Elections Director George Herstek said yesterday a meeting of the board of state canvassers would be held "for- thwhith,",Tuesday at the' earliest, to approve wording of the measure and beging the process of printing ballots. Since officials were working under a court order, Herstek said he was not WOODLAND HI $100 OFF First Month's Rent On 1 Bedroom Apartments 6 or 12 Month Lease *ktennis courts heat included * 24 hour maintenance . * conveniently located between Ann Arbor 8 Ypsilanti 971-2032 4300 Packard MON.-FRI.9-6 zSAT. 8 SUN. 11.5 Presented by Mid-America Management $5000FFANY SESSION this add G0* BLUE BODY RVU BS BATHS 2151/2 BTS. 4th Ann Arbor SCORTS 668-9755 concerned about state law requiring notification of local clerks of the ballot wording by Tuesday. Acting only about two hours after an extraorindary Friday night hearing, state Supreme Court justices agreed petitions for the 50 percent property tax cut plan met legal requirements and directed state election officials to act to place it before the voters. THE TISCH PLAN-denounced by top state officials as a potentially devastating blow to state gover- nment-will appear along with two rival tax reform plans, one drafted by the Milliken administration. The court overruled Ingham County Circuit Judge James Giddings who had found the Tisch petitions legally defec- tive because they failed to disclose all provisions of the state Constitution which the amendment would alter or void. The petitions had more than enough signatures. The author of the proposal, Shiawassee County drain com- missioner Robert Tisch, said he was "terribly delighted for the people who worked so hard to support me now for as much as a year and one fialf." He had bitter words for activist at- torney Zolton Ferency, whose lawsuit led to Giddings' ruling. "PEOPLE WILL see him now for what he is-a damned troublemaker who would like to deny the freedom of every citizen of the state of Michigan," Tisch said. State Attorney General Frank Kelley said "the decision reinforces the people's right of petition for changes in the constitutional framework of the government." "Allowing public acceptance or rejection of ballot issues strengthens our democracy," said Kelley, who also challenged Giddings' ruling. GOV. WILLIAM MILLIKEN, while blasting the Tisch proposal, said voters should get a chance to vote on the measure. "I believe the Tisch proposal is bad for Michigan and bad for its citizens but I would rather have the final judgment on Tisch made by the citizens than by the courts," Milliken said. "In the end, I believe the proposal will fail on its own demerits." The high court heard about an hour of arguments in an unusual Friday night session called because of the Jewish holidays. Justice John Fitzgerald declined to comment on the reasons for the high court ruling, saying they would be ex- plained in an opinion to be issued soon. Hostage negotiations may occur as Khomeini changes demands, WARSAW, Poland-Thousands of striking Polish steelworkers in Katowice have won government approval to form independent trade unions,' the official news agency PAP said yesterday, and the usually quiet Peasant's Party demanded a greater role in government. An independent union spokesman in the Baltic port of Gdansk, mean- while, denied that shipyard workers would strike tomorrow over a benefits dispute. Reports that workers joining his movement may lose health and welfare benefits have been circulating in the area. Meeting another demand of its workers, Poland said yesterday the state radio will begin broadcasting Roman Catholic mass nationwide on Sundays. Hoffa's wife dies of heart illness DETROIT-For more than five years, Josephine Hoffa waited anxiously for word on the fate of her husband, missing ex-Teamsters president James R. Hoffa. Her health gradually declined during her long and lonely vigil and she finally succumbed to recurring heart problems Friday night at age 62. "I think that my father's disappearance was a big factor in the begin- ning of the decline of her health because the light of her life went out," said son James P. Hoffa who was at his mother's bedside when she died. "She put up a very valiant struggle and a very gallant fight." Children of illegal aliens begin school tomorrow in Texas DALLAS-Thousands of children of illegal aliens, most of them from. Mexico, begin their first full week in Texas' public schools tomorrow, taking advantage of bitterly disputed court rulings granting them free education. State officials are worried about who will pick up the tab, school ad= ministrators say they were overburdened anyway, and some citizens say the cause of the "problem"-an almost-open border-is not being addressed and may get worse. But others say schools can successfully absorb the students, many of., whom will need bilingual teachers. Gov. Bill Clements, who originally sided, with those opposing admission of the children, reversed his position on Friday and said the pupils pose no hardship on local school systems. Fraser calls Reagan apprentice DES MOINES, Iowa=United Auto Workers President Douglas Fraser- saying voters have the clearest choices since 1964-yesterday labeled Jimmy Carter as a journeyhan President and Ronald Reagan an appren-' tice. Fraser, comparing the presidency to training workers, likened Carter to a journeyman with three and one-half years of experience. Fraser derided independent John Anderson as a conservative and urged members to work for the re-election of Carter. 6l Continued from Page 1) The U.S. government does not object to Iran making claims on these assets but officials say the government would have no role in a final decision. Billions of additional dollars are in- volved in Khomeini's demand for can- cellation of U.S. claims against Iran and for the release of Iranian assets which President Carter froze shortly after the hostage crisis began. The one demand which apparently poses no difficulty for the ad- ministration calls for U.S. guarantees of non-intervention in Iran's internal af- fairs. Since the start of the crisis, the administration has repeatedly volun- teered such assurances. ONE OFFICIAL shook his head when he recalled the difficulty the United States has had in resolving finan- cialclaims disputes with other coun- tries. In some cases, decades passed before they were settled. Meanwhile, in Paris, a spokesman for former Iranian premier Shahpour Bakhtiar quickly denied a U.S. newspaper report that the exiled politician was joining forces with the late shah's son to stage a monarchist coup in Iran. Bakhtiar, a prominent opposition figure who served as the shah's last premier, has already said his goal is the overthrow of Khomeini's turbaned dic- tatorship. But he has also opposed a restoration of the monarchy. The Atlanta Constitution had repor- ted key anti-Khomeini exiles in the United States and Europe were forming a "common front" to restore a limited monarchy in 'Iran under Crown Prince Reza, whom the shah on his deathbed designated as the heir to his toppled throne. In another development, the Iranian news agency Pars said Iranian forces, reinforced by volunteers including ar- med theology students, yesterday recaptured three border outposts held by troops of the rival Islamic regime in Iraq. Pars said one Iranian soldier was killed and eight wounded in two days of fighting to "recover" the outposts along the disputed 75-square-mile bor- der area. It claimed "about 100 Iraqis were killed," and heavy damage was inflicted on Iraqi installations, am- munition depots and strongholds. Iraq, in a military communique broadcast by Baghdad radio, said Iran continued its "hostile activities" on Iraq's eastern border Friday and yesterday. It made no mention of a loss of territory. Iran and Iraq have been fighting a sporadic border war since the Iranian revolutionin 1979. The dispute centers on conflicting territorial claims and sectarian hostility between Iraq's ruling Islamic Baath Party and Iran's Shiite Moslem leaders. Pars also announced yesterday that Iranian President Abolhassan Bani- Sadr will send a special envoy to Lon- don to protest the deportation of Iranian demonstrators arrested in the British capital early last month.

