By DICK ROBINSON Waterford Township school officials are expected to appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court yesterday’s Oakland County Circuit Court decision that they must restore full-day classes in five weeks. Judge William J. Beer ordered the school district “to implement a full academic day for all students in the district with all due haste but within a period not to exceed five weeks” from yesterday. Beer issued .his formal written ruling after he previously had verbally set a two-week deadline which expired Friday. However, acting Supt. Dr. John Pagen said it will be (impossible for the school district to comply with the new order because there is not enough time to hire some 125 additional teachers and rearrange school schedules. HALF-DAY SESSIONS All the school system’s estimated 9,000 elementary pupils are to be on half-day sessions this school year, half of them for each half of the year. About 9,500 secondary students con- tinue to go to schoOHor five hours a day for the second year in a row. They were cut back from six hours a day because of money problems in the district. * * * School Attorney. John Rogers said the board of education will “reluctantly decide to appeal the decision” at Thursday’s board meeting. Rogers said he would then file a stay and appeal to the Michigan Court of Appeals. He would ask that court turn it over to the state’s high court for hearing because of its importance. The Waterford case could be heard , along with a similar case in Livonia schools, which has already been appealed to the higher courts, according to Rogers. In Beer’s final order, the judge also defined a full academic day as six hours for secondary schools and five hours and 20 minutes for elementary schools and said the school board is immune from a state law prohibiting deficit financing. Beer had based his decision that shortened school days were unconstitutional on his interpretation that a state law saying a school year should be 180 school days means 180 full days. * * '★ He also held unconstitutional a law that bans deficit financing by school district, reasoning that the State Constitution requires the state furnish a free education for each child. DENIES REHEARING MOTION Beer yesterday also denied a motion for a rehearing of the case and indicated-he wouldn’t give the school district a stay. He told the attorneys for the suing parents and Rogers: “Everybody should have a full day of school here in one of the third or fourth richest counties in the country. This is -no-poverty area." * ★ The judge says he sees - “nothing dishonorable” in deficit financing and that the school' district should comply and face the problem of running .out of money when it comes to it in about six - months.

There were hints the CIA felt civilian lawyers hired to defend the Green Berets might talk about classified spy operations, Resor left no doubt he was unhappy with the whole affair.

Laird urged Congress today to approve President Nixon’s draft lottery proposal, linking it to hopes of "significant reductions in the level of draft calls in the months ahead.-” The system is needed to reduce the draft’s uncertainty for young men, Laird told a House armed services subcommittee. He said that period of uncertainy could be extended for many If administration efforts are successful in scaling down the draft through reduced troop levels in Vietnam. Hie defense chief said the draft lottery is the fairest way to limit the present seven-year draft-el iglbility period—19 years-of-age to 26-4o only one year, 19-year-olds. As draft levels fall, ha said, the present period of draft uncertainty will be longer. Laird was leadoff witness at hearings by a special House subcommittee. The secretary noted that Nixion has announced that if Congress does not remove the‘ ban on a lottery he will establish by executive order plans aimed at putting the highest draft risk period on 19-year-olds nearing their. 20th birthdays. However, all draft-eligible men would be placed in the 19-year-old category during the initial year in an effort to make everybody liable for a year. “But we feel that the random draft selection system will best meet the important test of fairness and un-derstandibllity and will best help in reducing uncertainty for young men concerning their draft prospects as they enter their 19th year of age,” Laird said. The hearings on Nixon’s proposal were called last week by Chairman L. Mendell Rivers, D-S.C. of the House Armed Services Committee. But there were suggestions by key members as they began that a hearing on the plan may be all that Nixon will get from Congress. “The chairman promised them we would consider the proposal. He didn’t promise we’d approve it,” said one member. Clear Skies, Co for October Arr September will sing her swi tonight as October arrives und< skies and cooler temperatures. 1 will be 40 to 45.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott said today “the administration is on a peace course” which the American people and Congress support. “Cut and run or bug out” proposals will undermine peace efforts, he declared. The Pennsylvania senator took note of plans for Oct. 15 student demonstrations against the Vietnam war and said “they ought to demonstrate against Hanoi -instead.” It was Scott’s first joint news conference with House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford of Michigan since Scott’s election to succeed the late Sen. Everett M. Dirksen as Senate minority leader. The two men met with newsmen after the Republican leadership breakfast with President Nixon. “Those who demonstrate Oct. 15 would accomplish more if they would direct their pleas to the new regime in Hanoi,” Ford said. “World opinion is on our side.” Nixon also took note of the conflict at, home over Vietnam policy in remarks made while awarding the Presidential Unit Citation to the 1st Marine Regiment at the White House for its heroic actions in Vietnam. He said it is very difficult to fight any kind of war, even with the unity of the people in World War II and “It is much more difficult for men to fight day after day when a nation appeals to be divided.” Then, the President said “I trust the political leadership we have in this country will match the sacrifice they have shown.” In the past, Nixon said, Americans have shown that “when it really counted they do not buckle, but stand fast so the enemy knew It had to negotiate a fair peace.” Nixon has told key congressional Republicans he needs evidence of American unity during the next 60 days as the United States tests whether the new Hanoi regime will move toward a negotiated settlement in Vietnam. Scott repeated that call to newsmen today.

