Coen asks busi Dean Wilbur Cohen, of the educa- tional school, said yesterday at a meet- ing of the Governor's Commission on Educational Reform that the use of the property tax on homes as a meth- od of financing education is inade- quate and should be eliminated. Cohen suggested instead of the home property tax, taxation of all industrial and public utility property which would be transferred to the state, with as- sessment and tax rates to be increased yearly. "Business is the ,greatest benefactor from increased education," said Co- hen. "It should share in the costs." The present state-aid formula for school support should be eliminated, said Cohen, and a simpler formula be substituted based upon the state fi- nancing the entire cost of a minimum foundation educational program. The former U.S. secretary of health, ASKS DOMESTIC AID: education, and welfare offered a sam- ple state-aid formula which might provide school support on the follow- ing scale: 100 per cent of the first $300 a year per student, 75 per cent of the next $300, and 50 per cent of the next $300. Cohen said he believes the changes could be accomplished over the next six to seven years. "By the end of the decade of the seventies," Cohen said, "educational expenditures in Michigan are m o r e likely to be double those of today than to be 50 per cent larger." He added, "In either case the method of raising the funds and deciding how to spend them wisely will be a major problem to those in charge." Cohen claimed that unless the state is willing to provide more funds for education during the next 10 years, "Michigan may lose some of its fu- ture economic potential to states such as California and Texas." "A good educational system is what helps to attract and retain competent personnel for business, assures inno- vation a n d adaptation to changing technology, science, and managerial skills, and improves the quality of life," Cohen said. "It enables the disadvantaged to ov- ercome some of their economic and social difficulties," Cohen claimed. "It raises the income of the community and it brings in more taxes. What oth- er expenditure can claim so many vir- tues," asked Cohen. During'the past 10 years states and localities have been doing a "heroic" job of raising more money for educa- tion, according to the education school dean. However, Cohen added, that as hard as they try, they fall far short of meet- pay school ing the needs because of certain diffi- and facili culties including: iod so b( The b and local - The basic reliance on local prop- what thel erty taxes on homes to finance ele- shat the mentary and secondary education, and should be the growing refusal of voters to ap- Federal prove millage increases on their secondary homes; sented ab -- The reluctance of states to in- enues -' crease income, estate, and gift taxes hen. to finance t h e growing educational "I belie needs which may put a particular state the federa at a competitive disadvantage w i t h least 35 p surrounding or competing states; elementar - The failure of Congress to pro- by 1976,"1 vide adequate funds for existing pro- nance at1 grams of federal aid to schools and to 20 per cen enact a .longer-range program of. fi- "There nancing and ticular fig - The failure of the states to pre- less federa pare a longer-range program of their increased, needs and their financial, manpower, up with t bills ty goals over a 10-year per- oth the federal government school districts can know r respective roles could and aid to public elementary and schools in Michigan repre- out four per cent of all rev- a figure far too low, said Co- ve that the goal must be for ,al government to finance at er cent of the total cost of y and secondary education he said, "and the state to fi- least 45 per cent, with about nt coming from local sources. is no sanctity in these par- gures," Cohen said, "but un- al and state contributions are we will not be able to keep [he needs in Michigan."

