Harris made the announcement at last night's special session in the council chambers at city hall. Harris said his decision to name a police-community re- lations committee comes as a response to two incidents this year 'between police and members of the Ann Arbor com- munity. One of the incidents was the arrest and alleged beating of Human Relations Commission staff member Ray Chauncey. Judge denies R new trial MEMPHIS, Tenn. (VP) - James Earl Ray was denied a new trial yesterday in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Judge Arthur C. Faquin Jr. ruled that Ray's March 10 guilty plea to the slaying closed the door on another trial, an appeal or any other type of post-conviction ac- tion by the defense. In addition, Faquin held, Ray had signed voluntarily a waiver, of these rights and had stated in open court he did so with full understanding and at his own free A will. J. B. Stoner of Savannah, Ga., one of Ray's three attorneys, noted an exception to the decision. Later, he told newsmen that "some moves" would, be made by the defense team, but he said just' what moves would be made-and when-had not been decided. Further appeals by Ray could be based upon virtually any step in the prosecution of judging of the case thus far, a legal expert said. After the ruling, Faquin ordered that Ray be returned to his max- mx imum-security cell in the state penitentiary at Nashville to con- tinue serving his 99-year term. 'Chauncey was released and the officer involved, Wade Wagner, was forced to resign from the Ann Arbor police department. County Sheriff Douglas Harvey has subse- quently hired Wagner as a sheriff's deputy. Harris said last night, "Last year the city had no incidents of conflict between members of the community and its police force. This year we've already had two and I think it should be looked into." Harris has been under pressure to review the police-community relations situation by two citizens groups in addition to the HRC. One of them is an ad hoc group of Ann Arbor ministers, factory workers, housewives, social work- ers, and students and professors at the University. It sent an open letter to Harris which was read at last night's council meeting by Larry Hochman, a physics profes- sor at Eastern Michigan Univer- sity and a co-signer of the letter. The group requested Harris to make public all information relat- ing to the Chauncey-Wagner in- vestigation and asked him to di- rect the HRC to release to the public its files on previous cases of police abuse. Another group, the Ann Arbor Citizens Concerned About Police- Community Relations, has asked Harris and the City Council to implement ten recommendations for action in the police-community relations area. Harris will attend an open meet- ing of the group tonight at 8 p.m. See MAYOR, Page 5 Capital outlay bill1 cut By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN The State Senate Appropria- tions Committee last night report- ed to the floor a capital outlay bill including $4.9 million for con- struction at the University. The total appropriation would be considerably less than the $6.7 million recommended by the gov- ernor, and about one-third the funds requested by the University. The $4.9 million, includes an initial building appropriation for the architecture school, as well as funds for continued construction or remodeling in five other build- ings. However, the bill includes no new planning money for buildings which University administratorsI hoped to at least begin this year. Those included a new chemistry building and a new mathematics structure.t The Senate committee's bill1 Would provide: -$100,000 for General Library, remodeling ($800,000 had been re- quested; -A final $120,000 appropriation for elevator renovations in Uni- versity Hospital; -$500,000 for a neurosurgery' and women's hospital;, -$2 million initial construction appropriation for the new Modern Languages classroom and office building which received planning. money last year. -$2 million for continued con- struction in the new Dental com- plex. This construction is now in its second phase. -$220,000 for the architecture building. overn0r' request cut by $1.9 millon By SHARON WEINER University administrators yesterday predicted a substan- tial tuition increase for 1969-70 as the State Senate Appro- priations Committee reported out a $249.1 million higher education appropriations bill including only $65.3 million for the University. The $65.3 million figure is $1.9 million less than the governor's January recommendation and $10.6 million less than the $75.9 million request filed by the University last November. Vice _President for Academic Affairs Allan F. Smith last night agreed that; if. the $65.3 million-$2 mhillion more than last year's appropriation-constituted the final appropria- tion, the University would fall $2.4 million short of essential revenues. Student. Smith said this difference would have to be made up through an increase in students fees. He agreed that an estimated $50 in- crease for in-state students and a $150 increase for out-of-staters would come close to covering this deficit. -Associated Press 1 The astronauts after their return to earth Apollo 10 splashes down in sight of rescue ship By The Associated Press The Apollo 10 lunar explorers landed safely on earth yesterday, ending a 700,000-mile space voy- age which cleared the way for an American moon landing attempt in July.