Other 3rd Division Leathernecks were not so lucky. One was killed an^j nine wounded when North Vietnamese gunners slammed 10 mortar shells into their positions along the demilitarized zone. American B52 bombers retaliated by dropping 600 tons of bombs on North Vietnamese staging areas and just south of the DMZ. By Christmas, about 18,000 Leathernecks will have left Vietnam as seeond troop reduction. A cutback of 25,000 U.S. troops was completed in August. The 3rd and the 4th Marine regiments, the two regiments from the 3rd Division left in Vietnam, have patroled the western two-thirds of South Vietnam’s northern frontier area just below the 40-mile-wide demilitarized zone. The division’s other regiment, the 9th was redeployed in the initial cutback. Marine spokesmen at Da Nang said the first 1,000 Marines to leave were from the 3rd Regiment and from the headquarters and support units of the 3rd Division. All have served less than a year, a normal tour of duty, in Vietnam, the spokesman said. Within the -next week, the spokesmen S8id, more than 4,900,Marines, who have served for at least a year, wifi leave for the United States. The 4th Marine Regiment is still in the field and will be redeployed later. Casualties from the mortar attack were members of the 4th Regiment. The second round of American troop withdrawals began* 10 days ago, but involve only Small Army units. The 3rd Brigade of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division will have one more major combat assignment before departing for home. The brigade’s job, guarding the western and northern flanks of Saigon will be turned over to the Vietnamese army. Another small Army Reserve unit also left Vietnam today with the Marines. The 842nd Quartermaster Company flew from Da Nang. Spokesmen said the 120-man unit will be reconstituted in the Army Reserve in Kansas City.

Most of them were placed in institutions, where “they’d be better off.” ★ ★ ★ • A control group of oldsters received the haphazard and “inade-quate1 help normally available to the aged. By the end of the third year of the study, 53 per cent of the first group had died, compared to 35 per cent of the control group. The attrition rate was particularly marked among males. By the end of the fourth year, 72jaer cent* of the men receiving intensive care Bad died" as against 42 per cent of the control group. > Nursing home care for the aged can actually be a form of euthanasia, says Dr. Bruckner. And, ironically, the better the nursing home, the higher the death rate. ★ ★ ★ One explanation is that - old people, who may be infirm but who are still independent-minded, cantankerous individuals, are simply overwhelmed by the supervision they get in an efficient nursing home:— “Social workers, like doctors, have become institution-oriented,” she says: “They have more control over the patient in a nursing home and can wield more influence in that situation.” Ministates Weight U. N. The one-nation, one-vote principle that prevails in the U.N. General Assembly has long seemed inappropriate. In the past five years, for example, 14 newly independent countries have become U.N. members. Their aggregate area is 745,282 square miles and their combined population is 15.294,095. In other words, they are roughly equal in' size and population to the Republic of Sudan, which is itself a power of less than second rank. But each of the 14 has one assembly vote, or three more altogether than the entire continent of South America. There are now 126 member countries of the United Nations, of which exactly one-third have joined in the past 10 years. The effect of this membership explosion, a knowledgeable writer said recently in the Guardian Weekly, has been “to dissipate by sheer numbers the possibility of an effective consensus on anything.” Moreover, the cost of maintaining a delegation in New York can prove crippling for a ministate such as the Maidive Islands (112 square miles, 106,-969 population). ★ ★ ★ Accordingly, the Uhited States has proposed that a special “category of associate membership” with no or equalized voting right be established for new ministate members of the Uhited.Nations. Dues would be modest, resources of the specialized agencies fully available, and political responsibilities light. The Security Council voted on Aug. 29 to set up a committee of experts to examine the ministate issue, and U.S. Ambassador Charles Yost has urged that the question be placed on the agenda of the General Assembly, which convened recently. It is noteworthy that for the first time since 1959 there are— no new applications for U.N. membership. Not all Britons are happy about their nation’s scheduled 1971 switch to decimal coinage to supersede the time-honored but confusing system of 12 pennies to the shilling, 20 shill- one shilling to the guinea and $p on.

