Friday, May 13, 1977 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Three Ford Motor to stay in S. Africa By KEITH B. RICHBURG A proposal before the stock- holders of the Ford Motor Com- pany to end the giant automak- ers expansion in White-ruled South Africa went down to an overwhelming defeat yesterday. A statement of support for the proposal issued Wednesday by a group of Stanford University students apparently had little effect on the vote. Stanford owns 93,350 shares of Ford stock. The proposal called on the Ford Motor Company to "cease further investment in the Re- public of South Africa" and "terminate its present opera- tions there" until that country abandoned its policy of "the legally enforced form of racism called apartheid." TIMOTHY SMITH, a proxy- holder from New York, con- fronted Ford hoard chairman Henry Ford II with a statement from the Stanford Committee for a Responsible Investment Policy (SCRIP) - the Stan- ford student group. "There has been a great deal of ferment at Stanford Univer- sity," Smith said. "Over 3010 students, faculty, staff and alumni have urged the board of trustees to vote yes on this proposal." Referring to a protest at the college last Tuesday which led to 294 arrests, Smith said, "a far greater evil is created by Ford's presence in South Af- rica. " had recommended a vote against the proposal, introduc- ed by the American Baptist Home Mission Society, The United Presbyterian Church and the United Christian Missionary Society. In justifying their posi- tion, the company said: "Ford believes that it has done and can do more to advance the cause of racial equality . . by remaining in South Africa to provide jobs and ameliorate conditions than by terminating operations and turning its back on its employes there." In the official results of the voting, the piroposal was de- feated 98 per cent to a scant 2 per cent. A SCRIP spokesperson said earlier if the proposal got 10 per cent of the votes it would be See FORD, Page 14 olicetdifer shot? By EILEEN DALEY A 29-year-old man was ar- raigned yesterday and charged with felonious assault for al- legedly beating an employe of the Downtown Club following an argutment. Arrested was Alfred Canada, a resident uof the swntown Club, a boarding house located at 110 N. Fourth Ave. THE VICTIM, 41-year-old Wil- liam Bristol, also a resident of the club, claims Canada shot him. Police, however, say Bris- tol was not shot. According to Ann Arbor Police Lt. Richard Hill, an argument between the two men broke out when Bristol, a part-time secur- ity guard at the residence, ques- tioned Canada about having vis- itors in his room-a violation of See POLICE, Page 14 Ford Motor Company Board Chairman Henry Ford II shuffles papers before calling to order the company's annual stockholders meeting where shareholders voted overwhelmingly to continue the automaker's operations in white-ruled South Africa. FORD'S BOARD OF Directors What counselor can't cop, con can By KEITH B. RICHBURG information can, by rules of the court, re- it's in litigation," a Bureau spokesman The attorneys defending two Veteran's Administration (VA) Hospital nurses would like to have a copy of the FBI official man- ual. The Bureau, on the other hand, takes great umbrage to having its privileged information made public. The defense at- torneys, responding in kind, subpoenaed the manual. The FBI, however, said 4'no." Thus the matter was thrown into court, with defense attorneys confident that the FBI would be forced to honor the subpoena and with the FBI certain that top secret main top secret. SO THE BATTLE lines were drawn and the two sides seemed in hopeless deadlock until an inmate in Marion, Illinois threw a monkey wrench into the machinery of jus- tice. The unidentified inmate requested, and received, his own copy of the FBI official manual under the Freedom of Information Act. The defense now believes that its side has the edge, and the FBI isn't com- menting. "I don't have any comment except that said. He did add, however, that it is not up to the FBI whether or not to honor the subpoena. "It's up to the Justice Depart- ment," he said. DEFENSE ATTORNEY Michael Moran feels more strongly. "Their willingness to release it (the manual) shows that they don't consider it privileged," he said. "And anything not considered privileged can be subpoenaed." - The manual has come up again and again during the course of the VA trial, now in a week of recess. Gold and Silver Streak If you're planning to take the train to Chicago, do it before June 1. Amtrack announced its second fare increase in less than a year Wednesday, blaming inflation and losses of equipment and fares last winter. The price increase on the Chi- cago to' Detroit run will be three percent,plus a surcharge. In hard dollars, that means a one- way coach ticket from Ann Arbor to Chicago will cost $17 (up from $15.50) and a first class ticket will cost $26.25 (up from $24.25). Coach fares to Detroit will rise from $3.00 to $3.25, and first class fares to Detroit will go from $4.75 to $5.10, though an employee at Amtrak's Ann Arbor station added "We don't sell too many first class fares to De- troit." An Amtrak spokesperson said Wednesday that the cold winter caused equipment breakdowns, and the company is now incurring unexpected re- pair costs. Henry Cafe Come and have lunch this afternoon at Henfy Ford's pool. Oh, Henry won't be there, of course, and it may cost you a little something, but Mon- day the University's Dearborn campus added Ford's old swimming pool to its "list of chic restaurants. "The Pool" features wicker chairs, plants, wait- resses in chemise-style uniforms, and marble bench- es by the poolside heated with radiators. The pool -TODAY- was built in the 1920's, and with a sort of George- Washington-slept-here pride the University points out that Henry himself "took an occasional dip" in the 50-foot laggoon. So now, you can have both a bite of a sandwich and a piece of history which, as the old man himself asserted, is bunk..

Get a horse Amid the ringing promises to conserve energy and cut government waste, a lot of people as- sumed that thefleaders on Capitol Hill would be giving up their gas-guzzlingg Cadillac limousines for more economical means of transportation. Hu- bert Humphrey on a Honda, Peter Rodino in jog- ging shorts, Barry Goldwater hitchhiking - the mind boggles. But now the truth is out, and it proves to be less than stirring. Three House lead- er said Wednesday they would scrap their Caddies for that champion of the energy-conservation move- ment, the Oldsmobile 98. The Olds 98, Speaker Thomas O'Neill pointed out after announcing his switch, "gets 18 miles a gallon. The Caddies only got 14." And the Graf Zeppelin only got eight.
