University of Michigan astronomer Hazel osh says that Leo, the Lion, will be visiting the February night skies and, in fact, has been given the faintly risque-sound- ing title of "new constellation of the month." Leo will be found climbing over the eastern horizon shortly after sunset. Secretary strike begins to bite The week-old secretaries' strike against the city public schools began to bite yesterday as militant stenographers threw up picket lines around Pioneer High school, stopping for a second day the system's school bus operations and hampering the delivery of food and supplies. Maintenance personnel also honored the picket lines, further crippling the normal operation of the school. No negotiations were held yesterday, after Mon- day's bargaining broke off with a tentative agreement for layoff procedures and the rejection of a 4.8 per cent wage offer from the board. The secretaries are demanding a 5.5 per cent increase. Further negotiations will be held today. The secretaries have re- ceived help on the picket lines from members of the local Human Rights Party. Prof. Cosand to return Prof. Joseph Cosand, who served as Deputy Commissioner for Higher Education in the U.S. Office of Education of the De- partment of Health Education and Welfare, is to return to the University after a year in the Nixon Administration. Cosand, whose resignation becomes effective Feb. 16, said he was leaving HEW for "personal and professional reasons." Local man dead at AFB Airman basic John Galloway, a 20-year-old graduate of Ann Arbor's Pioneer High School, has been found dead under "mys- terious circumstances" at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas. Galloway was a student at the 3795th Student Squdron of the school of health care sciences at Sheppard, in training as an air force dental technician. So far, the Air Force has released little information on Galloway's death, and his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Danny Galloway of Ann Arbor, confess to being quite baffled as to the circumstances of their son's death. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

At a party to celebrate his golden birthday, the controversial author announced his plans for "The Fifth Estate" a foundation he said would organize money and people to investigate the FBI and the CIA .Iwas heavy news for a crowd of almost 600 guests, who had paid $30 Monday night to hear "an announcement of national importance," drink and eat at New York's Four Seasons Restaurant, and gape at celebrities such as Bernardo Bertolucci, the director of "Last Tango in Paris," former Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy, D-Minn.; writers Peter Maas - "The Valachi Papers" - Jimmy Breslin, and of course, Norman Mailer. "Only Norman Mailer could give a party and charge admission," said author Arthur Schlesinger. Nature movie X-rated FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - School officials have banned an Audubon Society-sponsored film on the plight of endangered species because parents of two students complained about a scene showing wolves mating. "We decided against the wolf film be- cause of the mating sequence," said Clarence Noe, director of Health and Physical Education for the Broward public schools. Noe was a member of a committee of four school officials which reviewed the film, "The Death of A Legend," a 15-minute movie about the remaining wolves in North America, decimated for years by hunters. Booze note REDDING, Calif. - The thief who took a bottle of bourbon from the trailer home of miner Burt D. Sharp will die if he takes a sip out of it. Shasta County Sheriff's deputies said Mon- day that the bourbon was laced with a lethal dose of cyanide for experimental purposes. If the thief drinks it, Sheriff's Sgt. Chester Ashmun said, "we're not going to have any trouble finding him." On the inside . . . SAIGON (A)-The United States announced on yesterday the withdrawal of 2,000 more troops and completed plans to welcome the first homebound American prisoners expected to be released from North and South Vietnam by the weekend. Ambassador Michel Gauvin of Canada, chair- man of the International Commission for Control and Supervision, told newsmen the first American prisoners will be released about Saturday, some in Hanoi and others at probably two sites in the Saigon region. "I don't have any specific time or date but I know it's around the 10th for American prison- ers," Gauvin said. President Nixon's special advisor, Henry Kis- OWs to singer, is due in Hanoi for talks on Saturday, Feb. 10. In addition to Hanoi, Gauvin mentioned two potential release sites. One was An Loc, the devastated provincial capital 60 miles north of Saigon where one of the bloodiest battles of the war was fought last summer and where the last American died before the cease-fire took effect. The second was Phu Hoa, in Communist- controlled territory along the Saigon River cor- ridor north of the South Vietnamese capital. American officials said prisoners released in Hanoi will be flown directly to the big medical center at Clark Air Base in the Philippines, where a team of 60 doctors and 100 nurses are awaiting them. U.S. prisoners in South Vietnam will pass through medical stations at Saigon, Pleiku in .the central highlands and Da Nang in the northern region, depending on where they are released. Then they, too, will be transferred to Clark. Canadian members of international prisoner recovery teams that will accompany the captives from their last place of detention to freedom were placed on a two-hour alert. Shortly after the first group of Americans is released, Gauvin said, Vietnamese prisoners will be freed or exchanged in South Vietnam.

