alities of Michigan politics as
Zolton Ferency, former Demo-
cratic candidate for governor,
have linked their names with the
effort.
The Human Rights Party, like
other such parties, presently sees
as its major objective gaining
ballot recognition as a prerequi-
site to serious electoral work.
Party leaders say the ballot
campaign is underway and hope
to have the necessary 15,000
signatures by September.
Radicals at many universities
around the nation are following
the trend toward electoral poli-
tics by establishing alternative
parties in an attempt to gain
control of their city govern-
ments.
In Berkeley, Calif., an ad-hoc
coalition between a predomi-
nantly white group called the
April Coalition and the predomi-
nantly black Black Caucus, has
managed to win seats for three
radical candidates on the city's
eight man council.
In Madison, Wis., also a uni-
versity community, the radical
Wisconsin Alliance Party has
experienced considerable success
in recent years in electing mem-
bers to the city council.-
Here in Ann Arbor, the last
city election was marked by the
entry on the scene of a newly
formed third party-RIP.

Plagued by problems of or-
ganization and the perennial
hassle of not having a place on
the ballot, however the party
was able to muster only about
200 votes.
Like other parties lacking bal-
lot recognition, RIP is now turn-
ing its attentions to gaining a
position on the city ballot,
through the commtssion. and on
the state ballot by gaining
necessary signatures.
In an attempt to gather all
the separate alternative parties
around the nation into one na-
tional alliance for the 1972 elec-_
Lions a meeting is being held
July 3-6 in Albuquerque, N.M.
The meeting will be attended
by delegates from the New
Party, the Peace and Freedom
Party, Michigan's Human Rights
Party, RIP and many others.
The purpose of the gathering
is to decide on a preliminary
platform for the national party.
Meetings will also be held to
d i s c u s s national coordination
and gaining ballot positions in
all 50 states.
Neither of these goals have
been achieved by leftist third
party presidential campaigns of
recent years, and both are es-
sential for a serious and lasting
political presence.
In Ann Arbor and other
cities across the nation fledgling
political parties such as RIP are
viewing with interest these pro-
ceedings while concentrating on
local grass roots organization.

As one RIP member put it,
they're "exploring the possibility
of mergers but are far from any
decision on it."

Monday, the council apptbved on
first reading an amendment to
the ordinance authorizing the is-
suance of "stop-work" orders to
builders who fail to live up to
their agreement.
Part of the caution ciaracter-
izing the negotiations is due to
the uniqueness of the project.
Containing one million squt, re
feet of floor space, Briarwood
would be one of the largest cen-
ters of its kind and draw custo-

recognized that Briarwood would

But Kelley said he obtained court
permission to return to Indiana

Yesterday Mitchell defended
the Nixon administration's policy
a usingvwiretaps in domestic
subversive cases withottt prior
court approval, maintaining that
electronic surveillance "has been
a vital part of the government's
defense against subversion for
three decades."
Addressing the Virginia Bar
Association, Mitchell said thh no-
tion has never before faced "so
many revolutionary elements de-

termined to destroy by force the
government and the society it
stands for."
"The threat to our society
from so called 'domestic subver-
sion' is as serious as any threat
from abroad," he said.
. "These 'domestic' forces are
ideologically and in many cases
directly connected with foreign
interests." Mitchell said.
The governmentt now is appeal-
ing to the Supreme Court an Ap-
peals Court ruling that electronic
surveillance of domestic grops
is unconstitutional without a
court warrant obtained in ad-
vance.
