The Michigan Daily Vol. LXXXVI, No. 17-S Ann Arbor, Michigan-Thursday, May 27, 1976 Ten Cents Twelve Pages HOUSE HESITATES Hays faces possible probe WASHINGTON (A') - The chairman of the House ethics com- mittee declined on Wednesday to set a date for an investigation of Rep. Wayne Hays,- who has admitted that he had relations with a House Administration Committee staffer. The woman, Elizabeth Ray, says she was paid a $14,000 a year government salary and performed no chores except as Hays' mistress. Hays said Tuesday she was hired to perform clerical duties, and he asked for an ethics panel probe. ETHICS committee Chairman John Flynt Jr., D- Ga., refused Wednesday to state explicitly that he would seek a probe, but hinted hearings would be held when he told reporters in Georgia: "I don't think it would be appropriate for me to talk about that in any form or fashion until we set the hearings and begin them. I'm not going to say any more than that . . . because 12 of us will have to pass judgment." The co-author of "The Happy Hooker," the memoirs of a New York prostitute, said Wednesday that Ray asked him last spring to help her write her memoirs, saying they "would make 'The Happy Hooker' look like kindergarten." NOVELIST Robin Moore said the 33-year-old Ray wrote and telephoned him last spring to discuss her story. Hays, .meanwhile, submitted an official request for an ethics committee investigation, and 28 House members also submitted a written request to the committee for a probe. Hays said he intended the letter to be a formal request for "the opportunity to present the facts surrounding the allegations made against me." FLYNT REFUSED to state flatly that hearings would be held. "I can't answer that," he said. "It's not appropriate to talk about litigation that is pending in his court." The Justice Department also is investigating the Hays' affair to determine if public funds were misused. Hays admitted in an emotional House speech Tuesday that he had had a "personal relationship" with the 33-year-old woman. But he said it had ended when he decided to remarry, following his divorce earlier this year.

Though neither the festival organizer nor local politicians are willing to make out the death certificate, indications are fairly certain that the event has failed to get off the drawing board. "IT'S TRAGIC," said promoter Peter Andrews, who has managed the Blues and Jazz Festival for the last four years. "It's really tragic." Doubt has hung dark and heavy over the pro- pgsed festival ever since last month, when a motion by City Council members Jamie Ken- worthy (D-4th Ward) and Earl Greene (D-2nd Ward), which would have set aside Gallup Park as the concert sit . was defeated by the Council. Mayor Pro Te Robert Henry (R-3rd Ward), speaking for the month-old Republican majority, called the Gallup Park site "totally unaccept- able." The Republicans maintained they had nothing against the festival itself and were merely concerned about possible damage to the Park, though Council member Roger Bertoia (R-3rd Ward) made remarks about "people in tents encroaching on the local neighborhoods." ALTERNATE sites for the festival were sug- gested and followed through. The most promis- ing area, however-Marshall Park on Plymouth Road at1 Dixboro-lay inside Ann Arbor Town- ship, and the Township was utterly opposed to sponsoring the event. "They've got good control over land use out there," said Kenworthy. "We aren't going to be able to hold it at Marshall." . Andrews was noticeably bitter about the turn events have taken. "Nobody wants to take the responsibiliy for this thing," he said. "Every- body wants to have a festival, but nobody's willing See FUTURE, Page 5 WASHINGTON W)--The Sen- ate intelligence committee voted yesterday to make public a re- port that two senators said could "raise more quesions than answers" about the assassina- tion of President Kennedy.. Sen. Richard Schweiker (R- Pa.), who headed the commit- tee's inventigation, said he ex- pected the report would be made public in "a week or two" after the CIA and FBI have had a chance to review it for the possible disclosure of sensitive intelligence secrets. VICE CHAIRMAN John Tow- er (R-Tex.), one of two senators who voted against release of the report, indicated that it would rekindle the controversy sur- roundinghthe assassination with- out any hope of settling it. Schweiker said the 172-page report would "raise some very serious questions" about the re- lationships of the CIA and FBI to the Kennedy assassination. But he agreed with Tower that "we may raise more questions than answers." A c o m m i tit e e investigator stressed that Schweiker's re- marks - were not meant to sug- gest there was any evidence that either agency had been in- volved in the assassination. The investigator, Paul Wallach, said the report would focus on the performance of the intelligence agencies before and after the assassination and would go into the question of Lee Iarvey Os- wld's motive. TOWER, WHO has been brief- ed on the report, said "I don't think the Warren Cotamission was wrong about who pulled the trigger." The commisison headed by the late Chief Justice Earl War- ren concluded in 1964 that Os- wald was the sole assassin and said it could find no evidence that he was part of a foreign conspiracy. Towerand Sen. Barry Gold- water (R-Ariz.) voted against releasing the report. THE COMMITTEE -could still decide not to release it if by Friday a majority of the 1t members raise objections to its release. But Tower, noting that eight members already have voted to make it public, said "I do not anticipate that will hap- pen."
