Pig talk irks Harvey The annual battle of words between Mayor Robert Harris and Sheriff Douglas Harvey broke out again this week, right on schedule. Harris told City Council Monday night that the vic- tory of the Ann Arbor Police "Goats" over the Sheriff's Dept. "Pigs" in football last weekend proved the city police's super- iority "in the only'category that was in doubt." Harvey retorted yesterday with doubt that Harris' remark was meant as a joke, adding he was "irked and angered" by the comment. Ah, the leaves of fall,. Well, the summer's gone and we're rapidly approaching another one of Ann Arbor's inimitable winters, so miake the most of the great outdoors while the going's good.

Ferency case 'closed' The case of HRP mogul Zolton Ferency's $100 contribution to Democrat Perry Bullard's campaign is now closed-at least as far as the party's state steering committee is concerned. Ferency announced that he will not reveal on whose behalf he donated the money. The steering committee is prepared to let the, matter drop, but with a reprimand for Ferency's "serious error." Back on the beat City patrolman James Shantz, off duty since July for alleged- ly beating a 17-year-old girl in a police interrogation room, re- turned to his old job at the police department yesterday. Arbi- trator Erwin Ellender ordered Chief Walter Krasny, who had fired Shantz following an investigation of the beating incident, to reinstate him. Ellender said that losing three months' pay was penalty enough, and Shantz's actions did not warrant dis- missal.

Lettuce boycott boost DETROIT - The non-union lettuce boycott received an ui- expected boost yesterday, as the Wayne County Board of Com- missioners voted to buy only Michigan-grown lettuce or lettuce bearing the label of the United Farm Workers. The county buys $10,000 worth of lettuce annually. MCRC power broadened LANSING-The State Legislature this week empowered the Michigan Civil Rights Commission to deal with sex bias as well as racial discrimination. The lawmakers thus plugged a loop- hole in the Fair Employment Practices Act, which had left the commission powerless in cases of sexual discrimination. This means that the commission can once again enforce laws barring discrimination based on sex.

McGovern accused WASHINGTON-The General Accounting Office yesterday referred to the Justice Department three "apparent violations" of the new campaign spending law by Sen. George McGovern's fund-raisers. The GAO said it had found "many instances" of inadequate bookkeeping by McGovern's troops. Lavelle "encouraged" WASHINGTON-Gen. John Lavelle said yesterday he was encouraged by directives from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to order unauthorized air raids over North Vietnam. He said in a letter to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Stennis (D- Miss.) that the Joint Chiefs expected him to employ a "liberal interpretation" of the ban on such raids.

