In turn, the branch manager had to agree to kickback ten per cent of his or her income to the secretary of state to be used as campaign funds by the secretary and his party. Birmingham lawyer J a m e s Elsman adopted this as the fo- cal issue of his campaign. The system received wide voter at- tention. But Elsman and much of the state news media ignored that Austin had been gradually phas- ing out the system since elected to office, and that the phase-out program had only two years left. AUSTIN BELIEVES he was misrepresented on this position. "I'm the only one who's taken any practical steps to put an end to it yet the impression is that I invented it," he said. "I think that's unfair" But the issue appears to have little or no effect on his popular- ity in the polls. HIS LARGE lead has spurred an aura of confidence among those in his camp, and they have not developed a very ex- tensive field organization. In contrast both Riegle and James O'Hara have built strong field organizations and in a primary where low voter turn-out is ex- pected, it would be conceivable for one of those hopefuls to pull off an upset. Austin says the major prob- lem facing the nation and state is the lofty unemployment rate and inflation. He believes the federal government must pro- vide jobs to those who need them so the economy can be re- vitalized. Michigan's h i g h unemploy- ment rate, he says, is due part- ly because the states does not enjoy "a fair shake" in the de- Two thousand physicians and their families watched the birth of Michael Gallagher on closed circuit television in 1951.

Austin advocates having the federal government subsidize higher wage rates in northern industrial states by awarding defense contracts on the basis of how high the jobless rate is in that state. AUSTIN CALLS himself a strong supporter of women's rights and would oppose a con- stitutional amendment to pro- hibit abortion, because "I be- lieve that every woman on ad- vice of her physician should be able to get an abortion under legal and supervised conditions at a price that she can afford." He is strongly committed to a plan of national health insur- ance, saying "it is a crime to have a country that is a leader Harris' attorneys request mistrial LOS ANGELES (1P) - Four hours after jurors began de- liberating the William and Em- ily Harris case yesterday, de- fense attorneys rushed into an emergency court session with accusations that the judge with- held crucial information about a juror. The jury retired for the night and is scheduled to resume de- liberations at 8:30 a.m. today. CHIEF DEFENSE attorney Leonard Weinglass demanded a mistrial and dismissal of the charges on grounds of judicial misconduct by Superior Court Judge Mark Brandler. Brandler denied the dismissal motion but did not rule on the mistrial argument. The defense said Brandler had failed to tell trial partici- pants of a report that a juror may have adversely prejudged the Harrises weeks ago. The judge said he had been told of the complaint about the i t a r 1 juror-but not in full detail. WEINGLASS said that if a mistrial was not declared he would appeal the matter to a higher court and have the delib- erations of the seven-woman, five-man jury halted until the mistrial issue is resolved. The jury began deliberations before noon yesterday on 22 separate counts against the Har- rises, members of the Symbio- nese Liberation Army who are accused of assault, kidnaping and robbery. Co-defendant Pa- tricia Hearst will stand trial separately. Judge Brandler convened an emergency hearing later in the day at which a onetime pros- pective juror testified that she heard a current juror express- ing opinions on the case weeks ago. "HE SAID something on the order of 'It's already a foregone conclusion,' or 'We already know the outcome of thisy'" said Jeannie Barton, "It seemed he had a very definite opinion about it." She also said a man who was briefly an alternate juror sat in the jury room building a paper gallows upon which he hung paper figures of the Harrises. in science and technology that does not provide medical care for all of its citizens." He says that much of the money needed to finance such a program could originate from reduced spending in the defense- budget. He suggests one of the primary sources of funds could lie in the scuttling of the B-1 bonmber system. The fgirst U.

As Ford flew to Jackson, Nes- sen pointed out that the Presi- dent feels he already more than the 1,130 votes needed for a first time ballot victory at Kan- sas City, but that he felt it was important to increase that lead. "He wants to go into the con- vention not with just a bare majority. He wants to go in with a good, strong showing" to indicate he has broad support around the country and can uni- fy the party for the fall cam- paign. Ford's campaign managers have announced Ford has a to- tal of 1.135 delegates. Reagan forces also claim their man is over the top, with 1,140 dele- gates. Ether delegate tallies, how- ever, show both Ford and Rea- gan still shy of the magic num- ber. The Associated Press count shows Ford now has 1,104 delegates either legally bound or publicly committed to him. Reagan has 1,023, and 123 dele- gates were still listed as un- committed.
