relocate the residents.
Latta also criticized the prospect of
the EDC negotiating with developers
and companies in private, and offering
concessions to compete with other
cities, exchanges which Council and the
public would not be aware when the
plans are brought before them. "We'll
never know whether they gave up the
least amount possible," Latta said.
BUT FRENZA maintained that
everything wi lbe public.
The needefor eEDC is also a subject
of controversy.~ Frenza said the
motivation for the EDC is "to develo in-
centives to attract the right kind of
company (to Ann Arbor) witheut in-
curring liability on the city." However,
Frenza also said the community "has
been very specific about the type of
business" it desires for immigration.
Latta said the EDC will have no more
powers than Council already has, the
tax base will not be greatly bolstered,
and the city is already selective about
the type of concerns allowed to move
here. He said the city can already offer
revenue bonds, which it did for Mer-
cedes-Benz. He asked, "If you've
already got people knocking at your
front door, then why set up free drinks
on your front porch?"
FRENZA SAID THE city will im-
prove its tax-base by $50-60,000 per
year. Latta said Frenza must have been
lying when he told Council he had no
projects promised or knew of any
awaiting the EDC advantages-if Frenza
could estimate the additonal revenues.
Latta asked, "How does he know that
unless he already-knows the size of the
projects coming in?"
Frenza estimates apply to $100,000-
$120,000 bond issuances for the
generation of that amount of property
tax revenue, according to the City
Assessor's Office.
Latta said he is concerned that Mayor
Louis Belcher might "stack" the ap-
pointed corporation board members.
Belcher was unavailable for
comment.
The EDC act specifies that any added
bond revenue the corporation receives

court.
Farber, who was cited for civil and
criminal contempt for refusing to turn
over his notes in the murder trial of a
New Jersey doctor, was allowed to
remain free pending appeal of the civil
charges to the U.S. Supreme Court.
THE NEW JERSEY court voted 6-0
to give Farber's attorneys until noon
Friday to apply to the U.S. Supreme
Court for a stay of sentencing.
The court decided by a 5-1 vote not to
hold a hearing on whether to delay Far-
ber's sentencing. It refused by the same
vote to consider criminal charges
against Farber. One justice did not par-
ticipate.
Farber and The New York Times Co.

civil contempt by Superior Court Judge

FARBER WAS ordered jailed in-
definitely and The Times was heavily
fined for defying a court order to
surrender files in the so-called Dr. X
case.
State Supreme Court Justice Morris
Pashman, who freed Farber after he
had served seven hours in jail Monday,
cast the only dissenting vote yesterday.
"I'm ready to go in if I have to," Far-
ber told reporters yesterday as he left
the Bergen County jail with attorney
Eugene Scheiman.
"I HAVE A very strong feeling I
belong on the other side of those mikes
and with the writing press."
In a clash between the constitutional

guarantees of a free press and the right
to a fair trial, Trautwein ordered Far-
ber jailed until he turned over his notes
on Dr. Mario Jascalevich, the surgeon
accused of murdering five hospital
patients with the muscle relaxant
curare 12 years ago.
While the Supreme Court decided if
Farber should remain free, trial Judge
William Arnold postponed proceedings
in the murder trial yesterday to await
the ruling.
LATER YESTERDAY, Arnold
denied a defense request that the trial
be halted until the court received Far-
ber's notes for review. Defense attor-
ney Henry Furst was to appeal Arnold's
ruling to the Appellate Division of
Superior Court in Newark.
