in i if if 1 '4 BY JOE FALLS Free Press Sports Editor CINCINNATI The Tigers got rid of Denny McLain Friday. They sent him to the Washington Senators in a stunning eight-player deal which upstaged the start of the 1970 World Series. Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announced the trade, revealing that he had lifted the suspension imposed upon McLain in September. Kuhn added that he had approved the deal only after McLain had undergone a "thorough three-day psychiatric examination." Tiger General Manager Jim Campbell, tense and nervous as Kuhn announced the trade, said: "We just couldn't bring Denny back into the Detroit atmosphere. All I can say is he is a very fine pitcher and 1 wish him well." Thus ended the final bizarre chapter 'of McLain in Detroit just two years after he had scaled the summit by winning 31 games for the Tigers and leading them to the world championship.

In exchange for the brilliant right-hander, the Tigers received: Shortstop Ed Brinkman, 29, a .262 hitter last season. Third baseman Aurelio Rodriquez, 22, who hit .249 with 19 home runs this year. Right-hander Joe Coleman, 23, who won eight and lost 12 games with a 3.58 earned-run average in 1970. Right-hander Jim Hannan, 30, who had nine victories and 11 losses with a 4.01 earned-run average last season. 1 he Tigers also gave up third baseman Don Wert, infielder-outfielder Elliott Maddox and.

right-hander Norm McRae. Is it safe for a person in his 40s who has always eaten meat to become a vegetarian? N.H., Royal Oak. Rabbit food might even make you live longer. Harvard nutritionist Dr. Frederick J.

A the carping the state does about pollution, why don't they use lead-free gas in their own cars? J.S., Detroit. They will in 1971 models. Spokesman for Motor Transport Division told Action Line that use of unleaded gas would require them to modify motors on all their old cars, and cost would be prohibitive. State rotates cars in its fleet of 8,000 when they reach 55,000 miles or three years of age; whichever comes sooner. Since all 1971 models will be able to accommodate lead-free gas soon state will have no excuse for polluting.

BY TOM DeLISLE Fru Press Stafl Writer The people who keep talking about what other people should buy turned their attention once again Friday to the miniskirt debate. Those people who advertise things, the Adcraft Club members, joined with the Detroit Chapter of the American Newspaper Representatives Association to present what else? "The Battle.

of the Hemlines" at a noon luncheon at the Hilton Hotel. FEATURED WAS A DEBATE between a mini advocate rnd a maxi advocate, with selected yahooing, hissing, booing and cheering from the ad people. Appearing for and in a mini was Marylin Stitz, fashioa editor of Chicago Today, who went into the contest as a sentimental favorite. The villainess was Nina Hyde, fashion editor of the Washington News, who came attired in a maxi and boots. Her garb, she told the audience, prompted someone on her airplane flight earlier in the day to remark that she was dressed like a witch.

Marylin spoke first, cutting quickly to the heart of the Issue: "I like short skirts because men like short skirts, and I like men." And she added: "I don't think designers should stuff those long skirts down our throats," which shows that if she ever wears a maxi she apparently puts it on the wrong way. Nina countered that maxis are "flattering and quite sexy" and that "fashion reflects what's happening in society." THE GIRLS GOT IN some extra shots, both of them landing punches above and below the knee, a short fashion show that featured the best of the m.ini-maxi worlds. "Pull her hair," a man in the crowd suggested after Nina laid a heavy ad lib on Marylin. At the end of the fashion parade, a hands-up vote was taken of the nearly 400 spectators. They voted 2 to 1 in favor of short skirts.

The audience was composed largely of men, but the females in attendance were also mini supporters. I It AP PtlOtO Rogers emphasizes a point for newsmen i 1 From UPI end AP KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -President Nixon ordereda new crackdown on terrorist bombings Friday and pledged vigorous enforcement of the anti-bombing legislation now nearing final congressional approval. The President phoned FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover from this Florida retreat and ordered him to launch an im-mediate investigation into three West Coast bombings which occurred Thursday.

Underground groups have claimed credit for the blasts, and White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said Mr. Nixon told Hoover to make every effort to identify the bombers. MR. NIXON said Thursday's bombings, which came on the third anniversary of the death of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, demon-s a the need for tough federal anti-bombing legislation.

A bill increasing the penalties for bombing and authorizing the death penalty when fatalities result has been passed by the House and is awaiting almost certain approval in the Senate.

Nixon new neace plan, Roger BY CLARK HOYT Free Press Politics Writer CEDAR, Mich. Lenore Romney conceded Friday "it doesn't look like" she can defeat Democratic Sen. Philip Hart in November. But the 61-year-old wife of former Michigan Gov. George Romney said she will not give up.

"I'm going to do everything I can to win," she said. Without bitterness and in a calm, clear voice she told a group of Michigan newspaper, editors: "I got all the bad breaks; maybe I'll get some good breaks now." SEATED on the floor of a ski lodge in this resort community near Traverse City, in Leelanau County, after a long, tiring day of campaigning through northern Michigan, Mrs. Romney said she did not disbelieve published opinion polls that showed her trailing Hart by as much as 3-1. "I have never had any reason to doubt polls," she said. "As far as my experience with them goes, they are good indicators." Kppmpd narticularlv Tjleaseii HOW YOU VOTED NO, 50.2 percent.

"1 don't care what sex it is as long as the baby is healthy." YES, 49.8 percent. COMMENTS: "Are you kidding? after live boys I'd sure like to know!" "You wouldn't have to buy all the clothes at the last minute" "Then I can plan who it'll bunk with" "I sure hope they find out before my next baby is born" "We'd know what color to decorate the nursery" "The suspense is too much for most women" "But I'd like the first baby to be a surprise." hv widesDread siiDDort for the "It doesn't look like it at this time, but I have seen upsets before." Coming in a relaxed, softly lighted setting, it was Mrs. Romney's frankest assessment yet of her prospects in the fall election. SHE SAID one of her bad breaks was a series of articles published by the Detroit News that alleged that her husband, now secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, had chosen the suburb of Warren to residential integration.

Another bad break, Mrs. Romney said, was the "very damaging" primary campaign waged a a i her by conservative state Sen. Robert Huber of Troy, who came very close to defeating her.
