Hunger strike ends
Fifteen Iranian students who had refused to eat for five days en-
ded their fast Sunday. The hunger strike was staged to protest prison
conditions and treatment of prisoners in Iran and students had vowed
to continue the strike until their demands were met. A spokesperson at
the Lord of Light Lutheran Church, where the strike took place; said
" the Iranians felt their demands were realized. None of the striking
students, who refuse to give their identities for fear of reprisal from
the Iranian secret police, could be reached for comment, however.

Trashy ruling
A man named Nixon once proved to us that tape recordings are not
beyond public inspection, but how about garbage? A U.S. Circuit Court
ruled Tuesday that a person's privacy does not extend to the rubbis
once outside of his house. The three judges who made the decision
upheld the conviction of Thomas Shelby, whose conviction of a coin
shop robbery was based on evidence found in his trash can. Per-
sonally, we think the wholequestion should be thrown out.
On the outside...
It will be mostly cloudy with occasional showers today and a high
of 66. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe the rain will stop long
enough for the Detroit Tigers and Mark "The Bird" Fidrych to play
their home opener scheduled for this afternoon at Tiger Stadium. Bat-

Ex-Ford employee
tries to patent airbag
as 'execution device'

By ANIDA ROSSMAN
A retired Ford Motor Co. employee is
trying to patent a new execution device
- the airbag.
Ann Arborite Emile Grenier said he
applied for the patent because he is so
convinced the inflatable bag, designed
as an auto safety device, is more likely
to cost lives rather than spare them.
BUT GRENIER insists his motives
are not as ghoulish as they may sound.
"My purpose is not to get into the
execution business," he explained, "but
to stop unwary Americans from getting
executed."
If airbags become a part of the 1980s
safety standards, "car buyers will shell
out an additional $300 for this "safety
feature." "In essence," Grenier said,
"you'd be paying extra for something
that can kill you.''
Grenier was one of several auto
safety engineers who participated in
the initial 15 months of airbag research.
And he says the devices are more than
just a bunch of hot air. ,
TESTIFYING BEFORE the United
States Department-of Transportation
last April, Grenier called the man-
datory airbag a "potentially lethal ob-
ject" and urged the Department and
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Institute Insurance Company not to im-

pose it upon the public.
Grenier says the airbags could have
several dangerous and potentially fatal
effects. Since they inflate in a matter of
seconds, Grenier says they can easily
break the neck of a passenger who is
out of position, such as bending forward
or sleeping. In addition, he says, the
devicetdoes not give secondary impact
protection.
Grenier maintains the airbag is sim-
ply no alternative to the use of seat-
belts. Whereas passive constraint"
(airbags) may be more appealing to
lazy or forgetful passengers than "ac-
tive constraint" .(seatbelts), he noted
that unless the two are used in conjun-
ction submarining - sliding under the
bag - could occur.
UNTIL NOW, Grenier's attempts to
make his findings public have been
frustrated. But now that he's decided to
try to patent the bags as an execution
device, "I've finally hit on a way to gain
attention."
"It's high time we got reaction from
the people of the street, rather than
bureaucrats in Washington," he said.
The government, CGrenier charged,
"has this crazy idea that we (the auto
industry) can do anything. They think
that we have to be protected from our-
selves. Ironically, they are pushing
dangerous, expensive things on us."

Power unintimidated
by Griffin; still in race

i *M - N9* y ~ l

LANSING (UPI) - Democratic U.S.
Senate candidate Phil Powervowed
yesterday to remain in the crowded
race despite the return of incumbent
Republican Robert Griffin to the cam-
paign.
"I will not pull out, period," the
wealthy suburban published said at a
news conference called to explain his
four-point program to boost em-
ployment.
POWER SAID he has spent about
$100,000 out of his own pocket thus far
and recently has been campaigning
heavily outstate. He plans soon to begin
moving in on the Detroit metroolitan
area.
He agreed with several other can-
didates and political observers who
have given the early lead in the
Democratic race to Detroit City Coun-
cilman Carl Levin, well-known in the
crucial Detroit area.
"I think Carl's a very strong can-
didate," he said, but he added. "Just
name identification at this stage of the
campaign is no sign that anybody's
going to win."
POWER ALSO said he has a formula
for winning, based on the 1972 race bet-
ween Griffin and Attorney General
Ftank Kelley. Nail down the hard core
Democratic vote around the state, run
wel with Michigan's large group of in-

dependent voters and capture the
Detroit suburbs, where antibusing sen-
timent contributed to Kelley's defeat.
Democratic field may begin to
narrow when the June 5 date for filing LEV I SA LE
petitions arrives and candidates must Levi s
produce 25,000 signatures on
nominating petitions.
But the prospect is for a large field of
candidates for the primary. There are
indications, Power said, that television Corduroy Bells-
advertising time will be difficult to pur-
chase, making the name recognition
battle even tougher. TwoM an
