It was the ITT merger with
Hartford Fire Insurance that
figured prominently in the Sen-
ate confirmation hearings this
year for Richard Kleindienst to
be attorney general.
Democrats on the Senate Ju-
diciary Committee said approv-
al of the merger was linked
with an ITT contribution from
an ITT subsidiary for the Re-
publican convention.
The complex arrangement be-
twveen ITT, Lazard Freres and
Mediobanca was detailed in the
14-page complaint. The SEC
traced transactions between the
three firms back to 1969.
According to the suit. ITT, in
proposing to merge in early
1969 with Hartford Fire, sought
to obtain a favorable tax rul-
ing from the Internal Revenue-
.Service. But the suit said in
order to do so ITT had to get
rid of the Hartford stock it
owned before the merger could
take place.
The complaint said ITT went
to Lazard and arranged a deal
to dispose of its Hartford Fire
stock. The suit said Lazard con-
tacted Mediobanca in Italy.
A contract was signed be-
tween ITT and Mediobanca on
Nov. 3, 1969 to dispose of the
stock.
InkJune, 1970, the suit said,
ITT offered to exchange one
share of its preferred stock for
each outstanding share of Hart-
ford Fire common stock. As a
result, Mediobanca exchanged
the Hartford Fire shares for 1.7
million shares of preferred stock
issued by ITT, the suit said.
Mediobanca and the Lazard
firm obtained a total fee of $2,-
170,000 for its efforts on behalf
of ITT, the suit said. The SEC
said no registration statement
was on file with the commis-
sion in connection with the sale-
of the ITT preferred stock.

Court refuses to order n
State Senate elections in'

By NANCY ROSENBAUM
A lawsuit which would have
forced new State Senate elec-
tions this year was dismissed by
the Michigan Court of Appeals
yesterday.
The complaint, filed by the
N e w Democratic Coalition,
maintains that state senators
should be elected this year from
the new State Senate districts
based on the 1970 census popu-
lation and established by the
May 4 Michigan Supreme
Court apportionment decision
which made large changes in
the boundaries of the present
districts.
The plaintiffs main argument
is that the incumbent state
senators represent grossly mal-
apportioned districts.
The court, presided over by
Judges John Lesinski, Jay Gil-
lis and Vincent Brennan did
not state their reasons for dis-
missing the complaint but said
they would issue a detailed
opinion early next week.
Perry Bullard, attorney for
the New Democratic coalition
said he will ask the State Su-
preme Court to reconsider the
case early next week.
The Michigan Supreme Court
had previously declined to hear
the case prior to the Court of
Appeals decision.
Bullard said he may take the
case to the federal district
courts if it is dismissed by the
Supreme Court.
The decision will not effect the
race for State Representative or
the Congressional race in Ann
Arbor's district.
Hullard is a candidate for fh
Democratic nomination for the
State House. The race is for the
seat of incumbent Ray Stoit, a
Republican.
The congressional race in the
newly apportioned district will
face the winner of the Demo-
cratic primary against incum-
bent Marvin Esch, a Republican,
Chief plaintiff in the case,
filed against Secretary of State
Richard Austin, is Gerald Six-
bey, County Commissioner for
Livingston County.
Sixbey said he thought the
court dodged a decision on the
case. "They were afraid of its
political repercussions in an
election year."

The County Commissioner
said that he thought the people
of Livingston County would not
be fairly represented by the in-
cumbent Senate for the next
two years.
Livingston County is now rep-
resented by State Senator Gor-
don Rockwell.

Two years from now, how-

senting a different district
which does not include any part
of Livingston County.
Sixbey said that it would
consequently be difficult to
hold Rockwwell responsible for
his actions in the next two
years.
The complaint is based on the
concept of "one ian--one vote"
representation which requires

sentation in the State Senate
until 1975 unless new state
senate elections are held this
year, he said.
In addition, vacancies must
be filled in special elections
from the new districts, which
would leave some citizens com-
pletely without representation
until 1975.
This is the first suite of its
kind in the state of Michigan
although similar cases in other
states have been reviewed.
Several states have constitu-
tional provisions which 'allow
for special elections after new
reapportionments.
Sixbey said that he would
like to see the state legislature
provide for elections after re-
districting but seemed doubt-
ful that the State congress would
pass legislation of that sort.

Miami prepares 4,000

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. t(A-A security force of some 4,000,
including game wardens, is being mustered as city of-
ficials brace themselves for an influx of protesters during
the two national political conventions.
The force is being put together in anticipation of a
crowd that officials estimate could number anywhere
from 50,000 to 250,000 persons.
Gov. Reubin Askew has assigned 3,000 National Guards-
men to be on duty during the Democratic convention which
starts July 10 and the Republican gathering which begins
Aug. 21.
Askew said the guardsmen would be stationed in the
Miami area as part of their normal summer training but
would be "available on short notice in the event they are
'needed to assist law
enforcement personnel as-

Those freshmen will have experienced that
