Sub captain lost The commanding officer of the nuclear attack sub- marine USS Plunger was washed overboard and lost near San Francisco Friday, the Navy reported yester- day. Cmdr. Alvin Wilderman, 36, was the object of an ifitensive Coast Guard search near the Golden Gate Bridge. "We have no details, only that he was lost over- board in heavy seas while en route to sea trials," said Lt. Donald Moses. Wilderman was wearing a lifejacket when he was swept away about six miles out of the Golden Gate Bridge. Wilderman, originally from Greens- ville, Ill., had been commanding officer of the Plunger for about two years. Hijacker foiled A "mentally unstable" youth yesterday tried to hi- jack a plane with 146 passengers as the craft was ap- proaching Geneva from Zurich, authorities said. The 18-year-old, armed with a revolver, released the pas- sengers once the plane landed and then was forced to surrender to police. He had demanded $50,000 for hungry Africans, a ticket to New York and a guarantee of safe conduct. Rebels score again Field reports said yesterday Cambodian insurgents overran another government outpost, inflicting heavy losses in men and equipment. The post was at Ror Yeap, 28 miles west of Phnom Penh. It was defended by two militia companies. The reports said the two com- panies resisted for two hours before withdrawing.

FILM, FICTION ADDED: WASHINGTON !P--Meeting for less than two hours, the Senate failed yesterday to break the impasse that has left the federal government debt $63 billion over the legal limit. Neither side in the dispute, resulting from a measure to provide public financing of presidential campaigns, push- ed very hard for action. The day's only vote was a 34-28 decision to adjourn. AS A RESULT, the Senate will convene at 10 a.m. today, the first time in 112 years it has scheduled and held a session on a Sunday. An hour later, it will vote on a moe to invoke cloture and force early action on the bill extending the federal debt ceiling, which con- tains the campaign financing meas- ure. Sen. James Allen (D-Ala.), the leader of the move against the campaign measure, suggested that the S'mnday session be, moved uip to 9 a.m. ordelayed until 1 p.m. "so members can go to worship services." SEN. WALTER MONDALE (D- Minn.), one of the leading pro- nonents ofrthe plan, replied that "if we were able to pass on to the President a measure that would clean up American politics, we would be doing the Lord's work." Democratic Leader Mike Mans- field asked unanimous consent to switch the Sunday session to 1 p.m., but a group of Republican senators poured out of the GOP cloakroom to object. That would have coincided with the kickoff for the Washington Red- skins-New York Giants professional football game at nearby Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, a GOP staff aide said. DURING THE SESSION, Allen, insisting he wasn't filibustering, said he wanted a vote on removing the campaign financing provisions from the debt bill. Supporters of the campaign provision, who blocked a similiar move 36 to 32 Friday night, were unsure they had enough votes, so they began talking. With the House in adjournment until tomorrow, the Senate by it- self can't do anything about the debt ceiling, which reverted at mid- night Friday to $400 billion, though the actual debt is currently $463 billion. Until a new bill is passed, the government can't sell bonds or con- duct other legal transactions. How- ever, there is about $4.5 billion in cash on hand to pay bonds and other debts until at least Thursday. SOME CONGRESSIONAL action is likely before any real financial crisis occurs. Even if cloture is voted today, the matter won't be settled. That will merely permit the package bill to be sent to a Senate-House confer- By STEPHEN SELBST A class action suit contending that landlords profit illegally by zollecting damage deposits while claiming damage as a tax loss has been filed in Washtenaw County Circuit Court by the county Legal Aid society in behalf of, two stu- dent tenants. Thesuit, which could have im- portant implications for city ten- ants, names the Bell Development Company as defendant and seeks to force the rental agency to pay all its past and present tenants any retroactive restitution for damage money collected that the court deems proper. AS WELL as attacking damage deposits, the suit, filed Friday for students Randy Rosen and David Hiller, deals with alleged abuses in damage charges. ence committee, where provisions for public financing of Senate and House campaigns are expected to be removed. House leaders have said they can pass it, if it contains only two provisions. One calls for manda- tory public financing of presiden- tial general elections. The other is a matching procedure for presiden- tial primaries that could give can- didates up to $7 billion in public funds. THE MONEY WOULD come out of the fund being created by the $1 checkoff plan, under which tax- payerstcan earmark $1 of their taxes to pay for campaigns. Many House members, however, are strongly opposed and House passage is far from assured. In addition, the White House has indicated President Nixon may veto the debt ceiling bill unless all cam- paign financing riders are re- moved. City tenants file suit over damage deposit Miller and Rosen rented an apart- ment from the Bell company last year. They left the apartment in the spring and the place was sub- sequently inspected by the rental agency. According to Legal Aid attorn- ey Jonathan Rose, the pair were charged for repairs that were nev- er made as well as for damage; that occurred beforethey took oc- cupancy. Rose also