International
Spanish-Soviet
pact
MADRID - Spain and the
Soviet Union established full
diplomatic relations yesterday,
officially ending a 38-year rift
dating back to the Spanish Civil
War.
Announcements by the Span-
ish Foreign Ministry and Tass
news agency in Moscow said
the two countries will exchange
ambassadors, but did not im-
mediately name a date.
"The Soviet Union and Spain
will develop relations between
them on the basis of the prin-
ciples of peaceful coexistence,
in accordance with the U.N.
charter" and in the spirit of
the Helsinki accords signed by
35 nations in 1975, Tass said.
"The two sides expressed con-
fidence that the establishment
of diplomatic relations between
the, U.S.S.R. and Spain will fa-
cilitate the further development
of cooperation in the political,
commercial, economic, cultural
and other fields," Tass said.
The action cleared the way
for talks on the return of $2.1
billion of Spanish gold reserves,
shipped to Russia during the
war.
Right-wing generals have been
critical of dealing with Russia.
ias Pinar, a Franco-appointed
member of parliament called
the Spanish - Soviet agreement
"a shame."
But the agreement was wel-
comed by many other Spanish
politicians. Former Foreign
Minister Jose-Maria de Areilza,
a moderate conservative, said,
"It is the normal result of the
evolution of our politics."
III the past three weeks, Spain
has opened diplomatic relations
with Romania, Poland, Yugo-
slavia and Bulgaria.
Ginzburg called
fascist
JOSCOW - The official So-
viet news agency Tass yester-
day denounced arrested dissi-
dent Alexander Ginzburg as an
agent of a"pro-Fascist" emigre
group and implicitly rebuked
the U.S. state department for
expressing concern over- his
fate.
The 40-year-old Ginzburg, who
was the administrator of a fund
set up by exiled writer Alexan-
der Solzhenitsyn to assist Soviet
citizens jailed on political charg-
es, was detained by Soviet po-
lice Thursday as he left his
wife's Moscow apartment.
On Monday the state depart-
ment said -it was watching the
case of Ginzburg, who has al-
ready served two jail terms,
with concern and had made the
Soviet government aware of the
feelings of the Carter adminis-
tration on the issue.

DIGEST
Tuesday night President Car-
ter 'himself told a news confer-
ence in Washington he had let
Soviet leaders know that al-
though he wanted to press ahead
with detente he reserved his
right to speak out on the hu-
man rights issue.
Carter said he regretted "very
deeply" the Soviet imprisonment
of Ginzburg and the Kremlin's
expulsion of an Associated Press
reporter who frequently wrote
about dissidents.
Yesterday's Tass commentary
referred only to the State De-
partment statement.
Tass said Ginzburg was "a
sponger" who had been jailed
in 1961 for swindling and buy-
ing stolen ikons and in 1968 for
anti-Soviet activities. A police
search of his apartment last
month uncovered materials
showing his ties with an emigre
group, it added.
This group, the People's La-
bor Union, was "pro-fascist"
and had behind it "Western spe-
cial services," the Kremlin ag-
ency wrote. During the search
"large sums of Soviet currency
and foreign money were also
confiscated," ass said.
"Such is the real fact of this
man whom the State Depart-
ment has decided to take under
its protection. There is hardly
any need for comment," the
agency declared.
In a statement of his own
after the search, Ginzburg said
the Soviet money confiscated
was the treasury of the Solzhen-
itsyn fund and alleged that po-
lice had planted the foreign cur-
rency.
National
Hustler appeal
CINCINNATI - A state ap-
peals court failed-to announce
any decision yesterday on a re-
quest that Hustler magazine
publisher Larry Flynt be al-
lowed freedom on bail while ap-
pealing his obscenity conviction.
A cleark in the 1st District
Ohio Court of Appeals said the
three judges had concluded de-
liberations for the day. The
clerk refused to say if a deci-
sion had been reached or when
consideration of Flynt's request
would be resumed.
The judges refused to com-
ment on yesterday's session.
Flynt and Hustler Magazine,
Inc., were convicted Tuesday
of engaging in organized crime
and of selling material judged
to be obscene. He and the cor-
poration were fined $11,000
each, and Flynt was sentenced
to 7 to 25 years in jail. He was
denied bail by the trial judge
and taken immediately to jail.
The judges on the appeals
court had expressed concern
that Hustler Magazine, Inc.,
might resume distribution in the
area if Flynt were released.
Attorneys for Flynt told
the panel yesterday that their
client had agreed not to dis-
tribute the men's magazine in

