25,000 BOND SET-
Seattle.defendants
win release on bail
SAN FRANCISCO (P) - The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
ordered yesterday that the Seattle 7 conspiracy defendants be freed
on $25,000 bail apiece, rejecting a government claim that freeing them
would be "a danger to the community."
Judges Stanley Barnes, Charles Merrill and James R. Browning'
turned down a government request that they reconsider their Dec. 23
order which directed that bail be granted pending an appeal from
contempt sentences handed down Dec. 15.

Three police officials said
yesterday that they had
agreed to participate in Wash-
tenaw County Sheriff Douglas
H a r v e y's proposed "Intelli-
gence Squad" without knowing
of provisions in the grant pro-
posal dealing with "campus
disorders, civil disorders and
union strikes."
Harvey submitted the grant pro-j
posal for the tri-county squad
yesterday, according to the sher-
iff's department. The proposal
asks for federal funding of a
squad which would investigate or-
ganized and syndicated crime,
local traffic in illegal drugs, and
people involved in "civil disorders,
c a m p u s disorders, and union
strikes."
Herbert Smith, Ypsilanti police
chief, said yesterday that he "had
never seen the proposal," and that
he was not aware of the provis-
ions. Smith said the sheriff had
told him the squad would "be
mainly for narcotics."
Theusheriff never mentioned stu-
dent unrest, civil disorders or un-
ion strikes, according to Smith.
John Hayes, chief of the East-
ern Michigan University (EMU)
campus police, also said he had
not seen the proposal and that he
had no idea it dealt with campus
unrest or civil disorders.
Hayes added the proposal was
explained to him and Smith as a
narcotics and vice-squad.
Lieutenant Hale of the Milan
police department said that his
chief (who was out of town) was
contacted by letter about the
"Washtenaw County Intelligence
Squad." Hale said his chief wrote
to Harvey agreeing to participate
in such a squad but never saw the
actual proposal.
Harvey scrapped plans for a
county intelligence squad Monday
in favor of a tri-county squad. The
tr-county squad, if the grant is
approved, will still be under Wash-
tenaw County Sheriff's Depart-
ment control.
Hale said all he knew about the
new squad proposal was "what
I've read in the Ann Arbor news-
papers." He added that to the best
of his knowledge no one in his
department had been contacted
about the new squad. He was not
aware that the Milan police were
listed in the new grant proposal
as having agreed to participate
in it.

WASHINGTON (R) - The nationwide unemployment rate
surged up to 6 per cent in December, approaching recession
levels despite the return of General Motors strikers to their
jobs. The rate was the highest in nine years.
The Labor Department announced yesterday that 4.6 mil-
lion Americans were out of work and seeking it last month.
Retailers hired fewer Christmas workers than normal, in-
dustry laid off more white collar employes, and some plants
apparently did not rehire all the workers laid off as a sec-
ondary result of the automobile strike.
Meantime, inflation has robbed workers of the benefit of
an estimated 3.4 per cent increase in weekly earnings for the
year through November, the Labor Department said. Because

trial.
U.S. District Court Judge George
Holdt had ordered the seven de-
fendants jailed after a violent'
courtroom disruption of their trial
in Tacoma, Wash.

WASHINGTON (P) - The Unit-
ed States District Court of Ap-
peals in the District of Columbia
has ordered that William D. Ruck-
elshaus, administrator of the En-
vironmental Protection Agency,
issue immediate notices of can-
cellation for all uses of DDT.
The court also ordered Ruckels-
haus to determine whether DDT
was an imminent hazard to pub-
lic health and whether all inter-
state shipments of DDT should
be suspended.
The court order was directed at
the Environmental Protection
Agency because of the reorganiza-
tion of environmental responsibil-
ity ordered by President N i x o n.'

Previous responsibility for the re-
gulation of pesticides, herbicides
and rodenticides was held by the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The major result of the order
will be the cessation of the spray-
ing of cotton, fruit trees and vege-
tables. DDT is the most widely
used pesticide against the boll
weevil in cotton plants.
It is not yet known whether the
order would be appealed to t h e
Supreme Court by the Environ-
mental Protection Agency al-
though it is believed that t h e
agency will not do so because it is
not as sensitive to pressure from
pesticide manufacturers as t h e
agriculture department.

The decision by the court re-.
presents a considerable victory for
the four citizens groups w h i c h
have spearheaded the drive
against DDT. The groups are the
Sierra Club, The Environmental
Defense Fund, The West Michigan
Environmental Action Council and
the National Audubon Society.
The suit was filed by the groups
after the agriculture department
"placed under study" a request to
begin cancellation procedures for
all uses of DDT and did not re-
spond to a petition to suspend
sales of the pesticide.
Judge David L. Bazelon a n d
Judge Spottswood W. Robinson
ruled that if the department has
any serious doubts about the safe-
ty of DDT to the public it must is-
sue a cancellation notice.
The judges sent the case back to
"the secretary," Ruckelshaus, with
instructions to issue notices with
respect to the remaining uses of
DDT.

'U'facultydiscusses unionization

By ROBERT KRAFTOWITZ
Unionization, long deemed inappropriate
as a method for strengthening the power
of a college's faculty, appears to be arous-
ing the interest of an increasing number of
University professors.
Noticeably unhappy about the Univer-
sity's failure to keep faculty salary in-
creases in line with inflation, many faculty
members have been actively considering
the idea of organizing as a collective bar-
gaining unit.
And, after discussing the idea for several

are skeptical about being able to gather
enough faculty support for a union in the
near future.
While the idea of unionization of the
faculty is relatively new at this campus,
it has already taken hold at most of the
other major campuses throughout the
state.
Within the last year, faculty at both
Oakland and Central Michigan Universities
have unionized under the state Public Em-
ployes Act of 1965. And CMU's first round
of collective bargaining won its faculty a

turned down because the commission felt
that the only appropriate collective bar-
gaining unit was the entire MSU faculty.
The faculty at each of the state's com-
munity colleges has been unionized, and
local AAUP officials point out that the
raises this year at these institutions, and
at CMU, far exceeded the five per cent
faculty salary increase at the University.
"The chief idea is that the faculty in
this state that have created a strong bar-
gaining unit have done quite well eco-
nomically," says education Prof. Claude

af terthought."
Neither class would consent to
move and, after considering sev-
eral alternatives, both professors
went ahead and passed out hand-
out sheets, promising that the
chaos would be alleviated eventu-
ally.
A similar confrontation occurred
between Prof. William Porter's
Journalism 201 class and Prof.
Carl Cohen's Philosophy 363. A
combined philo-journalism course
was suggested for the standing-
room-only crowd, but after Cohen
claimed "squatter's rights," Porter
and his troops retreated to Aud.

Finball wizards invade dorms

"Sure I play. I'm addicted."
"It's a self-perpetuating skill. Once you get
good at it you just keep playing."
These two quaddies have joined the Pinball
Wizard in their fascination with the latest in dorm
recreation-pinball machines. The machines, their
flashing lights depicting such solid American in-
stitutions as baseball games and automobile races,
have been installed in Markley, Bursley, South
Quad, and the Law Quad.
South Quad Council President Alan Campbell,
'73, says the quad's machines were installed last
spring. Although Campbell claims, "I've spent only
a dime on them in my entire life," he noted that
many students seem to use the machines almost
