LANSING (AP) — The Legislature today passed a budget of $1,101 billion, highest in Michigan’s history but some $52 million short of Gqv. George Romney’s recommendations. ★ * * Giving final approval to the general fund budget in a marathon, all-night session, the lawmakers wrapped up major legislation and prepared to adjourn until Aug. 1 when they will return for final adjournment. The budget, outlining spending for the current fiscal year which began July 1, tops last year’s estimated $1,066 billion in appropriations by some $35 million. Romney recommended a $1,153 billion budget in his annual, budget message to the1 Legislature last Februafy. The full total of the 1967-68 budget is $1,101,144,-155. Besides the $1-1' billion general fund budget, the Legislature approved a $323-million distribution of restricted funds to various departments and agencies. GENEIUL FUND REVENUE The State Revenue Department esti- mates total general fund revenue for fiscal 1967-68 at $1,107 billion. That plus a $13 million treasury surplus at the beginning of the period is believed to be enough to balance the budget, as required by the State Constitution. However, some legislators warned it may be necessary to enact supplemental appropriations to make up for unforeseen expenses, particularly in education and social services — the largest areas of spending. The state’s new income taxes passed not quite two weeks ago, are expected to account for $174 million of the revenue for this fiscal year. Sales taxes are expected to total about $249.7 million. ★ ' A * A 2.6 per cent personal income tax takes effect Oct. 1. Income taxes of 5.6 per cent on corporations and 7 per cent on financial institutions become effective next Jan. 1. Largest appropriation calls for expenditure Of $303.2 million for school aid. This includes an increase in aid to public schools, estimated at about $24 million.

But he said the cut in transportation aid will work a real. hardship on districts which depend on school buses. HIGHER EDUCATION The second largest bill provides $244,-585,378 for higher education and general education, with about $204 million going to the state’s colleges and universities, In addition, $164,674,534 g«es to social services, including $65.67 million for the state’s medicaid program. The Legislature approved $85.2 million fair general government, grants and transfers, including $1.39 million for the controversial Civil Rights Commission. Also approved were trite to spend $59.5 million for capital outlay, $131.2 million for mental health, $17.9 million for public health, $22.9 million for State Police and the Military Department, $15.9 million for three regulatory departments, and $19.2 million for the conservation and agriculture departments.

Be Realistic, AMC Urges Auto Workers After examining the bill for higher education appropriations passed yesterday by the State Legislature, Oakland University Chancellor Durward B. Varner said today it appeared a tuition hike of from $50 to $100 for in-state students will be required. Included in the bill that trimmed what GOv. Romney had recommended for higher education by over $13 million was a provision for. tuition increases-for out-of-state students. The bill, sent to Romney for his approval, specifies a $133,000 increase over the current $4,251,000 OU budget. A budget increase of $1.6 {million had been requested by the university. “It seems that there is no way for us to operate without an increase in tuition,” Varner said, in noting that the 3 per cent- bike granted by the Legis- lature was far below the projected budget needs of the university , TUITION ADJUSTMENTS The OU* Board of Trustees will meet July 21 to take formal action on tuition adjustments. The present two-semester tuition rate at the university for in-state ‘students is $378 and $1,044 for out-of-state students. Also prescribed by the Legislature is (hat OU boost its tuition for nonresidents of the state by $348. A hike of $201 was planned by the university. A provision of the higher education bill prohibits institutions from increasing enrollments of out-state students by more than 5 per cent over last year’s level. ' * ' ★ * Romney’s recommended aid to higher education was trimmed across the board by the Legislature. Romney had proposed a budget hike of $360,000 for OU. As, at OU, budgets at the three major state universities were increased slightly by the Legislature over current year spending plans but all fell below the governor’s recommendation. The University of Michigan has a current budget of $58.09 million. Romney recommended $62;27 million for the coming year, and the Legislature decided on $59.16 million. Michigan State University was granted $56.75 million compared to $55.27 million for the current year and the governor’s recommendation of $59.40 million. The governor recommended $33.84 million for Wayne State University, and legislators came close to meeting his figure by appropriating $33.56 million. The current year budget at WSU is $32.32 million.

