"When I heard about the closing I was pretty upset," said Mrs. I illie Vinson at the Inkster center. "We definitely don't need this.

I've just bought a new house." Dr. Richard Hannapel, 31, believes the dental clinic where he works 20 hours a week has made a i the last fiscal year. The program serves eight communities in Wayne County outside Detroit. They are Hamtramck, Highland Park, Ecorse, River Rouge, Inkster, Sumpter Township, Taylor and Romulus. At various community centers Monday, some of the 90 anti-poverty workers who will lose their jobs were bitter about the shutdown, which is set for Nov.

Although he claims that the clinic has a waiting list of more than 500 people who need dental care, there were no patients in the office during an hour's visit Monday morning. In fact, at the Taylor center were Dr. Hannapel, five anti-poverty workers and two employes of the Michigan Employment Security Commission. There were no clients. Mrs.

Janet i who runs the center, was vague about how many people use the services of the center. Nine hard-core unemployed were put to work in the three-month period of June, July and August. AT THE TAYLOR City Hall, sources acknowledged that the anti-poverty program did not seem to be producing. "I don't believe we would go to the wall to save the program," said one city official. But it was a different story at Inkster center, where there was genuine concern about what will happen to people served by the program.

"A lot of people are going to be hurt," said Mrs. Betty Wilson, a community aide. She said more than 1,000 families get help through the center. One important service provided by the center, she said, is transportation. That is a service Charlene Green, 21, relies on when she takes her 14-month-old child to the hospital for shots each month.

Mrs. Green was at the center Monday trying to find a job. "We don't know where to go to look," she said, "until they tell us who Is hiring." Another booster of the program is Bernard Mangrum, an employe at Uniroyal. He has been doing volunteer work at the Inkster center for the last three years.

Tuesday's free public symposium is on chemicals. Sunday's subject was ecology. Monday's was disease. Topics to be covered Tuesday are agricultural chemicals, food additives, and drugs and human welfare. They will be presented by leading scientists in each field.

There will be a panel discussiion including a physician, an official of the Food and Drug Administration, Gov. Milliken, and a representative of the mayor of Denver.

He said it would take more than several decades just to-significantly slow the rate of growth. Ehrlich also warned of the hazards involved in letting an underdeveloped nation derive the bulk of its food from only one major new crop. He pointed out that all plants are subject to disease often new diseases that cannot be predicted and that vast fields of a single vulner-' able species would succumb quickly. a of the high-protein grains developed so far are highly inbred strains that lack the natural disease resistance of wild plants. They can be grown only under highly sophisticated methods of fertilization and i-cide use each of which poses additional environmental burdens.

"ON A POTATO diet," Ehrlich recalled, "the Irish population was able to increase from two to eight million peo-p 1 1 to suffer catastrophic starvation and emigration when the potato blight wiped out two successive crops." A more varied diet would have left other foods to fall back on. Food from the sea also remains a poor prospect, Ehrlich said, noting that the sea'i harvest in annual tonnage declined last year.

The Detroit Board of Canvassers, meeting with In-happy election watchers, began the exacting task Monday of determining whether last Tuesday's computer-marled election 1 be certified by the Nov. 17 deadline.

If the four-man board refused certification, it would be the first step which could ultimately lead to the holding of a new election. In the that all areas of degraded environment be cleaned up.

Door Building Put Election in Materials Dept. Trial Is On In Slay 1112: Of 4 Youths BY TOM RICKE Free Press Staff Writer Jury selection began Monday in the trial of Arville D. Garland. Garland, a 45-year-old railroad worker from Erwin, is charged with one count of second-degree murder and three counts of first-degree murder in the killing of his daughter Sandra and three male companions last May. Garland has admitted killing his 17-year-old daughter and her companions, Gregory Walls, 17, Scott Kabran, 18, and Anthony Brown, 16.

They were slain in an apartment house called Stonehead Manor by its inhabitants at 4330 Lincoln near Wayne State University. Sandra Garland had left her a s' home at 5755 Otis five days before she was killed. Her parents said they were "frantically" searching for their daughter during those five days. Garland visited the building at 4330 Lincoln the afternoon before the killings. He offered Keith Potter, a resident at the i $50 to tell him where Sandra was.

Garland reportedly told the residents he planned to bring Sandra home "dead or alive." ACCORDING to his attorneys, Oliver Nelson, John Carney and Emmet Tracy, Garland will contend that he accidentally shot his daughter and then was temporarily insane during the rest of the shootings. The prosecution, e-sented by Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Leonard Gilman, will try to prove that Garland was not temporarily insane and that he is guilty of premeditated murder. Garland sat quietly in court next to his attorneys Monday afternoon, nervously clenching his hands. He was dressed in a blue suit, white shirt, and gray tie. His hair has turned from dark black to gray and white since the i 1 1 i and his weight has fallen from 240 pounds to 160.

RECORDER'S Court Judge Joseph Gillis began questioning 14 prospective jurors and then adjourned the jury selection until 11 a.m. Tuesday. Judge Gillis has limited the defense to 20 jury challenges and the prosecution to 15. Attorneys said they hope to select a jury this week and begin taking testimony Friday. The trial is expected to last at least eight days.

(c) New York Tim Service WILMINGTON, Del. The General Motors Corp. on Monday lost its bid to prevent the Department of Transportation from requiring it to notify owners of a safety defect in 200,000 pickup trucks.

The U.S. District Court here denied GM's request for a temporary restraining order that would have stopped the government from enforcing the requirement. GENERAL MOTORS asked for the court order last week when the department decided after an investigation that wheels on the trucks were unsafe. The department called on the company to notify owners, a step that ordinarily results in the recall of motor vehicles for correction of safety defects. General Motors, however, insists that the wheels are safe if the trucks are not overloaded with campers or other heavy bodjes.

It consequently is fighting the order and does not intend to recall 150,000 of the trucks, which have not been fitted with campers or other such units. Earlier the conlpany did recall 50,000 trucks that were equipped with heavy bodies. In denying the restraining order, Judge Caleb Wright said GM had not shown that it would suffer "irreparable injury." The government sued GM for $400,000 Friday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, charging violation of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicles Safety Act of 1966. It contended that GM violated the act by refusing to send out defect notifications to owners.

In the same suit, the government asked the court to order GM to notify the owners of the safety defect. Monday, the government asked the district court here either to dismiss a General Motors petition for review of the case, to transfer it to the district court in Washington or' to Right IS PL Reg. 59.95 4 Delivered Sale Price) 97 nning Dept. ljn n.
