Richard and Elaine Cresswell bought a male contraceptive business from United Industries International of Oakland for $5,000, but are now suing the company for fraud. Among other reasons for the $100,000 damage suit, the Cresswells cited the location of most of the 20 machines: They are located in women's restrooms where the product's user's are not likely to venture.

But apparently there's a trick to turning on the runway lights at the Upper Peninsula's new Chippewa County Airport. Roger Fisher, executive director of the EasteFn Upper Peninsula Transportation Authority, left the airport under the control of his unnamed assistant Thursday. But when darkness fell and the runway lights needed to be turned on, the task proved to be too great for the assistant. The North Central Airline plane carrying Fisher back to the airport had to be diverted to Pellston because the runway lights weren't on. Fisher had to take a bus back to the airport to show his assistant how to turn on the lights. 0i On the outside..* If you're still basking in the glow of yesterday's glorious sunshine (like those in the photo below), today may just shock you back into reality, but not before teasing you a bit. The morning will be gorgeous, as the temperature will reach 63, and there will be a pleasant wind un- der cloudy skies. But then things will take a turn for the worse. The mercury will be dropping steadily all afternoon, and there is a chance of thundershowers. Low tonight will be 34. Sunday will be clear and windvwith a high of 48. AMC, Renau DETROIT (AP)-American Motors Corp. (AMC) and French automaker Renault, both steeped in automotive history, took a first step yesterday toward the possible joint manufacture of cars. In what would be an unprecedented venture in the United States, the com- panies said they had signed a tentative' agreement to join forces in distribution of cars, design of future productsand possible assembly of Renault cars in AMC plants. IN PARIS, Renault was quick to em- phasize that the agreement was not final. "This is only a cooperation agreement. We are not looking for a merger," a spokesman said. The linkup of struggling AMC with Renault, the eighth-largest industrial enterprise outside the United States, capped months of speculation about the future of the smallest U.S. automaker. The heads of the two companies said they had "signed a memorandum set- ting forth the basic principles of a proposed agreement." The plans include joint distribution of cars in the United States and Canada, development of future product plans for passenger cars, and "consideration of the eventual manufacture of one or more Renault cars in AMC's assembly plants." THE AGREEMENT also called for sale of AMC Jeep vehicles through Renault dealers and sale "as soon as it may possible" of Renault's tiny Le Car by AMC dealers in North America. The companies hope to sign a binding' agreement within the next few months,' said AMC President Gerald Meyers and Renault Director General Bernard Vernier-Palliez. The two scheduled a Saturday conference at AMC headquar-. ters. The announcement ended nearly a year of speculation that AMC would either end its money-losing car' operations or join forces with a foreign carmaker. Meyers, who just took over as chief executive in October, fueled the rumors in February when he said AMC hoped to complete a deal this year. MEYERS IS the one who's going to 1 get the credit for this," said Arvid unite Jouppi of Colin, Rochstin Co., a New York investment research firm. "Many of us doubted he was really working on, anything that concrete." The company's share of the market for U.S. -built cars shrunk to 2 percent in 1977 and its car sales plummeted 25 percent, despite the third best year ever for the U.S. industry as a whole. Plagued by old models and a lack of resources to advertise, stock parts or design new models, AMC managed a slim profit last year only on the strength of its Jeep and specialty vehicle sales. While AMC had sales last year of $2.2 billion, Renault sales totaled $9.35 billion. Renault employment is 240,000, while AMC's is 27,000. Mayoral candidates ready for round two' (Continued from Page 1 ter, we're going to continue to pollute the river, and until we get it, we can't build any new housing or businesses," he said. Another of the major issues on which the candidates disagree is housing. "THE ONLY way we're going to whip the housing problem is to get private developers in here, and to do that we're going to have to streamline the plan- ning process," Belcher said. "There's no way private developers can build the kind of housing we need without federal incentives," Wheeler said. He said he supports Section 8 housing, where the federal government provides all rent over and above 25 per cent of a family's income. Perhaps the most marked difference, between the two candidates is their willingness to tap nment for aid. the federal gover- WHEELER SPEAKS with pride of his many trips to Washington and his good relationship with the HUD and HEW offices in Detroit.

