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.

(-- 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 brief s ( issin er; tor1orrow resume AP Photo ROBERT CHLOPAK, nationwide coordinator for the toy safety study, holds up a toy during a news conference in Washington yesterday.

Mci~it toy) Nixon aides 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. lege. carried out with the same distinc- -1- V ..-. eR " National results were announced tion that has marked the entire by Ralph Nader's Public Interest series of negotiations in which Dr. Research Group in Washington.

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.
