Roll up your sleeves State Health Director Maurice Reizen announced yesterday he is lifting the temporary suspension of the state's swine flu innoculation program and expects to see clinics reopened by Monday. Echoing conclusions drawn yesterday by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Reizen said there is no link between the vaccinations and the people who died shortly ofter getting their shots this week. Most of the states that stopped their flu shot programs after the brief scare have resumed their programs. CDC said that 35 of the some one million elderly persons vaccinated this week died after their shots, but implied, in effect, that they would have died even without their shots.

GallUp puts the Georgian's support at 48 per cent, leading the incumbent by six percentage points, while the CBS News - New York Times survey gives Carter a 60-40 margin in the South,ea 58-42 edge in the Midwest, and a precarious 51-49 lead in the East and West. The results of the Gallup survey indicate that Carter has halted - at least temporarily - the almost steady erosion of his support since the Democratic National Conventinon, when the polling organization gave Carter a seemingly comfortable 62-32 lead over the then- unnominated President. Earth bikes?. Two bicycle lovers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have invented a pair, of pedal-powered contraptions they say are faster, safer and more comfortable than anything else on two wheels. Based on the theory that a bike rider should be able to sit back and feel comfortable as he moves along, the bikes force the rider to lounge back in a semireclining position, stick his feet straight out and pump the pedals. Designer David Wilson, an engineering professor, says people seem to like his inventions. "Grown men cheer as I come along,' 'he says. "People clap." Accident-prone riders will like the bikes: since the seat is lower, its not so far to the ground if the rider falls off. No Nobel The Nobel committee of the Norwegian parlia- ment has decided not to award the 1976 Peace Prize, it was announced yesterday. The five- member committee gave no reason for its de- cision, but said the record $160,000 prize money will be reserved for 1977. Nobel Institute Director Tim Greve had said earlier that 50 candidates were being considered, and many observers had specu- lated the award would be given to Mexican President Louis Echeverria or the Roman Cath- olic nun Mother Theresa for her work among the poor in Calcutta, India.

In an address before members of the Detroit Economic Club at Cobo Hall, Car- ter blasted the Ford administration's failure to control crime, attributing the problem to "the failure of leadership." THE FORMER Georgia governor at- tempted to underscore the urgency of the situation by telling the audience of 2500 that "during the time we are meeting here today, 180 buildings will be broken into throughout the country, 20 people will be robbed and . . . one person will be mur- dered." Carter blamed "the absence of strong family structure" and rampant youth un- designed to encourage strong, stable fami- lies." campaign '76 HE ADDED, "Crime reflects sickness in a society." Although Detroit has been plagued with rising street crime and growing problems with teenage gangs in the past months, Carter mentioned local problems only briefly, pointing to Detroit as an example of the anarchy such gangs could bring to a great city. CARTER presented the crowd with a 16-point anti-crime plan which focuses on protecting the "average citizen." "We can recruit law enforcement . vol'lnteer citizens to help with controlling crime," Carter said. "Neighborhoods can be organized to cooperate with law enforce- ment efforts." Carter called for a crackdown on lenient sentences for corporate and middle-class criminals, and added that "slap on the wrist unmishment leads to "contempt for erilal i-stice." "I VIS!TED!