Frank G. Armstrong, AMC vice president—administration, reminded the union the corporation, smallest of the U.S. automakers, failed to chalk up a profit last year. Related Story, Page C-10 “And we’ve had no profit so far this year,” Armstrong said when asked if AMC would seek concessions from the union. The negotiations began amid talk that the financially troubled ■ corporation might get soft treatment from the union. The Detroit News reported Walter P. Reuther, UAW president, had already told AMC officials privately that the corporation can expect concessions. Reuther, as usual, did n6t make a personal appearance at the start of talks with AMC, which completed the round of opening contract talks with the U.S. manufacturers. American Motors, besides failing to show a profit, owes nearly $66 million to 24 banks. One top demand Reuther made of the Big Three-General Motors Corp. on Monday, Ford Motor Co. on Tuesday and Chrysler Corp. on Wednesday—was a profitsharing plan, which was won at AMC in 1961. College Has Control of Cigarette Filter NEW YORK (AP)—Columbia University said today it had been given a controlling interest in a new cigarette filter which, it says, sharply reduces tar and nicotine in tobacco smoke but lets the tobacco flavor through. Hie university said it would make the filter available immediately throughout the world in an attempt to .help smokers help themselves by reducing by two-thirds the tar and qicotine they inhale. Except for the first two years, however, there has been no profit to share. "We intend to get for AMC workers their full share of the profit pie,” Great-house said at the news conference. “All we need now is a pie.” Noting that cigarette consumption had risen in the United States despite warnings it presented a health hazard, Dr. Grayson Kirk, Columbia president, said he hoped the new filter might lead to a significant lessening of what he called one of the world’s major health problems.

WASHINGTON (ill - SecretaVujfJJe-fense Robert S. McNamara says he “not sure hdw many” more U S. troops must be sent to Vietnam, but top military officers say privately at least 25,-000 are required just to regain lost ^omentum. McNamara, back from his ninth trip to Vietnam, told President Johnson yesterday more Americans must be dispatched to the wartorn Southeast Asian nation. He said there’s no need to call up reserves, however. The subject was expected to be at the top of the list again today at a meeting of the National Security Council. Expected to join that session is Gen. William C. Westmoreland, commander of U.S. troops in Vietnam, who flew into Washington last night after attending his mother’s funeral in Columbia, S.C. He said on arrival that “If We have additional men, the result would be a greater pressure being brought to bear on the enemy.” Military officers contend the U.S. war effort has lost momentum in recent weeks due to troop shifts toward Vietnam’s so-called demilitarized zone. They say privately the manpower decisions now under consideration at the White House will determine whether the war’s progress moves at its current pace, slacks off or picks up. NEW FORCE LliVEL McNamara told newsmen yesterday 20,000 to 30,000 more men probably will be sent to Vietnam in the next 90 days-as part of previously determined increases in manpower. But he said he Bd not know when a new force level decision would be reached. He said 450,000 to 460,000 U.S. troops now are in Vietnam. President Johnson, the military believes, is faced with basically three considerations. • “We can assume there will be no more forces — but at a cost of slowing the momentum of the war,” one ranking officer said. • “We can restore the momentum with one division.” This would fill gaps left when about 15,000 Army troops are pulled northward to back up Marines battling intensified Communist thrusts along the DMZ. • “We can step up the pace with forces beyond that.” Continued Cool Outlook for Area Clearing and continued cool is the outlook for the Pontiac area tonight and tomorrow.