Cnn.tR It seems that the largest Brit-ish coin and the most frequently found in collection plates—the half-crown—will be eliminated In the new coinage. The half-crown (there is no such thing as a crown; that would be luu logical) is worth about 30 U.S. cents. Its place will be taken by a 10 newpence piece, worth 24 U.S. cents. The worry is that if the habitual giver begins giving the coin nearest in value, he will be cutting his donation by 20 per cent. Clergymen are hoping that the one-coin man will become a two-coin many dropping in two 10-penny pieces-and thus increasing his giving by 60 per cent. ★ ★ w But, being in the salvation business, they are not too optimistic about human nature.

MRS. ELIZABETH J. GUZAK Not A Pretty Picture! Price of Oil Import Curbs Unclear British Plan ‘Change’ Change By ST AN BENJAMIN WASHINGTON (JB -“Security has a cost,” said the U.S. petroleum experts. Of course somebody had to go and ask how much. ★ , # * In 130 pages, reluctantly made public last week, the Interior Department tried to answer that question a dozen different ways for a presidential task force struggling to unravel the complexities of U.S. oil import policy. himA i . * News Analysis , Now the task force will' have to unravel the Interior estimates as well. STRAIGHT FROM EXPERTS John Ricca, deputy director of Interior’s Office of Oil and Gas, told the task force the analyses came straight from the experts and “our professional editors are blameless for any lack of clarity." Oil import policy is an area where national security, big business and the public interest intertwine and often collide. ★ * ★ But its basic elements are clear enough: Foreign oil is cheaper than U.S.-produced oil in the United States market. Interior’s experts estimated that in a free market foreign 'oil would dilve about half of U.S. production out of competition, -same- billion a year, by 1980 the extra cost would be $3.5 billion a year: The report failed to show how this stacked up against the cost of any other ways of assuring an oil supply for emergencies. * * * On Sept. 19, Interior experts sent over a series of studies comparing costs of alternative problems. The papers were released to newsmen last Tuesday, then withdrawn and stamped “Confidential," and after prdtests, finally were released ■ again Wednesday night. . The most striking feature was a new cost estimate for the present import-restriction program, developed by a different method used ‘by Charles River Associates, a consulting firm; * ★ Instead of $3.5 billion a year by i960, the Charles Rivef method predicted a cost of more than $8 billion. “Despite intensive efforts to do so," wrote Ricca to the task force, “we have been unable to develop factual evidence to demonstrate which analysis is more correct . . . we give you a ,. . dilemma.

Last March, however, President Nixon appointed the Cabinet task force to review this policy. * , * * The Interior Department, last July 15, offered its opinion that security and savings “limply could not be reconciled. “Bluntly,” it said, “the United States is not endowed with sufficient petroleum resftirces, producible at low enough cost, to compete in world markets and at the same time assure adequate secure supplies . . .

