Former county top-cop Douglas Harvey has finally found employment after cooling his heels since his ignominous defeat in last November's general election. His new job: chasing people who. skip bonds for Harold Moon, bail bondsman. Harvey tried for something better, but his application to be chief of Livingston County's Green Oak Township Police Dept. was rejected. Have we heard the last of this man? Watch this space for further in- stallments of the strange and terrible saga. Bubble challenge Reaction to the Daily's recent bubble-gum blowing contest is still pouring in. Yesterday we received a letter from Susie Roy, a student at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. She apparently read a story about the contest in a local paper and has officially challenged Doug Dixon, winner of the wierd- ness contest to a duel- bubble gum style that is. "I have been chewing bubble gum for 14 years, she wrote, "and my record is eleven bubbles within a bubble." Dixon won the Daily's contest with a mere bubble within a bubble. We wonder if Roy's claim is genuine however, or if it isn't just a lot of hot air. Bubble praise The day's other bubble note came from District Court Judge Sandorf Elden, one of the guest officials in last week's contest. Elden said that he found the contest to be truly enjoyable and exhilirating but he added, ,"I must admit that one of my frustrations in life is my inability to blow a bubble gum bubble." Happenings,. .. . . . today are led off by a truly bizarre event - bizarre because it was sent in by some people who genuinely like Johnny Orr. 'True Blue' basketball fans are asked to gather at the north side of Crisler Arena at 12:30 p.m. for an informal sendoff rally for Orr's Minnesota-bound hoopsters . . . Dance freeks should head for Couzins Hall tonite at 8:00 p.m. where two bands will play in a UAC sponsored dance. Admission is one dollar but beer will be free . . . for those into different kinds of dance, the International Folkdance Club will gather in Barbour gym at 8:00 p.m. for a Turkish Dance workshop . . . Also at 8:00 p.m. Dr. Tobe Johnson, Director of the Afro-American studies program at Atlanta University will participate in a University colloqium scheduled to examine black issues and their impli- cation for higher education . . . finally at 8:00 p.m., apparently a very popular time, oil economist Oudi Abardimeh will speak at Rackham Amphitheatre on "Arab Oil and The Energy Crisis" . . . and tonight and tomorrow night Michigan House of West Quad is putting on "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." Winthrop Rockefeller dies PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Winthrop Rockefeller, 60, former Arkansas governor, cattle baron, and a brother of Nelson Rocke- feller, died of cancer here yesterday morning. Rockefeller be- came Arkansas' first Republican governor in 94 years in 1967. He served until 1970, instituting reforms in governmental organi- zation, race relations, prisons, and gambling and drinking laws. Petain puns PARIS; France - The corpse of Marshal Philippe Petain, which has done more traveling than most live bodies, was returned to its Atlantic Island burial place yesterday. The de- cision to return Petain, the hero-turned-traitor, to the island has provoked a grave crisis in France. Many of Petain's right-wing supporters feel he deserves a hero's burial at Verdun. Critics, on the other hand, feel too much dirt has been unearthed about Petain's past to permit such an honor. Just like in the movies LAS VEGAS, Nevada - Singer Elvin Presley got a standing ovation during a show here, but it was not for his singing. Pres- ley was on stage when four men climbed out of the crowd, inter- rupting his act. Presley used a karate-like chop to knock one man off the stage, while a band member tackled another. Ap- parently all the years of moving those hips has kept the "king" in shape. Capital idea LINCOLN, England - A conservative candidate for Parlia- ment yesterday demanded the return of capital punishment, but said razor blades should be left in the cells of convicted murder- ers so they could execute themselves. "Hanging is sadistic," Jonathan Guinness told reporters. When informed that death by razor cuts could be even slower than the hangman's rope Guinness replied, "Well perhaps a pill or a revolver. I haven't thought this out very carefully." Michigan abortion law DETROIT (UPI) - Michigan's 127-year-old abortion law was declared unconstitutional yester- day by a three-judge panel of the U.S. District Coprt. The panel adopted the language of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that Michigan's highly re- strictive law "cannot survive the constitutional attack made upon it." The high court said in a case involving abortion statutes in Texas and Georgia that states cannot prohibit voluntary abor- tions during the first three months of pregnancy. The three-judge panel of U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge George Edwards and U.S. Dis- trict Judges Thomas Thornton and John Feikens voided Mich- igan's law in a case involving an unidentified Lansing woman who sought an abortion because she had rubella German measles