The "we're dead," refers supposedly to Democratic opponent Perry Bullard. The flyer asks "Are you ready for two more years of: Deep Throat-shown on public property; Dope smoking-with young girls on the Diag; Irresponsible and ineffective representation; Your present state rep.-Perry Bullard; Or have you had enough?" Bullard called the message "bizarre". Fo jtik mirage? At about 0 p.m. yesterday, A Daily reporter spotted a man tearing down a poster of Human Rights Party county commissioner candidate Diane Hall at the corner of Thayer and Huron. The man was a passenger in a yellow Volkswagen, license number FVZ-482, whose driver closely resembled County Commissioner Kathy Fojtik (D-Ann Arbor), now running for re-election against Hall. Question- ed about the incident last night, Fojtik claimed that she had been campaigning in the Seventh, Miller and Liberty street area and said that the incident must have been a "mirage." A yellow Volkswagen, license number FVZ-482, however, was later seen parked in the garage at Fojtik's Ann Street ad- dress. Happenings. . .

Big maritime labor unions have given another $141,000 in recent weeks to members of Congress who supported a bill that meant thousands of jobs for American seamen at the price of higher oil and gasoline prices for landlubbers. Since the beginning of the year,, the unions have given more than $500 000 to 179 members of Congress who backed a bill, requiring a 25 per cent increase in the amount of oil carried on U.S. flagships. One Congressman who received a donation from the unions, Rep. Jonathan Bingham (D-N.Y.) returned a $1,000 contribution. "It smacked too much of a payoff," he said. On the inside . . .

By GORDON ATCHESON U.S. Congressman M a r v i n Esch (R-Ann Arbor) has im- properly made it appear as if Common Cause, a national non- p a r t i s a n organization which never supports political candi- dates, has endorsed his re-elec- tion, a spokesman for the group told The Daily yesterday. In a sharply-worded telegram sent to Esch last night, Common Cause Vice President David Cohen asked the Congressman to refrain from further use of an advertisement that "clearly, fosters the false impression that Common Cause does support your candidacy." THE PAID political adver- tisement in question is a repro- duction of a laudatory letter on the group's stationery to Common Cause chastises Congressman Esch from the area Common Cause co-ordinator John Hath- away, a longtime Republican. The letter was never author- ized by Common Cause, accord- ing to Tom Belford, the or- ganization's Washington, D.C., spokesman. Hathaway overstepped his du- ties and exercised "bad judg- ment" in writing the letter, Bel- ford said. BATTLING for his fifth con- secutive term in the House of Representatives, Esch is op- posed in next Tuesday's general election by D e m o c r a t John Reuther and Phil Carroll of the Human Rights Party. In a statement released late last night, R e u t h e r called the Congressman's advertise- ment "another all too typical and deceptive 'maneuver by Mr. Esch . . . the deception, eva- sion, and old time politics of Mr. Esch have gone on too long and the voters will render him inoperative next Tuesday." Hathaway could not be reach- ed for comment concerning the letter. IN ADDITION to Esch, George Thorne, treasurer of his. c a m p a i g n committee which placed the advertisement in Fri- day's Daily, and Reuther re- ceived copies of the telegram last night. Thorne said he knew nothing about the advertisement because he handles only financial mat- ters for the re-election cam- paign and has no direct involve- ment in compiling press mate- rials. Cohen told Esch that "the let- ter was improperly sent by Mr. Hathaway and improperly used by your campaign committee." THE LETTER appears in the advertisement under the large headline: "C o m m o n Cause Says: 'A Job Well Done Con- gressman Esch.' " Below the letter in small type is the fol- lowing disclaimer: "The Mar- vin Esch Campaign Committee in no way intends to indicate that this letter constitutes an endorsement since C o m m o n Cause cannot endorse candi- dates for public office." Cohen stated that the dis- claimer "would in no way change voter perceptions in the heat of the partisan campaign." The letter, addressed to Esch at his Washington office and dated Oct. 21 of this year, praises him for supporting Com- mon Cause sponsored legislation on campaign finance reform. CONGRESS considered that measure in late July and early August. Generally C o m m o n Cause sends brief letters of thanks to congressmen backing its measures at the time they are undertaken by the legis- lature. But Hathaway's letter "far exceeded simple recognition of a favorable vote," according to Cohen. He also charged that sending the letter shortly before the election and its subsequent pub- lication in a political advertise- ment clearly aids Esch's can- didacy "through an inappropri- ate use of the Common Cause name."

It is doubtful, however, that Ufer would be able to get Bo Schembechler to agree. For the third straight time, the Maize and Blue barely survived a scare on the road. AFTER SPOTTING Michigan a 14-0 halftime lead, Lee Corso's Hoosiers mounted an 80-yard, 12-play drive scoring drive. Indiana capped the march with a five-yard touchdown strike from quarter- back Terry Jones to split end Trent Smock early in the fourth quarter. The Hoosiers proceeded to gamble on an onside kick. But Frank Stavroff booted the ball too hard, and it hit the turf on the Michigan 40. Luck was with the Hoosiers, however, as Jim Smith bobbled the ball and kept retreating until the Indianians nailed him on- the 19. The Wolverines marched down the field, with the interior of- fensive line opening big holes for Chuck Heater, and Gordon Bell slipping around the right side for nine. THE HOOSIER defense event- ually stiffened, and on fourth and two at the Indiana 28, Sch- embechler elected to go for a field goal. With 9:12 left to play three points would have just about sewed up the contest, but Mike Lantry's 42-yard at- tempt sailed wide to the left. A 15-yard Jones-to-Smock pass was all the Hoosiers could net on the ensuing possession. Fol- lowing the punt, Michigan again attempted to mount one of its patented ball control drives. The Indiana defense had other ideas. "We felt that if we rested our defense, we would do well," said Corso. "We used 14 defen- sive linemen out there." AS A RESULT of this state- gem, the tired Michigan offen- sive linemen were not able to movewanybody out. The Wolver- ines were forced to punt, three plays later, and Indiana downed the kick on its own 19. Jones immediately hit Smock on another completion, this time for 18 yards. A flanker revers ; failed when Greg Morton nailed Keith Calvin for a loss of six. Courtney Snyder more than made up for that loss with a 15 yard dash on a delay, and Jones carried for a first down at the 39.

