In a flurry .of activity, a number of
candidates announced their intentions
this week to run in the August primary
electim for the Second Congressional
District seat, the city's seat in the State
Rouse and the County Sheriff's office.
Ann Arbor Councilman Ron Trowbridge
(R-Fourth Ward) will square off against
State Senator Carl Pursell (R-l4th Dis-
trict) for the Congressional post in an
intra-party fracas.
MEANWHILE, REP. Perry Bullard
said he will stand for re-election to the
53rd District, and Sheriff Frederick Pos-
till also revealed he will run for re-elec-
tion.
In the Congressional race, both Trow-
bridge and Pursell are emphasizing
economic issues, while airing an increas-
ingly familiar pitch against big govern-
ment.
Trowbridge looks to the private sector
to relieve unemployment and stimulate
the economy. Accordingly, if elected,
Trowbridge says he will work to de-
crease the tax burden borne by private
industry.

arrangement in Golan Hgts.
IN A PRESS release, Trowbridge
states: "It is the high tax rate that does
not allow for reinvestment in plant ex-
pansion or company personnel, thereby
hindering the creation of more jobs and
a reduction in unemployment."
According to Trowbridge, private sec-
tor tax dollars are used to " 'feather the
nest' of an already superfluous govern-
ment. This becomes increasingly ap-
parent each day with the passage of
additional spending programs for govern-
ment agencies and legislation."
Pursell, six years a state senator, also
points to economic recovery and free-
dom from an overgrown federal govern-
ment as his chief aims.
"CONTINUED and sustained economic
recovery is my major concern," said
Pursell in a news conference statement
accompanying his announcement of can-
didacy, "along with improving the qual-
ity of life."
He added, "I believe in, and will work
for, greater control of the government
by the people-and less control of the
people by their government. We need
less regulation and control over individ-
ual freedom."
Rep. Perry Bullard, chairman of the
House Civil Rights Committee is run-
ning for his third consecutive term.
BULLARD LISTS environmental legis-
lation, consumer protection, civil rights.
taxation reform and student needs, es-
pecially tenants' rights legislation and
increased financial aid, as his prime
concerns.
Bullard also marks secrecy in govern-
ment as a problem he would deal with if
re-elected.
"The freedom of information and
records legislation has to be fought for
in the next session,' said Bullard, "it's
the ring
time to try to end secrecy in govern-
ment.'
BULLARD ALSO had some comments
about the investigation presently being
conducted by his Civil Rights Committee
into State Police "Red Squad" opera-
tions, involving possible political surveil-
lance files on more than 50,000 people.
"The whole thing is turned around,"
he remarked, "people are supposed to
know everything about government-in-
stead government is trying to find out
everything about citizens."
Asked if he envisioned a close race
against his unnamed Republican oppo-
nent, Bullard said: "I think the results
of the April city elections say some-
thing. Even though this should be a
solidly progressive district, if ~the voters
don't turn out, Im going to be in
trouble."
HE ADDED, "I'm taking nothing for
granted.
In the county sheriff race, present
sheriff, Frederick Postill has announced
he will stand for re-election.
Postill says he will run on the basis
of the record he has compiled over the
last four years.
SOME OF the improvements P'ostill
claims to have made are:
-Thorough re-organization and con-
tractual law enforcement. Patrol per-
sonnel is up 127 per cent from 1972
levels.
-There are now 15 to 20 patrols on
the streets during peak crime hours
compared to 3 to 4 patrols in the same
hours in 1972 due to modern scheduling
methods.
-Felony arrests have tripled in three
years and the number of felony arrests
per officer has doubled.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (,P) - The
Security Council voted yesterday to ex-
tend for six months the presence of an
international peacekeeping force between
Israeli and Syrian armies on the Golan
Heights.
Israel and Syria had agreed earlier
to continue the mandate for the U.N.
force, which would have expired Mon-
day
THE COUNCIL vote was 13-0, with
China and Libya not participating in the
vote although their representatives were
present.
A resolution adopted by the council
called on all parties concerned in the
Middle East to resume negotiations un-
der "appropriate auspices aimed at es-
tablishing a just and durable peace."

ment between Israel and Syria.
ANOTHER U.N. contingent of 4,000

Israeli lines in the Sinai desert. Its cur-
rent authorization runs until October.
U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Wald-
heim flew to Damascus Wednesday to
obtain Syria's consent to the Golan
Heights extension without conditions.
Israel had agreed earlier to an exten-
sion provided Syria attached no new
conditions.
Waldheim, reporting to the council on
his trip, said Syrian President Hafez
Assad emphasized that he would not
permit UNDOF "to become a perma-
nent institution" and urged Waldheim to
"reactivate the negotiating process."

Antonio Inoki is not, as it may appear, satisfying a foot fetish. The Japanese professional wrestler is receiving a foot
kick to the jaw intended to strengthen that weak spot as he prepares for his June 25 bout with world heavyweight boxing
champion Muhammad Ali.
