Boundaries: Chap. 982
In the next of a growing number of steps towards redistrict-
ing Ann Arbor, City Council will hold an open hearing tomorrow
at 7:30 p.m. on the proposed ward boundary plan-an HRP-Re-
publican effort - and then hold their final (maybe) vote on the
complex boundary issue. Meanwhile, the Human Rights Party
(HRP) is asking constituents to call Democratic council mem-
bers Nelson Meade (D-Third Ward), Bob Faber (D-Second Ward)
and Mayor Robert Harris to urge them to compromise with
HRP so that Republicans don't get control of the city, as seems
likely if the present plan is adopted.

Busing: Who pays?
A coalition of citizens groups filed a $46.4 million lawsuit
Friday in the state Court of Appeals, accusing the state of dis-
criminating against Detroit school children by failing to pay
for their bus transportation while financing that of suburban
students. The 1966 law provides state transportation money when
students travel over one-and-one-half miles and across city or
village boundaries. It discriminates, however, against 350,000
Detroit pupils who travel more than one-and-one-half miles but
do not cross boundary lines, they claim. The suit seeks to declare
the 1966 act unconstitutional, and demand state provisions for
future transportation, plus repayment of $46.4 million spent by
Detroit residents to send children to school since the law was
passed six years ago.
Clipping Apollo's wi ngs
Negotiations continued yesterday between Boeing Co. and
dissatisfied workers, whose threatened strike could postpone
Wednesday's Apollo 17 launch. Although the writers and illus-
trators who will strike do not play a vital part in the Apollo
mission, NASA fears a walk-out by technical space workers in
sympathy with the strikers. The strike is scheduled to begin to-
morrow, during the critical final stage of the couitdown, but
NASA has hedged its bets by seeking a court injunction pre-
venting the walk-out. Meanwhile, back at the launch pad, astro-
nauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt and Ronald Evans stayed
in practice for the mission by flying their personal jets in the
Florida sunshine. NASA said if Apollo 17 is not launched by Dec.
7, the shot would have to be postponed until January at a cost
of at least $2.5 million.
Indian giver?
Interior Sec. Roger Morton yesterday stripped supervision of
Indian affairs from the three top men involved and took personal
command over the controversial facet of his department. Since
the six-day occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)
last month, internal name-calling and squabbling among BIA
officials has raged, and Morton justified the action, saying "I be-
lieve it is essential to the well-being of the American Indian that
we return our Indian programs to operational effectiveness
without delay." Asked what Asst. Sec. of the Interior Harrison
Loesch, BIA Commissioner Louis Bruce and Dept. BIA Commis-
sioner John Crow will do now, a White House spokesman said
they will continue on the job to advise Morton. Does this mean
they will report to work and wait to be consulted, a reporter
asked. "That's right," said the spokesperson.

be in the mid-30's during the day, and as low as 20 tonight.
One could even feel sorry for oneself, but as a public serv-

been hit with a blizzard producing three feet of snow and
temperatures of-about 40 degrees below zero. Count your

Nixon
talks
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (--
U.S. negotiator Henry Kissin-
ger got final instructions from
President Nixon yesterday in
a four-hour Florida meeting
before leaving for Paris to
resume peace talks with the
North Vietnamese.
Kissinger is due in the French
capital tonight with the talks set
to begin tomorrow after a nine-day
recess in which both sides have
had a chance to reassess their
positions.
White House spokesman Ronald
Ziegler declined to commentton
reports continuing to persist that
the United States might be ready
to sign a separate peace agreement
despite South Vietnam's objections.
Saigon Radio officially suggested
that possibility yesterday.
Meanwhile, the influential Paris
newspaper Le Monde said yester-
day that a ceasefire in Vietnam
could be declared between Dec.
12 and 15.
The independent daily, in a dis-
patch from its Saigon correspon-
dent Jean-Claude Pomonti, said the
South Vietnamese government
seemed to be working on the basis
of' a ceasefire taking effect during
this period.
LeMonde said the Saigon govern-
ment is reported to have ordered
the army and the administration
to take all measures necessary to
prepare for the declaration of a
ceasefire from Dec. 12.
Ziegler said it was inappropriate
to talk about the final agreement
when the negotiations on the cease-
fire agreement were under way.
He said the new round of Paris
talks was expected to last several
days and that Kissinger would be
returning to Washington afterwards
to report personally to Nixon.
"There will be further consulta-
tions with the South Vietnamese
after this round of talks, too,"
Ziegler said, "but I can't predict
the course of events after the
meeting."
He continued to repeat previous
White House statements that Nixon
wants to achieve "a just and last-
ing settlement as rapidly as pos-
sible."
Referring to the forthcoming
Paris talks, Ziegler offered the
comment thati"the President is
certain the negotiations will be

"It was the most macabre Christmas shopping you've

Public Interest Research Group in Michigan (PIRGIM).
In a statewide investigation-part of a 15 state survey-
Tuchinsky and 29 student volunteers turned up 22 toy items
banned as unsafe by the federal Food and Drug Administra-

Workers
,strike at
local bar
By GORDON ATCHESON
Mackinac Jack's, a bar on Ash-
ley St., was crippled last night as
workers walked off the job at the
height of the weekend rush.
The bar's employes claim the
manager, Mary Bartolomei, had
been fired without notice or reason
by the owner.
Fifteen employes, including bar-
tenders, waiters, and bouncers,
walked out at about 11 p.m. The
more than 200 patrons reportedly
became unruly and demanded
their money refunded.
"The employes were just tired
of being pushed around," said Bar-
tolomei. Added another striker,
"We didn't like the way she was
fired because the same thing could
happen to us."
"The incident is a small man-
agement problem that is being tak-
en care of," declared the owner
Mary Starkwether.
Within half an hour after the
walk out, a picket line had been
formed outside the bar, strike-
breaking bartenders had arrived,
The strikers have demanded Bar-
tolomei be reinstated and then giv-
en proper notice of dismissal.

Airport expansion
killed
by council?
By GORDON ATCHESON
Two weeks ago City Council passed a resolution
preventing the expansion of Ann Arbor's Munici-
pal Airport. Mayor Robert Harris pronounced,
"The matter of the airport expansion is politically
dead."
Some observers, however, aren't quite ready for
a post-mortem. "Ann Arbor residents will have to
fight airport expansion all over again in the near
the airport to pay all debts and have money left
for future expansion."
DeGrieck and Linda Chessler, a leader in the
fight against airport expansion, believe that the
way is still clear for the council to reverse its
decision.
Along with the resolution to deny airport expan-
sion, the council authorized the city administration
to apply for a Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) grant for a study of the question of expan-
The reason is that Ann Arborites
can buy non-returnable containers
elsewhere and still litter in Ann
Arbor, says Harris. "Also there's
the possibility that there may be
a gain in roadside litter," Harris
adds since "those persons anti-
social enough to throwncontainers
out the window will continue to do
so no matter what."
Harris divides the "costs" of
banning non-returnable containers
into three categories.
First, he says, "It is possible
that companies such as Canada

ufacture products in returnable
