Circuit Judge Robert Bell ruled Friday state Civil Service Commission procedures giving special consideration to minorities and women violate the Michigan Constitution. CIVIL SERVICE officials said they would immediately appeal the ruling, claiming it contradicts an earlier federal court decision in a case involving State Police recruiting. Bell's ruling came in a lawsuit filed by five male prison guards and officers at the Ionia Reformatory and the nearby Michigan Training Unit. The guards and their union claimed three black workers and two women were unfairly appointed to jobs the men had sought. BELL SAID the state constitution only allows "merit effficiency and fitness" to be used in making decisions on hiring and promotion and explicitly' prohibits the use of "religious, racial or partisan considerations." Specifically at issue was the state's policy of "expanded certification" and special testing to encourage the hiring and promotion of minorities and women. Expanded certification allows women and minorities who qualify on civil service exams to be appointed over higher scoring candidates in order to achieve affirmative action goals. BELL SAID the policy "gives special consideration to some candidates solely on the basis of their race or sex." The ruling rendered "invalid and void" the appointments of James Robbins as security captain and Charles Nichols and James MacMurray as line sergeants. A Corrections Department official said a temporary injunction issued by Bell last summer already has had a "terrific impact" causing minority representation among department 'employees to drop by one percentage point. r Pho i Iy PUERTO RICO to campaign for the presidential primary, Senator Edward Kennedy stops stumping for a moment to enjoy a joke made by former Puerto Rico Governor Luis Munoz Marin. Democrats jockey for position as Maine caucuses, draw near AUGUSTA, Maine (UPI) - Both Sen. Edward Kennedy and California Gov. Edmund Brown plan to greet voters at some of Maine's 500 caucuses today making a last-minute bid for support in the first New England presidential test. Kennedy aides said the senator would make personal appearances in Bid- deford, Portland and Sanford as voters entered caucuses. Brown campaign of- ficials said their candidate would do the same in Portland and Lewiston. CARTER PLANNED to wait out the vote in privacy at Camp David, Md. He has said he probably will not campaign while the Iran crisis continues, but Vice President Walter Mondale and Rosalynn Carter have appeared on his behalf. The caucuses will elect 2,247 delegates to the state Democratic con- vention in April, which in turn will select the 22 Maine delegates to the Democratic National Convention in August. Only three per cent of the 225,000 enrolled Democrats, cast votes in the 1976 caucuses, but the media attention this year and predicted fair weather are expected to draw perhaps triple that number. It is the first time Maine's Democratic caucuses are being held on a single day. Democrats formerly spread caucuses over several weeks, as the Republicans still do. RIGHT AFTER his 2-1 loss to Carter in' Iowa last month, Kennedy said he needed to win Maine and New Ham- pshire. His national- campaign manager, Stephen Smith, now s Kennedy needs only to "do well" New England. But the co-chairman of Carter's Maine camp, Secretary of State Rodne: Quinn, predicts Kennedy "will be destroyed if he can't win here, in his own backyard. A loss in Maine will put Kennedy out of business." Kennedy has the support of Gov. Joseph Brennan, the only governor to endorse him so far, but Carter has the backing of most influential Democra state leaders.

FEB. 12 MEETING CANCELLED: Tax cut backers undaunted stn its 101st -eason (Continued from Page 1) THE JOINT meeting, scheduled for Feb. 12, was cancelled Thursday, ap- parently because of the school board's decision. Besides calling for a decrease in tax revenues for the county and the school board, the proposal, which Council ap- proved 10-1, included a promise that the city's tax revenue share would also decrease. t "I THINK the best we can do (now) is set a good example," said Hood, who, along with David Fisher (R-Fourth Ward) originally called for the joint meeting: Hood said he would persist in pushing for a reduction totalling about nine per cent of the city's share of the total property tax levy. Almost half of the city's share is already slated for the city's pension fund, refuse service, and the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority. HOOD SAID he did not know how much cutting he would back in the most vulnerable area, the city's general fund, because the city did not have ac- curate estimates of tax receipts this year. Hood said estimates ranged from 15 to 18 per cent. Councilman James Cmejrek (R-Fifth Ward) pointed out yesterday that a tax revenue cut in City Hall will have limited impact on residents' tax bills, U I THE INE I LEG Alaskan King Crab ONLY $7.95 Complete Alaskan King Crab Leg Dinner r Served with a crisp green salad, vegetable,. bread and your choice of baked potato, French fries, or long grain and wild rice. since 59 per cent of Ann Arbor's proper ty tax revenues go to support the city' schools. 0 Ten per cent of taxes go to the county, four per cent to Washtenaw Community College, and 27 per cent to the city's government. "YOU'RE REALLY talking about trying to kill an elephant with a B-B gun when you talk about cutting city property taxes," Cmejrek said. Cmejrek added that real tax relief could only come from two sources: the school board or the state government, which could change assessment law* limit assessment increases. Councilwoman Leslie Morriss(D- Second Ward) charged yesterday that the tax revenue decrease proposition for City Hall is a campaign ploy on the part of David Fisher, who is up for re- election in April. Morris said the Fisher-Hood tax cut- ting resolution, which calls for a meeting March 3 between City Hall bureaucrats and City Council to c@ sider a tax cut, "makes David Fisher look good, but the city budget isn't done until May.'' There can't be council commitment (to a budget) until after the election," Morris added.
