Rockefeller told reporters in

not talked with Ford about a
possible change in administra

“It’s a value judgment on my
part” that Ford might relent on
his hard line against aid.
“His policy is based on the
assumption that New York City
will not take the action needed
to balance its budget and take
other steps necesary to put its
house in order,” Rockefeller
said. “If the city did take these
steps, that would be something
he had not anticipated. If the
city did take these steps, he
might reappraise the situa
tion.”
The city found an unexpected
friend in Washington Tuesday
— House Republican leader
John Rhodes of Arizona, a
conservative who says, “It’s
sort of degrading to be a
bankrupt.”
29 on ore ship
believed dead
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich.
(UPI) — All 29 men aboard the
ore carrier Edmund Fitzgerald
apparently went down with the
ship in frigid Lake Superior, in
the worst shipping disaster on
the Great Lakes in 17 years,
the Coast Guard unofficially
conceded today.

center. The new building, covering a square block at the
foot of Market St. on the Bay, is scheduled to open after
the first of the year. (UPI)
In a break with Ford, Rhodes
said at a news conference he
could support a short-term loan
guarantee to enable New York
to avoid bankruptcy and to tide
the city over for two years or
so until it achieves a balanced
budget.
Two other conservatives —
Arthur Burns and Sen. James
Buckley — modified their
opposition to pending bills to
provide multibillion-dollar fed
erally guaranteed loans to the
big city.
Burns, chairman of the
Federal Reserve, and Treasury
Secretary William E. Simon
met for two hours with Felix
Rohatyn, chairman of the
Municipal Assistance Corpora
tion, and then consulted

by a raging storm Monday
evening.
Fading hopes for survivors
all but died late Tuesday when
searchers found the Fitz
gerald’s two wooden life boats
empty. One had a gaping hole
in the bottom and its two
orange rubber rafts, inflated
privately.
In New York, Mayor
Abraham Beame outlined plans
for reducing the city’s payroll
by an additional 8,374 jobs,
including 1,098 police officers,
to save S2OO million a year.
Earlier Burns told a caucus
of House Republicans he would
drop his opposition to federal
aid if he sees “deterioration” in
financial markets arising from
New York’s threatened finan
cial collapse.
“While I have not yet
reached the conclusion that
federal financial assistance is
necessary, I am closer to such
a conclusion than I have been
in the past,” Burns said.
automatically, also were
empty.
But the search went on.
“There’s always a miracle,”
Chief Warrant Officer Harold
Robbins of the Sault Ste. Marie
station said.
“It is highly doubtful there
are any survivors,” Capt.
Charles Millradt said. “The
water is about 50 degrees out
there. That means a life
expectancy of about 3% hours.”
At dusk Tuesday, 24 hours
after the “Fitz” sank while
battling 80-mile-an-hour winds
and 25-foot waves, no survivors
or bodies were spotted.
The expected loss of life
would make the sinking of the
Fitzgerald the worst Great
Lakes shipping disaster since
1958, when the freighter Carl D.
Bradley broke up Nov. 18 and
sank in a storm, taking 33 men
to the bottom of Lake Mi
chigan. The Fitzgerald was
launched that same year.
The weather — rain, freezing
temperatures and a forecast of
snow — forced the grounding
late Tuesday of a Cl3O cargo
plane circling the disaster area
about 60 miles northwest of
Sault Ste. Marie.
Two ships continued their
search in the area.
The Fitzgerald’s final voyage
began Sunday in Superior, Wis.,
where the ship took on 26,126
tons of taconite ore pellets for
Detroit.
As it rounded Whitefish Point
the vessel ran into a storm that
some officials later called the
worst in 30 years.
Private schools reviewed
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Supreme Court has decided to
take a lode at two practices
used by whites to avoid sending
their children to desegregated
public schools.
One is simply to move to a
“white” suburb. The other is to
forsake public schools altogeth
er and educate their children in
private schools.
The forthcoming decisions
could provoke the most debate
since the famous 1954 ruling
that racial discrimination in
public schools is unconstitu-
Cops tougher in Japan
By NEA/London Economist News Service
TOKYO - (LENS) - Japan
like some western countries,
has a statute of limitations for
even the most serious crimes.
A Japanese murderer who
can still be hanged if he is con
victed, becomes immune
from prosecution if he has not
been caught 15 years after the
crime. The police are allowed
a maximum of 10 years to in
vestigate cases carrying a life
sentence, and seven years for
those carrying sentences of up
to 10 years.
Nobody has ever questioned
this practice before But now
the police are working
themselves into a frenzy
because two of Japan's most
spectacular criminal cases of
recent years are due to be
droppped in December if the
detectives fail to come up
with some last-minute clues.
One of the cases involves
the theft of a Toulouse-
Lautrec painting from a
Kyoto museum in December,
1968. The other, in the very
same month, was the biggest
cash robbery in Japanese
history. It was committed by
a young man in police uniform
who stopped a bank van in the
Tokyo suburb of Chofu on the
pretext of searching for a
bomb and drove off with $725,-
000 in Christmas bonuses.
The Japanese police, who
pride themselves on a 90 per
cent rate for solving
“serious” crimes, have since
April searched through 13
million fingerprint records to
try to identify the seven prints
which were found on the

The “white flight” issue
came in a case from Pasadena,
Calif., where the public schools
had been under a 1970 federal
court order to desegregate. The
school board asked for a re
examination of the situation
because the order was largely
responsible for white families’
movement outside the area.

— Griffin Daily News Wednesday, November 12,1975
The Circuit Court read
Supreme Court standards as
indicating that “white flight”
does not excuse a school
system from its constitutional
duties.
The private school case,
much more complex, stemmed
from unsuccessful efforts of two
sets of Northern Virginia black
parents to enter their children
in Fairfax-Brewster School in
Fairfax County and Bobbe’s
School in Arlington.
U.S. District Judge Albert V.
Bryan Jr. of Alexandria or-
Clearly there are failures —
but the Japanese police do
catch someone, or at least
arrest someone, for nearly
every crime, and the overall
crime rate remains extremely
low. Tokyo has an annual in
cidence of fewer than 100
breaches of the criminal code
for every 100.000 people, com
pared with London’s 160 and
New York's 300. The rate is
lower still in Japan’s second
city of Osaka. And in both
major cities, crime is
decreasing.
The reasons why Japanese
policemen do so well can be
traced partly to their own
operating methods and partly
to the kind of society they
work in. The police force is
dered total damages of $5,500
against the schools and ordered
them to stop racial discrimina
tion.
The parents invoked a post-
Civil War statute guaranteeing
all citizens the right “to make
and enforce contracts.” They
could not proceed under the
14th Amendment to the Consti
tution, which has been the basis
for black victories in public
school cases, because the
constitutional protections are
good only against governmental
bodies — not individuals.
