Allende hiolds sli-m lead in Chlanvotep S in 11 LR Oe SANTIAGO, Chile (, - Sen. Salvador Allende held a narrow lead last night in Chile's crucial election, but lacked Senough votes to win outright as Latin America's first popular- ly elected Marxist president. Police moved six armored cars and four truckloads of men into downtown Santiago to halt any violence resulting from the election - the hottest Chile has witnessed this century. With two-thirds-'of the votes counted, Allende led with! 871,287 votes compared with 842,843 votes for ex-president Jorge Alessandri, a conservative. The third candidate, Christian Democrat Radomiro Tomic, ran a poor third with 661,435 votes and conceded defeat. He had hoped to succeed his fellow Christian Democrat, Eduardo Frei, as president. Frei was barred by law from seeking.a new six-year term. -There were no reports of vio- ABlence although six persons were ' isconsin, /f' killed and more than 200 were in- IS jured during the eight-month presidential campaign.

By BILL ALTERMAN Gay Liberation Front (GLF) yesterday requested that the Re- gents reconsider President Robben Fleming's ban on a proposed mid- -..} west conference of homosexuals to ' student affairs, GLF Secretary Jim Toy asked that the Regents ;: abide by their 1965 decision givingI Student Government C o u n c i l (SGC) the power to recognize, ap- prove, and schedule events of stu- dent organizations.; SGC formally requested space for the conference earlier this year. "The denial of any conference on homosexuality that does not k meet President Fleming's criteria . . . raises broad legal and moral issues of which the Regents should be made aware," GLF stated yes-t terday. SGC executive vice president Jerry De Grieck said in support of the GLF request, "If the Univer- sity doesn't change its mind I will urge SGC to take the 'necessary steps to give GLF the same rights enjoyed by any other student or-' ganization." GLF backed the appeal both with Supreme Court decisions de- fending the right of assembly, and, with opinions by the New York State Court of Appeals, the Cali- fornia Federation of Teachers andN various church groups supporting V the rights of homosexuals., When plans for a midwest con- ference were first announced last April, Fleming rejected t h e re- Protesters It quest for University facilities be-. cause he felt the proposed con- ference was not "clearly educa- A HOUSE DIVIDED: tional in nature." _ In June he again turned down the request for University space, Uren c citing adverse publicity as a ma- jor reason. '" n'~ U welfare groups By TAMMY JACOBS The Board of Trustees of the First Unitarian Church late last night voted to give $5,000 to two welfare groups that have been demanding reparations from county churches. The $5,000 figure is the top sum the Board is allowed to Allot without permission from the congregation, according to its minister, Rev. Erwin Gaedes. The welfare groups had originally demanded $50,000. The UnitarianChurch's action came after a coalition of ten other churches obtained an injunction barring the dem- onstrators from their premises. The Unitarian Church had refused to join the coalition's action. Members, of the County Black Economic Development League, Inc. (BEDL), the County Welfare Rights Organiza- tion (WRO) and a small group ',of supporters stayed at the - Unitarian Church last night,Studenls but would not comment on the action. -Daily-Richard Lee eave First Presbyterian Church house plagued by wanted list WASHINGTON (/) - F o u r men charged with bombing the Army Mathematics Research Cen- ter at Madison, Wisconsin, were added to the FBI's Ten M o s t Wanted List yesterday. Fugitive warrants and charges r*of sabotage, destruction of gov- ernment property and conspiracy were filed against the four Wed- nesday. Karleton Lewis Armstrong. 22, h i brother Dwight Alan Arm- strong, 19, David Fine, 18, and Leo Frederick Burt, 22, are ac- ccused by the FBI of the Aug. 24 bombing which killed a physicist and caused an estimated $6 mil- lion damage. Federal officials believe at least' two of the fugitives m a y have g o n e to Canada. On Thursday, #Donald Armstrong of Madison, fa- ther of the :two brothers, s a i d Karleton had told him in a tele- phone conversation he hadn't bombed the buildings. Th7e FBI said the fugitives, should be considered armed and dangerous. -For the first time in history, half the FBI's "most wanted"1 scroll consists of 10 fugitives, but the FBI expanded it to 14 with the addition of the "Wisconsin 4". Allende. a 62-year-old senator, was making his fourth attempt for the presidency. Backed by a coali- tion of six leftist groups, includ- ing his own Socialist party and the large Communist party, he was trying to improve on his 1964 showing when he polled 38.9' per cent of the vote. Alessandri, 74, who served as president frpm 1958 to 1964, ran as an independent with s o1 i d conservative backing. Tomic, 56, a former ambassador to Washing- ton, was the candidate of Frei's ruling party. k The possibility of Allepde's election led to speculation t h a t Chile's traditionally apolitical mil- itary might attempt a takeover. Top military leaders strongly denied there was any possibility of a coup, but said they would pre- serve public order "at all costs." Tomis and Alessandri, both heavily guarded, cast their votes in Santiago. Allende, who is re- gistered in the southern province of Magallanes, was in the capital and