Molmeaux American Friends Service Committee Representative in Santiago, Chile MOM., FEB. 25-8:00 PM Friend's Meetinghouse 1420 Hill St. Tues., Feb. 26 noon-lunch U of M International Center, Madison Ave., LANSING (UPI) - The state Senate yesterday approved legislation adop- ting a more restrictive interpretation of the Headlee Tax Limitation Amen- dment revenue ceiling than the one favored by Gov. William Milliken. The bill, approved 23-1, would com- plete the process of implementing the Headlee measure which was adopted by Michigan voters in November 1978. The measure still needs House ap- proval. HEADLEE SEEKS to . prevent the state's revenues from rising faster than the total personal income of its residen- ts.-It imposes a limit based on the ratio between total state revenue in the 1978- 79 fiscal year and total personal income for calendar year 1977. The formula for computing state revenue used in Milliken's recent budget message produces a 10.08 per cent figure. This would limit revenue in the current fiscal year to $7.85 billion and to $8.64 billion in the fiscal year beginning in October. The Senate, however, came up with a slightly different figure because it chose to subtract debt service paymen- ts and loans to school districts from the computation of total state revenue. ITS FORMULA, said to be favored b Headlee backers, produces a 9.97 per cent figure, - resulting for the current fiscal year in a revenue limit of $7.77 billion and a limit of $8.55 billion in the next year. The difference at this point is largely academic since projected state revenue for this year is only $7.28 billion and $7.87 billion for next year - both well below either ceiling. It could make dif- ference in future years, however. In other action, the Senate approved a measure requiring vehicle registrations to include the color of the car. The measure, which now goes to, the House, is favored by police agencies which claim it will aid in combatting car theft. The Senate adopted a House-passed bill designed to aid highway safety researchers by guaranteeing the con- fidentiality of the information they collect. Currently, many involved in acciden ts are reluctant to cooperate for fear the information will be used against them. 4431 " Rare, Live Concert Recordings * Rock, New Wave and Punk " Obscure Jazz and Blues 124 E.

FTC officials said the consent agreement signed by Ford is a major break in an auto industry practice of maintaining "secret warranties" tol cover manufacturing defects. The FTC officials said car owners are not informed about these warranties, which are invoked only in unusual cases where the consumer complains vigorously. THE AUTOMOBILE industry main- tains there are no secret warranties because car dealers are notified about the extra warranty protection. Ford Executive Vice President William Bourke called the term "an inaccurate description" even as FTC officials said the agreement means that Ford no longer will maintain secret warranties.

Waii, An A'd'r Cad 668-8300 Cedit rdons accee Crei carscceped THE VOLCANO TOUR '80 FTC official Tracy Westen said, "Ford will no longer issue 'secret' warranties for certain repair problems. Instead, Ford will directly notify each car owner, by mail, whenever it exten- ds warranty protections to cover engine, transmission or other significant problems." FORD ALSO agreed to make available to car owners the Technical Service Bulletins that describe majox engine and transmission problems. The bulletins tell of extensions in the new- car warranty for systems later found to have problems. These bulletins previously were sent to dealers but not to owners of the cars. The owners usually did not ask for repairs covered by the warranties because they never were told that the warranties existed. Under the consent agreement, the bulletins, rewritten in non-technical language, will be provided to car owners on request and will be available to the public by subscription for a nominal fee. In Addition, Ford agreed to buy ad- vertising telling that the bulletins are available and giving a toll-free telephone number for repair questions. Under the agreement, at least 84 full- page ads containing the information will appear in such publications as Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, Sports Illustrated, People, and Reader's Digest.

But the department revised the figure, placing the number at 70,000 with another 30,000 supporting them from inside the Soviet Union. Another official who asked not to be identified said the total number of troops in the "theater of operations" has not changed over the past few weeks. But another U.S. official said yester day the Soviet Union, in a desperat situation in Afghanistan, is likely to send thousands of additional troops into the country to try to keep a client regime in power. He told reporters at the State Depar- tment that Afghan President Babrak Karmal might be deposed and Moslem religious leaders or a member of the ousted royal family given government roles in a Soviet attempt to maintai control. The Soviet Union continued its indif- ference to the passing Wednesday of Carter's deadline for the Soviets to pull out from Afghanistan or face a boycott of the Moscow Games. Premier Alexei Kosygin, surfacing in public after an unexplained four-month absence, did not mention the Feb. 20 deadline in a nationally televised speech yesterday.
