budget cuts put pressure on police (Continued from Poge it 4W perhaps a little slower and with not-quite- so new equipment. The real change will come vwith police activities with the University snd with special community events. One major area of concern is the sum- mer rock c o n c e r t s. Krasny had 0 pointed out that the concert organizers are going to have to "take on the responsi- bility to police themselves," since the de- partment is limited to on duty manpower. However, Krasny said Monday that the open use of narcotics at the concerts "will have to stop" or else "the role of police will be re-examined." At the University, police activities v'ill also be curtailed. As a result of anticipated budget cuts in Lansing, the University is only planning on giving the city $350,000 for police and fire protection-a reduction of $800,000 from last year. Thus, police have been forced to examine ways of operating within their budget. "We realize the University is part of the city and for criminal activities we will have to use the same amount of energy to prevent crime and apprehend criminals as we have in the past, regardless of the amount of money we receive," says Krasny. "But," he adds, "special services will be hurt, and many will be discontinued. Although we will take care of the move- ment of people and traffic as much as pos- sible, patroling at events - inside the Crisler Arena or Hill Aud., for example- will have to be done by the University." Further, "if the University requests any special service, such as stationing two of- ficers in the ROTC Bldg., these will have to be negotiated with direct payment," Krasny says. Within the police department, cuts will be made administratively to save money and manpower. "There will be s o m e changes made in operational proce- dures," says Krasny. "For example, some people now on duty inside will be out on the street patrolling. Also, much will be cut in the area of training. Since we are not going to have any new men, we can easily cut out the training pro- gram,' Krasny quips. Individual departments w ill also be receiving some cutbacks, but the over- all results seem rather minimal. The only real effect of the budget cuts would be a decrease in some equipment, Klinge says, but he added it would prob- ably not be significant. In the detective bureau, Sgt. Calvin Hicks feels the overtime reduction will have a serious effect on his depart- ment more so than any other depart- ment since the nature of their work is investigative. "If one is in the middle of a case," says Hicks, "it is difficult to knock off and say I'll pick it up to- .morrow." The unit, however, received no cuts in personnel, and the major cut was in new equipment. Larcom explains that the way the cuts were made, the larger departments, such as police and public works, received personnel cuts, while the smaller de- partments did not. In the police department, seven em- ployes will have to be dropped as of July 1. Only two of these persons will have to be laid-off however. Others eith- er resigned or were placed in other po- sitions. three aite Siiwn ti REDUNDANT High-67-73 Low-43-48 Sunny and mild Wednesday, June 9, 1971 N.Y. workers agree to end 2-day strike NEW YORK (U)-The muni- cipal workers who opened the city's drawbridges and closed some of its sewage treatment plants in strikes for an im- proved pension plan agreed last night on a plan to shelve the dispute and end the walkouts. The men accepted a plan by the city's Office of Collective A. Bargaining that would postpone until next year action by the state legislature on a proposed new pension system. It was Al- bany's refusal to approve this system that touched off the walkouts which snarled traffic Monday and spread yesterday to sewage treatment plants, gar- bage disposal facilities and some school lunchrooms. Only about 1,000 of the city's 400,000 nonuniformed workers were involved. Meanwhile, the last of 29 drawbridges which had been locked in open position by a strike of 318 bridgetenders was put back in operation last night after a Teamster's union local ordered the men back to work. The settlement plan provides that if the legislature should fail to act favorably on the pension plan in 1972, the issue will be renegotiated by the city and the union. Mayor John Lindsay called the settlement "a sensible, rational, orderly procedure for the next year."

