4 & * 4 10 A I S Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, July 22, 1970 Wednesday, July 22, 1970 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Prices, cost of living continue rise in June WASHINGTON I') The gov- (rnment reported yesterday that inflation in mid-1970 still is chipping away 6 per cent an- nualv from the value of the dollar, but the Nixon Adminis- tration said the rise in living costs is slowing. The Labor Department's June report on living costs showed prices up four-tenths of one per cent for the month, a slight eas- ing from previous months, but still almost as high as 1969's 20- year peak of 6.1 per cent. But the report, wrapping up price and wage developments for the first half of the year, said 45 million rank-and-file work- ers still were lagging in pur- chasing power for the 15th straight month because prices outstripped wage hikes. The average paycheck of $120.05 per week in June was up $1.65 from May and $4.83 above a year earlier, but was worth $2 less weekly in pur- chasing power because of infla- tion. President Nixon and his chief economic advisers cited the slightly slower rise in prices as evidence that the prolonged in- flationary pressure is easing in response to Nixon's monetary and fiscal restrictioins. While Nixon officials argued yesterday the nation's worst in- flation in 20 years is ending, Democrats set the stage for a full House fight over the econ- omy by moving to give the Pres- ident something he says he doesn't want and won't use-au- thority to freeze wages and prices. The House Banking Commit- tee, acting on party lines, voted to give stand by power to the President to put a temporary lid on prices and wages at the levels in effect two months ago. Secretary of Labor James Hodgson pointed to increased productivity by workers, said he foresees no major jumps in un- employment, and argued the cooling of inflation makes the nation's current jobless rate of nearly five per cent worth the discomfort. But Democrats, mounting a growing attack on the Nixon administration's economic poli- cies, set up a full-scale debate in Congress by tacking on the possible wage-and-price controls to a pending bill. The Banking Committee's move would authorize-but not require--President Nixon to put a temporary freeze in effect at levels of last May 25. The freeze authority would expire next Feb. 28.

The British Embassy in Zambia came under attack. India declared that resumption of arms sales by the new Con- servative government would raise tensions in the Indian Ocean area. "We are aware that both Asian and African members of the Commonwealth have got a fairly clear notion that this is a step which will have consequences," said a Foreign Ministry spokesman in New Delhi.

The packed public gallery was occupied largely by a sizeable con- tingent of members of the press, but a few of those women who revel in the agony of a major trial were also present. One woman, who in earlier times would have been found sitting knitting by the guillotine in postrevolutionary France, was pax'ticularly obnoxious as she wal- lowed in the spectacle. She became so annoying that the only empty space in the court became centered around her as people edged to- wards each other, preferring discomfort to her babbling. Collins himself smiled at his mother as he entered the court- room. He sat, flanked by a plainclothes deputy, stiff and seemingly emotionless, although he took a great interest in the proceedings. He occasionally consulted with his lawyers, but in the main it was as if he were not even on trial. The slight air of unreality in the courtroom yesterday may be due to the fact that both sides are relieved. that the tiring process of jury selection is over, and that the trial is to be so long that to rush would be futile. There is little doubt, however, that within a few days the contest will have settled down into a trial, in both senses of the word. WELCOME!

Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda telephoned Prime Min- ister Edward Heath in London and warned him that the plan would have grave consequences. Heath also received a message from President Milton Obote of Uganda who warned that any arms shipments to South Africa would be linked directly with what he called South Africa's "inhuman treatment" of its black majority. Malaysia's Foreign Ministry declared that sale of arms to South Africa would violate a U.N. embargo and would also "clearly undermine the Com- monwealth." Foreign Secretary Sir Alec Douglas-Home told the House of Commons on Monday that Britain ,had not made a final decision and that it would await consultation with South Africa and the Commonwealth govern- ments. Douglas-Home added that no sales would be authorized until Parliament is informed. It will be on summer vacation for the next three months. The furor over the tentative arm sale plan has obscured the point that weapons are not the main issue. The Michigan Daily. edited and man- a'~ed by students at tine University of Micnigan.

C alley to challenge Army co urts WASHINGTON (P)-Lt. Wil- liam Calley Jr. has become the fourth soldier charged in the alleged My Lai massacre to challenge the Army's court- martial as unconstitutional. Lawyers for Calley, w h o is charged with the premeditated murder of 102 Vietnamese civil- ians, filed suit in U.S. District Court here Monday, asking that the charges be dismissed. The petition seeks to block his scheduled 'Aug. 24 military trial. If that is denied, Calley, 27, of Miami, Fla., wants a civ- ilian trial by jury. Courts-martial have been or- dered for five of the 12 m e n charged in the 1968 incident in the South Vietnamese village. Calley's petition, as did three which preceded it, contends mil- itary court procedures violate the Constitution's due-process clause. The suit contends Calley is being held illegally in the Army, seeks his discharge and men- tions the widespread publicity given the My Lai case. Calley's petition said that through its investigative tech- niques and leading questions. and by informing prospective witnesses of others' testimony, the Army, "aided- by the Ameri- can news media," has so mold- ed testimony that potential wit- nesses now a r e brain-washed about the true facts. -Rex Reed Ema .ul .
