Damage deposits Lawyers at the city's Legal Aid chapter warn that student tenants face a high chance of get- ting bilked on their damage deposits at this time of year. In response to a barrage of requests, Legal Aid is holding a one-hour seminar on "How to Get More of Your Damage Deposit Back."

Virtually nothing is happening today . . . but to- morrow things start to pick up. There's a mass meeting for the Men's Glee Club at 7:30 p.m. to- morrow night in the Michigan Union and AFSCME invites all University clericals to a pre-election open house tomorrow from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Cam- pus Inn's Huron Room. CIA sabotage The Washington Post reported this morning that it had learned that CIA Director William Colby had told a congressional subcommittee that his agency targeted $11 million in covert action funds against the Allende government in Chile. The New York Times carried a similar story in its Sunday editions reporting the figure at $8 million. Colby reportedly made his statement to the House Armed Services Special Subcommittee on Intelligence in secret testimony last April. Both papers said the money was used to "destabilize" the Marxist gov- ernment of Salvador Allende and bring about its downfall. Carmen strikes Hurricane Carmen battered Louisiana's low lying coast last night, whipping up high tide with winds that gusted to 180 miles an hour near the center. A late evening weather bureau bulletin said Car- men's eye was 90 miles south-southwest of New Orleans, with hurricane winds screaming over Grand Isle and deserted marshes beside the sea. National Guard spokespersons said 11,050 guards- men would be activated at dawn today to assist in cleaning up the damage sure to be left behind by the onslaught of the massive storm center. Doctors bill Future medical school graduates would be re- quired to spend two years in areas where there are doctor shortages under a bill approved by a Senate committee. The bill also would compel doc- tors to get new licenses every six years, limit the number of specialists and limit the number of foreign doctors practicing in the country.nThe Sen- ate Labor and Public Welfare Committee passed the bill by a 10 to five vote on yesterday and sent the bill to the Senate floor where action is ex- pected before the end of the month. Federal funds account for half of a typical medical school bud- get, and the bill's goals would be achieved by with- holding funds unless students agree to practice in areas where there are doctor shortages. Typic- ally, these areas include inner-city slums and rural locales. French connection The French Connection, which for a time seemed to vanish from the list of plagues-on-America, may be reassembling for another crack at the U. S. heroin market. Turkey's lifting of its three-year-old ban on the production of opium poppies, the raw material traditionally transformed in the south of France into heroin, has created signs that some of the fine old hands of narcotics chemistry are trying to revitalize their trade. "We are betting that a lot of that Turkish morphine base is going to get through," said Paul Knight, Paris-based European director for the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration. "We have every indication that the bad guys are betting exactly the same way." On the inside.. . . , . read all about love in Ann Arbor in today's Sunday Magazine.

Allison turns on the blues By STEPHEN HERSH Special To The Daily WINDSOR - W h e n Luther Allison stepped up to the mike last night and asked 4,000 de- votees at the "Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival in Exile" whether they were "ready for the blues," not even the dis- appointing c a n c e 11l a t i o n of Hound Dog Taylor could dam- pen a thundering "yeah." They weren't going to hear Hound Dog because, according to festival kingpin Peter An- drews, a slow gate had made it impossible to pay the blues artist. RAINBOW Multi-Media, the festival's promoters, had expect- ed three times as many fans to gather at St. Clair College's Griffin Hollow amphitheatre. Low ticket sales convinced them that they could not afford to pay Taylor, and his set was eliminated. See SUPERSTAR, Page 2 Ford rejects loosening of fiscal reins WASHINGTON (M - President Ford has decided against any quick public move to pressure the Federal Reserve Board to relax its tight money policy, sources reported yesterday. Instead, the sources said Ford was sticking with his plan to move deliberately in molding a package of anti- inflation proposals. THAT PACKAGE plan probably won't be completed for at least amonth, and perhaps not until late in the year, one White House adviser indicated. The disclosures came after Ford revealed in a Philadelphia speech Friday night that he is charting a 22-month battle plan for what he called his "all-out war against inflation." Daily Photo by KEN FINK LUTHER ALLISON gets carried away by his own brand of the blues at last night's installment of the three-day "Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival in