Fishy business
We've all heard of "an eye for an eye," but "a fish for a fish?" The
latest buy-one-get-one-free gimmick, coming from McDonald's and
the Ann Arbor Pet Supply, entitles each purchaser of a Filet-o-Fish
sandwich to a free goldfish. Observers are speculating McDonald's
may soon work out a similar deal with cattle-raisers offering a free
cow to any purchaser of 3000 Quarter Pounders (with cheese, of cour-
se).
Bull Runs,
The First Michigan Volunteers is an historical association of Civil
War enthusiasts who make their livelihood recreating mock Civil War
battles and demonstrations. Last Monday night, the Volunteers
petitioned City Council for permission to bring their show to Ann Arbor
for the spring open house of the Cobblestone Farm Association on May
21. There will be a flag raising and lowering ceremony, a sabre
demonstration, a rifle firing, and a cannon firing (powder only, of
course, for the sake of neighborhood windows). But lo, this is, as they
say, "the silly season," with an election just two weeks away, and one
Democratic Councilman who asked not to be identified,.couldn't resist
the opportunity for a pointed political barb. "If it was up to the Third
Ward," he said, "They never would have freed the slaves.

Amy ambles
The nation's famous 10-year-old
strolled through the center of
Washington on -an architectural tour
Tuesday and almost no one noticed,
which is hard to understand since the
freckled tyke was accompanied by two
Secret Service agents, some of her fifth
grade classmates and at least one
reporter as she made her way through
downtown streets gazing at buildings.
r Only a woman accompanying several
teenagers recognized the precocious
youngster as she stood in front of
historic Ford's Theatre. When the
woman pointed, her companions began
clicking their cameras. Amy just
scowled. Most of the time she was in-
tent on jotting things down in her
notebook. When the other students were/
asked which of two buildings they liked
best, many shouted their preference.
But leave it to the President's daughter.
" K -She responded, "I like them both in dif-
ferent ways."
On the outside
Today the sun will make an appearance as a high pressure system
moves down from Canada. It should become partly sunny later this af-
ternoon with highs ranging from 42 to 45°. Tonight will be partly
cloudy with a low from 25 to 28°.
Daily Official Bulletin
U.S.-Soviet gap widens due to
,.
dispute
MOSCOW-Soviet-American relations
appear to have reached their lowest
point in more than a year and many
analysts feel the worst is yet to come
unless both sides show new flexibility.
Soviets and Americans have clashed
on issues ranging from the Horn of
Africa to the neutron bomb, and each
side has publicly announced it is
waiting for the other to change its
stand.
SINCE EACH country wants it known
that it will not give in to pressure from
the other, analysts predict continuing
tension that can only complicate other
major issues between the countries, in:
cluding human rights and the SALT
talks.
The latest sign of tension was
President Carter's speech last Friday
at Wake Forest University, in which he
called for a strong defense program
and bluntly told the Soviet Union to
exercise military restraint.
The Soviet news agency Tass
respoonded with unaccustomed speed,
branding the speech "alarming" and a
sign that Carter was moving from a
policy of detente to one of "threats and
a build-up of tension."
on major world issues
YET THE SOVIET Union, according
to U.S. reports, is continuing its own
arms build-up. The Pentagon has noted
the deployment of new Soviet land-
based missiles capable of hitting the
United States and an increase in con-
ventional weaponry.
U.S.-Soviet negotiations on a new
SALT pact, which the Soviets call the
"centerpiece of detente," remain
delayed by essentially the same issues
as a year ago. These include the
development of new missiles, the coun-
ting of missiles in each country's ar-.
senal and the capabilities of the Soviet
Backfire bomber.
Last year SALT appeared to be the
major U.S. - Soviet issue, but the arms
talks are now only a part of a much
more complicated U.S.-Soviet faceoff.
AMERICANS WERE angered by the
appearance of Soviet advisers and
Cuban troops in Ethiopia, even though
they were invited by Ethiopia to repel
an invasion by neighboring Somalia.
