DETROIT INTEGRATION CASE: Kel to ask high'court to stay LANSING, Mich. (')-Michi- gan Atty. Gen. Frank Kelley said today he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court for a stay of U.S. District Judge Roth's order for cross-district integration of Detroit area schools if Roth will not grant a stay Monday. Kelley said he felt Roth's decision was "wrong and cannot legally be sustained." He said "a decision of this magnitude should be reviewed by the higher courts, especially in light of the important federal decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in the Richmond school matter." The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently overturned a district court order which con- solidated schools for integrega- tion purposes in Richmond, Va., and two suburban counties. Meanwhile, William Saxton, attorney for 40 of the 52 white suburban school districts affect- ed by Roth's ruling, said yester- day he has already filed an ap- busing peal with the high court. He said, however, he doubts the court will hear the appeal be- cause a specific plan has not yet been issued. Roth's Wednesday ruling did not set up a busing plan as such, but rather named a nine- person pannel to study the ques- tion and draft a plan within 45 days. Roth's ruling also drew the fire of Michigan Gov. William Milliken, who said, "Massive busing will not only be disrup- tive but counterproductive." Milliken said yesterday, how- ever, President Nixon has in- formed him that the federal busing moratorium will probably not apply to the Detroit situa- tion. The recently passed anti- busing bill temporarily halts busing orders for 18 months or until all appeals are exhausted. Milliken's office said the President told the governor, that preliminary indicators are that Detroit would not be covered order because Roth has not specifical- ly ordered busing. Kelley and Milliken several months ago appealed Roth's finding that Detroit schools were segregated by law. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati refused to hear the appeal, saying Roth had not, at that time, issued an appealable decision. Kelley then went to the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court has not yet decided whether to hear the case. Kelley said he could go direct- ly to the high court with a stay request, without first seeking one from the Appeals Court. The attorney general said, "Judge Roth admits he took no proofs of de jure segregation in any area outside Detroit. He would be hard put on appeal" to show that state officials were guilty of legal segregation. In the absence of a stay, Kelley said state officials -would be bound to follow directives issued by Roth. departments. The most serious repercus- sion from the proposed strike would be the cessation of rub- bish pickup and waste-water treatment services. Nelson Watling, president of the local, said union officials are meeting with city officials in an attempt to settle on a contract. At present, Watling said, the entire employe pack- age offered by the city is unac- ceptable to his union. Robert Guenzel, chairman of the city's negotiating committee said he was not sure exactly which aspects of the tentative agreement were unacceptable to AFSCME members. Guenzel said the dispute in- volves several issues and cited wages and the pay plan as points of controversy. Guenzel would not comment on detailswof the tentative agreement but said it did con- tain wage increase for all work- ers. "We didn't agree on across- the-board pay increases. Some workers would receive a great- er pay increase than others," he added. Guenzel said a study of the city's classification and pay plan recently conducted by the Public Administration Service shows that pay for jobs being performed by AFSCME work- ers is as high, if not higher. than comparable communities in the area. Last year, AFSCME mem- bers received a 9 percent wage increase and the previous year a 7 per cent increase. AFSCME is the largest of the city's eight bargaining groups. Regents disceuss SGC fe By ROBERT BARKIN A plan to increase Student Government Council funding from 50 cents per student per term to $100 was discussed at a Regents open hearing yesterday. SGC President Bill Jacobs said funds gained from the planned fee hike will be used for a legal advocate and the funding of a student grocery cooperative. Jacobs claimed that SGC is a "responsible organization" and that the actions planned will show "that we are no longer in- terested in spilling oxblood on tables. The idea of increasing SGC funding has been in the wind for several years. An SGC ref- erendum calling for an increase was defeated twice, in March, 1971 and last November, before passing narrowly last March. Lawrence Lindemer (D-Stock- bridge) voiced objections to the legal advocate. "The only thing that your attorney could do that isn't presently done by a Univer- sity attorney for you," he said, "is sue the University." President Robben Fleming said that he was not concerned about this aspect. "We keep telling the young to work through the system," Fleming said. "Now we can't tell them not to." Regental decision on the pro- posed funding may come today.
