The Detroit Lions will be having at the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, and the same idiots will be in the stands ready, as always, to vent their ignorance. It is their privilege, I suppose, since they pay for the right. Crowds have been like this since the Romans railed at the Christians for not putting up a better scrap against the four-legged lions. for one, was fully in sympathy with Joe Schmidt Sunday when he gave the upraised arm, bicep-clasping gesture of contempt after the game to the loud-mouths who earlier were carried away with delight when the Lions took a quick 14-0 lead over Green Bay. His crime was in not choosing to throw away a chance to take over the lead in Western Conference Central Division of the NFL.

He elected to hold on to the ball in the last minute of play and settled for a tie. Bill Munson, the quarterback who may one day inhale the incense that burned only for Bobby Layne, concurred in that decision. And Bill Ford, the guy who owns the Lions, will never forget a moment in 1962 when a same situation handled differently led to the decline and fall of a signal caller named Milt Plum.

Another $2,218,508, or 8.1 percent of the record campaign target, was added as the drive paid tribute to the nearly 200 United Foundation services supported by the annual fund-raising.

The drive will end Nov: 7. "This is what the Torch Drive is all about," said Gay-lord W. Gillis luncheon chairman and head of the UF's advance gifts committee. He is president of Edson Moore "Even a quick examination discloses that Torch Drive services fill virtually every health and social need of our people, Gillis added. "The primary product of the UF is living itself particularly happy, healthy livingfor all of us and especially for the afflicted and disadvantaged." PHILIP J.

Tinsey, an Oakland County community business team chairman, was cited for attaining 333 percent of goal. Tinsey is industrial gas sales consultant for Consumers Power Co. in Royal Oak. Robert E. Metz, head of the Oakland County community business campaign, reported $20,285, or 29 percent of quota.

Metz is president of Inter Lake Window Industries of Novi. The drive's six major chapter units reported these cumulative totals to date: automotive and suppliers, or 30.1 percent; major commerce, $1,884,036, or 37.4 percent, and general manufacturing, $856,115, or 41.7 percent. Other totals: professions, $337,702, or 35.6 percent; schools and government, or 26.5, and building and transportation, $400,318, or 34.2, Comedian Jerry Lester, now appearing in "This Was Burlesque" at the Fisher Theater, entertained at the luncheon, which was paid for by the S.

The agreement, subject to ratification, would increase the weekly wage guarantee for barbers to $120 from $85. It would also increase the price of haircuts and most other services 25 cents.

The price of shaves would go to $2.75 from $2. Barber's guild No. 4, which represents shop-owners will vote on the settlement next month. Foes of Tax-Free Bonds Outnumbered at Hearing Mayor Cavanagh staff was preparing letters from him to every policeman and fireman in Detroit, criticizing "misleading and distorted information circulated regarding Charter Amendment 9 A printer who published some of their campaign material turned out to be using a union symbol illegally. Members of the Detroit Firefighters Association who are mot under the police-fire pension plan began asking for withdrawal cards as the first dues increase was taken out of their pay checks.

CAVANAGH'S letter says: "Under Amendment after 25 years of sendee you would contribute nothing to your pension unlike your present system. This would, in effect, be a 5 percent pay raise." The letter reminds the men that they have the option of slaying under the old plan or joining the new one. "Passage of Amendment A will legalize the practice of computing your (initial) pension on the basis of salary earned in your last year of service," the letter says. THIS PRACTICE, followed since 1942, has been challenged by City Controller Bernard Klein, who maintains that the city cnarter requires that a man's last five years be averaged out in determining a pension. The mayor's office, which plans to mail the letters Monday, had attempted to keep them secret until that time.

A CONTROVERSY over the use of a union symbol or "bug" arose when the Allied Printing Trades Council charged that it was "deliberately smudged on some campaign material so that it looked like the material was printed in a union shop." Curt Bumbalough, Council secretary, said Friday that his investigation had nvinced him that "the campaigners were misled by the printer." He said "the printer lied to them and they didn't know that his was not a shop." Robert Tighe, secretary to the Fire Commission, said his office had received "a number" of requests for cards allowing members of the firemen's union to withdraw. He said that some of members are not under the pension plan and others are upset because of the manner in which the dues were raised. To meet bookkeeping deadlines, the union requested an increase in dues withheld from paychecks a full month before the membership voted on the issue. This week the membership of the Detroit Firefighters Association overwhelmingly approved the extra $5 per paycheck dues withdrawal. Saturday, October Union Galls UAWLocal 'Unf air' BY RALPH ORR Free Press Staff Writer One of the area's smaller local unions has charged the largest local of the United Auto Workers with unfair labor practices in a dispute over a new contract.

The David-and-Goliath confrontation pits the Office Employes Local 42 (AFL-CIO) against the Local 600, UAW. The office workers also accused Local 600 of subcontracting office work to non-union firms: Local 42 represents 19 office and custodial employes working in Local 600's Dear born office. Seventy-five nt of Local 42's members are women. Local 42 has charged Local 600 with bad-faith bargaining and with subcontracting office work without notice to Local 42. The National Labor Relations Board, after reviewing Local 42's charges, issued a formal complaint against Local 600.

