When a fire started in a trash can in City Hall late Friday night, police managed to extinguish the blaze before fire fighters arrived on the scene in full gear. The blaze, which caused extensive dam- age to the fifth floor, started when a smoldering cigaret caught fire in a huge garbage can. Happenings .. .

Mock Inaugural held LANSING--About 100 anti-war and anti-Nixon student demon- strators staged a mock inauguration at noon Friday for "King Richard of Milhouse" on the steps of the state capitol. The students, mostly from Michigan State University, crowned "President Nixon" with a football helmet and presented him with a plastic airplane they designated a B52 bomber. The demonstration ended with a symbolic execution of half a dozen war protesters. Earlier in the day someone dribbled two bottles of ketchup on the front ,steps on the capitol and stuck an anti- war note on the front door. Divorce, American style DETROIT-It took Daniel Borg about three hours in court to get a divorce. That was about 30 minutes more than his marriage lasted. Borg said he had courted his fiancee for more than a year before they were married in September. When the couple got to their honeymoon cottage, Borg testified, he told her she could forget about another man with whom she had been friendly. To his surprise, the new Ms. Borg indicated she did not intend to forget the other, saying she had agreed to marry Borg just to make the other man jealous. Wayne County Circuit Judge Victor Baum said the breakup was the quickest he heard of in his 16 years on the bench. Role reversal SEATTLE-A tavern owner has put a bare-chested male dancer on stage in an effort to prove that a law against topless female dancers is a form of sex discrimination. Tavern owner Frank Colacurico staged his male dancer Friday after Superior Court Judge James Dore refused to issue an injunction to stop police from enforcing the no-topless ordinance. "They let males - do it. Why can't females?" Colarcurico asked. Topless dancing had thrived here since April when a judge ruled that it was a form of expression protected by the First Amendment. But last month, the police chief announced that, because a Dec. 5 Supreme Court decision upheld the right of states to regulate entertainment in establishments serving liquor, his officers would again enforce the 1966 no-topless ordinance. 'Obscene' tango? BOLOGNA, Italy--Marlon Brando, French actress Maria Schneider and Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci were indicted yesterday on obscenity charges for their film "The Last Tango in Paris." Although Italian film critics labeled it as being one of the best productions since the end of World War II, the film was banned in Italy last month by a Rome judge after being shown in the capital for almost a week. Justice sources said particular objections were raised to a scene which de- picted "unnatural intercourse." The film concerns a love affair between a middle-aged, down-at-heel American living in Paris and a young French girl.

Nixon e 50,000 nV1S10iS rotest 'era of peace'; inauguration Citywide marches By the Daily's Washington Bureau special To The Daily WASHINGTON - The sec- ond inauguration of President Richard Nixon went off as scheduled yesterday despite the loud protests of some 50,- 000 demonstrators. The anti-Nixon demonstration, sponsored by the National Peace Action Coalition (NPAC) and the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ), was the biggest Washington has seen for several years. But the massive rally was as peaceful as its organizers had pre- dicted, as only 18 protesters were 1 arrested. A separate demonstration, by some 2500 members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Youth International Party proved a bit more active. SDS and Yippies skirmished briefly with police on several different occa- sions, but no arrests were made. The only real threat of a serious flareup in the demonstrations oc- curred late in the afternoon, when several hundred protesters at- tempted to join the end of the inaugural parade just before it passed the White House reviewing stand. Police quickly contained the de- monstrators, who had blocked a major intersection. Most of the 18 arrests were made at this point. The official inaugural ceremony witnessed by 300,000 onlookers went off with split second preci- sion - such exactness in fact, that much attention was diverted to the more dramatic actions of the anti- Nixon protesters. The NPAC - PCPJ noon march went from the Lincoln Memorial' to the Washington Monument. According to organizers of the Ann Arbor Counter - Inaugural Committee about 2500 Ann Arbor- ites participated in the demonstra- tion. The procession was called a "March Against Death." Demon- strators carried coffins and signs depicting "atrocities" committed by Nixon during his first four years as President. Some tension momentarily flar- ed as the demonstrators argued whether or not to burn fences, flags and whatever fuel was avail- able at the base of the Monu- ment. Only several campfire-like blazes were set, however. While at the Monument, the demonstrators heard speeches by major war critics. The speeches were led off by Rep. Bella Abzug (D-N.Y.). At 11:00 a.m., Vietnam Veter- ans Against the War began a sep- arate march from Arlington Na- tional Cemetery to the District War Memorial. The focus of the demonstration was to urge the United States to immediately sign the peace treaty with the North Vietnamese. The SDS-Yippie rally was the one the Washington police worried most about, even though it attract- See 50,000, Page 12 PRESIDENT NIXON takes the oath of office yesterday for his second term from Chief Justi MEETS WITH THIEU: a tobrief Nixonon tialks;fierce fg tigc Speaks of progress at home WASHINGTON U) - Presi- dent Nixon, delivering his sec- ond inaugural address, declar- ed yesterday that the Vietnam war is ending with honor and that "we stand on the thres- hold of a new era of peace in the world." In some respects, the 17-minute oration shared with his first in- augural address emphasis of searching for peace. As he cited foreign policy achievements to yesterday's chilled audience at the Capitol-with spe- cial attention to his Peking and Moscow journeys-Nixon seemed to echo his words of four years ago: "The greatest honor history can bestow is the title of peacemaker. This honor now beckons Amer- ica . The 60-year-old President never specifically mentioned Vietnam or Indochina or the secret Paris peace talks that are to resume Tuesday. However, he did say this is a time during which "America's longest and most difficult war comes to an end." Nixon did not elaborate but, at another point, spoke of the Vietnam war as one in which the United AP Photo States has fought "to help others ce Warren Burger. resist aggression." And he said Americans should be proud of "our steadfastness for peace with honor." Through such initiatives as ac- cords with the Soviet Union and the opening of dialogue with main- p ec land China, through steadfastness in Vietnam, Nixon said, "We have made a breakthrough toward S creating in the world what the world has not hadbefore-a struc- merely for our time, but for gen- 2,000 rounds of artillery and mor- erations to come." tars at South Vietnamese marine The "theme" of the Nixon mes- positions and made ground assaults sage was an exhortation to self- in several locations. reliance by other nations and by In Paris, American and North individual Americans.