We’ve bad our sour 6mog and economic bog, turmoil and travail, strikes, Toonerville Trolley transportation, and what-not. —Then; -for no readily—apparent reason, we came up with the Mets. They finished ninth In the National League last season and committed so many gaffes they gave their manager, a decent chap named Gil Hodges, a heart attack. Now they are the hottest thing in baseball: Topic A in a town that for many years looked upon a winning team in. baseball as one of its inherited rights. LOOKING FOR PARALLEL Everybody has flipped over this improbable ball dub. A reporter with a bit of a memory and dusty notebooks thinks back, searching for a parallel. I don’t remember any of the historians of bygone pennant winners dipping as deeply into the sociological aspect of a winner. True, there was a- nut sportswriter who once considered it newsworthy to lead hit column with a list of the 1934 Detroit Tigers who had shaved before the first game of the World Series, and, naturally, a list of thoiie who didn’t. But does that ‘exercise in banality rate with the comment, gleaned by the Times, from Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney? (“I went* out . to see them once about five years ago and it waa marvelous.") In what is probably a seditious way, I keep thinking of the awful letdown that will — sooner or later ■*- clobber the Mets and fracture the fragile myth of invincibility. When a friend said to Gif Hodges recently, “You’re a sure shot to be named Manager of the Year," the manager of the Mets replied, “Just as well. I couldn't get that title next year.*’ SHOCKED TIGER EXEC Iii Detroit the other day I ran into a friend who is with the executive end of the -year- American League p e n n a n t going away and then beat the mighty St. Louis Cardinals in an enthralling World Series. He is still in a state of shock. “I just can’t understand It,” he said. “This year we have the same bodies as last year — the greatest pitcher in the game, Denny McLain, the same arms, legs, drive, guts, skills tt , and we gcT our Drains knocked out.” * ; * The comment that I best recall was that made bj) Mrs. Nicholas (Alice Roosevelt) Longworth. Asked for her opinion of the Mets; and apparently after discovering that the Mets are a baseball clqb, the volatile octogenarian said: “My father (Editor’s Note — Theodore) wouldn’t have been seen within a mile of a game. He thought it was mollycoddle stuff — not at all good and savage lika foot-bail.’’ Bully. Smiles There is nothing like a pretty nurse to make you realize how sick or old you are.

WATERFORD TAXPAYER Disagree With Critics of Nursing Home Care Employes of nursing homes don’t treat elderly people like animals. We treat them like we would treat our loved ones. We attempt ,to help their needs and don’t just tie them up and leave them. We restrain patients to prevent them from falling and hurting themselves. We don’t drug them for anything. If they are going to hurt themselves, we give them sedative to calm them down, by doctor’s orders. We work in a good nursing home in Pontiac and it hurts to hear people judge nursing homes. We try our best to care for those people nobody wants.

There had been some doubt. The affirmative word was received yesterday by Anthony ' Wodek, sanatorium director. ★ * * Frederick A. Traill, chief of the division of health facility standards and. licensing Michigan Department of Health, has given hospital certification for all the 166 beds at the county facility. The hospital status^ means that state funding will*-be continued on its present cost basis — olr between $30 and $40 -per day per patient. RATE CUT THREAT The State Department of Social Services had threatened to qualify 109 of the sanatorium beds for only the lower convalescent home’s rate. County officials said this would have meant an additional j yearly county expense o f $600,000 at the sanatorium and: might well have meant the end of county hospitilization The other 57 sanatorium beds are devoted to tubercular patients and as such were to be kept at the regular hospital funding rate. The Board of Institutions, which governs the Sanatorium protested the proposed action at a meeting late last week. Charles B. Edwards the chairman, had said the board was prepared to sue the state for the additional money. : Edwards is chairman of the County Board of Supervisors as well as the Board of Institutions. EVALUATION REPORT The letter from Traill apologized for the fact that an evaluation report made by his department June 12 had not been sent to the county. The division chief gave the county | until Nov. 30 to make alterations to the building as asked in the report. j Edwards, elated at receiving the license noted, however, that it would have to be returned to Lansing. Though the letter covering it was duly signed, the license was not. Edwards said he saw little problem in'having the oversight collected. The threat of reduced funds has jeopardized Sanatorium operation since last April when Bernard Houston, director of’ the State Department of Social Services, reported that reimbursement rates were being reconsidered by the State Health Department. In waged a proposed legislation which they said would increase Sanatorium1 operation costs to the county by $2 million. YEARLY INSPECTION The 40fyear-old Sanatorium is i subject to yearly inspection by; the state. County officials often; have expressed the fear that some year remodeling programs will not be enough to please state inspectors.

