Under the 1970 Clean Air Act Amendments, automobile emissions of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons have to-be reduced in 1975-model cars by 90 per cent from their 1970 levels. But the law permitted Ruckelshaus to grant a one- year extension if he found the deadline could not be met despite "good faith" efforts by the auto makers. Peter Kahn, executive director of Citizens for Clean Air, said, "What this means for urban areas where there are enormous numbers of fleet vehicles is an enormous improvement." Sen. Thomas Eagletan (D- Mo.) of the Senate pollution subcammittee, welcomed the ruling but argued it was a hol- low victory. He said EPA had vie .inar yties already given the auta makers m a j o r concessions "which " make taday's decision akin tao tprl'im aPry ra e clasing the garage door after the car has been stolen."

COULD HURT ESCH: New congressional districts for state ordered judge By The Associated Press U.S. District Judge Damon Keith, tired of legislative delays, has ordered a realignment of the state's congressional districts under a Democratic plan de- signed to cut the Republican ad- vantage from 12-7 to 10-9. The new apportionment alters the Ann Arbor area Second Con- gressional District to make it easier for a Democrat--most notably State Rep. Marvin Stempien of Livonia-to defeat incumbent Republican Marvin Esch this fall. Meanwhile, Republican mem- bers of the Commission on Legislative Apportionment have balked at a State Supreme Court order to vote for adoption of a Democratic plan for the state's 110 House and 38 Senate seats. Chief Justice Thomas Kav- anaugh had no immediate com- ment on the commission stale- mate. Judge Keith finall settled the congressional redistricting fight yesterday after watching the legislature work without result for weeks, It is the State Legislature's duty to redraw the boundaries of the state's 19 U.S. House seats. However, state elections of- ficials said they couldn't wait indefinitely. Boundary lines have to be set well in advance of the Aug. 8 primary. Keith heard arguments in April on Republican and Demo- cratic plans and then waited to see whether the Legislature would agree to anything. He finally ordered the Demo- cratic plan adopted, which was superior to three Republican proposals on the basis of popula- tion equality among districts. The new Second Congressional District includes Ann Arbor; all of Monroe County except for Carleton Township; the cities and townships of Northville and Plymouth; and much of Livonia.

State Democrats send 132 delegates to their national con- vention; 48 party delegates at- tend the Republican natienal convention. Precinct delegates on the bal- lot have their names above those presidential hopefuls to whom they are committed. A delegate may also run uncom- mitted. A voter, however, is not bound by his vote for the presidential candidate to vote for delegates committed to that candidate. Over 4110 Democratic candi- dates are seeking election to the Washtenaw county convention. See STATE, Page 9 I I The Air Force is for Nurses who want to go places.
