and voice. The anti-concert group, carrying signs saying "Politics and music?

The amendment, which o n 1y Harris voted against, stipulates that within the park grounds music can not go above 97 decibels for longer than three hours meas- ured at a distance of 10 feet from each loud speaker. More importantly, for each sub- set of the three hour period the volume cannot reach or go above } 100 decibels for two hours, 102 decibels for one and a half hours, 105 decibels for one half hour, or 115 decibels for one quarter hour. If the volume reaches 120 deci- bels or exceeds the said time limit, the group responsible for the noise would be guilty of misdemeanor. 90 decibels is the volume of heavy traffic during rush hour. John Sinclair, White Panther I minister of information and man- t ager of the MC-5, said the amend- I ment is "ridiculous." "It's a ruse against the people who like rock e music." t "We're not concerned at all with volume," he added. "People have d been listening to the MC-5 for s four years and no one has com- a plained. I've been right next to - the amplifiers and loudspeakers s and I'm not deaf." Sinclair said there currently are e no plans for action concerning the amended ordinance. "I guess we'll a probably just have to go down to t court and pay the money they'll - say we owe." e Det. Lt. Eugene Staudenmaier Y said last night that the volume at a last week's concert ranged from t approximately 60 to 110 decibels. - Except for that amendment, Harris said Council did not have any other plans for action on the - concert park. a Jack Garris, an attorney claim- ing to speak for all the anti-con- cert persons, told Council he had S6,000 signatures of residents de- m manding that the concerts be pro- r hibited. He claimed he would have 10,000 signatures by the end > of the week. e The attorney said the Ann Ar- e bor citizens were disturbed with profanity, drinking, disrespect to e women and children and those who incite others to riot-all ele- - ments of the rock concerts, he claimed. - "You have capitulated the city - to - hippies, not citizens," Garris claimed. He added that if Council e did not act firmly against the con- s certs now, it would "leave us no y alternative but to recall" all Council members and the mayor. Stop ease By JUDY KAHN Grant Fischer, arrested during an incident early Saturday in front of the Whistle Stop restaur.. ant, failed to appear for arraign- ment yesterday. District Judge Pieter Thomas- sen subsequently issued a bench warrant for Fischer's arrest and forfeited his bond money. Jacqueline Evans and Audrey Simon, also arrested during Sa- turday's incident, appeared before the court yesterday afternoon. They -claimed they failed to ap- pear for arraignment earlier in the day because they were not in- structed to do so. Thomassen set arraignment for the two women for Thursday. At that time they will be asked to plead guilty or not guilty to the charges brought against them. Fischer, Miss Evans and Miss Simmons were all charged with misdemeanors. Fischer w a s charged with obstructing, resist- ing, hindering and opposing a law enforcement officer in the discharging his duties. Miss Evans was charged with disorderly conduct for using vile, profane or obscene language in a public place.And Miss Simon was charged with conducting her- self in a public place so as to obstruct the free and uninterrupt- ed passage of the public. The incident occurred early Sa- turday morning when police or- dered Richard Gartee, manager of the Whistle Stop, to remove a table and chairs from a patio owned by the restaurant. When more police arrived, Gar- tee told Miss Evans to get the officers' badge numbers. Witness- es said she returned to the res- taurailt saying, "I got the pigs' numbers." Police then arrested Miss Evans for her profane language. Both Miss Evans and Fischer are employed by the Whistle Stop. Witnesses said Miss Simons was arrested while trying to ob- tain signatures for a statement saying Miss Evans had not spoken profanely.

Ostensibly, they were observing Bastille Day, 180th anniversary of the start of the French Revolution. About 50 Berkeley police and a dozen university police guarding the lot were showered with rocks, bottles and occasional cherry bombs. a Traffic was blocked on Tele-j graph Avenue alongside the uni- versity. About 200 demonstrators there sang "We Shall Overcome" and shouted "We want the Park." Some university students were recognized among the demonstra- tors but most appeared to be the so-called Berkeley "street people" who have spawned numerous out-, breaks in recent years. No one would claim leadership of the demonstration, which had been promoted with unsigned leaf-I lets over the past few days. One demonstrator boasted that the wire cutters had been taken' to the scene in a dummy coffin' and had been baked in loaves of bread. Police said no firearms were used in repelling the crowd.

To begin to cope with what he called "this growing menace to the general welfare," Justice Department officials said Nixon will send Congress two bills in session would be raised from the present one-year maximum to from two to ten years for first offenders, and to from five to 20 years for second offenders. The LSD penalties would be made similar to those for mari- juana, and heavier fines were proposed for marijuana sales.
