STATE WELFARE DIRECTOR ISSUES WARNING: Food stamp cutof possible From The Associated Press Iranian diplomats and their families, their belongings hastily crammed into cardboard boxes, prepared to leave the United States last night, insisting that they were being abused more than the American hostages in Tehran. The Iranian diplomats were ordered to leave by midnight yesterday when President Carter severed diplomatic relations with Iran. One exception was made for a diplomat who will remain in Washington to see to the transfer of Iranian property to the custody of an as yet unnamed third country which will Iran and Iraq are believed to be close to war. See story, Page 7. act as Iran's "protective power." AP Photo MEANWHILE, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini urged Iranians yesterday to [dings. rejoice in their final break with the "world-devouring plunderer" America, and the Tehran government began mobilizing the people for a "holy war" of belt-tightening and possible rationing to grapple with economic woes. President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr declared there was "no reason to worry" about the U.S. economic em- bargo against Iran, but added that Iranians would need an extra effort to at they resist the pressure. In a message to the nation, Khomeini current said President Carter's anti-Iran ac- nflation tions would have no effect on the status g" has of the 50 U.S. Embassy hostages, in their 157th day of captivity in the hands of young Moslem radicals. HE SAID a decision on their fate still must await convening of the new go- Iranian Parliament, which may be months away. 9-33 U.S. State Department officials said that at least half a dozen of the Iranian diplomats asked to leave the country, 1fare requested more time in the United States for various reasons. At least one psey diplomat, whom officials refused to name, sought political asylum. The State Department said all such requests were rejected. In small groups, the Iranians s needed straggled into Dulles Airport, 20 miles 1 time to outside Washington, bound for London, umerous where they were to take a flight to ill with Tehran. They arrived at the airport in when it two city buses with a police escort. An embassy secretary, who identified herself as Mehrmah Hodai, arrived with her husband, who is a student, her six-year-old daughter, and more than a dozen huge cardboard boxes, assorted suitcases and a carrying case for the little girl's favorite doll. Airline officials told her that there was too much luggage, and while they pushed it to one side, Hodai told repor- ters, "They deal with us worse than hostages." She complained about the short time the diplomats were given to collect their belongings and the FBI surveillance they were placed under on Monday. MSA niisprinted By MITCH STUART At least 25 per cent of the ballots for the Michigan Student Assembly election yesterday and today contain misprints which may affect the out- come of the election, MSA Election Director Ross Romeo confirmed last night. A.nother 25 per cent of the ballots contain a separate error that should not affect election results, Romeo added. The first error is the omission of Mark Daniels' name from the list of LSA representative candidates on one-fourth of the ballots. Daniels is a candidate with the Realistic Party. REALISTIC vice-presidential candidate and party spokesman Thomas McDade said his party in- tends to file a written complaint with the Central Student Judiciary (CSJ) if indeed it appears that Daniels could have been elected if the ballots were all printed correctly. CSJ Chief Justice Dave Schaper said last night that "The can- cellation of the election is not a possibility." Schaper said, however, that a run- off election between Daniels and the lowest vote-getter in LSA is a See MSA, Page 10 LANSING (UPI)-State Welfare Director John Dempsey warned yesterday food stamp benefits likely, will be suspended in June for more than 800,000 Michigan residents due to delays in a Congress stricken, with udget-cutting fever. Dempsey said he has written to members of Michigan's congressional delegation urging fast action on measures needed to avert the crisis but believes at least a brief suspension is inevitable at this point. HE GRIMLY predicted the cutoff will trigger mass confusion as destitute recipients mob state welfare offices and will place a severe strain on an' already fiscally strapped state to come up with funding for emergency grants. The situation is particularly bad in Michigan where a slumping auto industry already is creating hardship with high unemployment. The current federal appropriation for the food stamp program will be exhausted at the end of May. U.S. AGRICULTURE Secretary Robert Bergland has announced he will be forced to suspend the program effective June 1 if Congress does not appropriate additional funding by May 15. A key Congressional figure has predicted the May 15 deadline likely will not be met. The veteran administrator said the current shortfall in food stamp funding results from a 1977 measure greatly expanding eligibility for the program. "On the one hand they promised benefits and on the other hand they failed to fund it," he said. DEMPSEY CHARACTERIZED the food stamp situation as an "urgent crisis," noting in one-third of the cases the program is the only form of public assistance received. In outstate counties, the per cent of persons receiving food stamps only is much igher than in Michigan's urban poverty pockets, Dempsey said. Eliminating food stamps could mean severe hunger for some needy persons and could even force a return to soup kitchens and similar charity efforts. "WE'RE VERY CLOSE to going back to the 1929-33 period," Dempsey said. Cutting off food stamps not only hurts the poor, but would mean a loss of about $25 million per month to the state's already weakened economy, he said. The 'cutoff also would increase demand for state emergency assistance grants by about $5 million per week, Dempsey said. He said the legislature likely would try to help "but wh could do, I don't know." Dempsey said the Congressional mood of "i fighting and budget cuttin 'We're very close tc ing back to the 192 period.' -State Wel Director John Den jeopardized earlier predictions legislation would be passed in avert a disaster.

Another bouncer charged with assault mmmw By NICK KATSARELAS An Ypsilanti man employed as a ouncer at Second Chance nightclub was arraigned yesterday in 15th District Court on charges of assault and battery. He is the third Second Chance bouncer to be arraigned on similar charges in two days. Daniel Haisenleder, 40, stood mute as Judge S.J. Elden set a pre-trial con- ference date for April 30. Haisenleder is accused of striking second Chance customer Thomas DeJonge on the evening of March 29. DeJonge said he was provoked by Haisenleder, before being kicked and punched about the body by Haisenleder and four other bouncers at the night- club.. DEJONGE SAID his injuries ranged from bruises all over his body to two swollen eyes, and cuts and bruises on *his face. Haisenleder was charged with assault and battery in another instance in July, 1978, while employed by Second Chance, but the case was later dismissed. Monday, two other bouncers were arraigned on aggravated assault and assault and battery charges in connec- tion with incidents occurring while em- ployed as bouncers at Second Chance. BOB SOSIN, who works part-time at the bar, said he has never witnessed an incident in which bouncers have used unnecessary force while dealing with unruly customers. He added that he has not seen bouncers provoke customers. Sosin said that bouncers do not at- tempt to use force, because "they're big enough where they don't have to show off." "All the bouncers I know are pretty level-headed," he added. HE STATED that the crowd coming to Second Chance may be a little more unruly than that which visits other bars. He explained that many of the customers are not University students. "It's a working class crowd," he said. Bob Adsit, an ex-bouncer, agreed with Sosin's evaluation of the clientele. Adsit also said he has never seen boun- cers provoke, nor physically abuse, customers, except for self-protection. Adsit explained that bar employees are frequently subjected to physical abuse and taunts by customers. "Most of the time,"'he said, "I found I was having to control my anger." f"t..sl.. nLa_ L.. ncren ern, 11.10_ An unidentified Wolverine baseball player runs for cover torrential rains which hit Ann Arbor.
