. i . . - - Saturday, May 29, 1976 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Candidates throw hats in Page three .. By GEORGE LORSENZ 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. U.N. extends peace force 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."

Observer Force (UNDOF) has manned the buffer zone since Secretary of State Henry Kissinger negotiated a 1974 agree- ment between Israel and Syria. ANOTHER U.N. contingent of 4,000 men is stationed between Egyptian and 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." ,Athlete's foot Antonio Inoki is not, as it may appear, satisfying a foot fetish.
