The crowd at tomorrow's Hash Bash may include some very prestigious guests if our man in Lansing has anything to say about it. State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor) yesterday in- vited all the members of the House and Senate Judiciary Com- mittee to join him at the festival. Perry suggested the members use the occasion as a fact-finding mission and for the more courageous he hinted some personal experimentation might be in order. Perry hopes that the experience may persuade some legis- lators that the use of marijuana. and hashish should not be treated as a criminal offense. Dog days Thursday morning in our Today item on the Hash Bash we noted that a dog orgy would be included among Sunday's scheduled events. A number of people from the Humane Society called up yesterday and pointed out that the orgy could have a number of rather disastrous consequences. First of all, the callers . mentioned that a number of dog fights might be started. More importantly they added that the puppies produced by the dogs' activities would likely be unwanted and hence would have to be destroyed. Thus we urge all those attending the festivals to leave at home any dogs that might be in heat. Your dog will thank you for it. Honeywell boycotte1 A resolution' asking for a city and community boycott of Honeywell Inc. products was approved by the City Council Thurs- day night. The ban is to continue until "that company ceases and desists the production and development of anti-personnel wea- pons." The boycott is part of a nationwide drive organized by Clergy and Laity Concerned. All four Democrats and both Human Rights Party members voted for the resolution. Raffle sale A local organization has announced the initiation of a raffle sale, the proceeds from which will go towards the construction of a children's hospital in North Vietnam. Members of the Ann Arbor branch of the Nguyen Van Troi Children's Hospital Com- mittee will be selling raffle tickets around the campus for a drawing to be held on April 13. The organization is a world-wide body whose goal is to build a hospital in Hanoi. Members of the committee plan to go to Hanoi and personally take part in the construction. A correction In a story in Thursday's Daily concerning the suit against Write-on, Inc. we reported that University General Council Rod- erick Daane had been asked to show cause for his suit. In fact, the court directed Write-on to show cause why the injunction against it should not be continued. The court subsequently ruled to continue that injunction. Thursday's story also stated that the suit was only directed against the company's Ann Arbor office. It is in fact directed against the company's statewide operation. The Daily regrets these errors.

Poetic license SAN FRANCISCO - The great Edward Arlington Robinson once wrote a poem about the tragic life of Richard Cory. Yester- day, Cory's modern-day namesake ran ilto some tragedy of his own. San Mateo County sheriff's deputies said they received a tip that Cory, a fugitive from federal prison, was at the San Francisco International Airport. They subsequently had Cory paged over the public address system and asked him to pick up the white telephone. Cory answered the call and within seconds two deputies, slipped the handcuffs on him for a trip to the county jail. Where is Robinson when we need him?

