Attacks freeze movement Shapiro: 'U' community mistaken (Continued from Page 1) library system, which supports scholarship in the humanities more than in subjects such as engineering. In response to an assertion by one of the Meet the Press panelists that funds were being poured into expensive robotics research, Shapiro retorted, "We're not planning any fancy facilities for robotics." The president also said that recent ef- forts to establish a Michigan Research Corporation to enable professors to market their research were initiated by the faculty, not by the administration. "The administration has resisted a research corporation," Shapiro said. ON THE PROCESS used for school reviews, Shapiro said that the ad- ministration chose the schools to go un- der review based on a consistent study of the entire University. All the schools have been involved in the budget cutting process, he said, and those picked for budget reviews were the ones which appeared to be headed for cuts of more than 10 percent of their budgets. "We didn't rate a set of priorities and select the schools with the highest or lowest scores," he said. Shapiro gave his complete support to Billy Frye, the University budget of- ficial who has taken the most criticism for the administration's handling of the present budget crunch. SHAPIRO defended the recent creation of a vice provost position within the administration, a move criticized by some as an expensive bureaucratic expansion. The new ad- ministrator, who will watch over the af- fairs of the medical school and Univer- sity hospitals, will save the University money by streamlining operations, Shapiro said. "If we hadn't (created the post), coordinating actions between the hospital and the medical school would have cost even more," he said. Correction Soviet defector Arkady Shevchenko said in a speech on campus Wednesday night that Soviet leader Yuri Andropov is "devoid of human warmth." In a story and headline, yesterday's Daily incorrectly reported the statement as "devoid of human worth." By GEORGEA KOVANIS A former government attorney testified yesterday that ex-FBI infor- mant Gary Thomas Rowe tried to prevent the murder of civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo 18 years ago. St. John Barrett, a government at- torney who was appointed as special prosecutor in the Liuzzo case in 1965, said Rowe did not fire the shots that killed Liuzzo. He added that Rowe just pretended to shoot by simulating firing and even attempted to dissuade three Ku Klux Klansmen from pursuing Liuz- zo's car. LIUZZO, A Detroit housewife, drove to Alabama in March of 1965 to par- ticipate in the voters rights march which stretched from Selma to Mon- tgomery, Ala. On March 25, 1965 she was driving a black march worker, later identified as LeRoy Moten, back to Selma when shots coming from a passing car carrying Rowe and three Klansmen struck her. Her five children are suing the gover- nment for $2 million, charging that the FBI inadequately supervised Rowe when he was an informant. Theiuzzo children believe Rowe is responsible for their mother's death. TESTIFYING yesterday in U.S. District Court in Ann Arbor, Barrett read from an interview he conducted with Rowe on April 1, 1965. During the interview, Barrett said Rowe said he attemped to deter the three Klansmen from pursuing Liuzzo's car. Barrett told the court that Rowe said he tried to get the Klansmen to leave Liuzzo's car alone by encouraging them to go to Selma. But in the same interview, Barrett said Rowe reported telling the Klan- smen they ought to "whip their ass (Liuzzo and Moten) and let the whole world see them." Rowe also said he en- couraged the Klansmen to "wait until (Liuzzo and Moten) get on a side road" before attacking, Barrett said. In a videotaped deposition, former Klansman Leroy Rutherford yesterday said Rowe "never tried to stop any (Klan) violence. He was always up front on things like that," Rutherford said. RUTHERFORD, who said he first met Rowe in 1960 or early 1961, classified Rowe as a nervous type of person. "He seemed like he was a little nervous," Rutherford said. "He had kind of a nervous twitch like his collar ZONTA CLUB of Ann Arbor announces its ANNUAL RUMMAGE SALE National Guard Armory 223 East Ann Fri., April 8th, 5-8:30 p.m. Sat., April 9th, 9-2:30 p.m. Zonta appreciates any donation of new and used household goods and wearing apparel. Call for pick-up: 668-8275 or 663-5000 was too tight," he said. "He had a ten- dency to be violent." Rutherford said he last saw Rowe on March 21, 1965, when he, Rowe and four other Klansmen went to Montgomery to watch the voters rights march and to participate in a Klan motorcade. Rutherford said that although the pur- pose of the motorcade, was "just to show Klan strength," Rowe came to the event armed with a gun. According to Rutherford, "the only person carrying a gun was Tommy Rowe." Rutherford said it was against Klan policy to carry weapons, but added that he and other Klansmen broke this rule frequently. RUTHERFORD told the court it was Rowe's idea to travel to Montgomery on March 25, 1965-thee day Liuzzo was murdered. According to James McGovern, a former FBI agent who was in charge of the Liuzzo investigation in 1965, Rowe was argumentative and difficult to con- trol. "I formed the opinion that Rowe was a very independent type of individual," McGovern told the court. He said that though Rowe was stubborn and argumentative, he was still a good in- formant. "You can't control any informant, especially Rowe, 24 hours a day,' McGovern told the court. "I would say he was difficult to control." McGovern said the use of outside in- formants is not an unusual practice. The government rested its case yesterday and, final arguments will be heard today. District Court Judge Charles Joiner said it could take a mon- th or more to decide the case.
