"One way to prove your claim to a badge was to bring back an enemy ear," says former Sgt. Frank Shepard, 23, of Plymouth, Mich. "The badges turned my stomach," he said. "It was like we were on a hunting trip or something." The badge was awarded by the 5th Battalion, 60th Infantry, 9th Infantry Division while it was stationed at Rach Kien, South Vietnam, _during the summer of 1969, Shep- ard said. Study says auto when Sen. Philip Hart (D- 1 71Mich) inquired about the badges to the Defense Department, the j department replied by letter dated Dec. 18, 1969, that "information received from headquarters 2nd to c ntin e !Field Force, Vietnam, indicates that the Sat Cong badge was a Detroit-area auto factories will program recently instituted in the probably not call back many laid- 5th Battalion, 60th Infantry." off men or hire new workers in The letter, signed by Col.

James A. Rhodes, Ohio Adj. Gen. Sylvester T. Del Corso and Brig. Gen. Robert H. Canterbury, head of Ohio guard units. The suit charged that the de- fendants ordered the National Guard to the campus and in so doing "intentionally and malici- ously disregarded the lives and safety of students, spectators and passersby i n c l u d i n g Allison Krause." The suit also contended that the three defendants knew there was no cause, or insufficient cause, for sending "armed troops" equipped with guns and live am- munition. Krause also asserted that the three knew the troops were not properly trained in using loaded weapons in the presence of civil- ians who were not similarly armed. The suit asked for $1 million compensatory and $5 million pun- itive damages, claiming wrongful death and violation of Miss Krause's constitutional rights. Although National Guard offi- cials had originally said that the shootings occurred only after a sniper had fired shots at the Guardsmen, the head of a federal probe Tuesday said there was no evidence to substantiate the stories. "At this time we do not have sufficient evidence to support the presence of a sniper at Jackson' State or at Kent State . . .," said Asst. Atty. Gen. Jerris Leonard.

UNIVERSITY 761-0700E Open daytime beginning June 22ndj Two University economists report there are indications the 1970 recession will be the longest since World War II and that "a turning point cannot be expect- ed earlier than the end of the year.", The economists, George Ka- tend and Jay Schneideskamp, say a national study conducted by the Survey Research Center also indicates a turnaround will not occur "until consumers re- ceive good news." "No doubt," they say, ."there is a recession in the consumer sector at present," but they add tht "it is a mild rather than a sharp one." While reporting that "people see no sign of a slowdown in in- flation," they say that "in view of rising income, most people say that inflation hurts them only a little less than 25 per cent that it hurts them much or very much." "On the other hand," the re- port cautioned, "the extent of consumer apprehension should not be underestimated. The de- teriation in buying sentiment has continued already for 15 months, and present readings show that it has slowed rather than ended."

Other sources indicated that the fighting broke out after troops opened fire on a band of guerrillas from the Marxist popular front. A cease-fire agreement an- nounced Tuesday between govern- ment and guerrilla officials col- lapsed and fighting was reported continuing in every sector of the capital city.
