home. Mason Discusses Population Concluded from Page B-1 there already is a trend among young couples towards the two family. "It does not look as though it is going to take too much encouragement from government. We'll just have to reinforce what is happening. Of course we don't know going to be a long-lasting already, trend," he continued.

"IF IT is we still won't reach the zero population growth plateau for 20 to 30 years even if all the kids up now limit their families to two children." While the council feels "ZPG" is a desirable goal for Michigan, Mason said the problem is not so much a need fo limit population, but to stop concentrating so many people in some areas. "We need to locate growth centers in other parts the state and encourage industry to go there." To do this may require Sheriff, Deputies to Pay $410,000 changes in the tax system to lure new industries away from areas where there are already too many people. POPULATION DISPERSAL will be strongly influenced by state and local zoning and land use laws, but Mason doubts Michigan will need a program in the foreseeable future to regulate the migration of people from one area to another. "But we have got to plan for growth. We just can't allow it to happen," he observed.

Continuation of present trends means existing problems will continue to get worse and worse. MASON SEES, for example, "a crisis already upon us in handling of solid wastes. "We have mechanisms in place to do the job to clean up our air and water. But we have not faced up to solid waste disposal problems and to the fact that they will require area wide solutions," he observed. City Attorney Helps Brothers Win DETROIT Lansing attorney Leo Farhat represented two Port Huron brothers who won a $410,000 damage suit against a sheriff and five of his deputies.

St. Clair County Sheriff Norman D. Meharg and his deputies said they would appeal a federal district judge's order to pay $410,000 damages to the brothers. Eldon and Richard Darling claimed the officers conspired to deprive them of their civil and constitutional rights. They sued for $1 million.

THE RULING came Wednesday from Federal District Court Judge Robert DeMascio of Detroit and a 12-member jury which deliberated more than three hours. The trial lasted six weeks. The suit, filed in March 1970, alleged that the sheriff and deputies beat the brothers and that Richard Darling suffered a temporary loss of vision in one eye and permanent eye damage. The suit stemmed from an incident in June 1969 in which the Darling brothers were arrested at a Port Huron area establishment on charges of drunk and disorderly and resisting arrest. Those charges were subsequently dismissed in district court on grounds of "improper arrest" and "reasonable doubt." The sheriff and deputies, insured for only about $15,000 each, said they would appeal the decision to a Federal Appeals Court in Cincinnati, Ohio.

WHEN CONTACTED Thursday, Farhat emphasized that being awarded a settlement of that size doesn't necessarily mean the clients will collect that much money. "There's insurance considerations and other factors," said Far arhat, a former Ingham County prosecutor. Farhat declined to say what his fee would be in the case, saying that was a confidential matter between the clients and himself. Another attorney, not connected with the case, said that as a general rule cases against police officers and government units are very difficult to handle and win. "So difficult, in fact, that the attorneys generally demand-and get--about per cent of the actual settlement," the attorney said.

Drive carefully over the weekend to make this a happy new year and not a time of tragedy from a traffic accident, Gov.

Milliken cautioned Michigan motorists Thursday. "I urge all Michigan motorists to recognize the tragic relationship between alcohol abuse and traffic deaths," the governor said. "FOR FAR too many citizens," the governor said, "the new year will be marred by a traffic accident. It is a tragic fact that 25 persons died on Michigan roads over the Christmas holiday period." A late count, the governor said, showed that 2,217 persons have died on Michigan highways so far this year--already a three per cent increase over all of 1971. "I want to emphasize that in the past the New Year's period has been characterized by a large number of accidents involving alcohol, and that we have experienced an increase in alcohol-related accidents among all age groups in Michigan this year," Milliken said.

MICHIGAN LAW providing for the arrest and jailing of drunk drivers has been strengthened, Milliken said. "However, death or injury sometimes catch up with drinking drivers before the law Milliken said, "and worse, their violations often involve innocent people as victims in their mishaps."