Leftists protesting U.S. med- dling in Italian politics are plan- ning demonstrations next week during Henry Kissinger's visit to Rome for the World Food Conference, but it was not known if yesterday's incidents were connected with his trip. KISSINGER is due here to- morrow from Belgrade and the following day will address the opening session of the 11-day conference, called to seek inter- national accord in the war on hunger. The Italian Communist party, largest Marxist organization in the West, scheduled demonstra- tions Tuesday in Rome, Milan and other cities. The Coin- Leftists raised charges of U.S. interference after Italy's cen- ter - left government collapsed one month ago. They alleged that U.S. Ambassador John Volpe-told politicians he favored early elections to clear the un- certain political picture. THE AMERICAN Embassy denied Volpe had made such a statement, but it failed to de- fuse the controversy. Photo by GORDON TUCKER.

Charges fly in court race By DAVID BURHENN No Perry Masons jump to their feet with shouted objec- tions and urgentrequests to "approach the bench" in Ann Arbor's staid 15th District Court. But there is an element of drama in the hard fought cam- paigns being waged by the four candidates for two districtcourt judgeships. GEORGE ALEXANDER and Shirley Burgoyne are vying for a newly created eight-year term as the third 15th District judge. Donald Koster is challenging in- cumbent judge Sandorf Elden for the other 15th District ju- dicial seat. ThehBurgoyne-Alexander race is perhaps the most bitter cam- paign being waged in the county this year. Charges have flown ReScott predicts Republican defeats HONG KONG (AP)-American voters are in a "punishing mood' over Watergate and will take it out on Republican candidates in Tuesday's mid-term elections, Sen. Hugh Scott predicted yes- terday. The Senate minority leader said American voters "have a Pontius Pilate attitude. They want to wash their hands of what they have done. "I LOOK with no optimism on Tuesday's election," the Penn- sylvania Republican told a Press Club luncheon. "I think the public is in a mood to be punishing. "As of today, 1974 is a bad year for Republicans. But 1976 will be a good year," he added. Because of the "lingering sting of Watergate," he continued, the Republicans are almost certain to fare badly despite the campaign efforts by President Ford. The President, Scott noted, w "hein verv careful not to campaign against any Democrats fast and heavy between the two sides, and the campaign centers on personalities rather than is- sues. Burgoyne supporters have charged that Alexander, a law- yer only since 1968, lacks the necessary experience to try cases. BURGOYNE, who was de- clared "unqualified" to be a judge by vote of the Washtenaw County Bar Association, has faced charges that she lacked the mental stability to perform her judicial duties. Both have vigorously denied the accusations and charges. Alexander, who was appointed as the first county Public De- fender in 1971, has said that the large felony caseload he has handled has given him much trial experience. Burgoyne has called the nega- tive bar association vote a move by "a power clique" of local attorneys to oppose her because she was not part of the "legal establishment," and also be- cause she was a woman. BURGOYNE WAS also resent- ful over stories that she had "visions" and other "crazy, crazy, off-the-wall stuff." "Everything that has been said behind my back," Bur- goyne claimed, "is a lie, and P\ -PT' thlno3 t'.t v cniri in judge, he would "utilize the community's resources" to pro- vide sentencing alternatives to prison. The Public Defender said that such alternatives as drug help communities and vo- cational rehabilitation programs should be geared to the indi- vidual offender. Burgoyne also favors court reform with special emphasis on the jammed court docket. "It would make me feel guilty to sit on the bench with a hundred people waiting for their trials to come up," said Bur- See CHARGES, Page 2 PREFERENTIAL VOTING: Issue sparks debate By DAVID WHITING Of the t h r e e local ballot proposals, only preferential vot- ing for mayor, which faces city voters exclusively, has inspired active campaigning and heated controversy. Preferential voting, a Human Rights Party-initiated proposal which calls for a city charter amendment, is applicable only to mayoral races. If passed Tuesday, it would be imple- mented in time for April's elec- tinnc when Rennblican Manvr ond choice ballot for mayoral candidates. In the event no can- didate garners a majority of first place votes, the candidate receiving the lowest number of first-choice votes is dropped. The votes for the eliminated candidate are then redistributed among the remaining mayoral contestants on the basis of the second choice votes. THE PROCESS continues un- til one hopeful receives a clear- rut maiority of hl11ts. "splitting the vote" for liberal candidates, thereby, they claim, electing Republicans. IN THE LAST mayoral race, for example, GOP hopeful Ste- phenson won with only 48 per cent of the vote. Thirty-four per cent went to Democratic candi- date Franz Mogdis, and 18 per cent-which could have been de- cisive for a liberal candidate- went to HRP candidate Bea Kaimowitz.
