B-1 production,

(Continued from Page i)
But Congressional supporters
of the B-1 bomber geared yes-
terday to try to thwart Presi-
dent Carter's decision not to go
ahead with production of the
controversial plane.
But Carter has solid support
fisom the Democratic leaders of
the House and Senate.
THE BATTLEGROUND will
be the defense appropriation bill
now before Congress. The $110
billion measure contains about
$1.5 billion for production of five
B-1's.
The House was debating the
bill when word came of Car-
ter's decision and Rep. George
Mahon, (D-Tex), chairman of
the House Appropriations Com-
mittee, declared, 'The President
has the right to make recom-

mendations, but under the Con-
stitution, Congress has the re-
sponsibility for the defense of
the country."
Mahon added, "I will resist
any effort to take the plane
out of the bill before us now."
AFTER MAKING HIS an-
nouncement, Carter told a con-
gressman he wishes he had
made his decision before the
House vote.
"I dio think many of the peo-
ple who did vote for the B-1
did it with the thought that I
would support it," the President
said, referring to recent specu-
lation that he would go along

said he was "extremely disap-

Tower said that despite tech-

siles, they are not yet "a sub-
stitute for manned bombers."

NICHOLSON NIGHT 11
CARNAL KNOWLEDGE
(Mike Nichols, 1971) 7 & 10:30-MLB 3
Its examination of the lives of two friends, beginning with their
college days in the 40s to their adult lives in the 70s, is a compell-
ing, fascinating presentation of two men. From sex-hungry young
men to sexually bewildertded' adults. Sandy (Art Garfunkel) and
Jonathon (Jack Nicholson) follow their human odyssey to destina-
tions as opposite as their original personalities.
A SAFE PLACE
(Henrv Jalom, 1971) 8:45 only-MLB 3
An incredibly courageous and personal first film, unforgiveably
buried by poor distribution and consequently, rarely seen. A SAFE
PLACE is an attempt at redefining the emotion of time, a fantasy
about reality, a film dealing in the pain and isolation of a woman
(Tuesday weld) who is trapped by her inability to let go of the
past (personified by Orson wellts) and her unwillingness to accept
the inevitability of the present (represented by Jack Nicholson in
what he has called his favorite role). writer-director Henry Jaglom
deserves much credit for extending himself in a way few film-
makers dare: above all, he deserves to have his film seen. A New
York Film Festival Presentation. Ann Arbor Premiere.
The Incredible Shrinking Man
(Jack Arnold, 1957) 7-MLB 4
A mysterious vapor causes a man to shrink until he's only inches
high. The film's imaginative use of special effects features the
hero's panic-stricken escape from a clawing house cat, his efforts
to obtain cheese from a mousetrap in order to survive, and his
use of needle and scissors to fight agant spider.
ALPHAVILLE
(Jean-Luc Godard, 1965) 8:45-MLB 4
Thot pulp French movie hero Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine)
finds himself surrounded by intrigue on a distant planet ruled by a
tyrant and run by computers. One of the most ingenious and bril-
liantly designed of Godard's films. In French, subtitled.
DANGER: DIABOLIK
Morio Bova, 1968) 10:30-MLB 4
Mario Sava, noted for his intriguing atmospheric films, creates a
dazzling evil mastermind, Diabolik, a slilmy leather-suited comic
strip type. See Diabolik coated in molten gold, his girlfriend dressed
in erotic mod attire, and a $10,000,000 theft. With John Phillip Law.
