The Republicans vehemently railed at the plan - which calls for all sewage from Washtenaw, Wayne and Oakland Counties to be treated at one huge plant on Lake Erie. They called- the proposed plan ill-conceived, and claimed it would have detrimental effects to the Huron River. With such across-the-board oposition to the sewer, we wonder who-besides Gov. William Milliken and Environmental Protection Agency head William Ruckelshaus, the plan's originators - still has hopes for the Super Sewer.

Dope note SEATTLE - The second grader who brought two plants in a milk carton for "show and tell" should have asked first before bringing them to school. Police officer Larry Shafer and Principal Anna Averholt of Alki School agreed the plants were marijuana. Hold the onions DETROIT - Detroit's two most famed hot dog dealers. American Coney Island Restaurant and Lafayette Coney Island, have stopped shovelling onions on their spicy product. The price of onions, they say, is too high. In the last six months, on- ions have skyrocketed from $5.50 to $28 for 50 pounds. It's enough to make an onion lover cry. Spy vs. spy WASHINGTON -'In a battle t gain full control of U.S. spy operations, Maj. Gen. Daniel Graham of theDefense Intelligence Agency (DIA) released a statement saying, "there is no longer a need, in my judgment, to duplicate DIA's efforts in other agencies," a seemingly clear reference to the Central Intelli- gence Agency. A highly-placed source in the CIA responded by saying, "If anybody thinks they are going to take over major jobs from CIA, theyre way off the beam," a seemingly clear reference to a lack of intelligence in the DIA. Republicans attack Nixon WASHINGTON - President Nixon, current figurehead of the Republican Party, is having a little trouble with dissension in the ranks, as virtually every Senate Republican wants Nixon to disclose all available facts behind the Watergate affair - at least according to a survey of GOP Senators. From Arizona's Barry Goldwater and Virginia's William Scott on the right to New York's Jacob Javits on the left, many Republican Senators of all ideological stripes want Nixon to let White House aides testify at the Watergate hearings. In addition, about two-thirds of the 43 Republican Senators feel that the incident will gravely damage the GOP in the '74 and '76 elections. What ever hap- pened to party loyalty? Marigolds forever' TALLAHASSEE, Fla.. - The widow of Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.), is traveling the country promoting her late husband's favorite cause - trying to make the marigold the national flower. Sen. Dirksen had once said the flower had "rugged' humility of character and, like the American eagle and the American flag, is an exclusively American emblem." Gay teacher's case continues BALTIMORE - Dr: Stanton Friedman and Rev. William Stayton took the stand yesterday in U.S. District Court in defense of Joseph Acanfora, who lost his eighth grade teaching position for being an avowed homosexual. Dr. Friedman, head of pedia- trics at the University of Rochester, and Rev. Stayton, instruc- tor of family planning at the University of Pennsylvania, feel that a homosexual would not influence teenagers and would actually help students find :heir own sexual identity. A decision will probably be reached within ten days. Cow chips to fly BEAVER, Okla. - if you're out in this area next Saturday, don't forget to stop in and see Oklahoma Gov. David Hall throw out the first cow chip to start the Annual World Champion- ship Cow Chip Throwing Contest. (A cowchip is what is left behind after the cow moves on.) It looks like real tough competition this year. So many people have wanted to compete, that regional throw-offs throughout the country were set up.

Homecoming, Ann Arbor style Flag-waving throngs greet former POW By LAURA BERMAN Ann Arbor showed its colors yesterday: red, white and blue. Flags waved, the mayor said words like' 'patriotism' and 'courage' and everyone stood for the na- tional anthem - all because ex-POW Air Force Capt. Jack Butcher was home. Capt. Butcher arrived at the University baseball stadium in a Chevy Caprice with a member of the local American Legion post serving as' chauffeur. Original plans had called for him to land on the baseball diamond in a helicopter but none could be found. A fleet of local dignitaries was on hand to welcome, the returning ex-POW: Presi- dent Robben Fleming with 50-yardline foot- See related-story, Page 2 ball passes, Mayor James Stephenson with a gold key to the city.

He added, however, he did not know all the facts that might be I presented.

The group said the attack was aimed at the unholy "Ameri- can-Saudi Arabia - Lebanese alli- ance." The . official Palestinian news agency WAFA, however, charged the claim was circulated "by American agents to mislead the people." WVAFA, denied guerrillas were involved anddsaid the attack was carried out by Israeli coin- mandos. Earlier in the week, the Pales- tinian guerrillas tried to link U. S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agents and the U. S. Embassy in Beirut with the Israeli commando raid into the Lebanese capital in which three top guerrilla leaders were assassinated. The United States has denounced the allega- tion as reminiscent of the' "big lie" tactics of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. Armed saboteurs overpoweredI four guards and used time bombs to set fire to two oildstoragebtanks in the tank farm owned by the Trans - Arabian Pipeline Co. A doctor who treated the guards said they identified their 11 assailants tack was "intended to blow the unholy alliance between the Unit- ed States, Saudi Arabia and Leba- non that is directed against the live and independence of our peo- ple. "Oil feeds imperialism and goes into planes and other destructive weapons with which the United States is supplying the Israeli enemy generously," the statement declared. The group first surfaced last year when it claimed responsibil- ity for robberies at several foreign banks in Beirut, but it has been dormant since then. Major Palestinian liberation or- ganizations denied any involve- ment, although they have a base near the refinery where t h e y maintain fishing boats for raids on Israel. ' Reports from the U. N. yester- day indicated the Arab nations led by Egypt may be planning to demand the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations.

OP HO'CHO SPEAKS: Better dead thian rhed WASHINGTON 01i - The editor of the Republican National Coin- ttee newsletter confirmed yesterday that he sent a letter to a mmunist newspaper in New York saying, "Ah, at last. Pablo Picasso now a good Communist." The implication behind the missive is that the 'only good Com- iist is adead one. Picasso, who died April 8, was a Communist of ig standing. The communist Daily World reproduced the letter on its front ge yesterday with a note saying it had sent a wire to GOP party ef George Bush asking if the letter expressed the position of the ty. John Lofton, editor, of the GOI' newsletter, said he wrote 'the e "as a wisecrack." Bush denied that the note expressed the opin-: of the Republican National Committee. of colleges cut WASHINGTON (UPI) - Officials of some of the largest U.S. col- leges and universities said yesterday they expect annual revenue losses of up to $25 million next year if the Nixon administration's proposed budget cutbacks go, into effect. "Virtually every on-going higher education program has either been eliminated or reduced substantially in the 1974 budget re- quests," the 128-member National Association of State Universities I and Land Grant Colleges stated in a report. It said the hardest hit programs would be in the field health 'sciences and student aid grants. The estimated losses of federal aid under President Nixon's budget proposals for the fiscal year begining July 1 include an $8 as Palestinians but an American million cut in the University's allocation. oil official said the identity of the ' Budget cuts in the health sciences will affect grants to train young attackers remained a mystery.
