Calls for continued
WASHNGTON UP - President Nixon asked Congress yes-
terday for power to overhaul the draft by switching to a ran-
dom lottery system, mostly of 19 yer olds.
"By drafting the youngest first, by limiting the period of
vulnerability, by randomizing the selection process, and by
reviewing deferment policies, we can do mnuch to achieve these
important iterim goals," Nixon said..
Nixon's proposal would retain undergraduate college de-
ferments and would enable a student to put off his possible
induction for four years - possibly a fifth, If he went to grad-
uate school,

May 6.
SHowever, the three-judge panel
declined to free the students on
bail. Tihe defendants, had asked
to be released on bond until their
cases could be heard in federal

The city's Human Relations
Commission yesterday asked police
to drop charges of disorderly con-
duct against HRC staff member
Ray Chauncey and take appro-
priate disciplinary action against
the police officer who the com-
mission charges beat Chauncey
after his arrest while on assign-
ment Friday night.
HRC Director David Cowley also
indicated Chauncey had decided
not to reveal his identity to see
how he would be treated. "It ap-
pears that he made the proper
decision, and a testing program
on police procedures might prove
to be a useful commission pro-
gram," Cowley said.
Cowley said Chauncey was "mis-
takenly arrested while on a legiti-
mate assignment" and then hit
twice in the mouth at the police
station. Chauncey then received
stitches at University Hospital for
his wound.
Chauncey was testing the Star
Bar, 109 North Main, for discrimi-
nation after the HRC had received
inji.ries.
Fresh police units moved in,
dispersing the students with tear
gas. But students kept throwing
rocks and bottles and massed on
another par-t of the campus.

HRC revealed yesterday that
Chauncey's preliminary report in-

tion at the bar.
Four people-three white and
one black-had made formal com-
plaints to HRC about the mis-
treatment, Ezra Rowry, former
chairman of Ann Arbor CORE,
said yesterday.
Cowley said that Chauncey de-
ter'mined that blacks were being
treated badly at the Star Bar,
"and as a result of his presence in
the bar police were called."
"Bar owners who do not want
Negroes present often create th
ruse that a Negro person is 'caus-
ing trouble' because he is pres-
ent," said Cowley.
Cowley claimed that what hap-
pened to Chauncey "is not an iso-
lated incident. It is symbolic of
what happens to black people
when they are taken to the police
station. The black person never
knows if he will be treated with
justice or if he will be beaten."
Cowley indicated the HRC will
be sending recommendations for
safeguards against such action to

Te President put his objecties
this way:
"-Change from an oldest-first
to a youngest-first order to call,
so that a young man would be-
come less vulnerable rather than
more vulnerable to the drft as
he grows older.
"-Reduce the period of prime
draft vulnerability -- and the un-
ctant thaaccompanies it -
"-Select those who are actual-
ly drafted through a random sys-
tem. A procedure of this s o r t
would distribute the risk of call
equally - by lot - among all who
are vulnerable during a given year,
rather than arbitrar'ily selecting
those whose birthdays happen to
f all at certain times of the year
or the month.
"-Continue the undergraduate
student deferment, with thie un-
derstanding that the year of max-
imum vulnerability would come
whenever the deferment expired."

MASON, Mich. L - A cir-
cuit judge ruled yesterday
that a controversial statement
made by a former Detroit po-
liceman in the "Algiers Motel
case" will be admitted into
evidence before a jury in his
trial for the murder of one of
three' blacks at a motel dur-
ing Detroit's 1967 riots.
Judge Williang J. Beer said all
statements in question, whether
written or verbal, "should be avails
able upon proper'offering In evi-
dence for either the people" or the
defendant, Ronald J. August, 31.
The ruling was considered of
key importance in th st-eree
patrolman.
In the statement, August said
he killed Auburey Pollard, 19, in
self defense. The statement was
taken by sDetroit police! the day
after the shooting.
Defense Attorney Norman Lip-
pit argued the statement was not
admissible because August had not
been informed of his constitution-
al right to 'remain silent.
A similar statement made b
former Patrolman Robert Paill~
who had been accused of the
murder of another of the youths.
Fred Temple, 18, was ruled Inad-
missible on those grounds at a
preliminary hearing in 1967.
August's statement was admitted
at that time.
An all-white jury of 13 women
and one man was selected earlier
in the day and will start hearing
the case tomorrow morning
The 14 were selected from an
all-white panel of 125 selected at
random from voter registration
and property tax lists which in-
cluded Negaroes.
Beer ordered a 114-member jury
selected rather than the normal
12 jurors and two alternates. He
said two members of the ,jury
would eliminated by lot after all
testimony had been taken.
All 125 prospective jurors were
present in the courtroom for se-
lection.
The narcotics probe was plan-
ned after a raid at Stony Brook
in January, 1968, in which 46
persons were arrested on narcotics
charges, including .29 students.

after notifying school officials,

dents and faculty.

'U' HOSPITAL HEARING
Bias charge outlin 1ed
By TOBE LEV
The State Civil Rights Com-
mission opened a public hearing
yesterday on a charge of dis-
crimination against the Uni-
versity Medical Center by Mrs.
LaVerne Hill. ,
Mrs. Hill, who was the only
witness heard, claims that when
she requested withdrawal of her
resignation as assistant operat-
ing room supervisor at the Med-
ical Center in June, 1965, she
was refused and instead offered
an inferior position at the hos-
pital because she is black.
The commission has asked the
hospital to restore Mrs. Hill to
her old position or one com-
parable and compensate her for
hospital from her hiring in 1953
to her departure in 1965.
As assistant operating room
supervisor, Mrs. Hill trained
medical technicians. S h e also
replaced the other assistant op-
erating r o o m supervisor in
charge of floor oper'ations when
the latter left in June, 1964.
In September, however, Mur-
iel Horton, the supervisor, hired
a permanent replacement f o r
the old assistanp, claiming the
two jobs were too arduous for
any one person to handle.
SHowever, Mrs. Hill felt she
was capable of handling both
jobs and felt the additional job
should have been offered her
permanently.
formation she did not have ac-
cess to which hindered her per-
formance on the job.
Mrs. Hill claimed she was giv-
en a relatively minor role in the
operating room's "d4i s a s t e r
plans" in case of wide-scale dis-
aster. The plans were changed
to give her a larger role.
When Mrs. Hill tried to with-
draw her resignation in June,
1965, the personnel director of
the hospital told her to leave
for the good of all concerned.
She tried to withdraw her res-
ignation because she and h e r
husband were not leaving Ann
Arbor as they had planned.
After Mrs. Hill left the hos-
pital she worked at IHuron
