Econ summit
WASHINGTON ()-The eco-
nomic summit in France ended
in an agreement to stop erratic
fluctuations in monetary ex-
change rates, but it may take
months to determine whether
anything more was accomplish-
ed.
President Ford and leaders of
five other industrialized nations
issued an impressive-sounding
document that pledged to keep
the world from slipping back
into recession, and they seemed
also to be saying what is good
for their countries is good for
the rest of the world as well.
"THE GROWTH and stability
of our economies will help the
entire industrial world and de-
veloping countries to prosper,"
they said in a communique is-
sued after the talks ended Mon-
day at the secluded Chateau de
Rambouillet outside Paris.
President Ford returned to
Wasington immediately after the
summit.
U.S. officials appeared pleased
at the compromise reached with
the French to control exchange
rates and to establish a new in-
ternational group of officials, in-
cluding central bankers, to per-
iodically consult on how and
when to influence the rates.
SECRETARY of State Henry
Kissinger called the agreement
"perhaps the single most sig-
nificant" of the summit.

Secretary of the Treasury!
William Simon said the agree-
ment, which will be formally
adopted at the International}
Monetary Fund meetings in Ja-
maica in January, should bring
about more orderly and stable
exchange rates.
"This instability that we've
had contributed to, as well as
resulted from, tremendous in-
stitutional financial strains," in-
cluding erratic movements in
prices of goods within countr:es,
he said.
THERE were agreements on
a great deal else at the summit,
according to the Declaration of
Rambouillet, but little detail
was given on how the six coun-
tries-the United States, France,
West Germany, Italy, Japan and
Great Britain-would carry them
out.
They agreed to keep *he re-
covery from recession going;
they agreed to prevent a new
recession; they agreed to reduce
unemployment, and they agreed
to prevent another outburst of
inflation in the world.
"We will not allow the re-
covery to falter. We will not
acceptanother outburst of in-
flation," said the declartion.

Meeting
By PHIL FOLEY
Art lovers traveling north
along US-23 near Hartland may
take a second look at the paint-
ing on the side of a barn. In-
stead of a chewing tobacco ad-
vertisement, the face of Bal-
dassare Castiglione silently
watches traffic pass.
The original wasdone by Ra-
phael Sanzio in 1514 and was
copied in black and white on
the barn of Robert Wakeman
this past summer by a young
artist who prefers to be known
as Ziggy Grabowski.
A FEW miles further north on
the expressway, on the barn of
Cornell Dexter, his giant copy
of John Singleton Copley's
"Paul Revere" gazes thought-
fully towards Flint.
Besides these Ziggy has two
other barn paintings near Hart-
land, both original- composi-
tions. One is a self-portrait on
the Crouse Centennial farm on
Crouse Rd., the other an un-
titled work on the old Will Cul-
len farm at the corner of
Crouse and Cullen Rds.
Ziggy isn't the artist's real
name. But as he sees it, "No
one ever knew who did the Mail
Pouch paintings so why should
they know who I am?"
ALONG with his dislike for
publicity, Ziggy has one other
trait that-is unusual for some-
one who paints barns - he's
afraid of heights.
FBI harassed
King - Senate
WASHINGTON WP)-The staff
of a Senate committee said yes-
terday the FBI waged a cam-
paign against the late Rev. Mar-
tin Luther King Jr., including
sending a letter which King in-
terpreted as a suggestion he
commit suicide.
The campaign to destroy
King's influence also included
the planting of 16 electronic
bugs and eight wiretaps and an
effort to hand pick and promote
a successor to him as the na-
tion's most influential black
leader, committee lawyers said.
The successor's name was not
revealed.
THE DISCLOSURES came as
the top lawyers of the Senate
Intelligence Committee detailed
FBI efforts to investigate, in-
filtrate and discredit thousands
of persons in groups ranging
from the Ku Klux Klan and the
Communist party to the wo-
men's liberation movement.
In the case of King, Smothers
testified that a draft of the
anonymous letter his wife re-
ceivedrwas found at FBI head-
quarters in the file of deputy
director William Sullivan.
They said Sullivan maintains
the draft letter was planted in
his files by persons attempting
to discredit him.
.But they added the FBI does
not dispute its authorship of the
letter or thefact it was de-
livered to King.

AFTER graduating from
State in 1970 Ziggy did his first
barn. It was another "Mona
Lisa" and at the time sort of
a political statement. "I know
it sounds corny now," says Zig-
gy, "but remember the times.
Big Brother is watching and all
that."
In the summer of 1972, after
finishing grad school at MSU,
Ziggy did two more barns. One'
was a copy of a Japanese print
of an 18th century courtesan,
done on a barn near the MSU
campus which has since been
destroyed.
The other was a copy of "The
Duke of Urbino" by Piero della
Francesca on a barn in Novi. At
the end of that summer Ziggy
got a job teaching art history at
Madison College in Virginia.
Each painting takes about two
or three days to plan and then
about 10 hours to draw a pre-
liminary outline with chalk. The
actual painting, which is done
with Latex house paint, takes
roughly 36 hours. Ziggy works
from a gridded photograph and
usually expands a small area of
the original painting.
HE HOPES that his paintings
will last about five years.
Ziggy's biggest obstacle to.
completing the six barns he
plans to do next summer is
coming up with enough money
to continue his graduate stu-
dies in print making at Cran-
brook. But, says Ziggy, "If peo-
ple see the stuff and get a lit-
tle pleasure from it, then I'm
happy."
