{ Buses to aid By LEE KATTERMAN A new look in buses took 'its first public "bow" at Ann Arbor City Hall yesterday. The Ann Arbor Transportation, Authority (AATA) unveiled four new "Advanced Design Transit Coaches" with the announcement that the buses will be in use starting this Monday. THE NEW BUSES, manufactured by Grumman Fixible Corporation of Ohio and costing AATA $106,000 each, were built to meet controversial state- mandated accessibility standards for handicapped riders. The front steps of three of the four buses can unfold i hydraulic-lift platforim, provi riders in wheelchairs access to re bus lines. These buses can "kneel"-that is, air from the suspension can be released, prov better access by lowering the another five inches closer to ground. A year-old state law requires th new buses purchased by p transporation companies be equ to allow wheelchair-bound passes access.

A fourth lawmaker in Indiana is studying similar legislation. ARTHURHULTZ orchestrated the move, believing packaging the Midwest 'primaries would give the region increased clout and force, candidates and the media to pay more attention to Its particular problems. Such a grouping, he said, could offset the advantage now enjoyed by the early primary states. Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin all vote after Illinois.

WHILE BUSH and other Republican presidential candidates have called for economic sanctions in the past, Bush's speech yesterday marked the first call by one of them for the termination of formal diplomatic relations with Iran. "It defies reason that at this late stage, the administration has yet to take this step against a regime which defies all rules of international law and civilized conduct among nations," Bush said in a speech before the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations. Bush said he would support communicati-ng with the Khomeini government through other channels in order to work toward the release of the hostages in Tehran. A Bush spokesperson explained after the speech that the remark meant Bush favored negotiating through third-party foreign diplomats. ALTHOUGH HE spoke out forcefully on Iran-an issue once considered off-limits for presidential contenders-the former U.N. ambassador admitted he did not have all the information available to the President. But, he added quickly, Carter's treatment of the situation had been "a policy of bluff, bluster and political symbolism." Bush lashed out against the false sense of optimism which he said the White House promoted soon after the departure of the recent unsuccessful U.N. commission to Iran. He said the commission's failure was another example of Carter's inability to understand the intentions of Iranian authorities. "IN THE END, the White House strategy of surrendering our own initiative to the U.N. to free the hostages proved as meaningless in terms of the harsh reality of the situation in Tehran as the President's symbolic refusal to turn on the national Christmas tree lights last December," Bush said. Bush asserted at a news conference after the speech that American troops would not be needed in order to place an embargo on goods to and from Iran.
