Dope Notes
District Judge Sandorf Elden has reaffirmed his decision
voiding the controversial five dollar fine provision in the city's
marijuana ordinance. Last September, Elden declared the five
dollar fine section to be unconstitutional because it limited the
discretionary sentencing power of his court. Following that
ruling the. city attorney's office entered a memorandum ques-
tioning the court's right to declare the law unconstitutional.
Elden, in a decision handed down Nov. 16, rejected the city
attorney's claims and held that his court acted within its rights.
City Attorney Jerold Lax is seeking an appeal.
Lottery luck
24,000 people around the state became $25 richer over the
Thanksgiving vacation as the state held the first lottery drawing.
The winning numbers: 130 or 544. Daily Sports Editor John
Papanek was one of the lucky few who won with the number
130. Asked what he would do with his $25 he said, "I'll buy a
crying towel for Bo Schembechler." Small-time winners now
have a chance at the grand prizes of between $10,000 and $200,000.

Capitalist conspiracy?
Noted radicals Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman are no longer
official spokesmen for the Yippie movement. About a hundred
representatives of the Youth International Party voted to exclude
the two, a spokesperson said, because the members thought that
Rubin and Hoffman might be using the party for personal gain.
The spokesperson claimed that Rubin and Hoffman had been
charging high speaking fees, none of which has gone to the
party. The group also felt the two had been responsible for
calling off or quelling what it thought were peaceful and neces-
sary demonstrations. Hoffman, however was unimpressed. "I
haven't considered myself a leader of that party for several
years. As far as I'm concerned, it's all pretty boring."
Calley appeals for clemency
FT. BENNING, Ga.-Three Army clemency and parole offi-
cers spent nearly two hours yesterday with Lt. William Calley
Jr., sentenced to 20 years for the deaths of 22 Vietnamese
civilians at My Lai, then left without giving any indication of
what the soldier told them. The 29-year-old lieutenant has been
under house arrest in his apartment on this infantry post since
April 1, 1971. Under ordinary circumstances, a Clemency and
Parole Board panel would have considered parole for Calley after
one-third of his 20-year sentence had been served. Calley, a
former platoon leader was originally sentenced to life imprison-
ment. The life term later was reduced to 20 years.

terday top Nazi Martin Bormann was sheltered in this country
after the Second World War, but could not confirm newspaper
reports that Hitler's deputy still lived here. Weekend reports
published by the New York Daily News and the London Daily
Express claimed Bormann was living at a remote ranch in the
northern Argentine province of Salta. The intelligence sources
said other Nazis, arrived in Argentina with Bormann after the
war and were sheltered, particularly by Vittorio Mussolini, son
of the Italian dictator.

years after they were first proposed.' Public Works Minister

Antonino Gullotti has authorized an international competition
under which Italian and foreign concerns have one year to
present schemes to stop the famous marble tower from crashing
to the ground. The decision follows an anxious chorus of warn-
ings from experts, who declared early in November that the
tower's lean had been gathering momentum for years while
Roman bureaucrats fiddled.
.Ops, we goofed
In an article in last Wednesday's Daily on the Advcoates
for Medical Information, the AMI was quoted as saying that
possible side effects from the morning-after pill range from
lockjaw to hallucinations. The AMI did not make that state-
ment. Clinical pharmacologist Joseph Graedon was described
by members of AMI as a "doctor." However, he has a master's
degree in pharmacology. The Daily regrets the errors.


Ward
By DAVID BURHENN

Daily News Analysis
After six months of haggling, the
city's Ward Boundary Commission will
present the City Council with four plans
for redistricting tomorrow night.
Despite a compromise reached be-
tween Democrats and Human Rights
Party commissioners, it is not at all
clear that any of the plans will be
accepted.
Plans that will be considered in-
clude:
-the majority or "Black Plan"-a
Democrat - HRP compromise w h i c h
would favor the chances of those two
parties at the expense of the GOP,
-the "Green Plan"-an earlier HRP-
GOP compromise generally viewed as
granting the Republicans three of the
five wards,
-the "Red Plan"-an early HRP pro-
posal, and

boundaries

fi

-the "Prior Commission Plan" - a
plan worked out by the old boundary
commission which was dominated by
Democrats.
While the Black Plan received sup-
port from both HRP and Democratic
commissioners, it now appears that
Democrats on City Council may not
go along with their representatives on
the commission.
Council member Robert Faber (D-2nd
Ward) last night called all boundary
proposals except the Prior Commission
plan "the cheapest kind of gerryman-
dering. The prior commission plan, pre-
sented nearly a year ago," he said,
"is the only one I can find that at-
tempts to follow the provisions of the
city charter. I don't care if the plan
loses every seat on council for the
Democrats . . . it's the only plan with
any integrity at all. I can't be a party
to such obvious gerrymandering."

Faber's colleague Nelson Meade (D-
3rd Ward) is also unhappy with the
Black plan. "It doesn't meet charter
requirements that the boundaries are
compact, and especially it does not
achieve that provision in -:harter that
wards are designed to be as represent-
ative of the whole community as pos-
sible," he said.
Steve Nissen, boundary commission
chairman and HRP member, indicated
that HRP council members Jerry D.
Grieck (HRP-1st Ward) and Nancy
Wechsler (HRP-2nd Ward) would voto
for the Black Plan. However, Nissen
said that if this proposal does not pass,
"we're going to vote with the Republi-
cans. The Black Plan was an effort
to accommodate the Democrats, bu: if
they won't go along with it, we'll vote
the Green Plan."

servers, would give the Republicans

special to The Daily
PONTIAC - Five students
were wounded yesterday at
Pontiac Central High School
when an unnamed youth
pulled a gun and started
shooting, apparently at ran-
dom, during a 10:15 a.m. class
break at the school.
Police last night were still
searching for a 16-year-old black
student who they refused to name
-their only suspect in the case.
Though police and school offic-
ials denied the shootings had racial
overtones, the Pontiac school sys-
tem has been the site of racial
disturbances in the past. Two
years ago, five students were shot
at Central in what was deemed a
racial incident. In August 1971,
several Pontiac school buses were
dynamited in reaction to court-
ordered integration by busing.
Seriously wounded was Timothy
Williams,y15, who had one kidney
removed in an emergency opera-
tion at Pontiac General Hospital
yesterday after a bullet entered
through his back and passed
through the kidney and out his ab-
domen.
(UPI reported late last night that
the gunman has been tentatively
identified as a 16-year-old Pontiac
Central sophomore. Pontiac police
refused to release a name, and no
arrest has been made as yet. Ac-
cording to police reports the shoot-
ing followed an arguement between
Williams and the gunman. Wil-
liams turned his back to walk
away and his assailant started
shooting, the police said.)
The four others wounded were
Nancy Worley, GlenwHahn and
Terry Kilburn, who were released
from the hospital in good condition
and Kathy Winton, who was also in
good condition but still hospitaliz-
ed yesterday. All are 15-year-old
sophomores at Pontiac Central. Of
the five, four were white, one
black.
The shootings took place in a
fenced-in passageway between the
school's two buildings, where stu-
dents normally gather to smoke

CINCINNATI OP) - A federal
appeals court refused yesterday
to consider a request that the
