Tender loving care Clennia Bond, the Kettering, Ohio woman who last Friday removed her brother from St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital amid charges of racial discrimina- tion and poor medical treatment, has decided not to press charges against the institution-at least for now. "I don't think I'll prosecute," she said, "my main objective was not revenge, but to let the public know what's happening" Her brother, University senior Harold Davis, broke both of his legs in a February 13 car crash, and threatened to kill himself because of the pain. According to Bond, the hospital did not give him the cor- rect medication or enough "tender loving care" needed for recovery. She said Davis is happy with the care he is now receiving at a Ketter- ing hospital but that "he's still very depressed over the possible loss of his leg." Bond intends to write a formal letter to hospital administra- tors, listing all of her complaints. "Maybe," she said, "they'll do something about this mess."

When their teacher assigned them to write an essay on "The Day I Become President," about half of them concluded they would be shot. Michel Rosenfeld, the teacher, said that assassina- tions had not been discussed, but the essays were written shortly after the two attempts on Presi- dent Ford's life last fall. Not all the stories had unhappy endings, however. Matthew Sullivan wrote "The gun shot off. Boom! He missed me." An- other student placed his trust in the Secret Ser- vice.

The proposed sale, first indicated by Secretary of State Henry Kissinger sev- eral weeks ago, would be the first U. S. arms deal to supply transport with Egypt in about 20 years. CONGRESS HAS 20 days to veto the estimated cash sale, which has been opposed by leading American Jewish groups and the Israeli government. In addition to the transport planes, the sale would involve spare parts, group support equipment, training of crews and other services. Opponents of the sale have expressed concern that it is a forerunner to the United States becoming a major arms sup- plier to Egypt, which has cut most of its ties with the Soviet Union. BACKERS of the airplane sale and of the idea of furnishing Egypt other military equipment argue that this would help as- sure that Egypt will not return to reliance on Moscow for its military gear and will become more amenable to U.S. influence in reaching a lasting Middle East peace settlement with Israel. In the meantime, congres- sional sources said they had been told that the United States might in fact sell Egypt a civ- ilian version of the C-130, which has no capacity to drop cargo by parachute. In addition, the plane has no electronic "friend-or-foe" auto- matic identification device. THE UNITED States has not committed itself to any arms sales to Egypt beyond the trans- port planes. Kissinger told Congress ear- lier this month that the United States "cannot be the principal arms supplier to Egypt, and I do not anticipate any further sales of such items in the next few months." However, State Department and congressional sources said several days after Kissinger's statement that the Ford admin- istration was considering sell- ing anti-tank missiles and com- bat aircraft, as well as trans- port helicopters, communica- tions system and other military hardware later this year. CONGRESSIONAL hearings on the sale of the six transport planes have been scheduled for next Wednesday, but the subject may arise today when Kissinger testifies before Sen. Hubert Humphrey's (D-Minn.) Foreign Relations Subcommittee on For- eign Aid. U. vetoes UN. censuro From Wire Service Reports UNITED NATIONS - The United States last night vetoed a resolution proposed by a group of Third World states which would have had the Se- curity Council censure Israel's annexation of Jerusalem and would have called for an end to Israeli measures against Arab inhabitants of occupied terri- tories. All the other members of the 15-nation council, including Bri- tain, France and Italy, voted for the text, which was tailored to avoid a U. S. veto. It was the 14th veto cast by the United States and the fifth time the U. S. used its veto power to of Israel Daily Photo by STEVE KAGAN Angellic pleasures Angell Hall's stately columns provide a perfect backdrop while watching a beautiful day pass. SIGNS WITH TRONY SOON: Strilhp nact htnid, prevent action against Israel. American Ambassador Wil- liam Scranton, who had charg- ed in a speech Tuesday that Is- raeli settlements in the terri- tories were obstructing peace in the Mideast, indicated the major reason for his action was that the resolution would have hampered a new U. S. effort to restart the peace process. "We are engaged . . . at this moment in an effort to regain momentum in the negotiating process that has brought some unusual progress, and I think it is fair to say there has been more progress in this effort than anything that has been under- taken since the 1967 war," the new U. S. ambassador said. He did not elaborate. THE ABORTED resolution would have deplored Israel's, failure to put a stop to actions and policies tending to change the status of Jerusalem and re- scind measures already taken to that effect. It would also have called on Israel, pending the speedy ter- mination of its occupation, to refrain from all measures against the Arab inhabitants of the occupied territories. recgniionforTUHarris claims U.S. or TU '1i By JAY LEVIN When representatives of the Ann Arbor Tenants Union (TU) and Trony Associates (Sunrise Management) pen their signatures on a rent strike settlement sometime in the very near future, the TU will have ample reason to rejoice. The collective bargaining agreement reached by the two parties to end a four-month-old rent strike makes the Tenants Union the exclusive bargaining agent for all Trony tenants, a privilege never before enjoyed by the student-run organization. A FORMAL signing is expected soon because some final de- tails have to be worked out, but the Tenants Union is pleased with the terms of the impending settlement. "Recognition of the TU is a victory for all tenants in Ann Arbor, not just Trony tenants," said Tenants Union spokesman See TU, Page 7 mady IDlWI44e uuJ ,at WASHINGTON (P) - Presi- dential candidate Fred Harris said yesterday trusted sources have indicated to him that the Ford administration is planning a blockade of Cuba if its troops engage in further intervention in Africa. At the White House, mean- while, Press Secretary Ron Nes- sen, was asked if the President is considering contingency plans regarding Cuba. Nessen replied: "There are a number of mat- ters under study in this area." Regents recollect China By STU McCONNELL "One thing we found amazing was that we could be in a city of several million people, like Peking, and hardly see any lights." Regent James Waters' reac- tion typifies many in the group of University officials and staff who recently returned from a three-week visit to China. The delegation was invited in recip- rocation for visits to the Uni- versity in past years by Chinese ping pong, linguistics, and lan- guage delegations. THE TRIP, which lasted from Feb. 9 to Feb. 27, was made by University Regents Waters, Sa- On the outside... - A series of weak fronts will disrupt our weath- er today.

