4 Page 2--Thursday, September 23, 1982-The Michigan Daily Suicide victim's wife to sue city By GREG BRUSSTAR The widow of a man who hanged him- self in an Ann Arbor Police Department detention cell has the legal grounds to sue the city and the department, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled yesterday. The court reinstated the negligence suit filed by Mary Lorraine Young, whose husband, Kenneth Lewis Young, committed suicide in 1978 while being held in a cell at police headquarters. The case will now go to a lower court for consideration. KENNETH YOUNG was arrested April 7,1978, for striking a police officer who responded to a domestic trouble call at Young's home. Immediately af- ter the arrest, Young hanged himself with his belt. Local jails, including temporary lockups and holding cells, are subject to Michigan Department of Corrections rules, which require that belts aid other potentially dangerous items be taken from those being held, the court said. The Ann Arbor Police Department does not incorporate this rule into their policy, according to John Van Loon, chief assistant city attorney. "WE DON'T know if we will retry the case or appeal the decision," Van Loon said. "(The city Attorney's Office) has had no time to evaluate or discuss the case." Van Loon said that the question of whether the Ann Arbor Police Depar- tment is subject to Department of Correction rules would be one of the bases of a possible appeal. The city, former Police Chief Walter Krasny, and several police officers had been freed of responsibility in Washtenaw County Circuit Court in the earlier decision after they argued the jail was not subject to those rules. The appeals court said yesterday, however, that state regulations apply to all jail facilities, even if they are inten- ded only for temporary use. DO YOU HAVE PIMPLES OR ACNE?

M LIUAI OF OMAHA INSURANCE COMPANY "OE "'""AH. ERAK IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Nationwide railway strike ends President Reagan signed emergency legislation late yesterday that ends a nationwide rail strike the administration said had put nearly a half million people out of work at a cost approaching $1 billion a day. Reagan's signature came just hours after the House passed the measure, 383-17. The measure imposes a contract settlement on the locomotive engineers' union and the rail industry, thus ending the walkout - at least officially - after four days. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, whose 26,000 members struck early Sunday, is expected to abide by the decree A union spokesman, John McCombs, said "Most of the engineers should be back to work within 24 hours." The strike has halted most freight traffic around the country and interrup- ted Amtrak passenger lines in the West and South as well as service for 150,000 commuters in San Francisco, Chicago and Boston. The agreement, recommended by a special presidential commission, calls for a 28.8 percent wage increase over 39 months retroactive to April, 1981. The engineers earn an average of $36,000, according to the Transportation Department. Senate fails to end filibuster WASHINGTON- The Senate refused for the third time yesterday to cur- tail a liberal filibuster against school prayer legislation but then created what Majority Leader Howard Baker called a "legislative gridlock" by rejecting a move to kill the measure. In two separate votes, liberals showed they have enough strength to block an up or down vote on the volatile prayer measure, but not enough to kill it. The Senate firstrefused 46-54 to limit the prayer debate, meaning conser- vative Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) fell six short of the 60 votes needed to in- voke "cloture." Then, Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), a hero to many conservatives who nonetheless opposes the New Right's agenda on social issues, rose and called for tabling, or setting aside, the prayer bill. That move failed 47-53. Had it been approved, the prayer fight would have been over and conservatives would have suffered their second major defeat in two weeks. House passes spending bill WASHINGTON- The House passed 242-161 yesterday a huge, catch-all money bill needed to keep the government in business after the Oct. 1 dawn of the new fiscal year. The measure also virtually guarantees there will be a special session of Congress after the November elections. The Senate is likely to take up the measure next Tuesday. As cleared by the House, the bill would keep the government in money only through Dec. 15, forcing Congress to return to work after the Nov. 3 elections to resume work on regular spending bills. That is a victory for President Reagan, who last week requested a lame-duck session for precisely that purpose. Originally, majority Democrats favored an expiration date of Feb. 28. But they relented during floor debate and suggested the Dec. 15 expiration. Reagan directs agencies to locate funds for black colleges President Reagan directed government agencies yesterday to help black colleges obtain more federal funds, but he stressed the move is designed only to get the schools through current economic problems. "Our goal is to get you through a particularly rough time-not only a time of economic uncertainty, also a time when you're re-examining your fun- damental role in American education," Reagan told a gathering of about 100 presidents of black colleges and universities. "We fully expect that as our program is successful due to your efforts as well as ours, your operations will become self-sufficient," the president said. "That is our ultimate goal and I'm certain that it's yours as well." Reagan added, "During these times when we're all trying to pull our coun- try out of an economic disaster brought on by a decade of irresponsibility, we want to make certain your institutions-colleges and universities which are so significant to the heritage of black Americans-are not damaged by economic conditions that you had no part in creating," the president said. Reagan's choice for economic advisor gets cool reception WASHINGTON- President Reagan's choice for a new chief economic ad- viser got a cool reception at his confirmation hearing yesterday, with one senator questioning his statements about personal wealth and another declaring the president shouldn't pay him much heed. At that, nobody really suggested there would be any real trouble for Mar- tin Feldstein, nominated to replace Murray Weidenbaum as chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers. But that didn't stop critics from getting their licks in, by way of assailing Feldstein's past economic comments and wondering aloud how a rich man couldsidentify with the average American's suffering during the national recession. In a way, Feldstein himself also took issue with the administration, declaring that "extremists" among supply-siders and monetary-control theorists "who predicted that inflation would be reduced without raising unemployment have been decisively proven wrong." He did not name names, but his criticism would seem to include many of the sweeping promises of swift economic revival that the president and some of his economic advisers made during the 1980 presidential campaign and early in Reagan's term.

But you can handle it. Because Navy flight training gives you the navigation, aerodynamics and other technical know-how you need. In return, Navy aviation demands something of you as an officer: Leadership. Your path to leadership starts with officer training that's among the most demanding in the military. It's intensive leadership and professional schooling combined with rigorous Navy flight training. And it's all geared to prepare making authority.

No company can give you this kind of leadership responsibility this fast. And nothing beats the sheer excitement of Navy flying. The salary is exciting, too. Right away, you'll earn about $18,000 a year. That's better than the average corpora- tion will pay you just out of college. And with regular Navy promotions and other pay increases, your annual salary will soar to $30,400 after four years. That's on top of a full package of benefits and privileges.
