Attending the game was Tonight Show personality Johnny Carson, who, that evening, brought his late night antics to local fans. But some students who paid the five dollars to-see Carson complained that his show was geared to a middle-aged audience rather than college students.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department announced yesterday it is issuing visas to Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and his three black allies in Rhodesia's ruling Executive Council. Department spokesman Thomas Reston said the administration decided to make an exception and grant the visas "because we believe the visit can contribute to the process of achieving a settlement." RESTON SAID the decision does not imply an endorsement of the Smith government, but rather reflects "our urgent desire to leave no stone untur- ned, no opportunity ignored, and to fur- ther our efforts to end the bloodshed and suffering." He said administration officials ex- pect to meet with the Smith group during their visit here. The department's decision follows a two-week tug of war within the ad- ministration over whether to grant U.S. visas to the leaders of a regime that the United Nations regards as illegal. SMITH AND THE Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole probably will fly to New York on Saturday and then come to Washington early next week. The other two black members of the Rhodesian leadership ,will come at a later date. "I am extremely gratified that Secretary of State Vance is giving the Rev. Sithole and Mr. Smith an oppor- tunity-to visit the United States," said Sen. S. I. Hayakawa (R-Calif.), who was a leader of the move to bring the Rhodesian leaders to this country. "I am glad the American people will have the opportunity to hear and see Mr. Smith and the Rev. Sithole so that they can judge for themselves the sin- cerity of their determination to move their nation to black majority rule," Hayakawa said. SMITH AND HIS colleagues applied for visas last month after they were in- vited to come to the United States by 27 senators led by Hayakawa. The administration had delayed a final decision on the U.S. visa ap- plications from Rhodesia's new bi- racial leadership while it examined the possibility of convening an all-parties conference, U.S. officials said earlier. The administration has been reluc- tant to grant Smith unconditional ac- cess to the United States, citing United Nations sanctions against Rhodesia as well as the possibility of an angry reac- tion from black African nations. THE INCONCLUSIVENESS of the soundings on an all-parties conference contributed to the delay in a final State Department decision on the visa ap- plica tions. The United States has been in contact with the so-called "front-line" states in southern Africa, which have taken an active role in trying to promote a tran- sition to black majority rule in Rhodesia. Informants reported, however, there was no consensus among these coun- tries to convene such a conference and the idea has been scrapped for the time being. SMITH AND SITHOLE originally were scheduled to come here on Mon- day but were forced to delay their plans because of the State Department's. in- decision on their applications. The senators who invited Smith and his colleagues said it was only fair that they be allowed to present their case. to the American people since Smith's guerrilla rivals, Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe, have visited the United States several times. Developers sue to keep disabled out DailyOff icial Bulletin. HOLLY (UPI) - Developers of a new posh subdivision near this Oakland County community have filed a $200,000 suit to prevent six mentally and physically disabled adults from living in a home in the area. The suit was filed by the developers of the subdivision, Roger Roeser and Pontiac area businessman Carl Lun- dquist. THEY OBTAINED a last-minute court order Monday, temporarily halting operations of the home pending a hearing in Oakland County Circuit Court next Tuesday. The order was issued by Judge Robert Templin just one day after the two women and four men were to move into the $70,000 new home. The house was modified for the women, who were confined to wheelchairs because of physical as well as mental disabilities. It has wide doorways, special bathroom facilities and outside ramps to accommodate wheelchairs. "NEITHER THE developers nor I have anything against the mentally retarded," said attorney Donald Schuster. "We've emphasized that from the beginning."' He said his clients, who own and are selling lots in the subdivision, asked for $200,000 based on an appraiser's opinion that the group home would cause "an immediate and irreparable" effect on property values. SCHUSTER SAID the group home violates the subdivision's deed restric- tion, which limits occupancy to single- family, non-commercial residences. The development is Shiawassee Creek Farms in Springfield Township. The 20 lots are being offered for about $14,000 to $16,500 each, and only a few have been sold, said Schuster.
