68 Saturday, July 15, 1972 Panel Wants Full Faculty Integration "i O. Hill BY WILLIAM GRANT Free Press Education Writer The panel drawing up a school integration plan for the Detroit area decided Friday that it wants full faculty integration this fall, even though there may be only limited student integration. In a daylong private meeting in Lansing, the 11-member panel also made other key decisions about the shape of the plan it must recommend to U.S. District Judge Stephen J. Roth by July 29.

It decided: Not to recommend consolidation or any other change in the present structure of the 53 school systems in the plan. Continua- The decision on faculty integration could put Roth's panel at odds with a state Department of Education task force studying the matter. That task force had made a preliminary decision favoring faculty integration in only those clusters where students were to be integrated. John W. Porter, state superintendent of public instruction, sent a letter Friday to all school systems "suggesting" that they not fill any faculty vacancies.

Some panel members wanted Porter to send a much stronger letter ordering the school systems not to fill the vacancies so Please turn to Page 5A, Col. 1 ti DSR finds fare cuts too costly. Page 3A.

OBrien Qiiif oman i amea I've heard that the anti-pollution control systems cause new cars to get lower gas mileage. So how do you get less pollution by burning more fuel? W.B., Livonia. By burning cooler. Car manufacturers have changed spark plug timing and lowered the compression ratio on 1972 models. Result: cars eat a little more gas, deliver less power with a cooler engine temperature.

Reason: most difficult pollitlant to control, nitrogen oxide, sails right past catalyst gadget on the exhaust pipe. Only known way to spew out less of it is to create less of it. Cooler engine helps. Doesn't mean muscle cars are pussycats inside. Unless you're a rally driver, you won't notice the difference in performance.

BY SAUL FRIEDMAN Fm Press Washington Stiff MIAMI BEACH Sen. George McGovern suffered a disappointment Friday in a bid for party harmony when Democratic National Chairman Lawrence O'Brien quit to make way for McGovern's choice. McGovern appeared personally before the incoming Democratic National Committee to recommend election of Jean Westwood, a top McGovern aide and the national committeewoman from Utah, as chairwoman. Mrs. Westwood was elected without a contest.

Although 'B 1 is no longer chairman, McGovern announced that he will have a "major role" of some kind in the fall election campaign. O'Brien said that he had lieen discussing a role with McGovern "that might hopefully have an effect in the fall." McGovern then nominated Pierre Salinger, former press secretary to President John Kennedy, as vice-chairman of the national committee. However, Salinger soon found his nomination contested from the floor. Charles Evers, a black leader from Mississippi, nominated a contender Basil Patterson of New York, a black. Salinger said: "I think I sense the feeling in this room and would therefore like to withdraw my name." And Patterson was elected vice-chairman.

McGOVERN came to the podium with O'Brien after a two hour meeting between the two Divided Dems Foil Predictions Of Blood Turmoil "Ya'll come to see me in Alabama. I'm still alive and kicking." With those words, Gov. George Wallace flew home to Birmingham, Friday from the Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach.

I signed a purchase agreement and put a $500 deposit on a house through Seifert Realty in Albion. Then I found out the house had termites. The realtor Max Seifert said I'd lose my deposit if I backed out. So I decided to buy the house, only to find out he sold it to someone else. He still kept my money.

Can he do that? A.M., Marshall. Not without a judge's blessing. After Action Line told state Real Estate Licensing Division about your case, it held a hearing, ordered the $500 into a trust account pending your hearing in Calhoun Counly Circuit Court. State can withhold licenses from realtors who flout regulations, is not empowered to order companies to return deposit money.

BOYD Chief of Our Washington Bureau MIAMI BEACH In 1964, Barry Goldwater's ringing declaration at the end of the Republican National Convention "Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice" split his party and guaranteed his defeat that fall. In 1968, the bloody turmoil in the streets outside the Chicago convention doomed Hubert Humphrey's chance of victory.

Tn 1972, there were many forecasts that George McGovern would be another Goldwater, and Miami Beach another Chicago. The forecast turned out to be exaggerated. McGovern left town Friday at the head of, a party deeply divided by his candidacy. But, Unlike Goldwater, he already was moving to heal the breech, and getting a few friendly reactions. As for the street scene, bare statistics tell the difference: 9 Chicago, 1968: 680 arrested, Please turn to Page 5A, Col.

I It charged that the six had planned to "fire lead weights, 'fried' marbles, ball bearings, cherry bombs and smoke bombs at police. by means of wrist rocket slingshots and crossbows." An attempt to "disrupt communications" also was alleged. The indictments were brought under the same anti-conspiracy law used by the Justice Department after the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The seven men in that case were acquitted of conspiracy, but five were convicted on other charges.