Six shopcraft unions, previously blocked twice by Congress from carrying out a threatened strike, say they will withdraw their current no-strike pledge if the conferees fail to agree by the end of this week on a plan to avert a strike. ★ * * But the compromise now under consideration would put into effect a five-man board’s recommendations for a settlement unless they were rejected by both houses of Congress. The unions consider such a settlement to be compulsory arbitration, which a union leader says probably would lead to an immediate strike. ‘We could be on strike in 20 minutes” if Congress enacts legislation to force a wage settlement, President P.L. “Roy” Siemiller of the AFL-CIO International Association of Machin-id Wednesday. The Machinists Union is one of those | threatening a walkout. SENATE-HOUSE The conferees are trying to compromise between a Senate-passed bill, which follows administration proposals for compulsory settlement, and the House version, which merely would extend for 90 days the period during which a strike is prohibited. Both bills would create a five-man board to attempt Mediation and then recommend settlement terms. A Senate provision, dropped by the House, would put these terms into effect automatically after 90 days—something the unions strongly op- U.N. Seen Passing Move Against Israel UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) — U.N. diplomats predicted today that the General Assembly would adopt a Pakistani resolution asking the Security Council to force Israel to give up the Old City of Jerusalem.

A pattern repairman and 27-year employe at Pontiac Motor, Anable is 46 years old and lives at 642 First. He is married and has two children. The three-day runoff election this week was necessitated by a stalemate in the balloting that ended June 29.

Those elected will take office Supday and serve two-year terms. The Pakistani proposal “deplores the failure of Israel to implement” an earlier assembly request and “reiterates its call to Israel” to rescind its annexation measures. Pakistani Ambassador Agha Shahi, introducing the resolution Wednesday charged that in “the flush of military success, Israel presumes to say to the assembly: ‘We will go ahead with whatever we mean to do: You can say what you like.’ ’’ OUT OF PLACE Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban wrote Secretary General U Thant Monday that the term annexation Was out of place for the “administrative and municipal measures" Israel took" in Jerusalem after the June war, ‘Whatever be the euphemisms employed,” Shahi said, “the fact remains that Israel is attempting to absorb and integrate the Holy City within its territory,” and “the holy places of Islam in Jerusalem are not, I repeat not, open to those nearly seven million Moslems of the world who are not living in the territory under Israel’s occupation.” * ★ ★ Eban retorted that the Pakistan resolution was “inspired by the Arab political interests. ■ recalled that Jordan had barred Jews from their shrines in the Old City while it held it, but he said his government had started a move to place Jewish, Christian and Moslem holy places “under the religious interests of the faiths which hold them cred.” Talks are already under way with a Vatican official, he pointed out, and the discussions ‘have involved or will involve all the world religious inter- Under the proposed compromise, the board’s recommendations would take effect after 90 days unless rejected by both houses of Congress. Thus, even if the House continued to object to a compulsory settlement, the settlement could take effect if the Senate went along. Although this proposal was rejected 5 to 4 by the House conferences, sources say Republican conference members are strongly urging Rep. Glenn C. Cunningham, R-Neb., to switch his vote to the minority. Cunningham and four Democrats aw form the majority. A proposal offered by Rep. Brock Adams, D-Wash., turned down by the senators by a one-vote margin, would have placed the board’s recommendations into effect after 90 days, provided both houses approved them. Another compromise, offered by Rep. J.J. Pickle, D-Tex. would put the recommendations into effect unless vetoed by one house. This also was turned down. .

The Soviet leader had conferred with President Johnson in Glassboro, r . with Fidel Castro in Havana. He stopped in Canada en route to Paris where he -met with President Charles de Gaulle. Eaton said Kosygin sent word to him through the Soviet Embassy in Washington, asking a meeting in Gander, Newfoundland. INTERPRETER The industrialist said Anatoly Doylnitszyn of the Soviet -bassy in Ottawa served as the interpreter. For more than 10 years, Eaton has been on cordial terms with the Soviet leaders. He received the Lenin Peace Prize in 1960. He frequently talked with Nikita S. Khrushchev and Anastas I. Mikoyan. Eaton said he known Kosygin for about 10 years. * ★ * Eaton once summed up his view by saying capitalism is vastly preferable to communism, “but we can’t destroy communism; it’s here to stay.” So he advocates what Khrushchev called “peaceful coexistence.” Eaton said Kosygin opened their conversation by questioning him about the state of the American economy. He said he replied, “There has been a slight falling off, but on the whole it’s excellent.” The discussion then turned to the presidential election next year, and Kosygin asked Eaton about the potential Republican candidates. Eaton said he mentioned those in the news but Kosygin made no comment.

