AFTER A year on the board, White
resigned, saying he could not support
his wife and infant son on a supervisor's
salary. But less than two weeks later,
with assurances of financial aid from
his 16 brothers and sisters, White asked
Moscone to reappoint him.
Moscone initially announced he
would reappoint White, but later
chnged his mind and was about to name
another man as White's successor the
morning of theshootings.
White did not testify at his trial but
the prosecution played a tape of his 25-
minute confession. He said on the tape
his mind was "in a fog" and that he had
shot Moscone when the mayor asked
about his family.
HE SAID he ran across to City Hall,
wanting to see Milk and ask him why
the supervisor was opposing his reap-
pointment. Milk was shot about a
minute later.
White said he called his wife and met
with her briefly at St. Mary's
Cathedral. He surrendered to police
within an hour after the killings,
bringing along the gun used in the
shootings.
White was the only member of the
board to vote against a measure in-
troduced by Milk to prohibit
discrimination against homosexuals in
housing and employment.
The night both men were elected to
the board, Milk said he was pleased
with the political makeup of the panel.

Milliken orders study of
steep beer price increase
LANSING (UPI)-Gov. William
Milliken yesterday ordered a group of
top consumer protection advisors to in-
vestigate the steep beer price in-
creases that followed implementation
of Michigan's throwaway bottle ban.
Milliken also forwarded to the
cabinet-level group a list of current
liquor rules that could affect beer
prices if modified.
Earlier, Milliken had called for a
full-scale review of the beer prices.
"THERE HAVE been some problems
associated with our new law-as with
any dramatic innovation," Milliken
said. "One of the biggest of those
problems has been price increases in
the area of malt beverages."
Conducting the investigation will be
Milliken's Consumer Protection and
Regulatory Cabinet, made up of
representatives of the departments of
Licensing and Regulation, Labor,
Commerce, Management and Budget,
the attorney general's office and the
Michigan Consumers Council.
A joint legislative committee also is
looking into beer pries and is con-
sidering a full fledged audit of the price
hikes and whether they were justified
by the so-called bottle bill.
MILLIKEN SAID easing some of
Michian's currently stringent
regulations on beer advertising and
price posting may help lower prices by
fostering competition.
The state Liquor Control Com-
mission, at Milliken's request, singled
out current rules which could have an
effect on prices, including one which
prohibits bars, party stores and liquor
stores from advertising the price of any
alcoholic beverage.
Another regulation pointed out in the
review is a law which assigns exclusive
sales territories to distributors,
meaning no more than one distributor
may serve a given area.
"I will be standing by awaiting
recommendations by my Consumer
Protection and Regulatory Cabinet,"
Milliken said. "It is hoped that changes
in this area will ease the burden placed
on both consumers and retailers by
spiraling prices," Milliken said.
