White said that it was coin-c i that Channel 50, which went on the air Jan. 10, 1965, had been granted its permanent license only within the last month. He pointed out that Kaiser stations in Boston and Phila-d 1 i a which also ceased newscasting had been granted license renewals in 1969. Future plans of the 17 newsmen were indefinite. An-chorman Thomas was formerly associated with WXYZ-TV and radio, owned by the ABC network.

He had been transferred to the ABC network station in Los Angeles but returned to Detroit, his home area, to take over Channel 50 news on Feb. 15, 1970. Lou Gordon's programs and other Channel 50 public service programs will not be affected by the news cancellation, White said.

Pomeroy is hoping a number of students will come from campuses across' Michigan Saturday to discuss the organization.

The meeting, open to high school and college students, will begin at 9 a.m. in Michigan State University's Holden Hall in East Lansing. He said he hopes MSEC will become a strong organization with a regular staff to organize a statewide information and materials clearing house, publish a weekly newsletter, co-ordinate activities on campuses and speak as a unified voice of students.

To make sure the student ecology movement doesn't die, Pomeroy, a 1970 graduate of Albion College, and a group of students are working to organize the Michigan Student telecasts are on the air.

Chester F. Ogden, administrative vice-president of the Detroit Edison has been elected president of the United Community Services of Metropolitan Detroit (UCS) for 1971.

Bramblett succeeded i "splitting the difference" between his Sept. 11 wage offer of 38 cents and Woodcock's last demand for 61.6 cents an hour. Some of that average wage boost of 51 cents is cost-of-living money that accumulated because of the cap imposed in 1967, as Woodcock's detractors are now saying. But it is money auto work-e weren't earning before. And the ceiling was the fault of his predecessor, the late Walter P.

Reuther. Woodcock did not match the gains won by the Teamsters Union earlier this year. But his settlement was a victory, even if it is one that won't be fully appreciated until long after he has left office. Continued from Page 3A To gain higher wages and a no-ceiling guard against inflation, Woodcock bought a pension plan that provides for $500, but only after the 30-year worker has reached (in 1972) the age of 56. He also had to accept a kicker that penalizes the 30-year worker who chooses to retire before age 56.

But still, Woodcock broke the ice, and the UAW will improve the pension provisions in years to come. COLLECTIVE bargaining doesn't mean: "We want it 3tU now or else." It means, from the union viewpoint: "Let's get a start arid build on it." Woodcock did that.

The section requires the governor, when a budgetary deficit threatens, to make recommendations for erasing it. The Senate and House appropriations committees must approve or disapprove the recommendations. Allen said depressed tax collections and increased welfare outlays caused by the UAW strike against General Motors accounted for $50.4 million of an anticipated $62 million budget gap. The remainder, he said, resulted from a falloff in revenues because of a previous slowdown in the national economy. Germany Loses 126th Starfightcr BONN (UPI) West Germany lost its 126th American-designed F104 Starfight-er fighter jet Thursday when one crashed in Belgium during a training flight, the Defense Ministry said in Bonn.

MOST OF THE EMPLOYES said Thursday that they would riot vote for the pay cuts.

They must return signed payroll dedication authorizations by next Tuesday if they will accept the reductions. "They're just putting the burden of responsibility on the employes," said police Sgt. Floyd Fountain. "They want us to be the ones who have to let those six guys go." Shoup said the pay cuts would not affect the present mayor, Jay C. Brown, or the other members of the City Council.

Jones, who served as Riverview mayor for nine years, said Thursday: "It's unfortunate that some employes feel I was the one who dragged them down into this thing. I did all I could for them I even offered to work for them after I resigned as mayor." Jones, a Detroit Edison Co. employe, said he resigned in February because he was too busy to continue as mayor. 6719 (nf 'C21 JC2089 SET 1.29 1.29 69' 99c 1.89 79 99c 99 59 69 2.79 A.