Dorothea Morefield, wife of U.S. Counsel Richard Morefield, said Khomeini's remarks were the most "sensible" she had heard yet but ad- ded: is preserved on The Michigan Daily 420 Maynard Street GrdAND Graduate Library "It was good news today but I'm slow to get excited.

"We never had any claim on the money . . . I have always felt if the money legally belongs to the people of Iran, then it should be returned to them," she said. "I don't know whether the people would get it or not, but it really isn't our money anyway and I would far rather have the hostages returned than the money." Perhaps the most pessimistic reac- tion to the Khomeini proposal came from Alberta Gillette, mother of Navy communications specialist Duane Gillette, 23. "Nothing gets my hopes up anymore you hear this news and it's just a statement, that's all," she said. "You don't take nothing seriously. Tomorrow it may change again."

Gov't may provide fund for toxic waste cleanup WASHINGTON-Representatives of state and local governments urged the Senate Finance Committee yesterday to approve legislation that would establish a $4 billion "superfund" to begin the cleanup of toxic chemical - wastes. The legislation would help finance the removal of hazardous wastes seeping into the environment and allow some compensation for victims of the toxic wastes. The chemical industry, by and large, has strongly opposed the bill because it stresses fees to the industry to pay for waste cleanup and includes legal provisions that would make companies liable for injuries resulting from their wastes. 44 Volume XCI, No.10 Sunday, September 14.1980 The Michigan Daily is edited and managea by students at the University of Michigan.
