In a harshly worded statement Fleming said "No uni- versity worthy of the name can remain indifferent to any group of people, however well-intentioned, who think that the solution to their problem is to destroy literature with which they dis- agree." Fleming had not commented on the burning before yes- terday. Drivers warned The work of two members of the Delta Tan Delta fraternity who literally took the law in their own hands yesteday prob- ably saved several motorists from the hassle of getting a speed- ing ticket. It all started when Mark Seegel, '74 was nabbed by radar-toting cops at the corner of Geddes and Hill yesterday afternoon. Determined that other unwary motorists should es- cape his fate, Seegel enlisted the aid of frat brother Jim Nissley in constructing a large warning sign in front of the Delta Tau Delta house just up the block, The sign, which read: "Danger! Speed trap ahead," served to slow down motorists for the rest of the day and no more tickets were issued. The police report- edly got bored and split. OEO relieved The Washtenaw County branch of the Office of Economic Opportunity yesterday released a statement saying a District Court ruling halting President Nixon's proposed dismantling of the agency had "boosted the morale" of the local office. "This favorable decision by the Federal Court will, we hope, mean that the activities of OEO will not be further disrupted," Admin- istrative Assistant Stephen Schlesinger said. He said Nixon's plans, had they not been blocked, would have resulted in the loss of $109,000 in administrative and neighborhood center funding.

Dope note CINCINNATI - Twenty-one youths were arrested Wednes- day when a policeman noticed marijuana smoke "hanging over the neighborhood like a cloud" and followed his nose to a house where a party was in progress. "They were smoking it freely throughout the house," said Patrolman Paul Harmes, who took part in the raid. "There was marijuana fudge in the oven. They were boiling marijuana on the stove in tea bags and they had some burning in the fireplace. "It was going up the chimney and we could smell it all over the neighborhood," Harmes said. Won- der if they got off? Sex and the governor HARRISBURG-Pennsylvania Governor Milton Shapp struck another blow for body liberation Wednesday when he suggested that all state lawmakers who vote to outlaw premarital sex be given a lie detector test. Shapp, not originally known for liberal- ism on lifestyle issues, got his name in the underground papers a few months ago when he banned pay toilets on all Pennsylvania state highways. According to sources in Philadelphia, Shapp's loome town, the governor flew into a rage one night halfway be- tween Harrisburg and the city of brotherly love when he pulled into a Howard Johnson rest stop and couldn't find a dime.

House leaves three old progyrams intact anWASHINGTON (id) -The House, in a rebuff to President Nixon,j voted yesterday to continue three! existing student aid programs for; another year instead of switching7 to a new, administration-backed' plan. It approved by unanimous voice vote an appropriation of $872 mil- lion to carry on the programs at their present funding levels. Nixon had requested the same sum but wanted the money taken away from two ofuthe, programs so that $662 million could be put into one enacted last year that is de- signed to assure all students the financial aid they need to attend college. The House acted under an emer- gency procedure in order to end confusion among students and col- lege officials over what federal aid will be available for the school year beginning in September.

Neal Smith (D-Iowa) said if the administration tries it out with the $122 million it is get- ting this year, "I think they're go- ing to fall on their faces." ,SGC cuts off own fundin AP Photo Death in the skies Fireman hack away at the flaming wreckage of a Navy turbojet and a NASA "Flying Laboratory" aircraft that collided in mid- air yesterday over a Southern California golf course.

KEY SENATORS SPEAK. 1 i 3 7 1 t t l i { t i , Nixon warned WASHINGTON (Reuter) - Influential senators, including a powerful supporter of past Nixon Administration foreign policies, yesterday warned the White House against renewed American military involvement in Indochina. American bombing in Cambodia, and reports that South Vietnamese troops backed by American air support may be used to bolster the shaky Cambodian government, touched off ex- pressions of alarm in the Senate and at a Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee hearing. Senate Democratic leaderM Mike Mansfield of Montana told the Senate he was worried about talk of using South Vietnamese and 'hai troops to help support what he called the tenuous posi- tion of the Lon Nol government in Cambodia. "This would be a most dangerous procedure and could have on Cambodi a the possible effect of once again involving this country in a quag- mire because the support - logistical and otherwise - would come from the United States," Mansfield said. He told the Senate the Cambodian government had almost ceased to function despite hundreds of millions of dollars of American aid. "There seems to be little or no hope for this government to stand with or without reinforced outside assistance," said Mans- field, a long-time Asian specialist and friend of ousted Cambo- dian Prince Sihanouk. Senate Republican leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania - the President's chief lieutenant in the Senate - joined in expressions of concern about the American bombing.