Ambassador Andrew Young arranged for Nkomo to be in Lagos during Carter's visit. The sources said Young, who preceded Car- ter to Africa, also arranged for the', presence of foreign ministers from five black African nations that support the guerrillas. THE SENIOR American official on Carter's plane said the President will underline U.S. support for the Anglo- American plan to establish black majority rule in Rhodesia. The Anglo- American plan would include Nkomo and Robert Mugabe, also a leader of the Patriotic Front's guerrilla alliance. " Nkomo and Mugabe have refused to participate in an internal settlement reached by Smith and three black moderate leaders in Rhodesia. THE PRESIDENT'S previous stop was in Rio de Janeiro, where he risked the displeasure of his official hosts by v v we're entitled to.'' Belcher, however, sees the city as more independent. "Somewhere down the line we've got to have enough guts Y to get up. and do some of these things ourselves," he said. "I don't see HUD and HEW running up and down the streets filling in our potholes. THE CANDIDATES hold different views on the two ballot proposals - "Truth In Renting" and "Fair Rental Information." ' Wheeler supports both proposals. He initiated his own proposal this'summer to mandate that all landlords in the city' had to warn tenants on their leases that some lease clauses might be illegal. Wheeler has said that if the ballot proposals are defeated, he will do everything he can to make them law. . Belcher, while he has been unclear as to his true position on the proposals in many campaign appearances, opposes'- both ballot proposals. He sees the ren- ting booklet as "confusing" and does not feel it will benefit anyone. He also does not see the necessity of a truth in renting clause. "I would rather see action taken against those who have illegal leases," Belcher said. meeting with crusaders for human rights and critics of Brazil's military government. Carter, who also con- ferred with leaders in Venezuela, returns home Monday.' Before leaving Rio, the President said human rights improvements in Brazil are "very encouraging." But Assistant Secretary of State Terrence Todman, traveling with Carter, said that Brazil and the United States agreed to disagree about human rights. At the start of his 45-minute session with the government critics, who in- cluded two Roman Catholic cardinals, Carter said in the presence of reporters that Brazilian supreme court justices had told him Thursday in Brasilia they were dedicatedto human rights. "THE CHIEF justice made a very clear statement toward dedication to. human rights," the President said.:"He said they, the justices, were the most liberal elements in the court system. It was very encouraging to us. "Since my last visit here, there has been, I think, great excitement building up about human rights, and the people are expressing themselves very clearly," Carter said. At that point, the reporters were ushered out. After the meeting, coincidentally{ held on the 14th anniversary of the military coup which deposed a populist civilian government in Brazil, one of the cardinals, Paulo Evaristo Arnes of Sao Paulo, joined Carter on his ride to the airport.r ARNES TOLD reporters waiting to see the President off that the meeting "was very good for both countries" but that no specific cases of human rights violations were discussed. "He allows me to write him directly or to call directly to the United States if I have some cases that would be more important," said thq cardinal, who met Carter last year when the President delivered a foreign policy address 4t Notre Dame University. In an airport interview, Todman said Brazil. and the United States "agree that there is a difference in emphasis on human rights in each country, and" there is also a difference in concepts." These differences, Todman said, cen- ter on "whether the international community has a right to decide on human rights, or whether it is strictly a domestic question." He said that Brazil is more inclined toward the latter position. i%..I - U A ^fF7 4 More cattle found in ired foroy te'Coalon for Better Housing Balot Question Committee rJ excess of (Continued from Page II interviews will be conducted to eliminate discrepancies due to phone interviews only.

Remington noted that "we're at a less hysterical phase" now in the study. However, he said in order to discover a way to rid the body of the chemical will require a number of scientific breakthroughs. "Disasters will con- tinue to occur so we better try to learn the basic science necessary to relieve the body burden," he said. PBB level In addition to the phone survey and connected clinicals studies, Dr. Isadore Bernstein, professor of environmental health in the School of Public and biolchemisty in the Medical School, will head a study to determine the degree of retention of the chemical in the body. Michigan State University is awaiting funding for an environmental examination of PBB effects. Dr. Irving Selikoff of New York's Mt.

Experts say the problem with fusing hydrogen atoms to obtain energy is get- ting the atoms together, because they all have a positive electrical charge and therefore repel each other. ACCORDING to Donald Woodbridge of KMS Fusion, this can be overcome through the use of high-powered lasers. In laser fusion, a high-intensity beam of light is used to heat the hydrogen atoms up, thereby releasing high- energy neutrons. "By absorbing the neutrons," says Wodbridge, "you can recapture the energy and put it to use." However, he adds, "There are problems in getting sufficiently power- ful lasers for the process." According to Woodbridge, if this, process was used with all the hydrogen in a gallon of seawater, you would get the equivalent amount of energy produced by burning 300 gallons of gasoline. ONE OF THE dangers of laser fusion, according to University nuclear engineering professor Chihirq Kikuchi, is the significant level of radioactivity that is characteristic of some hydrogen isotopes. However, Woodbridge con- tends that there are adequatejfacilites to safeguard against radiation leaks. Another danger is the escape of the high energy neutrons which, says Woodbridge, "could produce changes in people's tissues. But since we want to capture all of them anyway this is not a great problem," he notes. _______________IN I IN WIDESCREEN CINEMASCOPE 1972 DELIVERANCE A tense, action-paced, sometimes frightening narrative of four friends who embark on a canoe trip in the wilderness of Georgia.
