Crime rise
While the ,rest of the nation was enjoying a one
per cent decrease in crime, the city of Ann Arbor exper-
ienced a six per cent jump in crime according to re-
cently released FBI statistics. Compiled for the first
six months of this year, the figures show a particularly
dramatic rise in number of assaults - nearly 100 per
cent above a comparable period last year. Police Chief
Walter Krasny said he was not surprised by the situation
and suggested that additional personnel would be need-
ed to stem the rise in crine.

Ietter than Halley /
Perhaps the most "far out" spectacle of the century
will be on display later this year when a comet 50 times
more brilliant than Halley's passes over head. That's the
word from 'U' astronomy Prof. Freemand Miller, who
informs us that 'U' astronomers will be observing the
comet locally and in Cerro Tololo, Chile - site of the
University's wide-field Schmidt telescope. The comet
should be visible from November through February, with
its peak coming right around Christmas.

A Correction
In yesterday's story on SGC's proposed regulations
governing the finances of student organizations, we
quoted Vice-President for Student Services Henry John-
son as saying he was "completely opposed" to the SGC
guidelines. In fact, Johnson is only opposed to the pro-
vision of the plan calling for a twice-annual audit of fin-
ances. He feels such rules would not be sufficiently
stringent to allow the money to be adequately controlled.

The newspaper industry received some more bad
news yesterday when two Canadian paper companies an-
nounced price increases. Three other companies re-
mained strikebound. The newsprint shortage has forced
newspapers across the country to cut back on both size
and subscription. It is also responsible for the six-page

ITT explosibn
A bomb blew out windows and splintered furniture
in the mid-Manhattan offices of the International Tele-
phone and Telegraph Corp. yesterday just several hours
after a small bomb exploded in the company's offices in
Rome. An anonymous caller to the New York Post said
the "Weather Underground" was responsible. The ex-
plosion come two-and-a-half weeks after a military coup
deposed the Marxist regime of President Salvador Al-
lende in Chile. ITT has in the past been linked to at-
tempts aimed at deposing the Allende government.
Reverse bread line
The Soviet Union, which made history last year with
its record grain purchase from the United States, an-
nounced yesterday it is lending India two million tons
of grain. Soviet party boss Leonid Brezhnev reportedly
told India's Prime Minister Indira Ghandi that the loan
was made because of Moscow's "aspirations to develop
friendly Soviet-India relations." Meanwhile, in this
country, food proices have risen dramatically as a re-
sult of a shortage of grain with which to feed live-
stock.-

Heavy traffic
When is it better to admit you're a prostitute than
an ordinary housewife? Obviously when there's a chance
to make a buck. Arid that's exactly what a woman knowni
as R.Z. did in a Milan, Italy, courtroom yesterday. The
mystery woman demanded $69,000 in damages from a
traffic accident claim, arguing that she would have
earned such an income as a prostitute in the 29 months
she was "out of action." The court decided otherwise,
however, and paid a mere $47,000.

tuition
protest
By CINDY HILL
About 100 students demonstrated
against the tuition increase yester-
day with a noon protest in the LSA
Bldg.
The demonstration, which began
with chanting, marching, .singing
and placard - carrying, disrupted
the tuition payment lines for half
an hour as demonstrating students
lined un to present letters .of Pro-
test 'to the cashiers instead of
money.
The protest which also hit the
failure of the University to meet
the 1970 Black Action Movement
demands, new state residencv cri-
teria and alleged insufficient finan-
cial aid, was hampered by a purely
non-university source--rain.
As one Student Action Commit-
tee (SAC) organizer called "Don't
pay the hike-strike!" to disinter-
ested students on their way to
classes, two other members squab-
bled about moving the demonstra-
tion inside.
"Go to the Diag, scream a little
bit," said another student, urging
a SAC comrade to collect more stu-
dents for the protest.
But the hoopla had already be-

WASHINGTON UA) - A tentative peace agreement to end
the bitter organizing feud between the Teamsters and Cesar
Chavez' United Farm Workers was announced yesterday, with
the Teamsters agreeing to allow the UFW jurisdiction over ag-
ricultural workers.
"The Teamsters are getting out of the fields, so we and
the growers can fight it out," Chavez declared.