I 149 dead in train accident SALTILLO, Mexico ()-A train speeding down a hill with about 1,600 religious pilgrims aboard de- railed and caught fire, killing 149 persons and injuring 781, police reported yesterday. The police chief of Coahuila state, Genaro Davila, added that rescuers were continuing to dig through the rubble for more vic- tims, nearly 24 hours after the ac- cident. A spokesman for the Mexican National Railways said a prelim- inary investigation showed the train was traveling about 75 mph, at the time of the accident, twice the speed permitted on a down- hill curve such as the train was approaching. The official said the brakes ap- parently functioned, but could not slow the train sufficiently because of the speed. The drivers of the two engines pulling the 22-car train were only slightly injured and were being questioned by authori- ties. Survivors said the train had been approaching the Moreno Bridge south of Saltillo about midnight Thursday when the engine over- turned and several cars jammed together and caught fire. Some en- tire families were reported killed. A newsman who flew over the crash site said, "It looked like at least half the cars were off the track, and none of them seemed to be seated normally. "Three or four of the cars were upside down, some were piled on top of one' an- other," he added. "About a dozen ambulances were standing by with other emergency vehicles." A correspondent for the Laredo, Tex., Times reported from Sal- tillo "the whole city has been mo- bilized. Businesses and movie the- aters have been closed. Hundreds of people are donating blood at private clinics and hospitals." Group thi register ja By REBECCA WARNER Last minute attempts to register prison inmates to vote failed local- ly yesterday as Washtenaw County Jail officials claimed that none of the eligible prisoners wished to be registered. The eleventh hour registration drive stemmed from a ruling by af Detroit judge that jail inmates must be allowed to register. The deadline for registration for the I Measure squeezes, by; 56-31 By ERIC SCHOCH special To The Daily LANSING-The State House of Representatives yesterday, by a 56-31 vote, added Michi- gan to the growing list of states that have adopted no- fault vehicle insurance. Gov. William Milliken's approval of the bill, which would make it. law, seems a certainty at this point. The action came on the last day of the legislative session before the election recess. Before voting on the bill, the Representatives met in party caucuses fortmore than 2/2 hours to discuss its provisions, which differ greatly from the original no-fault bill passed by the House. The bill was passed by the Sen- ate Thursday. The House did not debate the bill on the floor, but voted almost immediately after the caucuses. The 56 "aye" votes cast were the exact number needed for pass- age. The absence of several rep- resentatives from, the floor con- tributed to the closeness of the vote. Under provisions of the bill, which covers all vehicles except motorcycles, claimantscancre- ceive: -Unlimited "reasonable" medi- cal expenses and funeral and burial costs up to $1,000; -Wages lost because of injury for a period of up to three years plus a maximum of $20 per day to cover the cost of servicesdwhich the injured claimants would nor- mally perform themselves; and, -As much as $21,900 over a period of three years in "survivors losses" for dependents of those killed in accidents to replace "tan- gible things of economic value" which the victim would have pro- vided. The law, which goes into effect April 1, 1973, will require all state motorists to maintain personal pro- tection coverage for medical ex- See SENATE, Page 8 AP Photo Bicycle built for???

