A few seconds later, he bent over and came up with a happy grin and a second four-leaf clover.

That's just about the way Austin thinks his campaign for mayor of Detroit is going: Good and getting better. "I cant help feeling encouraged," he tali as he shook hands through a day that started at a run-down Primitive Baptist church on the East Side and ended with champagne on a spacious Boston Blvd. lawn. At Chandler Park, he stopped at the Brewster Old Timers annual picnic and chatted with friends of 30 years.

Could be some fun since The Who are busy working on their film about their rock-opera Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie" was originally released last September but nothing happened. Then it was released in Europe and became big. Now it's a big record here at home for the boy. Dave Mason, once in Traffic with Stevie Winwood now performing with Delaney and Bonnie.

Peace. Old Timers are middle-aged Mack men, solid I working men Who used to play ball together i years ago in what was once known as Detroit's 1 Black Bottom. Several hundred of them had I come from as far away as Cleveland and Chicago for their yearly reunion, and Dick Austin was one of theirs. "He wasn't playing ball much back then," 1 recalled Bill Hines, who wore a blue Optimists Club baseball cap. "He was shining shoes over at Parker Brothers Shoe Store." An elderly man with glasses and a straw hat came over and grabbed Austin's hand.

"Well, hello," beamed Austin "I used to Michigan Politics Side Polish neighborhood, said the husband, who has worked at Cadillac for 23 years. But, they will do It by selling their friends on white candidates endorsed by the UAW, hoping the friends will then vote a straight UAW ticket Including Austin. "We're good union people," said the wife. At Watt's Mozambique Club, a black night-club on Fenkell, Austin made one of his few speeches of the day to about 100 young members of an Investment club. In the dimly lit bar where paintings of ebony nudes hung on the walls, Austin stood on a bandstand and talked about how the nation had to spend less on war in Vietnam and more on the cities ait home.

There was scattered, polite applause from the couples who aipped drink3 at tiny round tables. They seemed to listen more eagerly when Austin said a black man could be elected mayor of Detroit. Then Austin was back In the Plymouth, being driven to a block olub party on Melbourne between John and Brush. Standing in the middle of a street lined by neat, freshly painted old homes with putting green yards, Austin said he would work to make sure "our streets are safe from thugs." "But in the process, we want to be sure our laws are equally applied We are going to insist they be enforced properly, forecefully and that we have a clean city." The people who sat In the 200 folding chairs along the curb, and the people who, sat on their porches nodded and clapped. As evening came and an occasional drop of rain fell, Austin mingled with guests on the back lawn of a stately Boston Blvd.

home. Slender, long-legged women In flowered pants suits and men in Edwardian attire sat under umbrellas and drank champagne or cold duck that flowed from a portable fountain. As the sun set, candles glimmered around the lawn. And Austin moved among the guests, assured, happy and still, as at the Brewster Old Timers picnic and the UAW picnic and the Club Mozambique and the block olub party, among friends.

Nobody knew what to expect other than Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Stevie Winwood, three gods of music had joined up with Rick Greek to produce aome sounds.

Detroit found out that Blind Faith, although a good band, is nothing really special. There was very little reaction from the crowd until Ginger Baker went into a drum solo, but that was near the end of the program. The final song, a grand finale with all the other acts on stage except The Frost was Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love." It was good because there was happiness on stage. Everybody was having a good time. Possibly that's what Blind Faith lacks.

What happened to Delaney and Bonnie and Friends was nothing short of a tragedy. The sound system completely shattered any chance they had to present their fantastic talent to Detroit. They couldn't be heard, except for a large mass of noise. I was fortunate enough to hear Delaney and Bonnie backstage just Jamming and, believe me, the sound man employed by Blind Faith Friday night stole a great evening from the audience. I didn't get a chance to see The Taste so any kind of comment would be urifaip.

The Frost were very good and probably gave the best performance of the night except for certain spots of the Blind Faith set. However, the fellow who did the sound work for the evening shouldn't present a bill to the promoters. He did a rotten job. THE BEE GEES have post-poned their tour of the U.S. and Canada in order to devote an entire month to the filming of "Cucumber Castle," described as a full-length comedy geared for television.

The tour was origianlly scheduled for the end of August. The group, now to be here in Sep-tember, had a new single released last Friday called "Don't Forget To Remember."

