I don't want to embarrass myself. I always said the hitters would let me know when it was time to retire, and they did." The Tigers halted Friday night's game against the California Angels and announced Hiller's retirement to the crowd at Tiger Stadium. There was polite applause at first as Hiller stepped out of the dugout to wave to the fans. Then, as Hiller headed back through the tunnel toward the clubhouse, the fans began to realize the full impact of the announcement. They began chanting, "We See HILLER, Page 11A (similar to a union shop steward) since the beginning of the 1979 season.

Hiller, who encountered arm trouble last year and was put on the disabled list for the final month of the season, has been struggling to regain his pitching form this year. His statistics were not impressive, but they were certainly no worse than those of several other Detroit pitchers, and his announcement came as a surprise. Hiller had told general manager Jim Campbell of his decision earlier, and he said Campbell tried to dissuade him. "It's just been a matter of going to the mound and not having anything," Hiller said.

After finishing his customary clubhouse card game with a half-dozen teammates, the 37-year-old relief pitcher called for a closed-door meeting at which he told his teammates he was quitting baseball because "I just don't think I can compete here anymore." Then he met with newsmen and explained he had been thinking about retirement "for about two weeks. "I wanted to get the team through the (threatened) strike situation, that's why I waited until now," said Hiller, who has been the Tigers' player representative Julian Dond John Hiller: "I just don't think I can compete here any more."

The president was expected to sign the measure. A five-working-day extension of the federal debt ceiling needed to enable the government to keep borrowing money to pay its bills was sent to the president late Friday by the Senate. The Senate approved the measure by a 47-10 vote.

A I looked at all the candidates running in both of the political parties and asked myself which one of these men had the best record on civil rights, on economic issues, on foreign affairs, and inescapably it was Sen. Kennedy.

It was just a natural conclusion. I'm just shocked and surprised that more people have not come to the same conclusion. If Kennedy doesn't get the nomination would you support Jimmy Carter? A I don't know. I didn't support him before the Democratic convention in 1976. Unless I can be shown some radical differences between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan I'm not sure if I'd be interested in supporting either one and I might instead want to concentrate on helping good people get elected and reelected to the United States Senate and the U.S.

House (of Representatives). If the choice is Reagan and Carter, what do you suggest black voters A I would probably suggest voting for1 President Carter as the real lesser of evils. Do you agree with some who say given that choice blacks should just stay at home and not vote at all? A No, I never believe that. Never. Never.

That's stupid and ignorant If you stay at home you register a complaint against yourself. In a pinch I would go out and campaign for President Carter. You have a national reputation. Why have you remained a Georgia legislator? A First, because I like being a legislator in Georgia and second because it's the only position I thought I could have. If I could be king of the world I'd be king of the world.

But, I can't be king of the world so I'm a Georgia legislator. At one time you said you were Interested In becoming a United States senator. Are you still interested? A Yes, but the chances of my being elected in Georgia are slim and none The people in Georgia, the last time they elected a senator, elected Herman Tal-madge. The difference between Herman Talmadge and myself is night and day and I don't think they're ready to make that big a shift. Recently, Miami was the scene of the worse riot since Detroit in 1967.

Do you think it was an indication of things to come this summer? A I would think that almost any big American city and a great many small American cities have the Miami potential. Whether or not it's going to happen I don't know. I hope it doesn't because the only people who are damaged in these affairs are black people. It is the neighborhoods we live in, the stores where we shop, the apartments where we live and the lives we have that are destroyed. They are very understandable to me but I certainly hope it doesn't happen.

In light of the shooting of Vernon Jordan Thursday morning, are you going to increase your own security? A No, I've never had bodyguards. I write my own speeches, carry my own baggage so I can pat my own self on the back. I've yet to meet the man who would come between a bullet meant for me. From UPI, AP and Free Press Staff WASHINGTON The government said Friday that it has reached agreement with most of 135 banks on a $5 billion Chrysler Corp. aid package.

Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Carswell said Chrysler will receive the funding OK in two weeks. "The target date to close (the deal) is Friday the 13th," Carswell said. Carswell told reporters that a small number of banks, representing about $20 million to $30 million of the deal, have not given their final consent. Sources said these banks which they declined to identify number fewer than 20 and are expected to come into agreement before the deadline. It is common for some parties to hold out in the hope of obtaining slightly better terms.

All parts of the package must be approved before any of the money can be loaned to Chrysler. ONLY $500 million of the package is in the form of federal-See CHRYSLER, Page11A announced several months ago that he would challenge Fitzsimmons for the presidency of the international union at the Teamsters' 1981 convention. Mailed ballots were counted by agents of the U.S. Labor Department who supervised all aspects of the voting. A Teamster spokesman said that there were approximately 120 challenged ballots but that they would not affect the outcome of the balloting.

The Labor Department had sued Local 299 in August 1978, asking the U.S. District Court to set aside the local's hotly contested 1977 election and direct that a new election be held under government supervision. The government charged that union funds and money contributed by employers had been used to promote the Lins slate in the 1977 vote. Local 299 leaders also discriminated against challengers who sought use of union membership lists, the government alleged.

WAYNE, Ind. Tests were conducted Friday on one of three rifles taken from a motorcyclist who was arrested, then released after being questioned in connection with the attempted assassination of civil-rights leader Vernon Jordan. John Douglas, 40, a white man, had been released late Thursday. He was charged with drunken driving. One of three rifles he was carrying was of the same caliber that used in the wounding of Jordan, 44, early Thursday.

Police said Douglas insisted that he had bought the weapons after Thursday's shooting from a man in a shopping center parking lot.