could not vote. All three men had huge per- sonal followings. Each promised social and political reforms in Chile, -the world's largest copper exporter. Officials said the turnout was bigger than expected even though voting is compulsory in this country of nine million people. Women, who make up 49 per cent of the electorate; flocked to vote. In August GLF was able to re- serve space in the Union for an all-Michigan homosexuals con- ference. However,upon hearing of the space allocation, Newell sent a letter to Union General Man-~ ager Stanfield Wells in which she reiterated Fleming's earlier rea- sons for banning the conference. Wells rescinded the allocation when Toy refused to meet with him to discuss Fleming's criteria. GLF then used several rooms in the Student Activities Building (SAB) for the conference. Approximately 35 people at- tended the meeting, including representatives from GLF in Ann Arbor, Detroit, East Lansing, and Kalamazoo. GLF plans originally called for the midwest conference to be held in September. Toy said yesterday, however, he didn't expect it to be held un- til November or December. By HARVARD VALLANCE The 22 students who planned to spend the term in the French environment of Oxford Housin's Emmanual House might find it difficult communicating in French to the eight English-speaking freshmen inadvertently assigned there., Emmanual House is one of the University's several "language houses" where the objective f o r Americans is to speak only a foreign language. Because a com- bination of overcrowding in the residence halls' and the belated use of a computer, says Resident Director Eric Cane, nearly a third of the house residents speak no French at all. Cane says the atmosphere in the co-ed house is communal in spite1 of the language barrier. But Eng- lish is liberally spoken, and the anticipated interaction in French "just does not take place." This is the third consecutive year that non-French speaking- students have been assigned to the house, says Assistant Univer- sity Housing Director Edward Salowitz. This is due to the lack of French language student appli- cants, rather than any overcrowd- ing in the residence halls, he adds. He says however, that the house has always ended each year with all French speaking resi- dents, due to transfers. Cane says the house might have gotten off to an all-French start if the University had processed the Engli'shmen from Oxford the applications through a com- puter before the end of the sum- mer. He adds, however, that the freshmen, are welcome to stay and learn as much in the house as possible. Steve Daly, one of the "foreign- ers" who has to get by in English, says that he has already mastered three words in French and has memorized his way around the kitchen, which contains a few French labels. "Its sort of cool" he says, adding that he enjoys the mild dose of French culture and that he plans to stay at least a semester. There's plenty of English around and lots of translating going on" he says.y With so many people in need of. translator, says Gregory Andrus, there are mhore than enough op- portunities to return to the na- tive tongue and escape the woes of mastering a new language. "It's hard to speak French anyway," he adds., "It's much easier to get to know people in English," Andrus says, adding that after the getting ac- quainted phase of dormitory living is over, the French language 'will return to its rightful position of dominance in nost house conver- sation. The injunction was signed by Circuit Court Judge Joseph G. Rashid, and came after members of BEDL and WRO began sit-ins at the First Unitarian Church, 1917 Washtenaw Ave., and the Bethlehem U n i t e d Church of Christ, 423 S. Fourth Ave. The groups at noon had aban- doned . the F i r s t. Presbyterian Church which they had' been oc- cupying since Aug. 19, and march- ed with supporters to the Uni- tarian Church. . The demonstrators, who have visited six churches in the past two weeks, remained ip the Uni- tarian Church through .last'night. Meanwhile, support for the groups' demands grew on campus. After BEDL leaders visited Alice Lloyd Hall late Thursday night and spoke with about 100 students there, the students voted to sup- port the,-groups. Pilot Program Director Tom Lobe said there was over $100 col- lected from students Thursday night. Yesterday Pilot Program students leafletted in support of BEDL and WRO, and used the money collected to set up a day care> center for the children of demonstrating welfare mothers. "We had originally planned to hold the day care center in Alice Lloyd," Lobe said, "and we may still do so. However, students yes- terday brought food and took it over, to the Unitarian Chtrch, where they took care of children." BEDL and WRO are demanding immediate reparations funds from county churches to be used for school clothing for children whose parents are on welfare. The immediate demands are part of a long range drive for $60-$80 million from c o u n t y churches to be used to provide the county poor with clothes, housing, day care centers, food cooperatives, a medical and dental center, training programs, and a drug treatment center. A major premise of BEDL and WRO is that of "self determina- tion." The groups assert that they want to administer available funds as they -see fit. I BEDL and WRO are also de- manding that they be recognized as agents of the county's poor, and that any funds be administered through them.