LARGEST TRANSACTION EVER: U.S. petroleum firm, Soviets conclude massive trade deal MOSCOW ( Reuter) - The Soviet Union yesterday signed a gigantic $8 billion deal with Occidental Pe- troleum Corp. of Los Angeles which was -thought here to rank as the b i g g e s t commercial deal ever transacted. The agreement was signed be- tween representatives of Soviet foreign trade and chemical minis- tries and Occidental, whose presi- dent is Armand Hammer-a friend of Lenin in the 1920s. Although the cost yesterday is set at $8 billion the contract covers a 20-year period and in the opinion; of. specialists the overall price of the "agreement, when inflationary elements are accounted for, is like- ly to grow much higher over the next two decades. The Occidental-Soviet deal dwarfs all other commercial statistics. Overall U.S.-Soviet trade last year for example topped $640 million. Tass, the Soviet news agency, last night said the Occidental con-I tract covered deliveries of Ameri- can phosphates to the Soviet Union in return for Soviet chemical pro- The agreement also provides for the construction near Kuibyshev, on the Volga, of plants to manu- facture four million tons of am- monia and one million tons of urea annually.

Observers in Moscow believe that apart from the fact of Ilammer's early association with Lenin, and special interest in Soviet trading, other factors might have influenced the mammoth deal. ILeonid Brezhnev, the Soviet Coim munist Party leader, is due to visit the United States this summer or fall to put the final seal of approval on a number of Soviet-American agreements -- political and eco- noamic. An $8 billion trade transaction is one way in which the Soviet leader can assure his potential American audience of industrialists-as well, BULLETIN City police clamped a tight security veil last night on a series, of mysterious incidents that in- cluded an extortion attempt, a bomb scare at the University Towers apartment building on South University Ave., and an abortive high speed police chase of a suspect vehicle on a highway leading out of town. "I'm not releasing anything tonight," said Major Raymond Woodroof of the city police. "There's still an element of danger to someone so I'm not re- leasing anything." However, The Daily learned from other police agencies that city police were investigating an ex- tortion attempt. And one officer said that the at- tempt was connected to the two hour evacuation of University Towers following a bomb scare at 7:55 p.m. last night. Daily reporters at Flint learned that a chase up US 23 by several unmarked city police cars ended with the escape of a suspect vehicle. The car, a green Ford Mustang, 1973 registra- tion number LZR 276, was first chased by police as it headed out of town at high speed on Main Street. The car apparently eluded police roadblocks on the highway. Part of the mystery surrounding last night's events centers around a person or item codenamed "Turkey" by the police. It was thought that "Turkey" refered to a sum of money that was supposed to be paid to a possible extortionist. According to police sources, the transfer of "Turkey" to a vehicle was abortive. Another theory held that "Turkey" was a person, and this might be the reason that police here are fearful for somebody's safety. At University Towers, 600 students shivered in 50 games at once?9 Why no t! By MIKE DUWECK Daily Chess Columnist International Chess Master Milan Vukcevic gave a 50-board simul- taneous exhibition in West Quad last night. Vukcevic played exciting, theo- retical openings in nearly all of his games. Nonetheless, some of his opponents gave him formidable op- position. By 11 p.m. he had won a handful of games and was doing well in the remaining board con- flicts. Before the,exhibition began, Vuk- cevic, a native-born Yugoslavian, asked only that players refrain from passing too often when he came to their 'board in order to get more time to determine their moves.
