month after the decision to
raise the milk support prices, he
was talking with Connally.
"HE TOLD me 'I helped in
the price support matter the
dairy people raised a lot of
money . . . why don't they
raise money for me."'
Jacobsen said he got the
$10,000 from Bob. Lilly, a milk
producer official and on May 14
delivered $5,000 to Connally per-
sonally in the Secretary of
Treasury's office and that Con-
nally said, "Thank you very
much."
"I did say there's more where
this came from," Jacobsen re-
lated.
THE SECOND payment, Jac-
obsen said, was made on Sept.
2, again in the Secretary's of-
fice.
"Why did you split it up?"
the prosecutor asked, referring
to the two payments.
"To get more credit for it,"
said Jacobsen.
CONNALLY'S defense is that
he was offered the money for
his use for congressional cam-
paign committees' but that he
did not accept it. His lawyer,
Edward Bennett Williams, said
in his opening statement that
Jacobsen embezzled the money
which he got from AMPI.
Another witness, Mrs. Rose
Cicala, one of Connally's secre-
taries when he was in the Cabi-
net, identified logs of his meet-
ings in 1971. They showed that
Connally met with Jacobsen on
the days that the government
alleges that Connally took the
payoffs.

Charter Amendment "A" could
cause problems for renters.
You can be quite certain of that.
it would create a rent control
board of 5 "fireproof" individ-
uals who's word would be law.
According to the Amendment this
board could decide what is
"reasonable" in many situations.
Reasonable to whom?
To themselves. That's whom.
There is even a passage in the
amendment that forbids you to
appeal their decisions to a
court of law.
The Amendment would give the
board unlimited blank check
access to funds from the City
of Ann Arbor.
Can you believe it?
Well, it's all right there in
the thousands of words of Char-
ter Amendment "A" - along
with a provision that even
makesyou a "Landlord" under
certain conditions.
Note this: if you wanted to
sublet your apartment- even
for just a few months-you'd
have to pay a fee to the board
and wait for the board to figure
how much rent you can charge.
(Under the bill, there are just
5 people to review all the rents
for 17,000 rental units in
Ann Arbor. Your "wait" might
last for several weeks.)
Clearly, Charter Amendment "A"
would create more problems than
it would solve. It would even
create a shortage of apartments
just as rent control has done
in Cambridge, Mass., Boston and
any other city where it has
been tried.
It isn't right for renters in
