Legal action is expected to be the next step, according to Write-on representative James McCarthy, who says he would welcome it as a chance to find out how the University acquired a pur- chase order from his company's files. Paul Fisher, a law stu- dent assisting in the University's investigation, admitted he had a purchase order, but how he got it was "very privileged infor- mation." So was everything else apparently, at least to Uni- versity Attorney Roderick Deane, who politely but firmly declined comment. Chemistry committee comment.. . The chemistry department committee reviewing the con- troversial Mark Green affair has issued a progress report, including a statement that the review of Green's teaching "performance" will be "limited to the conduct of Chemistry 227 in the Fall Term of 1972," and assuring anxious Green supporters that the review will not deal with "questions of promotion and tenure." The committee, though promising to proceed "rapidly," does not foresee completing its work before next week. . .. and a student committee As an outgrowth of last Friday's mass meeting in support of Prof. Green, a committee of students last night examined the week's events and found both good and bad. The Steering Committee of the "Ad Hoc Group Supporting Mark Green & Student Parity," or so they say, applauded Green's reinstate- ment to his teaching duties, but raised questions about the re- view committee, the University "complicity in war research," and procedures that may potentially "usurp the right of students and faculty to define for themselves the nature of their studies." Students in Chemistry 227, Green's course, can testify before the review committee tomorrow and Friday. Another oops For those who scurried to Detroit yesterday to see George McGovern before he spoke to that city's Economic Club, we're sorry. The candidate is speaking at an Economic Club luncheon today-we were 24 hours off. Hope for Halpert? Even the generally conservative Detroit News has recognized the Human Rights Party. The News' private poll on the stte's U.S. Senate race gives HRP's Barbara Halpert one per cent of the vote in November. Halpert, as the top of HRP's ticket, needs 15,000 votes in this election or HRP loses its status on the ballot as a minoity party. According to state election officials, voters in the state total 4.8 million, so some quick math will tell you that HRP will be in the political safety zone again if the News' poll is correct. Nancy Burghardt, HRP's local coordinator, is "happy, but I don't know where they got all of those people. We figure we need at least 10,000 in Ann Arbor to pull us through." Revelant religion The First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor obviously doesn't feel constrained by that old time religion. Its roadside sign reads: Those who wish to travel with him-Jesus says-Give up your Linus blankets. Pulling a snow job Just as we predicted, it snowed yesterday, even if you didn't see it. One reader called to report a full five flakes seen en route from Detroit to Ann Arbor. Other sources tell of an- other five flakes-these were sighted between Lansing and Ann Arbor.

Police nab 14 in raids studios on two massage Daily ONE OF SEVERAL suspects is led away yesterday from the American Massage Parlor by a city policeman. CITES BUDGET: Nixon vetoes bill to endwaterplti WASHINGTON AP - President Nixon last night vetoed a $24.6-billion bill aimed at ridding America's waters of all pollution by 1985. Nixon said any spending bill this year which would lead to higher prices and taxes "defies signature by this presi- dent." He said, "I have nailed my colors to the mast on this issue; the political winds can blow where they may." He had asked for a water-pollution bill that would have committed $6 billion in federal funds over a three-year period and he called the bill which came to his desk "a stag- gering, budget-wrecking $24 billion." r' He said every dollar this bill asked above his proposal "would exact a price from the consumer in the form of in- -flated living costs or from By JONATHAN MILLER Feature Editor Squads of city police yes- terday raided two local "mas- sage studios," emerging with 14 prisoners, customer records and a quantity of mari- juana." After conducting a thorough search of the two establishments, they closed them down as "houses of prostitution." The 14 arrested were held in the county jail on an assortment of vice charges. The massagestudios, described by one officer as the most exten- sive vice operations in the city's history, were simultaneously raid- ed by the police shortly before 4 p.m. At least a dozen officers emerg- ed from unmarked cars and rushed through the doors at the Ceasar's Retreat Health- and Massage Stu- dio, 212 W. Huron St., and the American Massage Parlor, 215 S. Foutrth Ave. While curious rush hour pass- ersby stopped and stared, offic- ers led handcuffed suspects out of the two businesses and into await- ing paddywagons. Most of those arrested held their hands over their faces to avoid recognition. One young woman who was watching the arrests at the Amer- ican Massage Parlor was arrest- ed by an officer on the sidewalk, apparently because she was re- cognized as a studio employe. City police told The