Two 6 - 3 decisions approved bal- lot restrictions of districts in Cali- fornia and Wyoming where votes were given only to landholders, in- cluding corporations, with t h e votes weighted according to the size of the holding. First declaring that the districts had limited purpose and did not exercise "normal governmetal au- thority," the majority said a state "could rationally conclude that landowners are primarily burden- ed and benefited by the establish- ment and operation of watershed districts and that it may condition the vote accordingly." Justice William Douglas dissent- ed sharply, saying the majority did! violence not only to the Constitu- tion but the environment as well. Writing for the majority in the California case, Justice W i I i a m Rehnquist said the Tulare L a k e Basin Water District falls into ex- ceptions in the court's previous rul- ing extending the vote in popular elections. The restrictions had been attack- ed by small landowners, and non- land owning residents as unconsti- tutional. "Nothing the the equal protec- tion clause of the Constitution pre-_ cludes California from limiting the voting for directors of the district by totally excluding those who merely reside within the district," said Rehnquist. Noting that a function of the dis- trict was flood control, Douglas said all should vote equally, be they landowners or residents.

"Those who attack the 1903 treaty are at- tacking a phantom foe," U. S. Ambassador John Scali told the Security Council meeting in Pana- ma City. Scali said the 70 year-old agreement granting the U. S. perpetual rights over the 500 square mile Canal Zone had twice before been "revised significantly to Panama's advantage." "The U. S. was ready to change it again, on the basis of friendly negotiations," he said. "The United States is ready to conclude a new treaty promptly," Ambassador Scali told the 15-nation body, which has concentrated its attention on the Canal dispute during the week- long session here due to end Wednesday. "At the same time, we believe it necessary that the United States continue to be responsi- ble for the operation and defense of the Canal treaty seen, for an additional, specified period of time." "I would like to make it clear that the United States, no less than others who have spoken at this table, supports Panama's just aspirations." He said U. S. negotiators had already recog- nized that the 1903 treaty should be replaced by "a new, modern treaty," that any new Canal treaty should be of fixed duration "rejecting the concept of perpetuity" and that "Panama should have returned to it a substantial territory now part of the Canal Zone, with arrangement for use of other areas." These areas would be "the minimum required for United States operations and defense of the Canal, and would be integrated into the legal, economic, social and cultural life of Panama, on a timetable to be agreed on. Scali said it had also been recognized that "Panama should exercise its jurisdiction in the Canal area pursuant to a mutually agreed table." Finally, it had been agreed that Panama should receive "substantially increased annual pay- ments for the use of its territory relating to the Canal." TONY BOYLE, former United Mine Workers President, con- firmed yesterday that he ap- proved the transfer of $20,000 in UAW funds to a lesser union of- ficial. However, he denied un- der oath that the money was used to finance the slaying of UMW funds to a lessor union of- ski. Boyle testified in defense of William Prater, who is accused of hiring the killers of Yablon- ski in December 1969. + Use Daily Classifieds + Phenomenology Group PRESENTS WRITER JOCK HENDERSON SPEAKING ON "Phenomenology & Literature" March 21, 1973, Wednesday in the MICHIGAN UNION FACULTY CLUB LOUNGE 7:30 p.m. CVM ROCK" ynthia Peabody was far and away the brightest girl at the university. Added to her many triumphs were Home- coming Queen, captain of the debate team and honorary right tackle of the varsity football squad. The actual right tackle was a happy-go-lucky 280 pounder named Mad Dog Linguini. Mad Dog was overjoyed about sharing his position with Cynthia. He loved the way she looked. He even loved the way she debated. Well, you know how impulsive football players are. Mad dog asked Cynthia out ... to a scrimmage. When she turned him down he asked her to marry him. Taken by surprise Cynthia consented on the condition that Mad Dog become first in his class. He studied relentlessly, day and night and between plays. Confident in his ability to suc- ceed, Mad Dog acquired a Vanity Fair diamond ring catalog. The entire football S.t team helped him select a most exquisite diamond engagement ring for Cynthia. (And no football-shaped diamond like you're thinking.) Mad Dog managed to afford the ring on * his scholarship money because " Vanity Fair diamonds are 50% less than any comparable dia- mond he could have purchased elsewhere. Mad Dog was also appreciative of Vanity Fair's money-back guar- antee in 30 days if he wasn't fully satisfied. Well, Mad Dog never quite made it to number one in the class, but Cynthia, nevertheless, was en- thralled by his spunk and the beautiful Vanity Fair diamond engagement ring he gave her. They were married by Mad Dog's coach in a spectacular half-time ceremony and spent the rest of the game in the locker room.