I don’t find it on our lawn. * 1 ★ ★ ★ ANSWER: When we look at our well-tended lawns, with their smooth areas of rich green grass, it is hard to realize that they are composed of thousands of true flowering plants. The shape of a single grass plant, of a kind often used for lawnsris 'showrra t upper left.Originally, this plant had little flowers where you see the spike sticking up. But the spike is now filled with tiny grass seeds, much as you see magnified below. Yet young Henry, looking carefully, can’t find any such seeds. This is simply because his sister, having fun with the new family riding mower, is Using it to trim the tops off the grass plants. Obtfously, there will be no spikes left to develop grass seeds in. How then, we wonder, can the grass go on. growing so thickly and richly? The picture at upper left tells the story. Besides developing seeds, the grass plant can send , stolons, or runners, along the ground. The end of one of these can' take root and send up a new grass plant. This is how grass grows, making the sdd we are all so familiar with. Yet grass seed is used on lawns, too, especially to start new ones in the fall. Commercial growers let especially good grass go to seed, so they can gather the se£ds and sell them.

Crumbling Capitol Section Has Congressmen Odds WASHINGTON (AP) - Most congressmen agree something must be done about1 the historic bpt crumbling sandstone walls on the west front of the United States Capitol, but there is a sharp disagreement over the proper solution.---■— * * *' At stake is survival of the last remaining exterior work by early American artisans tfho, built the Capitol. ★ * ★ The Senate is considering a House-passed measure to pro: vide planning money fior a massive extension of the Capitol building—construction that wbuld bury the walls.

The central west facade would, be extended up to 88 feet, creating 4V4 acres of new space for restaurants, toilets, visitor centers, meeting rooms and numerous private offices for congressmen. cause it was cheap and the young republic was hard-pressed for cash. “All the original* architects recommended marble,’’ said Mario E. has accused the extension proponents, led by House Speaker John W. McCormack, D-Mass., and Capitol Architect J. George Stewart, of trying to “make the Capitol into a king-sized Howard Johnson’s." * it * The original Capitol was designed by Dr. William Thornton, a Virgin Island-born Philadelphia physician who was selected by George Washington. It was built principally by James Hoban, the Irish emigrant who constructed the first wing and also designed \pnd built the White House; Benjamin Latrobe, who added a second wing and restored the Capitol after the British burned it in 1814, and Charles Bulfjnch of Boston, who jjput up the center section and rotunda.

Stewart, in arguing for extension, says he fears some new calamity if the west wall is not stabilized, occasion such as the state funeral services of the late President Eisenhower when the leaders of all branches of government were concentrated in the Capitol and when many thousands of our citizens passed through the building,” Stewart said-“Just think of what would result if during such a period the west section should collapse or even partially collapse.’' ★ ★ ★ Also on the side of expansion is the recommendation of past Capitol architects. Both Latrobe and Bulfinch prepared drawings showing a pediment on the west central front, one of the changes planned. Thomas U. Walter, who built the present House and Senate wings and added the great dome in the 1860s, said the fronts needed to be extended to accommodate the outsized dome. NOT JUST 1 BUILDING The extensionists also say the Capitol was never just one building but has grown through the years. *■ + . * Their biggest argument is that there is no other way to save the building, basing their case on a 1964 study by a con- sultant engineering firm. But: most of the five-volume report! is taken up with details on the building’s condition. * * * Rep. Samuel S. Stratton, D-N.Y., complained “there is only one small paragraph which states flatly, without any description or analysis, that restoration is impossible and extension is the only solution.” ★ .*. * Opponents, led by the American Institute of Architects, claim the wall can be saved in its present condition. ‘SLANTED’ The opposition also contends) that everything done so far on the official level has been slanted toward buildng a case for extension. In addition opponents claim the extension will cost five times as much per square foot the new Rayburn House Office Bqilding, which skyrocketed above cost estimates. * * * Critics also say that eight of the last nine major design contracts awarded for Capitol Hill construction have gone to a small group of architects—now jin partnership. The same group has contracts for the west front extension. EXTERIOR CAR WASH WITH JET WAX 1.25 ON REQUEST ONLY KUHN AUTO WASH 149 W.
