(MSC Rap MSC, UM for Barring Newsmen EAST LANSING Two of the nation's largest educational institutions, Michigan State college and the University of Michigan, loomed today as targets of the new-born state "freedom of information" committee. Both institutions-were singled out by members of the Michigan Press association over the weekend for criticism of their traditional policy barring newsmen from their board meetings. The institutions were challenged as the MPA created a state committee to join with national groups in an attack on news barriers. Fred Gaertner managing editor of the Detroit News, said the board of Regents of the University and the State board of Agriculture, governing body of MSC, were the outstanding examples of official press barriers in Michigan. Don Schram, state editor of the Detroit Free Press, reported a survey showed that "there is very little secrecy" in Michigan local government "except as tolerated by the newspapers."

Williams Is Only Governor to Ask for New Taxes CHICAGO Michigan was the only state in the union in which the governor asked for new taxation this year, according to the federation of tax administrators.

At least five states anticipate general fund surpluses, and the governor of a tax cut, the federation reported. It is the first time since the end of World war II that any state anticipated revenue collections would top expenditures, it said. The federation based its report on gubernatorial messages to the 18 state legislatures meeting this year. The five states expecting surpluses were identified as Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland and Mississippi. Goy.

G. Mennen Williams of Michigan asked his legislature to enact a corporation profits tax as a budget balancing measure. He predicted a $53,000,000 deficit by the end of the fiscal year on the basis of current revenue.