MEMBERSHIP DENIED: Complainlt cites Union sexism By JONATHAN MILLER A woman graduate student who was denied life membership in the Michigan Union has filed a complaint on the matter, charging the refusal constituted "blantant sex discrimination." Marcia Abramson, who holds a bachelor's degree from t h e University, filed a complaint last week with Claire Rumel- hart, the University's office of student services women's ad- vocate. Yesterday, Rumelhart said that she had "been upset about the life membership policies of the Union for some time," but added that she had been under the impression that the r u I e Action unlikely on abortion bill (Continued from Page 1i Upon referring the bill to committee March 15, Ryan had announced that the committee, which was considered to be op- posed to the bill by a two to one margin, would be enlarged specifically to give it a fairer and more comprehensive hear- ing. Ryan's action was unpre- cedented. At that time, Allen had sought to block sending the bill to Ryan's committee choice, pre- ferring to give it a Nearing be- fore a less hostile group. Last week, A ll e n told The Daily that "Our best count leads us to believe that we don't have the votes to get it out (of com- mittee)." Allen expressed hope yester- day that a citizens' petition drive could force the issue onto a state-wide ballot. He discounted the probability of successfully extracting the reform bill from committee by House action. However, he did say he thought such action will be at- tempted. It is necessary that a majority vote of the full House pass any motion to force a bill from committee. This procedure is little-used and seldom success- ful. In a related development, the New York state Assembly voted Monday to prohibit commercial, profit - making abortion referral organizations f r o m operating within the state. Governor Nel- son Rockefeller must now ap- prove the bills, already passed by the Senate, which also call for stricter regulation of abortion procedures. Since the enactment last July of New York's liberalized abor- tion law, numerous referral ag- encies have been established. These agencies serve primarily out of state women, directing them, for a fee, to physicians and hospitals for abortions. The three bills passed yester- day had been soughtiby Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz, who has opposed the commercial ag- encies since their inception last year. If the bills are enacted, no person, firm, partnership or cor- poration would be allowed to earn a profit by referring a pregnant woman to health facilities for an abortion. Violators could receive maximum jail sentences of five years and fines up to $5,000. Thus, if Governor Rockefeller signs the bill, abortion referral will be limited to such non-profit agencies as Planned Parenthood. A second bill included in the package prohibits "group dis- counts" which were allegedly given by some hospitals to agen- cies that had referred large num- bers of patients for abortions. And the third bill bars all re- ferral services from providing information on clients to anyone other than a law enforcement agency. barring women from holding life membership had been changed. Stanfield Wells, the manager of the Union, said however that under the 1904 Constitution of the Union, women can not be- come life members although they were entitled to all privi- leges extended to men at the Union. Miss Abramson denied this however, stating, "How can wo- men be entitled to all privileges when they are not entitled to the privilege of 1i f e member- ship.," A life membership at the Un- ion entitles men to cash checks and use Union facilities after ceasing to be students at the University. Rumelhart is to write a letter to Wells, asking him to clarify the situation before further ac- tion is taken. Abramson however, said that unless she is permitted to be- come a life member, unspecified "pressure" will be applied on the Union. Men are entitled to life mem- bership of the Michigan League, originally the womens' only equivalent of the Union. The Michigan Daily, edited and man, aged by students at the University of Michigan.

It also took two steps to end the month-long debate over a house-passed bill to extend the draft law for two years, agreed to vote June 16 on the Hat- field-McGovern amendment to cut off funds for the Indochina war on Dec. 31, and to decide a week later whether to end over-all debate on t h e draft measure. The agreements-plus adop- tion of a pay provision close to that voted earlier by the House - strengthened chances that Congress will pass a two-year draft extension before the Se- lective Service law expires June 30. It could mean that the meas- ure approved by the Senate could be accepted in the House without it having to go to con- ference. A conference report resolving differences between House and Senate bills could be subjected to a filibuster that would drag consideration out past June 30. Draft officials have said, however, they could c a 11 on more than a million previously deferred men, including college students, if necessary to keep the flow of military, manpower going after June 30. The pay provision approved yesterday was offered by Sen. Gordon Allott (R-Colo.) and was passed 51 to 27. The $1-billion figure asked by the administration was backed by the Senate Armed Services Committee and was upheld by the Senate on a May 26 roll call. At that time, the Senate re- jected 42 to 31 a proposal by Sen. Harold E. Hughes (D-Iowa) to add $1.7 billion in pay and allowances and bring the figure in the Senate bill in line with that voted by the House. That amendment was pushed by senators favoring an immedi- ate switch to an all-volunteer force or limitation of draft ex- tension to one year. Both of those proposals were beaten in separate votes last Friday, and some senators said that this enabled senators favor- ing higher pay, but opposing anything short of a two year extension, to vote for the Allott amendment.