Meat By AP, UPI, and Reuters President Nixon's new ceiling on meat prices drew mixed reac- tion from farm and meat in- dustry leaders, organized labor, and Democratic and Republican members of Congress. Many of those who criticized the ceiling believed it might lead to even higher meat prices by discouraging producers from in creasing production. Others said that meat had become the tar- get for what really was a prob- lem of widespread inflation. Farm and meat industry lead- ers were especially angry with Nixon's move. Elton Berck, price controls under fire Farmers, senators cite drawbacks president of the Farmers' Union in the beef-producing state of Ne- braska, epitomized farm belt disgruntlement. He charged the President acted "under the advice of Wall Street cowboys and legal fact benders . . . labor czars whose anguished bleatings convenient- ly overlook the fact that skyroc- keting labor costs are at the very heart of the alleged prob- lem." The president of the American Farm Bureau Federation called the ceiling not "right, fair or ac- ceptable. "An appreciable drop in farm prices on meat will surely les- sen the incentive for farmers and ranchers to increase produc- tion," said William Kuhfuss, head of the two-million member group. Under President Nixon's or- der, processors, wholesalers and retailers can charge the highest prices for beef, pork and lamb that they posted during the 30- day period prior to last Tues- day. But they will not be per- mitted to pass on to the con- sumer any increase in the price of live animals charged by the farmers. Nationwide enforcement of the new price (eiling on meat will begin on Monday, the Nixon ad- ministration announced. Suspect- ed violations of the ceiling should be reported to local offices of the Internal Revenue Service. The consensus of boycott or- ganizers in various parts of the country was that meat prices should be reduced, not stabiliz- at the current high level. This view was echoed by AFL- CIO President George Meany, who said the only fair thing would be to roll back meat pric- es -- now at a 22-year high- to where they stood before the recent inflationary spiral began. Rep. Wright Patman (D-Tex.), chairman of the House-Senate Joint Economic Committee, call- ed on Nixon to roll back food rates and impose a freeze on rent and interest rates. "The entire economy is in need of a strong enforceable stabiliz- ation program and this cannot be accomplished by a freeze on a few items," he explained. Police uncertain of .miussing sta By JONATHAN MILLER Special To TIe Daily MILWAUKEE - Police investigating the ap- parent Tuesday morning abduction of Univer- sity student Melanie Fahr seem to have no idea where she is and little hope that she is still alive. That was the picture that emerged yes- terday at police headquarters in Milwaukee as the search for Fahr entered its fourth day. The prime suspect in the case, and the man who may hold the only clues to Fahr's whereabouts, lies in a Milwaukee hospital bed in the aftermath of a shootout with police Thursday. The man, 31-year-old Orville Leland Davis, has refused to respond to police ques- tions about the case. Davis has been linked to Fahr through a YMCA ticket found in Fahr's abandoned au- ~rdents' faite tomobile. The ticket, issued in Toledo, Ohio, has been traced to a man using the name "John Tucker." The manager of the YMCA identified a photograph of Davis as being Tucker. "I believe Fahr's dead and I believe that sonofabitch Davis killed her," said Milwaukee police Deputy Inspector Kenneth Marple, who is leading the investigation. "When you've been in this business as long as I have, your intuition starts to tell you things. My intuition is that this girl is dead." But as Marple is quick to admit, there is no evidence that Fahr is alive or dead. The latest revelation in the police investi- gation is that there are approximately 400 unaccounted miles on Fahr's odometer. Police made this estimate on the basis of an See SEARCH, Page 8 Merchants } condemn price lawF By GORDON ATCHESON A number of local merchants have expressed dissatisfaction over the unit pricing ordinance passed by City Council Thursday night, claiming the measure does not ac- tually benefit the consumer. "If the ordinance goes into ef- fect, smallerstores may have to raise their prices," claims Shirley, Jones who operates the local Food Mart stores. Jones said any price increase would be due to "additional equip- E ment and labor" needed to comply with the ordinance, The city law, based on a Mas- sachusetts regulation, requires all "packaged commodities" including processed foods, non - prescription medicines, and other household items be clearly marked with price per measure in addition to total cost. "In Massachusetts, unit pricing did not seem to affect, prices much one way or the other," said Barry Wax, a University graduate stu- dent who helped implement that state's regulation. He said the mer- Do chants "have been able to liveIA ha with the,'law "without great diffi- an siae ns culty."

PROGRAM TAMPERING: SGC sa By CINDY HILL Sabotage in the certified compu- ter program for this month's all- campus election has been charged, in addition to the identification of 303 of the ballots as fraudulent. The Daily learned yesterday that four lines had been deleted from the computer program since it was stored in the computer March 14. Paul Howard, who wrote the pro- gram, maintains that "they (who- ever tampered with the prograrr) couldn't have picked four other lines that would've fouled up the program as. much."

The deletion of these four state- ments means the program can not be executed. "It was someone who had access to the computer, and someone who knew enough about computers to do it." Howard said the certified pro- gram, altered as it is, will not be workable. Election Director Ken Newbury however, claims that he will "never" use Howard's progran anyway, and that the program i3 basically faulty. He says that he, instead, will use the program written by Burt Mo- berg, with John Koza acting as A consultant.