A hearing on the charges is expected to conclude Tuesday. MRS. MABEL Holleran, Local 42 president, testified Friday that the UAW local has refused to sign a new agreement negotiated May 14 and ratified May 17 by the 19 members. "They also farmed out data processing work to private firms, then laid off six of our she said. "They farmed out the work to scab firms." The NLRB complaint termed the Local 600 bargaining approach "unilateral." But Walter Dorosh, Local 600 president, said contract negotiations were never completed.

"We haven't signed because there were some provisions that hadn't been cleared up when Local 43 ratified it," he said. Dorosh said he would "gladly" subcontract the office work to a union firm if Mrs. Holleran could find one. "Mrs. Holleran ought to or ganize those data-processing places, he said.

Van Antwerp, in a six-page report he filed with Common Council Friday, said: "There is no doubt that directives set down by the mayor will result in denying qualified white applicants to the force. This to me is discrimination." He a i he is "contemplating making a request for an investigation by the Michigan Commission on Civil Rights.

Mayor Cavanagh said he ha no intention of commenting on the charges. Van Antwerp's report was based on memos, directives and complaints given to him by "many police officers," the councilman said. "BUT WHEN you ask them if they will either testify for a committee or council their immediate reaction is 'No, I am fearful for the future of my position on the police he said. His report quotes a letter alleged to have been sent from Cavanagh to Police Commissioner Johannes Spreen Aug. 9, ordering four Negro recruits to every white until the police force reaches its authorized strength.

Van Antwerp said the cancellation of oral interviews was a step toward lowering police standards. "It becomes clear to me that the mayor was not able to achieve his arbitrary objective, so he lowered the recruiting standards," Van Antwerp said. "I FEEL that we must increase the proportion of Negroes on the force for the good of" all," Van Antwerp said. "But I feel just as strongly that we should do this without lowering the standards." K. Schoch, who is directing the project.

Some volunteers will be put on a placebo, a sugar pill or some other harmless substance that will have no effect. This is so that any psychological effect of taking pills can be measured and subtracted from the results of the drugs.

Bond, who is up for re-elec tion this year, gained national attention in 1966 when the Georgia House of Representatives refused to seat him because he denounced U.S. participation in the Vietnam War. He later was seated on a decision of the U.S.

During his press conference at Tindal headquarters, 7467 Grand River, Bond strayed from politics long enough to lambaste the American Olympics Committee for censuring black athletes who gave black power salutes during the Olympic Games in Mexico, "Athletes are treated like muscular, stupid kids, and now these athletes have showed that this is not the case," Bond said. AP Photos BY DAVID COOPER Free Press City-County Bureau Chief Supporters of a proposed $30 million tax-free bond issue for the Peerless Cement Co. far outnumbered opponents Friday at a hearing before Detroit's Common Council. But councilmen remained skeptical.

Council President Ed Carey said after the hearing that councilmen might vote Tuesday on the proposal. He predicted it would be defeated. Supporters of the bond plan, which is being pushed by Mayor Cavanagh's administration, argued it was needed to keep industry in Detroit, and to prevent the city from appearing not to want industry. Opponents argued that it would be bad public policy, amount to a subsidy and special privilege for one company, and give an unfair competitive advantage to Peerless over other cement companies. The Peerless proposal, if passed, would mark Detroit's entry into the controversial field of tax-free municipal bonds to aid industry.

J. W. Irmscher, acting general manager of Peerless, a division of American Cement at 8914 W. Jefferson, said the firm would make no immediate decision on whether to remain in Detroit if councilmen turned i down the bonds. Julian Bond didates for the two council seats in the Nov.

Volunteers Are Sought To Test Heart Drugs Julian Bond Lambastes Wallace, Nixon BY SUSAN HOLMES -Free Press Staff Writer Georgia Negro legislator Julian Bond gave a brief endorsement of Detroit Common Council aspirant Robert Tin-dal Friday night and then launched a caustic attack against Richard Nixon and George Wallace'.

Some 500 persons, who paid $25 a plate for the testimonial dinner at Cobo Hall, heard Bond classify Wallace as a "Hillbilly Hitler" and claim that if Nixon was elected there would be "riots from poor whites and disenfranchised people" all over the country. His brief endorsement of Tindal, a Negro, followed a strong endorsement for the council hopeful from Mayor Cavanagh. Tindal is one of four can- Bond predicted earlier Fri-voters in the country will support the Democratic presidential ticket. Bond said a few black votes may be cast for Nixon or third party candidate Wallace. But, he added, they will come from those "who don't know what they are doing, just like there were a few black votes for Gov.

Lester Maddox by people who made mistakes when they voted." Bond said he came to Detroit at the invitation of U.S. Rep. John Conyers who told him Tindal was "a good candidate, the kind of man who should be supported."

The drugs include female sex hormones and a vitamin.

The hospitals need about 50 male volunteers who have suffered one heart attack to round out a total of 200 who will be put on various drugs for five years. The research is part of the National Coronary Drug Project in which four drugs will be evaluated in 8,500 patients nationwide. "This is the most ambitious field study testing the effectiveness of drugs in coronary heart disease in the history of this country," said Dr. Henry.
