PRESIDENT FERDINAND MARCOS yesterday called for a
"democratic revolution" in the Philippines in order to change
and revivify its society.
The alternative to an immediate cure, he said, would be the
country's swamping in a flood of reforms.
The city of Manila had been tense for the past week, fearing:
conflict between police and youths who have advocated sweeping re-
forms in the Philippines along Communist lines.
Marcos outlined his programs for ru'al electrification and land
reform and expressed hope that a constitutional convention this sum-
mer would produce a blueprint for the peaceful transformation of the
country.

in Berrigan trial
HARRISBURG, Pa. Ufig - A Roman Catholic nun named
as a co-conspirator in an alleged kidnap plot was yesterday
granted immunity from prosecution and ordered to testify
before a federal grand jury probing the case.
U.S. District Court Judge R. Dixon Herman told Sister
Jogues Egan that "no information can be used against you
unless it involves perjury. This court will protect you."
The 52-year-old nun, now living in New York City, had
balked at testifying after.the jury indicted six persons, three
of them Catholic priests, and named seven coconspirators,
including Sister Jogues.
The government said they were involved in a plot to
kidnap presidential adviser Henry Kissinger on Feb. 22 and
blow up the heating systems of five government buildings
in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Attorney Guy Goodwin has

more people might be indicted.
The judge told Sister Jogues,
in ordering her to testify, that the
grand jury also was inquiring in-
to interstate transportation of ex-
plosives, traffic contraband, a n d
destruction of federal property.
There was no further amplifica-
tion of this comment. ,
The six defendants, headed by
imprisoned antiwar priest, T he
Rev. Philip Berrigan, have denied
the charges, calling them a gov-
ernment attempt to end opposi-
tion to the Vietnam war.
They insisted in statements that
their efforts to change the direc-
tion and tone of government have
always been nonviolent.
Herman, in rejecting Sister
Jogues' plea to remain silent, or-
dered her to appear before t h e
grand jury when it resumes taking
testimony tomorrow.
She appeared before the jury
on Jan. 15 and invoked the Fifth
Amendment, refusing to testify on
grounds of possible self incrim-
ination.
Her lawyer argued for a delay
on the immunity issue until it
could be decided by the U.S. Su-
preme Court.
The judge rejected the plea.

Ann Arbor police are looking
for a one year-old German Shep-
herd dog which bit a man I a.s t
Friday. The dog described as thin
featured and wearing a red col-
lar bit Burton Brody near Church
St. and Willard St. The incident
happened at noon.
If the German shepherd is not
found, Brody will have to undergo
shots to protect him from rabies.
Brody said the dog was not pro-
voked and because of this, he
suspects the dog was rabid. -
If the dog can not be located or
if it is found to be rabid, Brody
will have to undergo a series of
innoculations against the disease.
These shots are very painful and
are only given if the suspected ani-
mal is not found within a short
period of time.
An information concerning the
dog should be given to the police.
Only one person infected by
rabies has been known to survive.
The recent case involved a boy
who was bit by a rabid bat.

In another ruling, the Supreme
Court said employers may not au-

unsigned opinion said job appli-

turned down only if "conflicting

WASHINGTON (A) - The

their identity, a major part of
their special mission for the
poor, and much of their ear-
marked money.
Under the plan, the model
cities program, of which Ann
Arbor is a part, would lose both
its mission of concentrated slum
renewal and most of its $575
million appropriation.
The Office of Economic Op-
i
t
portunity, for example, would
eventually disappear. Its 1,000
community - action programs
would be consigned to the new
Department of Community De-
velopment and its neighborhood
health centers shifted to the
proposed Department of Human
Resources.
The Human Resources Agen-
cy-a renamed and inflated
Department of Health, Educa-
tion and Welfare-would take
over also the numerous man-
power-training projects that
started in the last decade, ac-
cording to administration of-
ficials who briefed newsmen on
the President's State of the
Union proposals.
The plethora of special-pur-
pose or categorical education-
aid programs of the 1960's would
be lumped into a general edu-
cation fund under the Nixon
blueprint to allow more flexible
state and local spending.
This move to block grants,
education experts believe, would
inevitably dilute the special
mission of such programs as the
$1.3 billion plan for improving
the schooling of poor children.
Under the block-grant-reve-
nue sharing plan, President Nix-
on said, "the federal government
will provide the states and lo-
calities with more money and
less interference-and by cut-
ting down the interference the
same amount of money will go a
lot further."
Nixon, hoping to spearhead a
campaign to gain support for
these proposals, met yesterday
with Republican congressional
leaders in the first of a week-long
series of briefings.
Nevertheless the majority
Democrats are expected to modi-
fy and perhaps largely thwart
dismantling of the Great So-
K~ciety.
