A spot survey of clericals by the Daily yesterday revealed that all either had voted, or were intending to vote. Only one of the eleven in- terviewed said she would vote no on unionization, but several indicated that they were uncertain. Nearly all did say that they have been inundated with propaganda from the United Auto Workers, the American Federation of State County and Mu- nicipal Employes, and the University.

Bring portfolios if you have them. Only in Detroit Lt. Leroy Charrier is the new head of the De- troit Police mounted section, and he'd probably do well if it weren't for one hang-up - he can't ride a horse. "I've never had any formal train- ing," confessed Charrier, "I'd describe myself as a novice." Charrier, who assumed his new duties this week, plans to remedy the situation by taking riding lessons. "I can't wait to start," said the enthused 22-year police veteran. He says he cov- ered every beat in the police department prior to his nw appointment, including patrolling in a scout car and working with the bomb squad. "Every- thing but ride a horse," he said.

Those of you who were hoping, eventually, to see gasoline prices drop to 35 cents a gallon had better start counting your pennies again. Jack Tarner, a Phillips Petroleum Co. vice-president, says the days of high prices in gasoline are with us forever. Turner testified at Federal Energy Administration hearings. "The public generally considers that the government's program for energy independence will permit re- turning to old ways of unlimited energy use," said Tarner. "There's no way this nation can return to that situation." He said further gasoline sup- plies would involve coal gasification and liquefac- tion and shale oil -- and the consumer would have have to foot the tab. Draft evaders The Pentagon yesterday claimed that 87 de- serters have telephoned or written the armed serv- ices since President Ford announced his "earned re-entry" amnesty program Monday. No deserters have turned themselves into the authorities, but the army reported 37 phone calls for information on the program. The Marine Corps claimed 25 calls, the Air Force three, and the Navy claimed three phone calls and one letter. But that ain't nuthin', folks. The Pentagon claims there are still 12,554 Vietnpm era deserters at large. Not to men- tion draft evaders, whose numbers have been esti- mated as high as 80,000. N On the inside .. . ...

Huron St. crossings are risky By TIM SCHICK Killer machines arecruising daily up and down East Huron maiming and injuring pedes- trians who find themselves in the way. Is this the gripping plot of a grade B horror flick? Is Ann Arbor under attack from malic- ious metal monsters? THOUGH IT may seem this way, in reality what is sending chills up and down the spines of pedestrians and city traffic en- gines is the rash of accidents which are occurring on Huron between Glenn and Fletcher. Within the first week of school four accidents occurred along this stretch of highway. "There is quite a high volume of pedes- trians crossing this major in- tersection" claimed Thomas Urbinik of the City traffic de- partment. "There is no pro- tection," said Urbinik, "The pedestrian is on his own." Linda Marra of the Counsel- ing Center which is located along the hazardous section of Huron street, stated "Every time we turn around someone is running in to use the phone to report an accident." She went on to say that the rate of "almost - accidents" was about three or four a day. A COMPLAINT was made to the state department of high- ways which studied the inter- sections andconcluded that a stop signal at Fletcher would increase rather than decrease accidents.

Yesterday Ford add ressed the 29th annual session of the General Assembly. Vows support for Secretary Kissinger UNITED NATIONS (/P)-President Ford presented to the United Nations yesterday a pledge of increased U.S. food aid for needy countries, a challenge to Arab oil producers and an im- promptu endorsement for Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. "Failure to cooperate on oil, food and inflation could spell disaster for every nation represented in this room," Ford told the General Assembly as he urged "a global strategy for food and energy." It was Ford's first major foreign policy address of his five- and-a-half-week-old presidency, and he inserted into his prepared speech a paragraph intended to assure the nation, the world and Kissinger that his role will remain unchanged in the new ad- ministration. IN THE ADDED sentences, written out in long-hand by Ford minutes before his speech, the President declared that Kissin- ger "has my full support and the unquestioned backing of the American people" both as sec- retary of state and as head of the White House national se- curity system. Presidential aides said Ford departed from his prepared text because he wanted to under- score his intention that Kissin- ger will keep his post as direc- tor of the National Security C oiicil. Kissinger had been upset by news reports Tuesday that an unnamed presidential adviser had recommended he be re- Patrick Bynoe placed in the White House job.Y AFTER FORD'S speech, a re- porter asked Kissinger if he personally had asked for words of assurance from Ford. "Ab- solutely not, of course not," he renlied. student The praise for Kissinger sent a ripple of applause through the hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize winner sat with delega- tions from the United States and 132 other countries. Absent were Israel on Jewish New Year cit holiday, and Cuba, which is on c t s b c.4 unfriendly terms with the United States.

