Pierce joins race
Dr. Edward Pierce, founder of the Summit Medical
Center in the city's Model Cities district, today announc-
ed his candidacy for Congress in this summer's Second
District Democratic primary. "As a doctor, most of
whose patients are working people, black and white, I
have the satisfaction of helping thousands of families
who have been shortchanged by our society," Pierce
said. "But I have begun to realize that these people-
and to a less dramatic degree all of us-suffer from the
deep-seated social ills of militarism, racism, sexism and
outworn economic philosophy. This realization has mo-
tivated me to run for Congress."
Another candidate,
Still another politician tossed his hat in to the ring
yesterday. Gerald Faye, a political science professor
at Oakland Community 'College, announced hi candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for Ann Arbor's state
senate seat. The post is currently occupied by Republi-
can Gilbert Bursley.

Mideast fighting
Israel and Syria battled for more than six hours across
the Golan Heights yesterday. Israel said a Syrian wo-
man was killed and two Israeli soldiers were wounded.
About 3,000 Syrian villagers have refused to evacuate
the wedge along the Golan captured by Israel in the
October war. On the Egyptian-Israeli front, United Na-
tions Emergency Forces were investigating alleged vio-
lations by Egypt of the two-month-old disengagement of
forces agreement. Israel charged that Cairo had moved
artillery pieces near the Suez Canal in violation of limits
set in the pact.
Solzhenitsyn family
Soviet officials have given exit visas to the family of
banished writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn. But the family
won't join him in Switzerland until his 6-month-old son
recovers from a respiratory infection. There was no
immediate reaction from Solzhenitsyn, a Nobel laureate,
who was expelled Feb. 13 after weeks of official attacks
on his book about Stalinist labor camps, "Gulag Archi-
pelago." He has been staying with his lawyer, Fritz
Heeb, in Zurich.
Queen surrounded
A massive security guard described by one policeman
as a "ring of steel" was thrown around Britain's royal
family yesterday in the wake of anattempt to kidnap
Princess Anne. But the closest any of them came to
danger was when an embarrassed Anne fell from her
horse and got spattered with mud -at Cirencester Park
where she competed in the Amberley horse trials. Para-
troopers, detectives and army marksmen surrounded
Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip, as
their plaxie landed in London after a state visit to Indo-
nesia.

CAMP DAVID, Md. R) - The White House indicated yes-
terday it will not consider surrendering 42 taped conversations .> aaM
sought for the House impeachment injury until the Judiciary
Committee defines its charges against President Nixon and
specifies "what materials are wanted and why."
Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler issued a formal statement
denying a, published report that the White House would turn
over tapes of the 42 presidential conversations next week.
"We continue to feel it is essential that the committee first define
the charges and be specific on what materials are wanted and why."
ZIEGLER ALSO assailed a report in the Los Angeles. Times, attri-
buted to congressional and other sources, that Nixon's taped conversa-
tion with former White House counsel John Dean clearly showed that
the President did not disapprove of the payment of hush money to
Watergate defendants.
The Times said yesterday that Nixon had decided to turn over the
tapes after Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott warned the Presi-
dent's Watergate attorney; James St. Clair, that the President "would
be impeached in the House" if he defied the House committee.
A spokesman for Scott late yesterday confirmed that the senator
had warned St. Clair of the possibility of impeachment. The three other
senators present at the meetings were identified as Wallace Bennett (R- cott
Utah), Robert Griffin (R-Mich.), and Bill Brock (R-Tenn.)
The spokesman said, however,
that Scott was not the source which N i in

WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Sec-
retary of State Henry Kissinger
left for Moscow last night armed
with renewed evidence of U. S.
good faith in negotiating with Rus-
sia - a resumption of U. S. cre-
dits.
The Nixon Administration, faced
with resistance in Congress to its
policy of granting economic aid to
the Soviet Union, resumed export-
import bank loans to Moscow Fri-
day.
The loans include $44 million that
will be used to help build an inter-
national trade center in Moscow
and the shipment of machinery for
an engine works, a canal and a
valve-making plant.
THE Congressional resistance
has largely been the result of Jew-
ish pressure on the administration
to force Russia to liberalize its
emigration policies.
Kissinger has been asked by
Jewish groups here to give Soviet
officials a list of 1,600 Soviet Jews
who have been repeatedly denied
emigration visas.
The list is similar to one Presi-
dent Nixon handed to Soviet Coin-

munist Party Leader Leonid Brezl
nev a year ago. Of about 1,600 pe
sons on that list, some 400 hav
since been allowed to leave, chie
ly for Israel.
Kissinger, who is Jewish, told th
Senate last month that the que
tion of Jewish emigration involve
personal anguish for him, but h
insisted that it should not be a
lowed to jeopardize the administrz
tion program of detente.
THE PRIMARY aim of the cu
rent trip is to seek what he dE
scribed as a conceptual breal
through in the Strategic Am
Limitation Talks (SALT) in Gen
va, which up to now have co:
sisted largely of an exchange
technical information.
Kissinger said the conceptu2
breakthrough means that the tw
sides should determine exact
what it is they want to achievei

agreement, signed nearly two yea
ago, limited offensive missiles ft

FIRST WARD RACE
A tale of three liberals

University admissions officer
Ramiro Gonzalez yesterday paint-
ed a grim picture of Chicano edu-
cational and employment oppor-
t-nities in an informal talk with
about 30 students at Mosher Jordan
Hall.
Gonzalez, yesterday's featured

Week, pointed out that 70 per cent

Gonzalez criticized the public
schools' counseling system, charg-
ing counselors with "tracking"
Chicano students into plumbing,
carpentry, and other vocational ca-
reers instead of encouraging them
to enter college.
This has led Gonzalez and other

Editor's Note: The following is the first offive ar-
ticles examining the issues and candidates in the April
1 City Council election.
The First Ward race has attracted three of the
most experienced, mostsliberal,and most articu.
late candidates of the entire City Council cam-
paign.
And of all the contests that will go to Ann
Arbor's voters on April 1, this one may be the
most competitive.
THE THREE candidates - Democrat Colleen
McGee, Human Rights Party (HRP) member Beth
Brunton, and Republican Joyce Hannaum-have
been roundly blasting each other in debates, cam-
paign literature, newspaper stories, and personal
door-to-door voter canvassing.
In the beginning of the campaign it was gener-
The First Ward is unique in that
all three of its candidates may be
described as liberal by traditonal
party standards.
OTHER IMPORTANT issues in the campaign in-
clude the city's budget crisis, proposals for a local
graduated income tax, and human resources pro-
grams-such as child care, health care, and trans-
portation.
All three candidates have called for expanded
human resource service, but on the economic
issues, views are mixed. Democrat McGee and
HRP candidate Brunton, an economics major at
the University, feel the city property levy should
be replaced with a graduated income tax, bur
