Aster- IvwardAFSCME endorsed UAW. EMERICK BLAMED the nar- rowness of his union's victory on a moderate voter turnout, down 300 from the hard-fought UAV versus AFSCME election earlier last month. "There would have peen a larger margin had there been a bigger turnout," he claimed. "There was overconfidence on the part of our people. 'We thought we had a sure in." William Neff, head of the University Office of Staff and Union Relations, said his only regret was that "more oeople didn't turn out to vote. There's still a t e r r i f i c amount of detailed a "no-union" stracegy in a two-hour, invitation-oaly meeting with University pro-: fessional staffers. As one clerical said, "You've got to give Bill Neff credit for bringing the vote out, because he got people so mad." CCFA member Susan ous el- man characterized Neff's move as "a desperate illegal action" on the part of the University. "If we had lost," she said, "there would have been quite a lawsuit." EMERICK SAID a seven-day period exists between the final vote and certification of 'he new union. In that time, chal- lenges to the vote can 1ie filed with Michigan Employment Re- lations Commission. N e i t h e r Emerick nor Neff indicated that challenges were forthcoming.

One happy organizer said last night that the vote ends a "year of agony" for the clericals. However, the agony does not appear to be over for the Uni- veristy. Emerick said last night that the UAW is "having con- versations" with the campus' professional and administrative workers. He would not comment on whether these workers were planning to form a union local., REUTHER, nephew of former UAW President and national labor leader Walter Reuther, has lived in the Second District for just over a year. Although he's a newcomer to the district, his candidacy is no Cinderella story. The 30-year-old former McGovern strategist used his famous name and some old- fashioned party-line savvy to win a primary victory this sum- mer. pien in 1972. Reuther's strongest challenge for the Democratic nod came from Dr. Ed Pierce, director of Ann Arbor's Summit Medical Center. First returns on pri- mary night indicated a probable Pierce win. However, Livonia delivered a strong Reuther man- date, and left the issue dead- locked.! AFTER A month-long recount process, Pierce conceded a scant 100-vote Reuther victory margin. Carroll, a former City Coun- cil candidate, lost his University research job upon entering the race for Congress. He maintains a "democratic socialist" posture on the issues and sees little difference between the two frontrunners, rejecting what he calls "the bandaid solutions of the capitalist candidates." Ann Arbor native Esch, a four-term House veteran, enjoys the solid backing of district Re-I publicans. He ran unopposed for the GOP nomination this year. ACCORDING to liberal legis- lative watchdog Common Cause, in 1972 only eight of 435 House members received more con- tribittions from big business in- terests than Esch. B'it Reuther's war chest hard- ly su;ffers by comparison. The $27,000 in Reuther gifts from local labor (mainly UAW shops) ranks high among union stakes in this year's Congressional races. Esch, though a long-time fa- vorite a m o n g businessmen, seems to echo his main oppon- ent's views on several key is- sues. Both he and Reuther op- pose the five per cent surtax on lower-middle income fami- lies and the forced busing of schoolchildren. Each favors a national health care plan, though Reuther claims the plan he wants, unlike his opponent's, "Won't line the pockets of big insurance companies." In 1972, Reuther coordinated McGovern forces in the Mas- sachusetts primary and the Minnesota general election. He previously worked- on Indiana Sen. Birch Baye's Washington staff and with the Office of Economic Opportunity. Last year, Reuther left the East Coast for Ypsilanti to serve as a legislative analyst for Ford Motor Co. His recent ar- rival spawnedcharges of "car- petbagging" early in the cam- paign. But Reuther brushes them off, saying, "I never claimed to represent the people on a seniority basis." apathy." clericals HOWEVER, s o m e sarcastically thanked Neff assistance in getting out vote. Two weeks ago, he for' the had this is ELECT' RAE WNEAVER on CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM True reform has yet to come in the State of Michigan.

STATE CAMPAIGN Senate race stresses issues (Continued from Page 1) advocates s t e e p graduations, with elimination of many cur- rent loopholes. ECKSTEIN HAS also attack- ed Bursley's school financing bill. "The Bursley Act is insuf- ficient," he contends, claiming the law "only rearranges the in- justices, and makes schools more dependent than ever on local property taxes." Under the bill, which takes effect in 1975, some school dis- tricts could receive up to three times as much money as others, depending on the local property tax base, Eckstein says. Ecksteincalls fortcampaign financing totally at the public's expense and argues, "We need full disclosure of campaign con- tributions, but we also need lim- its on how much an individual can contribute or a campaign can spend." choice, and candidates would redeem the coupons for money. Bursley agrees that campaign reform is necessary but has failed to offer any solid pro- posals. In the past, he has voted against contribution limits, re- quired disclosure of groups' contributions, and gift ceilings.

