Police suspect arson in these and several other fires which FEDERAL FUNDS CUT By JIM KENTCH1 The Army, the school system, and the prison system are all an- swers to the questions, "What are you going to do with the niggers?" charged a speaker at the Black Political Seminar's conference on blacks in prison yesterday after- noon. The speaker, a member of the Detroit chapter of the National Committee to Free Political Pri- soners, said that blacks are "deal- ing with a computer" when con- fronting law enforcement agencies, and that the Army, schools and prisons all serve to remove blacks from a position of effectiveness in society.

Griffin will be one of 75 Ameri- can delegates attending the "Paris World Assembly for the Peace and Independence of the Indochinese People," which will begin Friday. Griffin's request for an alloca- tion from SGC t~o attend the con- ference was turned down by the body at its Thursday night meet- ing. The conference plans to include reports on the war, discussion of the automated battlefield, talks with North Vietnamese delegates and national caucuses to plan fu- ture anti-war actions. Griffin said yesterday, "The horrors of the war should be put back in the headlines so that people won't forget that there's a war going on." PCPJ decided to sponsor her, Griffin said, because Ann Arbor has been a center for anti-war activity in the past years. ber of the Black ,Political Semin- ar and a former prisoner who lead known George Jackson, author and black revolutionary slain by pri- son guards at San Quentin prison last summer. Stephens, who co-ordinated the meeting, spoke of his prison exper- iences, saying Jackson was respon- sible for changing his political out- look. Stephens also spoke on what tie called the dehumanizing aspects of the prison system, describing the "corruption" in the parole sys- tem, and the "ineffectiveness" of the rehabilitation program - which teaches such trades as book- binding and maintenance work. He gave a chronological account of his own induction into prison, speaking of being stripped, spray- ed with disinfectant and given a set of fatigues. Guards, he said, earn overtime for riots, and try to manipulate one group of prisoners against ano- ther. Among the prisoners, he s a i d, value systems are warped to the extent that "cigarettes will g e t you anything - you can get some- body murdered if you have enough cigarettes." After the speakers, the g r o u p split into three discussion groups on the subjects of black women in prison, the development of poli-. tical consciousness among black prisoners, and black juveniles in prison. Robert Williams, who once visit- ed China and Cuba is currently fighting extradition to N o r t h Carolina, was scheduled to spe-ik but was absent.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had earlier requested $112 million of the 1973 budget for halting pollution of the Great Lakes on a comprehensive "one- shot" basis. But due to a tight financial situation, The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Squashed the $112 million cleanup request, ac- cording to Director George Schultz. The EPA proposal followed along the lines of a six-point program outlined by Sen. Ro- bert Griffin (R-Mich.) last April. Griffin, however, has denied that a final decision to kill the proposal has been made. He wrote a letter to Schultz yesterday seek- ing assurance that funds will be found for the project. But William Ruckelshaus, EPA adminis- trator, says his agency will now stop pushing for the Great Lakes crash cleanup proposal because it apparently is against administra- tion policy for at least the next two years. In addition, he says he is not going to ask for money for the program in the 1974 budget unless he gets some indication in the mean- time that it might be possible if and when the national monetary situation gets bet- ter. Ruckelshaus did acknowledge that Con- gress might force the issue this year by coming up with special'legislation asking for a Great Lakes anti-pollution drive. But it is doubtful, he says, whether funds to pay for it would be appropriated by that body. In his letter, Griffin said he was aware of budget constraints, but that it is vital to at least begin action this year for the Great Lakes project. Griffin noted that a key to a cleanup plan for the G r e a t Lakes is an agreement b e t w e e n the U.S. and Canada. He said he recently received White House assurances that such an agree- ment would be forthcoming in the spring. "I would certainly hope," Griffin added, "that a comprehensive Great Lakes program could be included in the President's forth- coming environmental message." The EPA Great Lakes program would have given special attention to grants for im- proved municipal sewage treatment and the elimination of industrial pollution of the lakes.

Kennedy says he'does not know whether or not the Legislature would force disclosure of salary figures. He adds, however, that if such a decision came the Univer- sity would comply. "It goes back to the question of whether we are required to pub- lish salaries 'because we are a state institution," he says. Fleming says he has always been opposed to publishing salary fi- gures, because such an action would involve treating universities as "special institutions." He says he thought it was ap- propriate for state taxpayers to be aware of his own personal sal- ary, but that "to publish salaries up and down the line is inappro- priate." The issue is not yet scheduled to be discussed in any upcoming Regents' meetings. Sewage plans studied here (Continued from Page 1) the tie-in. He and other critics have charged that the present SEMCOG area-wide sewage treat- ment plan would lead to pollution in Lake Erie and create excess costs for the city. Most city officials favor an ex- pansion of the local Ann Arbor treatment plant, citing "better treatment" and "lower costs" as their reasons. According to Fred Mammel, sup- erintendent of Public Works, the Wayne County plan is "more ex- pensive and proposes only second- ary treatment." He adds that the { expansion of the Ann Arbor plantl would provide a sand filtration system, with the product "looking like distilledwater next to well water or even tap water:" The estimated cost of the plant's expansion is $18 million, with an additional $5 million for retention basins. Retention basins are used to con- trol the flow of sewage into the plant so that the plant's maximum SHOWS-SK I DISCOUNTS KINGS CASTLE HOTEL 2 MEALS DAILY Phone 911-8946 anytime -Daily-Terry Mccarthy The nuclear family Not all of the Museum of Art's sculpture is inside its walls.

He hopes, that if pos- sible, the original actors, such as William Shatner and Leonard Ni- moy will be able to assume their former roles, but that this will not be absolutely necessary. If STAR fails to complete its mission of putting the series back on one of the major networks, they may produce a show themselves. According to Christman, the or- ganization has been in contact with a production company with facili- ties to film the program.