UP Vice- presidential rivals Walter Mondale and Bob Dole snapped at each other on government spending, East- ern Europe and restoration of public faith in a debate that brought their cam- paign, one-liners and all, into the nation's living rooms last night. Sometimes-nasty jabs at the opposition punctuated a recital of familiar campaign positions by both men, who essentially were stand-ins for their ticket leaders. MONDALE ACCUSED ,Presi- dent Ford of "one of the most outrageous statements e v e r made by a president in recent history" when Ford said in the last presidential debate that Po- land was free of Soviet domina- tion. Dole repeatedly said he didn't know what Jimmy Carter stood for, claiming "Carter has three positions on everything; that's why they're having three de- bates." They most frequently turned to economic arguments, Dole Mao'S widow linked tHua murder plot By Reuter PEKING - Mao Tse-tung's widow Chiang Ching was accused yesterday of plotting to assassinate Premier Hua Kuo-feng, Mao's successor as chairman of China's Communist Party and leader of a quarter of mankind. Reliable sources said the former actress and three leading radicals - party Vice Chairman Wang Hung-wen, Vice Premier Chang Chun-chiao and Yao Wen-yuan-were widely said in reports circulating among Chinese to have planned to murder the moder- ate Hua. A BITTER WALL POSTER campaign erupted, denouncing the "Shanghai Four" as an "anti-party plot group." . In Shanghai, where Madame Mao and her colleagues rose to political power during the cultural revolution 10 years ago, slo- gans appeared demanding: "Crush and strangle the gang of four." Sources there said the city and Futan university campus were littered with posters crying: "Crush the heads of the four dogs.' STUDENTS PREVIOUSLY regarded as close supporters of Madame Mao and her followers attended meetings to criticize them, the sources added. The sources said some Chinese had been told that three con- servatives had been killed in an incident connected with the leftist assassination plot. See MME.

THOUGH THEIR delivery was quiet, almost informal, one- line barbs flew back and forth throughout t h e 78 - minute nationally broadcast e v e n t, wvhich ran three minutes longer than scheduled. For example: Dole: "I couldn't understand why Gov. Carter was in Play- boy magazine. But he was. We'll give him the bunny vote." Mondale: "I think Sen. Dole has richly earned his reputation as a hatchet man tonight by saying World War II and the Korean War were Democratic wars." Dole: "I just wish Gov. Car- ter had a foreign policy. He doesn't have any." Mondale: "Sen. Dole has prob- ably the worst record on sup- porting tax loopholes" in the Senate. AFTER THE debate, Mondale said, "I feel good about it," adding that he thought Dole had spoken in "negative terms," avoided substantive answers and looked backwards. Carter telephoned Mondale to tell him he was proud of his performance. "You didn't get small, you didn't get mean, you didn't get twisted in your ap- proach." President Ford called Dole from Ford's hotel in Joliet, Ill., and told his running mate: "You were smerb, youawere confi- dent. You hit hard, but bit fairly. You thought of a lot of verv effective points." ' DOLE SAID HE thought he had won the debate and de- clared: "I thought we'd have tougher questions." He said Ford told him, "I did a great job."

Most of the increase, which will be submitted to the state later this fall, is taken up by an 11.5 per cent salary adjustment for faculty members. Additional increases were necessary, the Uni- versity says, to make up for loss of federal as- sistance funds and to keep up with inflationary trends. THE BOARD WAS ALSO presented with the 1976 University fiscal report - and in a spirited cross-table debate voted to publicly oppose Pro- posal C, a state ballot proposal the Regents fear may result in trouble for higher education insti- tutions. The increase in faculty pay, which comprises $13.4 million of the budget increase request, was exactly in line with a recommendation made by by RegentS the Committee on the Economic Status; of the Faculty (CESF) to the Regents last month. "I think it's absolutely essential that, we offer increased salaries to get the best faculty possi- ble," said Regent David Laro (R-Flint). ALTHOUGH he called the 11.5 per cent pay raise - which translates into over $13 million- "feasible," Laro warned that "It's difficult to foresee" whether or not the lawmakers in Lan- sing would cover such an increase. If the state fails to cover the pay raise stu- dents might end up helping pad their professors' pockets with additional tuition dollars. CESF's findings were, reflected in a table which ranked the University fifth in a list of 14 "peer" institutions in the amount of compensa- tion paid to all ranks of professor. The commit- tee's report stresses the importance of maintain- ing salaries at a competitive level so -as not to lose faculty members to higher paying positions at other Universities. 10, See BOARD, Page 8 Simon blasts Carter economic DETROIT - Jimmy Carter's press conference By PHILLIP BOKOVOY Special To The Daily Treasury Secretary William Simon lashed into economic proposals yesterday at an afternoon with Sen.