Daily yes- terday that they suspected organ- ized crime was behind one or both of the massage establishments. Further, police said, it was thought that an extortion racket might be in operation at the American Massage Parlor, involv- ing the blackmail of customers. Both establishments operate as "clubs," the police said, restrict- ing their clientele to those who pay a monthly or yearly fee. An additional fee is charged for each session at the studio, police said. At least three of those arrested yesterday were described by in- vestigating officers as the "big fish" in the local operations of the companies. The police stressed, however, that the real operators of the two establishments could be conceal- ed behind "10 layers of phony companies." By l-st night, the police were prepared to release the names of only three of those arrested. They were Dan Davis, 28, and Melanie Lingoes, 20, allegedly employed by the American Massage Parlor; and Deborah Green, 19, allegedly employedby Ceasar'shRetreat. The three were charged with "pandering" - enticing or solicit- ing to prostitution - a felonyr See MASSAGE, Page 10 I, Daily Photo by ROLFE TESSEM POLICE MEN AND WOMEN usher a young woman to a waiting paddie wagon during yesterday's raid on the American Massage Parlor. i s CItywants pot ruling reargued By DAVE BURHENN City Attorney Jerald Lax yes- terday went before District Judge Sandorf Elden to ask him forda rehearing of his ruling that de- clared Ann Arbor's $5.00 mari- juana penalty to be unconstitu- tional. On September 29, Elden had thrown out the low fine, claiming that it limited the discretionary sentencing powers of his court. The City Attorney yesterday asked for the rehearing on two principal grounds. First, Lax contended the pro- cedure followed by Judge Elden in his original ruling "did not give weight to the parties involv- ed." The City Attorney argued that the decision was made with- out a hearing with counter-argu- ments. Lax also argued against the judge's interpretation of state law regarding the powers of a munici- pality to set limits on sentences. It appearshthat Judge Eldenhwill grant the rehearing, and may have already ordered one, but that fact could notbe establishedtat yesterday's hearing. Judge Elden ?was unavailable for comment. the taxpayer in the form of a new federal tax bite or both." The Smate early this morning voted to override the veto. The House is expected to vote on over- riding the veto this afternoon. Nixon said he was prepared for the possibility that his veto would be overridden by Congress, say- ing, "The defeat of my proposal for a spending ceiling showed that many senators and congressmen are simply AWOL in our fight against higher taxes." He said if his veto is not sus- tained, the issue will be clearly drawn. "As with the spending ceiling, so with this bill, a vote to sustain the veto is a vote against a tax increase. A vote to override the veto is a vote to increase the likelihood of higher taxes." Nixon said the bill provides a measure of spending discretion and flexibility which the Presi- dent can exercise. "And if forced to administer this legislation, I mean to use those provisions to put the brakes on budget - wrecking expenditures as much as possible." Ie said that if his veto is sus- tained, it would be no means ter- minate existing federal water- quality programs. He maintained that the Environ- mental Protection Agency will continue to operate those pro- grams "until the merits of a new bill can be dealt with as a first order of business in the Congress."

See MASSAGE, Page 10 Searchi still on for Boggs, companions, The Senate last night refused to give President Nixon broad au- thority to keep spending within a $250-billion ceiling during this fis- cal year. The vote to turn down the com- promise hammered out by a Sen- ate House conference was 39 to 27. The House had passed it, 166 to 137 vote. Earlier, the House and Senate cleared a compromise Social Se- curity bill increasing benefits by $6 billion. The Social Security bill easily passed the House by a 305 to 1 vote and the Senate by a 61 to 0 margin, marking a lig step to- VITAMINS, MIRACLES? Davis: You are what you eat ward Congress' hoped-for ad- journment. It still must be signed by President Nixon. The fight over the spending ceil- ing requested by the Nixon ad- ministration is the major issue remaining to be settled before the 92nd Congress can end its ses- sion. The Social Security bill would raise payroll taxes to pay for the liberalized benefits. The maximum tax on a worker, matched bynhis employer, would be $631.80 next year, compared with $468 this year. But part of the increase would occur even under present law, which would set the maxi- mum for 1973 at $594. While the bill was hailed by most members as improving the programs it covers, others chided Congress - especially the Sen- ate - for failing once again to in- clude reform of the welfare sys- tem in the measure. The welfare reform section, which the House passed last year in essentially the form recom- mended by President Nixon, was drastically revised by the Senate. Congress, unable to reach a com- promise, deleted the whole title. Welfare reform died in the pre- vious Congress under similar cir- cumstances.
