The Mariner device, smaller than a pint bottle and weighting less than two pounds, will be ejected from DE i. i i micro-organisms into an incubation chamber. A nutrient or broth will then be poured into the chamber. The broth will consist of a variety of chemical compounds, one of which it is hoped Martian organisms would eat. INCLUDED IN the compounds will be Carbon 14, a radioactive variety of normal carbon, a basic building block of life on earth and presumably on Mars.

If they consume broth and reproduce, the organisms will give off carbon dioxide containing the radioactive carbon.

THE LIFE-SEEKING device is a small business success story. The concept was suggested in an unsolicited from Resources Research, a small Washington. D. research firm with 40 employes. The firm received 5300,000 to develop the device.

A few weeks ago the firm was told the device was to be included in the Mariner B. payload. Comity To Collect City Tax BY DON SCHRAM i Free Press luff Writer The Wayne County Board of Auditors voted unanimously Tuesday to withhold the City income tax from the paychecks of County employees. In so doing, it overrode an opinion by Aloysius J. Suchy, chief civil counsel for the Prosecutor's office, that the County lacked power to withhold the tax as an employer.

Suchy ruled last Friday that County tax money could not be used legally to collect a tax for the benefit of a single municipality. "We will ask the City to defend us if we get into any lawsuits over this," said Jacob Sumeracld, chairman of the Auditors. "There's a suit pending already, and it won't take long for the court to decide. The cost of withholding is negligible." The County was prepared to withhold the tax from the next checks payable to County employes July 15. Stanley director of aduiting and accounting for the Board, estimated the cost at $1,100 or $1,200.

THE DECISION of the auditors has no bearing on two suits pending in Circuit Court and scheduled for early hearings. One challenges the right of the City to tax any County employe's income. The other seeks to determine the right of the City to require any emplyoer to withhold the tax from anyone's paycheck without individual authorization. On the deductive question, the auditors said: "It has always been the policy cf the Board of County Auditors to co-operate with the several municipalities within the County and to provide services for carrying out efficiently those policies and measures which are for the best interest and welfare of each municipality and its citizens." The statement also pointed out that Federal and State agencies and private corpora-Turn to Page 2 Column 1 Never Too Late INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

Nothing Fishy About Duel Alas There's BY HARVEY TAYLOR Prf Press Staff Wrlltr Two dedicated public servants Councilmen Mary Beck and Anthony J. Wierzbicki battled with fishing poles to a scoreless and pointless tie Tuesday afternoon. Cynics who might at first blush charge the two with angling for publicity don't know the contestants. Shy and Introverted, Miss Beck Is frightened of cameras and 1 known tpr the abhorence she has of any mention in the public prints. Accustomed to the more serene atmosphere of the controller's office, Wierzbicki is relatively new to the hullabaloo of public life.

But both were "good sports," as they say in outdoor slang. THE CONTEST was ar rn JV Saskatchewan doctors defied his new compulsory medical care plan. Meanwhile, two persona died at Regina General Hospital after being rushed more than 100 miles by air ambulance for medical attention. Dr. A.

C. Pickles, medical director at the hospital, said it was "pure speculation' whether the deaths could be attributed in any way the victims not being able to get medical aid elsewhere because of the strike. The victims were Mark Lone child, a five-month-old Indian pneumonia victim, and Mrs. Maria Ferrara, 68, who died of a heart attack. A nine-month-old boy died the day the strike went into effect as his parents desperately sought medical aid in a 90-mile automobile ride.

Dr. H. D. Dalgleish, president of the Council of the Saskatchewan College of Thysiclans and Surgeons, turned thumb down Tuesday on a plea from Lloyd that the doctors submit their dispute to an impartial mediator. He is the chief spokesman for doctors fighting the plan.

"The plan should be withdrawn because of the proficient determination not to practice after the plan (went into effect) and the serious consequence to the public which will follow," he said in a letter to Lloyd. The doctors' statement was one of several moves underway Tuesday aimed at forcing Lloyd to abandon his medical insurance plan which went into effect three days ago and triggered the strike. TWO PHYSICIANS moved in court to have the plan ruled illegal and angry citizens worked on plans to march on the capi-tol to protest the program. Dondla B. Tansley, chairman of the Government Medical Care Commission, reported what might be the first sign of a break in the doctor's united front.

The 'third reading on the tax, which will levy a one per cent income fee on all Dearborn residents and on all persons working In Dearborn, probably will come at the next regular council meeting, July 17.

Three readings are required before a vote is taken. The proposal was introduced for Hubbard by council president pro-tern George Hart. Hubbard told the council that even If it acted immediately to make the tax proposal law, it would take the city at least six weeks to start collecting the tax. WITHHOLDING forms for employers to pass out to employes are being printed now, Hubbard said, and will be distributed to all major employers in the city early next week. Dearborn's largest industry, the Ford Motor will be the principal target of the tax.

The company has 54,000 workers at its Rouge Plant, its Central Office Building and other operations In Dearborn. "If we reach the Ford payroll," Hubbard said, "we shouldn't do too bad."

Ben Khedda Algeria's Freedom Proclaimed Free Press Wire Services ALGIERS France proclaimed Algeria an independent nation Tuesday amid wild rejoicing that saw crowds of Moslems surge through the streets cheering, singing and dancing the twist. Na-tionalist Premier Ben Yous-seff Ben Khedda returned to Algiers a few hours after independence in a race to forestall a left-wing guerilla insurrection.

By dusk the popular acclaim appeared to have made him master of Algiers. The former guerilla fighter asserted his leadership of the new-born nation and defied what he called the "military dictatorship" ambitions of dissident Deputy Premier Ahmed Ben Bella, who flew to Cairo to confer with United Arab Republic President Gamal Ab-del Nasser. Nasser has appealed to both groups to settle their differences, but according to the Middle East News Agency, no progress has been made. PRESIDENT Charles de Gaulle himself announced the birth of a new nation after 132 years of French rule in a proclamation declaring: "The president of the French Republic solemnly recognizes the independence of Algeria."
