Wednesday, May 11, 1977 THE MiCHtGAN DAILY Page Three Irish Protestant Paisley arrested BALLYMENA, Northern Ire- land 07- - The Rev. Ian Pais- ley, firebrand leader of a falter- ing eight-day-old Protestant strike in Northern Ireland, was detained by police yesterday af- ter he refused to order a trac- tor barricade dismantled. The burly preacher - politi- cian, a nettber of the British Parliament, was held for two boors along with another strike leader, Ernest Baird, and 10 of their supporters. POLICE said they will be charged with the minor offense of obstructing the highway. The Rev. Paisley told cheer- ing crowds of supporters in Bal- lymena, his home town north- east of lelfast, "The strike goes on. Its a fight to the finish', Then he drove off to whip up support for the stoppage and man another strikers' barricade in Ballymoney, 40 miles west of Ielfast. THE MINISTER'S detention, the third time he had been pick- ed tip itthis stormy political ca- reer, caine as, strong-arm squads of strikers continued a campaign of intimidation in a desperate bid tp force workers to stay at home. Police reported a teen-age gunman shot a bus driver dead and soontded a 79-year-told pas- senger it Belfast's touchy Crtm- lin Road. Fire bombs and other incendiary devices were dis- covered around the city, and po- lice began a search of every building in the city center. Belfast's municipal bus auth- ority said it was ordering an immediate withdrawal of serv- ices in the city - one of the strikers' objectives. Police de- clined to link the violence with the intimidation campaign, but some detectives theorized it was the syork of Protestant terror- ists linked with the Rev -Pais ley's United Uniotist Action Council.

Ma Bellemployes push Buck Rogers gad-gets for telephones Costly automatic traffi~c lights prove successMu By RON DeKETT Despite continuing cost concerns, the Traffic Acittated System designed to ease traffic fluw at selected busy intersec- tions in Ann Arbor has proven to be a working success. "We had initially questioned the capital outlay. (But) the administration reports that since they have been in- stalled the traffic has been running much more smoothly," Etart-Greene, (D-Second Ward), said. THE TRAFFIC light system, initiated at Maple and Jack- son in 1968, uses a loop detector buried beneath the pave- meet to sense approaching vehicles. The light responds to the input from the detectors and independently determines whether to change from green to red or vice versa. For example, i a car approaches a red light it Stadium and Packard from the east or west and no cars are approach- ing from the north or south, the light will sense the oncom- ing car and "skip phase" to green. If heavy traffic approach- es from every direction the light will resuime a normal red/ green cycle. Shtould the traffic clear from the east west direction, the north south light will tin green for approach- ing vehicles. The light system was established primarily to cope with the increasing traffic on the city's road system, which is not designed to handle the load. "THE MORE of these we install in town on our rela- tively ancient road system the better the possibility we will have less of the (traffic) tie tIp we now have," Roger Ben- toia, (R-Third Ward) said. "It's a lot cheaper than widening roads," Bertoia added. According to John Robbins, the Director of Streets-Traf- fic and Parking, the Actuated System at the intersection of Main and Stadium cost $30,000. This included installation, wiring and equipment. In most cases the state or federal government footed some of the cost 'at this and other loca- tions using this system. WHILE RECOGNIZING that the lights are doing an ade- quate job Mayor Albert Wheeler is concerned over the cost of additional lights. "I have a reserved feeling. Maybe we should slow down until this period of financial difficulty is over," Wheeler said. "In many ways they are useful and good but it is a question of whether we should continue theta or not in this period of belt-tightening." This system "is a good example of misuse of weight and gas funds (received from state taxes)," Jamie Kenworthy (D-Fourth Ward) said. He added that in a recent re-election brochure ie had indicated his dissatisfaction with the cost of the system. A citizen called him and said that while he liked Kenworthy as a candidate he disagreed with Kenworthy's stand about the system. The voter said the lights and their loop detec- tors were the only things in the city government that re- sponds to his presence. By KEITH RICHBURG If you have recently added a brand new telephone to your house or apartment, you may have noticed the installer coon- ing across as a junior salesman bucking for 'a commission from the boss. Chances are that he ex- plained to you the four new "custom calling" features that Ma Bell is currently offering. And he more than likely tried to entice you with the tempting one-week trial basis for each of the handy new telephone para- phenalia. If that has been your case, you weren't alone. It wasn't just your installer who seemed to have his sights on a position in the sales department, but all the Ma Bell field workers who are being encouraged to "talk up" new telephone services. "IT'S A PROMO thing," ex- plained David Burkette of the Michigan Bell general man- ager's office. "Our biggest force of our field people are our in- stallers." Consequently, they get most of the burden of carrying the news of the latest Ma Bell products to the public. The new line of products that the Bell people are talking about are the "custom calling" fea- tures call waiting, call forward- ing, three-say c a lI i n g, and speed calling. Call waiting tws you to take a telephone call even if you're already on the line. The caller will hear a beeping noise instead of the busy signal, and a mere push of a button can put your original call on hold. CALL FORWARDING merely intercepts all of your calls to your old address and gives the caller your new address and telephone number. Three-way calling allows a third party into your conversa- tion. "It's good for conferences and three way conversations, a Bell spokesperson explained. With speed calling, you.don't have to bother dialing a seven digit number. Frequently called numbers can be redued to only two digits, and the phone can hold "eight numbers or thirty numbers," See MA, Page 7 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Volume LXXXVII, No. 6-S Wednesday, May 11, 1977 is edited and managed by students at the University of Mivuinan.

In min- utes they had surrounded the man, only to find that he wasn't escaping, but trying to get in. Michael Bostick, 23, had made it about three quarters of the way up the rough-hewed stone wall when he was halted and taken into custody. He told police he had just gotten off a freight train at the foot of the prison, and assumed that going over the wall was the shortest way to town. Well, he was right. It was the shortest way to town. Police hustled him off to the downtown jail where authorities are look- ing for n offense to charge hi with.

Mozart A touching letter from Mo art to his wife Constanz in 1789 was sold for $25,000 yesterday by Christie's auction house of London, England. The question of the day is, why would anyone pay $25,000 for a Moz- art letter, when you can buy one of his records for $6.98 (less if you shop the sales)? The unidentified man must have thought that Mozart was a writer instead of a composer.

The mercury will drop at night to a comfortable 50-great sleeping weather. Enjoy.