Rights Group Budget Hike 'Not Enough' LANSING (AP)—The Legislature boosted the controversial Civil Rights Commission’s budget to M-4 million Wednesday night, but the Senate turned down a bid to raise it to the level sought by Gov. George Roihney. After more than an hour of debate, the Senate defeated for the second time an attempt by Sen.

Housowaros—2nd Floor A-4 THE PONTIAC PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1967 Is It Chaos or Freedom? Behind the Furor: Flexible Scheduling Walled Lake Schools Slate Millage Vote WALLED LAKE — A request for the renewal of 7 mllUt will be placed on the ballot in a special election in October, the board of education has decided. The millage, amounting to $700,000, was approved by voters five years ago for operational purposes and is due to expire this year. Renewal of the 7 mills will only serve to maintain the present level of opera* tion, Dr. George G. Garver, schools superintendent said today. He indicated that additional millage will have to be requested at a later date in order to pay for a new high school planned for completion in 1969. He did not specify when such an election would be held. The district now levies 20.20 milk School officials see an operating deficit unless $70,000 can be trimmed from the district’s $5-million tentative budget. While the tentative budget c&ntains salary increases for teachers, Dr. Garver says he is committed to keeping the school district operating within its means. Teacher contract talks are still on with salary not yet having been decided. FIRE HALL ADDITION—This 20-by-40-foot addition fo Commerce Township Fire Station No. 2 is being built entirely by the volunteer firemen. When completed sometime in the fall, the addition will house a new, tanker, which the volunteers purchased and rebuilt themselves. White Lake Expected to OK New Zoning Code and Mop Instead of the traditional school day of SS-minute classes, the day is divided into “modules” or periods of 15 minutes each. No class meets for less than two ' modules. A student’s time may be divided into several types of activities: small-group instruction, large-group instruction, independent study, laboratory activity, and for some students, supervised study. The flexible schedule, said Beqhard, allows a student to enroll in more classes than before and permits him to explore subjects in his interest area as well as in his required subject area. ★ ★ ^* Under the plan, an average of 47 per cent of the students time is unscheduled — and this is where the problem of p lack of control, as charged by the opposition, seems to come in. ‘SCHQOL-RELATED’ Ideally, the student is supposed to use this time for a school-related activity, but apparently it’s how one preceives a “school-related activity” that causes problems. Socialization, Bechard feels, is also a part of school, and this the students get if they chose to spend their free time in the student lounge. There are also those students who use their free time to get in some extra lab work or seek individual help from a particular teacher. Some parents claimed students were “running wild” in die school. At the insistence of those who see this free time as “chaos rather than freedom,” the unscheduled time will be tightened up for next year. MANDATORY ATTENDANCE There will also be mandatory attendance next year which has not been the case for the past two years except for about 200 students. If a student missed three classes, though, a card was sent home to his parents. A survey taken recently among parents, teachers and students showed that most of them felt the students like their teachers, that the system provides adequate time for teachers to give extra help to students, that the student can get ‘J adequate help from teachers if he requests it, that the system is helping students develop a greater sense of responsibility and that the student does as well in his studies as he would in another school. This same study showed that all groups were evenly divided between agreeing, disagreeing and being unde- . cided on whether discipline was adequate. ★ * ★ Bechard said that studies have also shown that grades seem to bie improving and that the failure list last year improved over the previous year. PREPARED FOR COLLEGE In talking to freshmen counselors at various colleges. Troy counselors have been told that the students seem to be doing better in college — the are more prepared for college life. The students themselves, in a meeting during the Christmas holidays, said they felt the system had helped them both in adjusting to college life-and with their studies because they are familiar with a wider range of subjects. “I believe that the sudent should as-sumq the responsibility for. his own ed-r ucation and make decikonS much he will have to make when he goes out Into the world,” said Bechard “If he makes a bad decision now, it is not as crucial as it would be later.” ★ ★ * Francis Cappaert, assistant principal, Council Post Filled 'CLARKSTON — Harry Fahrner of 10 Robertson has been named to the Village Council. t .