Even 50 of the 100 senators, assuming all vote, which is unlikely, would be sufficient for victory since Vice President Spiro Agnew will be on hand to break any tie in favor of Safeguard. Sen. Winston L. Prouty's endorsement of the missile system on Monday appeared to have stiffened the backs of ABM supporters in the virtually evenly divided Senate. Democratic leader Mike Mansfield said the Senate would hold its long-expected secret session tomorrow and added he hopes voting can start next week. Meanwhile, speeches continue on the ABM and other parts of the $20 billion military authorization bill. * * * THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT charged two leading drug companies yesterday with obtaining a patent for the antibiotic tetracycline by fraud and sued them for $25 million in damages. A civil complaint filed in U.S. District Court accused Chas. Ple- zer & Co., Inc. and American Cyanamid Co. of making false state- ments to the Patent Office. Five other major drug companies were also charged with con- spiring to monopolize the manufacture and sale of tetracycline. Tetracycline is the nation's largest-selling broad spectrum anti- biotic. Its sales exceed $100 million a year in dosage form. Cyanamid Co. aided Pfizer, the suit alleges, in making misleading statements to the Patent Office. Both companies failed to disclose that tetracycline had been produced during the manufacture of aure- omycin, another antibiotic, and could not therefore be patented, the suit says. The government says the patent enabled Pfizer to limit the num- ber of suppliers of tetracycline and the government was damaged by having to pay an excess of $25 million in noncompetitive prices for the drug. NORTH VIETNAM rejected a plan yesterday calling for free elections in South Vietnam which will be formally presented at the Paris peace talks tomorrow. The plan, to be presented by South Vietnam's President Nguyen Van Thieu, calls on the Viet Cong to join all other factions in elec- tions to be held under international supervision. A statement issued by the North Vietnamese states that, "As long as more than 500,000 American and satellite troops 'remain in South Vietnam, there can be no question of organizing free elections for the South Vietnamese population." The North Vietnamese charged that Thieu unfolded his plan on Nixon's orders and that it was a maneuver to prevent establishing a coalition government. Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky told reporters that if Thieu's pro- posal is rejected tomorrow, he personally favors a South Vietnamese walkout on the negotiations. * * * BOBBY BAKER was named yesterday in a suit filed by the Justice Department charging him with'a conflict of interest while he was secretary to Senate Democrats. The civil suit, filed in federal district court in Washington, is seeking to recover $1.7 million Baker allegedly collected from "various private parties having matters pending before the government." The suit cited four specific instances involving $5,600 in fees. The government said it will also demand recovery for other transactions where Baker received substantial payments from private parties. DR. GERALD D. DORMAN, president-elect of the American Medical Association, said yesterday he doubted that some officials of the AMA intervened in Washington to block the appointment of Dr. John H. Knowles, to the nation's top health post. But, he added, "It might be true." Knowles was the personal choice of Robert Finch, secretary of health, education and welfare, for the position of assistant secretary of health and scientific affairs. Asked why Knowles was not on the list of names of choices the AMA submitted to Finch, Dorman replied, "We felt others had higher capabilities." Earlier, Vice President Spiro Agnew, addressing the AMA's an- nual convention, said, "Despite what you read in the newspapers, most doctors are interested in practicing medicine and not being in- volved in politics." I . . KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (R) - The Tennessee Court of Criminal Ap- peals refused yesterday to review a denial by a Memphis judge for, a new murder trial for James Earl Ray in the slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Presiding Judge Mark A. Walk- er, of Covington, announced t h e court's decision after it had de- liberated the matter less than four hours. Defense attorney J. B. Stoner, of{ Savannah, Ga., said the appel- late court's ruling will be appeal- ed to the State Supreme Court. Ray pleaded guilty in Memphis; March 10 to the sniper slaying last year of King, a civil rights; leader, and was sentenced by .r Criminal Court Judge W. Preston Battle to 99 years in state prison. In seeking a new trial, Ray claimed he was pressured by his former lawyer, Percy Foreman, of Houston, Tex., into entering the guilty plea. Foreman denied the charge. Judge Arthur C. Fequin, who succeeded Battle in handling the Ray case, denied Ray's motion for a new trial at a May 26 hearing in Memphis. The claim of the defense argu- ment before the appellate court yesterday morning was that Fa- quin erred in not setting aside the sentence on the grounds t h a t Battle died before he had time to hear Ray's motion for a new trial. Battle died 21 days after the original trial. Stoner also argued that Faquin erred in his refusal to consider as motions for a new trial letters which Ray' had written to Judge Battle from the State Penitentiary in Nashville. Thomas E. Fox, of Nashville, deputy state attorney general, ar- gued that Ray, by pleading, guilty, surrendered his right to both a new trial and appeal. Ray, now serving his sentence in Nashville's State Penitentiary; hired Stoner, Chattanooga law- yer Robert W. Hill Jr. and Mem- phis attorney Richard Ryan to represent him after dismissing Foreman. Ray was not in court yesterday for the hearing. I OPENS TONIGHT!