Exile" in Windsor, Ontario. Low ticket sales forced the cancellation of Hound Dog Taylor's set. Portugal signs agreement to fre Mozambique, cease colonial war "We are going after, one and all, Democrats, Republicans and Independents, the public enemy of inflation in 1974 and we will lick him before July 4, 1976," Ford told a dinner meet- ing commemmorating the 200th anniversary of the First Conti- nental Congress. ONE AIDE suggested yester- day that Ford had picked the date partly for rhetorical and symbolic purposes - it's the 1 200th anniversary of America's ./ birth. But Senate Democratic Lead- er Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), said yesterday "We can't af- ford to wait that long." One administration s o u r c e acknowledged that Ford's time table is intended to ease the d pressure for prompt anti-infla- e-tion action. THE PRESIDENT believes the country's economic prob- lems are "too serious for doing a- something that looks good in t- the public mind but could real- ir ly have bad long-range effects," d said one official close to Ford. la He is against any public re- lationsstinkering operation just d for the sake of saying, 'We've d done something,"' this adviser said. See FORD, Page 2 LUSAKA, Zambia (/P) - Portugal and the Mozambique guerrillas signed an agreement yesterday designed to end almost five cen- turies of foreign rule in the eastern Africa territory and put a stop to 10 years of bloody colonial war. Blacks in Lourenco Marques, the Mozambique capital, re- acted with jubilation, rallying in the city's sports stadium and waving the flag of Frelimo, the Mozambique Liberation Front. BUT WHITE settlers in the territory responded quickly and angrily to the agreement. They clashed with Frelimo sympathizers in the capital, and Lisbon radio reported that they had taken over the city's airport and its main radio station and were broadcasting proclamations pledging to keep Mozambique from Frelimo. The agreement called for a cease-fire in the guerrilla war and a transitional government headed by a Frelimo nominee to run Mozambique until independence early next summer. In Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, officials said the revolt will "make no difference" in implementation of pendence agreement. white-le the inde THE UPRISING was reported led by a clandestine organiza tion known as "The Dragons of Death," which has been distribu ing leaflets promising to strike at "Frelimo murderers" and the supporters. The group is made up of former paratroopers an commandos who fought against Frelimo in the 10-year guerrill war in Mozambique. The radio station was broadcasting martial music, interrupte periodically by calls to police, army, navy and air force pe sonnel to report immediately to barracks. See PORTUGAL, Page 2 Teachers propose 2-ear contract By DAVID BURHENN A new twist entered the ne- gotiations to end Ann Arbor's school strike yesterday when teacher representatives propos- ed a two-year contract to school board bargainers. In the past, single year pacts have been the rule, and until yesterday, both sides in the five- day old walkout had been ne- gotiating on a one-year basis. TALKS ADJOURNED at 11 p.m. yesterday following a day of meetings. According to union spokeswoman Anne Harrell, bargainers began initial explor- ation of a two-year agreement. Both sides however, were de- scribed as "still substantially apart on both years." The talks resume this afternoon at Huron High School. Teacher union president Dan- iel Burroughs outlined the as- sociation's proposal for a two- year contract in a statement released last night. IN IT,, Burroughs said that teachers would ask for: -smaller elementary class size; -formation of a committee to study an increase in the board subsidy of the Ann Arbor Edu- cation Association (AAEA), the teachers' union; -increases in special services to students, such as social work- er coverage and speech thera- py; and - osto living wage increases Ethnic fair goers sample rich and del*cious cuisines By SARA RIMER The downtown Main St. Promenade became a six-block long melting pot this weekend as 20 ethnic groups set up shop under striped cir- cus tents, Friday and yesterday. The fair featured booths displaying multi- ethnic handicrafts, books, jewelry, and most notably food along with folk music and dancing. FABIAN POLEYN, president of the Polish American Congress' local chapter, said the fair's purpose was to "show that America is the best of all good things." a pretty food-oriented fair," adding, "You've got to be hungry to enjoy it. I came here after dinner last night and had nothing to do." The food disappeared rapidly as people glad- lv paid up to 50 cents for thin pieces of baklava. The Italian club sold 500 pounds of sausage and Chicano students parted with 1,000 burritos (ground beef wrapped in floured tortillas) in one day, while a woman selling Ukrainian pop- py cake and apple squares seemed slightly out of breath from the brisk trade. "It goes faster than you can bake it. We were baking all night," she asserted.