Chlorinated water may cause cancer WASHINGTON (Reuter)-A government official said yes- 1 terday there was cause for concern but not alarm over a discovery that chlorination of water can create suspected cancer-causing agents. James McDermott, director of the Division of Water Supplyt in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), confirmed a, report by the Nationals Broadcasting Company (NBC) that EPA, scientists had found carcinogenic agents in chlorinated drinking water in Cincinnati last summer. AS A RESULT of the findings, McDermott said in an inter-K view, the federal agency was trying to determine whether the present chlorination process was dangerous, whether the chlorine itself could cause cancer and, if so, how the cancer-producing agents could be eliminated.t McDermott said EPA scientists were certain chlorine was the cause of the carcinogens (cancer-producing agents) becauset of its interaction with residual organisms in the water.t "But we're convinced chlorinated water is still safe to drink" McDermott said. "It was safe yesterday and it's stillf safe today." NBC, IN ITS report, had said that a memorandum circu- lated within the EPA warned agency employes to prepare for a considerable uproar on the part of the public, water utilitiesl and states with regard to the demonstration of known carcino- gens in public water systems." An estimated 140 million Americans drink water that has been purified with chlorine. Most of the remaining 60 millioni drink unchlorinated water from various sources.C (Continued from Page 1) other tight battle with the 43- year old Berkley lawyer. The imnact of the Damman affair. which exploded with four days left in the campaign, also disrupted Levin's campaign plans. He canceled two apneanrances last night to consult aides and nartv leaders and to await word of developments in Lansing. THE ALLEGATIONS against Damman stem from reports of, his condlwt as a Trov zoning official and city coinilman. The Detroit Free Press said nammpan and several partners iea land investment firm pur- chased land secretly while Dam- man was helning to draw up a master development plan for Troy. It also said real estate and land develonment figures were chief contrib-tors to Damman's sticessf"l 1970 camnaign for a seat in the state legislature. AS THE ISSUE er'nted, Dam- man went into seclusion, can- celed all his own campaign nlans and denied he was guilty of any unethicalor illegal con- du-,t while in office in Troy. He also said he could explain every allegation. "I am not bitter," Damman said. "I am disappointed and disillusioned." L E V I N CHALLENGED Milliken to sneak out publicly on the Damman affair, then after Milliken began consulta- tions in Lansing, he said: "Milliken has the responsibil- ity to find out all of the facts and if the answer is yes on the allegations, Damman has to go." Levin aides said the Damman issue has hurt Milliken. SO DID GOP figures, but they said there appeared no easy way out for Milliken. There were some suggestions the go- ernor would force Damman off the ticket, but other observers said this would cause even more problems. Milliken was in Saginaw when he abruptly interrupted a tour to return to the capital. "The governor will take some kind of action within the next 24 hours," an aide said. AS TENSION grew through- out the day and night, Milliken remained huddled with aides and GOP leaders. The announcement that Milli- ken would wait another day be- fore deciding his next move came at 10:45 p.m. disag",ree on bias clause tract. Just because we're argu- ing doesn't mean we want dis- crimination." There was also disagreement over the University demand that union members refrain from striking, picketing, and demon- strating against the University. The GEO objected strongly to the clause, saying that it, would limit their right to free speech. GEO NEGOTIATOR M a rk Ferrenz claimed the clause "would work to categorically prevent any criticism of the University while the contrazt was in effect." "Our tendency is to think that's p r o b a b 1 y unconstitu- tional," 'GEO bargainer Zena Zumeta said. The University disagreed. "I don't think it's unconstitutional. The first amendment right of free speech is not without lim- it," said University attorney William Lemmer. "THIS IS the price you pay, the responsibility your union has to agree to, for the rights you get in other parts of the con- tract," he continued. The two sides did reach ac- cord on several minor fringe benefit items, including gradu- ate employes' library privileges and workers' right to examine the University's personnel files.
