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 with at least limited production of the bomber, Carter's decision to emphasize the cruise missile elevates the missile t U.S. str with the and sea ballistic al.

"The President has recognized the enormous costs and limited benefits of this program and his decision squares with the numerous defense experts who believe that the B-2 is not justi- fied," said Culver. But supporters of the plane will fight the Culver move. Sen. John Tower, (R-Tex.), senion Republican on the Sen- ate Armed Services Committee, said he was "extremely disap- pointed" by the Carter decision. Tower said that despite tech- nological advances in the devel- opment of unmanned cruise mis- siles, they are not yet "a sub- stitute for manned bombers."

ANN AI0CL [iM cc-0ic Saturday, July 2 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.