The Florida indictment came only hours after the Democrats, on the last night of their national convention, passed a resotution which condemned the Nixon administration for attempting to "intimidate and discredit" the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. From UPI nd AP TALLAHASSEE. I la. Six members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War were indicted hy a federal grand jury Friday on charges of conspiring to cause riots during the Republican National Convention with fire homhs, automatic weapons and slingshot-propelled fireworks. Scott Camil of Gainesville, the Florida chairman of was also indicted on one count of manufacturing and possessing a fire bomb and one count of instructing others in how to use explosives.

The six indicted on conspiracy charges were Camil; John W. Kniffen of Austin, William J. Patterson of El Paso, Peter P. Mahoney of New York; Alton C. I-'oss of Hialeah, and Donald P.

The other five could receive a Last week Detroit Department of Parks and Recreation cut down a diseased elm tree on city property in front of my house. That was great, except that the tree had grown around a utility cable, and the workers left a two-foot chunk of tree hanging on the wire. Can you help before someone is knocked out or electrocuted? B.S., Detroit.

Detroit Edison crew chopped wood off your wire after Action Line called. Wire wasn't live, hut extra weight didn't help wire was heavy guy wire that's supporting two poles. "We've got a few of those hanging around," Parks and Rec official told Action Line. He admitted city should have chopped chunk of wood down to size when it removed the tree. I answered an ad in an amateur radio magazine for Lewis-paul Electronics in Allendale, N.J.

They offered to pay $50 for 70 unused radio tubes. I sent my tubes on March 22, and haven't heard a thing. I wrote three letters to the company (the first two polite), two to the Better Business Bureau and finally wrote the postal inspectors and the magazine where I saw the ad. Nothing helped. Can you? R.

Belleville. First the good news. You'll get a check next week. But you'll also get back the tubes company won't buy. Company tests every tube it gets, said about half of yours were 4-F.

"We tell people to appraise their tubes before sending them in," Lewis-paul spokesman said. Company buys good tubes from ham radio buffs, sells them overseas. Local postal inspector told Action Line he remembered your letter because it was the only complaint he's ever received about the company. Archie Martha Miami Beach, 1972: Two arrested, four injured. Inside the convention hall, the contrast was almost as sharp.

Instead of the emotional frenzy of the Kennedy-McCarthy delegates, McGovern's legions of young people, blacks, Chicanos and female activists generally displayed a discipline and restraint that stunned both their enemies and the pundits who wrote that the hall would be "ankle-deep in blood." A New York Times headline writer was moved to label it "A Triumph of Maturity." THE POST-CONVENTION scene is not all sunshine and hibiscus flowers, however.

COMMENTS: "McGovern's a good candidate in the best traditions of the Democratic party" "People are tired to the duplicity and cynicism of the Nixon administration" "Nixon should be bused to Vietnam" "McGovern is truly the nominee of the people." Fischer could lose not only his chance at the title but also more than $100,000.

If the match runs its course, the loser will be entitled to $46,875 from the federation, $45,000 from a purse of about $120,000 offered by British financier James Slater, and $27,500 from television and movie rights. In a seven-page letter to Lothar Schmid, the! chief referee, Fischer asserted: "The bungling unknowns who claimed to be professional cameramen were clumsy, rude and deceitful. "It seemed to me that the organizers deliberately tried to upset and provoke me by the way they coddled and kowtowed to that (cajnera) crew. "I am keen to play this match, and I hope Game 2 will be scheduled for Sunday, July 16, at 5 in the afternoon." A four-man committee voted 3-1 to reject Fischer's request for a replay, said Gudmunder Arn-laughsson of Iceland, assistant referee, who served on the committee. Andrew Davis, Fischer's lawyer, argued that if one player objected, that was sufficient reason to halt the play.

Spassky commented only that he planned to go fishing for two days and not think about chess. REYKJAVIK (AP) Bobby Fischer charged Friday that tournament organizers seemed to "upset and provoke me" deliberately, but an appeals committee rejected his request to replay the chess game he forfeited to Boris Spassky. The world champion from the Soviet Union was awarded Thursday's second game in the championship match when Fischer refused to appear, staying in his hotel suite, because he objected to three movie and TV cameras in the hall. Thus Spassky, who won the first game, was ahead 2-0 in the 24-game series. He needs 10 more points to retain the title.

A victory counts one point and a draw half a point. FISCHER SAID THAT if the forfeit ruling were reversed and all cameras were removed, he would go ahead with the match. He made the demand even though it was only the movie and television rights that allowed the Icelandic Chess Federation to offer a record $125,000 purse for both players. Gumundur Thorarinsson, president of the Icelandic federation, said the cameras would be removed but Spassky's game point would stay. That still left the future of the championship in doubt.

Thorarinsson said that if the match should be stopped by Fischer's disqualification, the organizers would not pay him the loser's share.