Flynt's conviction was thes
third major victory by prosecu-d
tors in recent years since thev
Supreme Court redefined crimi-
nal obscenity. Others convictedd
were Harry Reems, star of the
X-rated film "Deep Throat,"
and Al Goldstein, publisher oft

Regulator
reform
WASHINGTON - The entire
process of filling federal reg-
latory jobs should be overhaul-
ed because the current system
has produced lackluster and,
sometimes biased regulators,
new Senate studies released
yesterday concluded.
"Too often regulatory appoint-
ments are not the best suited
individuals. Too often the over-
all composition of the commis-
sions have been heavily weight-
ed in the direction of a single
approach or a. point of view,"
said the first report, which deals
with regulatory appontments.
In calling for strict new con-
flict-of-interest rules and for a
review of all agencies by the
Carter administration, the two
reports by the Senate Govern-
ment Operations Committee
give congressional support to
President Carter's announced
intentions to reform the federal
regulators.
To support these conclusions,
the study cited a Congressional
Research Service survey of 969
lawyers who practice before
eight major regulatory agen-
cies.
The attorneys said only 60 per
cent of the current commission-
ers have the training and ex-
perience to handle their jobs.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission members got the
highest marks, with the lawyers
saying 77 per cent have the pro-
per training. Only 49 per cent
of the Federal Trade Commis-
sion members were judged
qualified by the lawyers.
The attorneys also said less
than two-thirds of the commis-
sioners understand the laws
they are supposed to enforce.
And the lawyers would recom-
mend only about half of the
commissioners for reappint-
ment, the survey found.
The reports, the first of six
in the committee's study of fed-
eral regulation, suggested that
the law require regulatory nom-
inees be qualified for their posts
and that the commissions rep-
resent a broad range of views
and backgrounds.
Gunman holds
hostage
INDIANAPOLIS - A gun-
man holding a mortgage com-
pany executive hostage in an
explosive - rigged apartment
appeared to calm down Wednes-
day as authorities considered
granting him immunity from
prosecution to break the two-
day standoff, police said.
Shortlybefore noon, the gun-
man, Anthony "Tony" Kiritsis,
44, warned police to get out of
the building because he was
afraid an electrical short might
set off 100 pounds of dynamite
he is believed to have wired to

tion forming on the inside of
two sliding glass doors. Kirit-
sis said the wiring linked to the t
dynamite, was attached to thet
windows. j
Prosecutors said they were
drafting papers that would guar-t
antee Kiritsis immunity.-
"Of course, if it is necessaryt
to save a life and prevent any-,
one from being injured, we will
do it," said Prosecutor James
Kelley, who would have to make
the final decision on granting
immunity.
Richard Hall was abducted
from his downtown office Tues-
day morning and, with the muz-
zle of a sawed-off shotgun tied
to the back of his neck, was
marched more than four blocks.
Kiritsis then forced Hall to
drive a commandeered police
car seven miles -to the apart-
ment, where police and news-
men maintained a vigil through
the night.
Kiritsis, described early in
the day as edgy after a sleep-
less night, spent the morning
talking and joking on the tele-
phone with acquaintances who
police said calmed him down.
"The last word we had was
that he was pretty jovial, in a
pretty good mood," said Wil-
liam R. Newman, a sheriff's
deputy who has known Kiritsis
for six years.
Frank Love, an Indiana
State Police detective and boy-
hood companion of Kiritsis who
was involved in the negotia-
tions, said he overheard from
outside the apartment door the
gunman and Hall, 42, talking to
Hall's wife, Ibby.
Love quoted Hall, believed
chained in the hallway of the
third - floor apartment on the
city's west side, 1 as saying,
"Tony's treating me real nice-
ly."
He said he heard Kiritsis tell
his wife: "As much as I hate
the son of a bitch, I can't hurt
him."
As the ordeal went into its
second day, immunity remain-
ed the only demand by Kiritsis
still to be met.
The mortgage company of
which Hall is a director re-
leased Kiritsis of a $130,000 loan
he took out three years ago to
purchase 17 acres of land on
which she honed to develop a
small shopping center.