SLAM 'GAG RULE': Dems to defy atergate edict WASHINGTON (AP)-Sen, George McGovern's (D - S.D.) advisors yesterday called the court order against public discussion of the Watergate affair a "gag rule" on a major campaign issue and asked a federal judge to say it doesn't apply to Democrats. President Nixon's aides, mean- while, denied a report that memos describing Democrats' wiretapped conversations in their Watergate national headquar- ters were sent directly to a White House aide and two Nixon re-election officials. A story that Memos on Water- gate wiretaps went to Nixon's assistant for congressional rela- tions and to two officials of the re-election campaign committee was published yesterday by the Washington Post. The Post also said, in a sepa- rarted in attempt to i1 inmates to vote Nov. 8 election was yesterday, at 8 p.m. However, members of the local Committee for a New Understand- ing of Justice (NUJ) claimed that inmates were denied their right to register, since Sheriff D o u g l a s Harvey refused city registrars ac- cess to the prisoners. City Clerk Harold Saunders said yesterday morning that he had asked Harvey to conduct a survey of the inmates to see if any wanted to register. The survey, conducted by sheriff's deputies, resulted in no requests for registration - ac- cording to prison officials. However, NUJ a t t o r n e y Tom? Bentley claimed to have heard through less official sources that two inmates haddaskeddto register. EPrison officials decided these two men could not register, according to Bentley, since one would still be in prison during the November elections, and the other would be outside the local jurisdiction. NUJ spokespersons said such questions should be decided by the courts, not by the sheriff's depart- ment. But when Bentley and deputy registrar Jay Hack attempted to register the two inmates last night, they were not allowed to talk to the two men. NUJ spokeswoman Gwen John- son considers the deputies' poll in- sufficient enforcement of the in- mates' right to register. "Without casting aspersions on the deputies, I can't imagine that the rapport between the prisoners and their jailers is such as to allow the prisoner to express their feelings," Johnson said. She point- ed out that registrars, as well as performing registration, have a "primary" function of "encourag- ing people to register." A source inside the jail said yesterday that allowing registrars to talk to prisoners directly would have presented too severe a "per- sonnel problem," since sheriff's de- partment employes would have had to supervise each meeting. Johnson said the present handl- ing of inmate registration "leaves out people because they're poor." Most of the county jail's approx- imately 100 inmates are in prison awaiting trial and unable to pay bond. Few have- been convicted ef a felony, which would make them ineligible to vote. rate story, that a $100,000 con- tribution to Nixon's campaign originated in the bank account of Gulf Resources and Chemical Corp. in Houston. The newspaper said the con- tribution traveled a circuitous route through Mexico before getting to Nixon's campaign headquarters. McGovern's campaign mana- ger, Lawrence O'l rien, said at a news conference that attempts to get a no-discussion court order were "evidence ofathe lengths to which Mr. Nixon and his admin- istration will go to keep a tight lid on this unprecedented act of political espionage." O'Brien said he, McGovern, and vice - presidential nominee Sargent Shriver will continue to talk about the Watergate case, on advice of counsel. He an- nounced they have asked U. S. District Court Judge John Sirica to confirm their stand that his order does not apply to the Dem- ocratic candidates or O'Brien. Sirica on Wednesday ordered principals in the case not to dis- cuss it in public so that trial of seven men indicted in the case would not be jeopardized. The order was requested by the law- yer of one of the defendants, E. Howard Hunt Jr. O'Brien said Democrats will challenge the order as far as the Supreme Court if Sirica rules they are bound by it. But O'Brien refused to say, under repeated questioning, whe- ther he would go to jail if neces- sary. The memos mentioned in the Post story drew a rebuttal from White House press secretary Ronald Ziegler, who told news- men he had denied before that the President's aide, William Timmons, had received such memos; that he was denying, it_ again, and that he had "nothing further to say." A spokesman, for the Presi- dent's re-election committee al- so denied that such memos went to Robert Odle Jr., the commit- tee's director ,of administration, and to J. Glenn Sedam, general counsel of the campaign organiz- ation. The Post said Alfred Baldwin III, ansex-FBI agent who says he transcribed the wiretapped conversations, "is known to have told the FBI" that the memos were addressed to the three officials. RC director Robertson reportedly leaving post Highly reliable University sources have told The Daily that it is like- ly James Robertson, director of the Residential College (RC), will leave his post at the end of next term. Robertson, however,awill stay on in his capacity as an associate dean of the literary college. Robertson, was appointed RC director in 1967, when the college was formed. Although his appoint- ment was set f r a four-year term, literary c o 11l e g e Dean Frank Rhodes extended the term one year and that extension will be up in April. According to Edward Dougherty, assistant to the LSA Dean, a search committee will at "some point" be set up to consider the selection of a new director. Dougherty said that to his knowl- edge Robertson would be included in the list of candidates for the post. Sources indicated that the door has been left open for Robertson to be reappointed if he is interested, but that "it seems unlikely politi- cally" that this would be the case. Robertson could not be reached for comment. The popular dean recently took on added duties outside the RC, when he was named "ombuds- man" in the literary college, where he will be involved in solv- ing disputes between faculty and administration. Robertson has been associate dean of the literary college since 1957.

Whiskey the wonder steals fans' hearts By DEBBIE ALLEN What has four legs, a curly tail, an eye for touchdowns, and gets fan mail? Why, Whiskey the wonder dog, of course. A seven-year-old fox terrier and the unofficial mascot of the Wolverines, Whiskey has been making touchdowns for the University at every home football game since her debut five years ago at the Michigan-Michigan State game. Since then, she has risen to nationwide fame. Especially well-known at all the nearby Big Ten universities, she has even By CHARLES STEIN When you give your ticket to the man at the gate at today's football game, you probably think you are just in for an afternoon of recreation. Little do you realize that you are actually a small cog in what amounts to a big business operation. What eventually happens to the profits from this enterprise is the focus of a long-standing dispute between the athletic department and its critics. With all this taken into account, Canham esti- mates that the average ticket price is somewhere around three dollars per person. If the crowds do reach expected levels, and barring earth- quakes they probably will, the athletic depart- ment will gross nearly a quarter of a million dollars a game. Canham adds, however, that at games like Michigan State' where sellouts of 101,000 are INTRAMURALS IGNORED Grid take: Who gets what?
