Rooney again victorious
Rep. John Rooney (D-N.Y.), center, delivers a victory statement late Tuesday night after defeating
Allard Lowenstein in the Democratic primary in Brooklyn's 14th congressional district. The election
was a courteordered rerun of an earlier spring primary, also won by Rooney. The new election was
called because of ballot tampering. Lowenstein again expressed dissatisfaction with the way in which
the election was conducted.

deliberate
Justice Dept. can
prosecute lower
level Ford execs
WASHINGTON (A -The
Environmental P r o t e c tion
Agency (EPA) sent the Justice
Department evidence yester-
day of alleged tampering by
Ford Motor Co. employes with
the antipollution tests on
Ford's 1973 cars.
EPA asked the department to
take anpronriate acton.
EPA Administrator W i llI i a m
Rucljeshans wrote to Atty. Gen.
Richard Kleindienst that "there is
evidence" that the test tampering.
first reported to EPA by Ford
itself, was deliberate.
Because of unanthorized main-
tenance on Ford's test vehicles, its
original antipollution test results
were withdrawn and the company
was reauired to repeat its full
50.000-mile testing on 1973-model
auto eneines.
Ruckelshaus allowed the com-
pany to shin its new cars to deal-
ers. However, he forbade their
sale until the new tests show that
they meet federal clean-air stan-
dards.
In his letter to Kleindienst,
Ruckelshaus praised Ford top
executives for reporting the prob-
ler Volu ntarily.
"However." he added, "this
commendable action by top cor-'
norate management cannot, in our
ju~dement m-ake lawful the action
of Ford employes who were respon-
sible for the conduct and reporting',
of emission tests required by fed-:
eral law."
Ruckelshaus said evidence "in-
dicates that employes of Ford did
perform unauthorized, unreported
maintenance oft 1973 certification'
vehicles and committed other acts
in violation of the regulation" un-
der the 1970 Clean Air Amendments
requiring reductions of auto ex-
haust emissions.
"There is evidence," he wrote,'
"indicating that the performance
of unauthorized maintenance on j
1973 test vehicles and the failure'
to report such maintenance was
directed and condoned by super-
visory employes who were aware
of the illegal nature of such a
practice."
An EPA spokesman said the al-
leged violations are punishable by
both criminal and civil penalties.
An EPA spokesman said federal
laws provide penalties up to $10,-
000 fine and five years imprison-
ment upon conviction for such al-
leged violations.

Gregory:. Comedian and critic

By JIM KENTCH
"Can you people in the cheap seats hear okay?"
Dick Gregory, the comedian, began jokingly
last night at the Power Center. But suddenly he
was the comedian no longer. "You don't have
any more tricks left in dealing with minorities,"
Dick Gregory, now the social critic told the
whites in the audience. "Now you have to deal
with us directly."
The near-capacity, predominantly black audi-
ence raucously laughed and applauded Gregory's
jokes about Clifford Irving, airplane hijackings,
and Thomas Eagleton. But when Gregory turned
to comments about "this sick, degenerate sys-
tem," they were struck silent, managing only a
smattering of applause and a few cries of "Right
on!"

get my thing together and I don't care how upset
you get."
The young white in this country is "the new
nigger," he contended. "If any of you have any
doubts, just look at Kent State. But I expect a
slimy degenerate mentality like that of this coun-
try not to be able to see right from wrong."
Toward the end of his speech Gregory offered
some ways for constructive change. He urged
people to register to vote but to register inde-
pendent because "you don't have the fight to
select, just elect." He also added that Ann Arbor
is lucky to have an independent party.
Youth has the ultimate answer, said Gregory.
"Love. You have to love and respect yourself.
You are your brother's keeper the world over.