The group tour- ed factories, communes and in- stitutions of learning, and visit- ed Peking, Nanking and other major cities. "You don't go to China as a tourist," Nederlander explained. "You go because China wants you to see their form of govern- ment." Nederlander was great- ly impressed with the friendli- ness of the Chinese and with "the ability of the government to feed, clothe and house" 850 million persons. "If one compares the situa- tion before 1949, with all its pov- erty, to today, one has to mar- vel," he said. "We talked to one woman who said that in 1949 there was no food to eat and rain coming through the roof. Now, well, they still have six people in a four-room house, but it's quite an improvement." HARRTET MILLS of the Far Eastern Languages and Litera- ture Department, who grew up in China and was imprisoned there for several years after the liberation in 1949, agreed that the Chinese standard of living has greatly improved. "It's an absolute turnaround," she said. "People are relatively well-dressed, they have shoes. You'd see a little boy tugging on a soldier's finger, pointing to POWER WAS struck by an- other aspect of Chinese schools -their strict adherence to the Communist party line. She re- called asking school children about their activities and being told "we are doing such and such for the revolution." Power added that at briefings by guides, answers maintained a strict party line. "You're very struck by the kind of behaviormodification there," she said. "There's a very strong commitment, bor- dering almost on deification, to the sayings of Chairman Mao." LIKE MOST developing coun- tries, China has the problem of large scale migration from the countryside to the cities. The government, however, has suc- ceeded in controlling the flow by regulating the population of the cities. "The party line is''Go to the country'," said Power. "Every- one talks about how beneficial that is." While in China, Mills spoke with Dr. Yi-fang Wu, a 1927 University graduate and presi- dent of prestigous Ginling Uni- versity from 1928 until her re- tirement in 1952. THOUGH skeptical at first of the current style of education because she thought it needed a better scientific base, Wu now firmly agrees with the present system because, in Mills' words, "it nroduces nenl ew honow NESSEN said he could not say anything further about the matter. Asked about a naval blockade, the press secretary said he could not comment. There was no immediate re- action from the State Depart- ment. A Pentagon spokesman ack- nowledged yesterday that the nation's top military staff is reviewing contingency plans for possible military action that might be taken against Cuba. SPOKESMAN William Greener said the Joint Chiefs of Staff are "participating in a National Security Council re- view of possible actions which might be taken with regard to Cuba." He said two Navy destroyers are at the U. S. base at Guan- tanamo in Eastern Cuba but that this is normal. Atlantic fleet units conduct training out of Guantanamo. HARRIS, who still is looking for his first primary victory in his campaign for the Democra- tic presidential nomination, did not identify his sources. A spokesman for the candidate said Harris received the infor- mation from one person - not several - and that the source requested to remain anony- mous. Contacted in Dallas later, Harris, former senator from Oklahoma, repeatedly refused to discuss his source but said, "I can vouch for the informa- tion." Doily Photo by STEVE KAGAN AL HABER and Carl Oglesby, (right) veterans of the SDS movement, share a moment at last night's radical reunion. Ol1d SDSers return to appra ise ations By MICHAEL YELLIN Carl Oglesby and Alan Haber, two of the former strategists behind the defunct Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), have returned to Ann Arbor with the admonition that "this is the time to begin to make a move" against contemporary politi- cal institutions. Speaking at East Quad last night, Oglesby, a former Uni- versity student, stated, "The only thing that got destroyed in the late sixties was the origization that was vital to the col- lectivity and unity of the movement" His reference was to SDS. HABER, who was responsible for making SDS a broad- based organization in 1960, told the small crowd, "We need to define clearly what we are all about; that -is where the move- ment in the sixties fell apart. "The question UNION (a national organization Haber is See OLD, Page 2 By DAVID WHITING City voters may feel a dose of deja vu this April when they go to the polls. In the past 17 months, two of the three spring ballot proposals have previously appeared on local voting machines. A pro- posal for door-to-door registration was re- jected by the Ann Arbor residents a year ago; now it is, up for another test after being slightly amended. On April 5, city voters will also make a choice on preferen- tial voting for mayor (PV) - the second such decision in as many years. date with the least amount of votes is eliminated andbhas his or hertsecond choice votes redistributed among the remaining mayoral hopefuls. The process is repeat- ed until one candidate receives a clear ma- jority. In the fall of 1974, local Republicans took target practice at the mayoral preferential voting ballot issue, but that November city voters approved the proposal anyway. Now, after losing the coveted mayor's seat to the Democrats partly because of PV, the GOP is rolling out its big guns to blast away prefential voting in anticipation of the 1977 mayoral race. 1st Ward's By ANN MARIE LIPINSKI and ANNEMARIE SCHIAVI Contrary to City Council can- didates in Ann Arbor's other four wards, council runners in the heavily black and student populated First Ward are stag- ing a race centered largely around the issue of racial ten- sion in the city. focus omAM M mmm
