Brezhnev rejects American proposals (continued from Page 1) in May at a meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy- ko, probably in Western Europe. But Brezhnev is the only single leader who would normally be able to accept American SALT proposals and Vance noted the Middle East "and other items" would also be on the May Iagenda. HE TOLD reporters he had had a one-hour meeting with Brezhnev, with.the Soviet leader "doing all the talking" and pro- posing "nothing new on their side." Vance had said he would stay in Moscow longer if progress on the treaty proposals warranted it, but planned after the Brezh- nev meeting to leave for West- ern Europe this morning, on schedule. Brezhnev told Vance in a Monday meeting that American criticism of Soviet handling of human rights matters made good relations impossible be- tween the Soviet Union and the United States. VANCE SAID THE human rights issue had "not come up" yesterday and the SALT pro- posals "stood on their own feet." Other American officials, how- ever, speculated that the SALT rejection was related to the ear- lier warning. An interim nuclear arms con- trol accord expires Oct. 3, but Vance said "it is still possible" to reach a SALT agreement be- fore then. Vance said he thought rela- tions between the two countries would "continue to be good." Texas voted for annexation to the U.S. July 4, 1845, and be- came the 28th state Dec. 29.

The Issue: Ann Arbor has a "weak-mayor. strong-administrator" type of city government. Policy decisions are determined by citizens who are elected to serve on city council and implemented by the full-time paid city administrator. This form-of city government has given us budget surpluses for the last three years under the able direction of our city administrator. Mr, Wheeler wants to change this system. Lou Belcher does not. Mayor Wheeler's stand: * Mayor Wheeler wants the Mayor's position to be a four- year term paying $30,000 to $35,000 per year - and this would be in addition to the full-time city adminis- trator. (Chamber of Cqmmerce debate, March 9. 1977) He voted yes to establish a Public Officers Compensa- tion Committee to provide salaries for council members, even though such pay is in violation of our City Charter. Nov. 17, 1975 Mayor Wheeler voted against the resolution that would have placed the question of pay for council on the ballot for the citizens to decide. Dec. 8. 1975 He voted against an ordinance which would have de- nied the Compensation Commission's recommendation Mayor Pro-Tem Lou Belcher's stand: In every single instance. I voted the opposite of Mayor Wheeler and in some cases, sponsored the resolution involved. I am firmly convinced that paying the Mayor $35,000 per year and paying council will destroy our time-honored tradition of citizens donating their time to serve our city. Instead, we will have. a government run by paid politicians. Our city charter provides many checks and balances and has proved to be a very clean and effective form of gov- ernment. I don't believe the same would be true of a government run by paid politicians. Under Mayor Wheeler's proposal, the Mayor would run our city - yet he would retain the administrator's position. This would mean our city employees would have two bosses and develop into total chaos. Our time-tested system of non-paid citizen service should be retained. If I am elected Mayor. I will fight to keep our present form of government.
