He said it was directed against the outlawed IRA, which wants to unite this British province w i t h the Irish republic to the south. Faulkner made no apology for the internment policy. "We are, quite simply, at war with the terrorists," he said. "In a state of war many sac- rifices have to be made. The ac- tion we have taken does not in- dicate any policy of repression." Eddie McAteer, president of the Nationalist party, which represents traditional, non-soci- alist Catholic opinion, asked: "Does England really think that this morning's Gestapo-type ar- rests will do anything but fur- ther incense the Irish people?" Bernadette Devlin, the Catho- lic civil rights leader, and Prime Minister Jack Lynch of the neighboring Irish republic join- ed other Catholic leaders in de- nouncing the interment decision. While dozens of houses occu- pied by Protestants burned on the 'edge of the Catholic Ad- royne district in Belfast, gun- shots rang out and occupants were ordered to leave. Rioting also troubled London- derry and Newry, a town near the border with the Irish Re- public. Fighting included bursts of. automatic gunihre, burned build- ings and gasoline bomb attacks. The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association called for a general strike to resist the in- ternment policy. Con eil selects tax committee By ALAN LENHOFF City Council last night ap- proved the nominations of 15 persons to a committee charged with investigating the city's fi- nancial problems and advising Council on the necessity of a city personal income tax. The committee was formed largely in response to a city re- port issued last week which in- dicated that city expenditures may almost double within five years--merely to keep city services at their current level Also at last night's session, City Attorney Jerold Lax re- ported that he has not yet met with Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny to discuss why the city's marijuana ordinance has not been used. Council re- quested this meeting last week. The city ordinance makes marijuana possession a misde- meanor, but in every case thus far, the police have chosen to prosecute under state felony statutes. Lax said he will meet with Krasny shortly. F1ica wire Service Reports A Investors yesterday watched' cautiously as the U.S. dollar en- countered new troubles in Eu- rope, plunging to its lowest level in 22 years on the Frankfurt money market. The dollar's value was set at 3.42 marks, the lowest since W1949 when West Germany reval- ted the mark upward for the first time after World War If. U.S. currency was also at a low ebb in London, Paris and Zurich. Concern about the dollar prob- lems abroad and the depressed economy at home kept investors inactive as stock prices in the United States skidded lower. Soviets promise aid to ,India in case of attack By The Associated Press India and the Soviet Union yesterday signed a 20-year treaty of peace, friendship and cooperation which spokesmen for the two governments said was designed to prevent war on the Indian subcontinent W After the signing of the treaty, it was learned that the Paki- stani government had invited Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who signed the treaty for the Soviet Union, to visit Pakistan, A senior Indian official who briefed newsmen on the treaty said that the Soviet Union's only real obligation to India in case of an attack would be "to enter into mutual consultations with us and then we could decide what effective steps would be taken," However, he also said the U.S.S.R. had given India an as- surance of sophisticated arms and military equipment to meet any threats from abroad. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi iemphasized in a speech at a political rally that India remained nonaligned but "it is our policy to strengthen our friendships and this will strengthen us." "Our critics may say we have shifted our policy toward the superpowers," she continued. "This is not true." The current conflict between India and Pakistan, which the treaty was designed to meet, stems from the move East Pakistan r~ade for independence last March. The West Pakistani army forcibly put down the dissidents, sending seven million refugees fleeing to India. India sympathizes with the rebels. Secretary of State William Rogers met with United Nations Secretary U Thant twice yesterday to discuss the dispute. Rogers, however, said political matters were not discussed at the meeting, because the humanitarian problems of the refugees was of first im- portance. Rogers brought a check for $1 million to the secretary general, who said the need for immediate contribution in -cash and goods was "urgent," Trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange fell to its lowest level in nearly a year as prices sank sharply. Turnover reached about 8.1 million shares, the lowest since last Aug. 17 when 6.9 million shares changed hands. In other domestic develop- ments, the American Iron and Steel Institute yesterday reported a wceekly drop in steel production of 51.8 per cent, the largest in inure than 11 years. Industry sources said the cur- rent drop was due to massive hedge buying in recent weeks, in which steel users built up their stockpiles in anticipation of a steel strike. Agreement on a new labor contract was reached by the steel companies and the United Steelworkers Union with- out a strike. At the White House yesterday, President Nixon signed a bill making the federal government a cosigner for $250 million in pri- vate loans to Lockheed Air- craft Corp. The - measure, al- though leaving open the possibili- ty of the government backing private loans to any company whose collapse might damage the economy, was tailored spe- cifically to Lockheed. The President also signed a $1 billion emergency- employment act. The measure is planned to help economically depressed areas provide jobs for 150,000 persons. The president said that the group of hard-core unemployed the bill is designed to assist should be at work by Labor Day.