When the candidate moved on, Thomas Barrow, who Is 62 and will soon get his 33-year gold watch from Ford Motor said "He's a good man, a soft talker. If he gets in, he's going to get those hoodlums off the street." A young man with a little boy perched on his arm nodded in agreement. In the car, speeding along the Ford Freeway to the UAW picnic, Austin turned around in his seat and said: "These people want to be safe in the streets and secure In their homes.

But, they get nervous when they hear the words law and order. Many of them came from the South where that means something else keeping the Negro In his place." At the UAW picnic, again among friends, this time mostly white, Austin shook more hands In his reserved, almost shy manner. A white auto worker and his wife sat in the shade in folding lawn chairs and watched.

Finest Sea Food and Liquors. TECHNICOLOR-A PAHAMOUHr PICTURE I ATTORNEY GENERAL John Mitchell and Sen. McClellan of Arkansas sat facing each other about five feet apart across a green baize table in the Capitol, in the i ornate Senate Appropriations Committee room, muraled to within an inch of its life with an Italianate collage of allegorical nymphs, fawns, graces and what-not (in- 1 eluding one of Leda grabbing the swan, i which is not the way I heard the story). Better than anybody else in Washington, Mitchell expresses what's wrong with the Nixon administration. I 'Stern, dour, stony-faced, frosty-eyed Mitchell listened unsmiling to Sen.

McClellan extoll him for what he's doing for law and order. From a southern segregationist like McClellan I the record is vastly impressive. Mitchell handled Mr. Nixon's 1968 campaign, 1 with its code-word hints to the South and he pulled it off, too, but with the smallest percentage in recent history, by capturing six bor- der and southern states. Once elected, a lot of northern columnists though Mr, Nixon would seek to broaden his base of support and re form and go straight.

It hasn't worked out that way. The attorney general probably has more influence with the President on domestic matters than any other general advisor in Washington. It was he who cooked up the proposed relaxation of federal guidelines for school desegregation. Again, dt was Mitchell who asked Congress to scrap the successful 1965 Voting Rights Act. He offered a shiny new model that might or might not work.

Even House Republicans scoffed at the idea. It is not even certain that the attorney general was serious himself or whether it was a political ploy to the South. The most appalling of all the proposals Is for "preventive detention," that is, the right to throw a man into jail for 60 days where there is "substantial probability" of serious The theory is that a man out on bail might commit crimes. Let Sam Ervin, a southern conservative senator who criticized the Warren court, speak on this Mitchell proposal. Preventive detention, he told the Senate, "is unconstitutional and smacks of the police state." pius-nHEVl0LENT4" FAMOUS PRIZE BLUE RIBBON 1-LB.

9. PARK FREE NEXT DOOR ACADEMY AWARD i CIUNGAN'S SHRIMP HOUSE implications facing Kennedy as a result of the death of the young woman and his mysterious failure' to report the fatal auto accident for many hours. This last consideration dominated the week-long deliberations of the Sorensen-Goodwln group. When dt was finally decided, with the approval of the local district attorney, an old friend of Teddy, that he would appear in court on Martha's Vineyard and plead guilty to leaving the scene of the accident, it was Goodwin who conceived the idea of following that' up with a televised broadcast. In the discussion that followed, this proposal was enlarged to include a "public demonstration of confidence," that is, some form of dramatic response to Kennedy's spiel.

Again it was Goodwin who suggested the stratagem of having this public manifestation center on whether Kennedy should resign his Senate seat. As he characteristically remarked, "That'll get them. That's got sex appeal." The real purpose of this "poll" is to build up support for Kennedy's re-election next year. That's the primary concern of him and his devotees. He never had any intention of resigning.

At no time was it seriously discussed by him or his Inner clique. BY KOBERT S. ALLEN AND JOHN A. GOLDSMITH "WASHINGTON The voice was Sen.

Robert Kennedy. 'Within a few hours after the disclosure of involvement In the drowning of a young Washington secretary, Sorensen and Goodwin had rushed to his home at Hyannis Port, to advise and guide him. They had come without being summoned, as did former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara and a half-dozen other dedicated Kennedyites. It was on the emphatic instruction of these inner devotees that Kennedy maintained tight- lipped silence about the tragic affair for nearly a week. His own instincts were to talk, and newsmen were told a press conference would be held the following day.

But the Sorensen-Goodwln clique peremptorily barred it on two grounds: First, get public reaction to the curious affair; second, to obtain the views of attorneys and friendly local officials on possible legal WINNER!