claims that Hiller and Rosen were overcharg- ed for the repairs that were done. THE SUIT seeks relief for the allegedly illegal charges. In addition, Rose's suit attempts to prohibit clauses in leases which threaten tenants with late f e e s and attorneys' costs. Landlord practices which allegedly prevent rent strikes and other tenant pro- test tactics are also attacked. New specialized English majors offered for fal By PAUL TERWILLIGER In an apparent attempt to boost sagging enrollment, the English de- partment has slated for next fall changes in its concentration pro- grams that will make it easier for English majors to specialize in their fields of interest. New major programs in film, fic- tion, and history and criticism of British literature have been ap- proved for next year. Additional concentrations in drama, creative writing, and American literature with a sub-program in Afro-Amer- ican literature are being consider- ea and may be ready in time for fall advance classification. THE NEW DIVISIONS will sup- plement the existing majors offer- ed by the department - the gen- eral English major, the hinors ma- jor, and the teaching program. Most of the new majors will re- tain the same graduation require- ments that are in effect now, but will make it simpler to concentrate in one area by offering alternative ways of filling requirements. Oth- ers, such as the film concentration, will have separate requirements. English Prof. Alan Howes, chair- Israel mourns death of David BenGurion TEL AVIV (4' - David Ben-Gur- ion, the tough little man who forg- ed Israel from a struggling Jew- ish settlement into a proud m,- dern state, died yesterday after a stroke. He was 87. Ben-Gurion was Israel's f i r s t premier and served in that post twice, running the burgeoning J: w- ish state like an Old Testament patriarch. More than any other leader, he helped mold it into hi; own image - dogged and rough- hewn. HIS NAME MEANT "Son of a Lion Cub." He chose it himself when he arrived in Palestine as a Polish immigrant in 1906 a r, d used it throughout his stormy w.A- reer. Ben-Gurion declared Isrel 'a state and for years his fiesry im- age, with his two tufts of white hair, represented Israel to t h e world the way Charles de Gaulle represented France and Winston Churchill represented Britain. Israel will honor Ben-Gurion with a state funeral. His body will lie in the parliament to give Israelis a chance to mark their respect for the man who brought Lhe 'r country to life with a declaration of its existence in the ua.e.rtain days of 1948. SINCE THAT DAY - May 14, 1948-Ben-Gurion has led Israelis through two wars with the Arabs, in 1948 and 1956, and provided them with an example of courage for the third in 1967. His death came as the Jewish state was still mourn- ing its dead from the fourth. Doctorspronounced him dead at 11:06 a.m. - 4:06 a.m. EST - at the Sheba Medical Center of Tel Hashomer Hospital outside Tel Aviv. His son, two daughters, fam- ily physician and medical staff were at his side. In a nearby hospital was his grandson Alon, who was being treated for leg wounds su~ered in the October war. BEN-GURION suffered a cere- bral hemorrhage Nov. 18 tha: left his right side paralyzed. He rallied briefly, then lapsed into a coma man of the department's curricii- lum committee, cites three rea- sons for restructuring of concen- trations. FIRST, HOWES SAYS, the de- partment feels increased special- ization will provide English con- centrators with a more saleable English background. Basic skills will still be gained in all divisions as before, and greater depth in one field will increase career oppor- tunity in that area, he claims- Secondly, the diversification iof major programs will dezrease the number of students in each area, Howes says, providing a more in- timate atmospheretand increased student-teacher contact. Finally, the program initiated last spring by new department chairman John Styan, will help students who want to specialize in a particular area but have found this difficult under the present sys- tem, Howes says. FOR STUDENTS who prefer a more general English background, however, the old system will still be around. The general English, honors, and teaching programs will be virtually unchanged.

That seems to be the feeling of a number of City Council members who devoted an entire working session last week to the study of the new canine crisis. Though not on a par with the energy or Watergate crises, the dog problem is nothing to shake a stick at. Ac- cording to a memo prepared by city official Ronald Lewis, the last year has seen a substantial increase in the city's dog-related woes. THESE TROUBLES include a 31.2 per cent increase in dog-at-large complaints, a 14 per cent rise in dog bite cases and a jump of 36 per cent in the number of impounded dogs. At the same timie, revenues generated from the sale of dog licenses and the payment of fines have not kept pace with the rising cost of prosecution. Currently, fines and license fees raise only 19 per cent of the $23,000 needed to maintain the city's so-called "K-9 patrol." Adding to the fiscal burden is the fact that the city must share some of its dog revenue with the county, since the two jointly operate the local impoundment facility. THOUGH NO specific motions came out of last week's session, a number of solutions for curbing the crisis were offered. They included increasing the level of fines, limiting the number of dogs a household can own and asking the county for a more equitable share of the revenues. 5M aANW A f_ :::.: '_ ''.:M . > ..: ::_ .... ::: . - mss:::.. .. <; ;;; ..:: s....r......._ .
