Congress ups school
benefits for veterans

If you're 18 or over, live and work in Ann Arbor, or are a student
at U. of M. (even if you pay out of state tuition), you can vote
in Ann Arbor.
In recent elections Ann Arbor voters have been able to vote for
the $5 marijuana fine and rent control. In November, in addition
to electing a state representative, member of U.S. Congress, state
senator, and county commissioners from the Ann Arbor area,
voters will be considering another ballot issue, preferential vot-
ing, a method of electing Ann Arbor's mayor that insures that
the election indicates the preference of a majority of the electo-
rate. And, more ballot issues are planned for the spring.

WASHINGTON (P)-House and
Senate conferees agreed yester-
day on a compromise bill to in-
crease school benefits for Viet-
nam era veterans by 23 per
cent.
In addition, the bill would
establish a loan program of $60
for each veteran and would ex-
tend from 36 to 45 months the
time an undergraduate could
receive benefits.

THE TOTAL cost of the com-
promise bill would be $1.48 bil-
lion.
The conferees met yesterdayI
for the first time since a dead-
lock developed last month and
a previous conference agree-
ment was rejected by the House.
Rep. Olin Teague (D-Tex.)
who lead the House conferees,
predicted President Ford would
sign the bill although Ford had
warned he would veto the
earlier conference report-with
nearly identical provisions-as
being inflationary.
, MANY VETERANS returned
to school without knowing how
much their monthly support
check would be.
A single veteran now getting
$220 a month would receive $270
monthly under the compromise
bill, with the amount effective
retroactively to Sept. 1.
A veteran with a wife would'
have benefits increased from
$261 to $321 a month. A veteran
with a wife and child would get

$366 instead of $298
also get $23 instead

ACCORDING TO committee
sources, the Ford administration
made a last-minute proposal to
increase benefits 20 per cent,
knock outthe loan program and
drop the extension of benefits
from 36 to 45 months for under-
graduates.
In addition, the administra-
tion wanted to delay the bene-
fits increase until Jan. 1.
In the original conference
agreement, the per-person loans
established under the special
fund would have been $1,000.
THE ORIGINAL House bill
passed earlier in the year was
for $1.1 billion and the Senate
passed a $2.076 billion bill. The
i n i t i a 1 conference produced
agreement on $1.59 billion.
The administration had want-
ed no more than a $1.2 billion
bill.

WASHINGTON (A) - A half-
hour after he resigned as Cali-
fornia's lieutenant governor, Ed
Reinecke was given an 18-month
suspended sentence yesterday
for lying to a U.S. Senate com-
mittee about an ITT financial'
pledge to the 1972 Republican
National Convention.
U.S. District Judge Barring-
ton Parker also placed Reinecke
under one month of unsuper-
vised probation.
"You were a victim of your
own selfish ambition," Parker
told Reinecke. "But under the
circumstances you have been
penalized sufficiently."
REINECKE resigned as Cali-
fornia's lieutenant governor at
12:15 p.m. EDT in letters sub-
mitted to the state assembly
speaker and president of the
California state Senate.
The maximum penalty Parker
could have imposed for the one
count perjury conviction was
five years in prison and a $2,000
fine.

Reinecke stood before Parker
prior to the sentencing and de-

iterating his claim of innocence.
REINECKE said that he dem-

"nothing to be covered up,
nothing to be hidden" and that
he was guilty of no wrong-
doing.
Reinecke said he was open
and candid with the FBI, the
press and the special prosecu-
tor's office, "but perhaps co-
operation with law enforcement
isn't always the best thing to#
do."
He said that all of the evi-

"I STILL DO not feel that I
am guilty," Reinecke told the:

F. Joseph Donohue, Reinecke's
Washington attorney, said the
sentence would be appealed in
a day or two before the U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals here.
