City officials
fight billboard
restraint order
By ALAN LENHOFF
City officials yesterday were unsuccessful in their bid to nullify
a court ruling which temporarily restrains the city from enforcing
its four-day old billboard ordinance.
Livingston County Circuit Court Judge Paul Mahinske issued the
restraning order Monday at the request of the Central Advertising
Company, and set a hearing on the issue for Sept. 13.
Mahinske, as a visiting Circuit Court judge here last January,
uled the city's 1966' billboard ordinance unconstitutional.
The effect of Monday's ruling was to prevent the city from re-

W WASHINGTON W) - The
House of Representatives passed
its version of the draft extension
bill yesterday which would pro-
long conscription for another
two years while urging President
Nixon to negotiate a final date
for removal of all U.S. forces
from Indochina.
Sen. John Stennis (D.Miss.)
chiarman of the Armed Services
Committee, said the measure
will be brought up for Senate
action after the August 6 through
September 8 congressional re-
cess.
A* The Senate version of the same
bill cled for a nine-month dead-
line for withdrawal.
Although Stennis doesn't for-
see "a great deal of trouble"
for the bill when the Senate re-
turns, doves have threatened to
filibuster the measure if the
stronger Senate amendment is
not reinstated.
Although the House version is
less vigorous in its language, it
was the first time the House had
ever voted to impose a congres-
sional stand on the President for
ending the war.
The language of the amend-
ment generally follows that of
the Senate version, expressing
the sense of the Congress that
the President should negotiate a
cease fire and name a "final
date" for withdrawal of U.S.
forces in return for the setting
of a "date certain" on Hanoi's
party for release of U.S. prison-
ers.
It also calls for a "series of
rapid and phased" U.S. with-
drawals corresponding to Hanoi's
release of prisoners.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME
ocal athletic clinic includes girls
By P.E. BAUER
"Fore! Fore! Sandy, you're supposed to move
when I say that!"
Four hundred boys and girls, from nine to
eighteen, overran the Par Three golf course yes-
terday as part of the fourth annual summer sports
clinic, sponsored jointly by the Ann Arbor Re-
creation Department and the University athletic
department.
The program of professional sporting advice
provided by University coaches seemed similar S'
to those of other years, except that there was one
major addition. Girls.
As the result of a suit brought against the city
by PROBE, a local women's group, girls were
allowed into all of the events offered by the pro-
gram this year for the first time. The events in-
cluded football, wrestling, track, gymnastics; base-
ball, basketball, and golf.
The addition of girls to the program has boosted
attendance to 1,400, "the largest turnout ever,"
according to Don Lund, assistant athletic director
who is in charge of the program. But along with
the increased attendance, the addition of girls has
meant a few unprecedented complications for the
coaching staff,':
