I I Guardian Angels sue Detroit for meeting ouster a DETROIT (UPI) - Guardian Angel leader Curtis Sliwa filed suit yesterday in U.S. District Court, charging his civil rights were violated when he was thrown out of a public meeting last February. "This suit shows we're pressing Mayor (Coleman) Young from all sides," said Sliwa who is seeking $10,000 in damages. "We feel the mayor and the city violated our constitutional, civil, and statutory rights which we feel are covered by both state and federal common law." THE SUIT claimed the mayor or- dered several Guardian Angels, in- cluding Sliwa, forcibly ejected from a special public meeting Feb. 22 called by Young in response to an increasing number of schoolgirl rapes. The Guardian Angels patrol group was founded in New York City in the 1970s and has since set up patrols in dozens of U.S. cities, including Detroit. Guardian Angels can be identified by the distinctive red berets they wear while on patrol. Sliwa said last month that the group would visit Ann Arbor in July to discuss with city officials the possibility of establishing a local chapter, but no progress toward that meeting has yet been reported. According to the lawsuit, police arrested Sliwa at the meeting "for the purpose of harassing him." Charges against Sliwa were later dismissed. The Guardian Angels head said he planned to donate any award beyond his legal costs for the suit to the city to help pay for more police officers to patrol Detroit streets. a Who do you call?

Auto cos. claim workers underestimate crisis a DETROIT (UPI) - Union members and the American public do not under- stand how fragile the U.S. auto market still is despite record billion-dollar profits, the chief bargainer for General Motors Corp. said yesterday. GM presented the United Auto Workers with an in-depth presentation on its financial status and competitive situation vis-a-vis the Japanese during the day's negotiations. Meanwhile, the union in bargaining at Ford Motor Co. in nearby Dearborn, Mich., asked the automaker to fatten its profit sharing formula. Contracts covering 350,000 workers at GM and 114,000 at Ford expire Sept. 14. Ford yesterday reported a $909 million profit for the second quarter, and analysts expect GM's earning to be over $1 billion when they are reported today. Despite this year's strong perfor- mances, analysts are predicting sales will drop late next year and GM Vice President Alfred Warren said the com- pany pointed this out to the union. But he said he does not think UAW members understand the market's fragility. UAW Vice President Donald Ephlin agreed workers may be somewhat con- fused, but it is the firms' own fault. "I think the profit levels the com- panies have achieved and the too large (executive) bonuses sent the wrong message to our workers, the American public and to Washington," he said. He said workers' strong interest in job security - the UAW's No. 1 goal in this year's talks - shows they are aware auto sales could fall off in the future. s a
