IN A REVOLUTIONARY MOVE, the American Medical
Association voted yesterday to give the nation's medical students
voting power and brought the country's thousands of medicalj
students within the policy-making realm of the world's largest
organization of physicians.
The almost unanimous vote of the AMA's House of Delegates
was in response to views of some veteran members that the organi-
zation's future lies in the hands of its young doctors.
POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA may be reduced to the level
of a parking ticket in Meridian Township, just eight miles from
the state capital and next door to Michigan State University.!
Rodney Hagenbuch, a member of the Meridian Township board
of trustees, proposed the ordinance which would impose a $5 fine for
pot offenses for the township containing about 6,000 students and
part of the MSU campus which is made up of several dormitory
complexes.
THE HOUSE PASSED yesterday an election reform bill call-
ing for spending ceilings, retaining the equal time broadcast law
and plugging loopholes governing financial reporting.
The House refused, as did the Senate, imposition of limits on
individual campaign contributions to candidates for president, vice-
president, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Both the
House and Senate bills would only affect candidates for those fed-
eral offices.

MICHIGAN 18-YEAR-OLDS will have to wait until New
Year's Day for their first legal drink since a bill that would
allow them to imbibe earlier is bottled up in a Senate sub-
committee.
Observers had thought the measure, one of a 52-bill package
pertaining to rights of 18-year-olds as adults under the "Age of
Majority" Act, would be approved in time for Christmas drinking.

the retroactive-pay provision in the ails extending vresiuent
Nixon's wage-and-price control authority, Sparkman ex-
plained to reporters.
Sparkman, Banking Committee chairman and floor man-
ager for the bill, said Republican members of his panel had
told him George Shultz, Nix-a- -

on's budget chief, has okayed'
the provision.
Over administration opposition,
the Banking Committee had writ-.
ten into the measure the provi-
sion designed to. assure retroac-
tively most pay raises negotiated
before the Aug. 15 freeze.
It states that the retroactive
raises shall be paid to the extent
they are not unreasonably incon-
sistent with the pay guidelines for
Phase 2. These guidelines permit
increases of 5.5 per cent.
The administration greatly pre-
fers the Senate language to the"
retroactive-pay provision adopted
by the House Banking Committee.
This states that the raises shall
be granted unless they are gross-
ly disproportionate to the guide-}
lines.
Separate actions in the two7
branches made it appear almost
certain yesterday that Nixon would
get his requested extension to
April 30, 1973, of his price-and-
wage-control authority.
The Senate, in a floor vote on
the bill, slapped down, 74-14, an.
attempt by Sen. Fred Harris (D-,
Okla.) to limit the extension to
two months - from April 30 to
June 30, 1972.
?Harris said it would be madness
f or a Democratic Congress to vote
such sweeping powers to a Repub-
lican President for a period ex-
tending beyond the 1972 presiden-
tial election. ,

Soviets land
first craft on
Red planet
MOSCOW (AP) - The Soviet Mars
2 spacecraft fireds the first man-
made object to the surface of
Mars yesterday and then went
into orbit around the planet, the
Tass news agency reported yester-
day.
According to Tass, "the cap-
sule delivered to the surface of
Mars a pennant showing the
U.S.S.R.'s coat of arms," t h e
hammer and sickle.
Tass said all systems aboard
Mars 2 were functioning normally
and that Soviet earth-based space
centers were continuing to process
incoming information.
The news agency said the un-
manned Mars 2 craft braked at
3:19 p.m. EST'Saturday and went
into an oval orbit with a maximum
distance of 15,534 miles and a
minimum distance of 858 miles. It
gave no, indication whether Mars
2 was taking pictures or would try
a landing.
Mariner 9 of the United States,
which swung into Mars orbit three
weeks ago, has been sending back
pictures from a low point in orbit
of 860 miles.

WOODLAND, Wash. (') - With
the search discontinued by all
but a handful of FBI agents,
public admiration for the air-
line hijackerswho disappeared
last week somewhere in the
woods of Washington with $200,-
000 appears to be growing.
"The sky piracy was an awe-
some -victory in the battle of
man against machine," says a
University of Washington sociol-
ogist Dr. Otto Larsen, "a stir-
ring example of one man over-
coming technology, the corpora-

tion, the establishment and the
system."
Thus, Larsen says; the hi-
jacker "comes off as a curious
king of Robin Hoods, taking from
the rich - or at least the big
and complex. It doesn't matter
whether he gives it to the poor
or not."
FBI officials in Portland, Ore.,
and Seattle say they will con-
tinue their pursuit of the man,
but local law enforcement agen-
cies have turned to other chores.
The air pirate seized control
of the plane Thanksgiving Eve,

passing a note to stewardess
Florence Schaffner which said
he had a bomb and would blow
up the plane unless he got what
he wanted.
The type of aircraft - a Boe-
ing 727 - may have been in-
volved more by choice than
chance. A Boeing spokesman said
the 727 is the only commercial
jetliner from which a person
could bail out successfully. The
passenger stairs lower vertically
from the tail, and "it would be
a very safe drop . . . away from
the flaps and engines," a spokes-
man said.
"He took leave of us some-
where between Reno and Seat-

tle,' pilot William Scott said.
Although officials said they in-
tended to provide everything the
man demanded, they learned a
day after the incident that one
of four parachutes they g a v e
him was a nonfunctional train-
ing model.

Mills, chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, said
his bill avoids the features he ob-
jected to in the administration
plan to earmark part of the fed-
eral income tax .yield for the local'
governments.
His bill, he said, would provide
specific amounts, would be lim-
ited in time to allow Congress to
review the system, would take need
into account in distributing the
funds to localities and would pro-
videincentives for states to rely
on their own income taxes.
Additionally, the use of the
funds would be specified within
broad categories, rather than left

to the local governments as in the
administration plan.
The committee is not expected
to act on the plan earlier than
next year. Mills said he is intro-
ducing it now "in order to afford
those interested . . . an opportun-
ity to study the measure to see
whether it represents a desirable
approach."
There had been heavy pressure
from governors and other officials
for action on revenue sharing,
which was held up in the Ways
and Means Committee, and Mills
had promised to work out an al-
ternative plan.

Joe Lill, the man:
No group was more radical or
more maligned than the IWW, the
Industrial Workers of the World,
better known as the ",Wobblies"
Joe Hill was a "Wobbly". He
travelled across the country
as a banjo-playing drifter.
When he reached the west coast,
he joined the "Wobblies" and
with his union songs, he became
one of their best organizers.
As a result, he was constantly
harrassed. Finally, in 1915, he
was indicted for murder in Salt
Lake City and executed by a
state-appointed firing squad.
Many felt he was framed.
As a minstrel/organizer/drifter,
he began the tradition that was
later followed by Woodie Guthrie