Man In The Middle: Joseph Bechard Troy High Principal Caught on Hot Seat TROY — High School Principal Joseph Bechard finds himself in a rather precarious position these days. Three times in recent weeks an attempt has been made to fire him for what his opponents charge is a lack of control over students under the flexible scheduling program. Each time the attempt by the board of education to put him out of a job has failed by a 4-3 vote. He has, however, been placed on a one-year probation. The innovative program, which places upon the student the responsibility for liis own education, was widely acclaimed by all concerned when it was introduced into the school two years ago. However, considerable opposition developed since then with some parents claiming at school board meetings that they voted against a badly needed mill-age request with the hope of ridding the district of the “modular” system. Now, in spite of that fact that surveys still show a majority of' parents, teachers and students in favor of the system, Bechard appears to be standing alone with his neck on the chopping block. Even so, the tanned and casual former head football coach speaks enthusiastically of the program as he discusses the problems which have ensued in the past few weeks. He even hopes to make the probation period work positively for him. He said he feels it will aid him in working out problems with dissident teachers if they know his job is on the line. There have been numerous problems, not nuexpected, since the unique program started two years ago but that, says Bechard, “is a pretty predictable part of change.” TROUBLE BEGAN JUNE 4 He feels the problem today, the one which is causing all the unrest, is the way in which, people perceive the program. The current trouble began June 4, according to Bechard, when about 20 to 25 dissatisfied teachers met Secretly With the hoard of education and drew up a list of complaints. It' wasn’t until nine days later, he said, that he heard unofficially about the meeting. , At the June 13 board of education meeting two motions to fire him failed and he was then placed on probation for one year which happens to be the last year of his three-year contract. CHARGES LEVELED There were also charges that a mill-age defeat the day before was the result of dissatisfaction over the program and the way it was being run- AS a result of this millage defeat, the board plans a number of cuts in the school program including dropping interscholastic sports, art and vocal and instrumental music *’and not replacing a girls’ physical education teacher and a typing teacher. This will in fact create more unscheduled time, Bechard said, as the schedule is already made up for next year. ★ ★ ★ !■ “It would be a poor traditional program without these ajggs,” he said. ‘90 PCT. SUPPORT’ At a meeting last week, some 250 persons turned out, of which at least 90 per cent supported Bechard and the program, according to Assf. Principal Francis Cappaert. In spite of the apparent: support for the program at the meeting, the board turned down a $40,000 federal grant which would have financed further study and evaluation of the program. “Now we’ll have, to carry On an evaluation in a limited way, said Bechard, “but it’s going to hamper (us because none of us are. trained researchers.” * *i' * As a result of all the dissension, Bechard has agreed to make $ number of changes in the program, most of which, he claims, are not really changes at all as they have been in effect for two years. PROGRAM CRITICIZED The outside speaker program, known as Cluster A, has also drawn criticism. As a result all speakers must be approved a week ahead of time by the administration. Most of the controversy centered around a “hippie” speaker,‘a conscientious objector and one from the John Birch Society. Bechard points out that there were speakers on the Peace Corps, on religion, on taxes, on Moral Rearmament, and from the Army, Navy and Marine Corps, who were all noncontroversial but who did not receive publicity. * ★ ★ In spite of all the problems, the prfy» ^paLstillfeels the program is a major breakthrphgh in eaucation”
