dope notes
If you like green grass-the kind you smoke-think twice
before heading for the fields around Macomb County's Romeo.
State Police report they've picked up two groups of youths pick-
ing dope in as many days. "We've got an awful lot of weed
around here," explained State Police Sgt. Clare Helms. . . .
Meantime, in Burley, Idaho, someone broke into the Cassia
County Courthouse during the weekend and stole a marijuana
plant from the sheriff's office. A deputy said the plant was used
for educational purposes. Investigators said nothing else was
taken, not even the plant's pot.
McGovern trails
DETROIT-Democratic presidential hopeful George McGovern
was still trailing President Nixon in the opinion polls, but by
how much depended on which poll you read. A poll conducted
for Time magazine and the New York Times put McGovern 39
percentage points behind Nixon-23 to 62 per cent. But a new
poll, announced in Detroit last night by veteran sampler Louis
Harris, held out some encouragement for the senator. Harris
said McGovern trailed 31 to 59 per cent, with ten per cent of
the voters undecided-a margin of only 28 points.
Hanoi off-limits
WASHINGTON - A bill to outlaw unauthorized trips by
Americans to nations such as North Vietnam which are in armed
conflict with the United States was approved by the House In-
ternal Security Committee yesterday. The legislation, making
it a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000
fine for Americans to make such a trip without presidential
permission, was approved 5 to 0 after a 45-minute hearing. Rep.
Richard Ichord (D-Mo.), committee chairman, said the legisla-
tion is aimed at actions such as those of actress Jane Fonda who
recently made antiwar broadcasts over Hanoi radio during a
visit to North Vietnam.
air crash investigated
SACRAMENTO - The reason why a privately owned F-86
Sabre jet fighter plunged into an ice cream parlor here Sunday
remained a mystery, as federal investigators held the remains
of the aircraft under tight security wraps at Executive Airport
yesterday. The death toll was 22 persons, 12 of them children.
It was the worst accident of its kind in U.S. aviation history.
Nixon wants money talks
WASHINGTON-With a surprise announcement that the United
States is ready to lay reform proposals on the table, President
Nixon called yesterday for an immediate start on negotiations
to reshape the world's monetary system and trade rules. "The
time has come for action across the entire front of international
economic problems," Nixon told the governors of the 124-nation
International Monetary Fund and the World Bank at the opening
of their annual meetings.

In response to an investigation by
The Daily, the Board of Directors of
the Michigan Union yesterday voted
to suspend its policy of fingerprinting
its check-cashing customers.
Although not on the agenda, the
members voted to suspend Union
manager Stanfield Well's fingerprint-
ing edict of two weeks ago.
Many complained that they had not
been consulted on the fingerprint
policy. Others had civil libertarian
objections to the rule.
None of six board members inter-
viewed by The Daily knew of the
fingerprinting until they were asked 1

reporter.

The board members who objected to
the policy called it "an inconvenience
to students," "inappropriate in a Uni-
versity community," and "a violation
of civil liberties."
Union general manager Stanfield
Wells said yesterday he instituted the
fingerprinting in order to combat
check fraud, which he said costs the
Union $400-$500 a year.
He defended his decision not to
bring the matter before his board,

saying it was "a management de-
cision."
UAC President Richard Booth dis-
agreed, and raised the Issue before
the board after being told by The
i Daily of the fingerprinting policy.
According to UAC's Coordinat-
ing Vice President, Frank Begun, the
decision to suspend fingerprinting was
made after extensive debate in a
closed session,
All fingerprinting will now be sus-
pended at least until the board's Oct.
23 meeting.
According to Begun, the board will
also reconsider the ban on press
coverage of its meetings.

The interim agreement limits the
Soviets to 1,618 land-fired missiles
and the United States to 1,054. It
limits the Soviets to up to 62 sub-
marines with up to 950 missiles
and the United States to 44 sub-
marines with up to 950 missiles.
The Jackson amendment notes
that the U.S.-Soviet defensive anti-

equally to two antimissile sites.
The resolution:
"Urges and requests the Presi-
dent to seek a future treaty that

tegic forces inferior to the limits
provided for the Soviet Union.
The resolution also backs Nix-
on's concept that what it calls "a
vigorous research and develop-
ment and modernization program"
for U.S. forces is needed to keep
pressure on the Soviets to ne-
gotiate a broader arms limitation
treaty.
It also urges Nixon or his suc-
cessor to seek early Strategic

China and other countries "to
eliminate the threat of large-scale
devastation" and free ever-rising
arms costs for peaceful use.

CHINESE PREMIER CHOU EN-LAI greets Japanese Premier
Kakuei Tanaka yesterday at the Peking airport. Tanaka is the
first Japanese premier to visit China since the Chinese revolution.

pla norml relations
PEKING (JP)-Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka expressed Japan's
regret and repentence yesterday for past aggression against China and
joined Premier Chou En-lai in predicting total agreement in their talks
to normalize long-strained relations.
Tanaka used the words "profound self-examination" to express
Japan's feeling about a half century of Japanese military aggression
that left China broken and exhausted. He fell short of an outright
apology because he still must face the extreme right wing of his own
Liberal-Democratic party, which is critical of his reconciliation toward
the mainland Chinese.

Joel Silverstein, the oft-missed
and long sought-after member of
Student Government Council, has
been found in Pacific Grove, Calif.,
over 3,000 miles from the point of
origin of two mysterious telegrams
bearing his name.
A twenty-minute investigation
by The Daily yesterday did what
SGC could not do in a month: Find
the elusive Silverstein. But the
solving of the Silverstein mystery
begins another: who has been
sending the telegrams from Winni-
peg, Canada bearing Silverstein's
name?
"I didn't send any telegram,"
said Silverstein from his Califor-
nia hideaway. "I'm obviously not
in Winnipeg."
Silverstein stated positively that
he had no intentions of relinquish-
ing his SGC seat. "I haven't writ-
ten a letter of resignation," he
said. "Obviously, I'm not resign-
ing."
"I think I can represent the
students from here just as well as
the letters from Detroit

The visit is expected to establish
diplomatic relations between Pe-
king and Tokyo and sever Japan's
22-year-old diplomatic links with
the Nationalist Chinese on Taiwan.
The 74-year-old Chou touched~
briefly on Japanese militarism in
his toast but said, "the past not
forgotten is a guide for the future"
and added that "the Chinese people
make a strict distinction between
the very few militarists and the

people."
He went on to say that it was the
common desire of both countries to
restore diplomatic relations and
asserted, "Now is the time for us
to accomplish this historic task."