"My stand on amnesty is the same now as it was in '70," he told a gathering of 130 students at the Lawyer's Club Lounge. "I am supporting alternative serv- ice for draft evaders." HOWEVER, in a campaign statement Levin issued in Aug- ust, 1970, which appeared in the Detroit Free Press at that time, he denounced any form of earn- ed re-entry and emphasized his disavowal of the state Demo- cratic party resolution which urged amnesty for all draft dodgers. reverses stand "Those who employ civil dis- obedience to protest a law or a war must stand ready to accept whatever punishment is pro- vided by the legal code," the statement said. "Condoning an illegal act on the part of some may encourage others to follow suit in the mistaken belief that eventual exoneration is a cer- tainty. During a somewhat heated question-and-answer session fol- lowing his brief address, Levin emphasizedbhis liberal stance on women's issues-including abor- tion. ALTHOUGH he believes it is a dead issue in light of the 1973 Supreme Court ruling, the gu- bernatorial candidate re-affirm- ed his support of legalized abor- tion. "I voted for abortion reform in the legislature before it was popular," the former state sen- ator asserted. "But this is an issue which I will not have to deal with as governor." Levin also indicated his sup- port for feminist concerns in response to repeated question- ing. "I AS A MALE in politics understand t h e discrimination against women better than any- one," he behemently proclaim- ed. "I asked Martha Griffiths to be my running mate but she turned me down." Congresswoman Griffiths (D- Mich.) had announced her re- See CANDIDATE, Page 2 t n Stephen son speaks out on inadequate revenues' - By DAVID WHITING Speaking before a group of engineers last night, Mayor James Stephenson took a firm stand against a city-wide income tax saying, "the idea to soak the rich to help the poor does not work." Stephenson's theme for the evening was that "Ann Arbor has inadeqaute revenue to meet its needs" as he outlined various helpful and harmful factors to the city's revenue. He went on to explain that "if Ann Arbor en- acts an income tax, particularly a graduated income tax . . . people will move into the town- ships." THE REPUBLICAN mayor opened his speech chiding the Human Rights Party (HRP) and gays admitting in a light tone, "They (gays) like to fondle each other . . . they think it bugs me and it does." Speaking to a local chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) gathered at Webers Inn, Stephenson proclaimed "the week of Sept. 15-21 SME week in the city of Ann Arbor." Going on to mention that he turned down both Cay Pride Week and- Union Label Week, Stephen- son said, "I think the union label is against in- dividual freedoms." DRESSED IN flaired, cuffed pants, tan jacket and wearing wire rimmed glasses Mayor Stephen- son told 'the audience his experience at Alice Lloyd last year: "I thought I was to go to a 7:30 p.m. meeting at Alice Lloyd but it turned out to be 7:00 p.m.; I arrived at a quarter-to-eight; that was the best thing all night because the evening went all down hill from there." "I thought they would be average students, but Alice Lloyd is a home of the HRP . . . a gay couple in the crowd came and sat at my feet -. . for those of you who don't know what a gay couple is, that is a boy-boy or girl-girl couple." WHILE THE audience tittered Stephenson went on to say of the Lloyd gay couple, "They were fondling each other; they like to fondle each other in front of me; they think it bugs me and it does." tC Iy, C 1111g a a v d onSU of the School of Business Ad- ministration refused to hire him because he is black.

Reuther will attack Esch 'double talk' By GORDON ATCHESON Democratic congressional candidate John Reuther said yester- day that his campaign against Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) will focus on exposing the incumbent's double talk. At an Ypsilanti press conference, Reuther blasted Esch for paying lip service to consumer needs and then voting against legislation to limit oil company profits and roll back energy prices. "Although Marvin Esch has carefully cultivated his image as an independent, non-partisan Representative, his record suggests otherwise," Reuther said, "and we will bring this record to the public." APPEARING WITH Reuther was Dr. Edward Pierce who finished a close second in the Democratic Party congressional primary. Pierce conceded victory to Reuther Tuesday when a ..Y.:t,, f+,A'+ ": . :; . :t. . ' : . 4 ;. _. .. ,. '. , f~t. ' vA _ }G h yis' ' , t '.. IOW I
