Governor orders Rowe extradited

chicago exchag
d. r_

ATLANTA (UPI) - Gov. George
Busbee, backed by an affidavit from
Alabama saying an accused killer of
Mrs. Viola Luizzo had not been given
immunity from prosecution, yesterday
renewed his order that Gary Thomas
Rowe return to Alabama and stand trial
for murder.
Busbee, who first ordered Rowe's ex-
tradition Oct. 5, re-issued the order "to
all the sheriffs and constables" of
Georgia, directing Rowe's arrest and
appearance before a state judge to be
advised of the charges against him.
ROWE, LIVING in Savannah under

an assumed name, was an informer in
the 1965 slaying of Mrs. Luizzo, a
Detroit woman who was taking part in
the Selma-to-Montgomery march led
by the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
that year. Although Rowe was not tried
by federal authorities, state
prosecution was begun last year by
former Alabama Attorney General Bill
Baxley.
Then-Gov. George Wallace asked for
Rowe's extradition, but the defendant
contested it in court. Denying that he
killed Mrs. Luizzo, who was shot from a
pasting car while she was driving a

black man to a civil rights rally, Rowe
contended that former Alabama Attor-
ney General Richmond Flowers had
promised him immunity from
prosecution.
Busbee's extradition secretary
suspended the hearing on the Oct. 5 or-
der, pending an affidavit from Flowers
on the question of Rowe's immunity. An
aide to Busbee said Flowers advised the
governor he had never promised Rowe
immunity in the Luizzo case, and the
extradition order was re-issued yester-
day.
EXTRADITION secretary' Wilda

Crum sent a copy of the new order to
Chatham County Sheriff Carl Griffin,.
with copies to newly-elected Gov. Bob
James of Alabama and District Attor-
ney Jesse Bryan of Butler County in
Greenville, Alabama.
The Savannah sheriff was advised
that "before delivering the accused to
the agent designated by the demanding
state (Alabama), the accused shall first
be taken by you before a judge of a
court of record in this state, who shall
inform him of the demand made for his
surrender and of the crime with which
he is charged."

CHICAGO (Reuter) - Federal mar-
shals yesterday swooped on Chicago's
bustling stock options exchange to
arrest eight people indicted -for traf-
ficking in cocaine.
Three of those taken into custody
were brokers. Others included a
market maker, a clerk and a former
broker.
JUST AS THE Chicago Board Options
Exchange (CBOE) closed after daily
trading, a squad of some 50 marshals
arrived.
Tlhe marshals checked everybody
leaving the exchange on the seventh

cocame x.111
floor of the Board of Trade Building in
Chicago and seized some cocaine.
Traders were shocked by the drug
raid, which they said could harm the
exchange's image. They complained
that the arrests need not have been
carried out at the exchange. Federal
authorities said they moved to make
the arrests as soon as the grand jury
handed down the indictments after a 12-
month investigation.

(Continued from Page 1)
ATTORNEY FOR MSU, Byron
Higgins, has stated in the past that a
great effort is being made to accom-
modate all women's athletic programs.
He was not available for comment
yesterday.
Michigan Athletic Director Donald
Canhaii has recently advocated that
football, a "high revenue" sport, be ex-
cluded from Title IX provisions.
Though he admits to a present unequal
allocation of funds among sports, there
is little dissent within the athletic
department, he said.
"I am glad that the girls are going to
get the things they need, but I would
have hoped that things could have been
dealt with in a rational manner and it
wouldn't have been necessary to go to
the courts," said interim athletic direc-
tor Phylis Ocker.
According to Ocker, women and men
are given the same food allowance of
$8.50 -a day. Sleeping arrangements
vary as to the extent of the trip. Ocker
claims there to be no complaints among
teams.
"We try to be very flexible. We don't
get tp go to very many fancy places, but
none of 4he athletes mind lunch at Mc-
Donalds," Ocker said.
Radio stations receive grants
Two federal gants totaling $200,000
have been awarded to University's
public radio stations WUOM and
WVGR. The funds, awarded by' the
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, will be used to upgrade
operating facilities at both the Ann Ar-
bor and Grand Rapids transmitter
sites, according to University officials.
Specific improvements as outlined in
the grant proposals include: replacing
both transmitters with state-of-the-art
equipment; and raising the height of
the Ann Arbor antenna.
Stations manager Neal Bedford
foresees a "marked improvement in
home and auto reception throughout the
WUOM/WVGR broadcast areas" as a
result of the renovation.
"The new equipment will broadcast a
more reliable signal and be more
energy-efficient," says Bedford. "The
geographical coverage area of the Ann
Arbor signal will be increased. Because
the Grand Rapids equipment will be
automated, we will be able to increase
the WVGR broadcast day to match that
of WUOM."

Sales of the fabric may total 239.5
million linear 'yards in 1979, which
would be a 6.7 per cent increase over
last year's levels, according to a
forecast by Owens-Corning Fiberglas

A shrinking deorative fabrics
