The Michigan Daily-Thursday, October 21, 1982-Page 3 Jobs, taxes, jobs, and more jobs By DAN GRANTHAM Unemployment and taxes were the Inajor issues at a debate yesterday between the candidates running for the i8th district state Senate seat. The four candidates - sometimes using animated gestures, but mostly talking placidly - expressed their views at a forum tsponsored by the American Society for Public Ad- ministration and the Eastern Michigan University policital science depar- tment. TWO OF THE candidates, Tisch independent William Witowski and Republican Roy Smith, stressed the need for more jobs in Michigan at the Ann Arbor Municipal League debate. Witowski led off the forum by stating that the biggest problem facing Michigan is jobs. Smith emphasized this as well, saying economic recovery means only "jobs, jobs, jobs" to him. Democratic candidate Lana Pollack said that she thought Michigan needs to State senate candidates hit all the election issues "sell itself" to encourage more businesses to settle in the state. She stressed the need of the state to provide more technical assistance from univer- sities to business. Libertarian candidate Kevin Osborn said that unemployment is the biggest problem facing Michigan and placed the blame on the other politicians. "So far the Republicans and Democrats have only offered us a lot of rhetoric," he said. Osborn said the legislators "only consider political and short term effec- ts, ignoring long and wide term effec- ts." REPUBLICAN candidate Roy Smith also had strong words for the opposing parties. Saying the current economic problems were "brought about by the party in power," he told told the audience that only the people could solve the problems in the legislature. If you don't like the (current situation) you can throw the bums out," he said. Smith said that if he were elected he would seek to compromise with the Democrats on crucial issues. He said better legislation could be brought about by "good solid political com- promises." The candidates expressed a wide range of views on how to implement a better tax structure in Michigan. POLLACK, THE only candidate in favor of raising taxes, proposed hiking the income tax by 1 percent, as well as taxing services such as barbering and dry cleaning. Along with a reform of the single business tax, Pollack said her plan could raise over $1 billion per year for the state. .' Both Smith and Witowski proposed reforms for the current system to provide more funds. Libertarian Osborn, however, said he was opposed to all taxation. "All taxation is theft," he said. He proposed to seek alter- natives for funding the government. * ,..

By SCOTT KASHKIN The prosectuion in the Arthur Arroyo arson case yesterday altered its ap- proach slightly, calling to the stand a chemical expert who said that although he found no traces of gasoline in sam- ples from the University's torched Economics Building, there were sub- stances that could have been used to feed the fire. This testimony by Robert Kurtz, the chemist for the Detroit fire marshall division, contradicted earlier prosec- ution testimony by State Police lab chemists identifying gasoline in four out of seven charcoal samples taken last spring frm the building. IT CONFIRMED, however, that five out of seven samples contained petroleum by-products, which Kurtz said could come from any of 10,000 materials. All of the materials - paint thinner, charcoal lighting fluid, and lighter fluid, for instance - are highly flammable, Kurtz said. But the testimony actually strengthened the defense's case, in a way, reaffirming that the substances could have already been in the buildinig. If a second witness had testified to the presence of gasoline, the implication would have been that Arroyo had brought it into the building. ON THE OTHER hand, the defense case was weakened in that a second ex- pert found flammable chemicals in the severely burned sections of the building. Stephen Shraber, a private chemist, had testified earlier in the trial that the police lab was not comprehensive in its analysis, and said no gasoline was present in the samples. After yesterday's proceedings, defense attorney Mitchell Nelson said he found the reports of dubious value. "Saying there's some petroleum distillants in no way indicates a chemical used as an accelerant," he said. "We are dealing with a 150-year- old building. Any number of chemicals used there over the years could have Daily Photo by TOD WOW Roy Smith and Lana Pollack (right), the Republican and Democratic can- didates for the 18th state senate district seat, square off in a debate in Yp- silanti last night.

IN HIS testimony last week, Arroyo denied using chemicals to spread the fire. He said he felt surprise at seeing the fire spread so quickly, and thought perhaps some chemicals already in the building had been ignited by the small fire he set. Prosecuting attorney William Delhey said after the recess that Arroyo's earlier testimony failed to explain the peculiar burn patterns in the hallway where he set the fire. In previous testimony,dAnn Arbor Det. Craig Roderick said he found "splash patterns" in his exploration last December of the building destroyed in a Christmas Eve blaze.
