Thursday, August 1 974 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Turks continue to battle at Cyprus despite cease-fire NICOSIA, Cyprus (,')--Turkish troops ignored the newly signed Cyprus cease- fire accord and drove Greek Cypriots from two towns along the northern coast yesterday, a United Nations spokesper- son said. The spokesman said Turkish naval guns and tanks shelled the towns of Karavas and t.apithos seven and nine miles west of Kyrenia, forcing the Greek Cypriot national guardsmen to abandon the towns. A GREEK Cypriot who reached Nico- sia from the northern coast said a hattle raged for about two hours in the vicinity of the two villages about midday. "The Turkish firepower blackened out the sun," lie said. Earlier, C y p r u s President Glafcos Clerides, the leader f the Greek Cyp- riots, lodged an officiatl complaint with the United Nations, charging Turker wits continuing to expand the terrltor under their control In his protest, Cleridcs said tie Turks iave contintriusy violated the cease fire in the Kyrenia and Nicosia districts. le accused the Turkish army of more than doubling territory under its control since the initial United Nations-imposed cease- fire went into effect on July 22. TIlE LATEST cease-fire was part of a troop disengagement agreement signed by the foreign ministers of Greece, Turkey and Britain on Tuesday in Geneva. That agreement came under strong criticism yesterday from the Greek Cypriots, who claim it was too one-sided in Turkey's favor. In Athens, Foreign Minister George Mavros, who signed the a c c o r d for Greece, denied charges that it was a sellout to the Tlurks. Al the same time Greece began demobilizing thousands of reservists who had been called tip bectiuse of thne Cypruts crisis. Meanwhile in Atikara, Turkishi 'retiier Bulenit Ecerit said that if Turkey and Greece cannot resume friendly relations they should withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. "We cannot be allies and yet arm against each other. It is illogical, para- doxical," he said. "We should either cease our collaboration within the frame- work of the alliance or fully cooperate." Ecevit said he favors -cooperation. A TURKISH force estimated anywhere from 25,000 to 40,000 men holds a 200- See TURKEY, Page 10 AP Photo U.N.

U.N. forces have the major job of peace-keeping according to accords signed by Britain, Greece and Turkey; but Turkey so far has not honored the cease-fire. ms. take similar stand in S in S..m Snate primary By DAVID WHITING Four candidates, who all take liberal stands on campaign issues, are battling for the Democratic Party nomination in the 18th State Senate District primary next Tuesday. In the race are Cynthia Churchill, Peter Eckstein, Gerald Faye, and Harold Moon. The winner will face incumbent Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Arbor) and Hu- man Rights Party hopeful Lisa North in the November election. THE CANDIDATES all favor a state- wide graduated income tax, repeal of Michigan's food and drug tax, decrimi- nalization of marijuana, campaign fi- nancing reform, stiffer enforcement of anti-pollution laws and increased edu- cational funding. Churchill, a member of the National Organization for Women, stressed that few women hold political office. She also pointed out the need to update "an- tiquated" juvenile justice laws. Eckstein, an associate professor of economics at Western Michigan Univer- sity, emphasized both his activity in the Democratic party and experience in lobbying at the state level. FAYE, A political science professor at Oakland Community College, has high- lighted "equitable financing of educa- tion" and his "full scale campaign" against Bursley throughout the race. Moon, a bail bondsman, has set for his major themes the "statewide aboli- tion of parking meters" and "breaking up special interest groups" with dis- criminatory legislation aimed at big business. Campaign financing reform has been one of the major issues in the race with Moon pointing out he is "not accepting one cent" in contributions for his "$4,000- 55,00" caitipaign. SPENDING far more than the others, Faye plans to spend $7,000-$8,0(0--most of which he claims is his own money-- in the primary. Faye further contends he is limiting personal contributions to $100 and has put a $500 ceiling on group donations, claiming he "will not be beholden" to anyone. Eckstein has set no limit on contri- butions claiming his largest donation was $100 e x c e p t for $1,00 from his parents. Estimating his primary budget at "a little over $4,000," Eckstein said he was relying heavily on volunteers in his campaign. Churchill, employed at Computer Op- erations, has chosen to set a $5 limit on donations in her "less than $500" cam- paign. But she admits few have been willing to give more. See 4, Page 9 Public officials resign over financial disclosure statutes By The Associated Press Some public officials are quitting rattier than comply with strict new laws that require them to tell the voters how much money they make and where it -omes from. Fifteen states have passed financial disclosure laws since Watergate and the revelation of 1972 campaign finance abuses. Fourteen others already had such laws on the books, and more are working on them. BUT MANY officeholders say laws that allow the public to peek at their bank books and tax returns go too far, Alabama's law is one of the strictest in the country, requiring full disclosure of personal finances by all state, county and municipal employes who make more than $12,000 a year. Even college pro- fessors accustomed to the privacy of the campus world have suddenly been required to tell the public about their money matters. The Alabama League of Municipalities says some 15,000 public employes are affected and about 300 have already re- signed because of the 1973 law. Another 1,400 are ready to resign if court chal- lenges to the law are unsuccessful, the League says. IN CALIFORNIA, voters month passed a law requiring all state officials and about 7,000 local officeholders to report all gifts and sources of income over $250. A less strict law passed last year led to the resignation of nearly 60 poli- ticians. In recent years, resignations have also followed the enactment of disclosure laws in Florida and Washington. There is some evidence that the public doesn't even care to know about the private financial affairs of their officials In a recent survey of 1,502 households, pollster touis IBarris reported that a large majority, 69-27 per cent, supported full disclosure of big campaign contri- butions; but almost as great a majority 62-32 per cent, said that a candidate's personal income was not a fit subject for public discussion. "APPARENTLY the public has not been overly impressed with the value of such disclosures," Harris said. "What does arouse the public, are any ties between a candidate and special interests that might influence him after he is elected."
