were being- used against the bill
that would strengthen enforce-
ment of the antitrust law.
The bill would permit states
to sue in federal courts to re-
cover triIle damages for citi-
zens injured by antitrust viola-
tions and give the Justice De-
partirent new powers to block
urergers and conduct antitrust
investigatiions.
SENATE leaders of both
parties advanced a compromise
proposal during last night ses-
sion in hopes of breaking the
impasse.
They said it made major con-
cession to the bill's opponents.
But unanimous consent was
required under the existing par-
liamentary situation to bring it
up for consideration and sena-
tors wno have been fighting the
bill refused.
THE opponents said they
wanted to study the compro-
mise proposal overnight and
perhaps prepare a counterpro-
posal.
Debate on the bill began
nearly two weeks ago and, with
other legislation log-jammed be-
hind it, the continuing deadlock
was causing frayed tempers.
By CHRIS PARKS
IANSING (UPI)-The battle-
scarred $27.8 million Detroit aid
package, containing a $800,000
stbsidy for the Pontiac Stadium,
is at last on its tay to Gov.
William Milliken.
House leaders managed for
the second and final time yes-
terday to put together a razor-
thin majority for the compro-
mise bill.
THE MEASURE needed 56
votes for approval and that is
exactly what it got: the final
vote nas 56-49.
The key to the bill's passage
were the votes of seven legis-
lators who switched at the last
minute from the "no" and "not
voting" categories. Several of
them had voted against a sim-
ilar measure two weeks ago.
The package, which consists
of grants to a number of city
cultural, health and transporta-
tion facilities, was part of a deal
worked out between Detroit
Mayor Coleman Young and Mil-
liken. The other elements in-
cluded cuts in city spending and
a three-mill garbage tax.
"I want to reiterate that this
is not a 'bail-out Detroit pack-
age," Milliken said. "Rather
it is a measure that will foster
self-help, correct historic in-
equities that have put the city
at a serious economic disad-
vantage and provide a fair
measure of assistance for serv-
ices and activities now funded
by the city that are of regional
and statewide benefit."
"IN THE SHORT run, its spe-
cific measures will help the cit-
izens of Detroit to help them-
selves," the governor said. "In
the long run, its philosophy will
help the city and will also help
us all-because the problems of
Detroit are the problems of us
all."
Legislative leaders. originally
tied the aid bill to continuation
of the stadium subsidy in order
to attract suburban votes.
The strategy quickly ran into
trouble. The Senate removed the
subsidy and in the House, many
lawmakers balked at approving
the aid package with the sutb-
sidy.

Pierce, on Diag,
hits govt. waste
{Continued from Page 31
HE INDICATED that south-
eastern Michigan is one of the
most economically depressed
regions in the country.
"And right here in Washte-
naw County we still have un-
employment of close to 12 per
cent, which is very high," he
added.
Pierce said that reduction in
unemployment should be one of
the nation's top priorities, as
well as the restoration of trust
and confidence in government.
"IT'S VERY unfortunate that
the Vietnam War and the Civil
Rights movement have sapped
the strength of the people in my
generation," Pierce said.
"It's more unfortunate that
the people of your generation
are very despondent and skep-
tical," he told the young audi-
ence.
He expressed concern that he
has encountered a lack of trust
in his bid for the Democratic
nomination.
"I'M USED to being a physi-
cian, a family doctor," he said.
"My patients rarely thought I
was telling lies. Now I am in a
completely different role (as
politician)."
Pierce decided to run for Con-
gress because he found that
there were many problems he
could not solve as a doctor. He
felt that he could do more by
becoming involved in govern-
ment.
Pierce ran for the same Con-
gressional seat in 1974, but was
defeated in the primary election
by just 81 votes.
His opponents in this year's
August 3 primary are Delbert
Hoffman, Mary Robek, John
Spillson, and Marvin Stempien.

be mediocre, is the Provisonal

do a leftist "but accurate" in-
