DNR said improved industrial equipment and better sewage treatment has helped clean up chlorides, phosphates and ammonia. Since 1966 chloride content has dropped from 51 to 35 milligrams per liicr of water, ammonia nitrogen from .7:1 to mpl, and phosphates from .59 to .14 mpl. Most visible improvement is drop in amount of suspended solids water quality engineers' talk for dirt.

Thomas Eagluton acknowledged Tuesday that he has twice undergone electro-shock therapy for psychiatric problems and had offered pn vately over the weekend to withdraw as George Ml Govern's vice-presidential run ning mate. The revelations came a-, a resalt of a week-long inquirv by Knjght Newspapers into the 42-year-old Missouri previously unknown medical history. In on exclusive Interview with Knight reporters Tuesday, Eagleton said McGovern refused his offer to withdraw. "He flatly said it wasn't in his mind," Eagleton said after disclosing that; he had been hospitalized three times between 1960 and 1966 for "nervous exhaustion" and "depression." AT A conference after a two-hour merlin with Eagleton in McGovern's log cabin retreat here, Democratic presidential nominee declared: "I think Turn Eagleton is fully qualified to be vice-president of the United States and if necessary tt take over the presidency on moment's notice." A tense, pale Eagleton, Ins head and hands trembling, told the press conference: "I am satisfied that my health is sound and I've learned the lessons of the past." Later, appearing relaxed and at ease as he was being driven to the Rapid City air port for a chartered flight to California, Eagleton tuld Knight Newspapers he was immensely relieved to be unburdened of his longtime secret. "I've been living with it, lot 12 years it's been a millstone around my neck," lie said, puffing on a cigaret and peering out at the lush green hills.

"I always knew it was going to come out someday." BUT TO KEEP the mat-er hidden as long as possible, Eagleton conceded, his staif deliberately misled Missouri newsmen in 1966 by hiniing that he was'being treated for a gastric disturbance at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore when in fact he wa? receiving shock therapy at the Mayo Clinic i Rochester, Minn. "I never was at Johns Hopkins," he said. "It was a piny a mild attempt to be diversionary."

"They maintain that it is unfair to liold that someone who has had hospitalization for mental problems is less reliable than a person who has been hospitalized for a broken arm. "One of the problems is thai there are probably people ho are dangerous and who would not seek help and would not have that label on them. "So it is quite erroneous hold that someone without th label and without the history is necessarily better off." THE FACT that Eagleton had electroshock therapy indicates that the episode was moderate to severe.

The hostess told me unescorted women couldn't sit at the bar. I think this is a case of gross sex discrimination.

D. Ann Arbor. So does the state of Michigan. Public Act 116, signed into law by Governor Milliken on April 18, makes it a misdemeanor to withhold privileges in places of public accommodation solely on the basis of sex. Michigan Civil Rights Commission said law hasn't been tested in court yet.

CRC would like to start with you, will be in touch soon about taking your case to court. Chop management said policy of refusing to seat unescorted women at the bar is "for women's own protection." If found guilty, penalty for that, kind of protection is not less than $I(J() or days in jail, or both. Detroiters who think their civil rights have been violated under the new law can file a complaint with the police.

Fourth of ii St ria BY WILLIAM SF.RRIN Fiee Press Stall Writer I ive years ago, on the tumultuous third night of the Detroit riot, three black youths were killed when Detroit policemen stormed the shabby Algiers Motel, at Woodward and Virginia Park.

No one has yet been held to answer for the deaths of the three blacks in a case that has come to symbolie, in many people's minds, the riot, police action, the administration of justice itself. Never has there been zeal to bring accused policemen to trial. ONE SUSPENDED Detroit policemen still awaits a possible first-degree murder trial in Recorder's Court. The case against that officer, Robert Paille, is one of the oldest in the court's history. Since 1067, another policeman Ronald Augu-4 has been cleared of a first degree murder charge.

A state conspiracy charge again.it Paille, suspended policeman David Senak and a private guard lias been thrown out of court. Also, a jury bus found all three policemen and the guard inno-ccnt of federal conspiracy charges. At the heart of the case subject of national attention and a book by prize-winning author Juhn Horsey is a question asked by Ramsey Clark, who, as U.S. attorney general, authorized the federal conspiracy indictment in the Algiers killings. His question: "Who will protect the public when the police violate the law?" The killings in the rundown motel annex since demolished came during the dark hours of Tuesday and Wednesday, July 25-26, 1967.

THE syphilis experiment, called Tuskegee Study, began in in Tuskegee, Eagleton Able lo Normally, Doctors Believe ft. WASIIINtiTON (AP) During a 40-year federal experiment, a number of syphilis victims were denied proper medical treatment for their disease. Some died as a result, but survivors are now getting whatever aid is possible, the U.S.

Public Health Service says. 'The experiment, conducted by the health service, was designed to uetermine through autopsies what damage untreated syphilis does to the human body. Of about 600 Alabama black men who originally took part in the study, 2011 or so were allowed to suffer the disease and its side effects without treatment, even after penicillin was discovered as a cure for syphilis. Treatment could probably have saved or helped many of them, health officials admit. They contend that survivors of the experiment are now loo old to treat for syphilis, but that government doctors arc giving them thorough physicals every two years and are treating them for whatever other ailments and diseases they have developed.

MEMBERS of Congress reacted with shock Tuesday to disclosure of the experimentation on human guinea pigs. Sen. William Proxmire, a member of the Senate appropriations subcommittee which oversees health-service budgets, called the study a moral and ethical nightmare."

"None whatever," said Dr. Karl Menninger, 79, who is senior member of the Menninger Clinic of Topeka, Kan.

"Abraham Lincoln had a very severe depression before he was president, many other presidents probably have if they didn't they ought to have had."