The Budget Bureau passed the withholding word to the Depart- ment of Health, Education and Welfare Thursday, on the eve of college enrollment. Congressional reaction is al- ready heated. "I urge you to release this money at this time so as not to unduly restrict or inconvenience the ability of students to go to college," Sen. Ralph W. Ya-a borough, (D-Tex), wrote Presi-, dent Nixon yesterday. Yarborough is chairman of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee and a co-sponsor of legislation raising the student loan program above Nixon's requested $170.4 million to $236.5 million. Yarborough said the additional millions in federal loans are need- ed for this fall. An official in the Health, Edu- cation and Welfare DePartment loan office said the Budget Bureau advised them Thursday how much loan money be allotted. "The remainder is under, re- view," he said. "The fact we haven't received authority for it doesn't mean we won't get it." Yesterday, the loan office w a s notifying colleges across th e country how much loan money they have been allotted. In May, the loan office g a v e colleges a tentative figure based on the President's requested $170.4 million. The colleges are being told now they'll get just that amount, de- spite the $66 million increase ap- propriated by Congress. The loan office said colleges are told they might get more later in the year. Colleges requested $283 million in loan funds .for this year. For the 1969-70 school year, col- leges has asked for $268 million in federal loans, the President ask- ed Congress for $155 million and Congress appropriated $188.7 nil- lion. " N ILLEGAL RESIDUE? Drug administration to rule on future fShellNo-Pes Sti WASHINGTON (D.N.S.) - A major decision affecting the na- tion's most widely advertised and perhaps most controversial pesti- cide product - Shell's No-Pest Strip - will be announced this week by the Food and Drug Ad- ministration. On July 29th, the FDA sent a letter to the Shell Chemical Com- pany stating that its No-P e s t Strip had been found to cause il- legal pesticide residues on p r e- pared food when used in kitchens, restaurants and food-handling ar-' ,as. The FDA refused to accept Shell's contention that the No- Pest residues were safe and ob- jected strongly to its continued use in food areas. Not since the herbicide 2,4,5-T was banned for home use h a v e Federal pesticide officials made a' decision of such importance for' the individual consumer. At stake' is the principle that no pesticide' be allowed to contaminate food once it has reached a restaurant, VIOLENCE NOT FORESEEN or a kitchen in the home. Pesti- cide residues are permitted on raw agricultural commodities w h e n safe levels have been determined by the FDA. The No-Pest Strip emits a con- tinuous vapor containing DDVP, an organo-phosphate insecticide commonly used to control house flies. Approved by the Department of Agriculture in 1963 over the ob- jections of the Public Health Serv- ice, it has been the source of heated controversy between the health officials concerned with pesticide safety in the FDA and the Department of Agriculture. The dispute h e 1 p e d provoke a Congressional investigation in 1969 and led to a Justice 'Depart- meint inquiry into charges of con- flict of interest involving three Shell consultants who had worked for the Department of Agriculture in its Pesticide branch. Despite warnings from the Pub- lic Health Service and other scientists, USDA officials for years have permitted the No-Pest Strip to be used in food areas, even though no safe level of its pesti- cide residues had been determined for food. Technically it is illegal for a pesticide to contaminate food if no safe level has been set, but be- cause of a looD-hole in the law- U , officials predict. calm year By CARLA RAPOPORT The revolution may come this year, but according to Rolland Gainsley, chief of University security services; and J a m e s Brinkerhoff, director of business opera- tions, it won't start in Ann Arbor. Both men, the top officials dealing with University security, said yesterday they do not believe student dissent will grow riserimutiv this vear_ nrimarily because of Frederick Davids, former chief of the Mlichigan state police. In addition, insurance companies are no% very confident that campuses will be calm during the coming year. Last sum- mer, the amount deductible in the Uni- versity's insurance policy rose over 150 per cen. Brinkerhoff is now negotiating with the insurance company over a new contract and he is sure the rate will soar again.

"In view of the quiet summer, I don't feel we'll have a great thing here, except perhaps a disagreement between students and faculty or the administration. But this, of course, is good."
