' 'THE GOVERNMENT is con- tending t h a t two Philippine nurses, Leonora Perez and Fili- pina Narciso caused the rash of breathing failures that summer by injecting a fast-acting mus- cle-relaxant called Pavulon into the patients' intravenous medi-3 cation tubes. Christine Loesch yesterday de- scribed the man in the green scrub suit as about 5 feet 11 VA suspects emerge inches tall, 175 pounds with a "thick build" and round face with baby skin-"olive skin." Defense attorney E d w a r d Stein brought out a green sur- gical scrub suit, and asked Mrs. Loesch if it was the kind the unidentified man was wearing. "IT WAS really wrinkled," Loesc h said. "This looks ironed" The defense also won a major victory when Judge Philip Pratt ruled to allow them to interview the psychiatrists of former VA nursing supervisor Betty Jakim. JAKIM, WHO committed sui- cide on Feb. 3 in Florida, "con- fessed" to the VA murders, ac- cording to a report published Monday in the Detroit Free Press. Jakim had been treated at the Neuro - Psychiatric Institute at the University of Michigan. The Free Press reports that she con- fessed to her psychiatrists "I did it. I really did it," before she committed suicide. Defense A t t o r n e y Thomas O'Brien, in his 'opening state- ment to the jury on March 29, quoted Betty Jakim as saying "you'll be surprised in the very end to find out who did it. . . . I believe in the innocence of these two Filipino nurses .. . I'm horribly fearful of the FBI and guilty." JAKIM WAS once considered a suspect by the FBI during the course of their investigation. It wasn't until March of this year that the government learned of the reported "confessions." US. Attorney Philip Van Dam did order the reopening of the Ja- kim investigation, but defense attorneys still asked for a dis- missal of the charges against Narciso and Perez because of the prosecution's failure to share information about Jakiim's con- fession. t adge Pratt denied listmotion to dismuiss the case,, but said that he will allow the attorneys : to question Jakim's psychiat- rists. The judge said that the defense of the two nurses super- ceded the confidentiality of patient / physician relationships since Jakim is deceased.

Regardless of her personal tastes, she says that an an ar- tist she stands without any real influences. She creates her own theories, and makes her own vision. de Hirsch feels that although the art of film has been around for only a century, it has, in that time, progressed remark- ably. She -points out how one of her earliest films was criti- cized when she made it for containing hand-held camera wrk, a technique which is to- day universally accepted. de Hirsch continues to pur- sue her unique vision, in her poetry and films. When view- ing one of her old films recent- ly, she said that she noticed some flaws. However, optimis- tically she claims "the great- est jewel on earth wouldn't ze as great unless it had some minor flaws." t s I !t*j 5 CLONLARA'S SUMMER CIRCUS '71 TWO TALKS by Michelle Russel Author, Organizer, Feminist from Detroit "WOMEN, WORK AND POLITICS" TUESDAY, MAY 24-2:00 p.m. Lecture Room 1, MLB "BLACK WOMEN, WHITE WOMEN, AND FEMINISM" TUESDAY--MAY 24-7:30 p.m. West Conference Room, Rackham SITE: 1289 Jewett Street-Ann Arbor on 3 acres of wooded grounds DATES: June 20 thru August 26 TIME: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. AGES: -21 to 11 year olds Special CHILD CARE HOURS: 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. FULL DAYS-HALF DAYS-SEVERAL DAYS For Brochure and Enrollment Form or Information CALL 769-4511 or 665-7415 NOW U I V ' Steam ng G Russian RYe SREAD ALL YOU CAN EAT!