PROTEST BERKELEY OCCUPATION Cai students boycott classes The spacecraft, dangling be- neath huge orange and white parachutes, came into view of tele- vision cameras aboard a helicopter carrier several minutes before hit- ting the water. Waiting rescue helicopters gain- ed radio contact with the space- craft almost immediately after it passed through a three-minute blackout period which started at the height of its burning re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. The spaceship, landing in near darkness, hit the water only about three miles from the recovery ship, whose lights flashed in the semi- darkness. Helicopters immediately hovered over the floating capsule and swimmers dropped into the inky water to aid the crew. Apollo 10 made the hottest, fastest and riskiest plunge ever back into the atmosphere of earth. The spacecraft reached 24,694 miles an hour just before slicing into the upper limits of earth's at- mosphere. The most important hours of Apollo 10's eight days in space came during its 61 hours of orbit around the moon. Stafford and Cernan flew the fragile lunar lander. to within 49,000 feet of the moon's surface, proving the moon machine's design and gath- ering vital data about the austere lunar site where Apollo 11 will attempt the first landing. The administrator of the Na- tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration said yesterday that He noted that the Apollo 11 launch date had been set for July 16, with astronauts Neil A. Arm- strong and Edwin E. Aldrin sched- uled to land July 20, with Michael' Collins remaining in lunar orbit in the command ship. "However," Paine said, "we would have no hesitancy in post- poning the Apollo 11 mission if we feel additional time is needed to make certain we're ready." He said that decision would be made in two weeks after a thor- ough evaluation of Apollo 10 data. Committee studies However, Smith added that he hopes the House will "rectify some' of the damage," and that a lesser increase in tuition would then be possible. "This is the third consecutive year of inadequate state appropri- ations," Smith said. "If the Sen- ate bills stands, state appropria- tions in three years will have been increased only $7.3 million over the level of 1966-67, an increase of 12.5 per cent." "In the same period," he con- tinued, "student fee revenues have increased 46.3 per cent (from $20.3 million to $29.7 million) and other University income has increased 121 per cent (from $850,000 to $1,979,316)." "The University and its stu- dents have done their share in providing dollars to maintain the quality of the institution," Smith See TUITION, Page 5 The student voter bill died yesterday as the State Sen- ate Appropriations Committee failed to report it to the floor before the midnight deadline. The bill would have removed wording from state law which says a person neither gains nor loses residency while a student at any institution of learning in the state. The bill 'obtained only four of the five votes it needed to be re- ported out of the eight-man com- mittee. Co-sponsor of the bill, Sen. An- thony Stamm (R-Kalamazoo) said last night he intends to sponsor a similiar bill next January. The bill was originally referred to the appropriations .committee because some legislators feared a change in the voting residence re- quirement would enable out-of- state students to claim eligibility for lower in-state tuition rates. Proponents of the measure ob- jected to the' move saying the pro- posal in no way affects tuition re- quirements, and the move was only an attempt to keep the meas- ure from a vote. At a hearing before the com- mittee last Thursday, backers of the bill agreed to attach a dis- claimer stating that the bill would in no way affect residence laws. The measure, written in part by University law students, had the support of the Ann Arbor City Council and Atty. Gen. Prank Kelley. Co-sponsor of the bill Sen. San- der Levin (D-Berkley) has' said the bill had bi-partisan support and there was a "fighting chance" it might have made it on the floor.

At UCLA, strike leaders said 30 per cent of the 29,000 students took part in the class boycott. person, James Rector, a non- student, began about two weeks ago when street people in Berke- ley turned a three-acre vacant lot owned by the university into a people's park. The university ordered the lot cleared and the demoiistrations began. Police opened shotgun fire .on one demonstration in which Rector was killed and some 50 persons injured. Yesterday the street people took over another vacant lot for a new people's park. The lot is some distance from the univer- sity campus and covers a por- tion of underground rapid transit tunnels. proposals By TOBE LEV The University finally has be- gun to act on the Osterheld re- port, an in-depth study of the Union and space allocation prob- lems which was released in April. A committee to study the space allocation recommendations of the- study, prepared by Douglas C. Os- terheld, assistant vice-president for business and finance at the University of Wisconsin, met for the first time Tuesday to estab- lish a timetable for its own in- vestigation. Osterheld has recommended that the entire Office of Student Affairs be moved to the Union and has suggested converting old guest or Union the Alternative and the Interna- tional Center need rooms immedi- ately. "We will probably recommend space allocations for next year and then take the leftover space and organize it for the next five or ten years," he says. The committee recommendations will be forwarded to President Fleming. Stromberg is unsure if the decision will be made exclu- sively by Fleming and administra- tors or in conference with the Un- ion, League and all the groups concerned.