EAST LANSING - Michigan
State University researchers
said Tuesday that PBB soil con-
tamination poses little or no
threat to animals or humans.
L. W. Jacobs and J. M. Tied-
je of MSU's Department of
Crop and Soil Sciences, said
farmlands upon which PBB-
contaminated manure and milk
were spread can be safely used
for crops because PBB will not
be taken up by the plants.
The toxic chemical entered
the state's food chain when lit
was accidentally added to
Michigan livestock feed three
years ago.
"Because PBB uptake was
nondetectable in orchard grass
and carrot tops and only very
minor in carrot roots in soil
which had been heavily con-
taminated, we concluded that
Wlant uptake of PBBs would not
be a problem on Michigan
farms where PBB - contami-

Soils on most farms with PBB
contamination were expected
to have chemical concentra-
tions much lower than those in
the MSU studies.
"Our laboratory tests show
that PBB breaks down in soils
very slowly - if at all - and
that there is little or no down-
ward movement of PBB in
soils," Jacobs said.
"Based on our experiments
and subsequently compiled re-
seaich. we can see no reason
why these farms shouldn't be
used for crop production. As far
as we can tell at this time,
PBB is not going to move from
its present position within con-
taminated soils."
ACLU attacks
election code
DETROIT - The American
Civil Liberties Union of Michi-
gan said Tuesday it has asked
the U. S. Supreme Court - to
overturn -Michigan's newly-
amended election code because
it descriminates against minori-
ty parties.
Howard Simon, executive
director of the Michigan ACLU,
said the law set up an "unpre-
cedented barrier to ballot ac-
cess" by requiring minor par-
ties to meet a two-pronged stan-
dard.
Thegnew law, designed to dis-
courage "bed sheet" ballots de-
fines new political parties as
those which did not get one per
cent of the votes cast for the
successful candidate for the
Secretary of State at the last
nreceding election for that of-
fice.
Under the law, such parties
must first submit petitions
signed by a number of voters
eual to one per cent of the
number of votes received by
thee ),uccessful candidate for
Secretary of State in the last
election.
New parties which meet that
recpiirement are then placed in
a senarate column on the nri-
mary election ballot. They
will then qualify for the gen-
eral election ballot only if they
nick up at least 0.3 per cent
of the total vote cast in the pri-
mary.
Simon said the ACLU does
not obiect to the first reuire-
mont, but feels the second one
helps the maior political par-
ties maintain a monopoly in the
electoral process.
"Not only does this law re-
strict the First, Amendment
rights of minority Parties, it
makes it impossible for minori-
ty narties to develop," he said.
Simon said the ACLU took
the case to the Supreme Court
earlier this week on behalf of
five minor parties.
"If we dosnot receive s ffic-
ient public supnort, and if we
are not successful in this suit,
the 1976 election will be virtu-
ally the last one in which a
minor political party will ap-
pear on the ballot," he said,
Last October, a three-judge
U. S. District Court panel up-
held the constitutionality of Mi-
chigan's law but granted. an
ACLU request for a prelimi-
nary injunction applicable to
the 1976 election.

The heat's on to
dial down at 'U'

(Continued from Page t)
computer system.,
Recently the University low-'
ered thermostats to 65 degrees
in all buildings except the hos-
pital and athletic and housing
facilities.
Jack Weidenbach, director of
physical properties and chair-
man of the task force, said the
University is not confronted
with an energy crisis because
it has a sufficient fuel supply.
The fuel saving measures are
being taken in compliance with
the requests of President Carter
and Governor Milliken, he add-
ed.
Despite the concerted effort
to dial down, students may still
find buildings warmer than 65
degrees. Weidenbach said the
heat reduction campaign is "by
no means a blanket program."
He attributed vast differences
in temperature to the follow-,
ing causes:
-Older buildings, such as
Tappan and West Engineering
often lack control mechanisms
to regulate temperatures.
-Wind velocity and direction,
the temperature, and intensity
of the sun account for tempera-
ture fluctuations.
-In some buildings, individ-
uals have access to heating con-

trols.
-Lab work and research pro-
jects may need a warmer en-
vironment.
A spot check of 15 buildings
showed the average building
temperature hovering around
72 degrees, with a high of 78 in
the Chemistry Bldg. and a low
of 60 in the UGLI.
A worker in the UGLI said
he receives complaints from
some on one floor who are too'
hot and others almost frostbit-
ten on another.
Although dialing down helps
preserve precious fuel, Baer
quipped, "The colder climate in-
side University buildings may
cause the students to work a
little harder."