Alexander Haig Jr. wrapped up his peace consulta- tions here yesterday and flew to South Korea on his way home. Ie will brief President Nixon today on what the U. S. Asian al- lies think of the proposed Vietnam peace agreement. Haig, Nixon's special peace en- voy, held a 30-minute meetingwith President Nguyen Van Thieu - his thirddwith the South Vietna- mese leader in a week - before emplaning for Seoul. The brevity of the meeting was interpreted as a sign that most major disagree- ments on the peace terms have been dissipated. A spokesman at the U. S. Em- bassy said Haig spent the night in Seoul, and will confer with Presi- dent Chung Hee Park today, then fly on to Washington to report to Nixon. Besides South Vietnam, Haig visited Cambodia, Laos and Thai- land. South Korea apparently was add- ed to his itinerary because of the 35,000 Korean soldiers still sta- tioned in South Vietnam. These troops would withdraw along with the 24,000 remaining Americans under terms of the peace agree- ment believed drawing near. Meanwhile, in the Indochina war, fierce and bloody fighting was re- ported in two far-flung regions of South Vietnam as Saigon's troops battled with North Vietnamese to occupy the best positidns in an- ticipation of an early .cease-fire. The South Vietnamese command claimed 421 North Vietnamese soldiers have been killed since heavy fighting erupted Thursday near the former demilitarized zone and in the Saigon River corridor, far to the south. During the same period ending at' noon yesterday, the command said the South Vietnamese have lost 57 killed and 157 wounded in the two battle areas. The U. S. Command reported that American fighter - bombers logged 353 strikes during the 24- hour period ending at 8 a.m. yes-j terday. Many attacked in support of the South Vietnamese ground units. B52s, the command said, flew 30 missions during the same report- ing period. Each B52 mission gen- erally comprises three planes, making a total of about 90aone- plane strikes. The fighting in Quang Tri re- volved around a North Vietnamese attempt to gain control of a strip of land 13 miles south of the old demarcation line between the two Vietnams at the 17th Parallel. The North Vietnamese fired up to proposal remains in By GORDON ATCHESON Although the Ann Arbor Tran- sit Authority (AATA) has come up with a plan for a new transit system, there remains a serious question as to whether the city will be able to fund it. The system - dubbed Comtran - would combine a dial-a-ride ser- vice with an express bus network, giving patrons door-to-door trans- portation, according to Arthur Sim- sar, an AATA consultant. The problem is that Comtran re- quires an initial investment of two million dollars for the purchase of 68 new buses and garage facilities. The city has applied for a $2.4 million federal grant to defray these costs. But it must provide one third of the funds, or $800,000 itself. Simsar says he is not sure how the money will be raised, al- though he believes "the city could issue a bond." The initial investment, however, is not the only possibleroadbloc facing the new plan. For the city must also maintain an estimated annual operating budget for the system approaching two million rlnlnr gasoline tax will provide enough' funds to cover Comtran's operating budget. "We must have the millage in- crease to go ahead with the transit system," Simsar says. He adds that he is very optimistic about the amendment's chance for approval at the polls. "The proposal provides a g o o d public transit system," says May- or Robert Harris.