In his Wake Forest speech, Carter
said that if the Soviets fail to show
restraint in new arms programs and
"the projection of Soviet proxy forces
into other lands and continents," U.S.
lqkdam i/ v v w qw %-Ofw r R..l t..7 %./9V / . 19..7
support for social, scientific and
economic ties with Moscow may wane.
If the Soviets should call the
American bluff by leaving communist
forces in Ethiopia and continuing an
arms build-up, the United States may
have to take retaliatory action to back
up Carter's threat.
SIMILARLY, THE Soviets demand
an end to plans for the proposed U.S.
neutron bomb, which Soviet
newspapers call the most dangerous
development in the arms race since the
hydrogen bomb.
The Soviets have publicly promised
that if the bomb is deployed, the
Kremlin will be forced to take "an-
swering measures," presumably
referring to production of their own
neutron bomb.
In the field of human rights, the
United States has made the upcoming
trial of Anatoly Shcbaransky, a 30-year-
old Soviet dissidenta focal point of U.S.
-Soviet relations.
THE U.S. THREATENS retaliation
in trade relations, SALT negotiations or
other arenas if Shcharansky is tried

and severely punished. Here, too, ac-
tion by one supporter could force
retaliatory moves by the other.
There are other tense areas as well.
With all the side issues, some third-
country diplomats here doubt that any
early SALT agreement can be reached.
Only if Washington and Moscow are
prepared to retreat on some other
issues, the analysts believe, can major
issues of strategic arms and human
rights be settled.
Karl Wallenda falls
to death d
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - Karl
Wallenda, who cheated death for more
than half a century on the high wire,
was killed yesterday when he fell
during a promotional appearance for a
circus in which he was performing with
his granddaughter.
Wallenda, 73, consistently refused to
give up performing, despite accidents
through the years which killed four
members of his family and left his son
paralyzed from the waist down.
"I FEEL BETTER up there than I do
down here. It is my whole life," he once
said.
Wallenda, who first walked the wire
in 1920, made the statement less than
three weeks after two members of the
Great Wallendas were killed and he
himself was injured when their famed
seven-member pyramid collapsed in an
appearance in Detroit on Jan. 30, 1962.
Wednesday's accident occurred while
Wallenda was walking, through strong
winds, on a wire stretched 10 stories
high between the towers of a beachfront
hotel in a promotion for' the Pan
American circus.
WALLENDA FELL an estimated 120
feet to the driveway of the Condado
Holiday Inn Hotel before hundreds of
spectators. He died in San Juan's
Presbyterian Hospital at 10:20 a.m.,
soon after the fall.
"The people who work with Wallenda
in the act ran around in a panic,
screaming 'Oh my God, oh my God,'"
said Gary Williams, a local newspaper
photographer. "Everybody was
hysterical. People were fainting,
collapsing on the ground."
iiring. stunt
Another witness, Victor Abbound, an
accountant from Montreal, said: "I
saw him go down on his knees on the
wire and I thought he was kneeling to
rest. But then I saw he was shaking.
The winds blew him off and he went all
the way down, head first."
WILLIAMS SAID, that Wallenda,
leaning into the wind as he inched his
way across the wire, "seemed to be
losing it," halfway through the stunt.
"His balance pole was going up and
down. One of the people who work with
him in the act was watching from the
roof. He yelled: 'Sit down, sit down.'
Wallenda sat, but he missed the wire
and went down."
James Harrington, the manager of
the Pan American circus, was asked if
Wallenda was worried about the wind.
"No, he thought it was fine," said
Harrington. "He tested and installed
the wire himself."
Wallenda, who was born in Germany
and came to the United States in the
1920s, was performing nightly in San
Juan on a 50-foot-high wire with his
granddaughter, Rietta.
His best-known - and most
dangerous - act was the three-level
pyramid. The bottom level consisted of
four men, linked, two each, by shoulder
bars. Two more men stood on the
shoulder bars and a woman stood on a
chair balanced on a pole supported by
those on the second level.
"We had close calls many times, but
never any serious injury until the
pyramid," Wallenda's brother, Her-
man, once said.
