Senator Brands Governor 'Spoiled Brat9 Gas Tax Bill Stuck, Fleming Says in Retort to Milliken THE STATE JOURNAL Sat, May 27, 1972 A-3 Law School Opposed By The Associated Press State Sen. James J. Fleming called Gov. Milliken a "spoiled brat" Friday and said a gasoline tax hike favored by tyie governor probably would not get out of a Senate committee. Fleming, chairman of the Senate Highway Committee, said he sees no possible compromise with Milliken on funding of mass transportation in Michigan.

"I AM amazed at the tack the governor has taken. If anything, it will harden my committee's position," Fleming said. Fleming, R-Jackson, was responding to criticism from Milliken, who accused him Thursday of obstructing passage of a two-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax hike, with one-half cent going to urban mass transit. The governor has made passage of that measure one of his top legislative priorities. Fleming said he personally opposes diversion of gasoline tax funds to mass transit.

"AS SOON as we raid highway funds," he said, "it's the end of good roads in Michigan." The bill passed the House, but awaits action in Fleming's committee. "I've probably saved the life of that bill by not taking a committee vote on it. There's no way it could get through committee," Fleming said. THE MAIN hangup is a "local option'' provision which several committee members want, he said. Such an option would let individual counties levy gasoline taxes if they wanted to rather than have an increase in the state tax.

Milliken has said he would veto any gas tax proposal that did not contain the mass transit fund. "In acting like a spoiled brat, the governor has hemmed himself into such a tight position that compromise does not now appear possible," Fleming said. "HE WILL not consider any proposals but his own and, re-gretably, has neglected the overwhelming sentiment of the people." Fleming said mail to senators is three-to-one against Milliken's proposal. Fleming said he doesn't consider Milliken's proposal any more important than other bills which come to the committee. "WE TAKE them all and consider them all.

We are working on a lot of things," he said. He accused Milliken of being "dictatorial" and of trying to "rubberstamp' the proposal through committee. If the Michigan Board of Education approves a proposal for the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, it will do so against the recommendation of a committee of scholars and law professors. Board members have delayed a decision until their June 14 meeting, pending further discussions of objections raised by the 10-member group.

STATE SUPREME Court Justice Thomas E. Brennan, one of the organizers of the school, had objected that the board was dragging its feet on the decision. Board members had agreed that proposed financing for the private law school needed further examination. The committee of scholars had said more financing was needed than $15,000 in credit on hand and an anticipated $1,500 from student tuition. Nminierons Awards Given At Police Graduations District, was presented, a plaque "in appreciation for her efforts in police training." Foster said she has long been an advocate of required training for police recruits.

Foster also said that Stephen Chubb, recruit of the East Lansing Police made the highest individual post test score 94 out of 100 ever to be achieved by any recruit in all 14 regional police academies. The Michigan Law Enforcement Training Council, Foster said, tests each recruit before his training called a "pretest" and after his training called a "post test." LT. GOV. James W. Brickley spoke to the recruit troopers in the Lansing National Guard Armory on Washington while Leslie Van Beveran, executive secretary of the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers Training Council, spoke in the National Guard Armory on Marshall St.

Friday was awards night for two police graduations.

Den-Houten, 30, and David J. Het-tings, 29. They were cited for their actions in pursuit of Johnnie William Croxton, the ex-convict who killed Rampy and Stark. Croxton was himself mortally wounded by gunfire from the pursuing officers when he ignored orders to halt and tried to escape from his car into a wooded roadside area. A departmental plaque was presented Dr.

John K. Altland, a director in the state department of social services, honoring him for 22 years of physician services to State Police recruit schools, and for other activities.

EVELYN SAID that she and her guest haven't talked much about politics, but they did talk practicing knowledgeable Christian. Religious instruction would be required of all students attending parochial schools in the Lansing Diocese next fall under a policy adopted by the Diocesan Board of Education. Final ratification by the Most Rev. Alexander Zaleski, bishop of Lansing, is required before the policy can become operational.

THE POLICY declares: "It shall be the purpose of the Catholic school to complement the role of the family in striving for the development of the 16,580 students currently enrolled in Catholic schools throughout the diocese, Blackburn said, and the non-Catholic enrollment is "nominal." Bill H. Conn, deputy superintendent of the Ingham-Eaton area parochial schools, said the new policy would probably not have great impact on the local schools next year. HE ADDED that the board's statement merely re-emphasized the role of the Catholic school and its religious education foundation. William Blackburn, general superintendent of education for the diocese, said the new policy represented the first written statement concerning required religious instruction for all students, including non-Catholics. IN THE past, he added, some diocesan schools required non-Catholic students to attend religion classes, while others permitted these students to attend study hall or some other activity instead.

There are approximately "The religion course, functioning as the nucleus of the curriculum, shall provide instruction in the Catholic doctrine and seek the acquisition and strenghtening of Christian attitudes, values and habits keeping with the principle, religious instruction shall be required of all students attending the schools of the Lansing Diocese as an integral part of their program," the policy statement Telephone callers who offer local residents a free vacation and ask for a $12.95 confirmation fee have no connection with the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Lansing.

So who needs bells? The Tato Bell sign at 565 E. Grand River, East Lansing (shown loaded on a truck) was taken down this week because of pressure from members of "Project City Hall" who protested the sign's ugliness. And it has been learned that any new Lansing fire trucks will not be equipped with bells because sirens do the alarming job much better.

Fire Chief Donald Burnett (left) said that 16 of the city's 20 trucks now have the gleaming chromed bells. 1.