CADILLAC - Rainbow People's
Party (RPP) members Pun Pla-
mondon and Craig Blazier were
sentenced to probation here yes-
terday in the wake of their convic-
tions last month on the charge of
extortion.
District Court Judge William
Peterson sentenced Plamondon to
five years probation and ordered
him to pay $1,500 in court costs.
Blazier drew two years probation
and a $600 fine.

held details until their lawyers
examined the language. A detailed
announcement is expected early
next week.
It was understood, however, that
Chavez and the rival Teamsters
had agreed on a four-point docu-
ment setting forth the jurisdictional
rights of the two unions.
The Teamsters, it was learned,
agreed to give up contracts signed
this year with California grape
growers and leave eventual repre-
sentation of all field hands to the
UFW. Jurisdiction of about all
other workers in the food industry,
such as in the packinghouses, can-
neries and warehouses, would re-
main with the Teamsters.
IF SUCCESSFUL, the peace pact
would end the long, bitter and often
violent struggle between Chavez's
AFL-CIO. affiliated union and the
Teamsters, the nation's biggest and
richest union.
But ittdoes not necessarily mean
an end to labor strife in the grape
and lettuce fields.
"We and the growers can fight
it out," Chavez told a gathering of
200 supporters in San Bernardino,
Calif.
"I DON'T EXPECT the growers
to automatically give up the
Teamsters," he said. But he added
that the agreement would make it
easier for the UFW to organize the
farm workers.
"Until 24 hours ago we were
fighting two giants, but now we're
only fighting one,"
The agreement was forged in
three days of negotiations conclud-
ed Thursday in Washington and in-
volved Chavez and top AFL-CIO
officials. Representing the Team.
sters was Einar Mohn, director ofj
the union's Western Conference.
4 IT APPEARS to represent a ma-
jor victory for Chavez whose un-
ion was threatened with extinction
after the Teamsters moved -in last
spring and began signing contracts
with growers who previously held ;
pacts with the UFW.
CHAVEZ SAID the Teamsters;
backed off because the issue was
"getting to be a big 'headache.
There was so much pressure..
they had to call it quits," he said.
Asked what was in it for the 1

Teamsters agree to "renounce and
unilaterally rescind" all contracts
signed with table grape and wine !
grape growers and with most other
row crop growers, including two
major lettuce growers, Mel Fin-l
nerman and the D'Arrigo Brothers.
THE TEAMSTERS will tempor-
arily retain contracts they 'signed
in July 1970 with other Salinas Val-i
ley lettuce growers, the newspap-
er said. But when those recently
renewed contracts expire in July c
1975, the Teamsters agree not to'
renew them.

foot injury incurred in an auto
accidentuWednesday night, Blazier
called the penalties "pretty stiff."
Plamondon would only say, "I've
just got to let this thing settle.".
PLAMONDON and Blazier were
convicted of extortion for threaten-
ing a drug dealer with public ex-
posure in order to collect a $500
debt incurred last January in a
marijuana transaction.-
The drug dealer, Uwe Wagner,
charged that the two threatened
him with a knife and gun, and said
they would expose him in the
pages of the RPP-affiliated Ann
Arbor Sun as a rip-off dealer of
hard drugs.
During the trial Wagner's testi-
mony was contradicted by 17-year-
old' Bruce Peterson, who testified
that he had seensneither a knife or
a gun during the incident, at which
he had been present.
BECAUSE OF the confilcting ac-
counts, Judge Peterson dismissed
charges of extortion by threat of
violence, leaving the charge of ex-
tortion by public exposure.

to thwart
grand jury
BALTIMORE (P) - Attorneys
for Spiro Agnew went to court
yesterday to try to stop a federal
grand jury from investigating the
Vice-President in connection with
allegations of political corruption.
The Justice Department, mean-
while, adamantly denied Agnew's
allegations of news leaks intended
to damage him and vowed to pur-
sue its investigation of charges
against him.
ATTORNEY Stanley Mortonson
filed a motion in U.S. District
court seeking a protective order
to prevent anyone from presenting
to the grand jury any testimony,
documents or other material aimed
at indictment of Agnew so long as
he is Vice-President.
It also sought to prohibit the
grand jury from issuing any in-
dictmentypresentment orother
charge pertaining to the Vice-
President and order any discussion
of the evidence halted.
"The Constitution forbids that the
vice president be indicated or tried
in any criminal court," the motion
said. "In consequence, any in-
vestigation by the grand jury con-
cerning the applicant's activities
will be in excess of the grand

Court upholds acquittals
in bookstore sit-in
case
By STEPHEN SELBST
The State Supreme Court yester-
day upheld an appeals court deci-
sion that exonerated more than 60
University students convicted for
participating in the 1969 bookstore
sit-in.
The court refused to hear a state
appeal to uphold therdistrict court
convictions and reverse the appel-
late court, ruling that the state had
presented insufficient grounds to
warrant such an action.
One hundred and seven students
were arrested on Sept. 26, 1969,
after they occupied the LSA Bldg.
for 12 hours, seeking to negotiate
with the University for a student-
run discount bookstore. The con-
troversy. resulted in the creation of
the University Cellar.
THE STATE high court decision
ended a four-year battle for the
approximately 65 persons convict-
ed of trespassing.
Fewer than 12 students served
time in jail, ranging up to a-week
in 'duration.
The action, meanwhile, clears
the way for convicted students to
file counter-suits against the Uni-
versity and also against the state,
if they wish.
ACCORDING TO local attorney
Don Koster, who defended many
of the students, "There's no ques-
