"MR. WHEELER'S point is a that all he is being accused of doing is running for and being elected the mayor of Ann Ar- bor," Benz said. Henry countered saying no additional parties should be,'ss added because of the nature of the "quo warranto" civil suit. Under the suit Belcher is seek- ing "action against the holder of the office" and not the oth- er parties, Henry said.07 he e "We are asking Wheeler to vacate the office because he is holding it illegally," Henry said. HENRY SAID the complaint asks for one of three solutions: * declare Belcher the win- ner and mayor of Ann Arbor. ! declare Wheeler the win- ner and mayor. * declare the mayoral elec- tion results void. "It will be one, the Qther or there will be no one (as may- or)," Henry said. Should Judge Kelly declare the election void the mayor's post will become vacant.

Smith asks for new Rhodesian election (Continued from Page 1) Smith said, when he met Bri- tish Foreign Secretary David Owen in Cape Town, South Af- rica, earlier this year. But he added that last week "we were informed that there was no hope of anything other than one-man one-vote, no spe- cial representation for whites and no adequate protection in' the constitution of entrenched clauses." Rhodesia has 272,000 whites and 6.4 million blacks. At a short-lived conference- in Geneva last December be- tween Smith and the four ma- jor black nationalist leaders, Smith argued that it would take at least 23 months for a tran- sition to black majority rule, and he wanted to maintain con- trol during that period of the key security ministries. THE BLACK leaders at the British - sponsored conference demanded complete control within 12 months and the talks broke down. Rhodesia's two-tier electoral system allows some blacks to vote - if they have jobs, an. education and land. .Because of the strict qualifi-. cations, it is estimated only about, 10,000 blacks could vote iMi the coming elections oin - pared to 90;000 whites.
