Ozone House also lost $26,000 in state aid last year, because it insists on aiding runaways who don't wish to contact their parents. MEMBERS OF the counseling center, located on N. Main, will meet tonight to decide whether they want to pay $4,000 for the use of the Uniform Reporting System (URS), a network which channels information. about runaways to and from other runaway hostels in Michigan. None of the other centers are being charged for using the URS. Ozone House lost its contract with the state Department of Social Services last year because its prac- tices violate Michigan's youth har- boring law. Workers at the local center say they are doing the best thing by aiding all runaways. "Sometimes they just need a one day reprieve before they feel they can go home," says Debbie Argenbright, treasurer and fund raiser for Ozone House. "What can you do, just say 'Good- bye'?" THE YOUTH counseling center, which was the first of its type in Michigan, operates chiefly on. a budget of $65,000 allocated by the fed- expanding, but it's enough to get by on," says Argenbright of the limited budget. 'The only way we'll ever get the money is if the kaw is changed-if it's no longer illegal to house a runaway. We're not going to stop doing it.' -Judi Duberman, Ozone House She notes that it is also the only one which violates the harboring law. "The great majority (of runaway houses) have boards of directors which dictate what the houses can and can't do. I think some people are sympathetic, but their hands are tied." The Office of Juvenile Justice Services recently conducted an in- vestigation to evaluate the juvenile justice system. One of its recommen- dations was to repeal the harboring law. "It's gone through public hear- ings," says Argenbright unenthusias- tically. "There's talk now that it was an incomplete investigation." Despite their acknowledged viola- tion of the harboring law,bOzone House has not been cited by the police. "I guess they choose to ignore it," says Argenbright. "IF THEY did choose to do some- thing," adds Judi Duberman, train- ing, coordinator for volunteers at Ozone House, 'vhat would happen is that the kids would probably end up in court, and they don't really want to do that." Duberman also mentions that citi- zens of Ann Arbor are passive about the methods used by Ozone House. "They know us as people, and they know we're not out to get their kids." Ozone House organized in the late sixties, and was officially recognized by the state in 1970. A few years later eral government through the Run- away Youth Act.

See TROUBLES, Page 7 Israeli strike planes Lebanon in ret By The Associated Press Israeli warplanes streaked across the southern Lebanese border early yesterday, pounding Palestinian strongholds in reprisal for guerrilla rocket attacks that killed three Israelis this week. Palestinian and Lebanese of- ficials said the Israeli attack killed 87 persons and wounded 105. Israel's deputy defense minister, at a funeral for one of the Israeli victims, said the guerrillas "will pay the full price for t eir actions" and that "Jewish blood is not for the taking." He vowed "never to give the murderers any rest." ABU JIHAD, a Palestinian guerrilla commander supervising rescue operations in the nearly flattened town of Azzieh, six miles north of the Israeli frontier, said, "not a single guerrilla has been killed and most of the aliati casualties are women and children." But a Palestinian spokesperson ad- mitted later that three members of a guerrilla antiaircraft battery "were killed while trying to repulse the raiding jets." Israeli jets are able to cross the bor- der with impunity because the Lebanese military virtually disin- tegrated during the 19-month Moslem- Christian civil war that ended a year ago, leaving only Palestinian batteries to. ward off, marauders. Syria's, peackeeping force, charged with preventing Moslem-Christian blood- shed, operates principally in the nor- thern part of the country. AN ASSOCIATED Press correspon- dent reporting from Azzieh, said he saw a dozen Palestinian women wailing hysterically, pulling their hair and tearing their clothes outside the small infirmary serving nearby Burj el on Shimali refugee camp. The bodies of nine children, aged between five and 12, lay under bloody sheets in the infirmary's surgical ward, and one of the Palestinian women chan- ted: "Why have they killed our innocent babies? The wrath of God on the cursed Israeli pilots!" It was the first Israeli air raid an- nounced in nearly two years, and the first time the hardline government of Menahem Begin has openly flexed its military muscle since taking office June 20. BOMB CRATERS 10 yards wide could be seen in villages and camps hit by theIsraeli jets. Refugeesrsaid as many as 12 Israeli jets made repeated sorties to drop their bombs during the early morning raid. "Thank God most of us had just left home to