Government probes
GM file destruction

WASHINGTON OP)-The Cen-
ter for Auto Safety said yester-
day that General Motors appears
to have doomed to the paper
shredder its files on a problem
with the steering systems of 1959
and 1960 Cadillacs.
The center, which has asked
the Justice Department to in-
vestigate GM's handling of the
issue, wrote Transportation Sec-
retary John A. Volpe asking him
to obtain all of the firm's perti-
nent documents.
The center said the documents
are headed for destruction be-
cause of a GM decision to retain
customer complaint and product
failure records for one year,in-
stead of the three years they
were kept under what the center
said was an unwritten'policy.
GM declined comment until it
can study the letter.
The center said the record re-
tention policy was changed after
it charged on Aug. 30 that GM
records s h o w e d the steering
failures to be a safety defect,
yet GM decided not to report the
alleged defect, as required by

law.
The c e n t e r cited reliable
sources within GM but declined
to name them.
The center was f'ounded by
Ralph Nader, but in a recent
controversy over a $10,000 grant
received from the * American
Trial Lawyers Association, then
refused, Nader said the center's
director is neither his employe
nor representative.
Nader, in a separate interview,
called the Cadillac case "a very
serious violation of the law.
There's no question GM is now
in a turmoil."
The Traffic Safety Act was
passed six years after the Cadil-
lacs were manufactured, but
Nader contended the law applies
to cars still on the road, regard-
less of when they were made.
The center's director, Lowell
Dodge, said initially that 18,000
pitman arms were replaced on
the 285,000 Cadillacs produced in
1959 and X1960. Dodge estimated
100.000 of the cars are still on
the road.

The University has ordered its
operating units not to spend ap-
proximately one per cent of
their allocated funds this year.
Though the cuts may not be
felt on campus immediately, they
may eventually mean more
closed class sections and fewer
new teaching fellows this year.
The cutback was caused by a
gap between incoming state rev-
enues and rising operating costs,
especially in the area of student
aid, according to Vice President
for Academic Affairs A 11 a n
Smith.

The order came after the State
Legislature cut both the Univer-
sity's and Gov. Milliken's re-
quests for increases in student
aid funds and faculty salaries.
The request was part of the
higher education bill.
The University had originally
asked for a total budget increase
of $18 million, with $2.7 million of
this in additional student aid
funds and salary increases of 11a
per cent for faculty.
Milliken pared these requests
to $10.2 million in additional
funds, $926,000, and 6.5 per cent,
respectively.

In the final appropriation, pass-
ed by lawmakers this summer,
the student aid increases were
cut to $152,000 and salary in-
creases trimmed to 4.8 per cent
above last year's levels.
According to Smith, the Re-
gents decided that the Oppor-
tunity Program for disadvant-
aged and minority students de-
manded a financial commitment
from the University. They voted
to spend $6.7 million of the Uni-
versity's general fund budget for
student aid.
This total is $1,800,000 greater
than last year's student aid al-
.are5er

location, 78 per cent of which is
going to the Opportunity Pro-
gram.
According to Smith, the most
satisfactory way to balance the
budget after this move was to
authorize one per cent cuts in
all University units.
Dr. John Romani, associate
vice president for academic af-
fairs, stated in a Universify press
release, "We anticipate that tbe
funds now available should be
sufficient to meet our needs for
the fiscal year and should enable
the University to meet the minor-
ity student enrollment objectives
for 1972-1973."