With the pullout of another 2,000 soldiers over the last four days, U.S. troop strength fell to 19,000, the lowest level since December 1964. All U.S. troops must be out of Vietnam and all prisoners freed by March 28 under terms of the peace agreement signed in Paris on Jan. 27. Kissinger told a news conference Jan. 24 that the United States expects American prisoners will be released at two-week intervals in roughly equal installments. North Vietnam has given the United States a list of 562 U.S. servicemen and 23 American civilians held in Communist cap- tivity in North and South Vietnam and Laos. Site agreed .on for international ceasef ire talks By AP and Reuters WASHINGTON-The United States and North Vietnam announced yesterday that a major international conference to guarantee the Vietnam peace would open in Paris Feb. 26. A few hours after the joint announcemment of the con- ference date and site, the White House disclosed that presi- dential assistant Henry Kissinger would stop in Laos Friday to check on prospects for a Laotian cease-fire before heading to Hanoi Saturday for four days of talks. Kissinger will leave Andrews Air Force Base, Md., at 10 a.m., this morning. He will go first to Bangkok to confer with Thai officials and with U. S. ambassadors from South Viet- nam, Cambodia and Laos. He will then head on to Vientiane for talks with Laotian officials, then to Hanoi and -- ----- Boston subway fire victim A subway rider, overcome by smoke from a train fire, is brought to the surface by rescuers last night in Boston.

MISMANAGEMENT CHARGED: e s Deficil By TERRY MARTIN Because of spending policies which some charge make it re- semble a "gigantic piggy-bank," Student Government C o u n c i I (SGC) appears overdrawn on its $70,000-plus budget. According to David Schaper, former SGC treasurer, the group "spent money they didn't have." A scrutiny of the Council- approved minutes since Septem- ber 1972 shows that allocations to outside groups have already ex- ceeded by over $1000 the money supposedly appropriated for such foreseen for sponsorship as well as reserve money in two other accounts. Schaper predicts that "if SGC continues at its present rate, it will be overspent by $5000 at the end of the year." The internal financial policies of SGC have been similarly con- troversial. Since September, SGC has: -Shelled out $5,385-nearly $2- per-vote-for an elaborate all- campus election that Schaper ad- mits was a "disaster"; -Spent at least $4,000 to pub- lish three issues of the Michigan Amazon tribe found BRASILIA (Reuters) - A Brazilian anthropologist has be- come the first white man to meet the fierce giant warriors of a legendary lost Amazon tribe. In a historic encounter, Claudio Villasboas met the giant In- dians of the Krenakores Tribe, some over six foot six inches tall, at his jungle camp at the Peixoto de Axeredo Rivers in northern Mato Grosso State. The warriors, feared by neighboring tribes for their use of clubs to crush the skulls of enemies in battle, handed over gifts of arrows and bows and were given steel axes, knives and kettles by Villasboas. News of the meeting reached the Indian Foundation head- quarters here Monday.

Based on amounts given in ap- proved minutes, Council spon- sorship allocations total $10,300 for such diverse organizations as Advocates for Medical Infor- mation and the Alpha Phi Omega Blood Bank. Of this, $3,500 is the budget for the Minority Affairs Committee, headed by SGC Vice budget for the Minority Affairs Lee Gill. Gillsays the committee has "about $1,300" left. A $3000 Sponsorship Fund is the only account actually set up for outside allocations, but SGC can also resort to a General Fund (for non-appropriated expendi- tures) and supposedly a Reserve Fund. The sum of all three ac- counts, however, is only $9,227, $1000 less than allocations to date. Both Council President Bill Jacobs and Glazer indicate it is not uncommon for SGC to operate in the red.

During winter '73 registration, their support, in the form of a student self-assessment of $1.50, dropped 16 per cent compared to those fees collected in the fall. This drop from 51 to 35 per cent when translated into dollars is a decrease of $7,000. The budget for the state-wide organization is $77,- 000 according to Ann Arbor PIR- GIM co-ordinator Bill Meyers. This money comes from five other col- leges in the state, foundation grants and donations. "The only effect (of the loss) is that we will have to hire one less full time staff person than we had planned on," said Jay Tower, a See PIRGIM, Page 10 Stennis reported grave but improving following operati WASHINGTON (/P)-Sen.