go to work," said Aly Yacoub, a refugee whose wife and daughter were killed when his house was wrecked along with 50 others. "If the Israelis attacked even 15 minutes earlier the death toll would have been terrible." A SPOKESPERSON for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) said the raid was "a direct consequence of the irresponsible and criminal en- couragement of Israel by the United - States." He said the State Department, in a See ISRAEL, Page 2 ATTORNEYS FOR TWO University women tell the press yesterday they are willing to take their claim that no voter should be compelled to reveal her vote to the U.S. Supreme Court. .Voter case -may persist to U.S., Suprem--e Court. By GREGG KRUPA and JULIE ROVNER Attorneys representing Susan Van- Hattum and Diane Lazinsky, the two University students who voted im- properly in last April's mayoral election, said yesterday that - with client approval - they would be willing to take the voting case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The statement, made at a Press conference sponsored by the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Law School Student Senate, was a response to a ruling Monday by the Michigan Court of Appeals which said that because the two women had "voted without proper qualifica- tion," the constitutionally guaran- teed right to a secret ballot "does not extend to them." Attorneys said Monday they would appeal to the state Supreme Court sometime this week.' ALTHOUGH 18 other non-Ann Arbor residents voted improperly, and thus may be asked to reveal their votes in court, the Appeals Court de- cision pertains to just VanHattum and Lazinsky since they were the only witnesses who refused to dis- close their votes. VanHattum is represented by Jon- Election reflects population shift athon Rose, a local attorney, and Diane Lazinsky is represented by a team of three ACLU attorneys: Vincent Blassi, Edward Goldman, and Sharon Philbrook. Donald Coleman, chairman of the And Arbor and Washtenaw County chapter of the ACLU, began the press conference with a brief opening statement. "WE ARE very disappointed with the decision of the state Court of Appeals yesterday," he said. "We are extremely concerned that the voters' right to a secret ballot be protected. No one government agen- cy has the right to know how any one person, let alone 20 people voted," he continued. Coleman, who said that when a person is cited with contempt and handcuffed, they are being intimidated, added, "Intimidation has a tendency to undermine the poli- tical process. There is no telling where that intimidation may ulti- mately lead us." Coleman said that the lawyers in the proceedings had other means at their disposal to litigate the case without violating the constitutional rights of the voters. Attorney Goldman said the ACLU had no interest in affecting the election results. "OUR CONCERN is the rights of the individual voter. We are not con- cerned with who won the election and who will therefore be mayor of Ann Arbor, or the results of the election in See VOTER, Page 2 By KEITH RICHBURG A Daily News Analysis Tuesday's elections in Detroit proved three things - that any black candidate who openly appeals to white voters risks losing the support of blacks, that the city has undergone a realignment that has resulted in a black mayor, a black City Council President, and a five-to-four major- ity of blacks on City Council, and that a candidate can win in Detroit, as Councilman-elect Kenneth Cockrel proved, without the endorsement of the powerful United Auto Workers (UAW), or the news media. Detroit's first black mayor Cole- man Young, handily won re-election to a second four-year term, and he'll serve the city with another - black, Councilwoman Erma Henderson, as President of the Detroit City Council. YOUNG TOOK 59 per cent of the vote from challenger Ernest Browne, the two-term councilman, who had hoped to oust Young by building a coalition of disenchanted whites and some blacks. Before the September primary, Browne's campaign manager Ron Hammer had told The Daily that if Browne could capture just 20 per cent of the black votes and over 90 per- cent of the white vote, "There's no way (Young) can win." As it turned out, by appealing to white voters, Browne alienated blacks, who voted overwhelmingly - over 90 per cent - for Young. HENDERSON \was the top vote- getter in the Council race, automat- ically catapulting her to the presi- dency vacated by retiring Council- man Carl Levin. Seven incumbents sought re-elec- tion to the nine-member Council and, in line with Detroit election tradi- tion, no incumbent lost. Leaving two vacant seats were Levin and Browne. Both seats were won by blacks, giving the Council a five-to-four black majority. Another significant point is that the only two women on the Council, Hen- derson and Maryann Mahaffey, fin- ished in the top two spots.
