Lensman Ken Fink was given the usual election day assignment: "Go out and get pictures of people voting." Poor Ken returned a few hours later and told the ,editor on desk: "I tried, but I couldn't find anybody voting." Ken tried again and finally found a voter, whom he photographed with relish. School job rejected Who wants -to be superintendent )f schools? Not David Trost, the prime candidate for the post.

Sewer opposed Local opposition to the planned "Super Sewer" for South- eastern Michigan is growing. At a press conference yesterday, Citizens Opposed to Super Sewer (COSS) described the plan as "environmentally unsound and an attempt by Detroit to fleece Ann Arbor."

The hearing will be held Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. at the Sheraton-etro Inn at Detroit Metro Airport.

Thies-Nixon talks SAN CLEMENTE - President Nixon and South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu yesterday called on Hanoi to ob- serve the ceasefire agreement and work with them to achcieve reconciliation in Vietnam in an atmosphere of enduring peace. The two presidents, opening two days of talks on post-war rela- tions between their two countries, stressed the need for scrupu- lous observance of the ceasefire accord signed in Paris on January 27. They also began planning future American economic and military aid programs to support the Saigon government in its political struggle with the Viet Cong. Watergate still open WASHINGTON - Sen. Sam Ervin (D-N.C.) yesterday re- jected a White House effort to obtain special treatment for presidential aides in the Senate's investigation of the Watergate affair. Ervin repeated his vow he will seek the arrests of White House aides if they do not honor subpeonas to testify under oath in formal private and'public sessions. While Ervin was making his statement in Washington, the San Clemente White House released a statement charging that Ervin's committee investigating the affair has been "plagued by irresponsible leaks of tidal wave proportions" and said its chair- man should "get his own disorganized house in order." Press secretary Ron Ziegler said, however, "the White House intends to cooperate with the committee." ' The Beatles . . . Again? NEW YORK - Businessman Allen Klein, the man at the center of the dispute which split up the Beatles, lost his hold on their financial affairs yesterday. The move appeared to be at the instigation of the remaining three Beatles, setting off specula- tion that they may now reunite with Paul McCartney, who broke from the group because of his objections to Klein. With Klein's influence removed, the fact that John, George and Ringo had been recording together recently gave immediate rise to hopes that Paul might be persuaded to join them.

The other two council races were won by Democrats as the Human Rights Party (HRP) was completely shut out. Many observers feel the results may well signal the death of the radical third party. Joining Stephenson in victory were Republicans Robert Henry, Richard Hadler and John McCormick in wards three, four, and five and Democrats Norris Thomas and Carol Jones in wards one and two. Both referenda on the ballot, one - Daily Photo by ROLFE TESSEM NEWLY-ELECTED MAYOR James Stephenson flashes a big grin last night as he poses for cameras at GOP headquarters. Stephenson was all smiles and predictions last night at the Republican affair he ld in Webers' Inn, as he and three others swept the GOP into abso- lute control of City Hall. HRP IN TROUBLE Republicans 0 in total control By JONATHAN MILLER Daily News Analysis It will be a staunchly Republican regime that takes the reins of power at next Monday's City Council meeting. Though the GOP failed to gain a majority of the vote in yes- terday's election, it will have no trouble maintaining a comfortable margin around the council table on the second floor of the city hall. No less than six Republicans will flank Mayor-elect James Stephenson at the table. Against them will be pitted only two Human Rights Party (HRP) and two Democratic council members. The election represents more than merely a Republican victory, however. The city's fledgling Human Rights Party now finds itself in the most critical mess of its brief history. Its mayoral candidate, Be Kaimowitz, acted out the role of spoiler right on the Retpublican cue.

The CIA official said he reject-: ed the offer. A year after the Mraxist took office the government appropriat- ed ITT's 70 per cent interest in the Chile Telephone Co., which ITT said was worth about $152- million. Geneen said "the bulk" of the purpose of his discussion with Broe voters had pulled Democratic levers, it would be Democrat Franz Mogdis who sat at the head of the council table. Further, HRP hopes in wards one and two, where HRP can- didates won last year, were dashed by Democrats. Clearly, the Democrats and the Human Rights Party must aim for some kind of reconciliation if they wish to run the city as they have for the past twelve months. But the HRP defeat yesterday puts the young party in a weak bargaining position. As of yesterday, HRP has lost elections on three occasions in the past year. HRP bids for the school board last summer, the state represen- tative and county commissioner seats in November, and now the mayor and council yesterday, have all met with ignominious defeat. Yesterday the defeat was particularly bitter for HRP candidate Andrei Joseph in student-heavy Ward One. He finished in third place.

With all but absentee ballots tal- lied the results in the mayor's race were Stephenson - 15,172, Mogdis 11,378 and Kaimowitz - 5,047. The turnout of 31,597 represent- ed some 42 per cent of the elector- ate. Last April in a non-mayoral race over 51 per cent of the voters turned out. In the last mayoralty election in 1971, the turnout was approximately 64 per cent. The mood was jubilant at Web- er's West Ballroom where the Re- publicans met last night for their victory celebration. Some 300 of the faithful packed the small room and cheered loudly as the vote to- tals appeared on a large tote- board. "This is a fantastic victory," ex- claimed mayor-elect Stephenson. Joined by his six Republican coun- cil colleaguesea beaming Stephen- son said, "we will have a seven person majority on council. With that majority we will provide Ann Arbor with a progressive form of government that will put the city back together again." Pressed on what a Stephenson administration will, mean to the city, the victorious candidate said that he planned to put more money into the police department and garbage collection. He was non-commital on the sub- ject of the five dollar fine for marijuana, saying only that he and other Republicans would have to meet to discuss the issue. Despite the prospect of facing a Republican - dominated council for the next year, Democrats who gathered at the First Unitarian Church last night were on the whole rather pleased with the re- turns. "HRP is dead," exclaimed for- mer Democratic Councilman Ro- bert Faber. "We killed them, but they were slow to die," added Don- ald Koster a local radical attorney. Such sentiment seemed to be at the heart of the Democratic opti- -mism last night. Reasoning that their strong showing in wards one and two indicated their dominance in student areas, Democrats feel that they can come back in a year and regain their majority. Victorious council candidate Norris Thomas expressed this feeling when he said, "We won the battle, but we lost the war. But next year we are going to win the battle and the war."

Colleague seeks jail Bullard LANSING (UPI) - 'Declaring that "no one is above the law," a House member has called for the censure of Ann Arbor's State Rep. Perry Bullard for smoking a joint for photographers at Sunday's Hash Festival. Bullard had urged his col- leagues in the state legislature to visit the Hash Bash as a "fact- finding project" about grass and hash. 'I was, taught that no one was above the law," said Rep.
