Senate Bill-1 draws controversy
(Continued from Page 1)
illegal to incite the overthrow of
the government, to organize,
lead, or recruit members for an
organization whose purpose is:
inciting an overthrow of the
government, and to be an ac-
tive member in a group with
that purpose.
Defenders of S-1, say the con-
troversial portions only repre-
sent a small part of the mea-
sure and point out other sec-,
tions they feel represent re-
form.
Peter Weston, a, University;
law Professor, said that under
S-i for the first time there'
would be judicial review of
senteinces, thus eliminating'
what he calls the current lack
of protection with respect to
sentencing and the absence of a
check on the judge's decision.
"IT WOULD eliminate the
disparities and injustices which
now occurs" Weston said.
According to Weston the bill
stipulates that someone must
notify consumers who were
harmed by the fraud and that
the victims can then exercise
their right to sue.
The bill makes discrimination
on the basis of sex a crime,
Weston added.
"S-1 SIMPLY rationalizes the
federal criminal code. We've
never had a coherent code like
European nations do" Weston
says.
Simon, however says he
agreesdwith the idea of codify-
ing federal law, but feels there
should be a concerted effort to
reform the law, eliminate dis-
crepancies and "outmoded no-
tions."
"Why start with basically dis-
eased material" he asks.
Another major source of con-
tention in the bill is the set of
provisions opponents say will
violate a person's right to as-
semble.
UNDER S-1 a riot is redefin-
ed as a public disturbance in-
volving ten or more persons
which is "violent and tumult-
ous" and causes "grave dan-
ger imminently causing injury
to persons or damage to prop-
erty.
Opponents have charged stillj
another provision violates the'
right of assembly and the
rights of laborsunions. Under
S-1 "a person is guilty of an
offense if he obtains property!
of another by force or by
threatening or placing another
in fear that any person will be
subjected to bodily injury or
kidnaping or that any proper-
ty will be damaged."
Thic section of S-1 carries a
maximum 15-year prison term
along with a fine of $500,000 if
the defendant is an organization.
The ACLU charges that this
provision will i n h i b i t labor
unions from exercising their
right to strike.
Recently there have been
moves made by legislators and!

EVENTS surrounding two 1974I
Derby Bar killings support the
chief's allegations. On a balmy
Saturday night that summer a
man walked into The Derby and
fatally shot a male patron at;
the bar. There were no wit-
nesses.
A month following that inci-
dent a vicious fight occurred in
The Derby. In the midst of the;
struggle, the two men involved!
went out the back door. One of
the men was later found fatally I
stabbed in the alley behind the
bar. No one described the other'
participant who took part in the
dispute.
Krasny, who started his police
career in Ann Arbor, recalls:
that The Block has always been
a tough assignment for the cops,
"In the early forties and fifties
a call to Ann Street tickled your
spine a little bit."
HIS assessment of the area

for 15 months," Yvonne states;
dryly. "Cops come in The Derby
and hassle people. Like Greg-
ory, they hassled him last week.
Thought he was pushing some
drugs up his arm. Last month:
they came here and hassled:
Cheryl, thought she was push-
ing drugs up her arm."
Krasny reports that police at-
tempts to close down The'
Block's illegal operations have'
been ineffective. "It's like swat-
ting flies," he notes.I

STICH focused on the conten-
tion of some critics that the
experiments should not continue
because they conceivably could
lead to development of an ir-'
reversable "killer strain."
"It starts out with a premise
that is surely true," Stich said.
"We cannot say there is a zero
probability of a d o o m s d a y
scenario."
But maintaining that esti-
mates indicate the probability
of disaster to be extremely low,'
Stich said those who demand thej
risks be lowered to zero are de-
manding "the cessation of all
human activity."
STICH ALSO called the argu-
ment that cost-benefit analyses I
are out of place when dealingI
with the risks of genetic engi-
neering "patently untenable"
Iand referred to tht t sitiona

It Takes iore Than Magic
To Eliminate Pollution...
It takes more than technology, too. It takes
money-a great deal of it-to control air
and water pollution, make it safer for
eimployees to do their jobs, improve the
quality and safety of products and, at the
same time, conserve our nation's energy.
Since 1970, we at Allied Chemical have
spent $125 million on environmental
hardware alone. Nearly 500 Allied Chemical
employees now work to upgrade safety,
health and environmental conditions at our
150 plant locations. Over the next three
years we will commit about $140 million,
12 percent of our capital spending, to
environmental betterment. It's a big job
and much remains to be accomplished.
But our purpose and policy are to do the
right thing. We are not alone in this. A
survey of 130 chemical companies
shows they will spend $2.4 billion between
1975 and 1977 to protect our country's
dividend to stockholders. And we can pay
millions in taxes that help support all
kinds of governmental programs. Without
adequate profits, we can do none of these
things.
In a period when profits are more
necessary than ever, they are far from
adequate. A recent survey showed
Americans think the average manufacturing
corporation makes more than 30 cents
profit on every sales dollar. In fact, the
average in 1974 was about 5 cents.
Business can and will do the environmental
job expected of it. But it's going to take
more profits-not magic-to do the job.
