Edgar Hoover and agents in Detroit exchanged memos on how they could make party leaders think the young Demo- crats organization at Wayne State University had been duped by Socialists. The exchanges took place in 1965 under the FBI's counter-intelligence pro- gram aimed at disrupting and/or discrediting some leftist groups. The agents in Detroit had worked _p a letter to be sent to the state and local Democratic organizations, written as if from a Republican, saying the Wayne State campus Democrats had been taken over by the Young So- cialist Alliance. Hoover authorized the proposal and suggested "the use of stationary containing the title or seal of Wayne State University if this is available through the university store or else- where." They really think of everything don't they.

C. Whoops, there goes another .. Today's slice of life comes to you via a panel of pdiatricians who say circumcising baby boys is not essential if good personal hygiene is used and that it could pose an unnecessary surgical risk. Slicing through the theory that circumcision is cru- cial to prevent cancer of the penis, a panel of med- ical experts reports that there is evidence good hygiene provides as much, or nearly as much protection. Complications from surgery in perform- ing circumcision are uncommon, but the numbers of slip-ups are on the rise. Medical authorities agree the overwhelming majority of newborn boys are circumcised. Cost of the operation is about $35. Panel researcher Dr. Lowell King of Chicago said that the operation is probably practiced more extensively in the United States than any country in the world except those such as Israel, where it is performed for religious reasons. A hot tip Twenty persons have vanished from Newport, Ore. after attending a meeting in nearby Waldport where they were "an average looking couple"' talking about UFOs and "giving away all one'-s possessions." The couple reportedly told the au- dience that volunteers would be prepared at a special camp in Colorado for a better life on an- other planet and would be picked up by a UFO sometime in the next 10 years. One woman, whose son has been missing sinice attending a meeting with the couple on Sept. 14 said, "They said they came to help many people find the way to truth through the teachings of Christ. They said Christ, Eliza, Ezekial, and all those other guys in the Old Testament left by way of UFO." Up, up and away Authorities at the Rome airport yesterday groped their way to a $1.5 million dope bust. Work- ing on a tip that armed terrorists linked to West Germany's Baader-Meinhof gang were aboard a Scandinavian Airlines jet en route to Frankfurt, a special anti-terrorists squad boarded the plane and searched the passengers and their luggage. They took Bonnie Morris of Bozemnan, Mont. to the air- port police station and undressed her where they found a corset shined like a cartridge belt loaded with 84 condoms full of liquid hashish. Her travel- line cornnainion, Chili Tuing Lan, a resident of Ana- hola. Hawaii, was storing 6 and one-half poiinds of heroin in nlasticz bags in her nurse ready to be worn as a grdle.

Ford asks extension of tax cuts Calls for reductions in federal spending WASHINGTON (P) - President Ford last night proposed $28 billion in permanent tax cuts to take effect in the 1976 election year -but only if Congress agrees to cut federal spending an equal amount. The plan drew fire from two powerful Democratic House committee chairmen who said they are developing alternative tax cut recommendations. OF THE cuts in Ford's proposal, $20.7 billion would be for individuals and $7 bil- lion for business. Reductions for individuals would be about $4 billion more than relief from the 1975 tax rebates and reductions. The House Ways and Means Committee is to begin its discussions on tax cut pro- posals today, and Chairman Al Ullman said last night that the committee drafts likely will bear little resemblance to Ford's. The Oregon Democrat said that depend- ing on which of the staff-drawn alternatives are adopted, tax reductions for next year could range from $8 billion to $12 billion- extending the eight-month, $8 billion tax cut put into effect this year. THE PRESIDENT'S address, delivered from the Oval Office, was televised live on ABC, but CBS and NBC declined, citing equal time regulations regarding presiden- til candidates. In his speech, Ford insisted the tax re- dctions "be tied together in one package" with a federal spending ceiling of $395 bil- lion for the 1977 fiscal year beginning next Oct. 1. "It would be dangerous and irresponsible to adopt one without the other," Ford said. He said the actions would be a "first step toward balancing the federal budget within three years." HUGH SCOTT, (R-Pa.), the Senate mi- nority leader, said Congress "can earn this reduction for the taxpayers by accepting the fact that spending has got to be cur- tailed. Otherwise, a tax reduction bill is a candidate for veto." Treasury Secretary William Simon told reporters Ford would veto a tax reduction bill for 1976 if Congress failed to also agree to the $395 million spending ceiling.

