"Pardon me, but the entire thing stinks," Toepp, a sportscaster, said on the Senate floor. "It just doesn't seem to make sense when you look at the records." Sen.

James Gray, D-Warren, drew hisses, however, when he defended Ohio State and referred to Michigan's "unusual, and I repeat unusual, quality of being able to come back from behind." For his part, Smith and Michigan State pleaded not guilty. An MSU spokesman said he was sure Smith voted in the best interests of the conference, "for the team with the best chance to win the (Rose Bowl) game. Smith said he felt "no team dominated Michigan State the way Ohio State did." Smith acknowledged, however, he had not seen the game, nor read or heard much about it before casting his vote Sunday morning. "From the opinion we got from people who watched the game, it was Ohio State in the first half and Michigan in the second." But in the uproar, at least two dissenting voices were heard. The discussion, said Sen.

Jack Faxon, D-Detroit, "promoted so much heated discussion that we do not need another fuel source for the state of Michigan." And Sen. Basil Brown, another Detroit Democrat, said: "Industry, businesses and schools will be closing down, and I don't see any major concern about who's going to the Tournament of Roses." LANSING, Mich. (AP) Despite the press of unfinished legislative business, Michigan's lawmakers found time Monday to roundly condemn the Big Ten's athletic directors for voting to send Ohio State, and not Michigan, to the Rose Bowl. The legislators blasted the 6-4 decision in light of what they considered Michigan's domination of the 10-10 tie game, but they saved their real barbs for Michigan State Athletic Director Burt Smith. Smith, a Michigan alumnus, was widely believed to have voted for Ohio State, and suddenly MSU's standing before the legislature dropped dramatically.

"If it is found, in fact, that Michigan State, and it is assumed they did, voted against Michigan going to the Rose Bowl, then it seems a spinoff of that as indicated by some of my colleagues increases the chances of Western Michigan (and not Michigan State) getting the new law school," proclaimed Rep. Loren Anderson, R-Waterford. Other lawmakers said the appropriations committee ought to scrutinize MSU's budget request a little closer next time around. Sen. John Toepp, R-Cadillac, and Rep.

Hal Ziegler, R-Jackson, co-authored a letter to Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke demanding an explanation of the athletic director's directors' vote. Among other things, they wanted to know if the vote would be made public, if the athletic directors had a chance to view game films and statistics, and if the injury to quarterback Dennis Franklin of Michigan affected the vote. DISBELIEF SHARED: Dennis Franklin, U-M quarterback who suffered broken right collarbone late in Saturday's football game with Ohio State University, listens in disbelief to news that Big Ten Athletic Directors picked OSU over Michigan for spot in Rose Bowl. Also expressing disbelief was Michigan legislature Monday. Lawmakers blasted athletic directors for OSU vote.

Main target was Burt Smith, Wolverine graduate and MSU athletic director, who reportedly voted against his Alma Mater. (AP Wirephoto) EOT!

Following a subsequent investigation by Benton Harbor police, Buchanan police, sheriff's officers, and the FBI, a man was arrested yesterday. The investigation stems from an Odt. 29 robbery at the ICB branch in Buchanan, where a man, reportedly unarmed, stole nearly $7,000 in mid-afternoon and made his getaway in a taxi.

He allegedly gave a note to a teller which said: "Give me all your money and you won't get hurt."

Vaughan, who was Truman's top White House military adviser, said that Truman sent the letter to Marshall for Marshall's private files and to keep it out of the hands of Eisenhower's political opponents, Vaughan denied a published account that Truman had destroyed both Eisenhower's letter and Marshall's reply. Eisenhower, who at the time was World War II supreme allied commander, reportedly informed Marshall that he was considering divorcing Mamie to marry Kay Summersby, a British woman assigned to drive him around London during the war. "Gen. Eisenhower asked Gen. Marshall if he thought a divorce would hurt his military career," said Vaughan Monday in an interview.

"Marshall told him it certainly would, and would be a very stupid thing to do." Marshall at the time was Army chief of staff. He later became secretary of state. According to Vaughan, the Eisenhower-Marshall letters wound up in Pentagon files. Marshall died in 1959. Vaughan said when Eisenhower was running for the presidency in 1952, rumors of the letters leaked out.

