Suit filed
Ann Arbor resident Jane Schmiedeskamp has filed suit
to prevent .the Republican-controlled City Council from
redrawing ward boundaries established by its Dem-
ocratic-Human Rights controlled predecessor. Washte-
naw County Circuit Court last week referred considera-
tion of the existing plan to the council. Schmiedeskamp's
suit seeks to have the state Court of Appeals vacate the
Circuit Court's order: Representatives of tie city's
Democratic and Human Rights parties have anounced
plans for similar suits in order to prevent the GOP from
redrawing their plan. Schmiedeskamp was unavailable
for comment yesterday on, the reasons for filing her suit.

ST. CHARLES, Ill. (P) - Vice
President Spiro Agnew, criticizing
"t h e persecutorial atmosphere
hanging over the American political
system," said last night that "mor-
bid preoccupation with Watergate"
threatens the government's ability
to function."
"It is, therefore, an indirect ob-
struction of the will of the people,"
he said.
AGNEW made his comments in a
speech prepared for delivery before
a Kane ! County, Ill., Republican
rally thonoringsLeslie Arends, a
20-term congressman.
Agnew, whose Maryland guber-
natorial campaigns are under fed-
eral investigation, said he wouldn't
"minimize the lessons of Water-
gate." But he said "the abuses
resulting from the current climate
are of much more subtle and tragic
proportions."
"The preoccupation with any-
thing and everything related to
Watergate is the most obvious, but
not necessarily the most insidious
by-product of the affair," he said.
"Far more dangerous, in my opin-
ionis the persecutorial atmosphere
hanging over the American politi-
cal system."
THE VICE PRESIDENT, who
has generally kept himself remov-
ed from the Watergate case and
has rarely spoken strongly in pub-
lic about it, said:
"Our opponents will argue that
the strength. of our free system lies
in our willingness to wash our

standards to meet il crisis
WASHINGTON (IP)'- President
Nixon, asserting the United States
cannot be "at the mercy of" Mid-
east oil producers, announced an
eight-point energy development pro-
gram yesterday that includes eas-
ing of clean air standards.
Nixon, giving reporters a run-
down on results of a two-h o u r
co'nference he had with his energy
policy advisers, took a generally
optimistic view and specifically
ruled out talk of an energy crisis.
"SHORT-TERM we face a prob-
lem," said Nixon, citing probable
shortages of heating oil this win-
ter.
"But long-term, and this is the
important thing for us to remem-
ber, the prospects for adequate en-
ergy for the United States are ex-
cellent."
The nation's energy resources
can and will be fully developed,
he said, because "no industrial na-
tion must be in the position of be-
ing at the mercy of any other na-
tion by 'having its energy supply
suddenly cut off."
CITING the Arab oil-producing
countries which are threatening to
use petroleum as a club to force a
change in American policy toward
Israel, Nixon said: "We are go-
ing to do the very best we can
to work out problems with the
Mideastern countries.".
But again he added that steps
must be. taken to make certain
they are not in a position "where
they can cut off our oil."
.Nixon said the United States
"would prefer to continue to im-
port oil, petroleum products, from
the Mideast, from Venezuela, Can-
ada, from other countries," but is
"keenly aware "that some produc-
ers. might "take an unfrienlly at-
titude" and cut off supplies.

IN ADDITION, Nixon said the
administration will take adminis-

standards, develop the Elk Hills
naval oil reserve in California,
step up sharply the development of
nuclear power and finance research
on extracting vast coal reserves
"in a way that is not too destruz-

named Ray Charles.
By the time Charles and his
finely tailored show hit the stage,
police were estimating a record
crowd of more than 20,000 people.
And most of them went home
disappointed.
But in the afternoon, "One-
String Sam" was in his element.
One-String, a guy in a rumpled
when his set ended.
"If there's one thing I love more
than my music it's my women" he
announced in a voice that really

However, it didn't seem to be
Ray Charles' day either. For 10
hours, the overflowing crowd had
sat through a series of slower sets
anticipating a rousing finale from
Mr. Charles and the Raelettes. But
Charles spent interminable minutes
before his set hassling over a
broadcasting contract with WDET,
who had planned to put his show
on the air with the rest of the fes-
tival. He finally came out and
played some oldies -"I'm Busted,"
"Georgia On My Mind," and "I
Can't Stop Loving You"-but the
crowd was too tired to dance by
the time his band rocked into
"What I'd Say."
Slow tempo, wasn't the only
problem. Early in Charles' set,
Festival sponsor Peter Andrews of
the Rainbow Multi-Media Corpora-
tion, the festival's sponsors, ran
across the backstage area shout-
ing, "Who's fouling us up? There's
some kind of radio transmission
going out over the P.A. system
and screwing the music!"
Andrews' chaotic face reflected
a day of hassles: blues guitarist
Jimmy Reed arrived 40 minutes
late after his truck broke down on
the road from Chicago. Shortly af-
ter sunset, the festival's water,
system broke down and al-
most simultaneously, concession-
naires announced that there was

WASHINGTON (I)-Efforts to
keep the eight biggest oil com-
panies' 'economic empires intact
gained vigor this week with the.
distribution of a Treasury Depart-
ment report attacking the Federal
Trade Commission's antitrust ac-
tion.
The Treasury report, described
as the vanguard of more counter-
attacks to follow, characterized the
FTC study leading to the antitrust
complaint as inaccurate, biased,
misleading and dangerous.
THE FTC complained in July,
em the hasis of two-vear staff
would have to include splintering
of the various aspects of the oil
business: crude exploration and
production, transportation through
pipelines, refining, and marketing.
The Treasury report said, "Mis-
interpretations have caused the
FTC to incorrectly conclude that
the present shortage is a result of
sinister, anti-competitive actions on
the part of the major oil com-
panies. ....The shortage has been
caused by a variety of factors,
mostly governmental laws and poli-
cies."

Not more than fifteen minutes from Ann Ar-
