Fed cuts could hurt
city, county budgets

6

BY JOHN GOYER
President Carter's announcement
Friday of possible cuts in federal
revenue sharing has, added one more
uncertainty to local budget-balancing.
Both the Ann Arbor and Washtenaw
County governments receive revenue
sharing money directly from the
federal government. The money .goes
into the already hard-pressed general
fund accounts of both governments.
Ann Arbor's $25 million-plus general
fund last year won $1.6 million in
revenue sharing from the federal
government. Even before the
president's speech Friday proposing
revenue sharing cuts, the city's ad-
ministration predicted the amount
would decrease.
And the city's general fund account,
which supports police and fire protec-
tion, city courts, and City - Hall ad-
ministration, is already expected to be
hard-hit by inflation coupled with
shrinking sources of state funding and a
move to cut taxes in City Council.
Although Ann Arbor City Ad-
ministrator Terry Sprenkel said he did
not know how the city might be affected
by cuts in revenue sharing, "obviously
it can only have a negative impact."
Washtenaw County collected $1.7
million in federal revenue sharing
dollars last year which it added to its
$24 million general fund, according to
Michael Stimpson, senior budget

analyst for the county.
The county government's general
fund supports the Sheriff's Depar-
tmentsCircuit and District Courts,
county administration, and subsidies to
government agencies such as the coun-
ty health department, the county men-
tal health department, and the county
drain commission.
While Stimpson was unsure that the -
cuts proposed Friday would even affect
the county's revenue sharing dollars,
he said the County Board of Com-
missioners might have to raise taxes or
use prior years' surplus to substitute
for any lost federal funds.
Smaller communities also would be
affected if revenue sharing were cut.
Ann Arbor Township, which touches
the city's northeast boundaries,
receives about $13,000 per year from
the federal government out of a total
budget of $120,000.
The money, according to township
supervisor Nancy Davis, goes toward
matching county road improvement
grants.
Davis bemoaned the possible loss of
revenue sharing dollars, saying that the
public hearing at which citizens decide
how the federal money was spent made
residents "think creatively aboutnthe
future of the area."
If the cuts do materialize, said town-
ship clerk Laurance Frederick, "Cer-
tainly itewillvbe felt, but I guess that's
what we have to do to quell inflation."

Dole takes himself out of race
LAWRENCE, Kan.-Republican Sen. Robert Dole, saying he did not
have the "time, money, management, or organization," withdrew yesterday
fromt he 1980 presidential race.
Dole also said he was not sure if he would run for a third Senate term,
and would make a decision after the April 1 Kanas primary.
Dole failed to get substantial voter support in any of the year's
primaries, and joins John Connally and Howard Baker as recent Republican
drop-outs.
Statehood is big issue
in Puerto Rico primary
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico-Up to 60 per cent of Puerto Rico's voters
are expected to go to the polls today to vote in their second presidential
primary-but the issue is statehood as well as a Democratic presidential
choice.
Gov. Carlos Romero Barcelo and his Statehood Party is supporting
President Carter, while Sen. Edward Kennedy has the backing of former
Gov. Ragael Herdnandez Colon and his Commonwealth Party.
The candidtes will vie for 41 delegates to the national convention in New
York.
Suspect in Lowenstein
slaying held without bail
NEW YORK-The man suspected of fatally shooting former Rep.
Allard Lowenstein was held without bail at his arraignment on murder and
gun charges yesterday.
Friends of Dennis Sweeney, a resident of Connecticut, said he ws so
mentally disturbed that he thought the FBI and the CIA were monitoring his
thoughts through a listening device implanted in two false teeth.
Lowenstein was shot four times in his law office Friday, and died seven
hours later.
U.S. diplomat inspects site
of Polish airliner crash
WARSAW, Poland-A U.S. diplomat who inspected the site of the
Polish airline crash which carried 87 people, including the 22 members of the
U.S. amateur boxing team, said yesterday many of the bodies recovered
from the partially submerged wreckage are mangledbeyond recognition.
An embassy spokesman reported that about half of the bodies are still
inside the fuselage.
The Polish government is continuing its investigation of the crash, and
have permitted a member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board
to join the investigation team.
Rumors of cheating cloud
Iran's parliamentary elections
Conservative Moslem clergymen appeared yesterday to be headed
for control of Iran's parliament, amidst reports of coercion, fraud and other
electoral cheating.
President Bani-Sadr told a French newspaper Friday that he promises
to investigate the numerous complaints of -e ctio violations, including
filling out the ballots of illiterate voters, who constitute 65 per cent of the
population. ., ,an-i
Ayatollah Ruholah Khomeini said the parliament will decide if and when
to free the 50 American hostages in Tehran.
Judge in court-martial
worries about 'moral issues
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.-When the court martial of Pfc. Robert
Garwood reconvenes March 26, a battle is certain to develop over raising
what the judge referred to as "all the ambiguous moral issues" of the
Vietnam war.
During the court martial's initial two days last week, defense attorneys
were rebuffed in their attempts to have the case judged against the
background of all POW behavior.
But Col. R. E. Switzer, the judge in the case, rejected a defense request
to have access to propaganda to have statements and tape recordings made
by all American POWs.
Makers of Agent Orange sued
DETROIT-Three Vietnam War veterans from Michigan have gone
to court against seven chemical companies, including Dow Chemical Co. of
Midland, claiming they were contaminated by the defoilant Agent Orange.
The suit was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Detroit.
Lawyers for the veterans claim the defoilant was responsible for a
variety of health problems they suffered.
A spokesman for Dow placed responsibility for use of the herbicide on
the U.S. government, stating "they specified what the product would be and
how it would be packaged."
