The Regents also approved a
new operating budget for Uni
versity Hospital which includes
a $15 increase in daily service
charges.
ACCORDING TO teptha tDaI
ston, hospital director, "Rav
ing to raise our rates at all is
regrettable, but these increases
aie well within hospital infla-
tion rates and we are a self-
supporting institution. It should
be noted that our daily service
charges are generally below
those of other hospitals in the
area and that our hospital sup-
ports more educational ex-

pense through its daily service
charge than other hospitals in
the area."

5-year-old main hospital unit,

During the public participa
tion session of yesterday's
meetng, the Regents heard
from 1)iuumi Martz a representa-
tive of the African National
Conference (ANC), which is re-
cognized by much of the world
as the official representative of
the African people of South Af-
rica.
MARTZ, a freedom fighter
who is in exile from South Af-
rica, urged the Regents to di-
vest the University of over $43
million worth of stocks in Amer-
ican companies, whose opera-
tions in South Africa serve to
underpin the apartheid regime
there.

the illegally registered non-city
residents was "a by-product of
a project to redraw precinct
boundaries,"
According to the report, the
city was redrawing the pre-
cincts with the help of a com-
puter to comply with a state
law which allows precincts
only 1400 voters. The computer
processed approximately 75,000
registered voters and found
1,021 voting addresses did not
match city addresses. From
that number, the city weeded
out the technical errors and-
narrowed the list to 173.
THE REPORT said the non-
city residents were able to reg-
ister because of an incomplete

fortunately, the guide does not
take into account township is-

times addresses beyond the
city limits," the report said,
To ascertain the errors will
not be repeated, a new Street

which will contain the correct
city boundaries, Wieder said,
BECAUSE OF the pending
lawsuit against Wheeler, Robert
Henry, Belcher's lawyer, sug-
gested the: possibility of voter
fraud when knowledge of the il-
legal registration first surfaced
last week. However, Wieder
doesn't anticipate any legal ac-
tion against the voters,
"I'm not aware of anyone
actively considering any legal
action against them," Wieder
said.
The revelation of the massive
non-city resident voter incident
could favorably influence Bel-
cher's suit against Wheeler.
According to Henry, legal
precedent states that when the
number of substantiated illegal
votes surpasses the disputed
election's win margin the elec-
tion is usually voided.
IN THIS case, the results are
surpassed by 20 illegal votes.

was caused by both lightning
and its inability to cut off a
limited number of customers
quickly, the utility said yester-
day.
Speaking at a news confer-
ence at thecompany's head-
quarters, chairman Charles
Luce said the situation was
compounded by Con Ed buying
much of its power because that
was cheaper than producing its
own power.
ABOUT ONE - THIRD of
those affected by the blackout
were still without power as
Luce spoke yesterday. The en-
tire city and nearby Westches-
ter County was plunged into
darkness.

Luce said a protective sys-
tem, devised after the disaster-
ous 1965 blackout which struck
the Northeast, was designed to
cut off 50 per cent of the firm's
customers in emergency situa-
tions.
Such a cutoff, if successful,
would keep power flowing to
the other 50 per cent. "But it
was not enough to avoid a
crash," Luce said.
HE SAID Wednesday's "pe-
culiar sequence of events"
would have required that 75
per cent of Con Ed's customers
be switched off so that the rest
would have power.
As dawn brought the first
light to the 10 million residents
who endured the hot summer
night without power, Mayor
Abraham Beame told the peo-
ple who live and work here:
"It will not be possible to op-
erate a normal day. I urge you,
to stay home until the emer-
gency has been resolved."
TEMPERATURES"
headed to the 90s for the sec-
ond straight day. Stores, banks,

stock exchanges and other
businesses were closed Sub
ways and commuter rail lines
were stopped. The normally
frantic pace of midtown Man-
hattan slowed to a crawl, Peo-
ple found themselves' sith no
place to go and nothing to do
when they got there.
The blackout, unlike the 1%65
power outage that affected the
whole Northeast, was hiaited
to New York City and parts of
adjoining Long Island and
Westchester County. Also un-
like 1965, there was looting in
the city this time, and police
arrested 2,000 persons during
the long, humid night. The
worst incidents of looting were
in the city's Manhattan, Bron
and Brooklyn boroughs; 78 P
lice officers were reported in'
jured, including one who ga
shot.
Beame declared a state oh
emergency and called for an
investigation, saying, "We can
not tolerate in this age of nud
ern technology a power system
that can shut down the a5
tion's largest city."