After a police siege of six hours, he 'eleased the last of his captives and surrendered. Not a shot was fired. "Everyone's out, everyone's all right," said Deputy Police Commissioner Frank McLoughlin. The man claimed to be affiliated with the Symbionese Liber- ation Army, which kidnaped Heart and which she later said she joined. But Police Commissioner Michael Codd said he doubted the gunman had any real connection with the terrorist SLA. LATER, THE gunman himself indicated he was not a mem- ber of the SLA. ". . . it popped into my head, I guess," he said in a telephone interview with Scott Muni, program director of 1 4 WNEM-FM. "It's almost a good mind being affiliated with them, their cause." Panel says no. second gun used to kill RFK By AP and Reuter LOS ANGELES - Seven top firearms experts yesterday rul- ed out the possibility of a second gun being used at the scene of Senator Robert Kennedy's as- sassination here in 1968. The seven experts working in- dependently at the request of a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, all arrived at the same conclusion in their joint report which states there was "no sub- stantive or demonstrable evi- dence" that a second person fired a gun. Palestinian immigrant Sirhan Sirhan was convicted in 1069 of killing Kennedy minutes after the Senator had made a victory speech upon winning the Demo- cratic Presidential P r i m a r y election in California. SINCE THE assassination some people have believed Sir- han did not act alone and some ballistics experts who studied See RFK, Page 2 a rap as any, but I wouldn't you know. I'm sympathetic to Codd tentatively identified the man as Ray "Cat" Olssen and said he was known to police, reportedly due to drug-related incidents. One of the freed hos- tages said the man was "ap- parently unstable." In San Francisco, Charles Bates, the FBI agent in charge of the Hearst case, said there was no record of a Ray Olssen in the investigation of the SLA. IN ADDITION to demanding Hearst's freedom, the gunman also asked for the release of Hearst's three imprisoned com- panions and/or millions of dol- lars in gold. At one point the brown-haired gunman, white and in his 20s, emphasized his demands with a single wild pistol shot that endangered no one and lodged in a well of the bank. "We have all the time in the world," said Codd as a small army of tolicercontinued their siege houar after hour. without anv attempt to storm the bank. "Cat," Olssen's girlfriend, sometimes called "Mouse," was brought to the scene. Earlier, a blond, curly haired man de- scribed as a friend of Olssen had arrived to talk to him. At one point, the gunman asked to talk to reporters from "High Times," a publication aimed at the drug culture.

'U' SURVEY SHOWS: Few students use hard drugfs By JIM TOBIN The University released yesterday the re- sults of a 1974 survey which show that few- r than seven per cent of University stu- dents have tried hard drugs such as LSD, mescaline, or cocaine and that even fewer use them frequently. Published in the University Record at the urging of President Robben Fleming, the release comes in the wake of a major ser- ies of drug raids September 24, which touched off a controversy among city lead- ers. LAST WEEK, Theodore Vernier, regional director of the Justice Department's Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), blamed "a permissive attitude" in Ann Arbor for excessive hard drug traffic in the city. He called "the streets, cafes, and student hous- ing facilities (of the city) a virtual super- market for heroin, cocaine, hashish, mari- juana," and other drugs. The survey is part of Fleming's attempt to counter the University's growing reputa- tion as encouraging to drug abusers. "Just because the University is part of Ann Arbor, people - when they think of Ann Arbor - think of the University," Fleming said yesterday. "Here was a case when it (the drug raids) didn't have any- thing to do with the University." THE SURVEY questionnaires were sent to 1,700 members of the freshman class of 1973-74 - this year's junior class. Seven hundred students replied. Of those who answered the questionnaires, 24.7 per cent said they used marijuana and did not plan to stop, while 33.9 per cent said they had never used it and did not intend to try it. None of those who used marijuana or hashish said they would like to stop but couldn't. SIX-AND-A-HALF per cent said they had used psychedelic drugs such as THC and mescaline but would not use them again, while fewer than one per cent of those polled said they had tried heroin. Roughly one half of one per cent said they had tried See STUDENT, Page 2 'U' cutbacks to hurt g~dschool. FlemiungN By MARGARET YAO<> Cutbacks in doctoral programs will move more professors out of graduate seminars and into undergraduate classrooms, predict- ed University President Robben Fleming after his annual 'State.: of the University" address last night. In a gloomy speech dominated by the University's present fi- nancial difficulties and centering on a discussion of the graduate schools, Fleming cited fewer acceptances into PhD. programs as "inevitable." THE UNIVERSITY'S present situation is, in Fleming's words, "not a cheerful picture. It signals hardship, but not disaster." In addition to the cost problems for graduate programs - where enrollment has actually been increasing - Fleming point- ed out the serious implications of training "too many professional Heated debate stirs City Council session By ANN MARIE LIPINSKI In a stormy session, City Council members clashed over a wide range of volatile issues last night, including revenue sharing funds and rent control. Tempers flared ts the meet- ing extended into the early morning hours when Mayor Al- bert Wheeler threatened to leave council chambers unless order was restored. Later, Kathy Kozachenko (HRP-Second Ward) withdrew from the meet- ing after she failed to receive support from other members on a rent control resolution. The rent control resolution in- troduced by Kozachenko - but which died for lack of support - called for council to instruct the city attorney's office to put into ordinance form the rent control charter amendment which was defeated by voters at the polls last April.