dur- ing pregnancy. Under the Supreme Court guide- lines adopted by the Detroit panel, women can receive abor- tions upon demand during the first three months of pregnancy. During the r e ma i n i n g six months, however, states may regulate abortion procedures and during the final 10 weeks of pregnancy may prohibit abortion, except 'where the mother's life is endangered. Michigan law has prohibited abortions in any circumstances and at any point of the pregnancy except to save the mother's life. Despite the federal panel's rul- ing, Michigan's official legal po- sition on abortions was not clear. Attorney General Frank Kelley has claimed that the U.S. Su- preme Court decision of Jan. 22 could not be applied to the state immediately because of a re- quest to rehear the Georgia and Texas cases. Kelley s t o p p e d the state's health director from issuing guidelines for the operation of abortion clinics, saying it would put the state in the position of sanctioning illegal acts. Public Health Director Mau- itruck rice Reizen said he has been advised by Kelley that it would be improper for the state to issue its guidelines until the U.S. Supreme Court acts on rehear- ing motions submitted by Texas and Georgia. "The advice of the atttorney general's office is that the de- partment would be in the posi- tion of condoning abortions which are still illegal in this state de- spite the fact that they are being performed," Reizen said. down. The federal court is the second court to declare the Michigan law unconstitutional. Wayne County Circuit Judge Charles Kaufman ruled last Oc- tober that it was unconstitutional and enjoined W a y n e County Prosecutor William Cahalan from prosecuting licensed physicians who performed abortions. Cahalan appealed the decision to the Michigan Supreme Court which has scheduled April hear- ings for that case and two others. 'LIAISON OFFICES' U.S., China announce * * * * * * Nixon t t * IXR I ongress WASHINGTON (Reuter) - President Nixon threatened yesterday to increase income taxes by 15 per cent if Con- gress failed to approve budget cuts in government welfare' programs and impose federal spending limits. The announcement was appar- ently an attempt to make Congress take the blame for inflation-and! will surely bring pressure on most of the legislative body's members to spend money only within Nixon's limits. In a 3,000-word economic mes- sage to Congress the President also warned against any attempts at flouting the Administration's eco- nomic controls. He said the controls were still in effect and only the method of en- forcing them had changed. Mostly the controls relied on vol- untary cooperation, he said, "but if some people should fail to co- operate we still have the will and the means to crack down on them I ~ "Let me deliver this message in clear and unmistakeable terms: We will regard any flouting of ourI inflationary rules and standards as AN ISR nothing less than economic arson threatening our national economic Wrecka stability-and we shall act accord- ingly." He did not specify what action he would take in the event of "economic arson," Nixon said in the message, one of a series of his State of the Union messages, that the system . of controls in Phase Three of his economic program had the broad support of business and labor and Angry would allow the Administration to rea tens tax hike if re lations WASHINGTON (Reuter)-China and the United States erday took a a significant step toward eventual diplo- ic recognition by agreeing to establish official liaison ces in Washington and Peking. The decision to exchange missions to develop trade and er cbntacts was accompanied by other steps' to speed the rovement of Sino-American relations that began when sident Nixon made his historic trip to China a year ago. A joint U.S.-China communique issued on Henry Kissin- s recent talks in Peking said the time had arrived follow- the Vietnam peace settlement-for "accelerating the malization of relations," which observers had no doubt ld lead to full diplomatic links despite U.S. commitments won't cut welfare wu. to Taiwan. Kissinger told a press conference that the liaison offices would be set up in the near future as the main contact point for the develop- ment of trade and all other mat- ters, except the strictly formal dip- lomatic aspects of ties between the two countries. As a gesture of goodwill, Kissin- ger said Prime Minister Chou En- Lai had told him that two American pilots-Air Force Maj. Philip Smith and Navy Lt. Cmdr. Robert Flynn- would be released from prison within a few weeks. The two men were captured af- ter their planes were downed in China while they were on opera- ti ons over North Vietnam in the mid-1960s. The presidential advisor also said the Chinese had indicated that later this year they might release John Downey, an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency held in China since the Korean War. Another major step toward friendlier relations was an agree- ment to negotiate $250 million in claims the United States has against China for the seizure of See U.S., Page 6 PRESIDENTIAL Advisor Henry Kissinger gestures upon his re- turn from China and talks with Chou En-lai.