Michigan's $500 bonus would be the third highest of the 13 states which have adopted similar programs, he said. Pennsylvania, for instance, pays $750 but only to combat veterans and North Dakota pays $17.50 a month indefinitely but only to persons who entered the service after 1963. On other bills sent to the House, the Senate: Voted 29-1 to exempt from property taxes any breakwaters, jetties or other devices constructed to combat erosion along the Great Lakes or tributary waters; -Voted 28-1 for a bill to increase from $4 to $5 the price per column inch the price newspapers can charge for printing delinquent tax rolls.

In a suit filed against Dr. Rose McClanahan in Kanawha Circuit Court on Monday, Mrs. Angela Fields claimed: Mrs. Fields went to Dr. McClanahan in January, 1972 after missing a menstrual period.

Following examination and laboratory tests, Dr. McClanahan confirmed the pregnancy. During the presumed pregnancy, Dr. McClanahan told Mrs. Fields she could detect a heart beat and that the baby would be a girl.

In July, 1972, Mrs. Fields was admitted to General Hospital here for rays and was advised by Dr. McClanahan that cesarean birth might be necessary. Mrs. Fields was taken to the hospital's labor room Aug.

7, 1972, and remained there all night. She was released the following morning and readmitted for a period of three days. Dr. McClanahan told her on Aug. 10 that the baby had died.

Mrs. Fields then consulted a second doctor and was advised that she had never been pregnant. it I 1 I mmmmmmmm LANSING, Mich. (AP) A ballot proposal to give Michigan Vietnam-era veterans maxi.num $500 bonus but no money for education is in the House after winning overwhelming Senate passage. The Senate voted 31-0 Monday night for the bill that would ask voters next November to approve $185 million in general obligation bonds for some 422,849 Vietnam-era veterans from Michigan.

Veterans of combat zones those holding the Vietnam Medal or Expeditionary Service Medal would be eligible for a $500 bonus. Those without combat zone assignments would get a maximum $360. The Vietnam era for Michigan began Jan. 1, 1961, when the state's first combat fatality was reported, and ended Aug. 15, 1973, with the end of the bombing in Southeast Asia, said Sen.

Harry DeMaso, R-Battle Creek, the bill's sponsor. A similar measure on last November's ballot was crushed decisively by voters. Objections apparently centered around an additional $81 million tacked on to provide Vietnam veterans with $500 a year for four yeas of college, DeMaso said. groups from the Korean War and World War II also opposed the education Mnlliken Asks For Energy Crisis Powers "Lakes Regional Commission, he said, he has asked the commission to develop "emergency proposals toward using its funds to help cushion the impact of the crisis on our northern economy, particularly in the areas of transportation.

Milliken's actions would mainly supplement federal action that has been and will be ordered.

Included among the emergency powers requested by Milliken in his message to the legislature was a provision for strict conservation measures, including curtailment or discontinuance of lighting for certain commercial, industrial or advertising purposes, as well as curtailment of hours for stores, gas stations and other businesses. "I also have asked for immediate passage of discretionary power to implement lower speed limits. By lowering the limits in Michigan to 50 miles an hour, we can save an estimated 250 million gallons a year," the governor said. Milliken also outlined longrange proposals for the legislature to consider and requests to the federal government from adopting tax incentives to releasing funds to buy more buses.

(AP) Gov. William Milliken is asking the Michigan4' legislature to give him a strong hand to deal with the energy crisis, including the power to shorten hours for stores, gas stations and other businesses. The governor appealed to the legislature Monday night to authorize him before its expected adjournment Dec. 14 "to declare, if necessary, a state of severe energy shortage." At the same time, Milliken appealed to Michigan residents to adopt a "statewide ethic of energy thrift." Among other items, he suggests, for Christmas, citizens should put only a "single-lighted star atop their indoor trees instead of a glittering swirl of lights." "Such an approach, I believe, symbolizes the true spirit of Christmas, as well as the spirit of sacrifice that must prevail today," Milliken said. In his message for broad new powers, Milliken did not say specifically what actions he would take when the nation's fuel.