Wednesday's shooting, which cost at least 100 lives, was condemned by Arab leaders and newspapers as "bar- baric" and "cold blooded piracy." However, Israel's air force chief and the fighter pilots who shot down the airliner yesterday said the pilots were only trying to force the plane to land, but it re- sisted and seemed to be trying to escape. Defense MinistertMoshe Dayan told reporters the Israeli decisions in the incident were taken through normal military channels below the government level and had "no political significance whatsoever." The Soviet Union, which backs the Arab countries in the Middle East conflict, declared through official news media that Israel was attempting to wreck chances for a peaceful settlement in the Middle East. In Paris, Foreign Minister Maurice Schumann sum- -p moned the Israeli charge d'affaires to express "the deep and unanimous emotion" of France, which provided most of the plane's crew. U. N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim called the act "one of the most shocking incidents in the history of bivil aviation," and called for a full investigation. Amid a chorus of condemnation from Arab capitals, Libya itself - the chief victim of Israel's action - pro- duced the least initial reaction, observers noted here. They wondered whether, and how, Libya will retaliate. Apparently 105 persons died in the crash Wednesday of the Libyan Airlines Boeing 727 jet in the Israeli-oc- cupied Sinai Desert. Libyan officials said the three-jet plane had 112 aboard. Israel reported nine survivors were pulled from the wreckage but two died later. "We tried desperately to force it down,'not to shoot it down" the air force chief, Maj. Gen. Mordechai Hod, told reporters. "The more the pilot objected and the more he tried to get away, the more suspect he be- came." Two Israel pilots, identified at the news conference only by the initials "S" and "Y", said their fighter bombers were 10 or 15 feet from the Boeing and they could see the captain. "We had orders to bring him to an air base, so. with my thumb I pointed down and backward, because .we already were beyond the base where we wanted the plane to land." Y related. "But the pilot indicated with his hand that he was going straight on, west toward the Suez Canal." Fighter pilot Y said they also fired warning bursts, each lasting half a second. The pilot said they tried to see if the plane carried passengers, but its curtains were drawn. Y said the Israelis were in constant contact with the ground and "followed only the orders that were given See ARABS, Page 10 -charged wit SGC replaces proposed film group rules with SOB plan excess DES use From Wire Service Reports WASHINGTON-Medical experts told Congress yesterday that many college health services routinely prescribe the controversial morning- after birth control pill (DES) specifically charging that the University's own health service dispenses the drug "like water." Anita Johnson, an attorney with the Health Research Group in Washington, told Congress of finding widespread use of the "morning- after" pill at 14 universities, including the University. "Advocates for Medical Information, an Ann Arbor student group, reported to us last November that the health service at the University of Michigan was dispensing DES like water," she said. Director of the University's Information Service Joel Berger denied charges that the Health Service routinely dispenses DES as a birth control measure. "We are reluctant to prescribe it on a regular basis," he said. He called the charge a "headline-type comment," saying students who request the pill are "made well aware of other birth control devices."
